not many people can undrstnd how i can spend time berlama2 dlm bookstore. well, it's because i was raised that way (hahaha). i started reading at a very young age... by that i mean very, very young. my parents used to bring my sister & i to bookshops. we were free to belek2/pilih storybooks, colouring books, comics, stationery, art supplies, etc2 that we wanted. masa tu kecik lg. so xpikir pn la parents ni sure menggelabah nk kuarkn duit cz anak2 diorg berlama2 dlm kedai buku tu & dh pilih mcm2 sgt brg utk beli.
bila dh besar, br le pikir - "parents aku dulu krja keras nk cari duit utk ank2. kitorg lk asal masuk kedai buku, sure nk lama2. lpstu nk beli buku mcm2. kesiannye diorg". tp, kesedaran cmtu dh terlambat, nasik dh jd bubur... habit dr kecik dh membw ke besar. i mean, habit dok dlm kedai buku lma2 la (bkn habit gna duit mak bapak nk beli buku). smpi skrg i can sit for hours in a bookshop tnpa rs bersalah walau sikit pun. eh, silap... kalo i TERbw masuk kwn yg xbrp sgt suka nk dok lma2 dlm kedai buku, br la rs bersalah, hehehe.
msa wt matric & de 1 semester tu i amik kelas English je (1 semester amik English semata), rs bosannye kehidupan. trlbh rileks sgt. so, pnah la dgn roommate & her friend spent time dok 3jam dlm MPH. spent 3jam dlm kedai buku bersma kwn ms dh masuk uni cm agak rare case bunyinye. bila dh wt degree lk, smtimes g kedai buku kecik yg sll jual buku 2nd hand tu. kalo g kedai cmni xlh nk lma2 sgt cz kedai kecik & we r spoilt with too many books to choose from. so, kna wt pilihan buku dgn pantas. if not, asyik berlaga dgn org.
i went to 3 different bookshops in a day last weekend, just to kill time =) was with my friend who have d same interest/habit. dlm 1 hari tu, we went to MPH, Popular & also Borders. paling lma kt MPH. paling sekjp kt Borders. & d following day, we went to Popular lg (at anothr mall lk) & berlma2 gk dlm tu. xla smpi 1 jam rasanye, tp puas la menjamu mata & gigih menahan nafsu nk beli mcm2. nanges. T___T
terima kasih bookstores in malaysia. masing2 dh upgrade & provide people like me & my friend (& a lot more out there), yg ada this weird connection with bookstores, with nice ambience. best dok dlm bookstore skrg. aircond sepoi2 bahasa je, jst nice if nk duduk lma2 smpi 5jam dlm kedai tu, hehehe. siap ada caffe, sofa gedabak cm kt umh utk nk dok lepak bc buku, mcm2 activities for d public, etc2. & not forgetting d fact that bookshops skrg jual byk sgt cute stationery. haiihhh, hw can i not go crazy bila masuk kedai buku? now, we also hv more of those kedai buku yg jual buku at cheaper price. yes, books in this country adalah sedikit mhl than books sold abroad. tp that shouldn't b an excuse to stop u from reading.

sedikit nsht (based on experience), don't force ppl to read books/materials that they dont like. read whtever that's interesting to YOU, not things that others find interesting. tp adik2, kalo kna bc buku skolah cz nk kna pass SPM, takleh la xsuka. hehehe.
.hv a productive day ahead.
