Thx to me and my family, Popular is now 107 bucks richer. It's so easy to earn money when you're working in some famous stationary/book store.
But thx to me and my family again, popular is now...
-3 correction tapes and their refills
-1 box of correction tape refills
-1 file
-4 books
-and a few more things that I can't remember
poorer.
So let's just say that my family gained 107 bucks worth of stuff but lost 107 bucks worth of tangible money.
I am proud to say that 3 out of the 4 books are mine!!! Mua ha ha ha ha!
Hey girls from normal chinese class? Remember when I said the deal that my mother made me? Well, now I'm 50 bucks richer in terms of market stuff than money. I have kindly donated all of it to Popular in the process of buying all the 3 books. You see now that I have such a big heart? (lol. I hope that my chest ain't bursting).
From about 15:00 on 2nd September, I am the proud owner of...
-Maximum Ride Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports (that's a hard cover book, cost me half my budget, and it's the 3rd of it's series)
-Grim Tuesday (I got Mister Monday already, if you're wondering)
-The Starlight conspiracy (that's the 3rd book of a series...and I don't have the first 2 books, and I haven't read the first two books either)
-1 correction tape
-1 correction tape refill and about a third of the box too
-Some knowledge skills on the layout of one of the Popular bookstore in TaoPaYo (yo, ppl, I don't know how to spell that [pretty obvious that my knowledge on Singapore isn't too good])
Gosh, that Popular had the Maximum Ride School's out Forever in hard cover and paperback too! But my mother wouldn't let me buy those, seeing that I have already read them. Sigh. Hey, on the bright side, AnYan, you don't have to lend me the book Vera lent you anymore! Oh yeah, and I couldn't find Maximum Ride the Angel Experiment even though I had figuratively turned Popular topsy turvy in search for it.
Do you know that the Popular I went to only had like...um...2 book shelves of about the height of my eye for teenage fantasy books? And the book shelves were about, twice of my height in length? That's REALLY little. I had only about this little choice (writer of blog sticks out her thumb and index finger and makes a small distance between them of about a millimetre) of books.
Hey, AnYan, I saw the Diamond Brothers series but my mum wouldn't let me buy any of them because the thick ones were a tad bit too expensive (to me, that is, I've got a budget, you know! After getting Maximum Ride I had only like, 25 bucks left!) and the thin ones...well, she claims that I could finish them in about...lets say 3 hours. Wow mum. Sometimes you even surprise me. You overestimated me...sometimes I wished that she had said I could get 100 bucks instead of 50. Sigh.
So, my sister, who was not even SUPPOSED to be in Popular at ALL, tagged along and bought a book. Which costs as much as the Maximum ride book. Gosh, that was half my budget, and the book wasn't even a hard cover one! She. Is. Such. A. Little. (insert a profanity [that's a BAD, emphasize on BAD, word] of your choice here, and it has to be a noun). If it were cass, it'll probably be 'Sucker'. If it were me (and it IS me)...
It would be something so bad that your sensitive eyes wouldn't be able to take it, it's not the 'f' word, oh yes, but it's gonna be something worse (and someone's yet to invent such a word, probably me, prefably me). (At this point, someone should have noticed that the writer has some evil glint in her eye) Something out of this world! (Do you think I'm overreacting? Like I'm on valium or something? Because it certainly seems that I am, and 12 and a half years of pent up anger just comes flowing out like a sea on a dam. Oh damn. I don't want to be such a meatphoric person. Just checking, is there such a word as 'metaphoric'?
