Books are a uniquely portable magic - Stephen King

To be honest, I'm not gonna spend the RM200 vouchers to buy school related books, because usually one Physics/Radiation Sciences book costs more than RM200, and I won't be needing any since next semester I'm only doing research. But I'm not gonna go and buy calculators and then sell it back to people (haha siapa tau idea ni datang dari mana memang terer). I might not make it to Mid Valley's MPH before the 22nd (they're relocating so they're having a 70% sale!) so I'll be heading to Popular branches with my Popular card for more ~discounts (such a cheapskate) to spend the RM200 on novels. Squee! *rolls around in imaginary books*

Basically it's for my New Year's Resolution, I promised to read at least one book per month, and if I couldn't, at least 10 books this year. Remember this post? (who am I kidding, of course not) I only have the last Millennium series left, and I'm currently reading it. So thanks to kerajaan Malaysia I can fulfil my resolution without having to spend too much of my own money. It might not be a school book but at least I'm still gonna read, right? ;)

That place that does contain 

My books, the best companions, is to me 

A glorious court, where hourly I converse 

With the old sages and philosophers; 

And sometimes, for variety, I confer 

With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels; 

Calling their victories, if unjustly got, 

Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy, 

Deface their ill-placed statues. 

~Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher
