15th March, 2009 - I was at the MPH clearance sale, Plaza Mayang with a close friend this afternoon. It was so damn hot, no air-cond, nearly fainted ... phew! After a while, kinda got used to the 'bad' air and didn't quite mind the sweat that started rolling down ^_^ Guess it's because of my love for books that I endured the torture ! Arrgghhh ... burning fat at the same time? Lol ..
Anyway, I managed to grab hold of a few books, one of which is You've Got To Read This Book ! Didn't want to put down the book once I started reading it, making mental notes to get hold of those books (some of which I have not heard of !) that somehow changed famous people's life ^_^ Wow ! Some of the stories blew me away, literally lah :-)
Oops! Before I forget, let me just write some of the books to get hold of : Well, if any one of you have these books, give me a tinkle ya :-)
