Book Voucher Shopping @ Kinokuniya

 

I've gotten my 1 Malaysia Book Voucher (BB1M) worth RM250 around end of April and has been deciding which bookstore to go to grab my goodies. But my choice were only limited to Popular Bookstore and Kinokunoya because I have zero interest in the rest. I don't really have any particular fictions I'm aiming for (mainly because my sis have been buying them and I would just read hers if I wanted to), only some Japanese related stuffs at Kino. Popular was in my consideration because they will give out free RM50 book voucher if you choose to spend all your rm250 voucher in Popular, which means can buy more books (my sis can buy more books lol, since I don't know what to buy).

 

We have visited Sunway Popular, and the books that my sis wanted all not available =_= (talk about unlucky-ness). Then my mum decided to just bring me to Kino to see what stuff I want to buy coz she say the vouchers are mine and I should buy some stuff I like with it.

 

And so, these are what I got at Kinokuniya! >>

Tadaa!!!~~



Good stuffs are really expensive so didn't manage to get much.

Buying process were not exactly fun that day. At first we selected only one book, and the rest are all magazines; went to queue up, and they told us we have to verify our vouchers at another counter. Which is ok, so we left the queue, go to another counter to verify. Then we queued again. And when we were about to pay, the cashier told us that majority of the coupon has to be used for BOOKS, magazine not counted. Okaaay....so we had to shop again, and queue again. And after the payment we got a rm20 book voucher from Kino, so had to go shop for a book again, and queue again. Really tiring coz we had to go through the same process for like three times.

The only seriously pro looking book of the day lol. This has collections of business use emails in Japanese (and explanation in English), just what I'm looking for except I would prefer something even deeper. Saw a business/finance dictionary in Japanese to English and vice versa which is like super good and I really love it, cost around RM500, can vomit blood. Gonna go Kino again to sloooowly look through the racks for more of these later.

 

Final Fantasy Super Best Piano Solo Scores. The 2nd book which I picked to have majority of the voucher amount used on books. Two books add up already around RM240+ lol, no room for magazine d.

 

This is the thickest piano score book available in Kino lol. With all popular and great track/song scores from FF1- FF13. Kind of a great deal considering the amount of pieces they have in a book for RM130. Gonna get one more for piano scores + vocal.

Magazines~ Personally prefer Jelly more because it's focused on makeup and hair. Wanted to get a fashion related book/magazine but can't find one that I really like (not much time to slowly stare at them). Ageha - bought it coz it has Ank Rouge free gift, kinda regretted not getting another mag which gives LizLisa cosmetic pouch. Ageha's makeup is seriously super purikura-ish lol, but still can learn some stuff (Jelly still better). Had to give up on Kera coz spent too much d hahaha.

 

My sister's stuff: Asuka and ZeroSum. Super great manga magazines that have like super loads of nice new mangas. Got free gift summore (eg: Karneval mouse pad, super pretty!!).

 

Chinese novel also got free gift lol. It's like everything from Kino also got free gift. Am probably gonna pay another visit in 2 months time, gonna spend probably a day there slowly picking up more goodies!~



入学トラブル！！

I was nearly a Sunway uni student until I decided not to after going to the short 'registering' session with mum yesterday. First of all service was bad, the front desk's attitude was extremely bad and rude, my excitement to go study there had fade like 80%. Top up with the rediculous timetable and how the front desk lady said that I had to TRY MY LUCK in order to get into class made me reconsider. I wonder what's up with having more than 200 RETURNING students, does that mean that they have that much of failing students? Nah, I don't understand and I don't need to understand. Personally I really dislike lecture based schooling, expecially with that much of students in one class. All the while I think what really made me learn are those tutorial sessions that I went. 

I did not make Taylor's a choice at first because there're only weekend classes available. I do not really like my weekends being disturbed and so on. But if I compared to Sunway's stupid timetable, I would have a 6 days of full lessons (8am-10pm), not to mention that I always have to be in uni before 7am. It's insane and absurd. I don't think I can be any productive during that 6 days, and even my sunday, I wonder will I really absorb my studies. I was tired of having to stay in uni from 7am-6pm daily ever since my A-Levels until my degree. So any longer hours than that, I really could not accept that. So in conclusion, I had to compromise with myself and go for Taylor's and do their weekend classes. I really hope the Wednesday night classes won't crash too much with my guitar class. I don't wanna stop it now, it's sort of my only happy going class now.

 

 

Anyway, will go register for Taylor's this week, and hopefully I do not have to go through any more hassle (including the exemption thingy). Am praying hard that I could take the exam this year end and not dragging anymore. Oh and I have to pray for my wine course as I suddenly do not have confidence that my parents would agree for it (though I have sent my forms). I have been dragging this course for a year and I really want to know more about wine and spirits.

試験の後。。希望?絶望？

Well, Exams are finally over, had been restricting myself from blogging. Due to that, many of my memories have faded, as well as those feelings. It is scary to say, without something to cling into, what seems precious to you at that moment will go lost, meaninglessly. It is predicted anyway, humans are creature, which is unreliable and unworthy, including me. I enjoyed my weeks before the exams, without the need to see low-life creatures. Weeks during exams was, busy, hectic, stuffing all informations to that resisting brain of mine. It is sad to say, i resisted stuff hat i dislike so much that i rather die than doing it sometimes, example, my future.

Thinking of what will i do in the future gives me the chill. Talks and seminars by top BIG FOUR accounting firms make me hate to step into my going-to-be future. Consistent talking by various people, anticipating my future is even scarier. Judging me on what will happen to me for the rest of my life is drowning me now. Well, i didn't resist that much before hand, it wasn't that critical. I always thought that since i can't have my way to my dreams so easily, i would settle down to anything, that i have been offered to. So during my first week of degree i was frustrated, because most subject lecturers were saying, if you do not have the passion of doing it, you will not make it. (It strikes me the most okay, you know why)

It's the end of my first year now. What i felt is ONLY the feeling of disgust, and more fear to the future. Resist. Disgust of people who will call themselves as professionals, disgust of people in the world that will never succeed if going through the normal way. Fear of my future, fear that in no time i would be the same with the people i once hated, fear that my whole life i would be stuck forever where not even the tip of my fingers can reach my dreams anymore. For all this i resist. I tried not to listen anything related to my going-to-be future, tried not to get involved in anything, for ONE SINGLE reason: since i'm dying soon, might as well, use the rest of the time i have now, not to get involve with it. (Trust me, it's hard; like when you are in a maze, you can never get out)

 

 

Now first year is over, and i'm having a four months plus holiday. I will call it - the Break to Dream months. Main purpose for these months is not to have a pleasant holiday to enjoy, but a real FIGHT. I'm still thinking of every plan i could, and will still continue to think. Anyone with a perfect workable plan pls inform me. I can't hold any longer. I do believe there's no dream will work without hard work, and of course, luck. So i'm trying me best now, wish me luck.

Anyway, was with akiko yesterday for instrument shopping. Had a pleasant day with her, playing taiko and gachapons, walking around looking stuff. Can't wait to go out more often! Had to breath some nice and fresh air, hahaha...
