Popular Bookfest '11 27/8 - 4/9

So after 3 years of wishing to go to the Bookfest, i finally made it this year! I had been pretty excited about it ever i saw banners being put up at the Convention Centre when i go to work. So yesterday, Aug 27th is its first day and i was working as well, so i went after work and lunch.

Was surpised at how big the event is when i see so many people at the centre, even more than the time i went to the PC Fair some weeks back. The queue at the English Pavilion ticket counter along spoke lengths at how big this is. For me i think this is a good sign that still alot of people live to read here!

Without further ado, here's some pics i took:

I went a round throughout the English and Chinese Pavilions before starting to really look at books. I had a few books in mind already that i want to buy, that and i'm continuously looking for good books at a great bargain. And what bargains they have at the fest! Most of them are slashed by more than 70%, so previously unaffordable books are affordable now xD

Because of that, i went on a book shopping spree, and got myself these:

That's alot right! The most books i ever bought in one go. Normally these will cost me about RM400++...but i got them at more than 50% less in total xD

I know i know....i said i wanted to save for a camera by the end of the year...but if you know me, i love books and reading just about as much as i do with photography. The common thing (and also the difference) is that, i was never really able to afford books even though i love them. With this bookfest, i think it's logical to spend all on books just once a year right? And everything is at bargain price! Still a fair decision to me.

Just abit headache how am i gonna drag all these books back with me home when i do go home soon...sigh. The weight! >___<
