Right. I know this is a children's book. Please don't laugh at me. But sometimes when I'm super duper bored, I just read whatever I can get my hands on. Surprisingly, these books didn't let me down.
So yeah, I AM one of those "reluctant readers" of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. But after reading one book - The Last Straw - I sort of liked reading it and the "reluctant" is slashed off the sentence. I finished one book in a day, in less than 3 hours actually. And although I would like to deny this because of my matured-age (LOL!), most of the things Greg Heffley (the main character) experienced and questions are pretty much the same things I kept asking myself in my younger days. So, how can I hate this book since it reminds me of myself - right?
Now, did you know that they made a movie out of this book? No? Visit here. Now this is something I would love to watch. Hopefully it'll be as funny and adorable as the book itself.
In truth, I didn't plan to buy these books at all, but one day I was at a flea market and I saw that one book costs RM18 when the original price (if you go to MPH or Popular Bookstores) would cost around RM29.90 or RM24.90 the cheapest. Plus, they're all brand new and still wrapped in plastic. So, instead of finishing Mary Buffett's book on investments (I will still have to get on with that one of these days) during my "recuperating" time, I decided to buy and read these books instead, after hearing all the hype it's caused and see for myself if they are any good.
And because I bought four at one time, the dear seller sold them to me for RM60 only. Mathematically, that means RM15 per book. What a bargain right? The seller also gave me his phone number and offered to get me any other books that I might be looking for at a cheaper price. How cool is that?
Seller : Can I know your name?Me : I'm Bella.Seller : No kidding. I'm Edward.Me : HAHA. Seriously?Seller : Yeah seriously. Have you read Twilight?
That was funny. He'd help me coz he's Edward and I'm Bella. LOL!!

Hahahahahaha!! THAT was funny!!! What are the odds eh, Edward and Bella??
I've seen the books, but because of my "matured" age also, I decided to skip it. But I HAVE seen the movie.. don't know if it lives up to the books.. but it was a pretty cute movie! Not great GREAT but decently cute! :D
Bella.... not matured.. ma-tua... lol!!!hehhe
heheheh so cute the seller ah... hitting on you is it? heheh
HEHE.. Alamak, so obvious the TUA!! Huhu.. :-P
I think he was la. Suddenly went into a conversation about Twilight la and the movie la and if I like vampire stories la. LOL :-P
Yeah. Chinese guys don't really use the name Edward kan? It's quite uncommon..
Oh ye ke? You watched the movie dy? Ada mana2 can download ke? Since you said not great GREAT.. :-P
HAHA.. Maybe the name thing gives a way to get the ball rolling between us two. I notice the other people buying books are so unfriendly. Don't know why.. *DONT_KNOW*
Yeah.. Coincidence indeed! :-D
Yeah, I love to read so I hentam saje la baca whatever. LOL.. Though am not much of a fan of detective stories. :-P
HEHE.. Yeah, it's an easy read that don't give you headaches right? Maybe I should buy some as gifts for my nieces and nephews. I'm sure they'll enjoy these books..
HEHE.. He's friendly so nothing wrong to just layan what he say la kan? :-D
HEHE.. Aww hope you'll be able to find some time to do it again.. I have a bad habit that when I read a book I really love I just don't get up and finish it. So you can imagine those Stephen King books yang tebal gila tu I'll just lie down and read read from matahari ada sampai tak ada pun I tak sedar.
And that's why I rabun. :( :'(
HAHA.. I think so too! LOL!.. Ala, he's just being friendly. Must be bored to sit at a flea market and then other customers so unfriendly..
Marzie FC! Woohoo
