Book Fest Malaysia 2010

We went to KL for few days during the school holiday. The main reason of the KL trip was the Book Fest Malaysia 2010 held in KL Convention Centre. This is the second year I went there. Its a annual book fest event and it is super attractive for book fan like me. We spent the whole day there from 10am to 7pm and resulted to damage of no less than the maximum allowed deduction for tax purpose in our pocket. We have never spent so much for books in one day! And we parked our car at KLCC, which means another about RM30 for the parking fee! We have also never spent so much for parking in our life (excluding monthly parking).

We were so tired by carrying so many bags of books and 2 full backpacks. Me and hubby carried 3 bags of books and 1 backpack each whereas my 2 girls carried 1 lighter bag of books each. It was so crazy! This is a record and I don't think I will spend the same next year (a book fan like me will definitely be going to the Book Fest again next year). I had bought many books including some released in earlier years which I had long wanted to buy. Last year my major spending was in JE's extra practice books for primary 2, story books for the girls, Robin's books and I-Pen. This year lesser extra practice books for JE as the book fest was held in September which is very close to her final exam (end of Sept) as compared to last year book fest which was held much earlier (somewhere in June). My spending this year were in novels, health and cook books for myself, some novels and comics for JE and some story books for JY and JS. Bought a few games too (brain games for the elder girls and jigsaw puzzle for JS).

All in all, the KL trip was spending, spending and spending as what I did was shopping, shopping and shopping. We shopped at 1 Utama, Book Fest@KL Convention Centre, Sunway Pyramid (shopped from 11am till 9pm then only proceed to dinner) and Mid Valley. No major cash outflow yet since we used credit cards. I guess I better be prepared for the expecting high credit card bill.
