I'm wondering if anyone really read my blog.... i'm kinda of missing the tag messages that u guys leave me...... I mean this blog is kind of communication tool. Anyway, can some one just tag me? Just wanna test if it is still working... haha... i sound desperate....

Anyway, i went to Bras Basar Complex yesterday to look for my textbooks for the next Semester (3 weeks away). I used to visit KNowledge Bookstore to purchase my 2nd hand textbooks. Years ago they onli had one stall on level 3. Gradually, they expanded to 2 shops, then 3 shops, then finally 4 shops!!!!!!!!!! (When i visited it 3mths ago) But i think they couldnt manage so many shops and end up selling to some other ppl (I'm guessing they are relatives... cos they looked alike. well all Indians look the same to me... ) Now Knowledge bookstore is left with one shop whlie the remaining 3 is named BOOKPOINT.

Since BOOKPOINT has 3 shops(expected to have wider range of books), i decided to search for my textbooks there. the storekeeper are very friendly and helpful. The moment i stepped into the shop, they came forward asking if i needed any help. All i need is the pass them the book list and they would "dig" out the books that i need. Being a second hand bookstore, dont expect to find all the books u want there. They manage to fing 3 books out of the 6 books i wanted.... Althought some were of earlier edition. Most of their University textbooks are in good condition, selling onli 50% of the original price.
But one good advice: avoid getting textbooks with "medicine or medical" on their title cos it's lot more expensive ... One of my text book was BIOMATERIAL SCIENCE- AN INTRODUCTION TO MATERIALS IN MEDICINE. They are selling it at $80!!!!!!!! Maybe they have this bias thought that medical textboooks are more expensive so they jacked up the price.

At the end of the day, i requested them to reserve the books for me for 3 days while i try to confirm with the lecturers if it's necessary to buy the textbooks. Most prbably to buy the textbook on the electronics which cost $32. Ther are questions in the book for me to practice on and i'm not vert farmilar with electronics. I think my brother can also use that book cos he's taking aerospace electronics in poly. Shall make my way down later to purchase that book.... Give up on the rest cos no questions in the books and just chucks of boring texts, which i dont think i'll read.... haha.. lazy me

GTG....... bye...
