Currently I'm reading a book entitled 'Honk If You're Malaysian.'
I really love reading the book. what can i say about the author is i think she is a great observer. she observes many things that mostly happened around us. that inspired her to write this book. though sometimes its a little bit sacarstic but its trueeeeee what she said.
It has 57 stories. short stories. not a long and too wordy. bukan kisah sang kancil dan buaya ataupun kisah2 politik. its more like what really happen in our society but we do not realize it. each story adelah dalam around 1-3 pages. its a good starts for me yang malas nak membaca buku yang tebal.
one of my fav part is how to be savy shoppers. i akan re-tell with my own words. i think what Lydia Teh said is so trueee.
Do you love to shop? Are you one of those savy shoppers? Take note here. Either you gonna say, "Its okay, i can wait for mega sale if i wanna buy make ups/clothing items at lower prices." or "I don't really shops when i go to mall. i prefer window shopping." Alright, you can wear make up, read favourite books, listen to good music, showing off branded clothing items, have varities of food for lunch and try real good massage. yes you can. you can have all these wonderful things without using your money at all. so here it goes;
Wear make-up;
Cosmetic store adalah the first place you need to go. every cosmetic store mesti ada tester. start dari lipstick, eye shadow, compact power sampailah ke pemerah pipi. you can test by putting all of these on you face. in a minute, you will look like a celebrity. Instead of putting on make up je, if you pass by the perfume shop, you pun boleh jadi wongi2. even you dah almost 2 days tak mandi.
Read favourite books;
Thicker book with hardcover memang expensive. the costs can reach up to hundreds over. so grab your fav book, choose the most comfortable place, sit and enjoy reading. unless it stated there, "No free reading." But most big bookstores even provide u with tiny stools. so membaca itu jambatan ilmu kan kawan-kawan?
Listen to good music;
Your fav singer baru je released new album. so lets off to music store. kadang-kadang mereka akan mainkan lagu-lagu dari album baru daripada artis fav u tu. tak payah beli album bukan?so, just relax and enjoy your great time there. perhaps you can even sing along. show your great voice. no need to book a place for you to karaoke,no more. bukan itu sahaja sometimes, they are playing movies instead of songs. so again, why waste money to but movie ticket when you can watch the movie for free?
Showing off branded clothing items;
ZARA, MNG, GUESS, BURBERRY, KATE SPADE, FENDI, VICTORIA SECRET. all of them are very expensive. clothing items doesn't mean baju seluar dress, baju dalam, g-string je. handbag, kasut, sunglass semua pun consider sebagai clothing items. grab 3 pieces of any clothing items into the fitting room. cube try test pakai. if this look good on you, snap2 the picture. kalau baju you ade tulisan like 'MNG" or I love GUESS besar2 dan bling2 lagi bagus. so that people can see you're wearing an expensive shirt kot. kau hado? the last step is.........post it on facebook/twitter/blog. post 2-3 gambaq pun takpe. kalau dekat fesbuk mesti dengan caption ini, "Should i buy this ZARA's Harem Pants?" and another post with, "Among these GUESS dresses, which one you would buy if you were me?Reply asap"
Have varieties of food for lunch;
Yes, its so true. For free lagi. some mall ade carrefour, jusco, cold storage, giant ke sizuka ke apa. tak kisahlah. so you just enter the food/grocery section. jangan lupe ambik bakul sekali. as if you are going to spend all the money in your imitation Bonia's handbag tu dekat sini. normally dorang akan ada small booth. contoh, jenama Megi Kerinting baru je released new perasa. Its megi kerinting perisa itik. dia akan bagi you rasa for free. this is your great chance. you can say like, " Why are you giving me so little? Then how to taste? You'll get dabel and as if its your main course of the day!
Then jalan lagi to the biscuit/cereal section. another booth or the person is asking u to try new biscuit. try all the flavours. To satisy your rumbling stomach you can say like this, "I do not know to choose either chocolate or stawberry flavour. can you give me another try please?" and lepas tu bagi pujian yang melampau2 bahawa biskut tu terlalu sedap sehingga certain people can inzal. and you take 10 bungkus/tin biskut. put in ur basket. when you turn to another section, return it. yes, amalkan take and return. Then as for drink don't worry, if ade free trial of food, there should be free trial of drinks. Lastly, put back your empty shopping basket to its original place. or just leave it on the floor. walk straight and keluar dari situ.
Try real good massage;
After a long hours walking around at the mall, its time for you to rest. certain stores they are promoting their massage chair. they'll invite/ask you to try out how good and effective their product is. so why not? at least you can sit back and day dream for a few minutes before you going back home.
Saving tak? saving kan? tak guna duit bila you dekat mall. don't be afraid. you are not doing anything wrong. you tak curi apa2 kan. if you have at least one of this simpton, you are a savy shopper. don't worry i pun pernah terbuat salah satu dari ni. lol.
So ada banyak lagi interesting stories. but i can't reveal everything here. i'm, just sharing my fav part of the book so far. jadi u guys beli la jugak. its worth to buy seriously. eh eh blog i dah jadi blog review buku. lepas ni i nak review buku, Malam Pertama. ehhhh Malam Pertama Di Alam Kubur.
