'sisters know why you're in the mess you are in'

assalamualaikum blog.

i just got back from shopping for books as souvenirs for my sisters.

no, actually. that's a lie. i just woke up from the nap i took after i went into town to shop for books as souvenirs for my sisters.

i am really broke this year, for some reason. that's fine, Allah has destined my rizq to be that way. the problem comes, though, when it is time for me to go back home. because i do not have enough money to buy my (SIX) sisters their souvenirs.

so when the (ultra geek) Tengku Nadiah Liyana asked me to buy an agatha christie book for her, i suddenly got the idea to buy them cheap secondhand books for gifts. they're all with me with the idea, as i expected them to be (perhaps except for Opie who jokingly asked for a handbag instead; but she then texted me to get a Shakespearre compilation)

After getting their book preferences (i ignored Adik's wishlist kerana semuanya berbahasa Melayu. haih), i now have these in my room:

1. 'Hugo and Josephine' - Maria Gripe
2. A Series of Unfortunate Events : Book 13 - The End - Lemony Snicket
3. Sherlock Holmes : The Complete Illustrated Novels - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
4. Endless Night - Agatha Christie
5. A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
6. Planet Google - Randall Stross
   
7. Dreams from My Father - Barack Obama
   

i am a proud sister to six smart ladies who didn't dissappoint me by saying they want, for example, one of the shopaholic series. i have nothing against bimbo books bc i read them as well, once in a while. i just expect more from mafasynz.

xoxo
