BOOKFEST 18/8
Went to bookfest at KLCC with Ongong, Feipo and Huisan :D
First time going there by bus, and feipo was like a pro tourguide telling us what to do, which bus to take etc, whereas me and ongong are like tourists, ooh-ing and ahhh-ing over the wonders of the bus(ancient ticket stubs! how interesting!) and simply thrilled to be taking the public bus and walking alone. XD
We took the bus from Suntex, as we(Ongong, me and huisan) went to buy food at 7-11, we missed the bus TWICE. (I was practically laughing my ass off when I was paying at the counter then saw U41(i think) zoom past, twice hahaha. We didn't even bother to run!)
So I asked feipo, "When does the bus come? Every 15 minutes? And why no itu stand de?(where it writes where the bus is heading to)"
Feipo: *deadpan* Oh, the bus can come the next minute or the next hour. And no stand one la ok! Malaysia! "We follow our heart, if I think this bus can reach where I'm going then I board lo!"
Me and Ongong were like, HA WTF THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER HOUR AH??!?
Luckily, the next few minutes a shitty SJ bus stopped, and we hopped in! Although it was dirty and packed like sardines, the aircond was cold enough haha and we got seats!
After talking about Reply 1997(!!!) with Ongong and spazzing over SeoInGuk(me) and Hoya(ongong), plus ooh-ing at how handsome Huisan was, we finally reached Times Square.
Went separate ways(the couple and me+ongong), as we hateee Times Square, me and Ongong went out to have snowflake and shopped at Cotton On Sungei Wang.
Ohmy, that shop is just awesome! We tried on alot of outfits(hey, trying is free! XD) and vowed to bring our parents there to buy for us before we go to Aus.
Later, we walked to Pavilion to meet up with Feipo they all. We were like happy tourists, going into every shop to looksee looksee, and Ongong stopping the shopaholic in me to buy unnecessary stuff like sunglasses and shit. XD
(oh thank god for her, if not I have no money to buy books adi!)
At Pavilion, we bought some yummeh petite pastries and bread from The Loaf and 扮贵妇, which totally failed when ongong's pastry full of gooey chocolate dropped on the table. XD (after looking around to make sure nobody's staring, we then licked the spoon and our fingers full of chocolate) :D
 |
| The lovely pastries, brownie and a peanut brittle cheesecake(with meringue on top!) :D Kinda expensive tho :/ |
 |
| Pfft acting all demure hahaha XD |
Walked to KLCC using the overhead bridge(wah, got aircond summore!) and chatted and had fun exchanging clothings, me wearing feipo's black leather jacket and acting as Dailou, feipo wearing my long blazer as my 'lui', ongong taking my backpack and holding a balloon as a little kiddo and huisan... being a very handsome maid, aka Maria ATM. LOL
 |
| Yay! Happy tourists! |
 |
| I swear if she was a guy I'd totally go seduce her. Ha! |
Took some with feipo, but not in my phone.
OK SO.
At the bookfest! Me and ongong zoomed thru the chinese section, with me buying a Giddens book(omg so nice!) and reached the English section all glossy-eyed. SO MANY BOOKS! :D
I dashed straight to Sophie Kinsella's new book, I've Got Your Number. Okla abit expensive but I bought it anyways! And bought 2 other books which sound nice, Something Borrowed and The Sherlockian. I also got a cool DIY sewing kit(so cute!) and some artcraft supplies.
Ongong at first wanted to buy a recipe book, but then I introduced her Cirque du Freak, saying that it looks nice and totally her genre, so she threw away the recipe book and bought the Cirque du Freak boxset and another book called Fury. :D
 |
| Books that I bought! :D Total more than RM100 T^T |
 |
| The DIY set and the yellow one is an embossing stamp and glue pen! (ribbons bought at Mr DIY) |
I saw manyyy people pulling trolleys and stuffing them with piles and piles books, like no need money liddat hahaha. But it is kinda cheap la (compared to usual) XD
oh and I had to borrow money from Feipo to buy books so pathetic. (and for dinner)
The next level of the Bookfest was all about stationery, CDs and random stuff. Ohgod there were sooooo many craft things, glitter, stickers, sequins, whipple, polymer clay... HEAVEN!
We wanted to buy some craft supplies(3 for RM8! so cheap!) BUT the queue was sooooooo long and we were kinda in a rush so we didn't buy in the end. (turned out ongong was going the next day so I asked her to help me buy Whipple and some crafts! So excited!)
Went to 十号胡同 for dinner, food was nice(actually just like da pai dang, but better environment and cleaner), and ongong kept searching for the wifi password. Pfft instagram addict!
 |
| The yummeh duck rice! :D |
Took the bus home (nearly got on the wrong bus, thanks feipo XD) and end of day! :D
Had lots of fun! :D
(eeks btw the bus back home was so geli *sry not racist ohkay* full of bangladeshies giving us weird stares o.o)
WOAH SUCH A LENGTHY POST! xD
 |
| The finished product! |
Spent like at least 7 hours to sew this thing, until I wanna vomit adi :/
But it is nice la! :D
And finally a random pic of my ribbon collection! :)
They're not prettyyy ribbons, but more like ribbons that I always use~
