The Trip to Kinokuniya

i would like to share my experience on a brief trip i made to KLCC last saturday.. ( i saw nasha aziz a day before she got herself engaged)

Jalan punya jalan.. maarop nak pergi Kinokuniya sbb nak carik mags..i have no problem with that.. mmg lama tak pergi sana pon..so off we go to kinokuniya.. sampai sana i saw the normal security people clad in brown and black.. they must be Nepalese.. siap pakai celak lagi hehehe...not very tall.. fair... our book stores ambik Nepalese as security officers..sedey nya..

children running around..almaklumla cuti sekolah...

i went my own way.. a friend suggested a book to read.. THE WORLD IS FLAT so bolehla take this oppurtunity to look for the book.. but i didn't. as i walk deeper into the store.. something striking struck me..yang ramai kat situ chinese..mana orang melayu? mana anak-anak orang melayu? i saw a few caucasions, a few japanese but the rest....

then it struck me.. maybe Bujang Senang is still showing.. lol. KAt TGV bukan main ramai lagi orang Melayu.. youngsters, parents, orang tua orang muda...tapi kenapa dalam kinokuniya tak ramai..? lets put aside the fact that it was a skool holiday, parking hunting in KLCC was madness.. gaji blom masuk lagi.. but i remembered the thinking not seeing many Malays in BOrders and Popular too!

why is this happening?

1. no interest?
2. others are more intersting?
3. availability of internet?
4. availability of e-book?
5. books/ material are too expensive?

lets take me as a case study:
salary: 2000/- car - 543
petrol - 200 (minimum)
insurance - 300
ASB - 350
rental - 150
mobile - 100
mom/dad - 200
JPA loan - 157

so that leaves me with how much?
lets say i wanna get a book from kinokuniya a really good one.. a best seller its RM39.90 bundarkan kepada puluh terhampir..RM 40. that's just too expensive to me..

i left kinokuniya without buying anything.. maarop pon tak beli apa2...hehehehhee
