Magazine Shops

I love going to a magazine shop. Even if I'm not getting anything from there. If I walk past one, if I'm not in a hurry, I would usually stop by and have a look.

I would browse all the shelves/racks that they have there. That's what I did during lunch when I was still working at one of the Big Green Dude's outlet. They have quite a number of magazine shops nearby. And that's when I first dicovered AniWave, a HK anime magazine.

Due to the work load, I would go out for lunch at odd hours and usually alone. And most of the time I would finish my food quite early and ended up with 40 minutes left of my lunch break. That's when I would dropby a magazines shop(s) to browse around.

Usually I would Byrne-steal same game/entertainment/movie mags. Luckily the shop owners didn't mind. I guess it just depends on how you do it. What do I mean by Byrne-stealing? Byrne, referring to John Byrne... a famous comic writer and artist. He considers flipping through a book/comic at the newsstands or a shop as stealing. Hence, us wacky posters of the Spider-Man Messageboard at comicboards.com coined flipping through as "Byrne-stealing".

Aah, good times.

Some of the overseas mags can cost quite a lot. For example, if memory serves. Starburst is around RM 40+. No really a big surprise for me, since I at times would buy (depending on the freebies) Newtype and Animage, in which both might cost RM 35+ each. :P

It seems like magazine shops are mushrooming everywhere. Can one really make a profit out of it? Then there are those who specialises in selling back issues. It just makes me wonder.

How Was Your Christmas?

For me.... kept myself occupied.

Last Thursday had dinner with mj, lynnee and g. Had a blast.

On Sunday, Christmas itself went out with Rach to Mid Valley Megamall. Got her Xmas present, a Lavender scented bear by Russ. It's suppose to have a name, but I forgot. Since she's depressed, thought get her something to cheer her up but she couldn't make up her mind on which bear she wanted. Sigh...

Went out with brother to Sungei Wang/Low Yat Plaza/Berjaya Times Square area to hunt for some games. Lots of people! Almost no place to walk! Since it's a public holiday, school holiday and the sale is still on... no wonder lah! If it gets any more people, I might need to use a katana to hack my way thru.

Suddenly thought of someone to be very VERY cute.

So, how's yours?

Updates:

Dad's back. He had a mild stroke. After staying like, half a day at the observation ward, the doctor thinks he's ok to go home.

He just have to take extra careful about his health. Still, it is quite a shock. When you've got these things, it stays with you for life.

Labels: ,

What a crappy week. Got into trouble at work for someone's fault and now Dad's in hospital for 24 hours observation.

He got up and felt dizzy ever since. Mom and brother sent him to the hospital but wanted me to stay at home.

He Said Open Your Mouth

"AAAAAAAAAAAAOWWWCH!"

Went to the dentist today. Not any other dentist. It's Dr Ch*ng.

Dr. Ch*ng used to have a dental clinic, at the shop lots right behind our house. Ever since I came back from UK, he had moved to God knows where.

Since he moved, I have to visit other dentists which I did not find them comfortable with. Ok, I"ll say it: NOT GOOD. All of them are money faced.

"Must extract them all!! Cha-ching $!"

O__O

Recently he had came back to the neighbourhood for, dunno God knows what or perhaps just a visit; and my parents bump into him. His clinic is now somewhere at Kota Kemuning.

Anway, brother, his business partner (Aireek) and I went there today. We were'nt familiar with the area, but Aireek is. Besides, Aireek wanted to have a dental check up anyway.

Is it my imagination or are all dentists have balding heads? It's not that I want to stereotype them but it seems like all the ones I've met are.

She Asked Me To Stick My Toungue Out

Doc: "Yeap, you're dehydrated."

Was on MC today. Food poisoning. Spent half of the night in the washroom. Not again...

S's ok. Weird, since we had lunch and dinner together yesterday. Apparently food around office area is really not clean and crappy.

Bought the December issue of FHM Malaysia just for the 2006 Callendar. As usual, the actual mag itself is crap. And it actually featured Nita in it. IMO, She shouldn't be in any sort of magazine. Period. :P

Monday is a public holiday for Selangor due to Sultan of Selangor's birthday on next Saturday. Now that's weird. Usually if the week's weekends is a public holiday, the following Monday would be a holiday. But this time, they brought it forward. Gotta work on Monday as I'm supporting the KL users. On the bright side, manager wants me to take 2 days off to clear my leave (haven't touch any of it since renewal of contract) during the Xmas week. Heheheh....

Dad bought me a new belt. Let's see... long rectangle belt with "Crocodile" and it's logo on it. Hmmm, Buaya King? The one I'm currently wearing (not literally wearing right now lah) has been around since secondary school. Bought it from pasar malam. Pretty lasting huh? Though it looked like it's about to break anytime. He shouldn't have bought it cuz I've the Faiz Belt already. :P

Now I'm craving for some kind of drink. Do we still have any of the Tang's orange juice left?

Another Month, Another Report Done.

Did better this time. Less mistakes.

Been pretty busy too because of a new account for our group at the office. More work and just a matter of getting use to it.

The Reason I haven't been blogging that much is that I haven't been feeling expressive. I couldn't let it out... I'm just not in the mood to share my thoughts and feelings.

Weird. You have La Blue Girl but there's no hentai category. Some are pretty unfair. Macross alone could rack you up to 7 titles: MAcross Zero, Macross Plus, Macross 7, SDF Macross, Macross Dynamite 7, Macross 2 and MAcross: Do You Remember Love? So is Gundam.

Must be some sort of conspiracy...:P
