Aye so I did a little splurging ysd, afterall it's the Nation's bdae (Kino has 20% off till 8 Aug which is today! GRAB!)and I got myself a little present to celebrate. The fren, a bookworm, convince me to get the whole set, or so she says: "buying books ain't called splurging" :D so here I went and bought this whole classic set of Paulo Coelho and I saved another 20% on top of the $5 each as compared if I got them separately. WOW!
Thanks Singapore, ur bdae has been super practical!
Then Miraculously, another fren mentioned to me a book on a Muslim survivor story, which I hav been dying to find. I went in Kino not hoping much and abt 45 mins later I emerged victorious, of course after some real treasure hunt and thanks to the fren's help, we went in not knowing the title of the book but still managed to find it. GREAT PAIRWORK obviously with the brains of my fren :D
The book's called "Perilous Journey", it is a fairytale gone wrong, which tells how a Caucasian woman married the man of her dreams, a Malaysian Prince and beared 2 children for him only to find him having relations with Muslim extremists and their marriage crumbles. He confiscates his childdren's passports and forces her to return to the States or rixk having her children and herself killed. Thus begins a court battle between the couple and she taking on this perilous journey, on a secret escape to scale mountains and run towards freedom with her 2 kids.
I'm not sure if u cld still lay ur hands on it cos it seems I got the last copy from Kino, they wld hav to order it if ya want. But no harm trying!
