~ Chinese World Book Fair...? ~

So here i am, stall keeper for a day. Yes, only just for a day.
Spent 11 hrs standing and looking at strangers looking at books.
Guess what, i'm in the chinese section. With a malaysian company,
that's selling taiwan and china books.

Gees, that doesn't bode so well for a "kan-tang" ( potatoe ) like me.
Filled with so many books that look so interesting but i can't recognise so
many of the words. But i'm glad i'm still able to converse in chinese,
or else i'm really just a white mash potatoe.

Oh yea, let me mention about this good offer. There's books on cooking and
they're going for $4 and $6 for a small or big book. If you buy 3, it'll be $10 and
$15 respectively.

But what's so special about these cooking books? For one they teach you how to make
Dian Xin and BAOS! Also got one on desert! YUMMY. In fact, all the while i was there
i got soooo hungry just looking at the pictures. All look so apettizing! Then there's this
book that teaches you on 35 egg dishes, and another is diff ways of cooking rice, and
there's even those on noodles and pasta! haha... too bad... i couldn't even recognise some
of the ingredients... think i need to bring a dictionary along if i ever want to cook chinese
dishes.

Anyway if there's anyone interested in cooking, and want to try their hand at chinese
crusine, the fair's on til this sunday 10pm. Look out for CITE publishers near the back of
the hall.

And oh, they even have these sex books there, haha so funny... cos when i turn.. it's all words.
ARGH. But funnily, they seemed to have incorporated english words in to the books.
Makes me wonder if they were actually translated from english in the first place.
Then there's this 3 books, each teaching on different things, first one foreplay and all the kissing
techniques and stuff, then another on orgasms and the last on positions.
Haha.. all so interesting, at least they have some english words that i can recognise.
And the pictures they draw are so funny.

Ok time to go... psycho paper on next wed... been reading, but seems like it's not enough.
Still got so much more to read. Time to mug once again...
hopefully 3-4 days is enough for me to prepare for this. Hope to get a B so that i can continue
taking other psychology subs and get a minor.
