finally...my harry potter and the deathly hallows albeit at a more expensive price ;(
mph did not announce any refund for their customers who have preordered so i still had to get the book. popular announced that they would give a refund to customers who felt their price was too high as reported in the chinese daily.
so what did i get for my 109.90? the paper bag, mug and the book. cheh!!! kinokuniya gave away quil writing pen with every purchase and 30% discount i think. borders also have discounts for early birds.
i definitely was not one of the early birds if mph had anything on at all. i only collected my book at 3p.m. and i did not even do it personally. i was in the car, and brother dashed in to collect the book. then less than 3 minutes, he was out again with the bag while my car had only managed to inch less than a few feet. haha.he said there was no queue at all and there was still a big pile of books waiting to be collected. i wonder how much loss mph and the other 3 bookstores which did not sell the book today incur. it is their principle lah to stand by what they have decided but tesco and carrefour are the ones laughing to the bank now. someone who did her shopping at 101 mall today saw long queues at tesco and everyone coming out with a copy. i got rm50 sponsorship to buy the book...belated birthday gift. so at least i dun feel so 'dumb' for getting the book at the full price.
will start reading after this and i hope it is not going to disappoint like the last book. it is not as thick to begin with, so will be able to finish faster.
good night for now. the more-than-RM100 book is awaiting.

Wizard of Hogwarts vs Wizard of Jurong. I was in singapore for the last 2 wks and they released 2 so called high profile books. One is we know what and the other is a biography of Goh Keng Swee, the former deputy PM of singapore. He is also credited as the economic czar of Singapore. The former was selling like hotcakes, while the second....SIGH. Its downright pathetic and unacceptable.
well, maybe mr goh will need a magic wand too to wrangle all the attention to his book. well, what to do.. u have aspiring wizards and witches and death eaters all wanting to get a piece of the book but there are not enuf aspiring economists out there.
p/s: i got my cash vouchers from mph...i am smiling again ;)
