Shopping Spree!

BREAKFAST: Ray picked me up from home today at 10 am and together we went to One One Cafe at Taman Danau Desa to enjoy dim sum (Address: 11, Plaza Danau 2, Jalan 5/109F, Off Jalan Klang Lama, Taman Danau Desa, 58100 Kuala Lumpur; Telephone: +603 7983 1686). We ordered so much that we packed our extras: noodles (Ray's) and fish porridge (mine) for later. Thanks for the super filling and yummy breakfast, sir! Too bad, though, I did not take any photos, but I can tell you this: the dim sum is great and the ambience is nice!

SHOPPING SPREE: Before I show you what Ray bought (it's a HUGE purchase, by the way), I finally went to BookXcess (Address: L3-57 Amcorp Mall, 18 Jalan Persiaran Barat, 46050 Petaling Jaya, Selangor; Telephone: +603 7956 0455) and did some serious damage to my purse. The new books I bought ranged from MYR9.90 (~US$3, paperbacks) to MYR34.90 (~US$8, hardcovers).

I also became their member. Here's how: Just spend MYR100 or more in a single receipt and you'll automatically be a member for 3 years, and it's free! Members enjoy a discount of 5% for purchases of MYR50 and above; 10% for MYR150 and above. Not only are the books cheap, there's also MORE savings from the discounts! BookXcess accepts credit card purchases with no minimum amount imposed. Do check out their booklist to see available titles.

Finalizing the deal. That's Mr Jason Chew (left) of J One Camera Service. J One offers competitive pricing.
