Yesterday, I went to Queensbay mall with my old pals planning to watch 'Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief', heard it was quite a show. But unfortunately the queue was long and even for the food & beverage, all we can see was a never ending line. Since I have low measure of patient capacity, I decided to settle my dinner on Siam Express which I have many regrets walking in the restaurant :(
After the unsatisfactory meal, I continue to hunt my vampire collection at Borders bookstore. Most of the items there were stickered with 50% tag, I swore I was so happy for able to get my all four vampire novels on unbelievable discounted prices! The moment I stepped in the front counter I knew something was wrong. The girl explained that for the book with sticker, customer get to enjoy 50% off on the 2nd purchased item, NOT half-price for every book with the sticker on! Though it was a nicer way of saying this but I'm guessing that bitch was having this on her mind "Hak! Gotcha sucker! "
After I walked out the store, the big red sign on the wall caught my eyes again "buy 1 get 1", underneath it was a ten times bigger "50% off" sign. By then I only realized it was one complete sentence and should be interpreted as "buy 1, get 1 50% off"
The way they juxtaposing the word and manipulate the font is confusing. Why don't they just name it 50% on 2nd purchase? W-H-Y? Because these are the real business strategy, the way they attract more and more customers, in which I happen to be one >< But honestly, I would get the books even without the special offer. I seriously have a strong vampire obsession.
Anyway, I still got the books with reasonable price. All four for a total of 102.60 Ringgit Malaysia wuhu~
My latest collection:
Vampire Academy
Frostbite
Evermore
Blue Moon
These are all great titles, can't wait to dig in right away. Right now, I'm reading The Immortals, Evermore by Alyson Noel. This was addictive as I read more of it, can't wait to see what happen next. =)
