hey, i’m back!
something interesting happened last weekend. i thought i must share it since someone did me a favour for that interesting encounter of mine. here it goes:
i met up with a good fren of mine last weekend. she was late and didnt want any lunch so i went ahead with my favourite chicken rice at Far East Plaza. Yummmy! so i was walking around to this 2nd hand book store. some of the books caught my attention as i have them at home but not read yet ;-). i went in, this particular book that a lady was holding onto caught my attention!
it was “The Secret” book … she was flipping through it and she sensed my interest so she passed the book to me. I ‘ve watched the secret dvd and have even uploaded its full version of this film on this blog i think at least a mth ago.
(searched for it if you r keen; that post is my highest page view so far)
it took me a good 5 minute to decide if i want to read that book since i’ve already watched a lil’ of the film. well, in the end, i decide to buy it. the paying process is interesting. it costs me $22 for that book. btw, this book though 2nd hand is in real good condition! 9.5/10! love it.
being someone who usually pays my purchases with cards, i don’t bring much cash with me. that shop didnt have card facility for payment so i was forced to gathered all my “wealth” from my wallet. i had only $20 left after lunch and i offered the boss then he asked for more, coins also all right. so in the end, i paid him a total of $20.90. he being a nice man, didnt say much except to offer me his namecard.
i guess the best way to appreciate this kind gesture is to get more people to know of his place? some of you might already know this store perhaps. here it is:
ANA BOOK STORE
FAR EAST PLAZA #05-01
14 SCOTTS RD
SINGAPORE 228213
TEL 67372385
well, i completed “the secret” book in a total of about 4hours for a 100++pages book. it’s a feat for me! yes frankly, cos my usual time for this no. of pages will be probably 30 days of 30 minutes each! 900 minutes = 15 hours! some of you might wonder what’s the big deal. Well, the faster i finish the book, the faster my other interested frens can get hold of it! haha…. in fact i got a queue of almost 10 people wanting to borrow the book.
all right, i would like to summarize one main thing i pick up from this book:
Think of what you want ALWAYS..
btw, i understand that some of you are living out of Singapore, if you are interested to get a copy, it’s easily available in amazon.com i’ve placed the direct link to the book at the top of my blog under ” instant lifestyles”
Let me know your thoughts if you have read the book or some comments about the book. in fact, i’ve created a blog solely on “reporting” my personal experiences as well as my friends. feel free to drop your story here
