$3 books from carrefour @ plaza singapore

yesterday took bus service 190 to scotts road. walked to tanglin mall, past tanglin shopping centre and forum galeria. walked back and headed for plaza singapura (ps). huge crowds everywhere, which is normal on a saturday evening.

browsed in a few shops but did not buy anything until i got to the bargain section in carrefour hypermarket. new books, some very thick ones and some hard cover ones were going for $3 a book.

there were titles like 'the princess diary' which ida and ivy bought some years ago for more than $10 each. also on sale were computer books and non fiction tales like 'the history of singapore'. some volumes by stephen king were really thick. if you go by the amount of paper used, it must be worth the money.

instead of buying those that i have mentioned, i bought titles like 'the song of silver frond' by catherine lim, 'with love & irony' by lin yutang, 'china's sorrow' by lynn pan, 'a place of hiding' by elizabeth george and 'ready or not' by chris manby.
