Big Bad Wolf Book Sale - November 2009

I was the few lucky ones get invited to the Big Bad Wolf Book sale preview (bless the soul which can't make it and give me the chance to attend it). This time around, the sale is being held at Amcorp Mall at level 3 opposite McD, from 10am till 9pm. The sale is on from 26^th Nov – 2^nd Dec.

I went there with my dad and manage to grab myself 30 plus books! Oh well, need to re-arrange my bookshelf, kind of messy with all the books mixed-up in the shelf.

I drop by the place again on Friday, gosh! It’s totally packed! People are queuing to just get into the premise. I feel so lucky to be able to go to their preview earlier! THANKS GUYS! APPRECIATE IT A LOT!

Below are the books which I got from the sale.

Phew! There you go all the books which I manage to get my hand on during the sale!

Credit Card...Dilemma!

It’s nothing to do with the current budget by our gahmen to impose RM50 per primary credit card. I don’t really care about it! Why? Because, I don’t own one. I purchased my laptop on Oct 3, 2009, loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium (it sucks big time, seriously driving me mad at times), so that’ll be entitled me for free upgrade Windows 7. To get the free upgrade I need to pay a small handling fee to Microsoft. When, I tried to order the upgrade kit through the HP (Btw, mine is HP DV6 lappie =D) website, there is only one payment option provided to be able to place the order, which is by Credit Card!

Now, HP has a free upgrade promotion for those purchasing their notebooks & desktops from Oct 12, 2009 till Dec, 2009. When I called their support staff they told I might me be eligible for this promotion but on the second thought they asked to place the order through their website & borrow the credit card from my parents to make the payment! The problem is none of my family members own 1! (Yeah, we are a bunch of people who thinks CREDIT CARDS are big culprits in producing spendthrifts!) Anyway, to cut long the story short, at the end of the conversation I found no solution to my problem.

I’ve emailed HP regarding other payment options, just received an apology email today that it’ll take them another 10 days to get back to me regarding my enquiry (Ouch!).

So till then guess I have to keep up with Vista!
