BookXcess - I came, I Grab, I Bought ! - Guilty Guilty Guilty!!!



I am guilty again. Never put me in a book shop like BookXcess...I will go broke :p And I was up in KL with Jo to hand in some forms for her visas and with some extra time, we hopped onto the LRT to Taman Jaya and straight to AmCorps Mall - BookXcess and gosh all those cookbooks can really make me go gaga. I saw, I grab and I bought 2.  Told you I just can't resist a good cookbook.  Jo , of course is in heaven and I told her this " gal, grab what you want and don't browse...coz we have just an hour before we have to leave the place " 
And guess who is the one who don't want to leave the place.....

Me....yup...me and my weakness for all these cookbook and they were so cheap...I want to move to KL!!!! Anyway I grabbed two good cookbooks and I went home so happy . We went off to KLCC to meet up with Piggy boy . While waiting we had some photoshooting with our new babies LOL! Have a look at how happy Jo was and I took the opportunity to ask  blackmail her to pose for me with my new book...haha needless to say I got what I wanted and afterwhich I will  blackmail  ask sweetly my Josh to pose with my new book ...( this was a bet between Jo and myself ) She said " this cool guy will not hold your book for you " and I proved her WRONG ! He did  it for me and at the KLCC food court too!!! Hahahaha...I won and I have my book with him in a picture. Crazy a not this Momsie. Anyway who cares I had my fun with my two Piggies and it was a day I will treasure forever. They are growing older each day and they will not have time for me later in their working lives so I better spend more time with them now as much as I can. :)))



all these are to die for...:p



new japanese cookbook..the famos Yo Sushi



Jo and all her new books...see how happy she is



this cool guy agreed to pose for me...hahaha I won the bet...

A day in my Life that I treasure most...
