Really thank God for such an awesome unbelievable buy =) $5 each! I had some free time today and decided to take a walk to SunPlaza while it was still raining before I head on to my destination. Yes, there's nothing much you could shop there except for some stationery in Popular. So after I top up on my stationery stuff, I remembered a Christian bookshop nearby. No one would have thought of one to be found in Sembawang right? Heh-
So I made a U-turn to the shop. The books here are unlike the ones you see in church where it has been 'filtered' and are safe for consumption. Just a very different selection of books. But what caught my eye was this section with the tag '$5dollars'. I browse through them hoping to find a good one, but to my disappointment I found none.
Just as I was about to go, my hand reached out to a book unbeknown to me that it was by Lisa Bevere =) I couldn't believe what I saw and thought maybe they have accidentally placed it there. And it was the only piece. I asked the sales lady to confirm and she didn't believe it as well. Heh- She commented it was a very good book and shouldn't be there. She walked away with the book but turn back halfway and said since it's there, she'll give it to me for $5! Alongside that book was another very good book too =D I think she was quite stunt by my discovery. Even when she scanned the price, she was still in disbelief. "See it's $26.90". I just smiled. "Maybe it's the last piece", I said. "It'll only be 20% if it is or even if it's scratch", she said. Heh-
It was only yesterday that I asked one of my new colleague if she could borrow me some of her christian books while we were at the sleeping room. One of the privileges of my job is I get to read my bible or books in the room while the kids are asleep and that is at least for two hours. Surely He did know how much I wanted to buy but is beyond my budget for the month. Amazingly the pages that I flip to in this book which I've bought was something I read in my Bible yesterday and was an answer to one of the verses I was reading. And the two books seems to be the things I'm interested to read on.
I feel so loved. To find a good book to read for the season is to me a happy moment =D
