Buy, rent, or steal?

I saw this ad in The Star (9th April), first couple of pages about a book sale. I tried to find it in today's, but tarak. Got lazy to look into Friday's one as well.

They sell books (fiction) at RM12 for 5. SO CHEAP. Non-fiction sold at RM 1 something onwards.

I was so tempted to get me some, but I won't be around when it starts. Then I start wondering why I like to buy books.

I like reading them, that's for sure. But I wouldn't know what to do with them after I'm done. The books that I bought in Perth are all up for sale in the second hand book shop. And the return isn't all that great. Even worse if I sell them in SS2.

So I thought, maybe I'm better off renting books. But then can be quite expensive lo. RM5-6 for new books leh. Those really old ones, looks old and is old, are for RM 1.50-3.

But then again, I've been reading books on my phone using java. I get my stash from mobile9. It's pretty okay except the words and some punctuation appears differently, or not there at all. So there's some guess work involved.

All the renting thoughts made me wonder if it would be wise to live with your mother and save enough to pay the downpayment of a house, or rent some place and save for the downpayment. Hehe. No brainer la, I guess.

OmG! I haven't eat tom yum yee mee yet!!! My short stay ends to more ohhhh!!
