WTF!!
( i cut all the unimportant bits out.... long article!... important bits are highlighted)
Harry Potter and the ugly price war
KUALA LUMPUR: As avid fans of Harry Potter await the highly-anticipated finale scheduled to be released for sale at 7.01am today, a price war has brought about an unexpected twist – four major bookstore chains have decided to not sell the book.
MPH, Popular, Times and Harris bookstores have decided to withdraw the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novel from their shelves in protest against Tesco and Carrefour's move in selling the novel at a much cheaper price of RM69.90. The retail price of the book is RM109.90.
However, those who had pre-ordered their books will be able to collect them from today.
...
“This means the book will no longer be available at these stores nationwide from tomorrow following the worldwide release and all events related to Harry Potter (from today) will be cancelled,” she said at a press conference yesterday.
......“Avid fans are looking for a magical atmosphere rather than just cheap price,” he said in Singapore yesterday.
Ok.. ask my grandmother.. she thought i was having a heart attack as i lay on the couch screaming...
1. WTF! I was going to MPH!2. WTF! I didnt pre-order!
3. WTF! I hate tesco and carrefour!
4. WTF! Even if i didnt hate tesco and carrefour.. its 9.30am!! HOW!?!!?!

5 minutes later.. Dad called..
Dad : San.. I told you whether you want to pre book you say don't want got discount..
you know surely this sort of thing will happen! See now! you want go tesco or

No I don't want to go Tesco.. I'm a cheapskate but I'm not that much of a cheapskate! I support the original prices and I don't trust those hypermarket people.. what if a page is missing.. or like.. the words aren't clear.. hello!?!?!

Oh.. and everyone.. and i mean EVERYONE.. should go watch trasnformers.. pwooahh.. i wanna go watch again... fantastic movie!!
Oh.. and i have a new addiction...
Sims 2..
ahahhaa.. i know..lame... but seriously..compared to the original sims.. the graphics are sooooo much better... and there are so many added features... shiok..
so this explains why my poor WaRriOrChiC is stuck at lvl 67 while Daniel is busy exploding ninja ladies at the parking lot with fire, Adrian is also exploding said ninja ladies with his demonic holyness and Jensen is beating me...(only maplers will understand)
oh..and also because Im reading... I cant belive Hedwig... Mad-Eye Moody...T_T.. Why Ron? WHY?!?! I cant believe Harry really loves her THAT much... oh Lupin!! Dont goooo!!!!!
