Don't get fooled~

Just today, I went to the Pesta Buku Antarabangsa held at the Putra World Trade Centre. To my surprise, the whole event was a total failure. At first, I was fooled by the word "antarabangsa" which means international thinking there are books from around the globe that would somehow enlighten me. But, guess what? The publishers are all locals and the books are mostly based on Islamic teachings and our local educational books. It's rather bias, don't you think so? It's even worst when people are fooled by that one word that you placed on the banners along the road. Wouldn't it be disappointing for the visitors who came all the way from Sarawak to attend this exhibition?

Very very disheartening...

I was so hoping to grab so really great books to boost up my maturity so as to look non-child like as well as able to think and act rationally rather than riding a tricycle along the streets of kampar like a little fat ass clown shouting and laughing "wakakakaka!" ... ...

sighs~

I'm complaining all this since it involves the public. Even if there are international books being sold but they have leave early perhaps because people don't seem to read "ang moh" books, but at least put up a notice when they will be leaving. At least, people can save up the petrol, time and money to go somewhere else even syoking than to stuck in the jam and sandwiched in the bustling crowd. It's really tiring!! To makes things more frustrated, I only see Malay books every hall I entered. Look, I'm not discriminating but I just want to point out that if you want to hold a book fair solely for malay and Islamic books, it is important that you state that in the banner... ... Don't cause confusion in the public... ...

p/s: The moral of the lesson is, do not be fooled by the words. Even it's written with something like, sangat lazat..it can turned to be sangat zatla..sounds like jiat lat~~~XD (syok sendiri)
