Chiconomics.
Just the other day as me and Jo were attempting to kill time before lunch, we walked into Times bookstore..
As I was browsing the books on offer, he exclaimed that I can choose any book in the store I want, and he'd get it for me.. Hee.
I've been wanting to add new books to my collection, so obviously I was beyond happy to hear this! :-D
Until of course, he had to rain on my parade by adding one condition to the offer.
"...but it can't be chic lit."
WHAT??
"It's time you started reading serious books."
Boo. Boooo.
I'm guessing a book on paper craft or "Fabulous Cakes & Desserts" doesn't count as serious reading material either... *sigh*
As he made his way to the counter to make his purchase, I walked out of the store empty-handed. How saddd. =(
* * * * *
Today, we went into Times bookstore again. I wondered if his lil "offer" was still on, and lucky for me it still was! :-D
Browseddd some more and no matter howww I tried, there's just no attraction whatsoever between Zizi and "serious books". Hmph.
Until... *jeng jenggg* I saw this:
Attention grabbing title .. check!
Cute, chic-lit like cover .. check!
Pretty illustration/visuals .. check!
Usage of the colour PINK .. check!
(bonus points for combining it with GREEN!!)
..and most importantly, it's about Economics! Definitely gets a nod of approval from Jo.
Score!!!
But, I didn't get it.
Why?
Because I'm attempting to take steps to become a smart spender, just as the book suggests. LOL
Now that I've done some research and read some reviews, I've made the decision to get it.
My Papa will be prouddd of his lil girl, no?
;-)
Here's to hoping Jo's offer is still on! Hahah
Xoxo,
