Popular Book Fair 2014 - BookFest Malaysia, KLCC

The annual popular book fair is here again!

Still thinking whether to go or not, 

since I've already hoarded quite some books from various book fairs 

this year. Hmmm....

For those who's going, here's information on the Popular BookFest 2014.

When?

BookFest @ Malaysia 2014 officially launches on 25 July 2014. The exhibition will open from 10 am to 10 pm daily starting from 26 July till 3 August 2014.

How much is the entrance fee? 

Admission is RM 2.50 per ticket.

Where is the venue?

* Tips for first timers :) 

1. Bring light food and drinks to avoid going in and out of the hall

2. Carry a trolley or luggage bag if you intend to get LOTS of books

3. If you're travelling light, take the LRT to avoid long queue and looking for parkings.

Happy Reading!~

Watching Putrajaya International Fireworks 2013

Please click on the image to enjoy a bigger view of the magnificent firework ^^

This is my first time watching the Putrajaya International Fireworks.

The fireworks display on each day were presented by different countries.

The one I watched was by China. Here's more details on the event.

Assuming the fireworks start at 8pm, we went early to get a good spot, 

only to find out later that it starts at 10pm. >o<

Temporary toilets set up beside the Precinct 4 roundabout

Finally, the long awaited fireworks. Yayy!~

The whole firework display lasted for around an hour, totally worth the wait!! :)
