Blessed Mistake


ok.. story time, after watching Chronicles of Narnia, i was very interested in getting the soundtrack. then, last sunday's local paper had offered a 15% disc. on the cd frm Rock Corner. and coincidentaly my mom and sis wanted to go to The Curve (shopping complex)that very same Sunday. so i thought, oh! wat good luck!! so, i happily went with them. But, after searching for the disc high and low i couldn't find it in the store, asked the assistant there for help. He was a very cheerful chap and had seemed very confident that he has that cd.

However, after flipping several cds, he asked his superior about it, the words stung my shopping spirit, "Sold the last one aldy!!" sob!! then,,, i walked to Popular bookstore in a nearby shopping mall (with very sad violin song playing in head) then, i thought try my luck lar.. flipped a few cds.. whoila!! two different cds of Chronicles of Narnia,, jeng jeng jeng!!! Nancy Drew thinking cap on.. it turns out that the one introduced by the paper is "Music Inspired BY"... the one i wanted was the soundtrack.so, i happily bought that soundtrack and felt very blessed that the Rock Corner couldn't sell me that cd which i had mistakenly wanted. also, i enjoyed the 10% disc. given by Popular coz i have the membership card.

Popular added my joy of shopping when i spotted that they were selling 'The Harmony Silk Factory" by Tash Aw - the first malaysian writer who won the Whitbread First Novel Award. ok.. end of my long winded story..and we live happily ever after..
