A book haul from Experal Bookstore Malaysia

I have been shopping across Instagram with my imaginary cart picking out nice book titles. The decision to actually click the purchase button is based on the comments on the recommended book post, the price alongside my budget and the cover of the book. Despite the famous ‘Do not judge a book by its cover’ – I still do that most of the time.

I buy my physical books from Experal because they have the book’s synopsis in the product description. It saves me time from having to search for it on another website. Plus, they tend to send my books in perfect condition and make it clear on some books that it is a ‘pre-order’. Thus, as a buyer, I would understand that my books will not be shipped immediately. Even then I can wait. It is not a problem on my part. I can have delayed gratification.

This was my recent haul of RM 886.69 including the shipping fee. It makes me want to have a book-reading party with Kim Namjoon already.

Merdeka shopping spree

Mini head towels & face mask

I thought I should make the trip worthy by ordering both face mask sheets and hair caps. . I have tried the Bioaqua Ice Mask but have yet to try the Vitamin C type. The caps were cute and I got them in 3 colours which are purple, deep pink and pink. My daughter loved her pink one.

Price: RM2.89/ea for caps and RM0.50/ea for masks

Psychology books

I bought two Islamic psychology books from IIUMPRESS. I thought that I’d like to bring them to the conference and get Dr Alizi’s autograph. It did not happen. I did enjoy his topic though. It was very enlightening. The total purchase was RM71.40

GUMASH

For Gumash, I got a different colour this time. This is one of the henna-based hair dyes for women. Going for a dark brown instead of a copper head. This one was priced at RM54.80.

Whizzfizz

This local product exceeded my expectation. It is a bubble bath essence. It produced a lot of bubbles in the tub. The type where it will stay above your boobs for a long time when you’re soaking. I bought it with me during my trip to Kuching the other day. Each bottle costs RM29.35 and I bought all 3 variants.

My bathroom is like a spa.. yeay

Foot bucket spa

I also bought a foot bucket spa for RM209.90 and it was so worth it. I even received a lot of free herbal powder. Basically, you fill up the collapsible bucket with normal temp water, the machine will heat it up to the desired temperature and just put whatever herbal powder of your choice inside. At the bottom of the bucket, there are rollers to massage your tired feet. You can put on the timer as well. I usually do one for about 20 minutes.

This concludes my Shopee haul for Merdeka day !
