Of Murakami and Oracle10G

Haven't written in a while. Lots of things happened during that time. Where should I begin? Well, on Tuesday and Wednesday, I attended a seminar entitled Oracle Database 10G, New Features Overview. It was educational, to say the least. But two days wasn't enough. Even for an overview, it wasn't enough. Have to go for the real course.

Am still reading Mr King's Desperation and it is a seriously good book, although I still haven't finished it yet. Went to One Utama the other day. And went into MPH. Was looking for Mr Murakami's books. And only saw a meagre collection of his books. Was so dissappointed. So I went to the customer service centre and asked about that. And she said that that was all they had. She even checked the other outlets, but to no avail. Shucks, man.

So, went to Kinokuniya a few days back, thought of buying one of Mr Murakami's books. Thought of getting A Wild Sheep Chase. But lo and behold, the book wasn't there. It was gone. Didn't bother to go to customer service. So, went out of Kinokuniya empty handed.

But I still didn't give up, at Amcorp Mall, went to Pay Less Books and another bookshop. They didn't have that book too. Actually, they didn't have any of Mr Murakami's books. Will still be searching for it.

Am not in the best of moods, at the moment. And haven't a clue why. Let me think. Hmmm. Nope, still no clue. Maybe I'll be ok later today. Hope so. Am not in the mood to be not in the mood.
