Bookworm

After school, he wandered to the mall and went to the bookstore. He wasn't looking for a specific book, he was there just to browse. His love for books borders on addiction and he spent a little more than 3 hours in the shop. While he was there, he overheard someone saying, "Obama berjaya menjadi Presiden Amerika Syarikat!", and asked himself, how would this affect his life in Malaysia. He left when he remembered the maid has asked him to buy some lemongrass for her and to get it home to her before dinner time. Actually throughout the day, an unsolved math equation during school: "2 times (square root of x) minus square root of (2x+1) = 1" kept appearing in his mind over and over again. He wondered who he could ask to help him solve it. On the way out of the mall, he noticed a laptop advertisement asking, "Are you mobile enough to work anywhere?". "My mum is, her blackberry never leaves her side", he burst out suddenly, startling the people around him, who thought he was crazy to be talking aloud to himself.
