Open to kids age 7 – 9 years old and 10 – 12 years old.

TV hosts Angel Wong Chui Ling gives the low down on KL’s finest dining restaurants in Tastefully Chic. Priced at RM29.90, the book covers all different cuisines, from Chinese to Croatian.

Change is often difficult because our mind is ruled by two different systems – the rational mind and the emotional mind – both competing for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body, the emotional mind wants the double cheeseburger that comes with fries and a large sugar-filled carbonate drink. This tension makes change seem impossible , but if it is overcome, change can come quickly.

Here’s an excerpt of what the book has to offer.

Book lovers rejoice! It’s time to stock up your library as MPH Bookstores hold its annual MPH Merdeka Sale that started on the eve of Independence Day and will end on 5 Sept.

Once again, the venue will be at Dewan D’Kelana, where the Kelana Jaya Stadium and a public swimming pool are located nearby. At a time when cost of living is fast rising, what can you buy for RM2? Well, for eight days only, you can grab as many books as your heart desires, starting from as low as RM2 and others with discounts up to 70%!

Some titles with discounts starting from 30% include bestselling authors such as Dan Brown, Cecilia Ahern, Jodi Picoult, Stepehen Covey and Sophie Kinsella. Lonely Planet guides are also at 30% off.

If you’re an MPH member, there are more offers that await you. To commemorate our nation’s 53^rd Merdeka, all members stand to enjoy 53% off on fifty three selected titles from 3 to 5 September. Every purchase of RM200 and above will also receive a RM10 book voucher. The benefits of being an MPH member extend to outlets with point accumulation, discounts and other promotion, so go ahead and sign up at your closest MPH Bookstores today.

Lest you think books will soon face extinction, Mr Donald Kee, Chief Operating Officer of MPH Bookstores feels differently. “Despite the introduction of e-readers, books in its traditional form are still very much in demand here. Parents too, are more likely to introduce reading to their child through a book as it is more durable, cheaper and entertaining while educating. Long gone are the days when a book is all words, for the younger audience it even comes with sound, trinkets, and flip pages.”

In a nutshell, the MPH Merdeka Sale is one sale you do not want to miss. Come bag some books and brag about your bargain to families and friends.
