Pressie hunt turn Japanese lesson

Yesterday, other than getting my Biotherm skin care products, I was suppose to be out scouting for Lisi's birthday pressie [her birthday's just around the corner]! After walking about the mall aimlessly, I resorted to calling up Lisi to "force" her to reveal what's it she wants for her birthday. Some kinda friend eh? Haha.. but still that beats giving her something which might end up being some kinda white elephant. She didn't want to accept my suggested pressie choice: a pack of 4ply toilet rolls. Haha.. I was only just kidding her.
So that afternoon was spent mostly at the language section in Kinokuniya [bookstore]. Browsed through the different languages; Thai, French, Japanese, etc., trying to pick up a few words or two. I was totally glued to the Japanese books man. Saw a few good ones [was tempted to get one with CD help]. Ended up purchasing two books [Japanese related].

2. Lonely Planet Japanese Phrasebook (Lonely Planet Japanese Phrasebook)

Personally I think this phasebook is really good. I have another similar one from Berlitz, which ain't bad too.
