Mother's bday & twilight-related stuff

Went to Changi Airport Terminal 3’s Earles Swensens to celebrate mother’s birthday on Saturday. This was the parents’ 1st time going to Earles Swensens while it’s our 2nd time. The 1st time was to celebrate one of my cousin’s birthday.

Earles Swensens is a more high-end outlet than the normal Swensens. The courses there are more expensive and different and there’s a salad bar too.

After that, we went to Harris bookstore. My brother was a newly-convert of Twilight! By me and my cousin, apparently. He was the subject of all my ramblings about everything Twilight- related for a long time. That must have piqued his interest. Furthermore, my cousin started reading Twilight (or should I said New Moon); he said he got tempted to read it too. I or rather, he, bought Twilight. I’ve been waiting ages for to complete my collection so its killing 2 birds with one stone.

Anyway, I was a little a miffed at the fact that the cashier/salesperson think that I don’t know about the Twilight saga just because I picked up and got excited about Twilight (1st book). This did not happen to me only once. Do I looked like I’ve been living under a rock all this while or that it was because of the upcoming movie that made me want to read it? Please, I probably have more knowledge about Twilight saga, Stephenie Meyer and the movie more than them or other people in general.

See, that's why I don't like something to be so publicise. It spoils the whole feeling.

I know they are doing their jobs, by recommending books. In other circumstances, I would greatly appreciate that, but just not in this case.
