I have been picking up a habit of buying second-hand books lately. Great books can sometimes be found at the price range of 25 - 50 pence each! Hence that answers the pile of books in my room. I'm giving you my 5 top reasons why you should be collecting books as well.
- Those who create a library create a life -a friend-
- Collecting books encourages you to read more.
- A great way of decorating your room.
- Attracts more friends who share the same interest.
- You'll eventually feel your IQ is increased significantly everytime you have a good 10-seconds look at your collection!
There are a few things which I'd like to share with you for now.
- I came across a good online photo editor, tried it, and found it to be an exciting toy to play with. Picnik.com. Try it here!
- 'Projek Kalsom 13' video has been uploaded by Ang & Markus. Click here to watch it on YouTube, or here to browse through its website.
- There has been a major crisis between the leaders and protestors of Burma. Loads of civilians have been oppressed by the military dictatorship for years. Please kindly sign the petition to 'Stand with the Burmese Protestors' here. Every support counts.
- I'll be out for 5 days to Dorset & Devon for a residential fieldtrip. Will be back on Friday night.
