My Obession with Books

For the love of Books.
I used to love book when I
was young. My English wasn’t good and my dad forced me to read Enid Byton story book. You named it Famous five .My parents spent a lot of me to motivate me to read. I used to live in my fantasy world of Enid Byton of Gnomes and Pixies and that what trigger me to join brownie when I was in primary school. Then in order to feed more love of reading into me, my mum brought me to bedok library. At those times,I remembered those days I would be fighting for the Adventure of Tin Tin ,Asterix .The more reading type would be Nancy Drew and hardy boy’s mystery stories.So those would be the days where we fight for book in libary .

Well , I continued to go library when I was in my varsity. I would be borrowing technology book for doing my project . I love reading . I just love reading .

But Then I forgot about reading when I started working. I hardly read book.
But then recently a few years back,I was introduced back to my refuge. Yah READING IS CONSIDER a refuge for me when I was young gal. The little gal with spectacles and digging and making dog ears to famous Five storybook which my dad brought for my birthday and after reaidng , how I wish I be at some adventure island and the dog would always follow them. That caused me to have my little shih Tzu ,lucky. He is small version of Famous Five big dog .hahahhaa.But my lucky doesnt like adventure and he just laze around the house .

Yah, Suddenly I realised that whom had introduce me to this wonderful place of books.

Gill. She brought my 1st book, Boundaries for me.It was gift for me at the lowest period of my life. I still remembered the cat card she sent me. And I never forgot her for this whole life .She gave my first book and reminds me of my first love .BOOKS.

I started reading her book. I found it was very good. Even Rev Timothy used that book to coach and advice me. And then she continues to give me books. She brought me a lot of book, even when I am in Singapore, she never fail to send book to read.She never fail to send a well wishes card to me .

She brought me alot of good books, I think all of them are really good book and I called them treasure. She send me a few good books on how to lead a Christian life in this messy world. But I confessed I had a very bad habit of reading the few chapter of books and then I end up getting to start a new one. Sometimes I go library and borrowed some ,so then I would then divert my attention to my library books as they need to completed and returned back to library before datedue . Yah I must remember to send the book exchange project by the library . I had a few GMAT BOOKS to donate to them . Anyway , back to my bad habit,So forever I am like…..whatever…Anyway I appreciate her for beening there for me and bringing me back to the world of book. Gill .She was a kind beautiful lady who always tells me to stop crying and let read a book. She is my only best friend, best sister in Christ, good encourager and she would encourage and advise me in many area of my life. I am blessed because of her.Can I say God love me and send her to me?
Even now we are distance apart , she never fail to keep up with me .

So I started to find my 1st love again. You can name the entire bookstore in Singapore. I became a members of them . I would spend my free time in Kink Bookstore, MPH, and border. I would be in the self help session, and flipping the best seller .So well,if you need to get books, you know I can help you to get them at member price.But why buy it , borrow them.But some book i prefer to be kept in my treasure shelves at my bedside cupboard.

And mostly after reading the book at bookshop or library , I ended up a few hours; I decided I MUST GET the book. I love reading again. I find it is place where I read other views and also it would bring my mind off for a while. Suddenly I feel alive again and not into my so gloomy world. And Opentrolley bookstore is a good online web bookshop too. You can order cheap and wide varieties of books. Io go that website to get books.Should I get the 4 hour workweek from there later.

So basically you would know also. I didn’t miss out MPH warehouse sales lately at expo .This time I purchased over 30 books. Yah if you see a fat lady carrying one box taking the train, you know that me. I am crazy over books. I brought different category , Self Help , Dogs care , and many others. I feel happy that I got those book at cheaper warehouse sales.

Part of the MPH warehouse book , One of books I brought was Financial IQ and Henry Cloud , God in your career, how to turn your dog into a university graduate , And also brought one book by Dalai lama , the art of happiness . I felt so proud able to buy these books. But I do agreed, I had this bad habit of reading the first few pages and then I would forget about them and get new books. Oh No!

My parents don’t know how come I become craze over my books.

To avoid spending too much on books, I tried by divulging my attention to library. So you named it I would spend my weekend at the heartland mall library. And I spend hours just to find treasure in those treasure shelves. But it become a bad habit wanting to make the book into the book of mine after borrowing the stories book.That means I go to opentrolley and purchase the book .

Anyway , recently I borrowed this book called the 4 hour work week by Timothy Ferris. I think I going to buy this book .But my dad remind me not to spend excessively on books. Yoda, you asked me to print them. And I am like…getting into trouble because of that Maybe you could take it and photocopy for me.hahahaahahahaha.

Anyway my wish list is this new book. I am stopping myself from buying it .And I wish I get kindle machine so that I can read book online .Yah Kindle Lite is one of my wants too.

OH NO!!! I am obsessed with Book .But Book is still a good obsessive isn’t it? Don’t know where to find me, I be at library or bookstore.
