Hi all. I'm back, finally. (Ooh, it's exactly a month away from the previous post) From New Zealand and to bloggin'. I'm tempted to continue with my previous post and list down the things I did under [future], some of which have now become [past]. However, I'm too lazy to pore through all that I did in the past couple of weeks. So I shall type in a random post before the NZ photos are up, just like how the activity that inspired this post started randomly too.

I was suddenly inspired to pack my cupboards today. As I started to pack one, I was more and more onz about packing the rest. So from my gifts cupboard, I went on to my cards cupboard. Then I proceeded a little to my CD shelf, got bored with it and went over to my books cupboard. And therein lies the motive for this little post. I have many books I want to throw away but are still in rather good (read: covers intact, pages untorn, albeit a little yellow-ish due to age) conditions. So I hereby announce they are up for grabs. If I don't hear from anyone, I shall donate them away by the end of the year.

Anyway, the undermentioned list is more for laughs (looking at the rather hilarious collection of books I've stashed away over the years) than to really must die die get them into the hands of anyone. So here goes..

Yes, yes, I know the list sounds extremely boring. You are probably going like 'What the heck! Who reads such stuff at all?!' I also don't know why I kept them for so long. Looking at the Bookworm series, you can know for sure I once was definitely a bookworm and a Bookworm fan and that these books have been gathering dust and taking up space in my book shelves for a couple of decades (the Bookworm series is really good though - interesting and funny). However, they betray the fact that we (my bro and I) do have quite a good library of good reads from varied authors and genres in our current book shelf. If you do pop over my house, you can ask to take a look at our treasure trove or even borrow a book or two.

By the way, if you seriously want any of these books (I'd be like 'What the heck!'), you can tell me (secretly, if you are afraid people will laugh at your choice of reads) and they are all FREE. So spread the word! And the love!

P/S: Some Chinese books coming up soon.. :)
