MY PERSONAL LIBRARY


MY PERSONAL LIBRARY


THE BLACK SHELF IS ONE OF THE FIRST BOOK SHELF I BOUGHT

I REALLY NEED A BIGGER ROOM

THE OWNER IS A CHELSEA FAN !!!!


THIS SHELF IS DEDICATED FOR FICTIONS


When my house completed in 2004, I've decided to dedicate room no 4 as a study room cum personal library. So far this is one of my favourite area in the house. I can spend hours in this room doing things that I really like which is READING.

The current number of books is 1500 (thanks to the warehouse books sales....) and for 2010 my aim is to add another 350 books. This will enable me to try reaching my ultimate target which is to have a total of 5000 books in 10 years time.

Looking forward to the warehouse book sales in 2010.

BEN 10 @ KL CONVENTION CENTER


Briefing from BEN 10 expert


At the entrance of Hall 3


The response is not really convincing
The stage setup (camera off once the show started ...)

Finally the BEN 10 live stage show is here in Kuala Lumpur. I've booked the ticket much earlier online to avoid last minute congestion since it's during weekend. Although I've probably seen BEN 10 on TV only once , the brief overall summary by my son before the show started really helps.
This is our first time to KL Convention Center and I'm really amaze of the overall setup which is much better than Putra World Trade Center especially for such an event like BEN 10 live performance. Thanks to Wan Zaleha Radzi and her company for bringing such an event to Malaysia.
The hall was half empty probably because the price of tickets which I feel was a bit high and also the promotion which was not that extensive. Anyway the whole family really enjoy the show and we look forward for another similar event in the future.

BIG BAD WOLF BOOK SALES

MY CATCH FOR THE EVENT (MOSTLY BIOGRAPHIES)


Lots of books and lots of people but not much space

By 11 am the place was jam pack


it's like going to concert, pushing and shoving at the entrance




Half an hour before the gates open (and I thought I'm early)



Out of all the warehouse sales related to books this year , this is the one. Everybody especially the bookaholics have been talking about this event since early of this year. Since I miss the last year event, I've decided to give this one a definite must go event.

This year it's held at Amcorp Mall (easy access, plenty of parking and near to LRT station) next to Book Xcess shop at level 3. I went on the first day, half an hour early but to my surprise almost 100 people are even earlier. The space was a bit small and no wonder when the gates open within 10 minutes it's jam pack.

No time to review, just grab whatever you can. And since I've decided to concentrate on biography of sports personality within an hour I've completed my shopping with 30 biographies mostly ep footballers. It's really cheap, a hard cover bio of John Terry at Kinokuniya = RM 110 but it's RM 8 at BBW sales.

Overall it's really cheap and most of the books range from 2006-2009 , organizer however could improve for the next year sales especially on the size of the hall (it's too small and I'm not the only one whose complaining).
