Retrospect #36: September 7th

September 7, 2014

Retrospect #36 - Colour coordinated bookshelfAs you can see in the above photos, I rearranged some of my books. I share an IKEA Expedit 5-by-5 bookcase (that IKEA sadly discontinued earlier this year). Since I own way more books than my sister does, she has 10 pigeon holes while I have 15. A good number of those are used for school books, music scores, old children’s books, board games etc. I love how there’s enough space to double-stack books, such that I can tuck away books I won’t be reading in the foreseeable future.

Reading - My Best Friend Maybe by Caela CarterYou know those weeks that pass you by and you’re not really sure what happened or where that week disappeared to? Yeah, I had one of this weeks. It happened, and now it’s gone. I know I had a friendly match, that I tutored, etc but somehow I think I was on auto-pilot for the most part.

Retrospect #32-34 (Triple Edition): August 24th

Restrospect #34 - GraduationIt has been a while since I updated this space with the ongoings in my life. Mainly it’s because I’ve been busier with personal things and also just generally busier during the weekends. But fear not, all’s good with me.

Retrospect #31: August 3rd

August 4, 2014

book haulA few books I ordered from The Book Depository finally found their way into my mailbox after being en route for almost three weeks. I’ve come to a point where I’m surprised whenever I find books in my mailbox rather than disappointed that they haven’t arrived yet. It used to take a little over a week for books to arrive, while now it’s closer to three weeks. For one, it takes longer till the books ship out and for another, shipping itself also seems to be taking longer. Why that is, I don’t know.

Retrospect #30: July 27th

16 Things I Thought Were True by Janet GurtlerSo many books, so little time! I’m sure many of you can relate to this. Lately I’ve been wanting to spend more time reading, and less time blogging. I’ve been thinking of taking a week or two off from blogging, so I can gain more time to read. Taking a break is inevitable anyway, no matter the hobby. I don’t train for sports all year round. When a season concludes, my teams have always taken a break before resuming training for the next season. I’m thinking with blogging, a break might do me good as well.
