Recycling Old Hard Cover Books
Published on Friday, April 2, 2010 by WishBoNe Recently, I saw a tutorial on how to recycle or give another life to old hard cover books. I found one that my aunt no longer needed and I found it a real pity to just dump it and happened to find a tutorial on how to alter such books into a book purse. Rather easy once you have the materials. It's the handle and the inside that I lack. I have covered it in denim that... Read More »

Growing Stack of Books
Published on Thursday, October 22, 2009 by WishBoNe I love reading. Reading lets me escape from the world and fantacise in the world of Alice in Wonderland (the movie is coming), Xanth creatures and other beautitul characters with wonderful homes. For the past few months, I have been reading other books. Books that have helped me get better focus in life. Dale Carnegie was a visionary; he knew that everyone would ne... Read More »

Humans Are Fascinating Creatures
Published on Thursday, April 16, 2009 by WishBoNe It's always amazing to get to talk to people ever since I started volunteering at NLB. I took up a session for the book exchange that would be carried out until 24th Apr 2009 to allow people to exchange their books for coupons to be used on 25th April 2009 at Victoria Street from 10.30am to 6pm. Quite a number of people asked about the books that could be exchanged... Read More »

Volunteering at NLB
Published on Saturday, March 28, 2009 by WishBoNe Image via Wikipedia This volunteering took me some time because I couldn't join the earlier batches. It is a hot service because everyone would want to take part but on the day itself, I was rather shocked at the no-show. I am not sure what happened but it is unfair to those who are available on that day being unable to take part because the no-show were taking a... Read More »

My Attempt at Self Publishing
Published on Friday, February 20, 2009 by WishBoNe Having been toying with the idea of publishing my own book for years, I have finally pushed my lazy butt and published an eBook first. It is just part of what I have written for NaNoWriMo in 2008 and I have been editing it tediously for spelling and grammar. Having lost the art of writing for more than 10 years, I was nearly on the brink of tears when words fail to... Read More »

Aggressive Reading
Published on Wednesday, February 4, 2009 by WishBoNe I have been bitten by the "Aggressive Reading Bug". Just before CNY, I went to the nearest regional library and borrowed 8 books because they have a promotion. A pity that they can't allow that for everyone except for the premimum membership that I never got around to applying for. Although I have gotten myself into the volunteer programme for NLB. That was when I ... Read More »

Those School Years
Published on Saturday, January 10, 2009 by WishBoNe A feeling of nostalgia overcome me when I watched shows like The Days, Hana Kimi and Brown Sugar Macchiato. School crushes were a plenty of course. What's growing up as a teenager without girly crushes over that cute guy in class or another class? I never shown my bravery at telling any of the crushes that I remotely liked them. The girls in BSM were brave to tell ... Read More »

What to Do When You Need Money?
Published on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 by WishBoNe I love money. Hands up for those who don't! There! See? Nobody has their hands up! All your hands are on the mouse and the keyboard, right? I clever, right? :P When one is rich, what does one do? Buy property and stuff. When one is poor, what does one do? Sell the assets to raise the funds just so one can eat and take the public transport. Check out Claudia's Garag... Read More »

Freelance Torture
Published on Monday, October 6, 2008 by WishBoNe [caption id="" align="alignright" width="202" caption="Image via Wikipedia"][/caption] Freelance can be a torture. That's when you don't plan the schedule. Your family members keep calling for you thinking that just because you are home, you are free. You try to let them know but they fail to see the logic when working in the office means you are busy (can't ... Read More »

Proof-read Your Reports
Published on Saturday, May 17, 2008 by WishBoNe Having studied a degree, writing reports is the next thing to proceed. You have to write thesis for the project for that final mark to gain that honours. It wasn't easy for me to choose a project from the list of term paper topics as there wasn't really a list. We were supposed to think of a problem that is plaguing a company or the mass. Tough. However, when I think... Read More »
