I Over Estimated My Books
Finally! My IKEA bookcase is ready, thanks to DH who assembled it!
After I emptied my cartons of books, I realised that I might have over estimated my books. Look, it is so empty now! LOL!
Well, actually I should have about 30-40 books with my cousin. He worked in London previously, so I mah tumpang to send him those books I bought from e-Bay. Who knows, he just told me last week, that he forgot and threw away all my books! Sob, sob, sob… All my favourite genre… 
Nice rack there! So much books.
i dun even have like.. one third of urs? hahaha…
Oh, dun worry, ur cabinet would be filled soon. Always leave space for new books.
Got more space is better than not. I am sure your book collection will pile up in future
Harmony: Thanks! Hehehe, my son keeps saying the bookcase is very nice.
Merryn: Hahaha! My books are all rubbish books, all novels only. I think about 20% not read yet. :p
YM: Ya, I think you are right. As it goes, I filled up almost 2/3 of it, but 2 shelves are full with files.
Elaine:
You are right! Yesterday MPH sales, I bought another 4 books. I actually wanted to buy more, but got to be careful on spending, now that my career is still in a dark!
Old books have the ability to take us back in time and to relive the past because they hold the wisdom and knowledge of our past.
Very nice bookshelf. I wish I can have something like that too!
Your cousin is super careless, he threw away 30/40 books accidentally?!
Rachel: Wow! This sounds familiar! In Inkheart, Mo said to Meggie: “If you take a book with you on a journey, odd thing happens: THe book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open the book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words: the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it…”
Yiwen: Ya loh… he somehow thought those are his books and he discarded them. I love books, and I won’t simply discard my books, whether read or not read loh. :p So heartache ler…
