It’s been quite sometime since I last read a book. Last Sunday, I went over to Amcorp Mall in Petaling Jaya just to kill some time before our band practice. Quite an interesting place to check out. (There will be another post on this one)

I have been wanting to buy a book about The Beatles. I didn’t care what sort of coverage the book was about on The Beatles, as long as it is about The Beatles. I tried checking out Popular Bookstore. They don’t seem to have em as far as I was browsing around. (I never asked the staff for assistance anyway). Tried this shop that sells second hand books. Nope. Nothing. Then I went to the lower ground floor. Met up with Mr Joe the person I bought the second hand Fender Champion 30 amp from. He sells other stuffs too. Old records, guitars, record players, guitar amps etc. Very cool chap. Then I saw this book placed at a placement on the wall. Wrapped in some plastic. It says, ‘Meet The Beatles’. Hallelujah! There it is. What I’ve been looking for. A book on The Beatles.

So far I have only managed 20+ pages. Everything was done during my LRT rides. Pretty interesting book. Do you know that two of the Beatles members can’t read any musical notes? Every time they have a song idea, they’ll just hum it and the rest of the team will compose them into musical sheet. Don’t ask me who those two were. I forgot to bring the book on my ride today. Quite frustrated.

I got a Ticket to Ride!

I studied hotel management before. My goal initially was to pursue a career in the hotel industry. Probably being in the front office or sales department. I did not end up working in the hotel by the way. Instead, I’m now attached with a call center that has nothing to do with the words ‘bb plate’, ‘divan’ or ‘concierge’. I might say that studying hotel management did prove to be somewhat beneficial. I did learn a lot of new stuff. I’ll be honest. Not everything was absorbed into my brain. But I kind of liked the classes on wine knowledge. I still remember my lecturer by the name of Mr Jude Gasper. Nice ol’ chap. He even let us try the wines in class!

This does not mean I’m a wine expert now. But come on, every home owner would love to have a collection of wines at home. Reasons might be for the purpose of interior styling, impressing friends and family or maybe you just like the idea of having a collection of wines available anytime. However, everyone knows that you need to store wines, especially red wines in a vertical position. That way if the bottle is using a cork, the cork at the tip of the bottle would be damp and this can ensure the cork is swollen in order to fill the bottleneck. Oxygen in the air is their greatest enemy. If you are planning to store your wine collections, getting a stylish and quality Wine Rack is always recommended. Wood or metal? That depends on your sense of style and your interior surroundings.

You could check out thevinestore.com for more photos and info on any type of Wine Rack.

I happened to be picked to receive the “Thinking Blogger Award” by one of the favorite blog I frequent almost everyday. That would be MrBadak of course. He was mentioning about ‘meme’ and stuff in the particular post and I don’t even know what the terms mean until I Wiki’d it. I am really humbled by this award. Surely there are many more out there he could have picked. Well, this is exciting. Wohoo!

So, I would need to name my own list of blogger folks whom I think should receive this award as well. There were some hard decisions that I had to make because there are just so many blogs that I love out there. After really sitting down for 10 minutes or so, I have come to the conclusion that this award should go to these fabulous 5ive.

So that’s it folks. If you do decide that you should accept this award, then pick 5 other bloggers whom you think should receive the same award. Then link back to this post so folks will know where this meme originates from. You may use the image or get a different color that fits your theme.

Have you ever been in a situation like this?

You were about to go for a little trip back to your hometown. You have been planning this for more than a week. Your clothes are packed, everything was organized. Got all your essentials like a disposable shaver, some toothpaste, a small bottle of shower gel and maybe even a small bottle of shampoo. The books and magazines that you promised your little sis has also been packed into a recycled box you got from the nice neighbor. Now you stand up and with hands on the waist you breathe a sigh of relief that everything is packed and you are ready to go. You lift the box hurriedly in an attempt to put it in the trunk of your car when suddenly all the contents spilled on the floor! Great! Now what?

That would not have happened if you would have used the packaging from a company called The Packing Station. They specialize in packing essentials like packaging materials, mailing + despatch, storage + removals, tools + equipment and gift + retail packaging. You can be sure your box will not end up like the one your nice neighbor gave to you since theirs are made from heavy duty, extra strong brown kraft that are double walled. It is that good that even when stacked or packed tightly, they will not crush. Suitable for most climates and humidity too.

For more info, head on to www.thepackingstation.co.uk now.
