My Shopping Spree At Kinokuniya

Reading has always been my number one passion before we have broadband at home. *ahem* Due to space constraint and bad time management in the cyberspace, I have not been buying books recently. Term 3 starts today and I felt that I needed retail therapy to upgrade myself so I decided to go down to Kinokuniya in the afternoon.

Here are my harvest.

1) Parenting books
This series of books are highly recommended by my best friend. Actually, the book I was trying to get in Jurong Regional Library is "How To Talk So Kids Will Listen...". Apparently, it was a very popular title and they are on loan in most libraries. Well, might as well get a personal copy!

I know some of you are thought you smell a fish when you read my previous post about being a parent of 2 for 1 day. And you think you confirmed that there is a fish when you see the book I bought about Sibling Rivalry. No no no. That is just purely for my reading pleasure.

What do adopted children want their parents to know? I would very much like to know too.

2) Chinese books
As a fan of the Taiwanese rock group五月天, of course I will support the pregnancy journal 《我的摇滚妈咪》written by 石头和狗狗. And it comes with a necklace that says "Rock Baby". Perfect for Ms Jae. Hoho.I was attracted by the cover of the red book which explores the Japanese culture -- Why are the Japanese Obsessed With compressing things? Hmmm.. interesting! They compressed the radio to a walkman and compressed a bento into rice balls. Their compressed versions are usually better than the original! When I opened up the box, I was not too surprised to see a mini book.
The last book is reading for professional upgrading. I want to more about Confucious Ethics and hopefully I will be able to infuse the great teachings in my lessons.

So many books to read! So little time!
