HELLO.

As everyone (well, now you know if you hadn't) knows, I am packing like crazy these days and apparently I have some items that I will not be bringing over. (lack of space) So I am looking for kind souls who wish to adopt them and give them a good home. When packing I wanted to avoid leaving my books behind cos (sentimentality aside) I feel that these documents are in really great condition and they also contain lots of useful information in easily-digestible formats (translation: they contain lots of substance in very accessible style, aka a lot of info which is really quite easy to read) and for some reason, I'll be reading pretty much of the same subjects in Melbourne next year. But apparently there isn't enough space plus my flight weight allowance isn't very nice, so I had to set aside some items (SOBS) to give up. I had originally set aside certain items to give away to people who specially requested to take them up (plus more which I pretty much unceremoniously chose to dump on certain poor, unsuspecting souls - sorry Ms Faith, heh - as "tokens of remembrance"; yeah, I left my mark with the CH Survival Packs) and so while those have good homes (or more or less certain ones) I am looking for new homes and TLC for these babies (: Preferably juniors or those who might actually use them, cos these are mostly study texts. But I'm not complaining if you're going to adopt one just to remember me by (: PRESENTING: ADVENT '08 Item: Upper Secondary Social Studies (Sec 3 SS Text) Aston asked me for the Sec 4 text the other day and I was like "Take it with my blessings" but personally I preferred Sec 4 SS to Sec 3 SS because I feel that the Sec 4 topics were a lot more exciting. But netherless, all topics are still relevant to Singapore's development and to our understanding of today's modern world and the key aspects of human society today - political, social, environmental and economic. (OK, now I sound as if I'm advertising for CPD) Comes with Post-It Markers (can be removed if preferred) and my own notes and scribbles in coloured ink (I'm sorry, I really love coloured ink). Can be wrapped if preferred. In pretty good condition.  Item: PHYSICS Matters (O Level Physics Textbook) This was probably the darling of the collection. I remember lugging this baby around the place all the time, to class, home, tuition and night study. I was so horrible at Physics that I needed the text even when doing homework and TYS. (TYS Full Paper is also available with answer keys from teachers - you can't trust those in the book - and post-it marked for every paper, but it's all complete and marked) But don't worry, it's so marked and loved, cos I don't like the idea of karma. This baby is marked with post-it flags for many different concepts and comes with my own notes in coloured ink and add-on notes (for certain concepts like Electromagnetism) on separate slips of paper, attached in a folder inside the cover. Comes wrapped in plastic (the durable wapper) and is in very good condition, though the binding is a little worn, but it still holds together sturdily. This advent list will continue as I sort my stuff out. I will update on the claimed items. To claim the items, tag my blog, approach on MSN, call/sms or just get to me in any way possible by 30th December 2008. Thanks! |
