I've been asked when the next domain giveaway will be. Honestly I can't be sure of the specific date, but it might be some time in May or June. The giveaway will be more of a contest where the participants are be expected to complete simple tasks, slightly similar to the last giveaway. And I just might open up the giveaway for sponsorship so others may join in and contribute to the giveaway too.
Also, if you noticed, I've replaced the comment system to Disqus because the built-in Classic template comment system has no threading feature. And the awesome thing about Disqus is, I can import all the comments from Blogger comment system to Disqus which means I won't lose all the old comments.
While I was in Malaysia, I bought a couple of books:
The Charlemagne Pursuit
Hogfather (Discworld Novel)
The Art of Discworld
A Wild Sheep Chase
The Map
I especially love The Art of Discworld. I've mentioned before how awesome Terry Pratchett (Pterry!) is so this artbook really helps to visualise the Discworld characters better.Labels: books, commenting system, Disqus, giveaway

I missed talking to my fellow bloggers. I've been extremely lazy lately and didn't feel like communicating with anyone. There are also emails that have not yet been responded to (again, laziness prevails). However, I do take the time to do some bloghopping (or in other words, visiting other blogs) but mostly the time was taken up to do some reading.
I've started reading Terry Pratchett's books since late last year and I am ashamed to discover the sheer awesomeness of the author only recently. His books are what I call masterpieces and that's saying a lot, considering there's only one other author whom I consider to have achieved the level1. I especially love his Discworld series; Reaper Man, Men At Arms, Moving Pictures, etc. The humour and the style of literature simply amazes me.
I've revamped the layout on my book listing site. I even registered a new domain for it and added a few more books to the list. You can check out the book listing at Book Niche. On top of that, I've also signed up for Goodreads' 2012 Reading Challenge. I've decided to read 25 books this year (I'd originally wanted to put 50 as the number but it's better not to set up your goals to high) and right now I'm on the 9th book. If I can reach 15 by the middle of the year, I might up the limit to 30.

This morning I went to Icklebooks for the very first time. I've heard about the shop so many times and to be honest, I was itching to give the shop a visit. Oh in case you don't know, Icklebooks is a store that sells children's specialty books and educational toys and it's the first one of its kind in Brunei. It's a neat little shop and I enjoyed looking at the items there. But what really interested me the most were the computer-related book and the camera sections. There weren't a lot of choices but I picked up a book that I think would come in handy when it comes to web design.
Web Design in Simple Steps by James A. Brannan
And as I said, there's also the camera section where they sell lomography cameras! I've set my eyes on the Diana F+ and the Diana Mini for a long time now so I was so thrilled to see they actually sell them in the shop!

And the petite version of Diana F+:

You can check out more lomography cameras at Lomography or Lomography Asia.
Thanks to Crystal of Teahouse MB for this cute little link buttons.
I'm too lazy to create link buttons for Codeislove myself so I'd very much welcome anyone who's willing to make some for me. :)Labels: books, camera, lomography

Fasting month is just around the corner so for Muslims out there, get your fasting gears ready! :D
I've taken up The Lord of the Rings again. It's been my favourite saga, as well as any of Tolkien's other works. I've read The Silmarillion, The Unfinished Tales and the Book of Lost Tales Part 1&2. Tolkien has changed, shaped and defined my ideas of how fantasy concepts should be laid out. I remember crying in the cinema at the end of the third (and final) movie, that's how deep the impression the book left on me.
Books always have that kind of effect on me. I suppose this is one reason why books hold a special place in my heart. Reading is my passion and I can say for certain it will remain that way. Speaking of books, I highly recommend any of Terry Pratchett books. They're so awesome. Especially the one which he co-written with Neil Gaiman: Good Omens.
So what else is there? Ah, I've finally submitted my Masters degree application form. I really hope I will get to do my Masters. I applied for Masters in Education. Not too keen about this choice, actually. I would've preferred doing Masters in a different field but since Education is my forte, it is a safer bet to choose this path.
About the giveaway, it's probably going to be held either on August 1st or August 2nd, I haven't decided just yet. Just keep on coming back! <33
One of my old clients have not contacted me regarding the design I made for her so the template is pretty much abandoned. I might decide to sell it off instead. Blah! :(Labels: books, giveaway, Masters degree, template
