No Q For Book Lovers

Besides being a food lover, I am also into books!  But not all kinds of books, only selective ones.  Before the computer was "born", I was an avid book reader. When I eat alone at home, there would be a book beside me... when I go to my "private small cubicle", I would be holding a book too... and yes, before I go to sleep those days, I would be reading some chapters and sometimes when the storyline gets more and more exciting, I would be reading even when it was after midnight.
Books pending... yet to be read...

Well, as time goes by and the latest gadgets come to "live"... I spend less of my time reading books but more into reading blogs and social media networking (the one that starts with a capital F).... but nevertheless, I still manage to squeeze in some of my day's time to read... 
I received a small package sent from Singapore recently. 
My books which I ordered through this online store called noqstore.asia has finally arrived!
My favourite author is Sidney Sheldon but since he has passed on, 
Tilly Bagshawe is the one I am following now.... 
Her writing style is almost the same with the Sidney Sheldon.
Here's her three books that I have ordered and arrived!

And now to benefit my readers... you can also order books in this website here by quoting REANA and get an exclusive 15% discount on all purchases at NoQ store... valid from 11 August till 31 December 2014!  More than 14 million books are in store for you... No Buy never mind, at least go and take a look!

    Ahhhhh!!!! Good convenient way to buy books but I do enjoy browsing around the stores to pick the book I want plus the added bonus of the nice smell of brand new books.

      Won't buy if I have a choice. Last week a small piece of plastic fell off from the hole that I insert the charging connector. It's been going downhill ever since. Now I charge the phone overnight, can get 40% capacity only :(

    3. ReanaclaireSeptember 3, 2014 at 10:03 AM

      Oh really... then must get one.. 40% can only last a couple of hours if using watsapp.. or even less if surfing.. Chinese saying... old one don't go, how to get new one leh?

    Me too! I love to read, and when I was growing up, I would even bring a book to the dinner table. That made my mom mad. But now there is laptop, ipad, Smart phone, and my books stay in the bookcase. There are not enough hours in the day, Claire!

    I also buy books online from MPH Online. Very convenient to have the books delivered to me. Oh, Sidney Sheldon! His books are very difficult to put down. Once you start, you just have to read right to the end :D

    I used to enjoy Sidney Sheldon but now I am into varieties. As long good story lines I dont have any favourite authors.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
