YOGAYUGA

I bought a new book today on the book sales, The Rules of Life by Richard Templar. Those theories are great, very meaningful and useful. It is a book to teach you how to have a meaningful life with certain value; be good to yourself, and be good to others. It also teaches you how to be happy. There is only a line of difference between happiness and unhappiness. It all depends on how you choose it. It’s just a simple choice. Happiness is also part of theory of simplicity.

I bought quite a lot of books ages ago, but I don’t buy books much now, especially novels. I only buy when I really like it. I only like reading non-fiction books. Well, I used to read lots, and lots of novels long time ago. I read a lot when I was in N.Z. I borrowed lots of books from Wellington city library, which is located on Victoria Street, Wellington. It is the most stylish library I have ever been. It’s huge and well designed. You won’t miss any books in there. You can borrow up to six books each time during that period for two weeks. I sat there and read for the whole day during the weekend. Most of books I read were novels. They were classic stories. Some of them were romantic novels written by Barbara Cartland. Some were stories with history background. I liked reading history books a lot, but most were European and Asian history books. I had ever attended English Literature class. It was disaster for me. No kidding! I am definitely not good enough to read script written by Shakespeare, though I like the language. I quitted the class in the end, as I must fail in the exam. hahahaha!

I was sorting out my old books at night. I want to give some to Salvation Army. These books have been with me almost twenty years. My stuff is really full of history. Dear!! I will keep the best ones. Some are cook books. Most of them are about art and design. Some are actually out of publication. I also have a series of business magazines and alumni magazines, but I will throw them away.

I will keep following books. They are great books…America’s Glorious Quilts, Painted Country, Dictionary of Ornament, Vogue special edition for models and fashion during 1964 - 1994, History of Art……..After I sorted out what I don’t want, my sister came out from her room, and told me she wants most of them. L0L Well, anyway, it’s also good. Imagine how I shipped them back, it wasn’t funny at all. I shipped them with trunk box by sea. It is a cargo service you can ship your goods by sea with a box that you can place as much stuff as you want. There was no weight limitation for each box. It costed fifty pounds per shipment from U.K. to Hong Kong. It was the way I shipped my stuff back. I wonder if this service was still existed.
