Blog Award: Versatile Blogger

It has been awhile since the last time I do any award post!.Few days ago, a friend of mine, Natasha from Ulat Buku in The City, told me that she forwarded this award my way. Thank you so much, Natasha! Upon receiving this award, I'd have top share up to five facts about myself and then pass this along to five other blogs that I've recently discovered. So, here we goes.

Some Random, Not-So-Interesting Facts About Myself
(1)  I don't like to talk. Yes, you definitely heard that right. I really don't like to talk. This is the habit that I *so* want to change but unfortunately, until this moment, I am still can't. Anyone of you can give me some tips on how to be a better speaker? I'd TOTALLY appreciate that!

(2) I enjoyed doing stuffs on photoshop. Sometimes I wonder why didn't I think majoring on any of these graphics courses cause it is so much fun then what am I doing right now *lol* I'm not saying that I'm really good at it but for a self-learner, I think I did OK =)

(3) Well, I might love photoshop but I absolutely scare of people that try to take my picture. I feel like I act awkwardly in front of camera hence why I really don't like it. I guess my extreme shyness must have something to do with this, yikes!

(4) Every single books I have must be plastic-wrapped before I start reading them. I bought most of the books I read and tell you what, books are very expensive in Malaysia, so I feel like I've to take a really good care of them.

(5) I absolutely cannot live one day without peeking into a book or surf the net. Recently I have this episode where my broadband fail to work and seriously speaking, I feel like my life is not complete :-/ I never have a day, so far, without having books around, so not really sure what that will do to me. Guess that this really make me a book AND internet junkie *blush*

So, that is all that I can think about right now. I'd like to pass this award to my lovely friends here:
(1) Mavie from The Bookologist
(2) Amelia from Imagination in Focus
(3) Aly from Fantasy4Eva
(4) Bella from A Girl Reads a Book
(5) GMR from Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers

Awards Galore!

I had received quite a few awards in these few months and I think it is about time for me to pass the love to some other book bloggers that I've come across in this period of time. The list and description of the awards I received are as the following:

(1) Happy 101 Award

Received from: 
Corrine @ Lost for Words

This award is interesting as I'd have to list down ten five (You don't mind that I cut this down since I did a lil elaboration for each points, right??) things that made me happy. So, let's see what are the thing in the world that made Shy a happy bee:


Family: Without them, we won't be here today, right? I'm happy to see them happy and for sure, this feeling is mutual.

Being at My Parent's House: I've rented a place with my fellow friends for quite awhile now, but there is no other place that could beat the place where I grew up in. I've to admit that I'm a homebody and I love the secure, cosy and warmth feelings that I have whenever I live under one roof with my parents. Gosh, this reminds me that I've not been there for few months now

Books: Even a glimpse of shiny, new books are enough to make my eyes sparkle. I've no doubt that people surrounding me think that my book buying addiction is way beyond crazy but if I don't buy it myself, who else would do that for me, right? So yes, reading books make me happy, buying books make me  very happy and winning books make me extremely happy! *lol*

Cats: I am, without doubt, an animal lover. I'm currently babysitting my friend's goldfish and have adopted numbers of kitties at the back of my house. And I am also a proud aunt of Duke, the chubby Persian cat. I think having pets really help me to relax and their behaviours do make me giggle most of the time.

This Blog: I've meet A LOT of great people since the day I start blogging. I cannot believe that this baby of mine is three months old already and I'm happy with the network of friends I meet through blogging. What a great surprise for me since I never thought that anyone would ever read my blog at first. Huge thanks to all of you!
