Books
Books I have completed reading since January 2021:

1. The Enchanted - Rene Denfield
Part[y]ing Gift
Thursday, October 25, 2007
I'm not too sure if my title of this entry is a mockery or a joke or just to exemplify my cleverness in playing with words.

I'm now in charge of buying a farewell gift to the guy who is leaving my office and readers of this blog must have known who. My workmates and I decided to buy a book for him because we don't know what he likes. I know he dislikes cockroaches, teddy bears and anything that is cute. [What about babies/kids? They are cute too.] But you know buying a book proves to be very difficult because I don't know what books he will like. He only reads hard core history and political books written by Noam Chomsky and the like. That also means he must have read a lot of political books that are in the market which further limits my books choices.

I did a research by asking him 2 questions. One is name me 5 books you have read and another 5 you want to read. His list?

Read
1. The Rise of Modern China
2. Music of Nature - no idea how relevant to politics and psychology
3. 10 Great Educators of Modern Japan
4. The Making of China and Chinese Overseas
5. Modern History of Russia, from Nicholas II to Putin

Want
1. Making Overseas Chinese Legend
2. Japan Foreign Policy, 1945-2003 ... Proactive Policy
3. Creating Entrepreneurial University ...
4. Dreaming in the Universe
5. Perpetual Happiness - Ming Emperor Yongle

After reading the list ... I feel like "hey I should buy him a comic book." A few political books title were running a few lapse in my head and I even thought of going to Kinokuniya to check out but not after he ended the conversation "anything else to ask me? then that's it."

I realised I don't like people telling me that sentence "anything else to ask me." It's annoying and rude. We are not in an interview session though I lied telling him I'm doing a survey on people's reading habit. But is there a necessity to end the conversation like that? I don't like friends telling me that when I just call or message them just to say hi [unless guys that always annoy me like my stalkers...]

I realised again I should buy whatever book I see fit for his farewell gift instead of being so kind hearted asking him and ensuring that the book I will be buying won't either in his bought or read list.

I realised I should just buy him a book called "Why a psychologist needs to see a psychiatrist" or "Why psychologists need to stay in a mental asylum as a patient."

I realised one day he might stumble across this blog and since this is my blog my ranting place I don't think it's necessary to change his nick to some nicer names.

I think I know what book to buy for him. The name of the book would be "Go to Hell" by renaye. Woohoo~ Is there a publisher wants to buy this copyright? The perfect gift for the perfect boyfriend for some girls out there.

I would be buying a book belongs to a genre that he has never touched before "Kama Sutra for the guys and guys."

I would enlighten you guys when I come back from the bookshop tomorrow.
