BooksActually

Sorry I have not been blogging but for those who don't know yet,
I have already started work at


BooksActually is the little bookshop that Owen and I use to visit
mainly because we simply loved the atmosphere of the place...
(as you know Andrea is not exactly what you would consider a "book worm")
The quaint nook, in the middle of the night hustle and bustle of busy corporate-serving watering holes and che-che restaurants, which is Club Street, is a gem that specialises in Literature and local writings, as well as handmade stationery & hard-to-find non-fiction.
To be honest, I was quite surprised at how all this started...
I just sent my resume (the one below), after BooksActually owners, Kenny & Karen sent out a Tweet for a new Bookshop Elf
I went down to the shop for an interview
(which included a literature quiz I was not remotely proud of)
To my surprise (and everyone as well)
I got the job!
So now you can find me Mondays to Fridays at the shop Owen and I love to go to!
I am now a Bookshop Elf in the attic floor of this little special shophouse filled with curios...
(or what Karen calls "tchotchkes", a nonsensical word)

This is at the Lee Clan Association at Ann Siang
where BooksActually held a book launch recently for
Light on the Lotus Hill

So far I am really enjoying the work
(despite the exhausting hours)
Hope I will continue loving...
