Finally, the term exams are over for me. A big load of shit it was! Ha!! When I finished the paper last night, I could not wait to leave the exam hall. It was a nice, almost euphoric, feeling to step out of the campus after the paper. Now, it's wait, wait, wait for the results.
Still on the topic of education...
We bought Valerie's school books for next year via the Internet again this time round. I feel this is way better than years ago when parents had to go to school to lug the books home. (Of course, those who choose to may still buy the books from the school on specific days!)
No more queueing up at the school canteen and fighting other parents to get the books before they 'run out of stock' for the day. The bookstore that processes the online orders will have the book order sent right to your doorstep. At an additional 'shipping' fee of about SGD5.00, this is definitely worth the money - considering the amount of squeezing, queueing and sweating you do not have to go through.
The process of ordering is simple too!
- Visit the site and create a login account FREE.
- Select your child's level (Primary 3, Primary 4, etc.) and select the school he/she is studying in. A COMPLETE list of all available items (EXACTLY the same as the list issued by the school) will be displayed.
- Select the books that you want/don't want and the quantity required.
- Submit and double check order list before confirming.
That's all! You can expect delivery to be usually about a week or so from the date of order. A thing to note would be that most of these sites only accept credit/debit cards for payment. Cashcards are generally not widely accepted (yet!?!?) for online payments.
So, in about 3 days time, Valerie will have to start going through the new books... I will also have to start writing her name as well as putting on the covers for the books.
The year's coming to an end and so are the holidays... a new year is a welcoming change indeed.

About elibraryhub.com, taken off its website.eLibraryHub is a one-stop integrated digital library that offers users - individuals, businesses and community groups - a "personalized" experience of having a library of their own.
I find the site particularly useful, especially for booking those books that are always out on loan... paying a small booking fee ensures that I can at least stand a chance to get the book I want! Hahaha!
Visit the site, read more and improve yourselves at the same time!
