Bad habits

  • Art of happiness, by Dalai Lama;
  • Seven habits of highly effective people, by Stephen Covey;

  • Further along the road less travelled*, by M. Scott Peck;
  • Assortment of books on chess.

Library

Managed to take some time to go to the local library (known as the “National” Library here in Singapore, consisting of a network of regional libraries) tonight. Borrowed two books:

  • Nicolae: the rise of Anti-Christ, which is Book 3 of the Left Behind series, and

  • PHP developer’s cookbook (as recommended on a number of websites which discusses PHP).

Hopefully will have some interesting reading to do in the coming weeks, as well as learning a lot about PHP!
