Iphone for dummies – Edward C.Baig & Bob LeVitus
Nowadays, with the development of technology; mobile phones are not used just for answering calls only. Smartphones allow user to do more than calling. One very good example is the iphone. As a new iphone user myself, I came across a book “I-phone for dummies” that has guided me to using the iphone functions effectively.
There are altogether 6 parts in this book. It provides clear and detailed instructions on how to surf the internet on iPhone and setting up of email accounts. From the book, I learnt that there are many useful applications that we can download and use. Some examples are using the camera on iPhone as a bar code scanner or using the iphone as a GPS tracking device.
In short, I am not going to tell more details about this book so that you can borrow it and discover for yourself.

This interesting book is very useful for all of us who study Organizational Behavior module. It covers all the topics from our lessons. I often spend time to read the pre-class reading together with this book as it could help me to be more prepared for the next lesson. Moreover, it provides me a deeper insight of how our behavior and belief can influence our life.
In part one and two of this book, the introduction covered on the topic “Individual Behavior, Personality and Values”. I really love to read these two parts as I have learnt some of my personality traits which help me to find out what kind of job is more suitable for me. Part three of this book is the most interesting as it guides us on how to improve our teamwork. Most of us (first year students) sometimes have hard time to work in a team as miscommunication, conflict or disagreements among team members may happen. I do feel a big improvement in my team after we have learnt this part.
The last part which is part four is about Organizational Processes. It helps us understand all the basic structure of organization and how culture play an important part of improving behavior of workers as well as maintaining the standard performance in organization.
I hope you would spend some times to read this book. It is really meaningful and interesting. Hope you enjoy it J

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
I have always thought that movies are better to watch than animated films. I hold the same point for a long time until I saw this title. It is the best animation film in Japan 2006. Is that only reason for me to change my point? No. There are a lot of reasons. Now I want to share with you these three reasons.
The first reason is the animated style. The characters crafted are refreshing. We can see people’s face expression very clearly. The storyline is the second reason. It has a few elements- time and love woven with science fiction. The love between the two lead characters – 17 year old Makoto and Chiaki is both heart-warming and touching. Music is the last reason. The film has a fantastic music score that portray the mood of the movie aptly. The voice of the singer is special and moved people immediately.
So pick this up at the DVD corner now at library south and enjoy the show!

Makeup: The Ultimate Guide by Rae Morris
As much as I love makeup, I always prefer to step out of the house looking as natural as possible and keep my makeup to a minimal. However, during special occasions, my makeup seems to always be the same as my daily makeup. Hence, I find myself with palettes of eye shadows that I never seem to use.
Thus, with this book, I managed to be inspired by the various eye looks designed. Rae recreates high fashion looks and adapted them to everyday wear. There are simple to follow steps along with illustrations to guide you specifically. Rae emphasizes the importance of eye look because the eyes are the most powerful feature in the face and she believes it is the key to a successful application of makeup. Hence, she dedicate chapters to demonstrate which eye shadow colours suit particular eye colours, eye makeup for Asian eyes and even for matured skin.
In addition, this book covers the various tools that are essential to apply makeup including skin preparation, foundation, eyebrows, false eyelashes, bronzing and highlighting. Basically, there’s a section for every aspect of makeup with detailed descriptions as well as tips to help you understand the procedures of applying makeup better.
If you are interested in exploring makeup, don’t hesitate to borrow this book in the library and get creative!
