Title: Siri Klik Untuk Kaya: Blog, Blogger, Blogging
Author: Rosli Jamal
ISBN: 983-2334-83-7
Number of pages: approximately 208 pages
This is another book on blogging written in Bahasa Melayu by Malaysia’s very own Rosli Jamal.
The book is rather basic, in a sense that it pretty much covers the same thing as what other similar books for bloggers-to-be covers. I guess, main advantage is that it is in Bahasa Melayu. Definitely a plus point for folks whose first language is not English.

Venturing into the world of photography, I find myself very much interested in the area of strobing and speedlights. Granted, I’m pretty much a beginner in that area (aren’t we all), but I am intrigued with things you can achieve with speedlights (flashes).

Title: The Richest Man in Babylon
Author: George S. Clason
ISBN: 0-451-20536-7
Number of pages: approximately 144 pages
This is another book that I’d categorise as a must-read. Even though the book was written a long time ago, started in 1926 as a series of informational pamphlets, the principles are useful and applicable today nonetheless.
Bear in mind though that the way this book is written, it may present as quite hard to understand due to the use of classic English (to a certain extent).
The author talks about a number of timeless principles on how to get rich through stories and parables of the ancient Babylon. Many of the ideas presented are amazingly simple, yet most of us are not aware of them, thus sealing our fate to be cursed with a financial disaster.

Title: The Automatic Millionaire: A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich
Author: David Bach
ISBN: 978-0-141-01992-5
Number of pages: approximately 195 pages
The Automatic Millionaire is an easy-to-read book written by David Bach. The book is actually catered for UK and US readers but principles laid out in the book can in fact be copied and adjusted in accordance to your own circumstances.
The book is basically about how you can just dump the usual “budget-adherence” strategy and adopt a strategy that is much easier to follow instead, to achieve financial freedom.
What strategy is it? Well, make everything AUTOMATIC. For example, making contributions to your “nest egg” automatic by implementing Standing Instuctions (SI) on your salary account.

My Story: Lim Goh Tong
I just finished reading another book today entitled ‘My Story’. It was written by non other than our very own Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, the brain behind Genting Highlands. The book is about his journey from rags to riches. He talked briefly about his childhood and his earlier projects. A big part of the book was concentrated on his Genting idea.
I have to say, I like this book very very much. Easy to read and very inspirational.
Here are some quotes and phrases from the book that I have to share with all of you.

I’ve just finished reading a book entitled Teh Hong Piow: A Banking Thoroughbred. For those who do not know who Tan Sri Dato Sri’ Teh Hong Piow is, he is the Chairman and Founder of Public Bank.
The book was produced to celebrate Public Bank’s 40th Anniversary and Tan Sri Teh’s admirable achievements.
The book was written without consulting Tan Sri Teh himself. Rather, the author of the book, Datuk Paddy Bowie, compiled bits and pieces of Public Bank’s history, accompanied with numerous amount of testimonials from Tan Sri Teh’s peers.
