MythBusters, Football and I Need New Books

Another day, Another time where I can blog.

As a child, I was an avid viewer of the Discovery Channel. I didn't know why, it was always surprising and very informative whenever I keep watching it. I suppose I had a weird sense of entertainment then :)

With the knowledge I got from shows like MythBusters and How Its Made, I remember going around the household telling about all sorts of facts and stuff. I remember how irritated my brother was, he had only wanted a decent game of football (on the PS2 of course!). Ah, how I enjoyed the MythBusters. They were so enthusiastic about their job, and they made it look like its a heck-load of fun. And also, made Science look like its fun. And it actually is!! :)

Which reminds me of one important thing. Whenever a guy says "Lets play some football", you'd think he'd mean the actual game. But to my dismay, he was referring to playing it on the old PS3. O,O

I mean, I see this as a new trend, now people seem to quit the physical game and simply go play it virtually. What has happened to this beautiful game ? Well, aside from the recent FIFA scandal, it seems that people are becoming more couch-potato-ish than ever before. Some say blame fast food, others say they are just being lazy. God knows how this problem could be solved! :(
My first Famous Five Book. I need more!

Now, drifting from the above topic, I'm glad to say that I've finally finished reading my first ever Scholarly History Book!!! Yes, I managed to finish the 600 paged A History of the Modern Middle East , by the late William Cleveland. It was absolutely brilliant, I have to say. That comes from me, A teen that loves History :)
It has taught me so much on my Middle Eastern Heritage.

Which also leaves me pondering, I need new books. And since I'm in the mood for some fiction, perhaps I should finally get some Famous Five books ?

What? I absolutely liked those books during my younger years. They helped portray the image of young and energetic youths. If only Bahrain had the moors and hills, the rivers and fens of the British :(

Well, I'll try to get some new Famous Five books :)

 You can never outgrow the classics, like Mr. Bean and such :D

Thanks for reading, and goodbye for now.
