I really have something to share with you.
Today I went to floating book fair at Swettenham Pier.
When I heard that a ship which will organize a book fair, I was interested !
It was because I had never been on board before, so I said 'Yes' to this trip.
Here is an outlook of it(the ship)
Wow, so many foreigner !
It was my first impression when on board. No wonder I was told that there is a total of 400, yes, it's 400 of volunteers up there!
And, the happiest thing was I got the chance to catch a glimpse on those 'white colour' people. It's not that i treat people according to their skin colours by just that the foreigners gave me a feel of modernness, dynamics and excitement.
But, but, but, because of my own foolery, shyness, I lost the chance to interact with them. So bad...
However I have to say that this was a good experience.
As you support this kind act(by donation or buying goods or volunteer your help), you feel that you done something great, something nice and get to learn from life.
On the ship, there will be a short brief on the cause their support and how the ship functions with volunteers' help at first.
Then you get to look into a wall of photos talking about the history of this great act. How a great idea born.
Next, you will walk into a space of about two classrooms which filled by books and books. Oh yeah, about the purchase it is using Logos Hope unit, if i wasn't mistaken 500 Logos Hope unit is RM8.
So get use of yourself to mountains of book =) I sure you will like it as it's consist of books from every corner of world.
There are also caps, notebooks, key chains which got Logos Hope logos.
I was touched and willing to buy some of them but I don't have the changer needed to own those stuffs(money). But never mine, window shopping is a habit we should get on as economic is not encouraging now.
Soon you will get into a story of life. It's like walking in a tunnel with pictures which bring out a positive message(this is the best I could describe as my english is still under probation ).
Last, you will get into a cafe room which sells refreshments.
There will be some crewmen who pro in magic to entertain you guys.
Last but not least, I hope anyone who read this can go for a visit when the ship, Logos Hope is in your country or as well as the other partner ships, namely Doulos, Logos II, Logos.
For penangites, tomorrow is the last day before it departs for Klang so don't miss your chance !
