Textbook Giveaway

Hello everyone! I plan to give away the texts I've studied for the 2016 Literature in English SPM paper. I want to give these books away rather than recycling(or using them at a bonfire) because I personally went through a lot of trouble to source for them and it would be a shame to waste them if someone else were in my predicament. Poetry Short stories Novel Drama I had only kept them around in case I ever needed to refer back to them for additional analysis. However, I feel that I have shared all my knowledge and it would take a lot of effort to extract anything new so... yeah, in a way, this is the end of this blog =( I've always encouraged the taking up this subject for it is something very different to the other traditional subjects and brings many new perspectives to life. Perhaps this is the main reason I had put such effort into running this blog; so that students with passion are not deterred from a lack of studying materials. And I'm pr...

Update

Hey guys! So I've been in college for over a month now and it's great to see that there is some increased traffic to this site despite the inactivity on my part. I've been really really busy as the learning experience is quite different to that of high school (read: no extra tuition and a lot more making and remaking notes). However, I understand that midterms exams are almost upon you guys (which is, by the way, quite important if you plan on applying for scholarships) so I'll try to post up the Merchant of Venice as soon as possible. If you guys have any questions or requests at all, do leave a comment or you can email me directly. Please don't be shy; I have a fair bit of knowledge but no idea what to share it all without pointers. It's gotta be a two-way street, yea? Cheers and good luck, ya'll Regards, Bugga P.S. I'm taking Literature in English in A-Levels and I must say, it's awesome. P.P.S. I'm happy to help share some advi...

About me

Hey guys, I am a recent high school graduate and a survivor of the horror show, also known as the 2016 SPM examinations. And yes, I am also one of the few who took Literature in English. In fact, I was the only candidate from my school for this subject and to be honest, I'm rather proud of that. The idea to start this blog came up when I was in the midst of sorting through my notes post-SPM. I couldn't exactly bear to throw everything I had away, considering the effort I made into procuring and making these notes in the first place. I'm not from a privileged school where resources for this subject are easily available. I had trouble finding a teacher and my eventual private(and expensive) tutor had no more clue about this niche subject than I did. So, I decided to share whatever I have managed to procure within the last eighteen months leading to the three-week hell to help out everyone out there who is in the same predicament as I was. While there are also many ...
