The Resources

As mentioned in the previous post, the virtual museum will mainly focus on the Chinese blue and white porcelains. But I couldn't find much info on the Desaru Shipwreck. The resources (history, textures, measurements, etc.) would be a problem for me. I went to the bookstore in the Muzium Negara, hoping to get some useful books.

And I found these 3 books that are related to what I want to do. But guess what, they are seriously very very very very very expensive!!!!!
1. The Wanli Shipwreck and Its Ceramic Cargo - RM280
2. Maritime Archaeology and Shipwreck Ceramics in Malaysia - RM230
3. Mysteries of Malaysian Shipwrecks - RM120

I can really felt a pain in my heart when I saw the prices... It's hurt you know? Gotta tighten my belt... T_T

If I am rich, I gonna buy 3 of them. Yea, only if I am rich. But I am just an ordinary student who has spent all the extra allowance that was earned during the intership lol... So after flipped through the books, I came into a conclusion.

"Let's be specified, and focus only on the Wanli Shipwreck!!! All of the resources that you need are in that book. Yes, ALL-IN-ONE!!! Though it's the most expensive among all, but you just need to spend RM 280 instead of RM630. Banzai~!!!"

So there you go~ My very first investment for this FYP.
You can have a look of its contents here.
