in 2007 in believed i bought a whole lot of books. its was the prefered way for me to spend $$. especially when i got my paychecks.. books were better than clothes.. books can be shared ( i love the fact that its value is maximised).. reread( though i dun often do that) and they look gd on the shelves..lol.. and when there was book sales, i was excitied. although some disappointed me, i still love going there.. like a treasure hunt, u never know wat u could walk away with.. and there is always something for every one.. differnt topics would remind me different pple, events...

i remember when i was young, my mom made it a habit to bring me and my bro to the public lib at bedok almost twice a week. i remeber that nostelgic well in the middle of the children's section that (stinked and) had children running around their parent's bags, booked all spread around to mark ur territory, silly gals gooing over baby sitters club,, me trying to find that asterix book which i have not read b4, and looking behind shelves for books hidden by other kids.. like squirrels.. i too try and hide some books..and yes. always forget where i hide them each visit..lol
one thing abt the well. is that .. there is always space for everyone.. at the edge, in the middle, along the steps.. or u can simple wait a min for pple to move home..
and in between the younger years, my parents would bring us on annual trips to book fairs.. which we always leave empty handed with..lol we just look.. and see.. no buy..lol but those was the times...

then when we got older and more involved with sch and internet, those lib trips become lesser.. and with my mom working in the lib.. we went there for differnt reasons.. lol.. to help or just to hang around.. and we never go book fairs anymore.. cos she is sick of books.. having to look at them everyday..

then in pri , sec and jc, i joined the sch's lib club, and as wat everyone noes.. its the slacker's club..but the pple there are fun still.. and slack of coures.. u just need the commitment..and geting 80 hr of cip at the local lib is easy as shit if u noe the right pple..lol and if u are bored after school...

and back to 2007 i bought more than $200 worth of books.. and last night was i was doing some research on marketing issues...i came across a few books.. which i went online to www.nlb.gov.sg 's categlog and foound that most books had most of them.. most bestsellers.. even ulu titles,, u name it.. prob its lieing in the sg library somewhere.. better than brasbasah :) and today i went to the library.. and borrowed 7 books! haha..

love books.. love lib.. love to smug up in bed and read till my eyes close.. wish i could learn speed reading.. then again.. i prob wouldn take so long to finish the boook.. well have to enjoy the process meantime! :)
