..of library n soto campur

i used to hv some sort of fear w libraries..

stern librarians.. overdue fines.. hushh.. keep quite.. ur not wearing a proper attire.. u cant bring this inside.. cynical smiles.. "baru 1st time dtg library ke?" .. "nk renew m'ship? tu kami da tmpl da direction.. nmpk tu.. haa.. ikut je anak panah tu yee".. humiliated.. lost in the library.. frustration..cud not find the book evn tho it's stated available in the OPAC.. found the book but the pages dat u want isnt there..torn.. the smell of aging paper.. too cold.. n the list goes on..

and that's the library dat i frequent.

suprisingly, none of that happened to me earlier today during my 1st visit to Lee Kong Chian Reference Library - Singapore National Library. i still hv those phobias.. so i asked napi to accompany me.. in case anything happen..xdela malu sorg2 kn? eheh.. n the buliding doesnt look lk a typical library.. u wud nvr know u're passing one



strategically located at victoria street beside bugis junticon..only 10 mins walk frm queen street bus station. which means

1. it wud only cost me rm1.80 frm larkin to go to the lib.45 mins without jam. imagine that! evn nk gi UM pn the lrt fare is much more than that.. ehehe
2. cud go shopping at bugis junction! hehe
3. ditto at tekka.. i cudnt resist the baking utensils that they hv ovr there.
4. 20mins mrt ride frm nek wan's at opera estate

first thing i did was asked them abt the procedure i shud take if i want to conduct my research there. they r more than helpful. evn asked if i need help to get started on my research..xie xie.. 2ndly.. i went to the library n info science section and was in great awe.. nvr in my life i see such huge collection of lib n info sc books n journals.. belek punye belek.. browse punye browse.. da nk dkt kol 2.. jd capai la ape yg dpt dulu.. perot pn da kelaparannn

pstttt... kite x sesat pn evntho the lib is HUGE!!! cume ask the direction to the photostate machine je..

aftr dat went to beach rd n FINALLYY i get to eat the soto!! i bought soto campur - ayam+babat+paru+hati.. wahaha.. punye la menikmati makanan.. smpai terabai napi kt seblah.. eheh.. langsung x bual pn.. sedapppppp!! SGD3.50 w begedil.. slalu kalo beli soto.. rencah2 die mcm x cukup.. kdg2 abis dulu dr nasi impit.. but dis one.. setiap suapan is a perfect bite.. ade nasi..ade taugeh..ade ayam/paru/babat/hati... licinnn.. nyam nyam

esk nk g lagi!! yeay! i mean to the lib.. tp nk gi mkn soto pn boleh jugak!
