Library Madness
Friday, September 08, 2006
Libraries are scary places.
I never stepped in one during my school days... Not to study anyway... I'd use the library to zap notes, check mail, surf the net, and do subject registration... Anything BUT study... The atmosphere was always too quiet and too tense for me... the brain would stop functioning... which probably also explains why i never did that well in exams... same atmosphere... eeks! (of cos, it could also be the fact that i could never find a good place to study anywhere else either...)
but anyway, today's experience takes the cream.
It's proven that libraries are truly scary places.
I forced the Daddy to drag me out of bed early in the morning so that I can head down to the library to work (read: free public wireless)... Otherwise i'd sleep till 10 and feel like trash for not doing anything... I had breakfast with the Daddy and the Sister and headed down to the Library@Bugis...
Reached at about 830am... Didn't know that the study lounge only opens at 9am... But guess what I saw?
There were about 15-20 very hardworking students sitting outside the lounge, waiting for it to be opened...
By the time it was 8.58am, there were about 40-50 of them... Everyone stood up when a library staff came around to check the room, and stayed standing even when the staff left and closed the door behind him...
9am... the electronic door unlocked by itself... the crowd RAN IN
and by 9.02am... I couldn't get a seat at a table... Got stuck sitting at the sofas... My only consolation is the power point next to me, for when my lappie runs out of batt...
I have the strangest suspicion that this room is the most crowded place in the entire NLB Central. 'cept maybe for the theatre when there's a performance... but that's different... The management should consider expanding the room and extending the opening hours... A couple of extra vending machines would be cool... I'm sure they can figure out a way to make it more economically viable... Surely the crowd must mean something to them??

Loft Status
Monday, September 04, 2006
Ok, a lot of people who have visited the loft before have been very concerned about its current status.
After staying up till 4am, packing and moving things around, I'm pleased to report that the loft now looks... GHASTLY
I think my loft has lost its soul... No more pretty silver things... No more interesting displays... Now it's just some unused space... ugh...
It was also a little upsetting to find out in the morning that the painters are doing the exterior of the house first before painting the interior, and that i had another 3 more days to clear out the loft.
ahhh... (too tired to scream)
But still, the job is done... and appreciations are still in order...
我要感谢我的妈妈，我的爸爸，我的姐姐.. ok no, i'm kidding...
Thanx to MC... for hanging around THE ENTIRE TIME to tahan my whining and my complaints... the endless cries of "it's never gonna be done!!!". Always helpful to have a friend in another time zone...
Thanx to D... for staying up until 330am cos she had no school on mondays... Oh! and for being the new stalker to my blog and describing Kay as the scruffy guy... t'was a funny conversation...
Thanx also to Kay... even though he slept at 1am... for the sake of his students... but who promises that if not for school, would have stayed up to give moral support too...
Oh! And here's the reason i can't send out resumes...
the Recruit section has been used to wrap my table and protect it from paint... *snigger*
a Stella joke

At the dinner table...
Preggie Sis (PS): Opps
Husband of Preggie Sis(HPS): What happened?
PS: Some tomato shot out of my mouth.
HPS pretends to wipe his face of tomato for extended length of time. PS & HPS laughs.
Non-preggie Sis (NPS) picks up PS's drink. Sips. Looks at drink again
NPS: Hey, there's something swimming in the drink
PS looks
PS: Oh, it's the tomato that spat out of my mouth.
Everyone: Ewww...
NPS looks like she's gonna gag
Boyfriend of Non-Preggie Sis (BNPS): Hey, maybe it reached Stella and came up again!
Everyone: EWWW...
NPS looks like she's gonna be sick and smacks BNPS
