1 more day to Twilight the movie, sadly in the US.
After the US countdown is over, I'll be getting the Twilight countdown clock from my cousin. Time to countdown in Singapore. Less than 1 month and counting.
Yesterday, with an anticipating mood, I went to the newly open Yishun library @ Northpoint. Sure, it is bigger than before and has more shelves. What was extremely disappointing is the lack of books.
What's with the rows and rows of shelves when only an average of less than 10 books occupy one row?
I simply can't understand the concept here.
It's not that I'm fussy or anything, out of the 7-8 authors' novels I'm looking for, I got ZERO returns. Not even one book by one of the authors was available.
Anyway, I just randomly took books.
Must I really go reserved the books I want? It's $2 per reservation. I can't possibly reserved all the books, can I? I'll be broke.
In a way, it's obviously so much cheaper to reserve some of these books than to buy them. But, then again, if I must spend money on these books, I would rather pay at full price and get to keep them.
And, perhaps it's the school holidays or because Singaporeans like new stuff, the library, for once, was filled with people and young children. Not that it's a good thing. The library was not exactly that noisy but not quiet too.
I don't know. Think I'll give a few weeks for the library to settle this lack of books problem. I really hope this is temporary: the rise in number of library-goers and the lack of books.
