acquisition in process

Made a trip to the library today and it was such an enriching experience. I cannot recall when i last had the luxury of time to retreat into a cozy couch, have a cup of ice-blended mocha and indulge in a good read. I was lost in wonder of acquiring knowledge and discovering amazing things of the world. All in the comfort of my friendly neighbourhood Sengkang Library. SK library isn't exactly the best library in town, but it suffices as:

a) It has Cafe Galilee that serves Ice-Blended Mocha at unbelievable $3.50.
b) It has a huge comfy couch that is strategically situated at a secluded corner of the library, making it cozy and private.

And so there i was, on a rainy day, spending hours in a world that transcends green uniforms, array of broken languages sprinkled with hokkien vulgarities and the bleak reality of my far far away ORD date. Well, at least, this long long 19-day block leave that ends only on 10th Jan has indeed been miraculous and timely. What a blessing!

I was supposed to read my ‘Chronicles of Narnia’, but I couldn’t resist picking up a few magazines and books off the shelves…

Of the many things I discovered, I just learnt that:

1. We’d think Pigeons fly using routes that are shortest and most energy saving, but no. They actually follow lines such as rivers, railway lines and even our human roads.

2. That humans are not the only ones that use tools. Animals such as monkeys have been observed to use rocks to smash nuts.

3. That Time magazine reported that one of the ways that can effectively cause happiness in man is Thanksgiving. (So give Thanks always to God.)

4. Some ways to being entrepreneurial.

5. Fortune Magazine’s top 500 companies, Wal-mart being the top. Despite that, it’s currently facing problems of disloyal workers.


On the LRT, on my way
to the library. Dark
dark weather.


In 10 min, the sky changed
to this! Weather these
days are strange. Real
strange isn't it?

Such an adventure, I will hit the library real soon once again.


‘Area-Cleaning’

Spring cleaning I mean. Too much of army did this to me. Ha. Spent some time of my block leave cleaning up and Voila! Spanking clean room! Injects such expectancy for 2006!


Clean eh? Im quite proud
of myself! Great things in
06 shall start brewing
from home, my room.


Favourite edge of my room.
Place where great ideas are
birthed.




Yum! My personal
collection of food for that
grey matter of mine.
Lastest addition: 'The
Chronicles of Narnia'!.

I want to get 'The World is Flat' next month. hmm..
