This evening I visited Tampines Regional Library in search for Haruki Marukami or Marilyn Todd books but to no avail. And I would keep hanging around the MUR and TOD sections just to check if anyone or the librarian has put in a new book there, I would go back there so many times I think the people who are sitting around those sections must be very irritated with my pacing around them. Urgh, Tampines library has a very limited variety of books :( so next time I'm going to try Bedok, Pasir Ris or Marine Parade. Maybe the National library too, haven't been there for a long time - but I think I'll be going there often when I start school at SMU since it's so nearby, heh.Anyway, visiting TRL today was very nostalgic. Seeing so many teenagers studying/doing homework/checking handphones/listening to music at the study tables and flipping through their notes and practising mathematical sums really brought back memories of my mugging for the prelim exams and A'levels... Reminiscing the constant search of an empty table (preferably in the corner of the room); but in the end always having to share tables with teenage couples or uncles reading newspaper in the middle of the room -.- I can remember feeling their stares on me when I take out my maths or chem TYS and calculator/periodic table from my bag and trying very hard to ignore them and focus on my work. Not an easy feat. I remember feeling very frustrated over 3D trigo and tearing out foolscap after foolscap paper because I couldn't stand my untidy scribbling. Wah... damn nostalgic man. Today I kept glancing into the same room I always studied in and tried to imagine me as one of those students studying haha gosh. (: It seemed like just yesterday....... but it has been over 6 months ago o.O Just another reminder of how time FLIES.
And it's Friday already!!! Primary, secondary schools, polytechnics and JCs are reopening next Monday already....... lucky for me mine opens in August, ha.
