whoa... one full week since i blogged... Lester's getting LAZY...
okay... was at the new bishan library ALONE today. thx to qixiang ans shuen lin who both pangshed me for thier own partners after sakaeing...
REVIEW:
Aesthetically pleasing, strategic location. quite accesible.
inside: loooks cool and hip. unfortunately simply lack of study space. NLB should have known better that its gonna be a hub for SO many schs and there are gonna be lotsa ppl studying there. but they were measely with their tables. they should have set aside a sector and flood it with tables! aniwae, by the time i went there. the place was quite filled. youth sector was dissappointing: lotsa colours but not much useful space. useless science gadgets too...
after some unsucessful scouting, i found the perfect place to study;
THE TOILET CUBICLE! serious.
Advantages: Good lighting, VERY spacious (as its the only cubicle in the whole toilet), high ceiling, cooling and a comfy seat. no noisy girls gossiping in the background, no distracting chiobus walking past, privacy. (there was no stench and it was extremely clean!).
disadvantages: relentless autoflush recurring every few minutes, the only writing platform is your lap.
HAH! as u can see, the advantages entirely outweigh the disadvantages. dun belief? check it out urself. i almost took out my compre to do, but thought it was rather inconsiderate to other desperate shitters.
anw, went down to the childrens sector. which was ironically the most peaceful level in the whole library. not much kids, a few smart students. so i made full use of this small cushion chair and started doing my GP. budden it started to get crowded and girls seating near me started chit chatting. den more kids appeared... zzzzz.... heng got iPod....
on the whole: pretty small, collection looks promising. alot of cosy corners if u wanna relax and read, but certainly not much space if ur in for fulltime mugging. avoid patronising during after school hours /weekends / public holidays / pre exam period. However, if u wanna do some people watching, thats just the right time to go. lotsa secondary school girls! (GRINS!)
oh well i'd prob go back to the same location to study the some time soon. anione care to join me?
