library


im sitting in a reading room in national library (bras basah).

the building is quite big. white. see through building with big pieces of glass as the wall. about 15 floors. cold and quiet. a LOT LOT of books categorized as they should. i cannot describe all because its my first time to this library. many people here, either young - college students or old ones. the library has free interenet connection but we have no idea why my bro's laptop could not connected to the wireless connection. so i need to activate my 3g connection (waaksss.. .. it should be freeeeee .. )

in front of me theres a 50es lady. she's been there for an hour, reading a book purple pocket book, the title is "..of mind". she received a call and she tells where she is "im in reading table". then came an old man, as old as she is. she shows him the book happily and they both went. another girls sitting beside me were art/design students. they discuss softly about the design they are making in their laptops. one of them do the design, and the other one holding an art reference book and sometimes writing.

things i'd like to do in a library were not to browse programming or it stuffs. its boring! hehehe. i prefer to crafts book or photography or things like that. last time i found books about making candles. and i will find later on .. about paper making, making ceramics/pots, editing in photoshop, etc, and many more about crafts :)

its free to enjoy all the books here. or explore the cyber world full of knowledge. or spend the whole day reading. or enjoy the quietness. of course membership will give you much more. but being in the world of knowledge is tempting :p

2 chronicles 1:11-12 says :
"God said to Solomon, "since this is your heart's desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. and I will also give you wealth, riches and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have."
