Rendezvous at NLB

For the first time since the Central Lending Library opened, I have not ventured further than its basement 1, which I would head straight for all these while. On Sunday, dearie and I went up to the 8th storey and spent the entire noon in its business and arts reference section. I got my hands on the Watson Wyatt’s publication which I felt was the best publication I have had the opportunity to go through thus far. The survey that was done is relevant to my research paper and after having spent 4 hours perusing through it and typing it out into a summarized report of my own, I am now sure of what information I want to capture and how I am going to structure my survey.

Dearie kept me company through the entire afternoon and was the chocolate dispenser, discreetly popping m&ms into my mouth. Next time we’re going to bring a bigger bag of it!! =P

The ambience of the library is conducive for reading and learning. I liked the light that filled the library with glow and warmth.(the air-con got colder in the late noon) the collection of books is comprehensive and I will definitely return to do more reading. It’s a good escape from the usual distractions at home – bed, television, running shoes. I could just read, process the information and make sense out of what I read. Thumbs up for the national library board! (now could you please write off the fine outstanding? Grins)

I hope I haven’t bore dearie much as he patiently stayed beside me till I finished doing reading. Thank you for your time. I truly appreciate it.
