National library

I dropped by at school today, before going to the national library. For the past few days, i've been thinking of ging there to see how the place is. Well, after getting there by bus and alighting at a bustop at bugis mrt which seemed familiar since i passed by it when we were doing pre-u seminar filming. After searching around, i found the place. I first went up the escalator, dollowing my instinct, only to find that the bookshelves were not there. It didn't take me long to figure out that the 'central lending library' was at the basement, something i couldn't have imagined. Yeah, the place was pretty big, but what is surprising is that while the reference sections of theis national library are several time the size of the ' normal' sections. I started with the 'foreign newspapers' section. I was just browsing through some of the newspapers. Found an interesting article, 'scary flight' on this New Zealand newspaper, which talked about a plane traveller's worst fears, like having a mother with a crying child/ a drunk, etc sitting beside you. Something that i must read before boarding the plane on dec10th. I was also reding some articles in the guardian and the new york times.
Also, there was the crossword puzzles, which i loved in the US newspapers. They were mathematical!!! they were called soduku or something like that. I couln'd work on them, so i decided to come home, do a search on the internet, print out a few and start on them. Should be quite fun. In the midst of reading these interesting stuff, i felt hungry, so decided to grab some bites at the breadtalk nearby. Oh ya... i also met Pei Yu at the library. After eating, i went back, but this time to the reference section, which was several stories above the normal one. I had to put my bag in a locker(free, compulsary) before i can get in. They had a very wide selection of mathematical/scientific magazine. Believe it or not, there was this magazine just for hyperbolic differential equatuions! YeS! that was the name of the magazine! I was on a monthly basis, i think. It contained research papers, quite mind-boggling. I also read some indian and chinese literature( they were bothe in english). After that, i went to browse through the other sections on that floor. I saw the Principia book, but since it was getting late, i could only look through a few of its pages. Then, i went up to the other ref. section, but it was on economics and arts. So, i wasn't very interested in them and i also didn't have the time to stay on. That's all for today.

AND i got my marathon photos!!! here:

wait.. maybe later, i'm having some trouble uploading
Also, i found out another thing: blogger is trying to move from the old to the new beta thing. They say that it'll take a month or so. So, should be quite normal to expect abnormal things during this period.First, the toolbar disappered, but now it's back:) but Now, i can't upload pics...It says 'We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request'. nvm, maybe later
