28 July 2005, Thursday

At NYP for receiving my graduation certification and attending the ceremony.

I booked out the night before, missed the 8pm fastcraft, missed the shuttle to interchange, missed the next SBS bus to pasi ris, alighted not at the idea bus stop, took a bus to Yishun, took a wrong bus again, landing me up at woodlands, took the MRT back and reached home 12 midnight.

I wished I had more time to talk to others and take photos but I had to rush back to book in 4.30pm (The company booked out to visit the NDP carnival and fired some SAR21 blanks). No matter how bad the day could be, I still manage to get some photos here ;-)

My "classmates". Lots of people were and werent there so it was hard to find everyone to take picture together.

Today I took a trip to visit the new National Library. Although its seems to be the biggest building for libraries in Singapore, you might be a little disappointed there. The main library is like the size of NTUC supermarkets found in shopping center basement.

Aligned at Doby dought, this the first time I noticed a number of photos of historic buildings on the walls underground. There I learnt some historic importance of Plaza Singapura, MPH, YMCA, National Library…

Thinking about it, Libraries and Reading was one my pastimes. My interest in programming spawn when I was 10 due to some programming books I stumbled at the then AMK Community Library.

After I moved to a new house in Yishun, the Linear distance between my home and library was no more than 50m.

From secondary days, I spent large amount of time (canteen breaks and after school time) in the library. In sec 2 to 4, I became a librarian there.

After secondary school, I must have made some effort visiting almost all NLB branches in Singapore at least once.

Some interesting books I stumped upon.

Some WWII books with photos.
