Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

i never knew that there were so many singaporeans who loved reading.
i wonder why i never see such queues at libraries...

went down to the NLB bookfair this morning.
didn't expect to find any book in particular, but just wanted to go for the fun of it...
THE QUEUE WAS SO SUPER LONG.
you had to queue all the way to the end of the expo just to go in...

decided to wait for the queue to dissolve.
figured that it would take less hassle than if i queued up...and that i would not have to wait that long anyway.
bad judgement.
good thing we eventually joined it like regular singaporeans do...instead of sitting around to find that out that the queue was going to take longer thatn expected to dissolve...

however, something good came out off waiting beforehand...
i managed to get the book i wanted without even having to step into the place!

i was sitting near the queue observing the people in it...when suddenly....ELSIE appeared!
called out to him and was glad to have found a companion through all this.
think he felt the same way...
asked him about what he was getting and stuff and also managed to find out that his dad has a couple of chesterton books lying around at home!
woohoo!

i see providence in this....
that i found out about the fair.
that i was able to go.
that i went.
that i waited.
that he came later.
that we bumped into each other.
that he had what i wanted.
but i don't know what all this is leading to.
just have to wait and see i guess....

we joined the queue after waiting for a while then explored the place for an hour or two then left for lunch.
pleasant afternoon.
i got some weird books that i only got cause they were cheap.

but that is only secondary, for in this...a greater triumph has emerged!
can't wait to get the stuff...told him to drop off the books at EH the next time he's there..

happy birthday to my bro.
14 and growing ever rounder.=)
