National Library

I went to the new National Library at Bugis today (Or at least i think it's the new National Library, very confusing 'cos they also call it Lee Kong Chian Reference Library). The building is really nice and the design is quite stylo. Me, being super blur went up 2 stories on the escalator before realising that the Library is in the basement! The upper stories seem to be theatres. Do we really need that many floors of theatres?? Me, I'd vote for floors and floors of books!!!

Anyway no choice, had to go back down, but I decided to go to the loo before I went back down. I had this theory that the toilets upstairs should be used by less people and therefore be cleaner. I like clean toilets ; ) Anyway the toilets are quite clean, but somehow a tad bit shoddy looking for new toilets, and the artsy mosiac design didnt really seem to match the space-age design of the building. Further more, the cubicle wall had yellow tiles and there's this piece of marble where u can put your bag, and it was black with slight white swirls. It totally didn't match!!

And I was off to the library! Oddly enough the shelves seem really empty compared to that of the Community Libraries and the old National Library. But I was really happy because I managed to find 3 books by Diana Gabaldon.

Warning!!The new library is really very cold!! I spent 45 mins there and I had the blue veins in my hands popping out, and after I walked out, my feet began to de-frost and hurt! So anyone else who's planning to go to the library to visit, be prepared!!
