Baiography: Have you been READING??

When is the last time you step into the library and actually borrowed a book to read?? Haa! The last time I stepped into the library was donkey years ago, during Poly times if I can recalled.

I think the National Library Board (NLB) has gone thru lots effort to cultivate us (young adults, teenagers, children and even senior citizens) to pick up reading as a Hobby! I'm in love with the Library lately & lucky me, Tampines Library is just at my door step.

Quick Facts about the new NLB!

Do you know you can throw away your library card? Because now you only need your IC to borrow books.
Do you know borrowing/ returning of books are all computerised now? You need not queue to borrow books from the fierce-looking aunties behind the counters.
Do you know 1 NRIC can borrow up to 12 books? Geez! who can read that volume..
Do you know loan period is only 3 weeks? You'll get fine if you exceed the loan period. Fine as low as $0.10 per day. And you can pay your fine via internet. AMAZING!
Do you know there's a search engine within NLB website? Now you can search your fav read across entire Singapore Libraries?
Do you know you can set up an online account with NLB? Which enables you to perform activities such as reservation and transferring books from other library to the one nearest to you?
Do you know that you can even renew your book online without entering the library? Gosh! You've been losing out quite abit here.
Do you know NLB website? http://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/ Here you go & be a book worm with me!! =D

Of cos I yet to be a bookworm totally! I still in love with searching for yum-mi-licious food!
Let me introduce a newly opened Ramen store, located at Tanjong Pagar.

Store name very straight forward, Ramen!! You're see these white flags along the street, catching your attention from the train station.

The store serves traditional Japanese ramen, with limited favours. So what so special about them? Other than it's competitive price, range from $10.80 to $15.80 for a huge bowl (this is the most important factor), the other X-factors are the complimentary:

They offer sesames for your ramen soup! an additional titch of aroma to it.. They also serves FREE flow of Japanese onsen eggs! All you can eat!! =D

They also gave bonito flakes, my first time seeing bonito flakes in Ramen.

Lastly, the Japanese chef too adjusted his Ramen to Singaporean's liking such as you can request for less oil, more vegetables and the texture of your noodles; be it soft, hard or normal!

=) Do give it a try! I will recommend you to ask for NO oil instead of Less Oil.. The store is located Level 1 of Orchid Hotel at Tanjong Pagar, exit towards International Plaza and you'll see it!
