perpustakaan!

guess where i went today! perpustakaan nasional! yeeeaaaayyyy!!! the one next to ratu plaza, the one in the departemen pendidikan building, yg nama 'gaul'nya library@senayan. hahaa norak si, tp who cares, i LOVE the place. i went there to search for a clockwork orange cause i've been craving that book more than anything in the word. i found like hlf a dozen other anthony burgess' books but they didn't have a clockwork orange. but i am sooooooo going back there to borrow the other anthony burgess books and maybe to study for UMB cause the place was so nice it just makes you wanna sit down with a book and study. hahaa.. the unique thing about library@senayan is that they have a tuna netra library which was uber cool. i kept saying sumpah ini keren bgt keren bgt keren bgt keren bgt because it really was keren BGT. i mean you don't get to see Eldest by christopher Paolini written in braille everyday do you? i mean, how many of you have actually seen a book written in braille? i once read that to write braille writings the books can be too thick so the writing wouldn't get squished and the paper becames flat again. the books that i saw were thick but they were really light. and the printed it double sided!double sided! i think it was amazing. i thought braille writing could only be printed one sided.

speaking about a clockwork orange, i mean i could always buy it from amazon.com. but kadang mintanya ga enak soalnya harga shippingnya suka ga manusiawi. hahaa. sayang klo cuma beli 1 buku dan shippingnya lebih mahal dr bukunya. and it's the thrill of the hunt that's so fun. what fun is it if you could just getting a click away. i've bought quite a few books from amazon in the past and come to think of it..... well here are the list of the books a bought in amazon and where they end up.

princess academy by shannon hale. it's still in my bookshelf. i've only read a chapter of it and i don't bother to continue.
tales from greek mythology or whatever it was called i can't remember. it's in my sister's bookshelf now and untouched. i gave it to her cause the books to childish and the illustrations are too modern for greek mythology.
genre and television. i bought it only for karya tulis and only used like 5 lines from the book.
south park conservatives bought it for karya tulis, ga kepake sama sekali. ga ada hubungannya sama south park.
the guide to narnia or whatever it was called. don't have a clue where it is now.
the complete world of greek mythology ini paling mending dr yg laen. but still it's too complicated me dan masih di pinjem caca. Cel, klo lo baca ini, tolong tanyain caca dong kapan mau balikin. hehee..


well intinya, all the books i bought in amazon ends up tragically. hahaa.. i don't believe in superstitions and i'm sure it was all just a coincidence but i'm still spending my holiday to hunt for a clockwork orange. the hunt is what makes it fun! but if i can't stand it any longer i will buy it in amazon and hope it doesn't end up like other amazon bought books. lol
