alright i'm going to blog about yesterday even though i really think i shouldn't talk about it in such a public space. but i'm going to anyway.

WAH SO SUSPENSE RIGHT.

the door leading to the third floor of the library does not close unless you pull it after you as you walk in from the staircase. you also have to push it as you exit from it. it's really annoying when people don't do this because you can hear various conversations from the stairwell, people walking up and down, having phone conversations and all; like all stairwells it's really echoey which makes it doubly annoying.

i couldn't take it anymore so i wrote this sign on winston's acjs paper which said

PLEASE PULL THE DOOR BEHIND YOU AS YOU ENTER; OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT CLOSE. THANK YOU :)

yes, i actually added the smiley face.

wei chin happened to have scotch tape with him so that was good, i stuck it on the side of the door leading from the staircase. i should have made a sign for people exiting too though. kong says i should have just put "SHUT THE FRIGGING DOOR!"

it did work, by the way. not all the time but a significantly higher number of people shut the door.

i don't know if the library admin staff have time to come online and google but i'm worried because the notice wasn't stamped? i don't want to be caught for vandalism - eh but please i was simply being civic minded? it's probably been removed by now but i hope they do something proper about it. this cannot go on!!

there was perfect running weather today, despite the slight drizzle - or because of it, perhaps. one of my friends came for his first cg of the academic year (i didn't even realise he was in my cg before), and i asked him what he was doing after and he was like "err i don't really know" so on a whim i just said "okay let's go running!". we almost didn't go because it started drizzling a little heavily but it cleared up so we just went - and it was fantastic cause we just decided to let the road take us wherever and we ended up running super far but it was really super shiok. we ran up to buona vista from kap, past acjc (yay) through portsmouth road (really pretty) and ended up at queensway, coming back to bukit timah through the estate behind the botanic gardens. "shiok" is really the only word to describe it properly. singapore is really much nicer slower and on foot, provided you've got the right company and a good pair of running shoes. and we stopped by the mcdonald's near commonwealth, the open air one, just to see if this cloth slide (do YOU remember it?) which he remembered was still there.
