Lesson---Waiting

okay yeah, so it happened like this: me (loving the library so) went to borrow some books to devour and me eyes set upon a couple of decently thick books with a nice cover that caught my eye (yeah, that's the way I choose books, genius right? xD) so the books were book 1 and book 2 of a series and the 3rd book was just not there but never mind! I just finished 2 super thick (and super boring) books and the last book in that particular trilogy was slated to come out in 2014 (I don't even know if i'll look up that last book oh wellz)

so I'm "kinda" "used" to being denied the satisfaction of finishing a trilogy once, but the second I started on this new set of books (which are very good!) I couldn't put them down, lol, the book that I brought to read in my Chinese oral was one of these 2 books. so when I was done with the 2nd book I was desperate to get my hands on the last book (cause the author was really good in drawing out the suspense)

well....I went online to check NLB catalogue and it said that pasir ris library didn't have the book (duh, that's why I didn't get all books in the 1st place) but tampines library HAD IT.

so the Jerel rushed down the same day and frantically tried to find the book....the catalogue clearly said that it was there but reality said it was clearly NOT there.

after a frustrating time at the library...the Jerel went back empty handed. (this was just like 3 days ago)

so yesterday on the way home I popped by the library b4 it closed and OH YEAH PEOPLEZ! THE BOOK WAS THERE! so I grabbed it and went home and read to midnight and woke up early and read it somemore.

yeah, being "deprived" of something only makes getting it even more sweeter. (although where I first head that saying is another thing...[trigger word: restraining power from above])

actually I hoped to bring the book on fri, but at the current rate that its getting devoured....I don't think so.

so, lesson learnt here.~
