Saturday, September 21, 2002 From Friday Five:

1. Would you say that you're good at keeping in touch with people?
Not really. I would like to, but I don't.

2. Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why?
Email, and meeting up in person. I hate hate hate my cell phone, esp having to receive (and thus reply via) text messages on the phone. I should never have gotten it. I use it for a clock/watch/alarm now. I just dread it when the phone rings, and it's not someone I want to hear from.

3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it?
Erm.. 2 I think. MSN Messenger and Yahoo. I use MSN more often as my friends are all on it. I don't even remember why I got Yahoo at all. I have ICQ too, but havent used it for ages.

4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away?
Nearby. But we dont meet as often as i'd like as we are all too busy. A big regret/ pity.

5. Are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"?
Yes I am. Sad to say. But of cos there are exceptions :)

A new Library branch opened in town and I went to check it out with my friend. I love it! It's georgeous! It only has Film, Music, Dance titles so it is a pretty small Library. But the selection is pretty cool. The part that appeals the most I guess is that you can actually rent 4 DVDs a week for only S$20.60 a year. That is DIRT cheap!
Also we were really excited about the music selection cos we found, to our utmost surprise, the library actually has Promise Ring, Radiohead, The Anniversary etc. Amazing! We didnt get to see much cos there were so many people around though. But this definitely has hangout potential in the future.

The new Library is situated in this building right next to the River and it was really nice to go there after and just enjoy the breeze.
However, there was this guy sitting next to us who i s taking pictures on his digital camera of the water (!!!) He's just taking pictures of the fishes I think. But it was like 8 something already. Even with flash, I dont think the pictures will come out right. Maybe he's just bored.
