Losing

I am feeling a bit down lately. One of my favourite bookstores is closing down and if I am not wrong, they are not going to relocate and will exit totally from the Singapore market .

Bookstore is an escapade for me. There is a special relationship I have with books, I find them very interesting, full of knowledge waiting for me to explore.

Only if you are like me, you will never understand this special feeling. It cant be described, it is like a magical connection, you want to pick them up and read through from cover to cover, you want to know a lot about them, each and everyone.

This is why I miss TaiPei so much ... the 24-hour eslite bookstore I often visit past midnight, and how I spent my time over a few good books and a great cup of coffee, and for that few hours, noone could disturb me, me and those books.

Commercial Press over at The Cathay will shut its door by end of this month. This is where I spent a great deal of my time many mornings ever since I moved to Mount Sophia since last July.

Many mornings I spent time going through a few pages before I headed to the office, this has formed a good part of my life in Singapore the last few months.

I am going to miss this real soon.
