it's my 2nd time here, sitting at this particular spot in the NIE library. What's good about this place? It's often vacant. There is hardly anyone sitting near you and sometimes, i just need that space to be alone and not continuously bump into familiar people. hmm hmm. I'm actually right in the middle of a testing, whether i can secretly eat in peace here, without detection. I've got absolutely scrumptious baguette snack that i bought at the NIE co-op. rather expensive at 2 bucks but very shiok and so crunchy. beats an ordinary pack of chips anytime. plus, it has a handy sticky strip for you to seal the packet and its natural goodness. mmm mm..lastly, there's an edward hopper painting (the one to your left) and i'm glad for its company. i like his stuff and how he articulates urbanism and the isolation/ loneliness that lingers in his work like "chopsuey" and "nighthawk". but his nature paintings are good too. btw, the painting on the wall is called "house and boats". wonder what possessed the librarians to select this painting in the first place...
