Hadnt been blogging for a week
So now i'm back with 2 entries at a go haha

Doulos was a disappointment
It's the cruise that goes around the world selling books.
A novelty. Sure i doubt many Singaporeans had bought books onboard a ship. Little wonder why so many people braved the sweltering heat & boarded the cruise on a hot friday afternoon.

But the collection of books was too meagre, the place looked much smaller then what i saw in the newsapers & tv. Quite disapointed at the lack of variety of books~ A large part of that small space available was dedicated to books on Christianity, since i'm neither a Christian nor interested in Religious studies, i gave that section a miss. Childrens' section took up another chunk of space, since i arent a kid anymore, there's no point loitering there as though i'm looking for books for my non-existent little sister. So, i left the place empty-handed, really didnt find anything that i want to buy~ Sigh

I headed for Vivocity instead. Page One bookshop's NICE! haha it's spacious & boosts a huge collection of magazines & books (esp Chinese books). I bought a taiwanese magazine & was surprised to see my purchase being presented to me in a NICE green paper bag. Wow! Love the simply designed yet classy paper bag.
