THE LIBRARY


Like any dad, I am proud of my boys. Other guys have may have their ATV's or super bikes but I am proud of my eldest boy. He is full of the hormone that makes life worth living-testosterone. He is big, tough, naughty, likes guns, enjoys wrestling and punching me, loves jungle and river trekking and is brave.

He is probably a dying species in today's politically correct world of metro sexual males.

He also has another side to him, he loves reading. He cant have enough of books. He likes all of them; storybooks, gun books, animal picture books. Children's books today can cost a bit nowadays.

We enrolled him as a member of the national library and have been frequenting for two Sunday's in a row. Its easy, you can walk in and read or become a member instantly if you want to borrow books.

The kids section is impressive, there are tons of books to choose from and plenty of sofa's to sit and read them. Yup, sofas like those in your hall. Wife and I just take turns reading to him and leave after and hour or two with a few of his favourite books.

It beats spending a Sunday morning in the mall or at home watching t.v. I hope he remembers such trips when he grows up.

Kudos to the staff and the government for maintaining such a place that's free for all Malaysians.
