Book Worm

Do you like to read? When I was a little girl, my grandfather bought me many books to instill the love of reading in me.

He bought me story books and I had free access to his library (which included books that were not suitable for young eyes hah...hah...).

My Kong-Kong was a voracious reader. He had books ranging from politics to science to fiction/science fiction, biographies, classics, the occult and yes, even some naughty stuff (which by modern standards is sleep inducing like Lady Chatterley's Lover. Yawn...) and many more.

My late grandfather's love for reading rubbed off on me and I read a lot but I stopped when I started working. I had no time to indulge in books because by the time I came home, I was brain dead.

But now, I have started reading again. It's good to stimulate my brain and keep up with lifelong learning.

I like to drop by the bookshop on my mall walks.

A good deal but I have many books which I need to finish first.

They have this series of Reality Date with a Book.

You don't know the title of the book. Only hints of what the subject matter is.

And then there is this Blind Date with a Book.

Same thing. Hints.

Would you buy a book like this? I won't because I want to know what I am buying.

There is a bakery cafe inside the bookshop.

I visited back in 2019 when they were at another location at another floor.

At the food court, I noted that La Fayette has opened an outlet here.

I am not certain if their cafe at the same row as The Ship will still remain open.

I visited their other outlet in 2022 but was not impressed.

Then I went downstairs.

The Hari Raya decorations and kiosks have been removed but it was soon to be filled up and bustling again.

At the La Gourmet shop, they were promoting this Emerald Hill collection. The Emerald Hill mini series is currently playing on Netflix. I remember watching The Little Nyonya with my partner a few years ago. Emerald Hill is some sort of a spin off.

My recent dinner. Steak, eggs and kimchi.
