Where I go to do my revisions last time

When I was young, I was crazy enough to join the crazy teens in Ipoh to wake up bright and early on weekend mornings, take the public bus to the main station in Medan Kidd and walk all the way from there to Tun Razak Library just so to be one of those early birds before it opens. That happened for like, 2 years? I think?

The walk was so blardy far! And most times I would be carrying almost all my text books, that would be, say, 9 subjects for SRP exam? And I didn't see myself doing any better in that exam either. Shucks! Really dumb, I would say!

BUT, I have to admit, of course there were other agenda.

One of them was just so to enjoy the aircond. Free aircon wor! Where to get? Most of all just plop our heads on the desks to snooze, especially after lunch.

Secondly, I have to admit, I was there to ogle at a Leung-Chiu-Wai-lookalike. He really was almost 80-90% similar, no kidding! He was so so handsome, and studying the boring subjects seemed so much more... inspiring!

Of course he didn't know that I secretly admire him from afar. But he did know my brother. I was too timid to approach him. When he was nearby, I would have butterflies fluttering wildly in my tummy. Once I even followed him when he went out for lunch. It was so exciting. I dared myself to join him at his table when I saw him alone eating his lunch but I chickened out. In the end, when I did, he finished his lunch and gave me a smile as I went near. Awww.. that totally melted my knees already. And I kicked myself in the butt for not having the balls to just do it earlier.

And usually, most of us, these studious and cheap bookworms, would spend the whole day from 8am, before the the library even opens its doors till it closes, I am not sure at what time. I usually call it a day before night falls. Isn't that crazy? Now that I think about it, I think it's insanity!

Wonder if anyone still does that in that popular public library of Ipoh anymore? Memories....
