ok, i went to kinokuniya yesterday.
actually, i went to kino at taka on friday's night, and had to
switch several mrt lines just to get to orchard station (it's 6:00
PM+ and CROWDED like hell at MRT stations like 3rd world country).
i took the lift at taka to go to kino at 3rd floor and when i came
out, saw the entrance closed and a sign saying there's
renovation.
Got a smaller sign next to it that says "Use the main entrance
via escalator".
i didn't see that and assume kino closed for renovation
long-term, so i got angry as hell and cursed the store.
then, on Sat, i went Borders at Wheellock place, but
well........Borders really is crap.
the art and design books section is messy as hell and the books
are anyhow chucked and dumped messily.
i can't find the farking book i wanted, so i decided to go back
to that taka's Kino and try my luck in case miracle happens.
i took the lift again and this time read the smaller sign
CAREFULLY and it says, "Use the main entrance via
escalator".
WHOA!!!!!! i almost collapse on the floor after seeing that!!! i
could have got the book on fri nite but due to my carelessness, i
went thru all these trouble.
so, in the end, i managed to see the book at kino, and i'm SUPER
impressed.
the titles are all neatly sorted, all neatly arrange, and the
covers are all facing you, meaning u don't have to turn your head
90-degree to see the title on the book's spine.
Kino really rules and u can even check the book's availability
on the website and then go get it. Faster than OpenTrolley.com
too.
2 lessons i learnt:
1) NEVER RUSH, BE COOL and READ ALL THE SIGNS carefully
2) NEVER GO BORDERS IF YOU WANT BOOKS
thanks guys!
