Kyle's 1st Library Card

If I was single, not working and not married with 2 kids, you will find me everyday with a book sucking up my face at Borders, Konikuniya, or any library branch throughout Singapore.

Well, that was how I was when I was younger. I love reading. After school, I would turn into a geek and just hang out with books. Not school books, though...I hate those. But I love fictions. Throw me a Stephen King or a Jackie Collins anytime.

In my pre-teens, I also loved Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl books and series such as the Famous Five, the Hardy Boys, the Sweet Valley Twins. My favourite book, was and still is, To Kill A Mockingbird. My mum built up a mini-library just for me and my brother. The habit of reading has improved my English a lot and I don't think I would have gotten good grades for English if I was not the reading type.

Now that I have children, I hope to do the same for them.

Kyle's 1st Library Card!
Yeah! Let's raid the library! Hmm...where to start looking?
So many choices!!

Ok, let's find a spot and settle down. (at this point, Mama is already engrossed in some Harry Potter book)
I like this one. Can we borrow home?
At the moment, he loves picture books and would sit down, observe the different objects/items in each page of the book and point them out to me. It is just so amazing to see your child taking an interest in books :)
