Private Idaho

Went out last week to break our fast and while waiting for M I found a bit of time to traipse this bookstore on the second floor of Orchard MRT. Didn't think I'd find something worthwhile on that level because I knew that place is much too greedily occupied in square metres by Popular bookstore. Don't get me wrong, I love the plebian feel of Popular but I just had about enough of it mushrooming everywhere.

And well what do you know? I found this neat bookstore called Haris.

I could lounge for hours in its quiet recesses of solid bookcases and turns of categories. The classics section is something to wish for. If I had it my way, or a place on my own; that's how I want it to be -- my own private Idaho .

And that's the picture of Harmony Centre @ An-Nahdhah mosque, Bishan I thought I'd post here for everyone's info. PM, together with many leaders representing the religions of the community graced the event and officially opened it on the 7th July 2006.

The Harmony Centre intends to facilitate Muslims in the understanding of other major religions in Singapore so that they can better relate to their fellow citizens, friends and neighbours. It's primary objective is to promote greater mutual respect [via many activities and platforms] between the communities which will in turn safeguard and enhance the peaceful and harmonious living that we have enjoyed so far.

Lol... can't believe I'm typing that in my blog but that's what it is folks. Go visit if you have the time, it is open to every race, creed, religion and colour.
