Library.
I love to be at the library while
doing my works. Why you may ask? It’s because I can concentrate and focus more
on my works. I can’t really do works at home since there are lots of
‘dangerous’ distraction. Movies, bed, foods, TV, you named it. Plus, you can meet many kind of people at the library. However, it can be both interesting
and disturbance. Among many type of people who came to the library:
- People who really come to the library to study and do works. This group of people really optimize the function of the library.
- A group of people who come to the library just to meet with each other, chit chatting and laughing whole-heartedly as if the library are their playground. I don’t really care about this group, but it can be annoying at times especially when I cannot put 100% focus on my works due to their louder and louder voice as time passed by.
- A couple who come to the library as if they want to study together but actually just want to have a date. Sitting very close to each other (okay it’s up to you but it can be an eye sore to others), touching here and there (certain couple, also an eye sore). You come to the library to study and do works, then do your works right. Wanna have a date? Get out of the library lah, there’s taman and tasik outside. Be lovey-dovey there.
- Certain people who thought that library is some kind of museum, going around for a long time. And no, they are not looking or searching for books or some kind of references, but they are just walking around. This kind of group also is a huge disturbance to people who really need to focus on their work. Walking here and there. Yes, you can walk. There’s no rules saying that walking around the library is a crime. But, please consider others. You wanna walk? You love walking so much? There are lots of shopping malls, taman, suitable places out there.
- People who come to the library, bring a laptop just to watch the movie(s) or listening songs via laptop or phone. Well, since these people didn’t really disturb others since there are in their own world (watching the movie(s) or listening to songs with earphone or headphone on), so it’s up to them. But I cannot tolerate those people who didn’t use earphone or headphone to do so. On top of that, rising the volume of their laptop or phone without any concern to others, as if they are alone.
Please people. Library is meant
for people who love to do works in a pleasant, calm and quiet surrounding. You
don’t want these people to looking angrily at you, bad-mouthing you for
disturbing them and the worse is scolding you, don’t you? Tolerate with each
other, and we all can get benefits from the library. And please, just because
the library is public and open for everyone, it doesn’t mean that you have any
right to misuse it.
