Episode 40: Angels and Demons

Yesterday, I went to school for my librarian duty at 4pm. The whether was kinda want-rain-duwan-rain like dat. But fortunately I reached school without getting my clothes soaked.

Pei Chern was the shift leader on that day (she always give me ‘penyusunan’ one). No duty on that day. Stock check was carried out on that day. So everyone must do ‘penyusunan’ Great.

As I carried some books to one shelves to another, something caught my attention. It was a book la. But I got the feeling that the book was calling for me…

“Come to me Mun Keong…. Come to papa….”

Gosh, creepy man.

To satisfy my curiosity, I took out the book (it was thick and has a hard cover) from the shelve.

When I saw the book title… OMG….

The book was none other than…..

DAN BROWN’S ANGELS AND DEMONS!!!!!

Me wif Dan Brown's masterpiece.

Gosh, man. I cant believe it man. The book with the words “The International Bestsellar” was right in front of my eyes. I feel in love with it instantly. No doubt bout it.

What would such a popular book (even popular than Stephanie Meyer’s Twillight) was doing inside SGI library???

“Damn, I gotta borrow this book”, I whispered to myself.

So today, after Mr.Teh’s account class, (boring as ever) armed with my librarian tag, I raced to the library, hoping the book was still there.

“Thank God the book is still there”, I murmured.

So I grab the book (and hug it) and walked to the library office. I clicked on the computer to register myself as the borrower of the book.

“Ey, ey, Mun Keong, kamu buat ape tu??” asked the Kakak. (Kakak was the library boss)
“Saya nak pinjam buku ini kak.” I replied.
“Tak boleh pinjam hari ini. Kan ada stock check.” said the Kakak.

My heart shattered into pieces.

“Tak boleh pinjam ke, Kak??”, I tried to negotiate.
“Tunggu stock check habis dulu.” she replied.

I was like OMG. When la the stock check gonna finish?? Of all the time…

“Kak, betul tak boleh pinjam?? I asked for one last time, hoping she will agree.
“Tak boleh” she said.

Great. This is just fantastic.

For a moment I thought I could borrow the book… But now…. Have to wait till stock check is done.
I reluctantly put back the book into the shelves, and head to the exit with a sour face.

Suddenly, the Kak called out my name.

What I heard next was magical…

“Baiklah, baiklah. Pergi procees buku tu” she said.

Lady luck had not abandoned me after all. Without wasting any time, I ran towards the shelve and took out Dan Brown’s masterpiece and have it processed.

“Terima kasih Kak.” I said with a glowing smile on my face. My sour face no longer exits that time.

As soon as I went back to my class, I stared flipping the pages. Interesting, I must say. Having read the comments, especially one that says….

“A heart racing thriller. The story has so many twists that it would be a sin to reveal too much of the plot in advance. Lets just say that if this novel doesn’t get your pulse racing, you need to check your meds” –San Francisco Chronicle-

burned my desire to read up the book.

So thanks a lot to Dato’ Ng Tieh Chuan for donating such a marvelous book to the library. The Lost Symbol in the future perhaps??

This book is highly recommended, and if you are a SGI, you should borrow it. But must wait me finish first la.

Hope I can finish reading before November 11.

Can you decipher this?? Illuminati is the word.

This was the place where the victim were 1 by 1 being killed
