Hi Samsuri,

Hey yeah u are right! now that u'v mentioned it, i seem to realise it so.. sad huh.. i suppose it works last time coz libraries werent so well-stocked & accessible.. but with progress in technology, ppl hav more ways to get themselves a good read..

pity those in the business.. esp since lots of them are fr the older generation..

Hi Suhaila.

Thanks for agreeing.....

There's this one indian man stall , in a wet market at marine parade, beside the McDonalds. Do not know whether it's still there ?
Use to have alot of comics and novels.

Anybody can confirm this ?

Cheers!

err.. u'r welcome;0)

not sure.. haha if only forum can post pictures.. mayb u can post it here then we can see..

ok tell u what, since we havnt been able to upload images yet, when i visit the place again, i'll take photos & email u..?

sure thing! erm, is it safe to post my email add here? haha.. nvm i'll wait for ur response first..

Yo .. didn't have time to visit the place... too busy....

anyway... post email here??... naah....better not... wait for the moderators to maybe add the photo function here.. hehehe.....

hehe yeap agreed.. thanks in advance ya! looking foward to ur photo & uploading images in general!!

Cheers!

Hi Suhaila,

Yes I "owe" u a few pictures already.. haha.. looking forward to the moderators adding the photo function here!

back to the topic of rentals, i think now alot of rentals are going unpopular.. like renting of DVDs.. if people can download movies or borrow from library, they won't need the rental shops already..

I suppose the rental trade is going downhill..

I agree with you Suhaila !

Further more , there's always discounts on DVDs & VCDs.
And people can afford it!
Only media like the blu-ray is still expensive.

There's also a "Vending Machine" for Movies right ?
