Know that area pretty wellOriginally posted by the Bear:well, the other 2 lost souls didn't
My mum's office used to be near there -

The cafe in kino is by coffee club...kino members get a discount at the cafe....been there before with my colleague who is a die-hard kino fan.Originally posted by the Bear:kinokuniya in orchard.. within it, there's a cafe.. coffee, cake and literature..
wonderful combination
-
i've not been there since my injury...
mainly because we got to pay bloody ERP to drive in there, and worse, the parking at Ngee Ann City costs about 20% of your wages and your first born
that being said, my membership has lapsed too

i dunno... i mean, you can't "escape" the bookshop without paying for the books right?
maybe it's time to renew the membership, and bite the bullet that is the carpark fees and go.. have run out of books to read for way too long.. last book read was borrowed from a friend and reviewed in Book Buddies...Originally posted by Wanda:Eh...can you take the unpaid books from kino to read at the cafe?

but kino books are so expensive.........Originally posted by Wanda:The cafe in kino is by coffee club...kino members get a discount at the cafe....been there before with my colleague who is a die-hard kino fan.

I have bad reading habits
I like to read with the air-con blasting and me cuddled up in bed with my nice thick comforter and a mug of hot tea beside me -
They have certain specialised books which can't be found easily elsewhere, so they serve that niche. Anyway, they always have 20% members' discount promo.Originally posted by hisoka:but kino books are so expensive.........

true they do have specialised books.Originally posted by Wanda:They have certain specialised books which can't be found easily elsewhere, so they serve that niche. Anyway, they always have 20% members' discount promo.
how much is the members fees?
iis it cheaper than outside after the promo? -
Eh, your tea won't remain hot for long, right? I don't like cool beverages, always have to drink them quickly.Originally posted by elindra:I have bad reading habits

i have insane reading habits... i can read a book at any time, any place and at any temperature
that includes being in a car, on a train, in bed, bad light, sunlight, dead quiet, music on really loud, in winter, here in singapore at the beach... -
Haha noOriginally posted by Wanda:Eh, your tea won't remain hot for long, right? I don't like cool beverages, always have to drink them quickly.
But if you drink in a air-con coffee house it is the same thing isn't it?
I just go for a refill if I"m not lazy
But I love reading in bed
Especially more so if it's raining heavily and I'm in my room with air-con blasting -
Members' fees - gotta ask the bear. ..i've no idea.Originally posted by hisoka:true they do have specialised books.

1 year = $20 plus GST
since i buy hundreds of dollars of books each time, the $22.50 pays for itself many times over -
ok, gotta go
bleach, turpentine, washing detergent and softener are waiting for me -
Even in the coffee house, I will try to finish my drink while it's still hot/warm.Originally posted by elindra:Haha no

Yeah, I do like to laze in bed in rainy weather, and with the CD playing. -

prices? cos i'm not sure if the 20% covers the cost difference with other stores out there
oh yeah, can bear read in water? -

My SO had given up on me when it comes to such housekeeping so he doesn't nag.
