Traditional Research

Used the RBR (Reserve Books/Readings) Section at the NUS Central Library for the first time today (the third day of CNY). Not too complicated really - drop bag, pop in, grab book, checkout, pop next door to photocopy relevant chapters, return book in the slot, repeat for next book/reading. I think I managed a couple of hundred pages on South Asia.

The photocopiers now accept EZ-Link cards too (as opposed to CashCards only the last time I visited in like, my first year?), a welcome convenience. I wonder if some algorithm could be developed by the manufacturers to prevent wasting toner on printing those useless black fills at either end of the page when the book is too short (in spatial length), but at three cents a page perhaps it is not worth their while.

Copped a duck egg last weekend but still barely ahead, at $2163.50/$2150. Time to depend on Derby County again...

$50 on Tottenham to beat Derby (at 1.45) - If Spurs can nearly defeat the Devils, they better do it to the Rams.
$25 on Everton (-1.5) vs Reading (2.45) - Blues not exactly flying, but Reading have lost their last five and have yet to win on the road.
