RI 144 hours marathon

This reading marathon was a new concept to me. This was the first time I had participated in this event. I have never read a story to the public before. Thus, I was excited, despite feeling a bit exhausted as the book club was supposed to read from 1-7am. I had no stage frights, and I was relaxed. Reading is one of my favourite hobbies and I had enjoyed reading on stage.

However, I was a bit disappointed with the event itself. I had expected something larger, and maybe a bit cozier but the thing that dampened my spirits a little was that the only people who were there were from the book club and the staff at NLB. What an encouragement...

Nevertheless, I decided to put all these disappointment aside and reminded myself that I am here to do what I like to do -- read. Reading had caused me to put all my wearineses aside and I managed to stay awake and alert without sleeping for a day. It was indeed a great experience.
