"The Lord Of The Rings" once again devours me [Been watching re-runs and reading the books].

Honestly, how can one not b fascinated by an entire history so rich and spellbounding? And the best part is, it's all made up. 3 ages Tolkien wrote, languages and dialects he composed, history and events described as though they actually took place a million years before. Bloodlines he drew. Battles he plotted. Every mystical creature he conjured. They feel real when u read the books. Tolkien's magic is divine. I wish he still lived.

Anyway, today was beautiful [Today wld refer to Friday]. 2 hours of Soc Psy passed faster than 2 shakes of a lamb's tail. And before u knw it, a number of us were at the plaza poking our faithful balls. Which in normal human english terms mean, pool.

Aft pool, only a lonely number of 3 headed down to town. Jasmine, Crystal and me. We settled ourselves down at Lido after our ice cream treat, and started brainstorming on commonly mispronounced words. That's half of the phonetics journal battle done.

Near 6pm, Crystal left for her erm.. Grand Aunt's [I think] birthday dinner, and Jasmine and I took a bus down to bugis. So guess where we went.

NBL! =) It's 10 over storeys of gorgeous books! We got really excited, but climbing up 10 over floors and finding nth but references sections got us a tad annoyed. However, smart little us eavesdropped and heard this guide saying that the borrow-able books were only at B1, so down to B1 it was!

Most books were new. They looked new, they smelt new, they felt new. I LIKE NEW BOOKS. Lol. Over zealous Jasmine and I grabbed almost 2 times more than we cld borrow! So we painfully parted with a few. But there were those a hell more kiasu than us. Like this auntie we saw. She lugged around a huge plastic bag full of books. I wld gage abt 30 odd, 40 of them. And she was walking around the library, I believe, looking for more to stash into that never ending bag of her's. Tsk.

Anyway, the visit to NBL was good and fruitful. But now, I've got too many borrowed books and they press with the need to b read and returned. Esp the book I borrowed from the school's library. I not only have to read that first cos it's due date's the nearest, but also bcos I need to fully grasp the history of Salem so I can complete my essay outline and speech, WHICH ARE BOTH DUE NEXT WEEK.

So much incomplete wrk makes me feel like a sloth. *sigh. And I feel so limb now, it's doesn't help. I was actually really tired earlier that I fell asleep for 20 mins, but now, sleep has seem to abandon me. *double sigh. Shall I carry on with Harry? Or mayb I shld finish up my phonetics. Or I cld just lie in bed and pray sleep'll take me back in!
