Music and Books.

Spent the entire morning on it, but...

GLITCH IN THE PLAN!

Sister will have to wait for mixtape.

YOG duty starts tomorrow. 5pm-11.30pm at JBS, for football. I love that we get to watch the matches! Quite nervous about the translating part though.. Was looking through my French textbooks and just remembered how much I've forgotten.

Reading Pile (that occupies almost half my table):

- Panorama 1 and 2 (French textbooks), and 4 files full of French worksheets.

- Innocent Traitor, by Alison Weir, a novel of Lady Jane Grey. I'm fascinated by the Tudor line.

- First Words, a collection of literature from Singapore.

- On The Road, by Jack Kerouac. It's on my booklist for next semester. HL230.

- The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov. Also on the booklist. HL310.

- Ramses, The Son of the Light, by Christian Jacq.

- Pygmy, by Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club. As Dhevy said, it's proving to be a very hard read.. Not sure if I wanna finish it. It's a very rude, in-your-face book. Haha.

-The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch. This one has been on my reading pile for ages. Doesn't mean it's a bad book though. It's great.

- The Boy in the Moon, by Kate O'Riordan. Got it at a BORDERS clearance sale.

- 4 months' worth of Reader's Digest. eeps.

- The Age of Innocence, by Edith Warton.

- A Town Like Alice, by Nevil Shute.

- The Mahabharatham, in Tamil.

- Kindle Life (Dhevy, I believe this is yours).

- Kastoori's copy of The Five People You Meet In Heaven, by Mitch Albom, which I haven't returned to her yet.

- A couple of other things on the pile: My purple notebook. Lalit's arangetram invitation and programme. Postcard from Germany! Card I bought at the bookshop in NTU. Postcard from the UK! The movie My Name is Khan, also Dhevy's. Pencilcase with the FDNY keychain from the USA, the Spain keychain from a bag of chips and the keychain with bells from a cousin in India.

I like how cramped my table is.

Yea you're right vy, I do appreciate his/her loyalty. If only I knew what he/she was saying. It's usually some big philosophical statement (i got my friend to translate it once).

cramped table =]
