thinking of....

ss swarming and eschewing my brain..

haha. sorry, i promised myself that i had to study 3 chapters of ss before coming online..currently the words, 'economic advancement', 'foreign revenue' and much more are running amok in my mind..

on a lighter note, i have a so-called holiday today! because some people are taking their practical exams and i'm not! haha. i am positively shouting with glee. but of course, what's a 'vacation' without some studying. with ss and bio practicals this friday, no one's enjoying this reprieve unless they do some revision..

hmms, i forgot what i wanted to share...

oh yah! i got it now!

read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.

i was bowled over by it. well at least at some parts, except the ending was a little anti-climatic (well each to his own taste, i was hoping for something more vengeful :P)

i spent the entire night reading it and completely ignored ss revision. it's touching, funny and really painful at times. seriously, tears were welling up my eyes twice ..

if you want a brief intro, it's about this girl who gets murdered and observes her grieving family and friends from the heaven above. and later on how they gradually move on and grow up. that's the gist.

i was reading laura's amazing booklist... i am green with envy, purple with choking jealousy .. she has so many books! and i have to get mine from the libraries and plead my parents for an occassional newly published one...sad, right? but at least the school library suffices at times. i just borrowed Hilary Clinton's autobiography and Lovely Bones . yups, but the autobiography will have to wait till the sept hols when i manage to squeeze some reading time from intensive studying...

a shout-out to laura (hopefully she sees it :) )

can i borrow some of your books after the o's????????? pretty please with a maraschino cherry on the top :) and a rainbow sprinkles and chocolate fudge :) ????

--- as you can see i'm usually starved for good reading material----
----i drive my dad mad after the exams--- cos i want to live in the library-- :)
