Temptation

Managed to get off from work early today.. i shld have gone to K Box with Azack cos we didnt have anything to do at work.. We would have so much fun singing out hearts out to all the BSB's song.. oh ya, i have downloaded all BSB's song into my MP3 player so that i can refresh my memory to the lyrics before going to the concert.. crazy right? i know! while listening to it, i soon realised that i missed listening to those lovely ballads of theirs which were never released as a single.. Songs like "What Makes You Different", "That's What She Said", "I Promise You" and so much, much, much more...

Anyways, while i was making my way to Jurong East, i suddenly felt like watching The Family Stone cos the Dermott Dulmoney guy (the guy in My Bestfriend'd Wedding, im not too sure of his name) is acting.. I have always found him hot.. but too bad, the slots were kinda late considering i have to be home before 7pm due to Quran recitation class..

So i ended up going to the library, i tot i just wanna browse thru some books and mags to kill some time but i knew that wld not be enuff once i stepped into the library.. there is something abt books which i just cant seem to get enuff, i think it has much to do with the smell.. i love the smell of books..
So I started looking for Soheir Khasoggi's books cos i happened to flip thru it once in a rental book store in Clementi while waiting for Azza and i found the synopsis interesting.. I found two books written by her, so i tot what the heck! I shall just borrow those 2 books since im a reading mood.. I continued walking towards the "S" section when Nicholas Sparks's name suddenly popped in my mind.. I have been wanting to read The Notebook for the longest time cos i have the vcd at home and i dun wanna watch it till i read the book 1st.. i dun want whatever i saw affect my perception of the books, i dun wanna have some pre-conceived images floating in my head when im reading the book.. Unfortunately, the book was not there but i found A Walk to Remember, another one of my fave sappy movie.. I think i have watched the movie like 10 times and every single time i watched it, i wld definitely cry... Sssiiggghhh.. what to do, im a romantic at heart.. so i was thinking to myself, what the heck, the book is prety thin and i wld defintitely be able to finish it within a day.. So there i was holding on to 3 books..
I walked further up the aisle, i came across Danielle Steel's book and my eye straight away scan thru those books looking for The Gift in particular.. I think i have read The Gift for abt 4 times, and yes.. i wld always cry after reading it.. it is such a sweet and touching story.. so i thought, what the heck, its just another book and there i was holding on to 4 books..
My instinct told me to get out from the library right there and then, no more browsing, no more stealing glances at the book while passing by the shelves.. But no!! My eyes very the gatal and it caught sight of Jane Green's book!! My head was telling me no but my heart kept saying "What the heck! Its just another book." My feet began to take those small yet fast step towards the shelf while my head kept telling me "Go Home!" Without knowing it, i extended my hand and grabbed hold of those books, LUCKILY out of the 3 books there, i have read 2 of if so i have to borrow only one.. or else.... and so there i was holding 5 book in my hand..

I forced my eyes to look down and hurriedly make my way to the escalator to scan my book on the 1st floor.. So much for browsing thru and flipping thru!! I borrowed 5 books from the library while i have another 15 more unread books at home!! AAAHHHH!!! TEMPTATION!!
