I2C program runs in an infinite loop even without a loop

Evaluation Board: MCB2300
Microcontroller: LPC2388
IDE: uVision V4.03q

My Setup:
============

1. I interfaced a 2-Wire Serial EEPROM (2K) to LPC2388.
2. I am using I2C0 on this board.
3. Therefore, using Pins 0.27 for SDA and 0.28 for SCL and external pull up resistors have been connected.
4. A 2-line, 5X8 LCD is also interfaced to this board.

My Objective:
================

4. This is my first program on I2C and I am writing a very basic program.
5. I want to WRITE a character in EEPROM at a memory location.
6. Then, I want to READ that character and display it on the LCD.

Where I am:
================

7. I am able to WRITE to and READ from the EEPROM and display it on the LCD.

The Issue:
=================

8. The problem is, the statements in the main() run continuously in an infinite loop. I do not have a loop at all in the main().

Thanks,
