I watched "Bend it like Beckham" on vcd. Rented it. It was soo British, I had to strain my ears to understand their speech. But it was interesting all the same. There were gay and lesbian issues... which was very funny. hee. There was one part when the two indian girls (the main character, Jess, short for Jasminder, and her sis) were measuring for clothes. Jess, is a thin and lean girl who absolutely loves football. In other words, she does not have a perfect body figure. And the elder indian lady who was dressing them said,

"Oh, don't worry, if we work on them, Even the mosquito bites can look like juicy mangoes!"

My reaction was like, "WHAT?!" and I burst into hysterical laughter. I mean... it's absolutely ridiculous! Mosquito bites?! hahar...

Anyway, there's a schedule for the first two days of school on inet. There are no lessons at all!!! Hoorah! They gave us a lot of time to decorate our homerooms though. Do we paint or stg? I think the class should discuss what we want to do with the room exactly, before we get to the alloted time slot for cleaning and find ourselves with no idea what to do.

Oh crap... I'm going now. I'm going to watch Stuart Little. Watched the powerpuff girls movie on vcd yesterday. A load of rubbish. Really a waste of money...

Should post stg. Been sometime.

I read "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole" by Sue Townsend. A boy's point of view... for a change. Adrian Mole is... very... WEIRD. He thinks he's an intellectual. But the things he does goes against that fact. For instance he puts blue tack in his ears. I mean, who sane enough, would put blue tack in his ears?! I really wonder how it doesn't get stuck. Plus, he is obsessed with his looks. One of his entries went along the lines of...

Help! My nipples are swollen! I'm turning into a girl!

He went to a doctor to get them checked. Can you believe that? The doctor was terribly annoyed.

Anyway, school is starting very soon. I'm dreading it, no matter what some other people (Victoria said she can't wait to get back to school!!) may say. sigh. As soon as all the stress and homework and tests and cca crap starts over, my blog and guestbook will somewhat stagnate. sigh.

shall go now...

I wrote crap in the last entry. Bleagh again.

I wanna paste quotes from DT, since all the past quotes I'd pasted in here had somehow vanished into oblivion. Am reading Draco Sinister again. Hehe. "Somebody stop me!!!" (The Mask)

"What's my middle name?" Ron demanded.

"Aurelius," said Charlie promptly.

This got a reaction even from Hermione. "Aurelius?" she demanded, staring at Ron.

Ron looked defensive. 'What's wrong with Aurelius?"

"Well, for one thing it means your initials spell "RAW."

hehe. RAW. Very funny.

I was going to watch the two towers just now but ALL the tickets were sold out. Should have booked earlier. My cousins and I were sooo fed up. Am going to try again tmr.

Gtg. Visitors coming for hari raya. sigh.

I realised I wrote a lot of crap in the previous entry. Bleagh.

Oh, DT fans, there's this vote cassie put up in yahoo groups.
Who do you think draco should tell he love them in DV? (b4 he dies if he does)
Hermione (he already has no point)
Ginny
Ron
Snape
Blaise (IM NOT PUTTING HARRY!)

And 68% chose Ginny! Hooray... and that includes me!

Anyway, Turkey, the DV christmas ficlet that I mentioned in my guestbook... it's not worth reading. It's gonna turn out slash, I know it. Sigh, the majority of the DT-crazed fans LOVE to make draco and harry gay every chance they get. Hahar.

I should say something bout my M'sia trip. But, really, there's nothing much. I went to KL first. Took the bus of course. Then took another bus to Langkawi - 7 hours drive. Langkawi's an island, so we had to get off first and take a ferry. The luggage we had was too much. 10 people... 15 bags.. really. We lugged it everywhere. My shoulder was about to give way.

Langkawi was nice. We rented this van and went around the place. I think it's a bit smaller than Singapore, and a lot less developed. We went to a waterfall... a padi field (practical Geog! hehe!), a craft museum... and the beach. Langkawi is quite a legendary place you know... let me tell the story. Long before your time...

The word 'Lang' is short for helang - which means eagle in english. 'Kawi' is a rock. According to them... there were lots of eagles sitting on rocks so... they named the island Lang-Kawi. hahar. Very funny.

There's also a legend about the island. There was once this girl, named Mahsuri, who was very beautiful. She captured the hearts of many men in the village. Everyone (well the guys at least) wanted to marry her. The village head wanted to make her his second wife, but his first wife would not hear of it. (Dah tua tak sadar diri...) So, Mahsuri married Wan Darus instead. Wan Darus was the village head's brother. Wan Darus left Langkawi for stg... (can't remember what) and Mahsuri was left alone at home with their child. There was a man named Deraman who visited Langkawi then. He was popular among the people and he stayed over at Mahsuri's house.

The village head's first wife, who hated Mahsuri, started rumours that Mahsuri and Deraman was having an affair. And so... Mahsuri was accused of adultery. Deraman fled the island. Mahsuri was tied to a tree to be later put to death. She, as well as her family, pleaded with the village people. No one would believe her innocence. And finally she was killed with her father's spear. The blood that spurted out from her body was pure white, signifying her innocence. Before she died, she cursed that Langkawi would see no peace and stability for seven generations.

ha... I'm getting bored... but the legend bout Mahsuri is supposedly true. Of course, by now the seventh generation has come and may even be gone. Mahsuri lived in 1819 lah. hmmm. Stamford Raffles was there...

Anyway, after that, I went to Penang. Very hot place. And came back. Ok, am getting bored and lazy. Sall come back next time.

I know it's been ages. It's been Hari Raya... waddya expect? Anyway, I think I'm going out with some gals tmr... Liyana , Mumu, etc. You know go each other's houses. Haha.

I know that all my entries have been totally HP, it's been kinda hard for non-HP pple to understand anything in here. sigh. What am I to do...? That's just the way I am... a HP freak. And it is my blog anyway... so pple who come here have to deal with that. Hee.

Today's my muim's and sis's birthday. My mum just opened the present me and my sis gave her. She hugged us... said thank you. And... we're gonna watch HP after this! Hah! I'm watching for the third time... and I still feel excited. Eeeek! Oh, yesterday, I went to my mum's uncle's house (Tok Malik) and they were watching a pirated HP CoS vcd. I almost screamed when I came into the house. Haha. My brother didn't want my mum to see any of it cos it will spoil the movie for her. But we still saw some parts.

Nenek Huda lent me some Hindi movies: Hum Tumhare Hai Sanam and Na Tum Jaano Na Hum. The first one starred Shah Rukh and Salman Khan. Oh have you heard that Salman is in jail?! Yar... I'm soo behind on my Hindustan news... He got drunk and ran over some sleeping person with his car. Tok Malik was saying, "That's the end of Salman's filming indutry".

It's weird how my cousins' names seem to coincide with these hindustani heroes. Salman, Amir... Haha. Lucky my brother's name isn''t one of them . It's enough that people thinks he's the Asian Tom Cruise. Puh-lease. Don't make me puke. But I have to say... he's okay-looking. Somehow the guys in my family (near and distant) are blessed with good looks. Hah, I'll never admit that to their faces...

Ok, gtg. Gotta get ready for HP movie!

Sigh. It's soo hard to talk to turkey these days... I made Xinling take a look at DT. Hah!! I'm soo evil... trying to get as many peeps as possible to get hooked to it! But it's really a wonderful read. Hee. Xinling is VERY innocent, in the sense that she NEVER reads fanfiction. I'm poisoning her mind... dear, dear...

Anyway, before turkey warned me not to turn into my philosophical self, I was thinking about the fact that beautiful people suffer more than normal people. Have you ever heard of girls who get attacked by black magic because they refuse to marry certain people? It happens a lot during the old kampung days. I think it still happens in those ulu places of Indonesia. It all boils down to having impossibly good looks. Everyone wants to marry you. And you'll have such a tragic love life, cos you'll never get to marry the person you want. Hahar. Maybe it's better if you're normal-looking... hehe.

OMG!!! Lingzhi actually reads DT!!! I can't believe it. And Xinling actually likes Draco Dormiens already and she only started reading 10 min ago!!! Aaaaahhhh! I'm soo happy.

P.S. This entry was actually dated 3rd December but there was some technical problems so it did not appear on the site.

I read DV 11! I read DV 11! I read DV 11! I can continue saying that for hours. Oh my god! I have lots to say... So, for those starting to get hooked to DT but haven't read this much-anticipated latest chapter, you better skip the following parts if you don't want any spoilers. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Firstly, I think this chapter contains much less humour than the previous ones. Maybe it's because 99% of the time, Harry and Draco are not together to make cruel and snide remarks to each other. Yes, the two soully-and-mentally-connected best friends are separated... and there's so much misunderstanding between them. I can't stand it! Harry thinks that the complete antidote for the poison has been found. So he thinks that Draco is going to survive it. So he leaves without Draco. He left the letter to Draco explaining everything, but Tom Riddle in the form of utterly-boring-and-pesky Seamus had to come into the picture and ruin everything. Sigh. Seeing crushed Draco is soooo heart-wrenching. Oh God... poor, poor Draco. He's "painfully honest".

There's quite a bit of D/G here. I'm glad. Draco is confusing. We still have no idea what he really feels for Ginny. He can be cruel to her, but according to him he has his reasons, but he can also be incredibly gentle too. Hmm. Ginny was right to bring this up:

She pulled away. "Don't," she said. "You think it's kind, but it's not kindness."

"I'm not kind," he said. "Never that."

She stepped away from him, backwards down the stairs. "Then what are you?" she said. "Do you even know?"

That is soo right. What a complex character Draco is.

I've got another quote regarding Ginny's boy dilemma; featuring the twins!

"Boyfriend problems," said George sagely, pointing at her with the end of the quill he'd been chewing on. "I suspect little Ginny's been having boyfriend problems."

"Ah, but which boy?" wondered Fred portentously. "The dashing yet otherwise occupied Harry Potter? The stalwart yet tedious Seamus Finnigan? The redeemed-yet-still-sarcastic Draco Malfoy?"

"Seamus didn't seem at all tedious to me," protested Mrs. Weasley.

"Seamus and I broke up," said Ginny, in a leaden tone.

"And good riddance!" cried her mother. "I hated him on sight!"

"Oh, for goodness sake," Ginny wailed. "And Fred, I don't even know why you'd mention Harry, you know perfectly well I've been over him for ages."

"I suppose that leaves Malfoy," said George regretfully. "Which is too bad. You'll spend the rest of your life competing with his hair products for attention and fighting over which one of you is the prettiest."

"And let me tell you," added Fred, "Malfoy will win."

Haha! But I have to agree with Fred. Malfoy WILL win.

Let's see, what else did I wanna say... Oh yes, Tom is so very EVIL. I imagine him as Christian Coulson. Christian is the perfect 17-year-old Tom. And he is currently residing in the oh-so-boring Seamus. "He's got no personality himself", so plenty of room for Tom's. I have no idea why I dislike Seamus so much in this trilogy. Maybe it's because he was interfering with the D/G aspect of the story. Hmph.

There's a lof of flashbacks too this time. How Blaise slowly figured out about the "Gryffindor conspiracy". It throws Blaise and Pansy into a whole new light. Blaise truly cares for Draco, and Pansy has feelings for Ron. Maybe these poor Slytherin girls are more than sluts. Maybe they just need guys who are more than just big troll-like bodies and empty vessels as heads. I'm talking about Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe. Hah.

One last thing, something that left me gaping in horror and disbelief. All along, I have been aware that Cassie, the oh-so-ingenious writer of DT, mixes around with people who are interested in slash fics. In other words - same sex relationships. I have no hesitation in saying that the whole idea disgusts me. A Harry/Draco ship is something "pukable" and inconceivable to me. So... just imagine my shock when I read this...

"You always have to make such a big deal out of everything," he said, and then he did exactly the last thing Harry would ever have expected, and leaned across the small space that separated them, and kissed Harry on the mouth. The chapter ended right after that fullstop.

I was like, "What are you DOING Cassie???" She promised not to make it into a slash fic. She promised. She did. Luckily, fortunately, and thank god, she wrote in her author's note:

I have bought myself a flameproof igloo and calmly await whatever might come. One can, of course, have a hysterical flaming fit over the DT turning into slash and how physicality will ruin the purity of Harry and Draco's beautiful relationship and so on until one turns blue, but all I can say is that... you really don't know where I'm going with it. Trust me on that. So a more productive line of reasoning would probably be not to wonder whether that chapter ending should exist, but why it does.

She better keep her word on that. If DT turns into a slash fic, I won't read it anymore, because I NEVER read slash fics. But I trust Cassie. She'll come up with a good ending to everything. I won't flame her, and besides she threatens to turn it into a Harry/Snape fic if everybody starts throwing flames at her. And I wouldn't know what to say to that if it actually happens.

Sigh. It has been tiring. Typing endlessly. But I feel happy, because waiting for DV 11 is finally over and done with. Now... we wait for DV 12. But I won't be online much the next few days, it being Hari Raya and all. I have to learn that life does not revolve solely around HP and DT. Hehe. I better spend more time doing housework or something.

I hope to hear from you people about DV 11 soon. At least I hope to hear from Turkey.

OMG!!!!! I'm about to burst with excitement!!!!!! DV 11 will be coming out in less than 3 hours!!! Eeeekkkk! *hyperventilates... tries to calm down... phew*

I can't believe it. It's finally here. After waiting for sooo long. Hope Eunice comes back, then we can bounce around in our respective swivel chairs in front of our respective computers. That is of course, assuming that turkeys do sit in modern day swivel chairs and not some wooden chair-thingy. Oh wad am I crapping? I'm becoming insane. Must be the pre-DV 11 effect. Hee.

Anyway...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DUCKIE!!!!!!!

Wish you the best for the next year of your life. Hope you grow more tail feathers on that cute little butt of yours (hehe, pardon my french!), so that you can spare some to make quills for our dear turkey. She can't bear to pull out her own tail feathers.
By the way, did you know that turkey, duck and goose feathers make excellent quills? Rally, I'm not kidding. Maybe fate put the three of us together to set up some quill industry. Hehe... what with turkey's over-enthusiasm over those quills...

So... duckie... wad do you want for ur b'day, huh??? I think u want stg HP, no doubt bout that. But does it matter what HP thing it is? I mean... can it be anything... can it be kiddie? Cos... I found this really incredible HP thingy... and it's a good buy too. hmm.

I'm gonna go offline soon.. wanna watch 'The Bachelor', cos it's the 'bitching' episode. Should be exciting. Sigh. But Eunice is still not here! Hmph. Where is she...?

Sigh. My mother's complaining that I spent too much time on the computer again. Grrr. One day, I will just get my very own computer. One with which I do not have to share with the rest of my family. Already, yesterday night, she did not allow me to go online and chat with you guys. It is sooo annoying you know. Hmph. I am sooo FUMING right now.

I guess I can't type much now, even though I want to today, what with her breathing down my neck.

I gotta write fast now. Gotta get offline soon.

I may be going to mumu's house again tomorrow. Dunno whether umi will let though. I feel kind of lazy. What the heck, I've been lazy all year round.

After photog today, me, pui man and yea tian, went to kino. Pui man bought her usual manga. then we walked around a bit. I couldn't believe what I set my eyes uopn. There was this whole shelf with all HP-stationery!!! There were HP erasers, notebooks, pencils, pens, pencil boxes, coin boxes and I can't remember wad else. But of course everything was very EXPENSIVE (one tiny eraser cost $1.75), like all HP stuff are. I saw the book yu jie bought - "The Science of Harry Potter". There seems to be lots of LOTR. Hah... wad did I expect? I saw the visual companion to the two towers. Really nice. Am looking forward to Dec 19 now...

Sorry lah... my sentences seem very choppy now... just wad has gotten into me?

Forgot wad I wanted to write. As always.

Darn my computer. Can't download yahoo msn.

P.S. DV 11 still not here. The "alpha" version better come soon...

Yu Jie writes a lot in her live journal. I'm sooo envious. She is such a born writer. She can write fics too. can't think of anything to write. This is getting sooo dull.

Sigh. Let's write about trivial matters... so long as this place is filled up. I started reading "So Much To Tell You" again. You know, the lit book from Sec one. It's the first time I'm reading it again since then. Maybe that's because the sight of that book brings back horrible memories... *shudders* - STANLEY. What a horrible woman. Glad she's gone from our school now.

Anyway, not to digress to much... "So Much To Tell You" is quite a nice book lah... contrary to what I thought of it last time. The author's way of writing is unique. Anyway, I like this poem that Cathy gave to Marina...

Pale as ice you passed me by;
I wondered what you really felt,
And waited through the changing times,
To see if you would one day melt.

I thought that ice would melt with warmth,
But there were things I did not know;
The sun can touch the outer layers,
But does not reach the deepest snow.

Winter sometimes seems like years,
Summer's sometimes far away,
But winter always turns to summer,
As surely as does noght to day.

Hmm. Real sweet.

Anyway, this morning, when we woke up before the break of dawn to stuff our tummies for the day, the phone rang. It rang at 4 AM in the morning. Can you believe that? We were surprised all right. It turned out to be an emergency. My granny (she doesn't live with us) had fallen in the bathroom and she couldn't get up. It was the neighbour who called. So my father left the house to help her. I think she's alright. She's 72 but she's really strong. She's in the hospital right now but I haven't seen her. I will sometime soon.

Today was very BORING. I know I should do homework or housework even, but I'm way too lazy. Can't help it. So I watched tv. Sweet November and this movie with young Robin Williams in it. Quite a sad story. The I played 'congkak' with my sis. Played a few rounds and got bored again. Then finally my bro went off the comp and I came here. Now here I am. I'm drawing a blank in my mind again... hmmm...

Wanted to go National Library today, for fun, with my sis. But we didn't get to ask her what with all the chaos in the morning. Didn't have a chance to ask. I should go back and do something worth doing. This is such a waste of time. I'm just drifting around doing nothing. sigh.

And the computer is creating problems for me. The network connection keeps going off. I better go then. Til next time.

I'm here again... wondering what to type. But now... I'm determined to fill this place with stuff. Please someone give me inspiration...

Went to mumu's house today. We were supposed to meet at Eunos at 12:30. I reached there quite early. Jiawen was already there. Poor thing... she came at 12. Mumu didn't have time to tell her that our meeting was postponed. Liyana... she came at 2pm. YES, 2 PM. We were thinking up of various ways to kill her while we waited. I bought a magazine to past the time (LIME, with HP in it) and even finished the whole of it before she arrived.

Apparently, her ear was malfunctioning when mumu called her. She heard "Bedok" instead of Eunos... God knows how that happened. So... she went to Bedok... while we waited for her at Bedok. sigh. Tok about wasting time.

DV 11 is till not here. I've been trying to wait patiently...

Oh, the turkey called my handphone today while I was at Eunos MRT station. I thought she was gonna say that DV 11 is finally here... I was about to start bouncing on the spot... who cares about the people walking past?! This is HP we're talking bout! But then the turkey said that the Oprah show was on TV. Hahar. HP news nonetheless. hehe.

8 more days to Hari Raya. And my baju kurung still isn't ready. *whines*

Sigh... I hate this. I can't see my blog. Whatever I'm writing now... I won't be able to see it on the actual site. WHY??? *whines*

I'm lacking of things to write. Everytime I'm here... my mind starts to draw blanks. My brain slows down.. "Eeeer... why are we here?"

sigh. crap. crap. Mumu's blog is all depressing. Very depressing. But I like her quotes. Interesting stuff. Her guestbook is nice. I wanna make mine all HP but I can't seem to make my own photo album. I dunno why. Why is the computer being very disagreeable with me... *grumbles*

I am currently talking to shen onn and the turkey. And now I'm a vulture. Hah. Nvm. I've got sharp talons, sharp beak... I can take a nip at the turkey anytime I want.

shall go now. The three of us r reciting hp quotes again. yes, yes, CRAZY!

Yay, Yay, DV 11 is coming!!!! Can't wait...

Anyway... dunno wad to say again...

Got loads of photog stuff to do anyway. tata.

I hate this. I can't seem to get to my blog site. hmph. At least Eunice can read it... Maybe it's my darn computer.

Went to Suntec just now with the two birds - turkey and duckie. Bless those two fluffy things. Anyway, it was absolutely a HP outing. All we ever talked bout was HP. Anybody who joined us would have puked all over the floor with the overflowing HP conversations. Honestly, we're nutters, the three of us. We went hunting for te HP soundtrack. The cheapest so far is the one at HMV - $19.95. We tried to look for a magazine which supposedly, contains lots of HP stuff. But we couldn't find it. We saw this kind of parody magazine - 'Harry Plodder'. It was absolutely insulting. There was this part when Harry was deciding what subjects to take for third year when the parody Ron replied, "Why don't you try acting lessons? You're no Haley Joel Osment." Hmph. The implication of that maddens me.

Just now, I was trying to look for the DT quotes I put in here last time. I wanted to make a new signature for my YAHOO mail. But it seems, the quotes arenowhere to be found in my blog. Darn. I wanted to put the 'lemonade' quote!!! Hmph.

I shouldn't be online right now. There are better things to do, as my mother often reiterates to me. But I can't help it. And the listing of Draco's and Oliver's attributes is just sooo fun. I might do Ginny's next time, but she's a bit more complex than the two guys.

I'm supposed to finish one juz (one chapter) of the Qura'an real soon. I'm such an irresponsible person. Then, there's of course the cca orientation thing for next year. I'm supposed to decide wad we need for it by 30th Nov. Have to call Pui Man up then. sigh. I realise that as you grow older, the less a holiday feels like a holiday.

I have no inspiration to write... so I shall end it here for now...

I know... it's been very looong. I finally watched that HP show Eunice taped. We watched it at the library. hehe. So funny, when Tom tried to laugh his EVIL laugh.

Anyway, I'm still in the library right now. Waiting for yu jie tofinish her library duty so that we can go to Suntec. She wants to see the underpass. I hope it's still there...

Oh, finished that typing for maths thingy. finally. gave the diskette to TK Wong today.

Weird... now I dunnno wad to type... It seems like nothing much has happened...

sigh. stilll no DV 11. I say that everytime. I'm starting to think that it will never come... or even if it does, I'll call Eunice up in 2070, when we're 83 yrs old, and croak, "Tu...urkeeey... DV 11... it's heeeerrrreee..." and drop dead from a heart attack. hah. Pls, Cassie... say stg. At least tell us if it's coming soon or not...

hmph. dunno wad else. Oh yar... I've been feeling guilty these days cos I havent been turning up for Drama at all. I feel sooo bad. It's just that I do have other stuff on, like Photog. And... even if I go, I know I wouldn't have anything to do. Cos I'm not part of costumes or props, I'm part of the treasury, though I have no idea how much money we have either.

Eunice just read my mail to her and the list about Draco cracked her up. maybe I should put it here. hehe. It's worth remembering.

In all the fanfics I've read, Draco is ALWAYS:

1) filthy, filthy, disgustingly, RICH; I think he could have bought a whole country if he wanted to

2) sooooo drop dead gorgeous with his blond-almost-silver hair and absolutely delicate features. Oh, and most of the time, he's supposed to have Veela blood in him. Aaaaaah... no wonder.... ;)

3) Very witty; his tongue is sooo sharp, he can cut you with a single nasty word. Oh, and if anyone thinks Asha Gil is not a good enough host for the Weakest Link, a better replacement will be him. All the participants will cower in fear, I tell you...

4) horrible childhood; which involves being shut up in the cupboard or some sort of torture Lucius invented

5) intelligent, but unfortunately, not as smart as Hermione

6) gray, COLD, eyes

Ok, cant quite remember the rest...

Now, I shall list the common attributes of Oliver, contributed by The Oliver-crazed fan, the duckie who's affected by the Oliver-Effect.

1) Tall, dark, muscular and cute

2) Favourite mode of transport : broomstick (DUH!)

3) Always catches the female character falling from her broomstick (oh damsel in distress!!). Most of the time the broomstick is hexed or jinxed by THE enemy

4) Enemy: Likes the heroine; hits bludger at the girl, girl falls, wants to save her but Oliver does that instead DARN!

5) Oliver & heroine lives happily ever after (I bet the duck wishes she's the ONE!)

That's it for now.

I'm back from the movie. Hehe. Enjoyed myself very much again. According to my boy cousins, the first one was better. Hmm, each to his opinion, I guess. My sis said that CoS is better though.

When I watched it the second time, Fawkes doesn't seem too bad after all. Really! And Eunice complained bout there being the screeching and no phoenix song. In truth, there was some music in the background, but I dunno whether it was intended to be the phoenix song or not. And the screeching was not that bad either. :)

Oh yar... the hug, Ron was like, "UH... uh... wel... welcome back." hehe.

U know, I realise there's a difference between watching with fans and watching with non-fans.I think the first time I watched it at Suntec, the theater was packed by a majority of HP-crazed people. U get the ooohs and aaahs and shouts and laughters at all the correct places. Like when Hermione was looking squeamish when she was about to hug Ron. Today, sigh. The cinema was crowded with little kids. Hello, crying is very disruptive okay...? Somebody's bloody handphone went off with a stupid tune in the middle of the polyjuice scene. What a spoiler. There was A LOT OF fidgeting. Honestly...

Anyway, now that the whole HP fiasco has slowly started to die down... reality has come flooding back to me. If only hogwarts and magic and fantasy can last forever and ever and ever... Now I remember all the stuff I'm supposed to do: A-Maths typing thingy, photog outing, cca day for 2003... homework and what not.

sigh. I shall go and clean my room soon. good luck to me...

I've changed the name of my blog for now. Haven't really found a good one that will stay permanent. So, now it's called 'HP Overload' cos I realise that all I everwrite bout in here is HP. Well, 95% of the time is about HP and only 5% is devoted to my daily life happenings. What can I say? I'm a HP freak.

So, people who happen to be revolted at this kind of crazy fanatism or obsession, I suggest you back away right now. This is no place for you. Be forewarned.

OK, It's Saturday and I'm gonna watch CoS for the second time!!! Yay!! I feel as excited as when I was gonna watch it for the first time.

I can't wait to watch everything again... the hug, hehe, that was hilarious! Polyjuice... which was really interesting.

This time, I'm going with my aunts and cousins... Cik An, Cik Dah, Cik Nah, Bubu, Salman, Amir, Umar, oh the whole lot! I bet the theater will be noisy. But I won't mind it too much I think, since I watched it already.

Anyway, Shen Onn wanted me to come on last night to chat with Eunice and her bout HP. She watched it a second time already, with yu jie. She wanted to scare yu jie with the 'grasping Harry's hand in Knockturn Alley' thing. But my mum won't let me come online yesterday night. She says I spend way too much time with the computer. Grrr. I really, really, really, wish I had my own computer, in my own room, with which I can use at anytime of the day, for any length of time. I can even wake up in the middle of the night to use it! hmph.

So last night, I satisfied myself wih watching the JKR interview, 'Harry Potter and Me', on Arts Central, at 11pm. It was very informative!!!! Far more than any hp interview i have ever watched! She revealed lots of stuff. She said that in book five, Harry will find out a llot more bout his past, and a lot more boy-girl stuff cos hormones are working overnight when u're fifteen. She also said stg that left me in jitters - A lot more deaths are coming in the rest of the story AND there will be a death that is really quite painful to read.

OMG! What if it's Harry!!!??? I can never forget the time she said in another interview, "How do you know Harry's not going to die?" I was like... "WHAT?!" IF that happens... ohman... And it's not any better if any of the Weasleys die. If it's Ron or Hermioneit'll be just asbad as Harry dying. sigh. JK, please be kind to your beloved characters...

For the last chapter of book 7, which JK has already finished, she had written stuff bout the things that the characters are gonna do after they leave hogwarts, at least the characters who've SURVIVED. hmph.

OK, I've been typing too much. Will come back next time.

ok.... I'M BACK!!!! Hah. Watched the movie. hee.

First off, let's say that I'm very much happy with the movie. Of course there are flaws, on which I will elaborate later. But overall, it's GREAT.

Ok, before I go on, I must warn those of u who have stumbled upon my little blog and haven't seen the CoS movie. Beware...

SPOILERS GALORE! SPOILERS GALORE!




Daniel, Rupert and Emma were certainly more confident of their roles! They were absolutely wonderful. I would have to say that Lockhart was great as well. There was much less of Oliver (sorry Yu Jie!), less Snape... but more Draco!!! Hehe. His smirk is almost perpetual.

Now... for my favourite parts...

1) The Burrow!!! I simply love the Weasley house. The clock was extremely nice. But then... we didn't get to see Ron's room. Hmm, how sad. Ginny's appearance was real good, just like the book. She was totally shocked to see Harry there, and fled. But unfortunately we didn't get to see her elbow sink into the butter dish. hee. I realised Fred and George hardly cracked any jokes... cept for the part when they were gonna play quidditch against hufflepuff and they said that the hufflepuffs were terrified that Harry would petrify them. Julie Walters was VERY Molly Weasley. Arthur Weasley was ok too.

2) The Whomping Willow. WOW, I'd say. I really didn't expect the branches of the tree to be THAT big and thick. One hit and you'd be dead. The branches were supposed to have cut Harry and Ron... but then it would have been bloodier I guess.

3) Dobby is very... irritating... but that's how he's supposed to be I guess. I think he's alright. The banging his head against everything he can get hold of is... funny and... just very dobbyish. Oh, there was the part at the end when he blasted Lucius (Lu-see-years) with magic. Now... that is doubtful... when did that happen in the book? Are house elves capable of magic...? hmm.

4) I wonder if Tom Riddle and Harry do mean stg when they speak Parseltongue... or is it just a bunch of hisses? Trying to figure it out now... I do remember Tom saying stg that sounds like'Slytherin' when he was summoning the basilisk.

5) The basilisk looks like tha monster from MIB - according to Pui Man. Well , a little bit. The eyes maybe.hehe. Other than that, it was scary alright. No wonder they say little kids would be a bit freaked out by the movie...

6) I didn't know that going back in time meant that everything turned grey as well. Everything was grey... Hagrid 50 years younger had shorter hair, but apparently they couldn't show his face. sigh. Dumbledore had a shorter beard but the same raspy voice. Honestly, I think Richard Harris was already sick on the set...

7) Lastly (for todae at least), is about fawkes. The bird seems to be the only problem for most of us. Well, as soon as it appeared on the screen, Pui Man commented that it was ugly. Well... it did look robotic and the beak and head was blackish and i dunno... just weird. Eunice seemed totally upset that its cries were that of an eagle, when it iwas supposed to be the phoenix song. And the 'tears part' was a "failure". It just kind of cried onto Harry's arm and healed the cut. Oh and Harry didn't seem very pained by the cut anyway. Maybe a venomous fang pierced into your arm isn't very painful after all...

Ok... I'm kinda tired of typing. I shall talk bout it again next time. I haven't mentioned the polyjuice potion, moaning myrtle and the hug thing!!! so funny!!

tata

AAAHHHHH! It's finally Nov 14! It's 8:45 now, Singapore time. I'm gonna go out soon. I just had to write in here first. hehe.

WHen I come back later. I'll tell u how the movie is okie?

I am in the school's shaw lab now. Printing this catalogues for some photo thingy. wateva. Yes... tomorrow is the day I've been waiting for for about a year already. sigh.

Anyway, still no news of DV 11. It seems cassie went to the NY premiere. goodie. wish i was there and I don't care if daniel's shirt was hideous (fine I admit it OK?). He can dress in rags for all I care. I'll be happy as long as I'm there.

hmm... dunno wad to say. Ok, I shall say that I've watched 'A Knights' Tale'. It was FUNNNY! Contrary to what I had expected. The crowds watching the joust (the game on the horse) were cheering to Five's 'We Will Rock You'. Can u believe that? Since when did people of the middle age know about rock and roll? My bro and me burts into incontrollable laughter whenwe saw it. Really. Other than the modern twist... it was quite a predictable plot. I think Heath Ledger fits those kind of 'old' roles u know... like 'The Patriot' or 'Four Feathers'.

sigh. shall go surf for more stuff now. may post again later.

I'm online every single day now... and it gives me a terrible headache... Anyway, I watched 'A Walk To Remember' already. Why do some love stories have to be sooo sad? Just look at 'Titanic'! What happened to the happily ever after thing???

Honestly... me and Eunice are going crazy bout this turkey business. Absolutely looney.

Got school tomorrow. Tazneen called today. Darn. It's converting to JPEG thingy again. sigh.

2 more days to you-know-what!!!

I have to paste this quote before I go...

I've got a trilogy of "Draco stories" in the works, starting with Draco Dormiens, continuing on through Draco Sinister, and finishing up with Draco Veritas, in which I kill all my characters to prevent myself from writing yet another sequel and blowing the whole 'trilogy' concept.


--Cassandra Claire

okie tata for todae

Well... I guess today isn't too bad after all. See, me and my brother got TOO BORED that we decided to go out and rent some vcds. We rented... 'A Walk To Remember' (I've wanted to watch this movie for ages!), 'A Knights' Tale' (starring Heath Ledger) and 'Panic Room'. Well, at least I've got some entertainment in store for the rest of the days till HP. At least I won't be bored to death. hehe.

Okiie... shall go now. Oh oh... Eunice must think I abandoned her or something. I told her I'd be back after leaving for a while. Hmm. Hope she doesn't get the wrong idea!!! Wonder wad a mad turkey does for revenge...

Now, I'm not just bored... I'm pissed. There's stg wrong with bravenet.com. I can't seem to open Liyana's guestbook and I can't seem to open mine. There better be stg good happening todae, very soon, or else I will start tearing my hair out.

I think I'm becoming insane. *attempts to do ribena berry thingy... but fails* Darn, this day just gets worse and worse. I can't even be insane properly. And my internet connection just went off as well. Today is not my day...

I am SOOOO BORED! It's holidays... and I'm bored... how horrible is that? sigh. Mebbe I should go and do holiday homework... but that's no fun at all!!! aaaaggghhh! Mebbe I should start typing that Maths thingy for TK Wong... but that's no fun either... boo hoo. Eunice is watching oprah now... keeping her eyes peeled for the trio.

Maybe I just can't wait for Thursday. Maybe that's why I'm in such a bad mood. hmph.

I'll go offline soon. And come back later to do the Maths thing I guess. tata.

Today is just one... irritating, annoying and frustrating day. It's a Sunday. And like all Sundays I have my religious class, which begins at 11 am and ends at 1pm. However, most Singaporean HP fans should know that Kids Central is showing the CoS 'Behind the Scenes' show at 11:30 am. Obviously, the times clashed.

I was tearing nyself apart, deciding whether to skip class or not. I mean... we finished our exams already and everything... so i thought it would be okay to miss class. But then my mother told me to go anyway, cos I'll be receiveing my madrasah exam results. And so I did go. Sacrificing the HP show. Darn.

When, I got to class, I was the first to enter. At first, this seemed to be not anything out of the ordinary, since I was early. But as time passed, only a total of 12 people came to class, out of a possible hundred. I'm serious. I already felt like banging my head against the wall for not just staying home to watch HP. I thought all that was bad enough.

Then, ustaz came in and announced to the class that he hasn't finished marking. He only managed to finish 7, yes only SEVEN papers. Now, that, made me want to ... hit my head on the wall even harder. The fact had become clear to me. I came to class for absolutely nothing. I felt as though God really didn't want me to watch that bloody show. I am very pissed off.

Luckily, out of the seven papers ustaz marked, mine was one of them. I got an A1 - 78 marks. It's the highest SO FAR. 78 is quite sad really, compared to the 98 marks I got last year. Sigh.

Right now, I'm just really pissed that I didn't get to watch that HP thing. I feel like complaining to the Kids Central Channel for puting such inconvenient times for the show. Can't they show it more often!! Apparently, they're not aware of the extend of the fanatism of Harry Potter in Singapore. Hmph. HMPH. Grrrr. I feel so fed up!

Please let my guest book work......

hello.... i'm trying to change my blog template here....

Something funny is going on. Liyana's and Munirah's blogs do not seem to display the latest entries... I dun know whether there's a problem with my computer... or mebbe there's stg else. sigh. Liyana called me this morning and told me that mumu wrote stg bout how she complains a lot bout jiawen. then jiawen... who probably felt hurt i guess... left a remark in liyana's guestbook. stg like... "I didn't know you had a lot ot complain about me to munirah". sigh. wad is going on? I hope everything's just fine.

Remember... frens like each other despite each other's faults... that's wad frens are I think. Actually frens mean many things more... but that's one of it.

Ok... i shall quit rambling. Why am I rambling like this....?

I finally succeeded in putting a guestbook in here! How wonderful. I hope to hear feedback from people. I don't care who. Anyway, my mum doesn't let me surf the net for more than half an hour. boo hoo. darn.

got hp ticks todae!! I'm feeling very very jolly! We're going on Nov 14, 11.30 am at Suntec. By the way, I saw the HP underpass! It was great. Sounds and everything. Can't wait for the movie. I was practically squealing just now.

I'm taking part in another quiz to win the premiere tickets. I van't seem to register... so Eunice is helping me do it.Goodie. Hope I win. I dun care if we dun win actually. As long as I do get to watch HP in the end.

O-Levels are over. Hoorah again! happy... happy... shall go now... before i turn completely insane... ; )

I tried to put a guestbook... but it's not working. I hope I don't mess everything up again.

Now, I shall write an entry before I go study for O-Level Exam. It's the last paper for the day. And for the year! Hooray! Finally, I'll get my freedom...

Anyway, I can't wait for next week! We're gonna watch Harry Potter and the CoS on Wed... or Thurs. Honestly can't wait. The premiere in London was exciting like last year. And again I wished I was there. Sean biggerstaff had the weirdest outfit. He wore a tux and a kilt at the same time. Figure that out. But he is still good-looking. At least Yu Jie thinks so. She's suddenly going crazy over Oliver. Haha. And Daniel Radcliffe's was perfectly fine, contrary to what Eunice thinks. I haven't heard any other complaints about him from other people. So... the gala premiere in Singapore is on Tue, 12 Nov. I still haven't heard any news from the papers - whether I won that quiz or not. Sigh. Even if I lost, they should have the courtesy to let me know. Stg like: "Thank you for taking part in the quiz, but you LOST" sigh. Maybe I should try taking part in that other quiz on the channel 5 website.

Anyway, Paper 1 just now was... not too bad. But i think my Malay could have been better. I think I may have wrote too long even. The examiner will get bored. Darn, wad have I done?! oh heck, can't cry over spilled milk.

I should go back to study peribahasas now. And maybe Liyana can help me put up a guestbook in here next time.

OOOHHH! I'm soo happy. My blog finally works again. Thanks to Liyana... who feels like she's the world's expert at computers.

Anyway... since my blog was down for some time... i dint get to post anything. so sad. and now... five of us here... sitting next to each other... (Liyana, mumu, euni, jiawen and me) are on msn. chatting bout nothing. And Melissa just asked: "Why don't u guys have a conversation face to face?" Man, we are crazy.

I shall post an entry when i'm not so busy crapping with my looney frens
Byyeye

hello... testing... testing myblog.. hope my blog becomes alrite again. haha

Hellooo! Me at my aunt's house right now. All my cousins and brother and sister... (everyone else..) is swimming...I'm not... how sad. Anyway, Eunice finally finished the Draco Trilogy! She was so excited she called me up. hehe. Well, I was eager to talk to her anyway. I can't wait to chat to her bout it on msn soon...

Another thing...! I took part in this TODAY newspaper HP quiz. If I win I get 4 tickets to the HP COS movie premiere in Singapore. If I do win it, I'll SCREAM. I'm starting to fantasize all the possible scenarios of me winning the tickets... hmm.

Well, I'm using my aunt's comp right now. What should I do here...huh...? She doesn't have flash installed and the connection is terribly slow. sigh. I'm kinda bored. But they were saying that we should go to swensens. I second that. I miss brownies and ice-cream - my favourite kind of ice-cream. Yar, yar... fatten me u even more. Oh heck, the fasting month's coming what... eat all u want while u can.

Tomorrow, my granny almost made me bring my maid to the dentist. Then I remembered that me, mumu and liyana (why don't we start calling her Lili?...) are gonna watch a movie tomorrow after our malay lesson. Hooray! I hope we watch 'Four Feathers'. Heath Ledger is a good actor... and not too bad-looking too.

Malay... that reminds me. I haven't studied my peribahasas yet. God, this is O-level! I better study real soon.

Ok shan't stay too long. I'll try to put more DT quotes next time. Cya bloggie!

I can't believe it... I'm reading the same fanfic (Draco Veritas) all over again... hehe. But I'm skipping the 'skippable' parts, if u know what i mean. Here are more quotes...
~
Draco laughed, without real humor. "My father used to say that fate is what you call it when you don’t know the name of the person screwing you over."
~
(Ooooh... I love this shovel thing...!)
"I heard you’re taking Ginny Weasley to the Yule Ball," said Malfoy calmly.

Seamus was momentarily speechless. "So what if I am?" he said finally. "How is that your business?"

"Because," said Malfoy, and leaned forward until his face was inches from Seamus’. "If you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel. Got that?"

Seamus just stared.

"And if you tell anyone what I just said, I will still beat you to death with a shovel. I want to be very clear about this, Finnegan. Do you understand me?"

Seamus found his voice, although it was fainter than usual. "A shovel?"
~
"I wanted to talk to you about Malfoy," Seamus said.

"What about Malfoy?" Ginny asked, her voice flat and uninviting.

"Do you know if he owns a shovel?"

She blinked, thrown. "What?"

"Or a spade? A trowel, even."

"Why do I have the feeling that this has nothing to do with, say, Herbology?"
~
(Okay...this may be a bit err..heheh.. but very funny lah...)

"I went outside to meet someone," Draco said slowly. "And I wasn’t outside in the snow...I was up on a tower."

"The Astronomy Tower?" Harry looked interested now. "You told me people only ever go up there to have sex." His eyes widened. "Were you having sex?"

"I have a bedroom, Potter. Why would I go up onto the Astronomy Tower to have sex?"

"Well, who were you meeting, then?"

"Rhysenn, my cousin."

Harry gave Draco a blank, uncomprehending stare.

"The black-haired girl who came down the stairs with Charlie at your birthday party."

"So you were having sex!" Harry glanced at Draco’s ruined shirt. "She must be fairly wild."

"Potter, if you do not shut up about sex, I will twist your head off and use it as a Quaffle."
~
Ron smiled at him brightly. "Haven’t you ever heard the expression, ‘When life gives you lemons, make lemonade?’"

"No," said Draco. "I’ve heard the expression, ‘When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for.’"
~
I finally bought Hashim's present anyway. The 'Marvel Comics' calender and a CUTE giraffe-soft-toy key chain. hehe. I can't wait to see his face when he sees that giraffe. He's 14 and I'm giving him a stuffed giraffe for his birthday!!!

I think that should be it for today... harhar...

I've got more quotes....!! Yay..
~
Draco shook his head. “Sometimes I wonder about you, Potter. Where were you when they were handing out brains?”

“I don’t know,” said Harry, his voice dripping acid. “I’m afraid I accidentally got in line for ‘shred of moral decency’ instead.”

“It must have been quite a long line,” said Draco. “Apparently you were also too late for ‘good looks’, ‘fashion sense’, and ‘witty repartee.’”
~
Haha... that's all I can find right now... now, I have to go find tazneen to do this converting of photos to JPEG thingy... sigh

Oh... I haven't updated for quite a long time... how sad. I think it's because there hasn't been anything interesting that I feel like writing in this bloody blog... (I am so vulgar!)

Anyway... I still haven't pasted any quotes in here... so I will. But before that let me talk bout the boring things that has been happening in my life. It was my brother's birthday this past Sunday. Nothing special - poor boy. I think he really felt sad when no one turned up with a present for him in the morning. Haiyah... not that I meant to hurt him in any way... I just haven't BOUGHT the vcds he wanted yet... But luckily, we had mango cake at night. Delicious. I simply love mango.

My brother's present. I still haven't settled that yet. Where do I go to find an LOTR vcd? or even the spiderman one? I know... there are places in Singapore... but it's not very nearlah... and I don't have a car or a driving licence, in case anybody's wondering...

Depressing times are approaching once again... though it will be a shorter and less painful one than the EOY exams. My 'sekolah ugama' EXAM IS COMING... IT'S THIS SUNDAY. 'O' level Malay is coming closer too... sigh. big sigh.

Oh... i shall find those nice quotes now... before Mdm Tazneen gets here (I'm in the school's encounter lab right now) and our Photog meeting starts.

Oooh here's Draco with his usual sarcasm. Draco's sarcasm KILLS! (so says Eunice!)

"That'll be a lot of fun at parties. 'Hi, my name is Draco Malfoy and I can kill absolutely anything, what can YOU do?"


--Malfoy, DS

It's really funny how I have lots of ideas of what to write in my blog when I'm offline, but when I'm online everything in my mind goes blank. sigh.

Currently anyway, I'm going crazy over HP quotes, be it from the movie, books or even fanfiction. I love the quote by Dumbledore - "The fear of a name increases the fear of the thing itself". Of course, here Dumbledore was referring to You-Know-Who aka Voldemort. But I was just relating it to how much it is a taboo to say "pontianak" at night. The term I use is "Cik Pon". That's the way my family is at least. If u continue saying "pontianak pontianak" all night long, the thing might just drop in and say hi. hehe. I'm so full of crap.

Anyway, I love the Draco Trilogy by Cassandra Claire that I've made Eunice read. And wad I'm gonna do is read the nicer parts all over again so that I can paste my favourite quotes here! hehe. I shall start reading soon. Hopefully, we'll see more quotes in the coming entries.

I suddenly realise that I am so wasting time in front of the computer. I have a Malay compo to finish by tomorrow and I haven't written a single word. Just why do we have to go through this bloody exams!!! I hate them. Why can't we enjoy life.... all we want? This reminds me of mumu's depressing msn nick - "There is only one innate error: to think that we're put on this earth to be happy". hee. how true.

Reminds me of another nice phrase. "Ignorance is bliss". Now that reminds me of the movie Matrix. Cyprus is not that mean... he's just VERY confused with what he wants.

I still haven't told Yu Jie bout my blog! I should do that real soon...

I suddenly realise that my blog is slowly going to be filled up with incoherent individual sentences. I feel weird.

I should go. Hopefully I'll find a nice quote from Draco Dormiens/Snister/Veritas to put here later. Tata~

P.S. I'm reading IT (the Stephen King novel) too!! And so far it's been really great. I'm starting to see clowns everywhere now...

Ho! Finally I'm posting an entry at home! I'm getting bored staying online for sooo long...

Anyway, Eunice is gonna lend me her Stephen King book, IT. Can't wait to read it! I've been dying to get my hands on a great thriller since the end of exams.... and LOTR is just to slow sometimes for my taste... But I'm not saying I dislike it!

I can't type for long cos I need to have my bath. hehe.I'll come back later when I have more time.

I'm in school again.... and Malay lessons are gonna start soon. I hate this. Blagh... Malay the whole day.

Let's see. I'm bored. i shall talk bout... Liyana's blog. It is black... and so filled up!!!!!! Mine is soo empty and I have nothing to say or write right now...

I am sooo wasting space.Lalalalalala.....

Well, what happened yesterday was... I came back home with mumu... and... YES! I ate my grandma's specialty.... nasi rawan...damn sooo delicious... and my brother came home feeling absolutely jubilant over his marks which turned out to be... 56/100. Just what is his standard of easy?! ok i shall end my crappiness... and close this pensieve for today. buhbbye..

Haha. new name... ;)

Somehow... I managed to post the same entry three times... how blur can I get? Anyway, I can't wait to tell yu jie bout my blog! She'll be so happy with me! :) And I also want to ask her how she makes her blog so nice.... hm.

I'm still in school and I don't know wad to do right now.... getting bored... *sigh* and sleepy as well...

okaylah gtg

Okay.... I see.... this is how the blog works... Haha. I finally have my own blog. Works perfectly like any old hand-written journal. Less tiring too. Let's see. I should say stg bout myself since that's always the first thing I do in any new diary. Hm.

I'm Shamiah. Like duh! And... I like... HARRY POTTER! Haha. That's one thing that defines me. I love all kinds of movies too. Oh, and if u really want to distinguish me from the crowd of people out there, just bring your eye level nearer to the ground. If u're lucky u'll see me. hehe.

I'm feeling kind of cheery or just plain weird right now... maybe it's because the exams are over! (cept for the Os *blagh*) And even the checking of papers are over. I guess I didn't do that bad. I keep missing the A1 passing mark...that's all. Darn.

Well... I should go home now... I'm still in school but i think i should go now... Buh bye. Shall post more stuff later.
