If you could be anywhere, where would you be? 



I really have nothing to type about. I lead a really boring life and I'm an equally boring person. Yesterday was my first day back at school after my one week long H1N1 MC. It was super tiring and PE was.. Random? We had to use an umbrella-like weapon to poke people's calves for one minute and that's all we did. Hope next week's would be better. Less stoning and all. Meh.

P.S. Someone changed the screen's display settings or something, everything look so wide and ugly. And I can't fix it D:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (II) 



It's perfectly alright if the movie sucked for you. Some of my friends are disappointed by the movie and I'm fine with it. Really. Somehow, people don't quite believe me when I make this statement. But no, I'm honestly perfectly alright.

Everybody's got some expectations of their own and even for myself, I can't say I'm 100% happy with the movie. There's certainly scenes that I hoped that will make it to the final cut but they did not. There's bound to have displeasures, disappointments, annoyances and irritations here and there and I accept constructive criticism, even though it's really none of my business, even as a overly-obsessed HP fanatic.

What pisses me of is the attitude of some certain people. I've to confess that I wouldn't care how they tried to bring the movie down if it isn't Harry Potter.

But unfortunately, this is and I can get rather defensive about it.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 



Half Blood Prince is awesome!

I'm not saying it's perfect because
there's defintely parts which make me go "?" and "!"
but I can definitely see the efforts to stick
as closely to the book as possible
(after being blasted horribly that OOTP was
way off the print lol).


I know that there's people out there saying how much it sucked and all that shit? These humans, obviously, lacked the ability to judge for themselves. I've been reading what others have to say about the movie by googling and I see this comment gazillion times.

Phrased in my own words, "HBP is the worst movie I've seen in the series! I read so many good reviews about the movie and I expected so much! But the movie sucked like the rest!!"

...
...
...

CRAZY RIGHT.

Since when are the people so gullible to believe
everything they read?!
Since when huh since when.
Their own problems that they expected so much can.
Nobody planted the expectations in the brain lor.
Siao.


"HBP is the worst movie I've seen in the series!"
People've been saying for almost six years already, ever since Prisoner of Azkaban came out. So make up your mind please, are the movies getting worse by the minute, or all these people say it for the sake of saying it just because of a tiny and negligable amount of displeasure?

"But the movie sucked like the rest!!" So according to them, being let down by all the previous installments, hasn't taught them anything at all and they are stupidly naive enough to believe that this movie's gonna rock their world all of a sudden like.. Magic.

Sorry, shit pun but true.

And then some self-proclaimed Harry Potter fan started going "Don't even talk about being a fan of HP if you've never read the book you effing retard! You have no idea what you are talking about," when she's talking about herself.

And I quote from her, "Take for example the part where Bellatrix & Death Eater gang appeared at Wesleys house and created a fire crop circle thing and chased them around. How come I don't remember that part at all? Can someone englighten me and point out which chapter it was from?"

Zzz to the epitome can. If you really are a Harry Potter fan, you would know that the scene's a representation of what the Death Eaters' countless attacks. By burning down The Burrow, it gives the movie-watchers a more in-depth pacing who did not read the books. Watching the scene from Harry's point of view is more expressive than looking at some unknown people's houses being burnt from the news reports. I know I sounded technical but .. Zzz.

And she mispelt Weasley. Honest mistake for a HP fan or she never really knew the correct spelling for the word? There's always the benefit of doubt there so I'm not going to get all worked up about it.

Also, "Or what about the Death Eaters wreacking havoc in muggle world, fucking up the bridge and all? WHAT'S THE OUTCOME?????"

The blasting of Millenium Bridge in the movie act as a representation of all the Death Eaters' doings in the book. It is to signify that the rise of Voldemort does not only cause detrimental impacts on the wizarding community, but to the muggles as well.

All these are in the first chapter, and the bridge part is in the first page somemore lor. So you might want to ask JKR herself for the answer to that question of yours.

And here comes, "Also, I really hated the stupid lovey dovey parts! Honestly, who the fuck wants to watch Ron and some random chick snogging? I'd rather watch Ron & Hermione get together and in the end nothing much happened between them also! Just flirting, sort of, WTF?"

Me. I really want to watch Ron and Lavender embrace each other because I think they are really cute together. This is my honest opinion okay -.- And about Ron and Hermione ended up with pretty much nothing is also written by JKR in the sixth book what. Shall I pose the same question as you did: Can someone englighten me and point out that this isn't from the book?

Even though I agree with her that I wished the producers paid more attention to Dumbledore's funeral, instead of just lighting the wand at the Dark Mark in the sky, which by the way, looks magnificent.

(P.S. I've nothing against the blogger, only the comments she made. She has always been nice enough and I really do enjoy reading her blog
and I still do. And she's pretty! Okay I know being pretty or not has got nothing to do with this discussion. I just don't like how the comments were being posted, it's like challenging the rest of the population who loves the movie, like me. I know everyone's got their freedom of speech and so do I.)

And I know that there are people who are disappointed by the film. I don't have any problem with them because there's nothing anyone can do to please the entire population of the world right? What pisses me of is the way some people choose their words, it's as if they don't have the enough amount of brains to do so.

For me, I don't really know what to say about the movie honestly, there's so many things about Harry Potter going through my head that I can't think straight. Like I've said at the top of this post, I admit that some parts do make me go "?" and "!" even though they are not nessesarily bad.

Like the inferi scene, those little creatures look abit like Gollum and I was giggling when at least half of the cinema have not overcome their shock when we were startled by the sound effect.
And about Draco! It was never explicitly stated in the book that he has already been branded by Dark Mark.

But since, JKR approved the script personally (this should shut a hell load of people up :D), I think that Draco has indeed, joined his father as a fellow Death Eater. JKR is one who take her series seriously and she doesn't approve the script blindly. For example in the original script, Dumbledore once had a line about how he's got a crush on some girl but was corrected by JKR, stating that our dear old Dumbly's gay.

I was abit surprised by how good looking Cormac is (so I approve of Hermione's choice definitely) and how Fenrir looked like Filch. And for the record, Dave Legeno is really quite handsome too for a 46 year old!

About Dumbledore's funeral, like what I've stated, I was looking forward to it but the moment where Fawkes appeared, I know it's gonna get cut ):

Lastly, about the appearance of Cho Chang. I don't see her anywhere in the film? Is it just my eyes or what? I thought she'll be the one who got cursed by the necklace because Katie was signed on for the sixth installment, much to her surprise and mine, because the number of times Cho appeared in the book was abit depressing. Then the trailer came out, and it was Katie Bell who got cursed, just like what happened in the book and I was like "Maybeeee Cho's gonna replace Leann?" But no leh, Leann's still Leann in the movie ._.

But I was really happy with how the rest of the film went! Pacing's good for me, cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel is amazing as well, the cast acted brilliantly in the film. I particularly enjoyed Jessie Cave and Jim Broadbent!

And needless to say, Tom Felton is well loved by all of us. For the rest of the population, HBP gave us opportunity to discover Draco's inner feelings, hidden by the shell of the annoying twerp he was and it was so sad. Really really sad. For me, I've always been a major fan of Tom and nobody would disagree with me, always loved him more than the other casts and I finally understood my obsession of him. He's a darn good performer, acting and singing as well, and has always been breath taking (if you can say that about a boy). Everytime he appears on screen, something inside me twitched. Even if he only appeared in a news clipping.

I heart Draco. Yay (':


P.S. I might not make sense to some but really, a suspected H1N1 patient who's burning at 39 degrees when typing out this post is highly emotional and easily agitated. Especially when she's talking about something she's highly devoted in.

Quarantined. 



Quarantined.

But that wasn't before I watched Harry Potter this morning!
Which, by the way, is awesome
because it stayed true to the book.
Except the fact that Fenrir looked like Filch.
But I'm not complaining :D

Need to blog about it tomorrow.
Because I don't want to forget.

Pre-HBP Hype 



Yesterday's got to be one of the worst days I had this year because during the HT period, my home tutor said CY's down as a H1N1 suspect and Mahes and I got super worried, realllyyy worried. If he's gotten the flu, then his classmates (who happens to be the two of us as well) would have to be quarantined for seven days. And that means ..

Missing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Which would be super sad! And devastating. So I asked super loads of random questions like when is him getting his report back and when does the quarantine starts and all. Which then, leads to this ..


On my home tutor's FB and ..


On my Twitter.


Mr Wong really doesn't understand the importance of Harry Potter to me (and Mahes) and he keeps brainwashing us by telling us that Star Wars is the same as Star Wars, under the don't-know-what-heroic-something rule from don't-know-where.

But there is one major difference: Harry Potter has got better looking actors and actresses than Star Wars. Think Tom Felton and Emma Watson! As compared to err.. I don't know, Yoda? I know Yoda's an animated character lah, but don't you think he looks really grumpy? Meh. Even Dobby is 10000 times cuter and he's now my favouritest character after I read how he died to save Harry and all! Super touching can )':



RIP Dobby
A free elf who died a heroic death on March 1998.


Okay, maybe Kreacher is also the unhappy sort whose ultimate fantasy is to be beheaded and have his head hung on the wall just like his mum. But he's gotten so lovely at Deathly Hallows and it's so hard not to like him!!!

OH YAH. HARRY POTTER GOT HOUSE ELVES BUT STAR WARS DON'T HAVE (Y)


Jingyi's reply to my update


And my reply to Jingyi's reply


And since I'm on the topic on Harry Potter already, I might as well post this here too. I cannot understand how there's any people in the world who has the ability to reject Draco's love. Sigh.


D:

P.S. It's confirmed that CY's a negative, high fever only. Heng ah, no need to miss HBP. Super happy can :D And the conversation between his mum and Mr Wong is super funny bhahahaha. Anyway, I'm watching it on this Saturday! :D Wanted to watch it today but tomorrow got school, am scared that I can't sleep and wake due to severe hyperactiveness. Wanted to watch tomorrow but I got tuition -.- So yeah, left Saturday only. Aiyah, since I've waited it for two unbearable years already, might as well wait for two more days.

First day back after Prelims 1 



So today's the first day back at school after two painfully disastrous weeks of examinations and I don't exactly like how today went but then again, I never really liked the first-day-back.

I found out all the people I dislike are in my GP consultation class. I can't believe my luck sometimes. During PE, we took our weight and unfortunately, me has gained 600g. We also had to learn this racial harmony dance thing and I had melted under that sun. I have finally become an NC25/NW20 during the holidays and exam period but I think that I have became tanner now. Meiling said I resembled an apple after the dance when I asked her whether I looked like a crab or not. And I did put on sunscreen can, SPF65 somemore. Zzz.

And one last thing, it's been awhile since I posted my face here. So below's a picture to annoy anyone who think people should bare their faces everywhere and anywhere they go. I like to irritate people who disagree with me even though I don't know why. I guess everyone pretty much feel the same way as I do too.


Me loves Kelly :}

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Today's word of the day: Mahjong. And Meiling would always be there to remind us when we've neglected or forgotten this word. Bahahahaha :D

Kai Z Feng 



I think Kai Z Feng is such a brilliant photographer
and I'm blown away with what he did to Tom.
One of the very amazing pictures here :}


Totally love this (':

And I'm waiting (impatiently) for the
Drama magazine shoot to be out,
but like very slow leh.
The shoot with Kai Z Feng's so much later
and we're able to see some of the collection already.

And uhh, my desktop crashed about a week ago,
(right after I changed the keyboard -.-)
so everything's gone.
Pictures, music and photos (!! with Aska D':)
Lucky I have the sense to upload like 1% of the
photos I took of/with Aska on Facebook.
Better than nothing )':

POA paper 2 tomorrow!
And I want Jill Stuart Eye Jelly 10 <3>
