Harry Potter Meme

01. If you went to Hogwarts, which house would you be sorted in?
Gryffindor

02. Have you ever been to a Harry Potter midnight release?
No. I prefer to wait for sun up.

03. What did you think of Deathly Hallows?
The book was boring but the film (Part 1) exceeded my expectations by a mile.

04. How many times have you reread the books?
8 to 10, I think. Wasn't counting.

05. Whose death was the saddest?
Fred Weasley, with Sirius at a close second and Lupin at third.

06. If you went to Hogwarts, would you rather have a pet owl, cat, or rat?
Owl. Way cooler.

07. What did you think of the movie Half-Blood Prince?
Eh, what? Couldn't remember a thing.

08. What do you think of Deathly Hallows being split in half?
A wise decision. The thickness and barrage of last-minute plots crammed  into the book would have demanded that kind of commitment. As mentioned before, I like Part 1.

09. Have you read The Tales of Beedle the Bard?
Uh, no.

10. When did you first become a Harry Potter fan?
Right before the 5th book, perhaps.

[On impulsive buyer mode]

Owh. I've been so tired these past few days that I hadn't had time to update or even surf the Net much -_-. Each time I plop down on my bed, I'll drift into a dreamless sleep and wake up still feeling tired. My stomach ache has abated so I don't know what's causing my exhaustion.

Yesterday was an exception because we had a surprise birthday party for Moon (Otanjyoubi omedetou!). Which then turned into a triple celebration for belated birthday girls Farah and Aunty Yong... Which then turned into a can't-run-anywhere-anymore discussion on work. As usual, we hogged Secret Recipe with our, um, rambunctious and slightly-hamsap group :P



Moonie got the new L photobook! And the rest of use were content by just meeting up with each other after such a long and strenuous month. ;D

Apparently Kak Bailah has also taken a fancy towards MatsuKen as L. She bought her own copy today. Now, while we were spazzing over the ridiculously expensive DoubleS jap photobook I saw something that made the DoubleS book literally fall from my hands... *points to below pic on farmost right*



Yep! *beams with pride* And so I bought the super duper gorgeous Luna Sea photobook since it was friggin 20% off. That's roughly 30 ringgit cheaper than getting it from YesAsia la wei. The thing was sitting there so prettily in plain sight that I just couldn't not have it, now could I? Besides, there didn't seem to be any other copies apart from this one. Heheh.

H-h-h-h-heh. *wipes grin off face* I keep reminding myself I haven't even paid for the Shinhwa albums.

if books (and money) grew on trees

It's painful to know that eventhough I have the money to spend on literary endeavours, I feel reluctant to pay such a ridiculous sum for a paperback romance novel. Bring back the good old days when I could easily afford a new-released novel for less than RM30! *blames the 60% of Malaysia's population who don't buy (nor read) books*

However, I do confess that my guilty new hobby of album collecting is the major reason for my reluctance. Apart from this, I can no longer find time to lie down (my favourite position) to finish a book in ONE day without falling asleep - I'd be too bloody tired to even pick my hands up.

So what do I do to assuage my deprivation? Illegal download, of course! Mwahaha! Hooray to bittorrent! All the.. erm, 'romance' e-books I've been wanting to read (like Jet Mykles' Dark Elves series) are just a click away. I've already started with 40 titles :D

But slouching infront of the monitor while tapping away at the Page Down key won't ever feel the same as having my nose burrowed into a book. Never! siiigh.

Raise your hands if you're a book-lover!

my sister spent a whopping RM200+ on books last Thursday at the MPH Warehouse Sale. i chided her after paying that amount (thank God for credit cards) but when else will you have the chance to buy a total of 14 books (i can't remember how many we bought) at THAT price? yea, book prices are shit these days.

i really had fun. not many browsers were there at the time we arrived. so we took our time to look at every corner of the place. BOOKS EVERYWHERE, i tell you. *sigh* haven't been to a warehouse sale in a long time. anyways, the array of books were AMAZING. in good condition too! the ones going really cheap were at the back of the warehouse, didn't find anything i like tho. most were Buffy and Angel. a lot of cheap children's and preteens' stuff. not so much of chic-lit was available. i just picked up random books with nice covers.. but still nothing i liked.

after around 1 hour at the back, we tawaf-edto the entrance again. ooh. saw some really famous authors on the way. the bestsellers are up here, and the price-cut for these ain't really big. RM25 for a normally RM34 novel is better than nothing, right? saw the new Shopoholic boo-- AHA! turns out the book i was destined to 'meet' was indeed there.

"Hello, Mdm Hobb. How are you? I'm fine thank you. Btw, you're my hero."

yeaaaah i finally got my paws hands on her final trilogy. whoohoo i'm sho proud of myself aaand also of my sister since she paid for 'em. mwahaha. two books and it totally made my day ^___^. she grabbed a whole lot of other books: Sidney Poitier, Stroud, Tash Aw, Barker, Tintin, stuff for the kids. 3 and a 1/2 hours of bliss. today was the final day, and the price would have been jawdroppingly, MADLY cheaper than before. ah well. i'm happy with what i have already ;D

oh hey, i just read the bad news in yesterday's papers about Hikki (Utada Hikaru, for the uniniated) divorcing her director-husband. 4 years went POOF. she's just released her Flavor Of Life single.. what an irony. another early-marriage gone awry? (she got hitched when she was 19)

half-blooded

i finally managed to finish HP:HBP yesterday. glad that's over. *sigh* it was tragic, really tragic. one of the most devastating cliff-hangers in the series. cried my sockets dry! imo, it's slightly better than the 5th book, 'Order of Phoenix'. but it could've used some boosting like in the first 3 books. right, now that that's done.. i can continue watching Boolsae and Pride.

oh, akhirnya siap jugak skin Hyesung ni. gosh, it took me longer than expected.. i delayed it for too long sampai dah takde mood nak siapkan. hehe. jangan marah ye, peminat2 Hyesung! nah.. nah.. sorry for coming out so lambat... >Hyesung - Bread of Love.zipPHS - Just Like Me.zip

the touch

i caressed Harry Potter's 6th book just now! ooh i was sooo longing to touch and hold it. but my heart was too weak... too weak to look it in the eye (ok, cover) and say, "I have no money to buy you today."

TT____TT i am SO gonna beg money from my dad to buy it within this week. waaaaaaaaaaaaaahh

misery aside, i met up with Farah, Erenah and Kak Naza in KLCC. we talked  only for a short while since twinnie-chan had to rush off elsewhere. now that my Wonderful Life (the Sorimachi Takashi drama) CD is back, i can ask my sister to quickly watch it before i hand it over to Nwar. yes, Nwar tak lama lagi ko boleh pinjam =].

on twinnie's request i shall upload my new skinfeaturing Eric Mun Jung Hyuk. download here>> Eric - Super Duper Sexy.

--------------------> this picture of Shinhwa oppa is too cute to be ignored. so i made a wallie =D. aah i miss them good old days when there'd be tons of clips of them having fun together ;(. resolution> click here for 1024x768 / click here for 800x600 ^_^
