I have been longing to rant about the Deathly Hallows (or as my jiejie Audrey says: Deathry Harrows xD) ever since I finished reading it. Don’t worry. I will try my best not to give away too much for the benefit of those who have yet read this wonderful ending to the Harry Potter Saga.
Now, I shall announce my favourite characters. Some of them have changed over the course of reading the last book, and one surprising character made it to my top 3 after I finished reading book 7. Now, my top 3 favourites, in no order of merit are:


Ginny Weasley


Stubborn, yet with a tinge of death, some parts in the Potter Saga has indeed made Ginny look and sound scary (bat bogey hex). However, she has remained one of my favourites all through books 6 and 7 because of the very same reasons above, as well as her split personality. She could be the sweet little girl one time and a deathly witch the next.


Luna Lovegood


What can I say? She stands by her believes (Crumpled Horn Snorlacks), not to mention her radish earrings. What I’m trying to say is that she knows when to believe herself, and ignore the comments of others, however insulting they might escalate to.


Neville Longbottom


Yes. In case you were wondering, this was the one I was mentioning above that just made it to my list. You could say it was quite a feat for Mr. Longbottom. Regardless, he proved himself worthy of my top 3 list in the last book.


Those who almost made it:


Fred and George Weasley


Funny and witty, and oh how they can joke even when they are in moral peril. It’s not always fun and games for these 2 young entrepreneurs, as we have seen in book 5 when they were worried for their father. In fact, I’m starting to think why I left them out.


OKAY. TOP 4


GINNY, LUNA, NEVILLE, FRED AND GEORGE


Hold on. That makes 5.


*fumbles with notes*


Okay. Top 5.

Finally Back!!!

Yay!!

Finally! Time to blog!!


Jun You came back 2 weeks ago and kc, Tracie, Eunice and I met him during our youth day holiday! We went to town and he generously bought us all a cup of Godiva Chocolate (YUM~!!) which cost like freaking $8 a cup!! Thanks jy! Went over to marina square where he bought a buffalo (jeans) and a sweater from a shop whose name is oddly familiar yet I cant seem to place a name on it right now. We went to Skin where he tried these really retro jeans which didn’t look like something he would wear, and seriously, I think he made the right choice in buying the buffalo (jeans). Went to orchard next where Amos made and appearance. We went to Chanel and Dunhill, then off to Taka’s Godiva to buy chocs for jy’s friend in Aussie. Eunice, Amos and I had to go to 11A class dinner so we left them, whilst tracie left for home. Kc and jy went to Si Hui’s new house (I want to go!!).


The class dinner was good, despite the fact that half of us – me included – were late by more than an hour. We walked from Marina Bay mrt to the steamboat area which was freaking far in! I was drenched in my own sweat (one second thoughts, of course my own sweat…). CT and the others who were there had already started. We took another table and started piling our plates with GLORIOUS FOOD! Boon Ping and Louise refused to touch the raw prawns (still alive) so Zhi Jun and I went to wash them. I admit I was abit apprehensive at first not being used to it and all but the prawns were well behaved and only once did I feel a squirm at my palm. (CT absolutely refused to eat the prawns because according to him, certain animals release a poison as they die and he said looking at how the prawns slowly (and pitifully) died in the pan, he could not imagine how much poison was being secreted.) in fact, only Zhi Jun lined the prawns up for the slaughter, although I did move them around in the pan. The result? Zhi Jun ate most of the prawns and forced all of us to eat at least one or two prawns. After the dinner we sang happy bdae to Boon Ping and we tried to call a cab. Never try to call a cab at 9pm on the night of a holiday. All you get is the automated answer. So I stood like an idiot for 45mins hoping to hear humanity at the other side of the line but it was to no avail. We finally took the bus back to the mrt and took the mrt home -.-


Went to have a farewell dinner for jy on Thursday night. We went to cwp’s Dian Xiao Er and the food was really quite good! One thing I cannot resist saying is that their white rice is labelled in the menu as ‘Superior White Rice’. Hahaha. Snuck out with Si Hui after ordering on the pretence of going to the toilet, which I later realised was a bad excuse since we visit different toilets (I promptly told Si Hui or Si Hui told me… I forgot… that we were SISTERS) I can still remember how we served each other that day, everyone piling food on each others plates for the first few minutes, yet not palcing a touch of food on our own plates. The result was a plateful of food for everyone! Si Hui was curious when I walked over, and then she realised that I was going there to serve her cause my arms were too short. Haha. We ate a choc cake which Si Hui and I snuck out to buy and we celebrated jy’s and Eunice’s bdaes! Almost everyone went to kc’s hse and I walked them to under kc’s flat where I bade goodbye. I wanted to stay but time tragically pulled me away. Sobsob


Jy leaves tml, 11.35pm.

take care

Life is like a boat - Rie Fu

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who’s gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?
We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can’t escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day
dooku de iki o shiteru toomei ni natta mitai
kudayami ni omoe dakedo mekaku shisarete tadake
inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made
Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don’t give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong
hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku mukedashiteku naru
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o tsureteku
And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore
Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?
I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I’d feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong
tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo
tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de ume o terashidasu
inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made
And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore
Unmei no huneoko gi nami wa tsugi kara tsuki e to watashi-tachi o sou kedo
Sore mo suteki na tabi ne, dore mo suteki na tabi ne

heyya guys! I'm bacck from another escapade with SG17!!!

Went to Dhoby and smsed Kah Shing, who then told me they were at cine =.= So off to cine! Derrick, Kah Shing, Vivek and Kenneth a.k.a Wawa a.k.a Daddy Kenn were there playing lan. went off to paly pool as soon as i arrived. We played for an hour, then went off to meet Michelle a.k.a Mummy Mich, who was at dhoby waiting for us for close to 20mins! Sorry Mich! Jerome and Asher came soon after. Meanwhile, wawa and Derrick left us T_T so the remaining 7 of us went to swensons where i ate this horrible satisfying salmon and mushroom baked rice. The topless 5 ice-cream was good, though. No wonder there are famed for their ice-cream. We ordered 2, since we figured that would be cheaper than the Earthquake. We practically almost ordered all the chocolate flavours! Lime sherbet was niceeeeee!!!

Went to mind's cafe after that. Played this game called Snorta for half an hour before heading home. Oh did I mentionw e got gifts for Mich, MJ and Derrick? (Birthday). Mich got this pink pillow with a face thingy, Derrick got a magic the gathering booster pack (LOL) and we got MJ a miniature toy car (Dream car ok?).

It was kinda sad cause some schools havent finished exams and none of the other girls came. Zhi Yong didn't come also T_T

ah well, off to bed!
