I wanted to post something... but I forgot now. hehehe... *me and moi forgetful nature*
Ok, still in HP mood. My friends love it, and now, I sorta have the second thought. Well, I still like it, but somehow, if you wanted to compare it to the first one, let's see... the first one was new. Many new things to wonder, many new wizards to meet and interesting characters to know. As for the second one...
It's the curse of the book. I already know the bad guy is the bad guy because I read the book. And I know he can speak Parseltongue just because the book says so. It's just... there's no surprise. And the thing about the movie, they tend to underplay Hargrid's involvement. We all know he's half-giant, but the movie didn't explore that. Hence, that is why the ending look soooo flat in my opinion. They all clapped for him, yet, what have he done? It was more poignant and deserving if Hargrid's race was being explored more.
However, I can't wait for Movie #3. Definitely darker, more mature and hey! Since I heard a certain Ewan McGreogor will play one of the character... come one, Obi-Wan as wizard, that's just great! Come on... bring it on!

Went to watch Harry Potter 2 last night. What can I say? They said it's better than the first one, although, for me anyway, the subs underneath it really really annoyed me to no end. I understood English, but at the same time, it felt, ya know, I live in subtitles' world, and it's difficult to shut the subs out. *sigh* One of negative reason behind subs.
Malfoy Snr looks like Legolas gone bad. Really!
And... for me anyway, the action really started when the boy-wizard started to hear voices in his head. Now... that is scary. But the ending seemed kinda rush. I don't know, there are some parts of it that was being rushed. And what's up with Hagrid ending there????
Overall, a rather entertaining (not to mention tiring) evening for me.

 What's YOUR Writing Style? brought to you by Quizilla
You are a dark writer. A fierce and loyal follower of Poe and the other gothic authors, you LOVE to instill a sense of revulsion and somewhat fear in your readers. You love to poke their brains with logic dealing with the darker side of the human mind and character. Truly surprising and a true individual, you'll do ANYTHING to create a scene. :)
Could be. But the quiz is too short to establish anything.

How could you get obsessed with an anime you haven't watch?
It happened to me. The said anime is Gundam Wings, and well, you can blame the hype, but hey man! It was strong enough to pull me to check on the anime.
What had I found?
Heero Yuuy is cute! I love his eyes, and I love his smirks. It was probably because of his seiyuu, the great ol' Mirodikawa Hikaru. He was the one that provide the voice for Rukawa Kaede, that beautiful, fox-like character in Slam Dunk. The one character whom had been my obsession for so long now. So by default, I suppose I would like to check his other works too.
So I check all around internet. What have I found? I believe I wasn't dissapointed. Heero probably has the best quotes amongst the character. Such as...
Peace is nothing but a result of war
I can ponder on this statement for hours. In fact, I already did. Everything has to come to an end. And in the end of war, it was always peace. And when I think about it in vice-versa....
Life is cheap... especially mine
It really showed the angst in Heero's character. He perceived life as just that, then, he put himself as the main example for the profoundly sad statement.
Self-destruct? Not a bad plan.
Ok, I was laughing when I read this. Man! He and his suicidal tendency. Not to mention his dry sense of humour. Right...
You can take away the weapons, you can take away the suits, but if you can't have peace if you can't take away the war out of the minds of people
This wasn't said by Heero. It was by other character whom I forgot the name of. But man o man when I first read this, I was definitely blown away by it. It was so good, I felt compelled to check on this anime. Who could have thought it was uttered by a celluloid character? I went... wow!
So, will be dissappointed if the hype doesn't live up to its expectation? We'll see.

Which Tree was I from....
May 15 to May 24 - Chestnut Tree
CHESTNUT TREE (Honesty) - of unusual beauty, does not want to impress, well-developed sense of justice, vivacious, interested, a born diplomat, but irritates easily and sensitive in company, often due to a lack of self confidence, acts sometimes superior, feels not understood, loves only once, has difficulties in finding a partner.
Ok, let's see this slowly.... Chestnut? I like eating roasted chestnut. Just yummy! emmm.... *dreamy mode*
Honesty
Well, guys, am I honest to deserve an honesty tree?
of unusual beauty,
LMAO! *look at self* I didn't say it!
does not want to impress
Can somebody confirm if this is true or not? My schizophrenic natures tend to work overboard again
well-developed sense of justice
Oh yea... I treat everyone's the same. You pissed me off, you never live! I don't fricking care if you're the Queen or what!
vivacious
I need confirmation!!
interested
And the called me the All-Knowing Rivvie
a born diplomat
*look at the scars from the wars I've been to* How could I....
but irritates easily and sensitive in company
It could be... if those people don't smartened up. I mean, I can't think for everyone, can I? So, I probably irritates easily.
often due to a lack of self confidence
I'm shy! I am! Ok, maybe it's the lack of confidence...
acts sometimes superior
I don't have to act, because I am.
feels not understood
I don't even understand myself. So no worries mate.
loves only once
Could be....
has difficulties in finding a partner
Cos I'm damm choosy. *shake heads*
Man, ok, it could describe me (yea, even the unusual beauty part), but at the same time, it could also contradict me. So, just take it with the grain of salt.

I managed to see them yesterday. Wohoo! At least I am a wee late for my date, not *that* late anyway. So, after tons of seriously noisy screaming no-nonsense girls literally speaking their hearts out, what did I find?
Well, for one thing, I was really really really lucky and so grateful that my loan had been converted to scholarship. So, I don't have to pay for my study loan. I really don't. Me and my pathetic result actually get me through it. Oh I mean just wow. And for your useless info, that was about quarter of millions buks in local curreny. Sometimes, I was wondering, since there's no such thing as free lunch, what' s in it for me?

It's 6pm and I still stuck in the office. Why? Just why.... And I'm suppose to be somewhere at 7pm. But since I live in the city, I live in a very crowded city, I live in this totally traffic-induced, bad drivers city.... *sigh* There's nothing much I can do. Oh, I'm wet (well, at least my shoes are), it's raining, it's dark, it's cloudy.... perfect for a moody-mystery setting.
And I'm living it!!
*murderous look*

This is my first post. Gah! Sounds boring right? Yea.. I know. But but... is it really my fault they drained my creative mind's energy? Oui? Non? Stop writing crappy French and stick to improving your English dammit. Ah, guess what? I'm not making any senses. It could only mean one thing....
Oh oh... The Net will be flooded! Run!!!!!!!!!!!
