school starting soon..

Sigh. Butterflies fluttering in my stomach and palms turning cold and sweaty at the thought of school. I'm so used to not going to school, yet I'd rather go back to sec sch or jc rather than uni. The mere thought of the cors system gives me a headache. Hopefully by the time I reach second year I'd have completely mastered the use of the system.

It's so confusing. There are different requirements to fulfil, I dunno how to fulfil them. There are many different modules, the bidding system, then there's this timetable which shows that round 0 has already commenced yesterday. What if I missed something? I mean, what if I just stay at home everyday and then I won't know what is happening, I don't know that bidding has started and I didn't bid for anything... What will I study then? It's all so weird and confusing. Why don't they just give us a bloody timetable? Argh!

Plus I'm moving into hall this week The thought if leaving my home sweet home and living alone and having to be independent (the worst part is waking up. I wonder how I'm going to get to my lessons if I wake up at 2pm everyday. Alarm clocks simply fail.) fills me with trepidation. I'm so scared.

救命啊。。。

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Warning: there may be spoiler details below!!!

I know the new book is out.

I haven't bought it yet.

I read from the papers that Harry will win and Voldermort will die and one of Harry's teachers will also die.

Not so hard to guess that it's Snape.

I know that I shouldn't go look up the Deathly Hallows on Wikipedia cos there'll surely be spoilers. I shouldn't spoil the pleasure and experience of finding out for myself when I read the book.

But I just couldn't stand it.

I intended to take a peek, but I ended up reading the entire page and now I more or less know the entire story.

I cried reading the plot. Can you imagine, it's just the plot, it's not even the real book.

This book is so so very different from all the others before it. And so many people died.

[spoiler spoiler don't read on if you don't want to repeat my mistake!!!}]

Hedwig died. Moody died. I'd always found him to be tough and thought he was invincible. Fred died. Lupin and Tonks died, just after they'd finally embraced each other's love. And most upsetting (to me) of all, Dobby died.

Poor Dobby! He was ever so adorable and funny and loyal to Harry. He died saving them. Killed by the evil foul woman Bellatrix. Harry dug a grave for Dobby in the garden of Bill's house and marked 'Here Lies Dobby, a Free Elf'. Poor Dobby, freed by Harry once more!

I suppose because this is the last book of the series J.K.Rowling had to give an ending, but it's weird reading about Harry and gang grow up and get married (damn funny) and have kids (funny choice of names).

Can't wait to read the book.

Dream FMz



Whoa really excited when they went on 'Music in the air'..their singing rocks!!
Took these pictures when I was turning on the TV then so qiao3 it was the same episode of Smallville that I'd watched last year!!! It's about this girl who could control glass. She looks really like Emma Watson but I couldn't find anything about her on the internet...















Sky.





the clouds form a cross..cool right?



this was taken on Sentosa. Looking at the port and cranes remind me of the PSA tour I'd gone on when I was in P5.





Puffy clouds!!







Dusk at Just..

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I went to Cineleisure to watch HP with XW yesterday.



Me in the lift. :)

I'd wanted to re-read the book before the movie to, you know, freshen my memory, but unfortunately there were a lot of events and procrastination and in the end I couldn't finish it. On the night before the movie I pia the book all the way until 5am but still couldn't finish. Then next morning woke up early and finished until the part where Dumbledore explained everything to Harry.

A lot of people said that the movie was lousy, but that did not deter me from wanting to watch it for myself.

I must say, it's pretty disappointing. It was way too packed and way too many modifications. I know they have to modify, for there is no way they can pack a 800-page book into a 2-hour movie. I just think it's a pity. The movie doesn't do the book justice.

And XW was right, I shouldn't read the book just before watching the movie. I was busy comparing both throughout thr movie.

After Harry used the Patronus charm, Mrs Figg (her acting was weird) did not appear angry..supposedly because they remove Mundungus from the movie.

Harry received the letter concerning his expulsion from Hogwarts, but did not find out about the hearing until he arrived at Headquarters. There was no Howler. The Dursleys left the house to bring Dudley to the hospital, not to claim some phoney prize. The Order and Harry were supposed to fly really high to avoid Muggle detection, but in the movie they flew just slightly above the sea.

In the book there were a lot of shouting by Harry, but in the movie I supposed they wanted to cut time he just yelled a bit and stopped when Fred and George Apparated beside him.

At the hearing Harry was already late, yet when he and Mr Weasley arrived they saw Fudge and Lucius MAlfoy whispering along the corridor.

At the start-of-term feast when Umbridge coughed and interrupted Dumbledore, Dumbledore was supposed to look mildly surprised and then appear as if there was nothing in the world he'd like to do more than to hear her speak, but in the movie Michael Gambon looked simply shocked. I really prefer the former Dumbledore. This one is so unsuitable. He doesn't possess the authority and command and dignified air of Dumbledore at all. And in the scene where Dumbledore's Army had been discovered, in the Headmaster's Office, he was actually SITTING on the table. So inappropriate!

A lot of scenes were deleted. There was no Quidditch at all, no St Mungo's, no Valentine's Day date with Cho Chang, no Rita Skeeter, no Dobby!!! Dobby was supposed to warn Harry that Umbridge was coming. Instead, they change to Filch spying on the DAand Umbridge using Veritaserum on Cho Chang and blowing off the wall to capture them. It's supposed to be Marietta, not Cho who told Umbridge. And just because they didn't want Dobby in the movie, they made Neville discover the Room of Requirement while he was walking along the corridor, when in fact you need to walk by THREE times, concentrating on what you need.

Sirius's appearance in the fire changed too..this time his head was in the flames, while in the last movie his head was the shape of the charcoal and ashes.

They changed to Umbridge invigilating the exams, there were no examiners.

Harry saw the vision of Sirius being tortured by Voldermort after Fred and George flew from Hogwarts, instead of during History of Magic OWL. Harry, Ron and Hermione went to Umbridge's Office to use the Floo network, then with no link whatsoever Ginny, Luna and Neville were caught as well.

At the Ministry of Magic, the movie only depicted the room with the prophesies and the room of Death. After all the fighting only Harry and Neville were supposed to be left standing, but in the movie I supposed because they weren't much hexing in the first place, all of them got into the Room of Death. Dumbledore didn't appear in the Room if Death. He entered the Atrium via the Floo network.

Argh Sirius should have given Harry a Two-way mirror but instead he gave Harry a picture of the original Order, which should have been given to Harry by Moody instead. Sirius was supposed to be Stunned and then died because he fell through the veil, but in the movie he was hit by the 'Avada Kedavra' charm (at which he's supposed to die immediately but he appeared ahocked) and fell throught the veil. Aiyo...

The scene where Dumbledore talked to Harry in the end was very shabbily done, so I feel that people who have not read the book won't understand what Dumbledore meant.

Sigh..poor Sirius.

beauty

This is one of the songs from Cyndi's first album. Actually her songs used to be not bad..but then after 《爱你》就cmi...




玫瑰 爱情的颜色 下雪 爱情的天色
太美他们把爱情形容得好美
玫瑰 扎痛了我的眼 下雪 我冷得掉眼泪
不美 他们的爱情 因为怎么不同感觉

(别再说 别乱说) 说得言过其是
(太难懂 太不懂) 关于我的伤痛
(你没说 他没说) 爱情是否伤得人伤到心碎

从今以后让我飞让我飞 没有谁说得才对
我要自己看看这世界
爱情到底有多美有多美 美不美得过音乐
什么舞步让我自己 重伤也要感觉

玫瑰 带刺才完美 下雪 白色的泪水
beauty 美丽在爱情 给你加了一些机会

(别再说 别乱说) 说得言过其是
(太难懂 太不懂) 关于我的伤痛
(你没说 他没说) 爱情是否伤得人伤到心碎

从今以后让我飞让我飞 没有谁说得才对
我要自己看看这世界
爱情到底有多美有多美 美不美得过音乐
什么舞步让我自己 纵身一跃感觉

home sweet home

For the past few days I've been going back to school to help out in rag. I don't really like doing the floats..I'm just not good with my hands. Can't be much of a help. :P

The only consolation is that I sometimes get to see a guy whom I have a tiny crush on. Haha

不想说

this is the opening theme song of 《法医X档案》。

爱太赤裸裸 像枯萎花朵 加速凋落 保持距离 神秘的空气 挑逗你我之间 急促呼吸 不善言语 沉默中猜疑 你会因为好奇 对我著迷

我已习惯不说 你若想懂我 就要慢慢揣摩 我虽然不想说 已被你迷惑 我不想说

好多年前

女:好多年前   你不經意地住進我心裡 使我今生再也不能脫離
男:好多年前   你已默默為我哭泣 叫我來世也虧欠你

女:沒有人告訴我 幸福是什麼   幸福對我 是你綻開的笑
男:沒有人告訴我 犧牲是什麼   犧牲對我 是你的代號

女:好多年前 我們牽手 聽海在笑 看花兒睡覺
男:現在花兒醒了 海也哭了 我們都已經管不了
合:我知道 我知道   就算不能擁有明日的你 我還曾擁有過去

别以为我不懂

男:想要锁住你的深情 不让流失在长长的岁月  想要握住你的寂寞 不让放纵在冷冷的空间

女:想要擁抱你的靜默 不求你給我什麼承諾  想要輕吻你的執著 但願今生能和你渡過

合:愛情 是一阵雾飄過 為你為我 連風也迷惑  愛情 是一場雨灑落 為你為我 連雲也不說

男:別以為我不懂 我只是沒有說  你的歡笑 你的流淚 已成了我永遠的醉
女:別以為我不懂 我只是沒有說  你的成功 你的失敗 早已超越我的未來
合:別以為我不懂 我只是沒有說   有你相伴 今生我已无悔

牵动

this is the ending song of 《再见萤光兰》。

沺:愛無影無際隨意如風 吹進我心中填滿一頁美夢  心不經意被愛牽動 千言萬語傾訴在眉眼之中

芳:情似遠似近迷離矇朧   但讓我的夢是感覺風情千種  是愛情早約定此刻相逢 用愛情深深相擁

合:把世界一起包容

沺:談談心 作作夢 心情輕鬆   細細雨 暖暖風 吹送  在心中(在心中)

合:你的深情我會懂

芳:唱唱歌 說說笑 心從從容   深深情 默默意 流動  在心中(在心中)

合:愛的世界我會懂

沺:我會懂

芳:我會懂
