my image keeps disappearing, so i decided to kope from Ah Heng.

This is the first time i doze off watching a movie. Already been warned that it might be so but i tot i would be able to survive it but alas, the first 20 mins or so, i was practically dozing in and out of the show.

Only when the actions started then was i fully awake. Luckily i managed to grasp what the movie was showing. I tot the movie was rather sick though. Dunno wat the director was thinking…..as wat Ah Heng said, he must be smoking some cheap-ass Jamaican shit. Ha ha.I think dats all for movies in the month of July.

Attended Tribes and Tattoos: A Photographic Journey into the Hills of Taiwan with Caker on Friday. It was about the almost lost culture of facial tattoo of the Atayal Tribe in Taiwan. It was quite interesting listening to the culture and the various storiesof the remaining old folks.

Apparently there are only about 10 odd old folks with facial tattoo left and it is estimated that in the next 5 years, they might have passed on as the youngest of the lot is already 96 years old. Both caker n me teared at some parts where they showed video clips of the few last elderlys with facial tattoo.

I was kinda affected by this scene where the old women bid the person goodbye and passed away. It was all caught on tape. It’s the last action from the old lady and I just couldn’t get the scene out of my head.

There were a few performances (songs & dances) as well. We talked to them and apparently they are having a full performance on Monday but I could not attend as I have already booked tickets for the movie Paprika.

Took photos with the performers and we are quite honored that they wanted to use their camera and take photos with us for keepsake too. Anyway, one of them is from this group（北原山猫）in Taiwan which is quite famous also.

Attended the WWE Smackdown Tour with Ah Heng and 2 of his frens on Sat. The seats were quite decent and the show was really very entertaining. We participated in the cheering and jeering and the actions and movement were so much more entertaining watching live than on TV.

The last 2 matches were the best. Chavo VS Rey Mysterio and Bastista VS The Great Khali. (Ultimately it became a tag team match). I hope the next time Shawn Michael comes. Or John Cena. Hee Hee.

For more details of the matches, please visit Ah Heng

On Sun, Bin and i went site inspection at Orchid Country Club & Yishun Safra. Well, all i can say is we do not like OCC, Bin think Yishun Safra is acceptable and i still prefer Pioneer Spring. Ha Ha. Well, we will check out QianXi this week. Its fun to do site inspections.

For more info, check out here.

It was my Brother-in-Law birthday celebration yesterday. A causal family dinner at Vienna International Seafood & Teppanyaki Buffet Restaurant.

Food wise, i feel abit drop standard…..not as nice as before…but still acceptable….and my niece is really very adorable. She knows how to imitate sounds of animals and we alwaes will ask her to show it to us. I wonder will she think why are all these adults alwaes asking her to make so many sounds. haha

She is learning how to speak now and when i ask her to call me 婶婶,she will go 登登. So cute.

Isnt she just adorable??

Ah Ly and the colleagues were supposed to catch Paprika yesterday and we made an effort to rush down early to get tickets but it was sold out for both timings for yesterday. So we caught Simpsons instead since we were supposed to catch dat at a later date anyway.

Wat can i say? it was just hilarious!!! The usual shit from Homer….and the track “Spider Pig” is damn catchy. I should do my bit and irritate the colleagues. Will try to search for it hahah!!!

Spend $$ again loh!!!! I have Harry Potter VCDs at home but i guess collecting DVD is so much better so off i swipe and gotten part 2 and 3. My DVD collection, CD collections and all my books will look good in my future studyroom.

I had a dream yesterdae. I dreamed that Bin and I and have gone through our customary wedding. Everything was perfect. I was pretty (and thin) in my gowns and Bin was smart in his suits. Everyone was full of smiles and we were happy.

Our house was beautifully renovated and we were blissfully starting our new lives together.

And I was smiling when i woke up.

Re-reading again. Thumbs Up!

思念是一种病 by 张震岳 and Tanya.

I really find this MV very touching and romantic…saw an interview and 张震岳 said they find real couples for this MV so that the kissing scenes were more real…very simple, very down to earth…..kisses and love…

I was reading my Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows through the night on Sat and at 3am plus I heard people shouting, women and men. And some occasional pounding on the walls. Well it wasn’t that special cos there are people in my block whom alwaes chooses to quarrel in the middle of the night. But after a while the shoutings became louder and there were knockings on my front door.

Im a typical coward so I quickly went to my parents room to wake them up and that’s when we heard of the neighbours shouting “Fire”

We quickly open the doors and saw my next door neighbour house on fire! There was thick smoke coming out and ppl were bringing buckets of water to the rescue. I went back in the house and called the police while my dad went off with the bucket. There was this guy “Luping” at the door (Door Grill luckily were not locked) whom we initially tot is the police but it was actually a helpful neighbour. (He damn brave loh!! SALUTE!)

Their door was damn sturdy, and they could only managed to kick a hole through. They poured water through the hole and there was more smoke. I was so afraid there would be an explosion that I went and dragged my dad back to outside our flat. Police and firemen came and somehow managed to cut the door and saved the family of 4 inside.

Apparently, the smoke woke them out and probably had no way out to escape to the door so the father carried the 2 kids (aged 14 & 12) and put them on the aircon compressor unit outside the window!! Damn dangerous can~ and it was the shoutings that alerted the neighbours in the opposite block to the rescue.

The most scary part, police found tins of kerosene and lighter outside the house and suspect foul play by Ah Long.

Wah lau eh, usually I will go home ard 2-3am if Im playing mahjong but I went home early on sat to finish my harry potter. I cant imagine if I went home and saw the act in action, will they “silence” me?

Reporters came on Sunday and my mama really very joker de loh….want to hear the rest of the neighbours say wat so walked over but when the reporters asked her she just went “i dunno ah, dun ask me” then when ppl wan to snap pictures, she ran back into the house… haha

I hope the family of 4 will be alright. And my guess is, the unit beside my house will be vacant for a very long time liao

And i finished my Harry Potter. It was like a proper closure, after all the years. I had newfound respect for Snape. he was really a good guy from the start although Ah Heng begs to differ.

He say he was just being Chee-Hong. But it is this LOVE for Lily that protected Harry throughout the years. And he REALLY cared for him. I oso tot he did it just for Lily but in 1 scene, Dumberdole asked him through the years did he realli care for harry and snape replied in tears that he REALLI do.

OMG, i cant wait……im contemplating to go Popular early in the morning tml to get my hands on the final book. The series that dated for almost 17 years.

Unresolved Plot Elements:

• Harry will return to the home of his Muggle relatives, the Dursleys (whose cooperation has been requested by Albus Dumbledore), during the school holiday. The magical protection Dumbledore arranged, which requires Harry to have a home with them, is set to expire on his upcoming birthday, when he comes of age.
• Harry plans to visit the remains of his parents’ home in Godric’s Hollow. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger plan on accompanying him on this trip.
• Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour plan on getting married in August. Several of the main characters have been invited.
• Bill Weasley has been bitten by a werewolf (Fenrir Greyback); however, Fenrir was not fully transformed (he was not bitten on the day of a full moon), and we have yet to see the full effect of the bite. So far it has been said that Bill has merely developed a taste for steak cooked very rare.
• It is unclear what will happen to Hogwarts after the attack on the school at the end of Half-Blood Prince, but Harry has said he will leave school to continue his battle against Voldemort. If the school reopens, replacements will be required for Severus Snape (Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor and head of Slytherin house) and possibly Minerva McGonagall (Transfiguration instructor, head of Gryffindor house and deputy Headmistress) in the event that she becomes Headmistress.
• Wormtail owes Harry a life debt that has not yet been repaid.
• Harry must destroy all of Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes before Voldemort can be defeated. Dumbledore believed there were a total of six, and that two so far have been destroyed (the Gaunt ring and Riddle’s diary).
• There is no explanation at the end of Half-Blood Prince as to the true identity of the mysterious “R.A.B.”, who claimed to have stolen one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, a locket, with the intent to destroy it, while replacing it with a fake locket, later recovered by Harry and Dumbledore. Rowling said Regulus Black was “a fine guess” for R.A.B.’s identity in an interview.
• The true loyalty and motivations of Severus Snape have been unclear throughout the series. At different points in the series, Snape’s actions have either conflicted with his stated intentions or with his previous actions. Because of the contradictions in his behavior, Snape remains a potential wild card. This is in contrast to the other main characters who have very clearly chosen allegiances.
• It has not been explained why, when Dumbledore heard that Voldemort had used Harry’s blood to resurrect himself, Harry sees a “gleam of triumph” in Dumbledore’s eyes. Rowling has said that this is still “enormously significant”.
• It is still unclear if Sirius Black, Harry’s Godfather, is indeed dead or just trapped behind the arch. (He was not hit with the “Killing Curse” as shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)
• No one was credited with performing the magic involved with the spectacular flaming raising of the white marble tomb of Dumbledore. Whether or not this is significant taken along with Scrimgeour’s hasty assertion a few plot moments later that “He’s gone… not even Dumbledore can return from the—” creates a slight opening to hopeful speculation. However, J.K. Rowling has repeatedly quashed theories that state Dumbledore is alive.

Hints From JK Rowling

• Rowling drafted the last chapter of the book several years ago to give herself an ending to work towards. The chapter contains details of what happens to the surviving characters:
  • This is the thing that I was very dubious about showing you… this is the final chapter of book seven. This is really where I wrap everything up, it’s the epilogue. And I basically say what happens to everyone after they leave school – those who survive – because there are deaths – more deaths coming. It was a way of saying to myself, ‘Well, you will get it, you will get to book seven one day. And then you’ll need this!’ So I’d just like to remind all the children I know who come around my house and start sneaking into cupboards that it’s not there anymore – I don’t keep it at home anymore for very, very, very obvious reasons.
• Rowling has stated that there will be no Quidditch matches in Deathly Hallows.
• J. K. Rowling said in 2001 that Harry might get another pet at some point. Although Buckbeak may have filled this role (Harry obtained possession of the Hippogriff after the death of Sirius Black, albeit under Hagrid’s care), she also hinted that Fawkes, Dumbledore’s phoenix, might have another role.
• We will learn something very important about Lily:
  • Now, the important thing about Harry’s mother – the really, really significant thing – you’re going to find out in two parts. You’ll find out a lot more about her in book five, or you’ll find out something very significant about her in book five, and you’ll find out something incredibly important about her in book seven.
• Rowling has long said that the fact that Harry has “his mother’s eyes” is “very important.”
• Severus Snape has been an important and enigmatic character throughout the books, as his true loyalty has always remained unclear. It is to be anticipated that as a surviving major character, his loyalty will be settled in the final confrontation of the book.
• At the Edinburgh book festival, Rowling mentioned that something more would be revealed about Petunia Dursley. Nothing of note occurred in book 6, so this remains to be discovered.
  • ..there is a little bit more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye…She is not a squib, although that is a very good guess. Oh, I am giving a lot away here. I am being shockingly indiscreet
• Rowling has said that Ginny Weasley is quite powerful, that we have seen a taste of that in the past, and we will see it again.
• Viktor Krum is set for a reappearance.
• Kreacher, the former Black Family house elf which passed to Harry’s ownership with the death of Sirius Black, may make an appearance. Rowling told the filmmakers of Order of the Phoenix to include the character in the movie, because he is “very important”, after they had omitted him in a draft of the script.
• Sirius Black’s flying motorbike and the two-way mirror he gave Harry will return. In fact, Rowling has mentioned in one of her FAQs that the two way mirror “will help more than you think.” Rowling refused to comment whether Sirius himself might in some way reappear, but she has also said that there was a reason why he had to die.
• Rowling revealed in a 1999 interview that one of Harry’s classmates will become a Hogwarts teacher, though not Harry himself and ‘not who you think’. When asked, Rowling also ruled out Ron. This implies that Hogwarts will re-open at some point.
• Rowling clarified that “Dumbledore is definitely dead”, However, on the set of the Order of the Phoenix film, she remarked; “Dumbledore’s giving me a lot of trouble”. When asked “But isn’t he dead?” by Daniel Radcliffe, she explained; “Well, yeah, but it’s more complex….”

Here are some video clips of Wickham Street performing. Enjoy.

Oh and remember I was saying I went Julia Wedding News last week with Mag Mag and Karen? This week I acc Miss Lim down and after more tryings, we both signed the package.

I know!!! This is like only the 1^st shop we went to. I can only say, “They made us an offer we cant refuse” ha ha no lah. Actually I think wedding gowns are more or less the same everywhere and their wedding gowns were damn solid. Im more particular on evening gowns and customer service.

Anyway, their service was really good and even if we are just getting the very basic package, they treated us just as nice and their gowns are really quite nice.

Will update more on the wedding stuffs on our wedding site.

===
This weeked is simply food and more food. Ah Heng wanted to stuff himself silly with food so that he can have a good nite sleep before “Against The Wall” so together with Jerry and me, we went to Vivo City and ate at Modestos.

The Pasta was so-so but the pizza was very nice!

*Image Kope from Ah Heng.

Then on BOTH sat and sun, we had mala steamboat at Tanjong Katong with 2 separate groups of people.

I think i have enuff of steamboat. Please dun jio me for any more of that for the next 2 months. Burp!

Managed to retrieve my entry…
=====

Generally the movie was good, the portion on DA (Dumbledore’s Army) was interesting seeing Harry teach the rest the spells and the combat between them 6 (Harry, Ronald, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, Luna) and the Death Eaters.

But i was a tad disappointed. I know the movie would not be as detailed as the storybook but the movie left out too much important facts. Things like how Harry was angry with everyone on the lack of information, interview for the quibbler, the centaur teacher and Dumbledore did not explain the prophecy clear enough.

I tot he should do justice to the story by mentioning that Neville Longbottoms could actually be the chosen one instead of Harry and how the Dark Lord chooses Harry over Neville. And the best part, Quidditch was totally left out!!! And i was so looking forward to Ronald being Keeper. “Weasly is our King”

Anyway, i still enjoyed the movie and this time round, my favorite character is Luna “Loony” Lovegood. I think Evanna Lynch really acted very well.

I cant wait to get my hands on the last book, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows

NB, todae wat happen? Bin told me i got a double entry so i went in and check and my latest entry got deleted. PUI!!!!

In preparation for the last book, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows
