HPOotP

I'll be 16 in a month!
Hahaha look at my profile on the right ---->
18 August! It's a Saturday by the way. At least this year it falls on a weekend, it can't coincide with a common test, class test or prelim paper.
I'm not hinting anything, no.
Since when has my birthday been nice anyway?

We had our health check today, the nurse didn't make me buy a new health booklet!
And I wasn't asked to take my height and weight so does that put me in the 'acceptable' range now? I don't want to remain 'underweight'!
It so happened that I decided to come to school in spectacles instead of contacts today, and so now I know how bad my eyesight really is.
I couldn't even see the LARGEST letter on the eye check thingy with alphabets of different sizes.

Level morning jog today was kinda short.

I'm half hoping I won't get shortlisted for the DPA...
Even if I do, I can still withdraw from it next month (=


*SPOILER ALERT, HPOotP*

From Elaine's blog,
the show overall was not what i expected it to be, there's is so little action, story is so short while the book is so thick.
And they miss a lot of parts from the book.
Those who had read the book will know and their reaction the movie would be the same haha.

I went to watch Harry and the Hogwarts gang after school today, with Xi Ying and Sara.
We planned to go to the Cathay, but went to AMK Hub instead.
Why? Cos' the movie tickets there are sold at $6 before 5pm for students! =D Cheaper.

I think yours truly was the one with an "emotional range of a teaspoon" (not just Ron).
The suspense level was like this throughout:
--------------------------------------------------------
That's how I feel about it la. Sirius Black's death was too brief, it should have been more dramatic.

1) The dementor attack scene was too short!
2) Where was Harry's trunk and owl when they flew to Grimmauld Place on broomsticks?
2) Harry was supposed to flare up and get really pissed with Ron and Hermoine in the room.
3) The Order was not introduced properly.
4) QUIDDITCH WAS CUT OFF COMPLETELY!!! How can this be, when this was so evident in the book?! How could they cut this out??
5) Trelawney was supposed to be sacked when Harry was having Occlumency with Snape!
6) The producers did not show the students' lessons with their teachers wth.
7) And what about the prefects? They didn't mention the prefects at all.
8) It wasn't Cho who betrayed the DA lah, it was her friend!
9) Dobby the house elf was supposed to warn the DA about Umbridge's surprise check, she wasn't supposed to blow up the damn wall with her wand!
10) It wasn't Malfoy who broke the prophecy, Neville dropped it, not the blonde!
11) The Department of Mysteries was so -___-|||
10) Bellatrix was not supposed to escape through the floo network!
11) The statues at the Fountain of Magical Brethren was supposed to come to life and protect Dumbledore and Harry.
12) Hagrid had his inspection during one of the Care of Magical Creatures lesson, not in his HUT.
13) The knight bus, where was it?
14) The Quibbler wasn't mentioned at all, let alone the Harry's interview with Rita!
15) Uh, how about the fifth year students' meeting with their Heads of Houses regarding their careers?
16) Where was Firenze?
17) Ron wasn't supposed to be in the Forbidden Forest when Hagrid introduced Grawp!
18) And for St. Mungo's? Where was it?
19) Mundungus Fletcher was missing from the movie.
20) Why didn't Harry put his head into the fire to check if Sirius was in Grimmauld Place?

Thumbs up to the following:
1) The kissing scene. It was long and good, Daniel and Katie make a good yet not so good pair.
2) Evanna Lynch, who played Luna in the movie, was fantastic!
3) Imelda Stauton brought out Umbridge's character really well! Her laughter irritated the audience a lot, so did her height and her PINK stuff, urgh.
4) Fred and George's havoc scene.
5) Harry's disciplinary hearing

I'm so not satisfied with the movie! The Goblet of Fire was better, really.
