classic


Ever since I have finished reading The Deathly Hallows, I've been browsing through many bookstores just to find the perfect book to read for the next 2 months (hehe, considering the speed that I read books!). I went into Borders today hoping I could select something from the new released and the recommended sections but nothing has seemed to impress me.

Finally I bought a classic tale by Jane Austen. Her Pride and Prejudice was amazingly lovely and BBC has made a brilliant job putting it in motion picture. Since then, I was curious about her other stories and I guess now is a right time to venture them. So I am starting off with Emma.

On a completely different story, I supposed what happened today was not at all a waste of my time. I got to experience and also learn one of the challenges and maybe tricks in adulthood. This is only the beginning and I am expecting more out of it. It's exciting. I have to say.

"You're not somehow related to Sean Ghazi, are you?" - This is classic too.

And by the way, Mother, if you are reading this by any chance, can I please have the object below?

the end


I finally know the end of the Harry Potter story. It's definitely old news now, but I am alright with finding out the conclusion when everyone else has known it for about 2 months now. I have to admit I am a really slow reader. The thing is, I like to take my time reading books and also do other things at the same time.

You can never imagine how much I was tortured during my times reading this final book. Spoilers were everywhere - on the local newspapers, on the internet, and also from friends who have finished reading it. They have made people very mean to me, threatening to reveal who dies and who lives. It also made me become too aggressive and I remember saying, "I'll kill you if you speak to me about Harry Potter" to a poor colleague. Too much influence from Lord Voldemort.

Now, nobody can bully me about Harry Potter no more!
