Yes that is me and my hair all over my face, I know it’s kinda stupid but I posted it anyway lol. And yes, that’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in paperback. My bestfriend gave that to me few days after my birthday last August – I know this will break his heart K. As far as he knows, I’m a pretty fan of Harry Potter books and that I haven’t read the last installment. I was. So there, there.

After two months, the book is now a hospitable place for pixie dust. I haven’t even read the first few pages.
And it surprises me that I have grown out my once deep interest for the book. During my early years, I would excitedly read all the Harry Potter books – I borrowed all the six books – without putting them down. I would really feel the rush, the emotions, and the thrill. I loved all the Quidditch games, and the characters, and the classes, and everything! I even had a list of all the spells that were mentioned in each book.

When the first Harry Potter film came out in 2001, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, my addiction to the books and movies grew as large as I could have imagined. I watched the movie five times in cinema houses and more than 50 times in VCD – the mother bought me an original copy, how sweet. I almost memorized each and every line! I spotted all the book and movie differences – that annoyed me so much that time, because the movie was far from what I have imagined it in my head (but oh well, the second HP movie was far more disappointing) – but there were awesome changes as well like when they altered the Quidditch pitch from a regular stadium to an open field one with spectators sitting on high towers surrounding the pitch. Also, most of my internet surfing time during those days were spent in Mugglenet.Com – sniffing on HP gossips and stuff. The guys are still up until now.

And oh how I love Daniel Radcliffe! And and how I thought I looked a lot like Emma Watson! Haha that was the most silly thought I had ever had in connection with the Harry Potter craze – that Emma and I were sisters in our past lives! I remember using her pictures in my social networking profiles. Tsk tsk.

Anyhoo, I can go on and on and on talking about Harry Potter and all the stuff I loved and knew about it but one blog entry would not suffice. And… what’s my point again? Ocrap I’ve almost forgot! What I’m trying to say here is maybe I don’t like Harry Potter anymore. Ouch.

Maybe, just maybe, I didn’t love it that much to make me hang on to it up until my adulthood. Or maybe it I’ve realized it wasn’t worth hanging on to anyway. Or maybe it was worth it but it wasn’t anymore. Or maybe I’ve just changed my priorities – work and blogging and makeup and managing finances is now more important than memorizing lines, collecting stuff, reading all news and gossips and stuff, and losing myself into that imaginary wizard-ing world.

Or maybe.. I wasn’t really talking about Harry Potter after all.

So what’s your share of the Harry Potter craziness?

Last week I started watching The Big Bang Theory. And because I had not much to do that weekend, I spent the whole Saturday marathon-ing season one.

I got hooked from the very first episode! I just can’t stop! Who wouldn’t like Sheldon, the child prodigy who got two PhDs and an IQ of 187 but has no understanding whatsoever of the concepts of sarcasm, humor, humility and girls? And the way the Jim Parsons portrayed Sheldon’s character is superb and comedic in all sense! No wonder he got a nomination for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series.

Other characters in BBT are Leonard, Sheldon’s bestfriend and housemate who is inlove with the blonde neighbor Penny who lives across the hall, and the two other nerds Howard who considers himself a “ladies man” and would always throw pickup lines whenever possible, and Rajesh who have chronic shyness to the point that he becomes mute when in front of females (but not until he got drunk on one of the episodes in season one that he gets to talk to Penny!).

Oh well, the series is really a big LOL. I would really burst into laughters while watching. I admire the creators Chuck Lore and Bill Prady. I wonder who is Sheldon and who is Leonard from the two of them. That’s what they say when you create something, or write something, you always put a bit of yourself in your characters.

Anyhoo, I have nothing else to say but I love The Big Bang Theory and I can’t wait to see the end of my shift today and start watching seasons two and three. Wee what a nice way to spend my weekend. (Oh, not that I don’t have a social life that I would always spend my weekends watching tv series.)Wooot ~=>

Disclaimer: I usually blog this kind of entries on my i.ph blog. But I.PH blogs are under maintenance at the time of writing so I was forced to post this here. Meh. What a timing.

I just finished reading You’re so Money by Farnoosh Torabi. I bought it months ago, and have been reading it little by little. ( Yes, I really don’t have that much time now *sigh* ) Finally, I am so done reading it. But I know I will be re-reading it sometime soon because there’s so much advise and good stuff in it, I am not quite sure I’ve digested them all up pretty well. But for now, I will be kissing the book ‘Goodbye and See you later’ because I am lending it to my bestfriend. He needs this, LOL.

Anyhoo, I had a long day today (or yesterday, it’s already near dawn haha) in the office. I didn’t even notice the time. It went by so fast! I am hoping for a better and more productive and more fun work day tomorrow (or later haha, whatever).

When things don’t make sense anymore, go and find a sense. If you can’t find one, then make one.

See yah arwnd!

Aja! Aja!
