I am in love with Ron Weasley

Sorry for this super late post. I took a mini holiday right after I submitted my assignments :) This is drafted more than a week ago so, here goes!

I was supposed to wait until next weekend to feast my eyes on my childhood heroes but I could not wait any longer.

I really wanted to go to Leicester Square to watch it but none of my friends are as crazyfanatical as me so I actually thought of going to the nearest cinema instead.

However, I did manage to go to London to watch it because my housemate, Aaron was kind enough to accompany me.

Yes my dears, he actually followed me all the way to London just to watch Harry Potter and he has never watched Harry Potter before! Guys like him are on the verge of extinction already I tell you.

So, here is to a (hopefully) mind-blasting (insert Russell Peters' hand gesture) personal review of the most-anticipated part 1 of a finale this year.

I was on the verge of tears almost every single minute of this film. I find it quite hard to accept the fact that the characters I have spent the last nine years growing up with will finally bid goodbye. Maybe that was why I felt pretty emotional when Harry visited his old room at the cupboard under the stairs - before he left Privet Drive for good.

The way he looked at the toy soldier on the shelf was heartbreaking. To many, that may not mean much but to me, that moment truly signifies the end of Harry's innocence; the fact that he can never be that carefree boy he wanted to be.

Moving on, I think Snape's entrance to Malfoy Manor was supremely bad-ass! The effects are simply amazing and the fact that he can turn metal into smoke is damn freaking macho okay! The scene involving Charity Burbage was pretty disturbing, especially before she was killed (although the artist's illustration of the scene is way more disturbing than that). Nagini is just...ugh. I hate snakes.

Did you see how Ron treated Hermione throughout the whole movie? OMG HE'S THE SWEETEST BOY EVER! I really, really like the way he touched Hermione's face when they were at the cafe with the Death Eater. It's so...sweet and gentle! I want my future boyfriend to touch me like that too :(

I like.

Aside from that, I also like the scene where Harry danced with Hermione. Although it was pretty awkward in the beginning, the fact that Harry actually initiated was pretty sweet of him! I like how they transition from a happy, funny dance to a slow one :) Sho sweeet!

I'm also very impressed with the way they depicted the tale of the three brothers! I actually read about it the scene beforehand but it definitely did not do the effects justice! I thought they were going to use real actors for that but whatever they did was 100x better.

For those who have watched the movie already will definitely agree that the Bathilda/snake scene is pretty frightening, especially the part where the snake reappeared. Many people in the cinema actually screamed! I wasn't too shocked because I kind of expected something like that to happen already :P but it was pretty scary, nonetheless.

Ron's speech regarding the ball of light was so..nerdy sweet! Hahaha he's honestly the best and if you happen to watch it again, pay attention to the soundtrack. I am superbly in love with that song.

Apart from that, I was a bit bummed that they didn't show Luna's room :( I really wanted to see the painting on the wall.

The scenery on the other hand was just..breathtaking! The mountains, the lake..goodness me! I am absolutely in love with all the places they went, therefore I'm making a mental note to google them up and visit them during the summer :D

Well, to tell you that I cried when Dobby died would be an understatement because I bawled like a five-year old whose candy got stolen by Voldemort. That scene was just...crazy! Dobby has played a huge part in Harry's life and to see him die like that was really sad. The worst part of it is the fact that he died protecting the ones he love most and in the arms of someone he truly looked up to. As morbid this may sound,that is something I know deep down that I will never be able to do.

The best thing about watching Harry Potter in London is the fact that you can actually visit the sites easily after the show. Remember the part where Harry, Ron and Hermione apparated to Piccadilly Circus? Well, Aaron and I went straight to that place right after the show and we actually tried to find the exact place where they apparated (although I found out that it wasn't exactly at Piccadilly Circus itself after that. It was somewhere near there)

Remember the part where Harry and Ron had to flush themselves to sneak into the Ministry? Aaron and I found the exact washroom right outside Odeon! :P (although the real one is somewhere near Whitehall I think)

:P

To sum it all up, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 is one of the best movies I've seen to date. I absolutely can't wait for part 2 although I secretly don't want it to come because then I'll have to finally acknowledge the fact that my childhood is coming to an end. :(

I have so much to say regarding Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, that I even drafted out what I wanted to write.

Sadly, I won't be able to post that anytime soon because I have two assignments due this week, so look out for one super long review on Saturday!

PS: In the meantime, I'll leave you to a video I took of the Phelps twins :) Enjoy!

You might be wondering why I have not blog anything about the lastest Harry Potter movie yet, seeing that I'm one crazy Potter fan, who stood in the rain, nearly got blown off by the wind and also nearly got crushed by a huge group of people just to catch a glimpse of them.

The truth is, I'm waiting.

I'm going to wait until I have the time to go down to London to watch the show at Leicester Square's Odeon :)

How else can I make this finale more special than to watch it where Dan, Rupert,Emma and JK Rowling watched it?

:D

PS: I think he's amazing

Hello! How have you been my dear readers reader? :) My day has been great so far.

I really hope your day went well too!

Anyway, I just want to wish a very happy birthday to my dearest cousin, Rachel Ng! You're definitely, without a doubt my best-est friend and my favourite dreamer :)

Although we may fight and disagree like old women sometimes, I am very grateful that I got you as my cousin.

I love you!

I also want to take the opportunity to wish a happy birthday to my favourite comedian, Kuah Jenhan (I know I have been using the word 'favourite' alot today but I can't possibly use other words like beloved or best-loved without giving off the crazy fan feeling)

It's a privilege to know you and call you as my friend because you definitely inspired me to continue on chasing after my dreams. With you chasing yours and actually succeding in it gave me hope that one day, I'll be just like you.

I'll able to live my dream too!

Have a very happy birthday, funny guy!

Oh yea, he's taking part in the Actorlympics Tiger Show so if you're near PJLA Jaya One, be sure to stop by and show some support.

You won't regret it :)

He'll be on from 18th November to the 21st.

(For the record, I didn't stalk him k. I got all this from Facebook ;)

Aside from that, today is also rather important because Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone premiered exactly 9 years ago! How time flies.

Fast forward 9 years later, you get this.

I think I'm going to cry.

I'm a happy, happy girl.

You wanna know why?

I've made it to THE event

that I have been dreaming of attending ever since I was eleven.

I can still remember the day I made a pinky promise with my cousin that we would someday attend the premiere of Harry Potter. It was during the school holidays in 2001. I was sleeping over at her house that night and we were just randomly going through crazy school topics (crushes and whatnot) when we suddenly talked about Harry Potter. I remembered we talked about it until 5am where we ended the conversation with a pinky promise :)

Remember, a dream will always be a dream if you don't chase after it.

I've chased mine for 9 years, in hopes that one day I will meet my childhood heroes.

Guess what?

I did it ;)

PS: Did I mention that the Phelps twins (Fred and George Weasley) smiled and waved at where I was standing?

:P

I went to London for a getaway two weeks ago and it was really good! One of the best weekends I've had so far.

I woke up late on the day I was supposed to leave because I was talking to my housemates until 1am/2am the night before. We were supposed to leave the house at 10am for a badminton game that day but we woke up at 10am instead :P Headed over to the sports village at around 10.15am and we played until 12.30pm.

I was being damn cheeky that day because I decided to wear the official Olympic jersey I bought while I was visiting China two years ago in hopes that someone would be dungu enough to believe that I actually represented China in the Olympic Games.

If you actually think no one is that dungu, think again.

Because I did hear some subtle remarks about it

:P

Anywho, we went for lunch before we went back home. We then watched a reality tv series before I went back to my room to pack up for London. Headed over to Rachelle's place before we went to the train station together.

Mr.Meanie was there at the train station to meet us. I insisted that we escort Rachelle to her cousin's place because it was really dark by then and she was rather clueless about the directions to that particular place. We then took several tubes before we reach her cousin's neighbourhood. Walked around for a bit because Rachelle couldn't recognize the street but we managed to find it after a while. We then headed back to Mr.Meanie's place for dinner. Honestly, I think the food in London is way cheaper than my kampung place ok. I spent about £5 for a huge plate of rice and a drink there but a plate of rice alone here is already £4.

The next day, we woke up early to meet up with my housemates who came to join us on our little sightseeing trip :)

After getting them from Kings Cross, we headed straight to Abbey Road :)

Meet my awesome housemates - Shanny and Aaron ;)

Houses along Abbey Road are really pretty!

When we reach there, I was pretty surprise that a lot of people were already standing by the side of the street, waiting to cross the road like how the Beatles do. It was pretty cool and funny at the same time because they would rush out to the road and pose in the middle even though there are cars. One good thing about it is that drivers here are really patient as they would actually wait for you to finish posing before they continue on driving. If you were to do this in Malaysia, I think you'd be rammed over already.

Abbey Road :)

Waiting to cross :)

I walked across the street for a couple of times just to get some good shots :) I was pretty scared that the car might just ram me over so I always sprint over the road once the picture is taken. I feel quite shy also to be honest

I like this!

Hahaha Mr.Meanie was not aware that we were crossing the road until I shouted his name.

So yes, this is our failed attempt to cross the crossroad like how the Beatles do.

Shanny and I were trying to take a picture with her brand new iPhone 4 ;)

We stopped by the famous Abbey Road Studios as well. The wall was filled with writings and drawings from fans. We wanted to sign our names on the wall but we didn't bring any pen :S We walked around a bit after that before heading over to Baker Street to visit the official Beatles merchandise store.

The Beatles Store

The store was really packed. I bought a T-Shirt and a metal Abbey Road plaque for myself :) Aaron actually bought a limited edition platinum record for his dad. That thing is really nice, I tell you! If I was a die-hard Beatles fan, I would have sapu everything in the shop already ;)

We stopped by a shop opposite the road for lunch. Okayla. The food on this side of London is pretty pricey :p We noticed a green shop next to the Beatles shop and we realized that it was actually Sherlock Holmes' museum. We went in there after our lunch :)

After that, we took a tube to St.Paul's to visit the famous cathedral. The place is really pretty! We walked around for a bit and took some pictures before we headed over to the Millennium bridge.

In the tube :)

Jumpshot!

Dad, you keep telling me that you've never seen my London friend right.

Here he is!

Group photo :)

The sole reason why I was so keen on visiting the Millennium bridge is because it was featured in Harry Potter 6 :P (Don't give me that look okay! Most of HP's filming sites are not in central London. I had to take every opportunity I can get )

I wanted to go to Tower Bridge but it was getting pretty dark already so we walked towards London Bridge before we went back to King's Cross for dinner.

Pretty lights under a bridge that resembles fireworks

:)

I have two drafts to hand in this week so I won't be able to update anytime soon!

Will miss all of you :)

I purposely woke up early to read but I ended up going through all the pictures and messages of my ex-college friends and lecturers :)

I miss you all so so much!

I'll update about my trip to London tonight!

Till then

:)
