I've got tuition in like, 25 minutes.

Anyw, I've sorted out some things during my absence which I found exceptionally useful.

Was talking to Bobo today in class, so many free periods since SW wasn't here.


Sometimes, trying too hard to reverse the way things are right now back to how they were like time before, only wears you out sooner or later.
Hours and days of missing you are, obviously, not the solution to bringing those happy times spent together back to me.
Actually, it's better to hve once lived in it, than to never had at all.
And it hurts to know that you aren't even aware of it, aren't aware of how much those memories meant to me.

I'm gonna try to get over you, not because I want to, but because this current situation I'm in certainly does us both no good.

Human character are as erratic as the present-day weather. How pleasant, not.

I've been blog-hopping and seriously I'm disgusted by some of the things I see/read.
Okay, maybe you'll say I'm looking for trouble myself but blogs are posted up for the public to read so what's the problem?

I don't wna specify whose blog I happened to land upon, that's totally suicidal. I'm not stupid. Call me cowardly, wimp, WHATEVER...

Honestly, I've never quite seen someone so pretentious. All those pictures and words, oh please. Do you actually know what they mean? And those horrible pictures... Man, thank goodness I haven't eaten, otherwise I bet the clump of acid juices plus semi-digested food will hve appeared right in front of me.

Pardon me for being so blunt, but yes I am mean. Striaghtforward towards you because I dislike you since I stepped into this fucked up school.


DAMN WHY AM I IN SUCH A SCREWED UP MOOD.



Okay nevermind.
For those Tom Felton fans out there, FYI our heartthrob sweetheart is attached.
A-T-T-A-C-H-E-D.
Lol. Not that I'm upset about this issue, just that HIS GIRLFRIEND IS SOME UGLY WOMAN.
Cannot take it. LOL
Daniel Radcliffe's gf CMI as well.
Same for Emma Watson's bf.
Wonder why their taste is so weird.
Maybe I'm not the kind who's into those 'love has no boundaries' bullshit?
Hahaha.

Guess what, people?
I'M THINKING OF MAKING MY BLOG INTO A HARRY POTTER FAN CLUB!
Hehehehe.

ALL POTTER FANS ARE WELCOMED!
Oh my, I'm so excited. Shall call QiSheng to join me. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :D



Ok, back to my Harry Potter posts. Just can't post enough about it. Lol

In case anyone was wondering what are the Horcruxes mentioned in the movie that'll prove to be EXTREMELY crucial to destroying Voldermort, here's the explanation:


Horcruxes are objects that a wizard uses to store a part of his soul in order to achieve immortality. In order to do so, one must commit murder to split his/her soul and store it in this particular object of choice. By doing so, one cannot die, even when his/her physical self is destroyed, because part of his/her soul still lives somewhere, in the Horcrux.

In this case, we hve Voldermort's own Aveda Kedavra backfiring upon him as he casted it on Harry when he was just a baby, yet he did not die. Because he had Horcruxes! Took him a few years to come back, and now in HP6, Dumbledore confirms the case of Voldermort using Horcruxes to achieve immortality from getting the vital piece of memory from Horace Slughorn.

Voldermort, much to many people's horror, had split his soul into SEVEN parts, which is totally mental in wizarding history as it is horrific enough to commit one murder, moreover committing seven.


Here are the seven Horcruxes:

1. Marvolo Gaunt's Ring (The Resurruction Stone) - Voldermort's first Horcrux. Belonged to his maternal grandfather, Voldermort killed his father and paternal grandparents in order to split part of his soul and thus making his first Horcrux. It was worn by Tom Riddle at 16 years old as shown in the movie of HP6, however Voldermort went back to the Gaunts Shack and hid it there, casting protective enchantments around it. It was destroyed by Professor Dumbledore using the Sword of Godric Gryffindor in the interval between HP5 and HP6.
Voldermort himself never knew about the Resurruction Stone hidden inside the Ring for the rest of his life.


2. Tom Riddle's Diary - Voldermort's second Horcrux. Created with the murder of the Moaning Myrtle using the Basilisk. Voldermort left it in the care of Lucius Malfoy, and he in turn sneaked the Diary into Ginny Weasley's cauldron at the beginning of HP2, and the soul fragment inside the Diary used Ginny to reopen the Chamber Of Secrets, allowing the Basilisk to penetrate the school using pipes to terrorize Muggle-born students.
Destroyed by Harry using a Basilisk fang, it was the very first Horcrux to be eliminated. But then, no one except Dumbledore actually knew that it was a Horcrux.


3. The Cup of Helga Hufflepuff - Voldermorts's third Horcrux. Created with the murder of Hepzibah Smith. Entrusted to Bellatrix Lestrange, it was kept inside the vault of the Lestranges' in Gringotts. Having infiltrated the Bank in HP7, Harry, Ron and Hermione managed to retrieve the Cup (with much hassle) and Hermione destroyed it with a Basilisk fang back in Howarts.


4. Salazar Slytherin's Locket - Voldermort's fourth Horcrux. Created with the death of an unknown Muggle. Belonged to Voldermort's mother, but she sold it at Borgin and Burke's for a mere 10 Galleons as she didn't know its true worth. As the necklace was bought by Hepzibah Smith, Voldermort stole it along with the Cup of Helga Hufflepuff and turned it into a Horcrux. It was hidden inside the cave where Voldermort terrorized his fellow orphans when he was a kid, and the cave is heavily guarded by magical enchantments as shown in HP6 the movie.
However, the real Horcrux was replaced with a fake by R.A.B., who very surprisingly is, Regulus Arcturus Black, Sirius Black's brother, and a former Death Eater who, for reasons I don't know, turned his back on Voldermort and aimed to destroy the Horcrux, eventually leading to his own death after he was being dragged down the water by the Inferi. The Locket was left in the possession of Kreacher the house elve. The story goes and eventually, it was destroyed by Ron using the Sword of Godric Gryffindor, after much torment.


5. The Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw - Voldermort's fifth Horcrux. Created with the murder of an Albanian peasant. Belonged to one of the founders of Hogwarts, Rowena Ravenclaw, it was stolen by her daughter, Helena Ravenclaw, out of jealousy. However, she buried it in the hollow of a tree befre the Bloody Baron tracked her down and killed her out of impulse. Helena Ravenclaw later became the Grey Lady of Ravenclaw House. Tom Riddle, while still studying in Hogwarts, managed to charm the Lady into revealing the wherabouts of the Diadem, and shortly after graduating from Hogwarts he went to Albania to retrieve the Diadem, making it his fifth Horcrux. When he returned to Hogwarts several years later to apply for the job as the teacher for Defence Against The Dark Arts, he was rejected by Professor Dumbledore and then, he hid the Diadem in the Room Of Requirement as he thought no one else except him would hve known so many secrets of Hogwarts and that the magical enchantments and protections on the school itself would be sufficient to keep his Horcrux safe, thus he did not cast any spells of his own around the Horcrux to protect it.
The Diadem was destroyed by stupid Vincent Crabbe, Malfoy's sidekick, after he foolishly set the whole Room Of Requirement on fire using Fiendfyre. He died in his own cursed fire.


6. Harry Potter - Voldermort's sixth Horcrux. Well, he never meant to make Harry his Horcrux and he never knew he did. HAHAHA oh well... Anyway, the night when Voldermort tried to kill Harry when he was just an infant, the curse backfired and a fragment of his soul (after so many times of splitting his soul, it was rather unstable) detached from Voldermort himself and rested upon the only living thing left in the room - Harry. However, Harry was never actually a dark object as no spells were casted upon him with the intentions to make him a Horcrux. This explains the lighting bolt-shaped scar on Harry's forehead, his ability to speak and understand Parseltongue and the constant connections through thoughts and visions with Voldermort. However, in HP7, Voldermort once again casted the Killing Curse on Harry, which then he killed the fragment of HIS OWN SOUL inside Harry (apparently he didn't realize that) and thus, they were finally detached from one another, the connections between the two finally broken. Therefore, we can conclude that the person who destroyed the sixth Horcrux was... Voldermort himself.
It was also revealed that after the connections were broken, Harry's scar no longer hurt and he also lost the ability to speak Parseltongue.


7. Nagini the Snake - Voldermort's seventh Horcrux. Created with the murder of the Ministry's official Bertha Jorkins. In HP7, the reason why Harry and Hermione was discovered by Bathilda Bagshot even when they were under the Invisibility Cloak at Godric's Hollow was because that wasn't Bathilda at all, it was Nagini! Bathilda was already murdered then. As Nagini was a snake, she's able to sense body heat and movements that humans cannot, even under the Invisibility Cloak. Later in HP7, as Voldermort found out that Harry was after his Horcruxes, he casted a protective enchantment cage around Nagini to protect her. Nagini also killed Severus Snape. When Harry was finally 'dead' from the Killing Curse, Voldermort released Nagini from her enchanted cage, not knowing that Harry was still alive. The snake was killed by Neville Longbottom, using the Sword of Godric Gryffindor.



Thus, after the destruction of all these Horcruxes, Voldermort was finally deemed Mortal, and the final battle between him and Harry would determine his death.

He also created 7 Horcruxes (excluding himself and also he did not know that Harry was a Horcrux of his) because he believe that the number 7 holds some sort of mystical power.
Therefore, he split his soul into a total of 8 fragments, including the one inside his physical self.


The reason as to why, that night in the Forbidden Forest in HP7, Voldermort wasn't able to kill Harry (again), was because in HP4, Voldermort used Harry's blood to give him a full physical body. Because of this act, Harry's blood flows in Voldermort, keeps him alive. However, as we all know Harry's mother, Lily, sacrificed herself to safe Harry's life, Harry's blood is enchanted with some old historic magic of love. With Harry's blood flowing inside Voldermort, Voldermort had unawarely became a 'guardian' of Harry. In other words, if Voldermort is alive, Harry cannot die. Voldermort had kept the sacrifice of Lily Potter alive, much to his dismay.

I love J.K.Rowling, her linking of facts are fantastic.

I love the Harry Potter novel series.
But the movie on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was... wtf?

Left for JP immediately after school on Thursday with Herwen, Victor, Qisheng, Shawn, Jiahao, Christina and Angie. Herwen and I bought the tickets on Monday, lol.

I WAITED SOME 2 YEARS FOR THIS MOVIE ALRIGHT.

Ok, so we went to JP, had our lunch, bought snacks and went into the theatre. Herwen and I sat together, all the others were separated as well, lol. When the movie started I thought I was gonna cry. My wait had finally been paid off!

So after 2hours and 30minutes, the movie ended. And I hve to say I was pretty... disappointed.
And I wasn't the only one. QiSheng was complaining too.

So, for those who hve watched the movie (I've watched it twice since the first 2 days of debut alr HAHA), or are planning to watch the movie, here are some of the changes made. Well, SOME is an understatement, taking into consideration the differences between the movie and the novel by J.K.Rowling.


SPOILERS ALERT

1. The opening part of the movie was NOT included in the book. It was mentioned, but not explained in detail. Also, the bridge mentioned by J.K.Rowling is the Brockdale bridge, which doesn't exist in real life. The Millennium Bridge was used in the movie. However, The Millennuim Bridge was only built in 1998 and completed in 2000, whereas Rowling's timeline of the story was earlier than that of the construction of the Millennium Bridge. Which means, the bridge should not hve been there at all then. I wonder why the director didn't just rename the bridge.

But the special effects on the bridge were fantastic, that I must admit.



2. Olivander was not kidnapped in HP6. Besides, the movie showed he was, and did not mention that incident again in the movie. I believe it had left many people who did not read the book puzzled. Bad planning there...



3. The scene at the subway was not included in the book. Something extra added into the movie that was totally useless.
And I dont see how a wizard can be careless enough to be reading the Daily Prophet with moving pictures on it in a Muggle world.



4. When Narcissa Malfoy (Draco's mother) and Bellatrix Lestrange (Sirius's cousin) visited Severus Snape at his house, it was supposed to be late in the night. Ok, that's just something trivial I noticed...



5. The whole conversation between the Muggle Prime Minister and the Minister For Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had been taken away. It had been replaced by the somewhat pointless scene in the subway.



6. In the book, Professor Dumbledore picked Harry up at the Dursley's. Harry is not supposed to be wandering outside the Dursley's, as he can only be protected by his mother's sacrifice from danger in a relative's house, until he reached seventeen years old. Overlooked information there I guess...



7. Aboard the Hogwarts Express, it was Tonks who found Harry in the Slytherin room after being temporarily petrified by Draco's Petrificus Totalus. However, in the movie, it was someone else who saved Harry. What a meaningless change...



8. I don't think Cormac McLaggen was supposed to be so good looking as he was in the movie. Lol



9. Malfoy was supposed to be 'dating' Pansy Parkinson. He laid on his lap on the Hogwarts Express. Oh well...



10. Many parts of the memories that Harry is supposed to see during his private 'lessons' with Professor Dumbledore had been cut away, including the memory at the House of Gaunt. Such an important one, and they took it away. Damn.



11. I can't remember if Aragog really died in the book, but I know it isn't as small as it is depicted in the movie. That one in the movie was so minute as compared to the one shown in the Chamber Of Secrets.



12. Bill Weasley was attacked by Fenrir Greyback and became a half-werewolf. He was also getting married with Fleur Delacour. It was not mentioned in the movie at all.



13. Bellatrix Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback did not attack the Weasley's house. But the effects were fabulous still.



14. Tonks and Remus Lupin did not get married until HP7. Yet, in this movie, it is noticed that Tonks called Lupin "Sweetheart".



15. I don't think Professor Dumbledore was agitated enough when he drank the potion in order to retrieve the locket which they thought to be a Horcrux. In the book, it was mentioned he was blaming himself for his sister, Ariana's death.



16. AND HOW COULD THEY HAVE POSSIBLY DID SO LITTLE OF PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE'S DEATH!? I was so angry when they just showed him falling down the Astronomy Tower after being hit by Snape's Killing Curse and blah blah blah... Hello, the greatest wizard of all time who defeated Gellert Grindewald and whom Voldemort feared all these time had just died. Even Rowling can use her extraordinary grasp of English to describe the sorrow and the impact, I don't see why motion pictures can't do better!



17. AND THEY DIDN'T SHOW A SINGLE BIT OF PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE'S FUNERAL. NOT A SINGLE BIT.



18. The ending sucks. Ron looked like some calefare.


Too many differences to mention. Please, people, READ THE BOOK.



Other than that, the movie was fine. The special effects for this movie was particularly good.
Ron (Rupert Grint) improved alot on his acting skills. Especially the part when he ate the chocolates filled with love potion.
Frank Dillane, who acted as Tom Riddle at 16 years old, was so... handsome. Lol
Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) is getting so much better. My, I'm in love. HAHA.
The guy who acted as Cormac McLaggen was surprisingly good looking, I thought they'd get some fat bloke to take up the role. In the book, Cormac is this super big-sized asshole. Lol
Narcissa Malfoy (Helen McCrory) is such a gorgeous lady. Too bad she's a pure-blood hysterical, like her husband. But she also save Harry's life in the end. *Winks*



Do watch the movie still, people. It's humourous and pretty good. I'm just angry with all those scene selections, they made the story rather condensed. For those who didn't read the book, you will enjoy it. For those who did, well... I dunno.
Maybe I got my hopes too high, but hey, it's HARRY POTTER we're talking about! A must-watch NO MATTER WHAT.

Now, Part I of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out next end of year. Oh yay, another year and a half of waiting! Damn.
Since they're separating it into 2 parts, I hope they'll not take away too much of the story, because every single part of this last sequel is very, very important. For those who didn't read HP7, FYI there'll be no Hogwarts until the very end. Talking about the end... It's really very sad.



Hope I don't get sued for my spoilers and comments. Afterall, I'm just another Potter fan. :D

So many people asked, why are my posts so emo.
Haha...


I found out how easy it was to tell someone not to care about something that's giving their emotions a hard time, and how hard it is to really do it. When you hve smth stucked like superglue up in your head, it really proves hard to get it off. The more you want to avoid it, the more you think of it.

So the easier way out is to just... change your perspective.

See, people, especially those you love, might not turn out the way you want them to be. Sometimes some actions we humans do spark off speculation, and ongoing guesses as to decipher them and to what they really meant. For example, a moment ago she was still talking to him in that ever-carefree tone, as if back to the good old days, yet the next moment, he posted up on his blog smth she didn't really wna see, about this girl... Man I can't bring myself to go on.

What's with this momentarily changes in character? I dunno. I don't think any neurosurgeon would be able to comprehend as well, they'll just reply you with a standard "The human brain is too extraordinarily complex to understand and interpret."

However the people who has these temperamental attitudes towards the people around them hve absolutely NO idea how much pain they're inflicting on those who love them, because they simply don't see why you should stand a special place in their heart for them to give that bit more sympathy for your feelings and to even take the 'trouble' to be careful not to hurt them. In short, they simply don't give a damn.

Tried to think that she was just being sensitive, that she was thinking too much and she should trust him fully.
Thinking again, why should she do so? She's not even his girlfriend.

Tried to think that he and the girl were but classmates, mere acquaintances.
But, if so, why did he hve to accompany her to her music exam? Why him, out of all the other people?


Such ironies do set your brain cells raging, and I mean raging both in angst, and at the same time trying to figure out what exactly was going on. Funny, isn't it, how life plays a trick on you. I don't like it. I honestly detest it.



Well, maybe that girl had more of a topic with him. They were, nonetheless, from the same class and the same CCA... They can talk about both music and academic scores, and project work, and math, and so much more.

I'm just a 16 year old. Generation gap huh? What a joke.

So finally she found out that he has a girlfriend, or that he has someone on his mind already.

That girl texted him late in the night, and has a place in his heart.

So whom is she to him now?


...Nothing.



She's tired, so tired from all those complicating thoughts sprouting out in her mind like an ever-expanding spider web, one thought leading to another, making her feel worse bit by bit.

She wants to forget.
She wants to erase all the memories spent together.
But who can release her from this tormenting ordeal?
She can only rely on herself to struggle out of this fucking mess.

Thank you Samuel, for helping me improve my English, and your on-call-ness. Super-steady friend.

And to you Rob, lots of gratitude for being such a wonderful listening ear when I needed one. And some awesome advisor you are!

It's been so long since they talked,
as she laid beside him, talking and laughing like they used to.

It'd been a long, long time.

He was overwhelmed with fatigue,
and she kissed him goodnight,
leaving this precious night for the sake of his essential slumber.

How long would it be for them to talk like that again?, the girl wondered.

And as she longed for that precious moment with the ravenous appetite for his affections,
she could only wait.

And wait.

And wait.



Will it be a love worth it, or simply a flight into oblivion...?
