harry potter and the death hallows...
ok i know i'm slow and giam (stingy) heh... so i finally read the last book borrowed from PY cos i'm kinda used to reading harry potter books late and waiting till borders sells it for like 10 bucks before buying and reading it, but this one.. didn't quite want to wait so long hahaha...
anyway... i read it in one night.... AND..... had a burning qns! how in the world did neville get the gryfindor sword to kill nagini?!! wasn't it with griphook (the goblin)??!!!!!!!
and so i frantically msged PY this morning and she called back (amused i wld think hahaha).... and didn't know either bah.. hahahha.... and then a google search made me realise that.. i'm NOT ALONE in wondering about this.. and so the answer is....
"Neville was able to pull the sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat because he was a true Gryffindor in dire need, and the hat recognised that as Godric Gryffindor originally intended. This mirrors what Harry did in CoS in the Chamber when he pulled the sword out to kill the basilisk.
JKR answered this question in the Bloomsbury Webchat on 30 July:
QUOTE
Su: How did neville get the gryfindor sword, is there a link to the hat
J.K. Rowling: Yes, there is very definitely a link to the hat!
J.K. Rowling: Neville, most worthy Gryffindor, asked for help just as Harry did in the Chamber of secrets, and Gryffindor's sword was transported into Gryffindor's old hat -
J.K. Rowling: - the Sorting Hat was Gryffindor's initially, as you know.
J.K. Rowling: Griphook was wrong - Gryffindor did not 'steal' the sword, not unless you are a goblin fanatic and believe that all goblin-made objects really belong to the maker."

maybe i'm just idealistic...
but i truly believe and want to continue believing... that one day, cancer would be like a flu virus... nothing to be feared really, and easily dealt with...
as it is... cancer has become such a commonplace thing in our lives.... we hear about this person or that afflicted with some form of cancer....
and so just like how flu used to be such a deadly and scary thing MANY MANY MANY years ago.. i'm sure.... cancer will be the same.....
maybe it'll only happen many many many many years later.... but this is a belief i hold... which i hope will come true

hindsight
it's a good thing my sis never wanted to continue her piano lessons after she got her grade 4... she would have failed the aural part of the practical exams...
me: so how was my piano playing just now? considering i haven't touched the piano in ages... heh
sis: it was audible.
me: no i mean like the touch and all etc...
sis: hmm... dunno... it sounded like the song loh
my piano playing is not THAT bad... i hope :P

the art of being approachable
you know you have "hi i'm friendly and approachable, please feel free to ask me questions" printed all over my face (ok maybe it's too long to be printed on my face but you get the drift! heh)... when a trip to the market/supermarket and clementi in general is punctuated NON STOP with aunties asking me where the broccoli was from or how much were the lemons cos she couldn't see the small print on the labels, and this really sweet auntie who started teaching me how to choose cucumbers when i was picking cucumbers from the tray.... then came the non stop requests for directions ... and the pohpiah auntie my sister is afraid of who was as usual... very nice to me hahahaha....
it's kinda fun actually... not the waking up early in the morning though when i slept at 430am bah.. :p

there are times when i'm just so honest to a fault that it's horrendously disturbing in my "chosen field of profession"... sigh

*an extremely bimbotic post alert*
so after 23 years of relative disinterest to the point of scheming and hiding to get away from the prying eyes of teachers before choir performances during sec sch days so that i'll get away with not having to put on make up .... i've gone into the phase of sudden interest in make-up hahahahahah
PY says my dressing table is like a make up counter, only better cos i have different brands of various items of cosmetics.. hahaha i try and try till i find the one that i love best.... and after the eyeliner and then mascara buying phase, i'm now into the blusher phase hahahaha
my dressing table is getting WAYYYY too crowded.. bah... and i'm getting VERY BROKE..... bah.. JH!!!! i've become a willing victim to consumerism tooo!!!!! :( heh

*warning* bimbotic post ahead
and so after feeling cheated by the announcement the Board put up... because when i happily went to the auditorium at 3.30pm the BOX WAS GONE! i walked around at Central (ie spent more money)trying to kill time so that it wouldn't look so obvious that i skipped lectures.. bah!
and as with all the shopping since work ended.... i only buy work clothes (ie clothes that can be worn to work be it dress down fridays or not heh)... in this happy delusional mode that makes buying work clothes more acceptable than buying casual going out clothes....
and now.... I WANT WORK TO START AGAIN... so that i can wear those clothes!!! ARGH.. stupid reason.. because i know i'll hate work once it starts.... but sighhh.. such is life heh
