After sounding so much like a rabid fangirl in my last post, I shall resolve to sound more refined today.




Ah hem.



WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ONLY 20 DAYS LEFT TO DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!!!!!! TWENTY!!!!! WAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!! *laughs like a maniac*


Sorry, couldn't help it. Got into the hype for it just now. So many prep activities going on! Countless Pottercasts, readings, quizzes, interviews, predictions etc; and each fansite has different stuff! And all the forums are posted on almost every minute now. But it's all worth it. Cause it's the buildup to the very last last last last Harry Potter mainstream book to be written! Who knows when another series as good as this one appears. It's gotta be a classic a hundred years down the road.

It's kind of sad that the seventh book is sort of shadowing the premiere of the fifth movie. Poor kids. They've been working their butts off the entire year, and it's not much of an impact. Not to say though, that the publicity wasn't good; I think it's brilliant!

Wooo pottermania pottermania pottermania!!!


I AM A MAD MUGGLE!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

< / pottergeek >

Gah, the weather sucks now. It's getting hotter and hotter everyday. Went for a ride with Mom to school today. And we got lost. I think I told her to stick to the wrong lane at Braddell and we ended up lost in Upper Serangoon Road. So embarrassing!!! And she's driving soooooooooooooo slowly that it took 1034981038472957602 years to get there. I think I'll just take a bus on Tuesday. Faster and safer. And not that much honking.


I'm kind of sick of my blogskin now, although it's reasonably practical and stuff, I just don't feel so chic. Looking for a new one.

Or maybe I just shouldn't bother. Doesn't matter one way or another.

Cts are over. Screwed, of course, like always. So now, life switches to MUGGER MODE. Not unlike the mugger mode activated two years ago one month before O levels. Blah I just hate exams. When I'm not doing well in them of course. It's a totally different matter if I start to do better. ...Yes, I know, so whatever.

Eeeeeeeeeeee I'm feeling so exhausted now I'm not typing any sense. Better stop before ah, I ramble on too much.

I wonder though, should I, or should I not play for NYCB concert? I think they're going to have a million horns coming back, so one less doesn't make much of a difference. It's an even smaller difference when that person is going to sound like da4 bian4. Ok. Still wondering. Shall wonder more first and see how it goes.




But me thinks me have a feeling that me ain't going back much cos not much free time these days. Hmmmmm.

Me just realised me missed the W.O.M.B.A.T... AGAIN!!! Gosh me keeps delaying it until it's over.

Me's not sound very sane now so me thinks me needs to stop now. STOP. ok. byes.

Was just reading the Maddies' blog and I saw this post dated June 7th.

And OMG, you'd never have guessed what it was about.

Candy Chen, with her friend in London, watched Equus, which is a play starring Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter) LIVE! And yes, I know, and BUCK NAKED! Haha! But that's not incredible enough. The most crazy thing was that when they were in the queue, Cho Chang was queueing in front of them!!! That's right! Katie Leung was standing right in front of them!

WHOLLY COW!

What are the odds of seeing two Harry Potter stars in a day?!?! Totally MAHD! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
*screams incoherently*

I shall copy the post here. Hope Candy and her friend don't sue me or something. ...But the elation! (Oh, the elation!)

Equus ('Eck-kwers')

I met up with Candy Chen to watch Equus today

WE WERE GOING TO SEE DANIEL RADCLIFFE / HARRY POTTER LIVE!

(and i can just imagine 4 out of 5 of you chiming in 'AND NAKED' but that wasn't the point, really.)

we had booked our tickets online quite awhile ago, and bought the cheapest tickets (matinee show, upper circle seats) which still worked out to be about 20pounds

and today was the day! woohoo! :] honestly i don't often go very mad but...... HARRY POTTER!

******************

there was a long queue of people waiting to collect their pre-paid tickets and Candy and I joined the queue, chattering very excitedly

'We're going to see Daniel Radcliffe! Omg! :D'
'YES! I canNOT believe it!!! Hey, so what's the show about anyway?'
'Eh. I don't know?'

We had to wait quite abit so we started observing people.

Candy gestured to the Chinese girl wearing a white sweater, red skirt, purple stockings and yellow shoes standing in front of us: 'Hey Michelle, do you think she is Cho Chang?'

I rolled my eyes. How absurd!: No?

Candy peered at her and whispered urgently to me: Yes I think she is! I'm going to ask her.

Me: No way! That's so embarassing!

Candy tapped her shoulder and I thought of going away to hide: 'Excuse me, are you Cho Chang?'

The Chinese girl turned around, paused and nodded.

And you know what's the first thing that came to my mind?

SHE'S LYING.

This is Cho Chang! You don't look like her!

And when she turned to face us properly and obliged to take a photograph with us at Candy's request, it finally sank in.

Oh.

My.

Gosh.

CHO CHANG.

i had never been more shocked in my life. i think that explains the odd facial expression. Candy calls it the SINCERE expression lol!

a split second later it changes to the 'OMG IT'S A MOVIE STAR I MUST LEAN IN AND TAKE A CHUMMY PICTURE' expression

arrrghhhhhhhhhhh my goodness we standing right behind Cho Chang! exactly how ZHUN4 is that!

IMAGINE if we had just met just minutes later at Picadilly Circus, or if we had sucuumed to temptation and grabbed a Deli-Of-The-Day from Macs (Macdonalds here recently launched £1.99 deli sandwiches. seems to be directly competing with Subway's £1.99 sub-of-the-day) we'd very likely have just missed her! amazing.

and it was only today that I really realized exactly how calm I can be.

i started having a perfectly ordinary conversation with her as though she was any new acquaintance i met at UCL

'Oh so are you studying now?'

'Oh yeah yeah, sounds great! And so you're living in London?'

whatever happened to all the questions like

'so what WAS it like filming Harry Potter?'

'what do YOU think is going to happen in the end of the 7th book?'

'How did it feel kissing Harry?'

I mean, of course it isn't as exciting as stumbling into Daniel Radcliffe himself, but Cho Chang! in the flesh!

even without seeing the show, Candy and I were elated already :D my gosh the luckiest of days

the reception area of Gielgud Theatre

some pictures inside the theatre taken by Candy's fab camera

i thought it was pretty cool having seats directly above the stage itself. not sure if those tickets would be cheaper/more expensive though

after the show

over-eager fans.

inspired by how Philibert had managed to meet the lead actress in Wicked after the show, we thought we'd go round the buiding and hang around outside the stage door, cos maybe harry, i mean, daniel, would come out :D

and we saw even more over-eager fans

i used to scoff at those girls who chased 5566 and A1 and Westlife.

but i felt like one of them as I stood there on my toes with the rest of the fans eagerly craning our necks to see who was exiting the building

(not just young females mind you! there was an old British man, a middle-aged British lady, and quite disturbingly, a large bunch of gays. But they probably weren't waiting for Daniel Radcliffe la. I think.)


but Harry never came out :( oh wells.

got to do more packing and annoying flat stuff sighs, ask me about the show if you want to know what it was about yeah?

will be back in singapore on Sunday. SEE YOU ALL REAL SOON! :D

Ok. Excitement over. My cheap thrill has thus ended.

Time to hit the books! Go go go!

Seriously, sleep is actually very overrated. I have no idea why. It just is.

Tuition overtimed and when I passed by HC, the concert was over and everyone was gone already. Much earlier than RJ band. But whatever. Felt stupid.

Plus throughout the night, I had the sudden urge to drink. I don't know why. Just felt like it. Especially when I passed by sixth avenue.


Funny, it made me think of that time after SYF results was released. All of us were loitering along Orchard, and most of us were pretty depressed. Then some of us just came in accord to the conclusion that we wanted to drink alcohol that night. Just drink, one night only. We were passing by the Bailey's (sp?) counter in Cold Storage and almost bought one bottle and some ice to share among the batch, when we realised that we were quite broke. Thank goodness though, who knows what could have happened. Haha, now I still feel like laughing at Melmel's remark about Bacardi when we mentioned alcohol that night. Such black humour.

Drinking alone is the first sign of alcoholism, apparently. So don't worry, I will take it seriously.
