"It all ends", but for me, not quite.

Assalam. HI.

Hmm not sure if I'm digging this new layout or not. I haven't been updating at all on my new life in pre-U. I'm WA-HAYYY too lazy for my own good and I haven't that much ample time.

But since something really awesome happened (and coincidentally, it's mid-term break now) so I just want to let it out! Yesterday night, I was on national TV! At least one-fifth of my head did in a nanosecond or two =_= The whole PASUM students got pranked by the TV show Bang Bang Boom (kinda like Punk'd Malaysian version but without the recurrent Hollywood celebrity appearance) I really thought my friends and I will show up because we did something worthy of a brief TV appearance when the camera went on our row to capture the audience's reaction after getting pranked XD 

But NO.

Lol nevermind, And now I'm too lazy to elaborate on that, because THERE'S A BIGGER EVENT THAT HAS HAPPENED! And the real reason why I went on to blog about it but keep blabbing about other things in the first place! no it's not about the mid-term exams next week of which I'm not studying for right now but rather,

THIS!

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2

Seriously, the best part of this movie is "The Prince's Tale" (where Harry watches on Snape's memory after he died) Reading the book, it had a huge impact on me, but nothing compared to what Alan Rickman portrayed on the big screen. It was executed really well and covered up all the flaws in this movie (Voldemort-Draco hug, anyone? =_=) I've been an avid fan since I was 8, this series has been a a part of more than half my life, but it could count as whole of my life, really because you know, between you and me, I don't remember the first half of my life much *failed sarcasm* It truly was an amazing ride, and I feel bad for the future generation who could not experience the suspense and the excitement waiting for the next movie or book and quizzing on who's the next beloved character that JK Rowling wants to die off what might happen next.

‎”No story lives unless someone wants to listen. The stories we love best do live in us forever. So, whether you come back page by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”

-JK Rowling 

Such beautiful words. Hmm though I don't think I've ever truly shown that I'm a Potterhead on this blog though. My Potter fandom renaissance was 2007 and prior. Coming 2008, where I've been busy with PMR exams and no Harry Potter movies or books came out that year, it kind of died out a bit (and it was the year I start blogging). WOW CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED THOUGH O_O After SPM, I read the series again and fell head over heels all over again.

I've went on a post-Potter depression ever since the last scene of Part 2 blacks out. But the upcoming mid-terms has "healed" it better than time ever could. I think It would resume after the mid-term though lol. Inshaallah I really hope to watch it again with Amirah and Alya, I miss them so much T_T

And the moment I've been waiting for,

PHOTOS OF THE HUNGER GAMES CAST!

I ACTUALLY SQUEALED OF EXCITEMENT UPON WATCHING THESE PHOTOS. Can't believe this is really happening. Amirah Hanisah Mariyam Aini Amal Syafiqah Ain Aini! MUST WATCH THIS IN CINEMAS TOGETHER NEXT YEARRRRR

Ok bye then.

PS; Ramadan is next week! Inshaallah I'd really hope I could make the best out of it this year, because I;ve been taking it for granted all these past years and didn't truly appreciate it. I hope I can experience a true Ramadan this year inshaallah. Amin!

Oh, August 24.

Awesome cover.

:D

When a pen was set to paper, and the fingers to the keyboard.

Salam allo. Taking a break from such "mind-blowing" studying (haha) and hanging the recently washed curtains, I want to blog about this amazing book I've recently read.

My sister, Yana brought home a Scholastic order brochure from her tuition centre which offers discounted books of Scholastic publications and the price cuts were very tempting. And some books are even discounted to up to 80%! So bought a book for me and for Yana and my friends Hanif and Hanisah ordered a few, as well. And after about three weeks (or more maybe) of agonizing waiting  finally received the books after coming back from Ain's open house!

That night, I missed Nur Kasih because I was quite sleepy and since I usually read to sleep I started on the book, which frankly, exceeds the usual page quota of me falling into sleep. Mwahaha. The following day, I finished it up! If I read it straight to the end from the beginning, it'll probably took about 5 hrs, I think. Nevertheless, it was a very good read. The series are a mix of suspense, philosophy, adventure and romance. It's about err, let me copy paste the plot of the first book, The Hunger Games from wikipedia first. Here you go:

The Hunger Games is a young adult science fiction novel written by bestselling author of The Underland Chronicles, Suzanne Collins. It was originally published in hardcover on September 14, 2008 by Scholastic Press. It is the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy. It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains.

And this book certainly sparked my readaholism back (which I had lost contact with for a while) and I ended up craving to go to MPH for the sequel, which is Catching Fire. Which is less likely though -___- Besides, I haven't finished a quite a stack of books yet, so I don't think Baba will be all that very pleased if I want to buy another.

Three of the books, Sherlock Holmes, Under Orders and Eragon were from a shop that sells unwanted outdated books or books that don't really sell and costs only RM10 each! I haven't finished them yet - insyaAllah will do sometime. Kisah Nabi-nabi dalam Al-Quran was when I won (don't remember which place though) a Tilawah competition at the masjid when I was in standard 4, which surprises me too because I'm not really that very good x) I've read most of it, although not in order, but insyaAllah I'll finish it up soon. Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark was a birthday gift from Alya and there's actually a story behind it, but nvm ehak.

And the smallest book on top is a classic, Tom Sawyer worth RM2.50 which is another stingy proof of me of buying books. And the second from the top is Sally Nicholl's Ways To Live Forever, I almost finished it, almost, but I wasn't very eager to finish it and I read it in long intervals and Syafiqah, Amalina and Hanisah had borrowed it, so I haven't finished the book until today x) But, Hanisah said it was very touching and she even cried at the last part, so that attracts me enough I think, haha.

So, I can't quite buy another book now. But never mind, there's always the internet. I read some of the sequel (Catching Fire) at scribd.com and it was really good and you felt pity for the lead, which is Katniss Everdeen for the predicaments she has to go through and that no matter what she did, she seems to always hurt someone (in mortality not emotionally -_-) and the story telling leads me to read more, but realizing the finals are haunting upon me, I ended up reading only about a quarter of it. But it was very exciting though :D If only these would be more appealing.
