It's nice finally meeting our cedar clique again. Hmm. I can't seem to remember the last time we met up. Probably for HP5... Was a great catch up session. We agreed that the 'not my daughter you bitch' was underwhelming and Jasmine said that there's this artist, Acciobrain, on deviantART (love that site) who drew a picture with greater impact (in an image!) than the scene in the movie. Guess that shows you how poorly done it was. There were other funny stuff as well, especially the part where Harry grabbed Voldemort and the both of them went down into the Hogwards courtyard... that was a bit too.. radical I think. Also the part where Voldemort just flaked into ashes instead of clearly showing how the Avada Kedavra rebounded back on him... It's strange that this happened because JK Rowling was one of the producers for the movie, yet there was so much (strange) deviations from the text. Maybe it's a creative override from the director or something. Hmm. Oh I also liked the horn solos whenever Neville did something special... like when he clambered up to safety after the collapse of the bridge... it's almost like a heroic kind of Neville theme, haha. Afterwards we went to eat at LENAS which is beside M.O.F (and owned by M.O.F as well) where the food was a tad out of my budgety though it was pretty good. I liked the whole soup in a bread bowl idea, especially as you don't see it much in singapore any more: fondly remember the puff pastry on the soup in Pizza Hut, but they've long stopped that... Probably not going to eat there soon though.
I was so tempted to get a Build-A-Bear! They are just too cute! Oh my gosh... but it will be added pressure on my budget... hrrrrrumm.
It's time to start spending less, I've been like a total spendthrift this vacation... When school starts it will get much easier because I won't be going out much, plus I'll get pocket money again. Breakfast will be repackaged breakfast cereals and also I'll have to avoid the fast food in school. Wow I feel like Jon Lee, haha. There's a guy who's careful about his money! Always generous with his friends though, so that's a pretty good combination I think. I also feel that with friends one shouldn't be stingy, though of course, if there is a good way to save money without compromising on quality, that's always good. Like how I saved $2 for everyone's tickets today by asking them, 'Oh don't you have a student discount on weekdays?', heh. But it was also because the counter guy was really nice, because only my younger bro has a valid student card (I suspect they are not supposed to accept NUS student cards) and plus Jasmine forgot her student card, but he just said okay, so we happy lor. Haha.
Argh... there has been no progress on the exercise arrangement for thursday/friday. I've a good mind to become the coordinator for the event, set up an excel file, the works. Aiyo. ZY's mom is worried about ghosts. I can't really say anything, if ZY can't convince her mom I think there's not much that an outsider can do.
Btw today I asked my mom about taking ballet lessons. She was against it because she said that my paternal aunt used to be a dancer but now has a lot of joint problems. I should ask my aunt about that and ask her if she would recommend that I learn dance. I told mom that the reason why I wanted to learn ballet was to learn something new, and she said that I could continue with my flute (she has a point...). So I think no go on that front for now. We'll see. I also asked her about supplements. It's like how you should have good skin if you eat right, but why do we still need so many facial products then? Aren't they all medicines too? And do they not all eventually enter our system as well? Blah. I'll try convincing her again tomorrow. Probably the fault was mine because I picked the wrong time to ask: when she was watching a show, haha.
