| Finally
finished reading the latest Harry Potter book. I must say that it's
a much different Harry Potter as himself on his 5th year at Hogwarts.
A sign that he's growing up being at the mid-teens, and an intriguing
character called Luna Lovegood...hmmm. It was really a good read and
after finishing the last chapter, I don't even recall what was on the
first few chapters of the book. I'd reread the book soon and I did have
a thought lingering in my mind halfway thru the story, on whether this
episode will be featured in the movies. Now that Daniel Radcliffe &
Co are filming the 3rd chapter of the saga Harry Potter and The
Prisoner of Azkaban, which is scheduled to be released in mid-2004,
it is their final part of the contract that they will be in this show
business. Rumours have it that Daniel didn't want to continue after
HP:PoA as he wanted to focus on his studies. Is it true? Rumours can
just be rumours, not if you played have Persona 2 on the Playstation!
:) Last evening I was invited to a friend's birthday BBQ dinner at Ara Damansara near the old Subang airport. The dinner turned out to be a birthday celebration for three friends! |

| This
day me and my family and relatives (mother's side) celebrated grandma's
birthday at
Summer Palace restaurant. At the same time, the restaurant was the host
for someone's wedding dinner. We had our occassion in one of the private
rooms that has a karaoke set. Interestingly, we took the set and sang
our hearts for the night to celebrate grandma's birthday, even grandma
herself sang a few songs. In the end, it was an enjoyable night. |

No! I still blog, not for the sake of just blogging but also as my memory of what I did if I were to look back to at my site here someday. Take it as sort of my personal 'Pensieve' ;) 'Scuse me? What? A Pensieve is a magical basin of liquid that keeps a person's thoughts. Only found in the world of Harry Potter, and used by the great wizard Dumbledore. Now speaking of Harry Potter, I just bought the latest edition, Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix from Carrefour Subang Jaya. What thought to be a hard-to-get item two weeks ago turned out to be extremely easy as Carrefour had restocked and laid out a stall full of the latest Harry Potter book. Apart from the book, I went to get a new pair of sports shoes at Athelete's World as the previous shoes were worn bad and disposed. |

| It's
America's Independence Day! Let's hear the Star Spangled Banner anthem.
I just happened to notice the advertisement on Astro satelitte tv about
a new sci-fi drama called Taken directed by Steven Spielberg. From the
look of the ad, it's highly intriguing and I couldn't wait for it to
be screened, which is scheduled to be on this coming Sunday 6 July.
In case you don't know what's this drama about, it's about alien beings
visiting Earth in late 1940s onwards and was based on the famous Roswell
incident in 1947. Stories were centred around a few families whose encounters
with humanoid hairless aliens with big black eyes and spindly limbs.

A
recent survey by The Star press revealed a shocking revelation about
the police force in the country. We all know that there is a shortage
of police personnel in Malaysia but not with a little bit more detail
of how short is that shortage until the survey popped up. In Petaling
Jaya, one of the most densely populated areas in Malaysia and has
the highest number of crime activities around, has a police-resident
ratio of 1 for around 3,000 residents! The worst is Subang Jaya, considered
medium-to-high class area with a ratio of 1 policeman for every 10,400
residents!! This is scary, and considering the recent spate of crimes,
nobody will dare to go for evening walk. I for sure will see that
I don't go 'astray' out of the house for no reason but catching fresh
air. |
