| It's
Pottermania time and look at how many of its books sold worldwide! Unbelievable,
and simply amazing to think about it especially if that person is none
other than the author herself, JK Rowling. By just her fifth book out
of seven book series of Harry Potter, she is already richer than the
Queen of the British Empire! Imagine when book 6 is out. The 5th book
was sold out in a matter of moments and one has to wait for about 1.5
weeks before the next batch of stock arrives. My sister has been keeping
tabs on it, though it costs a whopping RM89.90, it's still a tad cheaper
than those sold in the US and UK. At the time being , I am rereading
the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) as to keep up with the story and many details
that I had long but 'naturally' forgotten. By the way, the telephone
was finally fixed...... |

| It's
Monday blues but I felt like smelling orchids will keep the blues away...not!
It turned out to be a true blue day as my house telephone got wrecked
from a heavy mid-afternoon downpour. There weren't any much deafening
thunders that time but when a call rang just after the rain, the phone
gone berserk upon picking up. Calls could still be received but not
answerable. It's time to get Telekom guys to come over and fix it up.
Ironically and fortunately, my Internet line (another phone line) wasn't
affected at all. Could it be a stray cat got stuck inside the phone
cable linking to the exchange outside my house? :P Will only know when
the Telekom-men come. |

| Poor
Julie has white spots on certain part of her body and I suspect it could
be the stray cats around the neighbourhood causing it. She is also prone
to scratching, even straight after bath. I could not tell whether she
just likes to scratch herself or it's those catprints that she always
love to meddle with. Dogs really have a good sense of smell. Eventually
I learned that it's her scratching that caused those white spots over
her body, especially the area around her ears and neck. She needs more
attention. The day had none been any different from the rest and I was hoping for rain to come but it didn't come, at least for until the time I am blogging here. Now, for the Harry Potter fans out there, try this quiz and see which character you are actually aligned with! I got Harry Potter, and Hermione was close behind :)  Which HP Kid Are You? |

| The
weekly badminton game session was called off today due to insufficient
number of players, and also because most of the regular players were
off at Langkawi for their company's executive seminar. The three of
us who were not at the northern tip of Malaysia instead brought forward
the weekly schedule of network cybergaming straight after lunchtime.
We then opted to play Warcraft III custom-made game called Tower Defence
and were instantly hooked for several rounds. Then, a fourth member
joined us until we left for evening tea. We went home straight after
that. |

A
boring day and therefore I called up some members of the POGT CS Gang
to go 'shooting' at the usual spot. Eager as the restless mongoose,
they thought it was a great idea and looked forward to meet me there.
As unpredictable as the wind, I ended up 38 minutes late with 1,001
reasons given to my fellow members who quickly gave a 5 out of 5 rating
in displaying the 'why-are-you-late?' attitude to me. Sorry:) Just
when everyone of us had finally thought that time has no place for
men at later night did we decide to check out from the shooting ground
and go home. |

The
long heatwave purpotedly ended with a brief spell of rain over Shah
Alam. It was a heartfelt welcome and at last I could smell the cool
air around me when I walked out from my house interior. What seemed
to be a welcome rain for the capital of Selangor turned out to be
a nightmare for the capital of Malaysia! A 40-minute downpour left
the Kuala Lumpur city centre area with the worst flash flood for many
years. At first I did not realise the impact it had done as I received
news via SMS from some friends in early evening that they got stuck
and could only reach home late at night. I was to submit my credit
card payment bill at Citibank in Jalan Ampang, which I duly went at
night. |
