i left my handphone at home.
then i realized i misplaced a simcard.
i got totally distracted by Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella (no thanks to Syud, hahahaha)
(i just finished reading it, btw. i looOoOve Ed Harrison!!! *swoons*).
i wonder how it was back then when handphone's weren't a neccesity.
now i'm stuck waiting around the landline for Significant Other to call just because i don't have a phone on me.
and i really need to go to the toilet.
and poor Syaz tried calling me and got my whole office (well, my two colleagues actually) because i'm working from a conference room and the only phone in the room is a speaker phone (sorry Syaz T_T).
and the email in my inbox didn't really improve my mood. in fact, it detoriated my mood even further (next step: move on).
i'm hoping that this evening would turn out to be alot better.
the one consolation prize right now is that there's no conference call tonight. so i can cabut early later. yay!
i went to see HBP yesterday evening! was lucky enough to get good seats, despite booking the movie a day before. most of the cinemas were already fully booked.
from the HBP
i loved how the three main characters were looking all so grown up.
there were some scenes in the movie that were not mentioned in the book, and there were some parts of the story in the book that were cut out from the movie.
the movie felt a little bit rushed to me (i guess that's forgivable since they had to compress an entire book into one 2hour+ movie).
i imagined horace slughorn to be more... fat.
i didn't really notice Harry in the quidditch scene (since it was mostly about Ron, lol. he looks hideous in the Keeper outfit btw, haha).
and Bellatrix going around burning things? hmmm (see, you can never achieve the effect you would've wanted to in the book for scenes like this).
i liked how they developed Ron-Hermione relationship thingy into the movie =P.
the movie was OK. i prefer the book over the movie. but i guess the movie wouldn't be so interesting if they followed the plotline in the book word for word. there are some things that are depicted remarkably in words in a book that would've sound totally boring on the screen, in my opinion. that's where the power of imagination comes in =D.
Significant Other was totally not into this movie, he was never a fantasy fan (he's not into Lord Of the Rings either). he kept bugging me for updates on the storyline throughout the movie.
p/s. i had already painstakingly typed two paragraphs regarding my HP experience in the car when my stupid MB modem acted up. i clicked on the 'Save as Draft' button and POOF! all my typings vanished into thin air, only to be replaced with some stupid IE error page. huwaaaaaaaa *sob*.
don't you hate it when you have to retype something? you can try to recall what you've typed, but your ideas just aren't the same. grrrrr.
