Guess what? Everybody thinks Dumbledore is not dead after all!!
Take a look here http://dumbledoreisnotdead.com. With so many reasonable clues (though said there “weak clues”), I really think Dumbledore will come back in the next book. :D Hooray hooray! But it’s gonna be a longgg time before the final book is out.. but I’ll keep on waiting and hoping :D

Pranks
Why do people like to play pranks on people? What’s so funny or enjoyable about that? I think the last time I made fun of people was in Primary 3, my favourite teacher being the unfortunate victim, on April Fool’s day.
I never like those “Just For Laugh” or “Candid Camera” type of show. Personally I think it’s disgusting to make fun of people…dupe innocent people into thinking they’ve done something terribly wrong, watch their terrified face on tv and laugh till you dropped.. Disgusting. Imagine you are the victim…
There is this radio station, in the morning show, the 2 DJs will call someone, the victim, trying to wake him or her up. They will call several times, ask questions like what time is it, or pretend to be someone else, blah blah blah, till the victim got fed up then they tell him or her it’s their friend who request the DJs to wake him or her up. One victim got really fed up on the 4th time the DJs called and yelled “Fucklah!”… It turned out that this person was actually on leave, and this friend of him and the DJs had spoilt his nice cozy sleep. It wasn’t funny, not funny at all.
There’s a bit of a Hermione Granger in me, I guess. I think it’s so childish to play pranks on people. I never agree with actions like pulling people’s chair away when they’re about to sit, hiding away people’s stuff, so and so. My colleague once wanted me to play along when they hide another colleague’s stuff. I told her, you want to hide it, don’t let me see it. If not I will tell. I simply cannot stand not telling the victim where his stuff is.

Harry Potter
I read Harry Potter 6 from 2pm yesterday till 3am this morning... 13 hrs... stopping only to shower and eat and pee. Never have I finished a thick book like that in one day. Never have I so enthralled in any story like that.
However, every time I finished reading a Harry Potter story it made me depressed. With each consequent story getting worse... Harry Potter 5 was already bad, with Sirius Black gone, the one person whom Harry really liked and whom was Harry's godfather. And now Harry Potter 6... with Dumbledore gone to be one of the portrait in the headmaster's room... Dumbledore died.. I have guessed this would be it. And I am right.
I was so tired at 3am having finished the whole book. But I couldn't sleep, depressed.. Dumbledore's dead. Harry Potter's story affects me greatly. I wonder why. It's fiction for God's sake... but still...
I cannot fathom J.K.Rowling's mind... Why would she wants Dumbledore dead? It's bad enough she put Sirius Black to death... I feel this, somehow, is too much to take for a children's story. I'm an adult, I didn't take it well... what about the kids? I wonder how the kids feel after they've read the book.
I wish Dumbledore didn't have to die... It's really sad...
Note: At the point of writing this post, there were not many who knew about my blog. And those who know, I know that they don't read Harry Potter. So I didn't put any "contains spoiler" warning on the top of this post...
I have caused someone to unwillingly "find out" Dumbledore will die in the book...
I should not have written this post... I apologise to those who read this post BEFORE they finish reading Harry Potter... Sincerely apologise... I'm sorry...

Madagascar
I want to go to Madagascar. Not because of the recent animation "Madagascar" of course...
It's a place I've always dream of going, and Africa and Galapagos.
I want to see animals in their own habitats. I want to see lemurs in Madagascar, although I can see them in Singapore Zoo... but that's not the same of course.
I don't want to have holidays in China, or Taiwan or Australia, etc...(of course I would if money is not a factor lah... BUT now money is a BIG factor) I want to save my money to have a trip to either Madagascar, Africa or Galapagos. Madagascar should be the cheapest out of the 3... so hopefully one day I will able to go Madagascar first. I wonder when can I achieve this dream...
