Movie Review : Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

Hey guys. Just came back from the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Wore my customized shirt and it feels amazing!

We went to catch the 7.30pm timeslot and thank god there isn't ASP after the Motivational booster, which initially i thought should end at 1.55pm so that we could go for our ASP till around 4pm. The motivational booster lasted till 3.30pm and just imagine having to go to ASP after that. I'll go mad.

Anyways, i would love to share my thoughts!

This is obviously part 2 of the Deathly Hallows, in other words, it's a continuation of the part 1.

So what exactly do i meant? I would suggest you to re-watch part 1, in case you've been so tied up with your stuff that you forgot all about it.

The scenes were very fast. Very brief, not much of explaining. Having read the book, lots of things were not being shown and explained. Perhaps you would like to pick up a copy of the deathly hallows before watching the Movie. Basically, you will just crave for more when the movie ends.

On the Positive side, i love the Battle of Hogwarts. It's absolutely stunning. However, the deaths of the fellow people should have been shown. As in how they died and not just die there.

Of course, there are scenes that will make the people in the cinema laughs, hard.

I just can't stand the way Voldermort laughs. It's suppose to be vicious but he made it seemed hilarious and i was laughing away. Sometimes i think he needs to enunciate his spells clearer...

So, yeah, i'm sure you guys should've read the book already, therefore more or less expect certain important scenes to be shown in the movie. As for small parts, don't even expect.

They seemed to change some part of the story though, for example, Harry, Ron and Hermonie were thinking of exchanging a fake Gryffindor's sword for the help of the Goblin so that they could get into Bellatrix vault to get the Hufflepuff cup. They didn't mention that part.

And i didn't know that the items in Bellatrix vault would multiply when touched.. i thought the vault was on fire.

The 19 years later were a bit fast though. Should have showed more about Draco and introduce all of the kids, not just one of Harry's child. What about Ron's and Hermonie's?

All in all, i give Harry potter and the deathly hallows 4/5. It captures your vision from the start till the end. It sends your heart pumping throughout the show. Only improvement would be perhaps explaining it clearly.

My very own Customized Harry Potter shirt!

Hey guys. This is the my very own customized Harry Potter Shirt!

Yep you're right, i'll be wearing this to watch the movie on the first day of its release date!

Here's the front.

Here's the BACK.

And this is the design on the sleeves. Left and Right sleeves respectively.

5 more days!

I have stuck with Harry until the very end.

Hey guys, looks like i'm back to blogging. Just look at the date! I would like to do an update of major events that has happened this while.

I had my O Level Chinese Oral today, 8th of July. First of all, it's held in the Library, how weird.. Secondly, during the 5 mins reading time, we sat in a way such that we are facing the other students. What the? But that's okay, we get to study their expression. The passage was okay, the conversion was somewhat similar to the Day 1 question. The problem with me was that i kept repeating my points i guess... ok don't really want to talk about this..

Luckily, there's something i can look forward to! Harry Potter! Yes, my saviour!

Thousand thanks to my Er Jie for the tickets! She booked the tickets yesterday! That means the two of us are gonna watch it on the day it is release, 14th July. How awesome is that?

OH and not forgetting, we'll be wearing our Harry potter shirt that day to the show!

I've set myself a target, i'm gonna have a Harry Potter Marathon on next Wednesday, just a day before Deathly hallows part 2 is release. Our Potter project is not done yet.. Hopefully, we will be able to complete it soon.

Oh well, i can't think of anything right now though i know i have tons and tons of things to update. Will update immediately when i'd thought of it.

Until here.

Embarking on a Potter Project.

Mid Year Examination officially ended last Friday, by right, we should be relaxing and enjoying. But no, thats definitely not the case for me. It's time to work towards MT O Levels. What a pathetic life... But hey, everyone has to go through this stressful period so yeah, just have to work hard and play hard later on after O Levels.

It's Monday today and we had our post exam activities.
The Career Fair was beneficial to me. It makes me have a clearer idea of what awaits me after my education and what can i pursue after this. Then of course, the unforgetable programme, Dance. Okay seriously why would the school even bother to plan this and claim that they are specially designed for the sake of holistic development. I mean i appreciate what the school has done for us, because from what i heard from other schools, they are having Intensive MT lessons..

Anyways, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 will be showing somewhere in July and you know what? My Second sister and i will be embarking on this so called project, where we will create a "All you need to know about Harry Potter in 10 mins" to show our appreciation to this entire series. Thanks a bunch to Rowling for creating this magical wizarding world that even i myself have thought that this world might really exist. It's such an amazing series powerful enough to make you want to watch and read the entire series all over again.

Hopefully, our "project" will be a success.

It's been a while since i started to write about soccer. Haha, ok whatever so United just won their 19th title and my Third sister showed me a picutre of her friend with a United Jersey and printed at the back of the jersey was "We did it 19 times" Ok i would say it was pretty cool but because it's a United stuff, it sucks. Chelsea drew with Newcastle 2 - 2 and luckily Arsenal lost to Aston Villa. Phew.. secured our Second place. I don't know what's going to happen to Chelsea and what Roman will plan to do.. like bringing in Zola, Mourinho or Hiddink to replace Ancelotti?

Selling of players? It's always sad to see players whom we've watched them play leave. Players like Ballack, Deco, Belletti, well come on they are great players..

Until here then.

Band No.40 : Silver!

Hey guys. I've been busy these days and one of the reason is because of the once in 2 years Singapore Youth Festival central judging for band. Oh and by the way, our competition was on the 5th of April.

Good news, we got a silver! Although it didn't meet our expectation, (we wanted a gold), given the fact that we managed to sustain it, we are already very happy.

The band before us was ACS Independent.. the stress level is there as a result.

Here are some pictures.

Soundcheck.

I compiled them together and that is why is looks small!

This is when we were in the tuning room and getting ready.

And let me introduce this is you.

The East Spring Concert Hall.

(Yes and apparently, it is in the Parade Sqaure)

We sound good when we play there.

And finally, teachers from my school congratulating us.

Thanks a lot!

Okay something random here. The new 2011/2012 kit!

Till here.

What? End of March Holiday?

Hey guys. I can't believe this. It's already the last day of March Holiday.

It shouldn't be called a Holiday, it should be called March extra intensive week.

It's good that i finished all my holiday homework even before the March holiday started.

Spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday to finish all of them. That feeling of completing all your homework is just splendid.

The following days that follows = Insane.

Monday and Tuesday - Motivational Talk

Tuesday to Thursday - Band Camp

Wednesday to Thursday - Science Practicals

Saturday - Band Exchange @ Deyi Sec

Now where's my holiday?

Anyway, i'm not here to rant. I'm just gonna update a little.

Picture says it all. That match was at 3.45am and i couldn't afford to miss it so i woke up and watch it with my sister and brother even though there is school the next day.

It was around 5.45pm when the match end so it's roughly time to prepare for school.. It was a torturous day in school for me. Damn fatigue. But hey its 2 - 1 so i was rather happy in school that day. Haha.

There's gonna be a few more big matches and one of them is today at 11.55pm.

Guess what? It's Monday tomorrow and dang! I'll still be watching it so... just hope i don't fall asleep in class!

On Monday, i actually had my first ever online shopping. Haha and it's on games.

Ordered Disney Epic Mickey on Monday through Qisahn and it came on Wednesday.

Transaction made was pretty fast but delivery wasn't exactly on time. It is suppose to arrive on Tuesday but it only arrive the day after. Played the game and i love it! This is my 12th Wii game by the way.

Finally, the last update, at 5pm today, there's actually a live performance by Youtube Symphony Orchestra 2011 held at Sydney Opera House. Our tutor was actually there and proud to say that he is the only Singaporean that manage to get into the symphony. I thought it was pretty cool to have a live performance through youtube. Haha.

One last very final last thing. Exchange @ Deyi Secondary.

A total of 12 bands were there, the 12 bands were.

1. Deyi Secondary

2. East Spring Secondary

3. Boon Lay Secondary

4. Victoria School

5. Punggol Secondary,

6. Swiss Cottage,

7. Yuying Secondary

8. Bedok Green Secondary,

9. Green View Secondary

10. Kranji Secondary,

11. Paya Lebar Methodist,

12. Northland Secondary

Great exchange with them!

Till here.

CSI : The Experience!

Hey guys. Okay this is like an overdue post... But anyway, my Da jie and i went to this exhibition, CSI The experience, on the 19th of February which is also the second last day of the exhibition.

Surely you'd know what is it without me telling you so.. It's on the paper and television..

Yup, held in Science Centre. Can you imagine us having to travel all the way from East to the West of Singapore? Yeah i joke with my da jie that we had traveled around Singapore in 1 day. Haha, around Singapore in 1 day.

Right, i need the pictures now. Will post it up tomorrow hopefully if i have the time to.

Till then.

I'm 16? I totally don't look like one.

Hey guys. Yes, i've been questioning myself all these while. Am i really 16? Unfortunately or Fortunately, i am. I just celebrated my Birthday yesterday, 10th of February.

Had a great time because i didn't go to school. Lol.

But hey! I did revision for almost all the subjects at home okay...

Speaking of school, i'm damn sick and tired of this year. Teachers are literally throwing tons and tons of homework directly at our faces. I longed for the next holiday to come. Seriously.

Monday i have ASP. Tuesday free. Wednesday band practice. Thursday ASP. Friday Band Practice. The only time i can rest is weekend. O levels ah.. O levels... I need a stress ball!

Heading back to the topic, which is about my birthday, i'll definitely be posting up pictures soon.

Right now, i can't think of anything else because i just want to sleep.

Welcome El Dino!

Hey guys. I still can't believe it. Title says it all. El Dino = Torres.

So yea i just can't believe it. Come on it's like Drogba to Liverpool.. impossible isn't it!

But it's understandable why Torres wants to leave.. if i were him, i'd leave too.

Just look at the state Liverpool is in now. History changes for them in just two seasons.

Anyway, just wanna give Torres a very warm welcome. Haha. Of course, Chelsea fans will be delighted on your arrival and we hope you'd give your best and do Chelsea proud.

And look what number you've got yourself! It's nine!

I wonder who's the first person to have his name printed at the back of the jersey.

I've printed my name at the back with the number 8 at the back so...

Okay thats about it. What a big transfer..

Welcome!

Blue is the colour,

Football is the game,

We're all together,

and winning is our aim.

I got a Scholarship!

Hey guys. On the 15 of January, i got my second Edusave scholarship award. The first one i got was when i was in Secondary 2 and the second one i receive was when i was in secondary 3.

Okay i'm really happy. Haha. Oh and i was also the top 5% in my school.

I want to share my joy with everyone out there so here the pictures.

This is the letter i received, informing me the venue and the time.

Yes i know it's a little crumpled. Don't mind that.

Thats the envelope that contains the cheque.

It is given together with the scholarship certificate.

I'm the 95th student to receive the award.

I'm definitely gonna work hard this year and get my 3rd Scholarship award!

Meridian JC Open House.

Hey guys. It's the second week since school started. Haven't been able to post due to the tight schedule. I'll be sitting for my O level this year and i tell myself i shall let what happen during my primary school years happen to me this year.

Well, actually nothing really happens in Primary school. Hahhaa what i'm referring to is that if i'd worked harder, i'll probably score even higher for PSLE because i know i can do it.

So... i'm already busy preparing for my O level now. Doing lots of assessments, going through the textbook all over again, making notes and stuff. Yeah, i definitely want to do extremely well for O level this year. Okay enough of the O level thing. About my week in school. First week was pretty alright, but homework is already getting in my way.. but thats okay because i want to do more!

Second week is worse. Even more homework. I would appreciate if the teachers communicate with other subject teachers so that there wouldn't be like homework for every subject everyday! This is insane! And no more notes for Social Studies? What the? You guys want us to do well and now no more notes? Alright.. sure..

I'm currently taking a break so i'm able to turn on the computer and do some leisure stuff. Will be back into the revision mode at night.

Oh yes i went for the Meridian JC Open House on 12 Jan 2011 with my Cousin. The school is really blue and of course, it's my favorite colour so i like it a lot. Pretty big but i have to travel quite a distance to get there. My Uncle said Meridian isn't really a good school as it's a pretty new school and the teachers there do not have much experience. I may have to re consider my choice..

Some pictures here.

Apparently, some blues fan doesn't know what is the meaning being a True Blue.

Hello 2011, Bye 2010.

Hey guys. First of all, a very Happy New Year to all of you. 2010 sure was a great year for me and i hope 2011 would be a even better year!

Last night was the countdown night and i was indeed busy. Nope, i didn't went to countdown. I was counting down at home. Why was i busy then? I was busy switching the channels of the Television. Countdown on Channel 8 looks pretty good. On the other hand, Channel 5 looks awesome too. So what do i do? Switching channels all the time. Great to see long gone celebraties back to countdown with us.

Anyway, i'm not here to discuss about the countdown.

I'm here to list down my new year resolution which i believe most of you should've done so.

Mine's pretty simple actually.

First of all, i hope my Family and Friends will stay healthy, strong, happy and be safe.

Secondly, i hope i do well for my O level this year!

Thirdly, i hope i will live life to the fullest and basically do what i want and pursue my dreams.

School's starting in about another 2 days.
Homework's all done... phew. I can't stay still when i revise my work.. wonder what's wrong. Hahaa. I just hope that everything goes well in 2011.

Okay thats all for today.

Till then.

Movie Review : Gulliver's Travels.

Hey guys. 2 days back, I went to watch Gulliver's travel with my Er Jie and Daren

I don't know if you'll do this but for me, if i want to watch a particular movie, i would always check out it's description and also the comments given by those who'd watched. At first, i thought this movie would definitely score but in fact, it didn't.

Those who'd watched gave it around 2 popcorns out of 5 which is to me, considered a really suckish movie! How could Gulliver's Travel, a movie which i thought would turned out looking good, be worth only 2 popcorns! Nevertheless, we decided to go as planned and watched it.

I'd say i agree with the ratings and i'm gonna give it a 3 out of 5 popcorns.

The reason to why this movie sucks. is probably gonna be because this movie has got no climax at all. I find this movie really draggy and there are some parts which is kinda redundant. Redundant because i totally don't understand some parts and the movie didn't really explain the parts. I mean, since they're not gonna explain then why even bother showing us the part?

The first part of the movie was indeed draggy. Okay so the point is.. he's a mailboy. Ok we got it! Just get to the point! Come on...

We didn't watch in 3D so i couldn't really talk about the effects and whether it's worth watching or not. But from what i know, it sucks. So don't bother paying an extra amount just to watch in 3D. Gulliver's Travel without 3D is just as fine.

Story wise, yes it's Gulliver's Travel. The old classic story. Frankly speaking, i don't really know the exact detail of the story. Yes it's about Gulliver.. washed ashore after a shipwreck. Woke up and find himself at an island called Lilliput. Basically with his help, Lilliput was able to win the fight against their enemy, Blefuscu.

Okay i'm not gonna go through all the content of the story but i'm just gonna say that there's slightly a twist in the movie. But the story is still the same.. just a very slight twist here and there. Jack Black was okay in the movie.

Overall, this movie is for kids. Teenager, Adults, you wouldn't want to catch this movie.
Why? Some of the parts are pretty lame and only kids will laugh and enjoy themselves.
Having said so, thought it sucks seriously, i guess it's still okay to catch this movie if you want to.

3 out of 5 popcorn for this movie.

Update to my Christmas Celebration Post.

Hey guys. The title says it all. This post is an update to my previous Christmas Celebration post.

I wanted to show you guys what i received from my family and also the Ultimate Wii Challenge that i've been talking about. I'm so glad my er jie took some pictures of the Ultimate Wii Challenge. (Apparently, we were all too excited that nobody bothers to take pictures)

Okay so this is what i received.

A Penguin mug, bought from the Universal Studio.

Lacoste shoes

Yep, with the logo right there. Very nice.Whats so special about this pair of shoes? Blue lines and red sole! Brillaint colours isn't it?

Yeahh Westlife Gravity Album!

Winter Penguin! I name him Xiao Xia Xue. Welcome to Animal House!

They're totally like Brothers.

Thats Xiao Shen Dan (Small Christmas) and Xiao Xia Xue (Small Snowing). Say hello!

A Very cool Messenger Bag!

Dad and mum got my brother and i the wii game Donkey Kong Country Returns.

And as for the Ultimate Wii Challenge, there isn't really much pictures to show the games we've played. This game is called "Hide and Hunt" if i'm not wrong. It is found under the House Party section. Oh and by the way, this is a wii game called Wii Party.

Maybe a little explanation is required here..

Well, this game is basically hide and hunt. One person hides the remote and the others tries to locate it within the time limit which is 100 seconds.

In case you're wondering what the hell are they doing..

They are searching for the remotes!

Apparently, the remotes gives out an animal sound to help you locate it.

Yes indeed it helps you to get closer and closer to the remote but sometimes, it can also cause you to be confused and the next thing you know you are running all over the place.

Daren's pretty good. Hmmm hahaha. Searching high and low for it.

And finally the final score is out!

As i'd mention about the tie part in the previous post, i shall not repeat it again.

After the 1VS 1 Minigame, this is the final position with me myself, in the second position!

I lost to my Er jie hence causing me to earn second place! Oh well, i suck at that game so.. yea.

Hahhaa but it was really fun.

Thats about all!

Oh dang school's starting next week.
