Social Life at Hogwarts

Most people that know you, like you. You are a little shy, friendly, and very sweet and innocent. You try your best in your studies and often get an okay grade. You are scared of the dark, monsters, and bugs. You love your friends, but sometimes don't trust all of them. You are very quiet around strangers, but when your with your friends you could be the loudest person in the room.

Harry: He is happy for you and Ron and thinks you are a great person. He is kind of torn about who he thinks should be with Ron in the end. It's either you and Hermione, but he thinks you are both good for Ron.

Ron: He loves you. He's glad that you both share the same fears, such as spiders. He thinks you are great to be with and is completely comfortable in your presence. He knows that you and Hermione have a tension between you and always leaves quickly when you three are all together. He is so glad you are his girlfriend, and prays that you'll never leave him.

Hermione: She hates you because you took Ron away. Her logical side knows she's judging you wrong, but her heart refuses to forgive you. She wants to be your best friend again, like she was before you started dating Ron, but everytime she sees you with him she storms off. Jealousy is a tricky thing.

Ginny: She is one of your closest friends. She can't wait til you and her become sisters-in-law. However, she is also torn, like Harry, on who is more of Ron's soul mate. She always says gross when she sees you and Ron snogging, but besides that she's happy that your around the Burrow all the time with Ron.

Neville: He thinks your nice, but that's basically it.

Fred and George: They adore you and pick on you for going out with Ron. They like to tease the two of you when you are snogging and laugh when you both blush. They always tell you about there pranks and love how you laugh and appreciate them. They are ready to weldome you into the family.

Oliver Wood: He doesn't know you that well. Only sees you as the quiet girl who is Ron's girlfriend.

Cedric Diggory: Doesn't know you.

Cho Chang: Thinks you are really cute and the sweetest little thing. She thinks you are very innocent and is always very nice to you.

Lavender Brown: She finds it hard to hate you, since you are so nice and all, but deep down she hates you with every fiber in her body. She is thinking of joining with Hermione to get rid of you, but knows that Hermione wouldn't go that far.

Draco Malfoy: Thinks you and Weasley deserve each other. Both blood traitors. Deep down he wishes he found someone like that, but won't admit it. He thinks you're an okay person, but can't say that for fear of getting punished.

Pansy: Doesn't know or talk to you.

Crabbe and Goyle: Same as Pansy.

Dumbledore: He thinks you are very nice and wishes you the best with Mister Weasley.

McGonagall: She appreciates your effort in class and thinks you are a great student. She just wished that you and Mister Weasley would stop staring at each other during class.

Hagrid: He thinks you are a great girl and laughs when you and Ron always blush. He thinks you two are the cutest couple. He calls it 'puppy love'.

Snape: He doesn't notice you and doesn't care. He takes house points from you every now and then, not because he hates you, it's because you always manage to do something wrong in your potions.

Voldemort: Is thinking of using you to get Ron, but doesn't know if you're worth the trouble. Has you on his list of people to kill, but you aren't exactly his top priority.

National Day Special

Singapore celebrated her 41st birthday on Wednesday and for the first time in my whole life (if I remember correctly), I decided not to stay home and watch TV specials. Instead, I took a little trip around the sunny isle to see if there were Kodak moments worth capturing. First up: Istana Park, all dressed up for the occasion.


The fringe activities at Kallang.


En route to the stadium; redder than Chinese New Year!


The spectrum of men serving the nation. There was a whole array of crisis vehicles (I mean things like ambulances, fire trucks, special ops vehicles etc) parked in a line at the carpark but I didn't get a picture.


One last one at the National Stadium...


I then headed to town. Buses (at least the SBS ones) now carry a Singapore flag as do taxis. And that was a whole bunch of tourists on a city tour. I didn't realise the tour company has its grip here too! These buses are all over Europe, at least in ALL the cities I had been to so far. Scary!


Closer home, this is the display my RC put up and that is a very patriotic neighbour living in my block. Now maybe they should have paid more attention when hanging the flag...

And to round it off, the moon decided to put up a show that night.

Weekend Gallivants

15 July: Alien Invasion!
National Orchid Gardens (Singapore)

Orchids are really quite bizarrely designed flowers. Other than the fact the they have the same number of petals, there doesn't seem to be any other rule that govern the gamut of colours, shapes and sizes that runs in the family of our national flower.


29 July: National Cuisine?
Changi Airport Terminal 2

The sundae is our very own creation: sticky chewy chocolate and blueberry flavours for icer-cream and butterscotch and marshmallow for toppings. We found out that the marshmallow topping is in liquid rather than solid state. Heh. The chicken rice and wanton (hurhur, no pun intended) noodles are quite decent considering that they cost more than counterparts from your neighbourhood foodcourt. The chicken is tender and tasty and the serving of xiao bai cai is generous.


5 August: Pyrotechnics!
Singapore Fireworks Festival, Esplanade Waterfront

Why is it that I never have my tripod when I need it? AND that whenever I do bring it out I don't get to use it. Tsk tsk. But I managed to take some okay pictures I think, so I'm not going to complain anymore, heh. I like fireworks! Seems like many Singaporeans do too because the waterfront was packed when we got there at 7.45 pm while the fireworks were slated to begin only at 9 pm. The little boy is so cute; the fireworks hadn't started yet, in case you are wondering. Pre-emptive measures eh, grin.



You can still catch the displays on the 8th, 11th and 12th. And don't forget the National Day ones on the 9th!

Zzing!

The more I sat, the more tired I felt.

The more I read (whether it is a novel, a reference book, a scientific paper or even newspapers), the more tired I felt.

The more I did nothing, the more tired I felt.

But. The moment I put on my running shoes and step out for a jog, I feel awake. Alive. Happy! I'm so glad I discovered running. The wind (if there is wind) in my face, the sun (if there is sun) on my skin... but most of all the clarity of mind that inevitably comes along.

I like running at the neighbourhood stadium. More so than at the track in school or on a treadmill somewhere indoors. At the public stadium, I get to see people of all ages and from all walks of life. Interesting! (There was a cute kid today; his grandpa took him out for fresh air. He's really cute, haha, like small kids are. And pretty agile and fearless!)

It suddenly struck me as I was running that much as I like research and lab and academia (or maybe I think I like, haha), I don't think I'll survive if that is the only thing in my life. I need to get out and work something other than my brain!

So. I want to run!

And I also want to shoot!

For as long as I can. Heh.
