I'm not sure whether I'm weird or what. People around me are so hyped up about the new Harry Potter book that arrived in Singapore today, apparently at 7:01am. However, due to us having an oral presentation workshop in school, few of my friends were griping on how they couldn't start reading the book, and moaning when they saw others with the new book at hand, reading it during the breaks during the OP workshop. This made me ponder about my utter indifference to the book. Why do I feel this way? Is it because of the fact that I kind of disliked the angst turn in the series starting from book 4/5 (I don't like angst by the way, I think its quite depressing. Life is already stressful. Why add more stress to it by reading these kind of books?) Or maybe due that I don't want Ron and Hermione to get together (those two quarrel like nobody's business. How do you have a lasting relationship like that?) Or that deaths are multiplying like how insects breed? Perhaps in my household with so many people, one book passed around will take ages to reach me, and there's not really a point in buying another book, therefore I feel nothing.
I have no idea. However, if I recall correctly, even when the first book was out years ago, I was not as big a fan of it as my elder sister, and now, even she does not anticipate the book.
DESPITE ALL OF THIS
I think its utterly UTTERLY horrible how people give spoilers. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! Even if I read the book months from now, don't tell me anything from now till then!
THIS IS THE REASON WHY EVEN JADE IS BUYING THIS BOOK WHEN ITS JUST RELEASED.
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS RUINED WHEN PEOPLE AROUND JUST TELL THE ENTIRE STORY WHEN YOU JUST WANT TO FIND IT OUT YOURSELF. IN YOUR OWN TIME.
Note: This means. Don't tell me anything. Not even a single nitty-gritty detail about it. Don't spoil the book for me.
Now on to happier stuff.
Western Dance to me now means a whole new world of things. Things that I've never known before. Reg and Jer owes me Ice-cream!! During CCA now, I get to know so much more things. Information that I used to be oblivious too. Through this process, I am so thankful for the support of my friends, specially Tis and Eesha. Even though I can't really express how grateful I am for them, at least I hope that they know. IPerform, and IP concert is coming up. Rushing through choreography, lack of practices and people not coming for them, I really really hope that everything will turn out fantabulous. Even if it means slogging doubly hard so that it'll reach a high standard. Because of this performance, I learned how to mix music! For which, I am so proud of myself, since I'm quite a 'noob' at IT stuff. But i did it through trial and error, for which I want to jump around with glee except its quite late and my parents are already asleep.
IPerform is coming, and I do hope that we are able to put up a good show. Cheese = good?
I am quite disgusted with people writing too mushy stuff on their blogs. Both genders alike. Its just... irks me a bit, for showing how you feel about someone is supposed to be intimate right? Not to moan/gush/apologize/etc. to the public. I mean, can't you do it to his/her face? Or maybe I'm just cynical.
My mum's finally back from Austrailia! My fridge has finally woken from its previous slumber for its filled with goodies of all sorts from my mum and my aunt, who just recently came back from the US. However, its quite sad that I can't open everything at once, but to stare at the wonderful packaging of snacks, and keep wondering whats inside.
People are all commenting about Common Tests so I shan't. Its such a depressing thing to write about tests, and results, and exams and the list goes on and on. I have decided that grinding one's teeth or whooping with joy are insensitive actions.
Elections are coming up and being anxious is an understatement. Therefore I shall ignore this topic to focus on happier stuff like:
The ARCTIC EIGHT ice cream that Reg, Shining and I shared in Cine. Oh. What a wonderful trip. With 8 different flavours in a huge bowl with mountains of topping. Isn't it simply lovely?
I'm feeling a bit tired ad confused, so I decided to do something mind numbing. Hence, I'm here writing.
As June holidays rolled past, and Common Tests are over, Enrichment week started. Its supposed to be fun, and it is, yesterday going to Fuji Ice Palace to skate, and with the help of my friends and the teacher, I learned how to skate backwards and turn. Finally watched Transformers, and I think the show was quite cool, except that I don't really like the guy in the show. Oh well. And then, lauren and I decided that we are weird people. Haha. Finished a whole box of popcorn like 5 mins into the show.
However, because of the news from Zhirong, which led to my mood now. I do hope that he's coping well, although I know he will be. I hope his father will rest in peace.

For those who are not directly involved in my life currently, I have chopped off my hair just before the start of the term. Mer and Lou didn't even recognize me! It was really funny since I was just sitting beside them. Haha!
