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.
