Conspiracy!

"Let me tell you how the story ends...."

Now Playing : "Dance of the Hours" - Ponchielli

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!!

With reference to the previous blog post, I found out today from Jules that it's not just us students who are dying (heh, pun!) to know how the Harry Potter story ends, but apparently, one of our lecturers this morning let slip the ending of the HP saga!

Fate!

Good thing I had stayed home from going to class (had a major headache) or else I would have been totally and utterly pissed at finding out how it ends before finishing the book!

And yesyesyes, I know I've been over-blogging Harry Potter related posts. So sue me!

Drove off to McDonald's for breakfast. Waved at all the poor people still lining up with an evil grin.*Mwuahahah!* Maybe should faster read the last page and then wind down the window and scream out who dies!

Better not...after my car kena stone.

Brought along bag of Harry Potter books to McDonald's. Not trying to show off lah!! Just don't want people tengok inside my car and then steal them. Made a little girl excited. :P

8:30AM

See my beautiful new book? Got the children's version but since I take off the paper sleeve each time and all the words in the book are the same anyway, it doesn't matter lah! Also got a free poster along with the book...but cacat one. Why should I put up a poster of the book when I can just stare at my book? I wanna look at my book, not look at a picture of the book! Cacat!

Must blog!! Must blog!!

I got my Harry Potter book!!!!!

Ooops...I said that before hor!

Cacat poster. My feet nice hor? :P

So now dear friends, I'm gonna go read the book! Screw the homework I haven't done yet!!

Hypermarkets shoving wands up bookstores' *bleep!*

Excerpt from www.thestar.com.my

Now Playing : "You and Me Song" - The Wannadies

That complicates things, since I was going to go to MPH 1Utama tomorrow morning to buy my own copy of JK Rowling's final installment; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (did anyone notice how the article got the name of the book wrong? Some reporting!). 

Earlier today, I did hear about these hypermarkets selling the highly anticipated books at these (cut-throat) prices but having to show up before 7am and face the highly possible masses turned me off and I would rather shell out RM109.90 to avoid all this. 

But now, it seems that I have no choice.

If I do decide to join the hordes of people during the ungodly hours of the morning to get my book, wish me luck that I don't get trampled on or happen to hear some over-enthusiastic and impatient fan flip through the book to read the end of the book first.

Will definitely post pics.
