Harry Potter....(tick)

(Disclaimer: spoiler in this post....don't read this if you're not finished with the book yet!)


After about 8 years since I bought my first copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 10 hours since I picked up the 7th book, I am done. My flatmates and the boyfriend have been completely ignored once I got home. Satisfied, nauseated (from too much reading), I am glad how the story is somewhat as I predicted and yet not.

Why did the end seem a tad too happy for me? Why did Harry live happily ever after? Maybe, afterall, it is a children's book, where things are normally given its bright sunny side (although JK Rowling managed to put in the B!t#h word inside).















The queue outside borders singapore at 7:15 AM today...I had to wait an hour before getting my copy and afterwards had to endure a driving test before I can go home and enjoy my book.

Now I can officially drive a car in Singapore....such a day of accomplishment! All I need to do was ensure my answers are the most conservative of the choices, even though I keep telling myself how stupid they are :-)

Next goal: motorcycle license...

Enrolled at a driving school...


I’m in a good mood today, and finally got my lazy self online to register at Singapore Safety Driving Center. Cross my fingers that I find good available lesson timings for the motorcycle courses – as of now it looks like the soonest I can take my basic theory test (to convert my Indonesian car license) is in July!

I wonder how many people is actually learning to drive in this country….

See more progress on: learn to ride a motorcycle

oh those sales tips they give out works wonders

I had another one of the "huh? excuse me?" moment last Friday after work. Waiting for my dinner appointment I decided to go browsing around clothes sales (yeah, typical woman, what do you expect?). I was served by a very nice, very keen lady who obviously did not have English as a first language that kept suggesting me something after every second piece I even dared to glimpse at. Being a "lone shopper" I politely rejected every single one of them which I guess frustrated her somewhat.

After she suggested yet another blue top by saying "This one, cutting no good, but color very classic. You try." I decided to end her misery by getting out of there.
