I've been drafting blog entries from office during my lunch breaks for sometime now; only to edit them once home having finally getting Internet access. It's seriously really miserable not having able to access the web at work. I feel lost without it during work. Anyway, it seems my arrangement for revamping the blog may as well be delayed again. My laziness seems to have taken over me again. It's like work, work and work all the time. I can't even feel my half day off last Friday. That's why I can't wait for my vacation next month. Ah! 4 more weeks to Phuket! Woohoo! Hope everything will be fine. I really need this vacation. My last real vacation was in 2001, for Merlin's sake! Rather than staying stuck in Singapore, I need to get out. The only country I get to go out to most of the time is our neighbouring country, Malaysia that I got sick of it. I've already planned on what to bring and such; only one pair of sandals! Haha! I can't afford to be a fashion freak if we're planning to do a lot of walking, now do we? I just hope I won't shop a lot. I don't usually buy much whenever I'm on vacation. Usually only souvenirs, since my main purpose for vacations is just for sight-seeing. So I really hope I'll stick like that for this one too. But one may never know. The only thing I'm worried now is for getting Halal food. *frowns*

Anyway, below are a few picspam I took after and during work with my camera phone. It's been a while now since I did some picspamming on my blog. Ha! They're just some stuff I never did get to post up during my last entry.


Yeah... Taken in a taxi on my way home last Friday. Seems the Christmas decorations are already up on the roads. Can't wait to see the finished place once the season is near.


This is actually taken from just outside my house. A soothing sunset aglazing the church beside my block.


Yeah. My desk. Haha! Don't know why, but I have this fetish of taking snaps of my office desk. And oh yeah! I've been addicted to the cafeteria's Ice Lemon Tea ever since I first tried it.


Pencil holder bought from IKEA. *guffaws* Yeah, I'm a Post-It notes freak. Those are just two of them, I have many more in the drawer.


This statue is one national celebrity to all cab drivers in Singapore. He always has his hand up hailing a taxi, but never aboard them. And he's got a spirit for all occassions, be it Deepavali, Chinese New Year and now, Christmas. Always dressed up to the season. Yeah, this bloody thing is placed near my office. Kinda scary when I look at him since he always remind me of the movie, 'I Am Legend'.
*sighs* I don't know when I'll get to clear my leave balance. Two days are already booked for my vacation next month, but the rest, I haven't even plan on it yet. I don't know whether to carry them forward or not. Hmmm.. During my previous company, I actually took so many leaves that I ended up taking unpaid leaves all the time, and now in my new workplace, it's the opposite whereby I have to cringe my brain now planning on how to clear my leaves. I have 16 days of annual leave per year here, but then again, it's not that much difference from the 14 days I had in my previous company. Oh well, perhaps the reason I took less this time is that the company here is a 5-day work, as opposed to my previous workplace where I have to come to work on Saturdays too.

Oh! Before I forget, if you guys are up for a good laugh, or some random Harry Potter game, try these ones below. The spoof on the Harry Potter series is by far the most hilarious. I'm saying that is because it's not always I laughed till I tear up.

• Potion Game - Draco Malfoy
• Portkey Snape - Severus Snape
• Shrieking Shag - POA spoof
• 2005's Whee Movie- GOF spoof
• The Badly Hallows - DH spoof

All these Flash animations makes me want to do some myself. So far, I only did 3 - which are of course not that good. If you guys never seen them, I've listed them below:

• Half-Splinched Eyebrow - Ron Weasley
• Morning At The Stoppable's - Ron from Kim Possible
• Prefect Patrol - Ron/Hermione

Well anyway, I can't wait to get my season one Hannah Montana DVD box set. *cackles* Yeah, I pre-ordered it on EBay. It's releasing today, November 18th. Should be getting it by next week, I hope. Now I'm only waiting for Kim Possible's to release. *grins*

I've been lazing around ever since I got back from my half day off last Friday. Yeah, meaning I didn't work on any of my fanlistings in the past few days. Shocker, that! I just felt I needed a break for myself, rather than using the 24 hours of my individual weekends on the computer. I lounged myself in the living room playing on my PS3, watching dvds and cable. Either those or went out shopping at Tampines' Giant Megamart. Even then, I didn't feel my weekends. Only just this morning, I told my calendar, "Please tell me it's Saturday!" Pathetic!

The current fanlisting I'd said I was working on has to be stall on for a while now. It just seems that I kept changing the layout for it since whatever I'd come out with was unsatisfactory. And thanks to Clover, I just found out that some of the layouts for my R/Hr fanlisting including others have the navigation bar dislocated in Mozilla Firefox. *groans* Her information instigated me into trying my other fanlistings on other browsers like Netscape and all. And gah! I found out that whatever websites I'd created using that CSS navigation menu were affected. This is why I hate the web for giving way to so many different kinds of browsers. I mean, isn't it better if there's only one standard browser so that everyone can see the same output? So far, all the websites I'd created were only tested on Internet Explorer since I'm very loyal and satisfied with it. I'd tried to put the code display:block; on the stylesheet, and fortunately it showed on the other browsers. Only thing is that it doesn't show correctly as how it's supposed to be. *sighs* I guess I'll only continue work on it this weekend. This whole week is just for relaxing.

Anyway, woohoo! Another new HBP trailer! I was squealing the first time I saw it last Saturday. Wow! Warner Brothers sure know how to agonize the fans. I mean, c'mon! It would have been a mere 4 days from now if they hadn't agreed on delaying the bloody movie. Just this Friday, people! Argh! And now, we still need to wait for 8+ more months. I mean, man! That's low! Compare 4 days to 240 days. That's a honker! I may have died and rotting by then. Ooh! Here I go with my release date tirade.

Anyhow, am I like the one who's in love with the movie's soundtrack? I especially love the music from the time where Dumbledore and Harry were in front of the cave. The music kept me imagining Ron being miserable about Hermione's condition at the Shell Cottage. *giggles* And talking about the cave. We get a glimpse of the Inferis. They're... oh well. I think it's too early to comment on them since we only get a backward glance. Well, Rupert as Ron of course was adorable with his love potion act; staring at the window with a goofy face. How cute! And Hermione... aww! She's crying. Definitely because of Ron/Lavender. I felt for the girl. Poor pretty thing. And oh! I love that Gryffindor shirt she's adorning. I want one! And her hair! Ah! Like everyone's gushing, finally we get to see a bushy-haired Hermione Granger. All due to the fumes from the potions around the room. *snickers* As for Harry/Ginny, I'm really happy that we finally get to see more footage of them. Even the new still is about them. I don't ship them, but I do support them. And oh! How can I forget Quidditch Ron! Finally we get to see a video clip of him on Quidditch! Yay! And man! I couldn't help cackling at my perverted mind when I saw his broomstick protruding out like that from his front. HAAHAA!! He really is sexy! I mean, gah! Have you guys seen his 'Cherrybomb' poster?

Seriously, I wonder how WB is going to keep up with the HBP promotion until July next year. If they keep this up, they'll have nothing new to give us once the date reaches near. I heard from David Heyman that they didn't join the complete parts of the film to avoid the movie from leaking. But oh anyway, I'm still going to enjoy the movie in theaters whether I get a first hold of the movie or not. My Mum already got 4 more free movie passes for Golden Village validating till September 2009! That's the 5th time she got those for awards. I mean, wow! Her school seriously doesn't know how to award old-age employees. I mean, they're not actually awarding the staff, but awarding their staffs' children! I mean, c'mon! They don't expect a 56 year old woman getting excited for getting free movie passes for employee awards, now do they? *shakes head* Talk about educating people...

Well moving on, I was flipping through my old sketchbook yesterday, and found that there were a couple of rough, ugly sketches I didn't post up onto my DeviantART account. I edited some of them last night, especially the Kim and Ron one, since I drew Ron Stoppable I think 3 months ago. So I completed the drawing by sketching the whole Kim yesterday; dragging him by the shirt. That was the initial idea I had for that sketch. Yeah. Most of them are of Ron/Hermione stuff, whilst the other is the 2006 Bollywood, 'Dhoom:2' fanart; which I was most surprised that it was yet to be uploaded on my account. Anyway, click on the thumbnails below to see the larger version. Remember to click on the drawing again once you're at DeviantART to see the full view; since most of the time it gives you the resized, smaller version at first. I might digitise some of them up someday, but definitely now now. I already have a handful of stuff right now.



By the way, the grapevine on Bollywood which is going around right now is that Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai is getting together again for the 3rd time in my favourite director's next flick, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I was jumping with joy when I first read it. I mean, Aishwarya really is Sanjay's lucky charm. Whatever movie she worked with him goes on to be a big hit. So I sure do hope this is not a rumour. The first time I read was that it's a love triangle between Hrithik, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Now the talk is that Aishwarya's secretary confirmed Ash has had several meetings with the director for the film. Not that I don't like Deepika, I mean, she's gorgeous and all. But I really can't see any other actress with Hrithik except Ash. And if Ranbir is seriously also in the film, it'll be a blast. I really like to see him with Aishwarya, albeit the age difference. To think he was her assistant director in 'Aa Ab Laut Chalen' back in the year 1998 already gave me the butterflies. But then again, Ranbir already confirmed in his recent interview that he wasn't approach. Well, if the plot really is a love triangle, I'd choose Arjun Rampal as the 2nd guy. That'd be great. To see my two favourite heroes alongside my favourite heroine. Issh!! Well, here's hoping hard that all these are not some pointless speculations.

These few days have been really stagnant. What with my apartment block under upgrading works. They even messed up the wirings with my internet connection at one point. Argh! Only just yesterday, they closed our water supply from morning to 5 in the evening. Lucky thing both Mum and I were working. I don't think I can live a day without water.

Anyway, yup. Onto my fanlisting update, I did manage to finish my R/Hr Fanarts fanlisting on Sunday. Good thing I did. I spent the whole Saturday distracting myself with other things, just because I couldn't think of a layout for it. In the end, I resigned to what it is now. Click on the screenshot below to visit it. I used the fanart I found at DeviantART, drawn by Hito. Fortunately, she allows people to use her arts for layouts and stuff with the obvious condition that we credit her back. And I did just that.


Must say though, I'm pretty satisfied with how the website looks like. Not over the top, but yet pretty nice looking. Hihi! So please, do join in if you enjoy making or just looking through Ron/Hermione fanarts. It can be artworks like drawings, blends, manips or anything graphic. I'm just awaiting for the listing approval from TFL. They can be very slow. In fact, I think I need to ask them about my Ron/Cormac approval. I applied for my Ranbir and Ron/Lavender listings around the same time and they were already approved short after, but unfortunately not my Ron/Cormac fanlisting. *frowns* But gah, I'm just being peachy. It was only 3 weeks ago I'd put up that website. So, I guess I just need to be patient for one more week.

As for now, I'm already starting work on my next fanlisting. Only the main page has been worked out; leaving the rest quite easy. Since once I'm done with the layout, the rest is just filling in the blanks. Hopefully I'm done with this one before the weekend, since I'm planning to work on two other on Saturday and Sunday. Besides, I'm taking a half day off this Friday. *grins* Once these 3 are complete, only then I can start planning on the blog's revamp.

Ah! There I go, going on and on about my websites. Gah! Moving on, I've seen the new HBP pictures from all those sticker books and stuff. Now again, I must begin with my tirade on how come there's not much R/Hr shots. Argh! Honestly, at least a jealous shot of Hermione Granger; since they are so full on with the whole Lavender/Ron thing. Although I wonder what McGonagall is looking at in this new picture of her. I mean, is that a table, or... is that Dumbledore's coffin? Hehe! I guess WB won't be that forward now are they? I've always loved Professor McGonagall amongst all the Hogwarts teachers. There's something very motherly or grand-motherly about her, which makes her so lovable. And Dame Maggie Smith is just perfect for the role. She's one of those characters whom I can just easily picturise whilst reading the books or fanfictions.

I really wish these people can just give me an Internet connection in the office. It's so unfair. I've been resigning to surfing the web through my mobile phone. How pathetic is that?! I just hope my mobile bill won't just shot up this month. *groans* The nuisances of being an anxious Harry Potter fan... Oh! I almost forgot, there's a new trailer of Aishwarya's upcoming Hollywood movie, 'Pink Panther 2'. Finally, we get to see glimpses of her in the trailers. Can't wait!

By the way, talking about Ash, I was just watching Aishwarya's 'Sarkar Raj' on VCD a few days ago, and shook my head in amusement knowing very well that the story reflects the real India. I mean not that I'm condemning them, because I absolutely love their movies. But man! How can they expect their country to perk up if the villagers just start riots like that? Just because some rich people want to do some business in their place, they think that they're trying to steal their land and start up riots. And they are still wondering why their country hasn't progress. Look at China, the rurals there suffered too initially, and now look at their country. They're doing better. *shakes head* Sometimes, I feel a bit racist too, but I guess it's because of their attitude that conjures up such prejudices.

Anyhow, my uncle was just transferred to the hospital earlier this week. Word has it, it seems he's starting to how the signs of a person dying. Poor thing. I've yet to visit him, because man! I'm tired and I hate visiting. It's like you sit here, stand there... walk here, walk there and wait till your Mum say, "Let's go home". It's like a pointless trip visiting someone you're not close to. Although my Mum did promise herself to visit that ailing brother of hers. But one thing's for sure, she won't succeed in dragging me along. She can go with her sister. But thinking back, it's been more than two years since I last saw him. What with the fact that I refused visiting during the Eid. *snorts* But who cares. I don't really like him... Gah! Look at me speaking! Merlin forbids! I'm turning into a monstrous fiend! Oh well, we'll see. The good side of me might as well take over evil me and yank me along.

Gah! I've been spraining my neck lying on the bed all this week working on my laptop once home from work. And oh! Yeah, I managed to complete my fanlisting collective last Wednesday. Click on the screenshot below to visit it. Ha! Talk about devotion. *sniggers* Well I could have finished earlier than that if there wasn't this new error found on my script. Finally I figured the thing out and put the site up on the 5th. Thank Merlin it's done now, now I'm just waiting for more collective affiliates.


Subsequently, I'm going to start work on my next fanlisting first - a fanlisting for Ron/Hermione Fanarts. I'd already applied for the listing at TFL, although I haven't start a thing on the website as of yet. Hopefully I will start work on it and be done with it by tomorrow. I'm actually still awaiting two permissions from two girls before applying for the other two fanlisting subjects I have in mind. But until now, I still haven't heard from them. Oh well, we'll see...

Anyway, earlier this evening, both Mum and I went off to visit my cousin's place. Only thing, once we get there, no one was at home; that was considering her place was on the other side of Singapore which took us 45 minutes to reach. The fault is mine though; I'd just assume they'd be home. Her 22nd birthday was last Thursday, and I've yet to give her my birthday gift. I did wished her by SMS though, and only got to know that her niece just got born on that very same day, making it a much more special day for her. *smiles* Good for her. And ooh! Yeah, below's her birthday present, wrapped by myself. *chortles* I couldn't help snapping a picture of it since this is the very first time I used a strand of ribbon to go with the wrapping; usually I'll only wrap gifts with wrapping paper and that's it. I guess I should start doing the same thing for future gifts. Only problem is that I'll need to hunt for more variety of ribbons. *snorts*


Well, I really hope she likes the gift. I spent 60 bucks of my own money for that Escada perfume together with those shockingly expensive wraps I got from this gift store I went to yesterday. Only now, I don't know when I'll get to see my cousin next in order to give her late birthday present. I think I'd be off to my Phuket vacation by then. *sniggers*

Yeah, my Mum and I went shopping yesterday in the evening. I got these private sales 40% discount coupons for Giordano through email and used it to buy some outfits from the store. I was almost expecting the counter girl shaking her head at me saying that those colour printed coupons were bogus. Thank shit they didn't. In fact, all the customers by my side were showing the same printed coupons at the counters; some black and white, whilst some coloured. Although I must comment on the staff working there. It's understandable why there're a vast number of foreign workers working in Singapore, but having them not fluent in English can be really annoying. One of the salesgirls there came up to me whilst I was holding this black outfit I was going to purchase (like any other annoying salesgirls would do), and I told her that I still wanted to look around. And she kept smiling at me and nodding, but took the blouse from me and went away. So I shrugged it off thinking they'll keep it somewhere for me before I checked out. So after completing my round at the store, I went back to the same girl and asked for the blouse. She laughed aloud and told me in her broken English that she thought I didn't want it. Running back to me with the shirt, she returned it to me, apologising. Yes, I did smile and forgive, but man! That was really uncalled for!

By the way, I saw the new trailer for Emma Watsons' forthcoming 3D animation movie, 'The Tale of Despereaux'. Perhaps it's just me, but I felt that her voice didn't really go well with how the makers designed the look of the princess. The same thought came to me when I first saw the earlier trailer. But I'm going to let that go, since they are just trailers. Perhaps her voice will be in sync with the character when I finally get to watch the movie itself in December.

Bemusing how whenever my colleagues saw either my R/E wallpapers or screensaver, they thought that these two people are really together. So much for the pure chemistry between these two young adults. *sighs* Honestly, if only they really are together. Why can't these dunderheads just hook up, for Merlin's sake!

Anyway, I've been busy with my collectives the whole weekends. It gets really mind-numbing having to add in each and every one of my joined fanlistings to the database. Furthermore, I notice that even having updated my listings just 2 weeks ago, some of the sites had move. Ugh! Why do these people keep changing hosts? I mean, once every each month?! How irritating is that! Some even changed host twice in a month. I mean, gah! Are they really such refugees? Anyway, I'm about to finish with my last batch of listings. The collective should be done by this weekend... hopefully.

I took breaks in between by surfing for R/Hr fanfictions at FF.Net. Must say though that I'm catching up with the most recent updated oneshots. Now that's a record for me. Haha! I missed reading those lovely fanfictions. And good for me, whatever sad stories I'd encounter were those where Hermione died and Ron being left bereft. I love those sorts. It's what I call my 'sadistic pleasure'. *sniggers* Not that I dislike happy endings, but imagining Ron being left behind and heartbroken only brings out his deep and true feelings for Hermione. Happy endings are just lah dee lah! But of course, like I've said before, I hate sad endings where it's the other way round; Ron died and Hermione being left heartbroken. Read 'hate'. I find those plots infuriating. Usually, whenever I come across those, I'd just stop reading them. That's why my favourite chapter of the final HP book was 'Malfoy Manor'. Till date, I still can't believe that J.K. Rowling actually wrote such an intense scene. It made me admire her more as an author. I even wrote to her about my appreciation. I thought I could only see a bellowing and crying Ron in fanfictions.

Well anyhow, I've been thinking before I even start on revamping the main site for Crystalled Roses (after I'm done with the collective), I may want to create 2-3 more small fanlistings I have in mind right now first. Actually, in total I already have 6 subjects in mind, but I better book the first 3 on TFL before anyone does. *snickers* I'm in a fanlisting collective mode right now. Sure, I'm a late bloomer in this collective business, but I'm getting to it. Hell, I just realised that I'd created 5 fanlisting websites in October itself. *guffaws* Talk about addiction! Can't believe that I'm having trouble sleeping nowadays because of all the plans that's floating in my mind with the websites. Especially the revamping work for this blog. There'll definitely be a lot of broken links on most of my old entries once that's done. I'm also thinking of putting this main site on hiatus when the time comes. It's necessary.

By the way, surfing on YouTube was also one of the things I did during my breaks yesterday, and I landed on these Jodhaa Akbar's videos. I was laughing my heart out with the recent MTV's spoof on the movie - 'Jadoo Ek Bar'. *chortles* They re-title it; translating into 'Magic, once more' - a definite pun to Hrithik Roshan's previous film, 'Koi Mil Gaya'. Some were just those classic jokes but still funny. I think I should add these to my Ash/Hrithik/Arjun website on the next update. This Hrithik/Ash movie has already won 2 awards for best film in Russia and Brazil. Hopefully they'll get more, and the director will again have his film a 2nd time nomination at the Oscars. I mean, his first film, 'Lagaan' did won a nomination at the prestigious award ceremony. So if they really did it this time, I'd be really proud since the movie stars my favourite Bollywood duo. *smiles* Other than that, I saw this fanvideo of the movie using the song 'Bol Na Halke Halke'. It was just brilliant. I'm thinking of downloading it and either transfer it to my television's harddisk or my cellphone.

On a related note, I just saw the poster of Aishwarya Rai's upcoming Hollywood flick, 'Pink Panther 2'; where Steve Martin will be reprising his role as Inspector Clouseau. Can't wait. Bloody movie's Singapore release date however is March 19th, whereas it hits theaters on February 9 in US. Prejudice, I tell you!


Oh! And yeah, I just found out that Disney is releasing the season one dvd box set of Hannah Montana. Woohoo! Finally, Disney has come to their senses. I guess after all the complains and frets they got from fans, they'd bucker up from those pathetic dvds with random episodes to a full blow-out season by season box sets. Good! I remember that they'd done that for Kim Possible too (which is releasing end of year). Good, very good. It's said that S1 of Hannah Montana will be released on November 18th in US, although unfortunately not available internationally. Tanks, I tell you. But fret not, there's always the good EBay to succumb to. *cackles* I'll surely purchase them once they are available and within reach on EBay. At the same time too, I can't wait for the new season 3 to premiere on Disney Asia Channel. Last heard, Jake Ryan will come back. Yay! Yeah, I ship Jake/Miley. Heehee! Of course her sidekicks Lilly and Oliver are just meant to be, but Miley goes with Jake.

Yay! Happy 35th birthday, Ash! May you have a long joyous life, and always stay beautiful with age. I wonder if her friends from the film industry wished her; like Hrithik Roshan for example. *giggles* I read somewhere that these people do actually have the habit of sending greetings through SMSs. And well yeah, you may notice I still like to refer to her as 'Aishwarya Rai' and not by her current full name, 'Aishwarya Rai Bachchan'. As happy as she is being married to the Bachchans, I personally feel it doesn't do her pretty name justice. But oh well, one just have to admire her dedication to her family and devotion as a wife and daughter-in-law. Of course, honestly speaking I wish she'd marry someone better. Abhishek and her make such an odd couple.

By the way, I'm still actually working on my collective. I knocked myself out for having to transfer all my joined fanlistings and hatelistings to the database one by one. I mean I just re-organised them some weeks ago, and now I have to do all over again. Argh! And out of a sudden my little second cousins came knocking on the door, having the main purpose of watching my 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' dvd at my house. *headdesk* My goodness! When will I ever get to finish my stuff if all these unwanted distractions come pouring in? And there is no way I can work on my laptop in the house with them around. They'll surely harass me with it. And people wonder why I hate kids... Now that they're gone, I continued on my collective. Will do again once I'm done with today's entry. I'm already planning to work on revamping the main site once the collective is done.

Anyway, I got shock still when I read the article of how Harry Potter is now no longer the highest grosser ever. I mean, man! That was some blow. And now the leading movie is 'Mamma Mia'. I don't know about others, but I thought that movie was crap. I do hope at the very least that the final series of Potter will put it back to its rightful place in the history. Having a non-epic movie like 'Mamma Mia' taking the first slot is just not right.

Aah! Finally we're in the November month... *shakes head* I still fuckin' hate WB for delaying the 6th movie. Hate, I tell you! H-A-T-E, HATE!!!

Yeah! Happy Halloween, everyone! Put on your Harry Potter costumes and let's make some dark magic! Too bad I didn't purchase any pumpkins. I'd always wanted to try doing the messy task of carving a pumpkin. It'd always intrigued me. *chortles* It must be fun. Some of my friends I know are on a horror movie marathon. So much for the Halloween spirit. And you know me, I'm not one for horror movies. But those Disney types are okay for me. *sniggers* I mean, they are more entertaining rather than horrifying. Only this morning, I started my horrifying day of getting stuck in the traffic. Two bloody cars which met with an accident lost me 15 minutes, and I ended up getting late for work. Curses! And the stupid drivers still had the guts to stand out of their cars and gave this arrogant pose amidst the many moving vehicles. Argh! Infuriating, I tell you! Luckily, once we passed those suckers, the traffic began to run off very smoothly.

Anyway, it seems we have two new pictures of our two supported Harry Potter ships - Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny. Sweet! Although I notice that Hermione is in the same outfit as she was in that Gryffindor common room picture, but not Ron. What's wrong? Somebody didn't do her laundry? But in this new one, they are in one of those many Hogwarts corridors, with other students. Definitely during the battle in the school. I must say though, it always amused me how Rupert and Emma are so coordinated with each other whenever they're close with each other. Just look at the way they stand. *laughs* They so influenced each other. And ooh! McGonagall! I love that old woman. You know, I've always wondered whether if she's a married woman or not. I mean, there still isn't any proven fact that she's this old spinster, now is there? Nothing much about the families of these Hogwarts teachers is talked about, other than Severus Snape's and Albus Dumbledore's. Heck! Even one of the main protagonists, Hermione Granger's family isn't focused on much.

I really wish J.K. Rowling will one day delve into Hermione's ancestry in her future interviews. I find it rather unfair that Jo doesn't do that with the girl in the books. The only things we know of her parents are that they are a pair of dentists. I mean, not that I'm complaining with Hermione always being at Ron's house before Harry gets there all the time, but doesn't she love her parents? Is she really that selfish a girl to abandon her family just because she feels much more connected with the magical world? She spent more time in Hogwarts than she spent time with them. All we always get about her parents are just glimpses. Like the way she just informed Harry that she altered their minds to think of moving to Australia, the way she said she's going for a holiday with her parents to ski on ice mountains and etc. Somehow, the vibes I get from this girl is that she does not love her parents as much as I thought. I mean, some may disagree on that; what with the way she tried to save them from hiding them, but I don't know... Somehow that fact doesn't go down well with me. I'm pretty sure there must be some negative thing about Hermione where her relationship with her maternal family is concern that we don't know about.

Well enough talk about Hermione, I saw Rupert's video interview at the golf course he went to last month. Merlin! He looks smokin' hot! Gosh! With that windswept red hair of his. *sighs* He really is the epitome of a redheaded perfection. Just look at him. Oh! If only... But anyhow, coming onto those silly random questions the interviewer asked him, heehee! So cute! And poor thing about his eyes. I wonder during what age did that incident happened. And which one of his sisters scratched it? Georgina, Samantha or Charlotte? Although I must point out that I find it sweet that whilst reminiscing about the unpleasant episode, he didn't give even the slightest annoyance about his sister. I mean, how deep is he? *shakes head in admiration* And of course, the last question was the ultimate - "Does he have a secret crush?" Why was he faltering answering that question? Heehee! Sure he must have one. I mean, he's not a human being if he doesn't. That's the difference between him and Dan. Whereas Daniel is much more open about his life, Rupert unfortunately and fortunately isn't. I still can't take the images out of my mind the time Daniel explained how he lost his virginity. I mean, ugh! Images.. images... And that too with a girl someone my age; 4 years older than him! All these kept me thinking whether or not Rupert is a saint wherever his virginity is concern. I mean, western men have this unkempt ego about losing them at a young age. It's a fact. Especially with all those articles about spotting him in bars and all. It's a dreaded possibility. Of course, I'm not complaining if he did the deed with Emma. I mean, why would I? I'd be celebrating the day he announces that. *cackles* Aah! I'm sinful woman! Gah! Why am I saying that I want to see two people doing things before marriage? *shakes head* Issh! Forgive me, oh Al Mighty!

Oh well, tomorrow's my Aishwarya Rai's birthday! Hee! After all these years, I still get super excited whenever it's her birthday. *grins*
