Once again it's been a while since I last posted. Right now I'm in Batam, an Indonesian island near Singapore. I took a flight from KL to Singapore and then an hour long ferry to Batam centre. As we were already tired, my dad, sister and I just chilled in the sports lounge for a while and played a few games of darts. After that we went to the Nagoya mall and spent hours walking around and shopping.
Today is our only full day on this island and we're spending it at the watermark possibly jet skiing, kayaking, banana boating (?) and driving some all terrain vehicles!

The End Of Summer
As of now, there are 11 days, 20 hours and 28 minutes before school resumes.
Summer is going by pretty fast.
Right now I'm experiencing a mix of emotions. I'm happy because I get to see all of my friends again. I'm excited for the new friendships I will make and for what the new school year will bring. I'm sad because its the end of yet another summer, with only one more summer before I officially graduate high school. I'm nervous because I'm about to start the IB and I've heard of the horrors from my older friends in school.
I haven't finished any of my homework yet. I start them, but then get bored so I switch to a more interesting thing to do. But I only have fewer than 11 days to do it because I'm going to Batam soon.
For those who do not know, Batam is a small island of Indonesia near Singapore. We're taking a flight to Singapore, then a one hour and 10 minute ferry to Batam. Its only for a weekend because my dad is loaded with meetings and work so I'm thankful that he can take this weekend and a day to go to Batam with us.

Little less about Harry Potter, little more about me.
Hey it's been a while. I've just been so busy nowadays that I often forget to post. But here I am now!
Whats going on in my life:
1. Tv Shows: I've stopped watching House M.D. because I got bored. It was always the same: sick person, wrong initial diagnosis, eureka moment, people survive. I moved on to Vampire Diaries and finished the whole series, waiting for the next one. And now I'm on One Tree Hill which is pretty cool. My favourite character is Lukas Scott played by Chad Michael Murray, but I hear he leaves the show after season six and thats pretty disappointing.
2. Studies: I'm studying in the mornings everyday which includes all of my summer homework and SAT practice. My essays were terrible in the beginning but they are improving and I'm quite proud of that.
3. Trips: I've been to Singapore TWICE. Two consecutive weekends, the second trip was an emergency (everything is okay). I got the chance to do some proper biking at East Coast Park. I wanted to go wakeboarding but I fell sick so I didn't get the chance to go. :( The second trip was also the reason why I had to cancel my first guitar lesson. So I have to wait another week to finally be able to learn the guitar. I do believe I'm improving. Strumming is better and I'm learning from my mistakes.

Day 3: Your least favourite female character
Probably Pansy Parkinson (played by Scarlett Byrne) Her character annoyed me so much because it always reminded me of the people. I constantly refer to them as 'the people' (in my head of course). Them? The people who always laugh at you and mock you and are cruel and mean. You can't really remember who is part of the crowd that mocks you and who isn't but Pansy was always a background character that you don't really pay attention to but because you hear what they said, you know what the public image of the character is.
Apologies again for the late post, I've been kind of busy lately, so I shall keep posting!

Day 2: Your favourite female character
My favourite female character is Helena Bonham Carter FORSUREE. Bellatrix Lestrange is probably my most favourite female character of all time. She knows what she wants, she goes and gets it. Helena Bonham Carter played her character so well that I was waiting for her to come up on screen. I heard somewhere though that Emma Watson helped her get the characterisation straight so some credit goes to her but ultimately it was HBC who did it on screen :)

Day 1: Favourite Harry Potter Book & Movie all the time
Ahh. This one is quite hard, I don't really have a favourite Harry Potter Book and Movie. I have a favourite book, and a favourite movie but they are not the same.
Favourite Harry Potter Book: Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire
Favourite Harry Potter Movie: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
I don't know why but these two are the two that I've always liked. Probably because of the plot and the way J.K. Rowling/ Director portrayed it.

Diversion from the 30 day Harry Potter Post
1. If you went to Hogwarts which house would you be sorted in?
Ahh this is difficult. I can't quite choose.
Gryffindor because its what values bravery and loyalty and I value those too. Slytherin because well, Tom Felton was playing Draco Malfoy and he was in Slytherin but I've always admired their cunning. Ravenclaw for their brains and cleverness. And Hufflepuff for taking in everyone they got.
2. Have you ever been to the HP midnight release?No, sadly no. My obsession began only after all the books were released.
3. What did you think of the Deathly Hallows?
Book or movie?

4. How many times have you reread the books?Oh god, I don't know. I've lost count.

6. If you went to Hogwarts would you rather have an owl, a cat, or a rat?Owl :) I'd like the magical equivalent of a cellphone.
7. What do you think of the movie Half-Blood Prince?
It was one of the better movies in the whole series.

8. What do you think of the Deathly Hallows being split in two?
They did it to include all the details but they still left out a lot.
