HARRY POTTER!

these days, at the end of every horseriding lesson on fri, i will think to myself, I am so glad to be alive!

and thank god i survived yesterday's lesson to enjoy another happening friday! lalala!

first up, harry potter dinner at risley dining hall! the dining hall was decorated, some students volunteered to dress up as harry potter characters to mingle with the crowd. a few of us won stuff in the raffle: i won a box of Every flavor Bertie Bott's Beans haha. Too bad, there was a long queue at the door and at the food counter cuz the dining hall was so small and there was no magic to make the food appear on the dishes automatically, and the fish and chips was so disappointing. (gimme fish n co!!)



following the dinner was our highly anticipated Harry Potter movie outing! my first late-night movie experience, and my first time stepping into cinema since i set foot on US! US cinemas are all free-seating la! we freaking got the second row seats!!! ahhh!! (i vividly rmb 6a's first-row experience at matrix reloaded lol!)

we all love the movie! despite the movie going too fast and many details were left out and Cho Chang was disappointing (we actually agreed the gal who dressed up as Cho at our dining hall was chio-er in comparison can u believe it!), but at least:
1) cedric was so shuai! (even guys all agree on tt ;) )
2) the scene when harry brought cedric's body back was unanimously agreed to be superb. (i confess i cried hehe)
3) The girls from the french girls' school were mostly damn chio ahaha!
4) emma watson is so pretty full stop
5) cuz it's a harry potter movie, even if it's bad we won't hate it anyway!

After the movie, we had a ben and jerry's ice cream feast back at campus. it has become a habit for me to indulge in B&J's ice cream every friday night. it's a cycle lor: friday i will sin and get fat then i will be resolute to eat less every day to lose the weight gained until fri night comes i will eat B&J ice cream and gain back all the weight again. grrr...

then, the ILC gang, yuan xiang guo jian shanon and me, played bridge and chatted from 3 plus until 7 plus before we went to slp! ahaha! we always do such 'crazy' stuff! it's not uncommon for the 3 of them to storm into my room with a pack of cards suddenly at night and start playing bridge. and it's fun to talk with them, we talked abt almost everything ranging from trivial things like yuan xiang and guojian's debate on whether king size or single size bed is more preferable in preparation for their -ahem- future, shanon and his gf, our empty love life and failed past attempts (only applicable to the remaining 3 of us), to serious issues like careers, being scholars, and goals in life. it's good that i am not the girlie sort who can't mix with guys in the 'brotherly' way ahaha...
