i haven't been updating in a while, have i?
just got super lazy
so here are the updates:

1. went to watch the commendation ceremony at st andrew's cathedral
really nice on the inside, all stained glass and white walls
muslim students were actually excused, but i went to support danielle
no offense meant to anyone, but the one hour seemed really long in there
but some parts were interesting
and now dan's a councillor! with a badge!
hehe

2. a majority of paternal female cousins stayed with us for the weekend
which equals to 7 girls, ranging from age 17 to age 8
six of us were all at our grandma's house, but only one parent was willing to send us
from jalan singa (eunos) to woodlands
so there were six of us in the back seat
can u imagine?! younger ones sitting on the laps of the older ones
everyone passing by the car looked into the backseat incredulously
haha

3. watched harry potter!
on sunday, the 7 of us trooped to marsiling station and headed for dhoby ghout
to watch the movie at plaza singapura
luckily my bro had booked the tickets for us thru AXS
met my bro, who arrived by motorbike
(and had never really cared to watch a movie with us before this)
bought the snacks
met two other, older, female cousins
(which makes the count ten; 9 girls, and my poor bro, the only guy)
and headed in to watch the movie
all ten of us sat in a row, so u can imagine how hard it was to share the snacks
and another stupid thing happened:
i spilled 3/4 of the popcorn on the carpet!!

the movie was... ok, i guess
i decided not to read the book again before watching the moves so i would watch it with an open mind
but i still have a few complaints about the movie
a few discrepancies like how did the kids,
other than harry and luna who can actually see the scaly horse/bird,
manage to ride them?
it wasn't explained, so it may have been confusing to ppl who haven't read the book
they should have at least shown the funny process of ron or somebody groping around on the "invisible" creature
and the part harry got possessed by lord V was hilarious
he looked constipated... hehe
and harry watching snape's memory was supposed to be done in the pensieve, and not during an occlumency session
things like this messes about with my memory of the story
so i'd give the movie about 3.5-4/5

so after that, we went to pizzahut to eat
we were told to wait half an hour before they could get a table for 10 ready
so we split up, and explored plaza sing
i was constantly keeping a headcount of the kids
didn't want to accidentally lose one of them

overall, it was fun, except when my brother made my younger sister cry
while the rest of us were goofing around, making funny faces

4. tuesday, went to the airport at 7 in the morning to see my cousins off
before this, they hadn't been back in a year
so i'd really missed them
and now it was goodbye again
:'(
but i'll visit them after them damned A levels are over
after i get my results, and a motorbike license

=)
