Monday can die

This post…I think I won’t let it be funny. Oh, and nothing about school. Seeing as an un-funny thing happened on Monday…
Anyway, I might as well continue on HP6.
Gong into the…romantics of the movie…
Basically, both Hermione and Lavender love Ron…and both Harry and Dean love Ginny Weasley.
In the Three Broomsticks… (Since when did the barkeeper become a male?)
Ron: Look at them! This is a public place!
Hermione: Relax Ron; they’re only holding hands… (Turns over to see Dean kissing Ginny)…and snogging…
In a small interlude, Katie Bell touches a cursed necklace outside the bar. Rushed to McGonagall’s office…
McGonagall: Why, is it that when something happens, do you three HAVE to be around?
Ron: To be honest, Professor, I’ve been asking myself the same question for the last six years.
On Harry’s return to the Burrow, Death Eaters launch an attack on the Burrow and
So, Ron has to be greedy and eats chocolates laced with love potion meant for Harry.
In Slughorn’s Office…
Slughorn: With a genius like you, Harry, I reckoned you could have whipped up a cure in no time!
Harry: Well, looking at the circumstances, I think a more experienced hand was necessary.
(Ron hugs Slughorn)
Slughorn: Maybe…you’re right
Basically, Ron ends up in hospital (not telling you how!) While he’s in a coma…
Lavender: I happen to be his girlfriend!
Hermione: I happen to be his…friend.
Ron: Mmf…
Lavender: Yes, Won-won (that always makes me crack up) I’m here!
Ron: Her…mione….
(Lavender bursts into tears and runs away)
Great job, Ron…
Later, Harry extracts the memory from Slughorn Dumbledore requires, and proves his abilities. Dumbledore agrees to take Harry to join him in cutting away another of Voldemort’s life-strings. Taking him by Apparition out of the school, (apparently being headmasters means you CAN bend some school rules). The waves crashing upon that pathetic outcrop they end up on is grand…
Personally, I thought the sight of Dumbledore conjuring the twisting inferno is the best scene in the film. Personally. He is THE wizard to beat. How The Hell can he do magic at his weakened state?
Still, being so powerful, he is THE target for the other powerful one in the wizarding world, and upon his return to Hogwarts, who should he meet but Voldemort’s assassin, Draco Malfoy.
Now, see, Mr. Malfoy has been preparing carefully for this. Actually, failed the first few times and had to resort to this. Failing to curse the Hogwarts headmaster or poison him, he lets the Death Eaters into the heavily defended school through the Vanishing Cabinet. As the Death Eaters rush up to surround the severely enervated Dumbledore, (funny, Harry was trying to use Enervate in the book to revive Dumbledore’s strength), Snape sneaks past Harry, and snuffs out Dumbledore’s light. Harry attempts to curse Snape, but Snape reveals that he is the Half-Blood Prince.
Near the end of the movie, students and teachers alike raise their wands in a tribute to their fallen headmaster, and the light from their wands and the sun dispel the Death Mark cast by Lestrange, and the movie sets the undertone that darkness, no matter how powerful or debilitating, will be defeated by the light of day.

HP6 Part one

So, for once I’m writing about one of my weekends. But that’s only because I watched Harry Potter. And this post is going to be about the film. Actually, entirely about the film. SPOILER ALERT!!!
So the papers say Harry was TRYING to chat up a girl? I think the girl was trying to chat up him. But, see, there’s this quality in elders that like to spoil the moment, so dear old Dumbledore turns up, and whisks Harry away by Apparition. (Apparently the book describes it as the squeezing Knight Bus. Just too fast in the movie for us to see anything…but there WAS some squeezing effect.)
Anyway, they are there to find Horace Slughorn. After poking him real hard, Dumbledore waves his wand and repairs the damage dealt to the house in an attempt to disguise Slughorn’s non-existence. Then,
Dumbledore: That was fun!
Quite obviously, Harry has that “drawing power” that gets Slughorn back to teaching.
Now, that part about Narcissa and Bella visiting Snape. I. Cannot. Effing. Believe. How old Narcissa is WTF. Still. Bellatrix’s madness enchants. Not that I’m not mad myself. XD
At the Burrow...where Dumbledore transports Harry's stuff before him LOL...
Ginny Weasley: Mom? Harry’s here!
Molly: Are you sure? I’d know if Harry Potter was in my house!
Ron: Yea, I’d know if my best friend was around!
*bump bump bump*
(Everyone rushes down)
Hermione: Well, there’s been rumors that Dumbledore’s getting…old…
Harry: No way, he’s just…how old is he?
Ron: About 150 years…give or take a few years…
At Diagon Alley…
Ron: How much is this?
Fred and George: 8 Galleons.
Ron: How much for me?
Fred and George: 8 Galleons.
Ron: I’m your brother!
Fred and George: 10 Galleons.
After the train ride…
Harry: Have you mended noses before?
Luna: No…I have mended many toes though. What’s the difference, really?
Back in school…
McGonagall: Go for your Potions class, or do you not harbour any more hopes of becoming an Auror?
Potter: But Snape only accepted students with Outstanding for Potions
McGonagall: Slughorn has lower expectations for NEWT students.
Harry: Yes Professor.
McGonagall: And take Mr. Weasley with you. He looks too comfortable up there.
Basically, thatwas the nearest mention of classes…but Harry just outdoes everyone with his cool…er…old book when he failed to snatch the new one instead, becoming the next student to get the lucky potion Slughorn offers. Hermione’s frustration was …hilarious, to say the least, I think she was smoking more than the potion.
In Quidditch, Hermione confounds Mclaggen, whom she does not want to see as Gryffindor seeker. Of course, Ron being the other contender, means there is one of those amusing conversations…
Ron: You’re big aren’t you? Keepers are supposed to be fast, agile…
McLaggen (grabs and crushes a bee in midair): I’m pretty confident on that front.
Now, so that I don’t TOTALLY spoil everything, I shall hop-skip-jump over some parts…
On Ron’s first Quidditch match..(I had NO idea Keepers, or any player for that matter, got to wear protective gear)
Luna (in some ridiculous lion headdress): You look awful, Ron…Is that why Harry put something in your drink? Is it meant to be a tonic or something?
(Hermione looks outraged at Harry, who is hiding the lucky potion)
Subsequently, Ron just owns the match…through blind willpower. But those were some slick moves. I think the Quaffle can be the new Bludger.
Oh, and I finally know what those two funny metal supports on the broom are for.

C-C-A-Day-WOOT

WOOT CCA DAY HYPERHYPERHYPER.
That was random. Still...
Mentoring
we went through something serious. Period. "Serious" because I felt like cracking up the whole session. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. So there.
English
Yay I produced another good piece. So did the rest of the class. But EGOEGOEGOEGO.
History
This lesson is getting boring. I need a test of some sort.
Chinese
Damn chinese give me so much work for the weekend. At least There was only half an hour of lessons. I played autobot stronghold...I wish they could display the bots proper WTF.
Math
I JUSTJUSTJUSTJUST HAVE to talk about this. For starters, mr. Cheong spelled Pythagoras' Theorum wrong about thrice...
1) Pyathogras
2) Pythogras
3) Pyathoras
Then, he started talking in falsettos to random people.
Then candice stated acting so blur he drew a picture JUST to show how blur she is.
ROFLMAOWTIME
CCA
So firstly WOOT from now on our CCA starts an hour late so I can play on the com without the lab techs around...
Then being part of the layout team, I thought I could slack for 7 weeks. Unfortunately Mr. Valles had other plans and wanted us to write one article each. But quite easy lah. 1 hour later I was playing games again.
I can just imagine the brochure we have to do for English about our CCA now.XD

Bridge'em and Heart'em

Today, right, is one of those what I call the more boring days…until we actually made the Math 1 hr in the mornings permanent. Heheh. Mr. Cheong was so nice, cancelled his morning meeting…
Math
Would have been totally uninteresting if not for the fact of this question:
Mr. Cheong: eh, Jit Wu? I thought u like to…blahblahblah about these questions one.
Jit Wu: (some random gesture)
Mr. Cheong: How about Yu Han? You like to talk a lot right?
And I realized that I was just too freaking far ahead. So I had to like, Where are we?
English
Finally, I turn out a good piece. I mean, I just couldn’t see myself churning out shit all the time right? Just that Jit Wu or Sooraj had to f**king close the window before I had the chance to make changed to what ever I had written. WTF I felt like going to emo in a corner.
Break
Quite obviously, being the addicted freak that I am, decided to play cards. Somehow Hearts didn’t want to be friends with me today and I didn’t shoot the moon even once. Sad. But as always, when I play Bridge with Cards other than POT ones. I tend to win. Most of the time. And today was one of those times.
PS Apparently Sooraj and gang were trying out the Flight Simulator on Eric’s laptop. Don’t ask me how he agreed to lend them. And Sooraj was so noob he crashed in Easy Mode WTF.

Day of the black...sky

Solar eclipse in Singapore=epic phail
Totally true kind of equation, because the entire sky was like, overcast or raining for the ENTIRE duration of the solar eclipse. LOLOLOL for those who were hoping to see it. Yes, I’m sadistic.
ACE
We were doing boring shit. As usual. But the first part of it was fun.
Mr. Cheong: All of you REALLY opted out of the know your neighbour activity?
Whole class: YES!
Mr. Cheong: You can’t just put up your hand if you actually asked your neighbour; no need to be shy…
(no response from class)
So much for racial harmony then.
Break
I should play Hearts with chickens, mushrooms and mimes more. Because I shot the moon like twice in one round?! HTF can you let someone end with 23 points?!!!
Math
This part was REALLY amusing. Other than all the trigo stuff…
Mr. Cheong: I’m nice teacher right…
(Random people smirk/giggle/laugh)
Mr. Cheong: Hey, why are you laughing? Never mind. Ruth? Mr. Cheong is a good teacher right?
(Ruth shakes head)
(Whole class guffaws)
Mr. Cheong(In a shocked voice): Really, Ruth?
(Ruth nods)
(Whole class laughs more)
Mr. Cheong: Ok, I’ll leave you to read up your notes while I…go to a quiet corner get the temperature taking form. I shouldn’t take more than 10 mins but if I do, give me a call. Though I may not answer because I don’t want you to hear my voice when I’m crying…
Whole class: Mr. Cheong going to emo!
Break 2
I shot the moon. A third time. But failed twice…sad
Chinese
Yea I sabotaged about eight people. But no matter. Our essay was so easy to write I had time to find out the Express Chinese teacher didn’t come WTF. Screw them

Random Emo shit

I hate emo posts and yea, that is one of the reasons why I have never tried to put this down from thoughts to paper (figuratively speaking). But after talking to Mr. Cheong about it…
To Mr. LJL:
I really don’t know how to start this. Serious. Maybe I should begin from the beginning.
You and Mr. LCS took us for IP. For the second semester we had to design a product that was suitable for the usage of an elderly person. Originally, each group was supposed to have 4 or 5 people, but because of Edith being unable to attend lesson, our group was left with 3 people.
So first, we came up with an instrument that would aid in the cleaning up of the floor for elderly people. Basically, it is an extension of the hand to assist the elderly.
Your came around to “demolish” our ideas (Well, how can there be success with just that one idea?) Mr. LCS was encouraging, he thought it was not good enough but he thought it could actually turn out fine if we went ahead with it (which, incidentally, was what one of the other groups from another class did.) You, on the other hand, told us bluntly that we were forcing the elderly to accept our idea. I was a little hurt, but I knew that the idea wasn’t what you were expecting, so I racked by brains for a new idea.
To cut a long story short, our group came up with around six ideas altogether, and I believe you demolished no less than two-thirds of them. After every time that happened, I convinced myself that I was not good enough, and I had to try, try and try again. But after three, four five times of that, I was tired. And frustrated. I am a perfectionist, you mentioned that, so I put the best that I can into all of my innovations.
In the end, we had to make do with one of your innovations, and we couldn’t make it into the house.
I don’t understand…we produced more ideas than any other group, with less people. It hurts that the innovation of one of the other groups was done with your help and displayed in the model house, based on one of my ideas. We were left to fend for ourselves until the very last moment. Even then, I hashed out the product as soon as possible. Mr. LCS was a figure of encouragement through the entire semester. He even praised of of our groups' innovations before the class. I can't say the same about you.
A year on, when I see the Year ones doing the same stuff…
It burns.
(I apologize for the atrocious command of English. I’m not used to expressing my thoughts this way.)

Wake up, Wake up, on a Saturday night

Today I woke up on a…Tuesday morning. Like, what were your expecting?
Chemistry
Practical test. Hopefully I didn’t screw up because I like, cheated for about 2/3 of the results. Probably because I only got the damn color on the first titration, and I decided to alter the rest to fit it. At least the theory part was easy. But then I think people on the other side of the experiment table were amused when I wasted lots of ink and then realized that we had to work backwards instead of forwards…
English
One of those lessons where we have to do another writing activity. I’m resolving to do better this time…
PE
I really don’t want to talk about this. Because it involved me doing much more shouting than usual, and one other person doing really loud shouting.
We were doing handstands for the last lesson of gymnastics. It. Was. Gay. couldn’t they teach breakdancing or something?
