Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

just finished reading the book, nice & interesting! :)
alright, for those who haven't read the book yet, don't read any further, i don't want this entry to be a spoiler to you :)
well, i can conclude that the moral of the story is (wow.. sounds like Moses Lim in Under One Roof huh? :P) love, courage and trust :)
J.K. Rowling is very good at writing the book with suspense in almost every chapter to make sure that her readers stick to the story and read until the end of it, where all the mysteries and secrets are unveiled.
I was quite sad and felt embarrassed for myself when i learnt that Severus Snape was actually not a Death Eater at all, at least not to his wish as he was forced to, well, in a mission :) It's very touching that he'd loved Lily Evans (Potter) for all his life, he must be very heart-broken when Lily chose James Potter in the end. I can't deny that Albus Dumbledore had actually used him, despite for the well being of everyone. Well done, Snape! For your bravery and loyalty :)
As for Albus Dumbledore, we should be glad that he realised his mistakes early and chose to fight his long-lost friend, Gellert Grindelward, again, for the sake of mankind :) He'd understood everyone around him well, as those he could read their mind. That's why his plan was carried out smoothly and almost flawless.
However, i think that Rowling has put the part of Ronald Weasley leaving Harry Potter and Hermione Granger and reuniting with them too 'amazing' and a bit 'fake'. Well, that's what i think :)
The part i don't really like about this book is, the 3 main characters have been shouting at each other as they're having bad temper due to the Horcruxes they carried and the stress of hunting down the rest of them. It makes the readers mad too!
And the epilogue is a bit redundant and sounds like a make-up. I personally feel that the story can end better without it. By the way, some readers do find it interesting and eager to know more about their lifes without Tom Riddle, after reading that chapter :)
All in all, this is a good and worth-reading book.

Hols till 9th of Sept.

Finally, i'm home after 2 months of life at UM :)


July

Busy orientating juniors and orientating myself to the new environment (new hostel room) and new academic year, with more responsibilities and challenges!

My little buddies are Bee Chin and Charlene (has changed course to Law due to some personal reasons).

Went buddy outing with the rest of the buddies in my buddy line to One Utama. Had a sumptious dinner at Bar.B.Q Plaza :)


August

Shifted room twice to give way to renovation work. Now my room floor is tiled and we've a new door :) It looks nicer, cleaner, brighter, and more like a 'room' now! But it'll be perfect if it has wireless connection in the room :) Well, proposals have been made and brought up to the accomodation college administrators, hope it'll be passed as soon as possible.

Coursemates went Taiwan to attend the annual Asia-Pacific Dental Student Association (APDSA) Scientific Reserch Conference (SRC) 2007. Thanks for the souvenirs ya!

By the way, Malaysia wil be hosting APDSA SRC 2009, with UM being the main host. I'm the Local Organising Committee (LOC) External Secretary. Might need to attend a meeting with leaders from other universities in other countries in Thailand next year together with the International President 2009 - Meng Yit (my roommate), Liaison Officer - Jia Min, and LOC President - Chung Nam.
My coursemates & I have to attend APDSA SRC 2008 in Surabaya, Indonesia next year to promote Malaysia.
All these mean i need money, money and lotsa money!!!
Luckily we are partially sponsored, but only 'partially'. Meaning we still have to fork out some money...
Last Saturday, i went Petaling Jaya SS24 to have DimSum breakfast with coursemates.
Last Sunday, i went Eastin Hotel to have Japanese buffet dinner with my uncle and his family.
Last Monday, i went Sunway Yuen Restaurant to have steamboat buffet with all my 2nd year coursemates.
This week, i'm at home to enjoy all my favourite foods!
Wow, hopefully i can successfully gain more weight as i'm really skinny and ugly now :'(
Going back to UM on 8th of September as our dental fac convo is on the 9th. Bought presents and did banner for my graduate buddy :)
Have to prepare for my Pharmacology test on the 11th of Sept, 'though it's only a 20 MCQ test.
Have to finish reading my Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! I've only read the first chapter :P Have been too busy lah...

Life isn't always easy - Mary A. Rothman

updated my Friendster profile with a new skin. Found a skin that i liked yesterday, only to find out later that one of my friends is using it, so i changed it with another...
Life Isn't Always Easy
Life can be unfair at times
When you must maintain faith
And never let go
It's especially during the difficult times
That you must live your life to it's fullest potential
Life is not always easy
But if you keep going and persevere
To the very best of your ability
You'll gain strength to manage
The new challenges ahead
ALWAYS BELIEVE
That there are bright and wonderful days ahead for you
And you'll find them
