Yes, that was a lame joke. First of all, I don't own a cat and do not plan to anytime soon. Second of all, I'm too timid to slay anything other than the tattered pages of really old and worn out books. Moving on now.
There were two major highs of my day today.
The first being that I finally watched The Phantom of the Opera. The 2004 one. It was really quite entertaining except that I felt that there were a little too much of singing that I'm used to when watching musicals like that. Other than that, a good watch. If you like musicals of course.
The other being that, on a random visit to the Pay Less Bookstore at Atria today, I actually found, grabbed and purchased the first two books of the Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events for only RM12 each! It's selling at MPH and major retail bookstores for what, more than twice the slashed price. Woohoo! I feel so proud of myself for such a find. I think I'm going to visit that gem of a place more often now. Going to be on the lookout for more great bargains like that now.
I handed in my Marketing assignment this morning. And I got a 26.7 over 30 for my midterm Accounting paper. I don't know whether it's a HD or just a D but I'm rather smug about it. Hope it's a HD. It'll give me so much more incentive and encouragement to work even harder for my finals that's coming up in a month's time. I just hope we get back our papers so that I can analyse my mistakes.Yeah, I'm such a nerd.
I've been getting weird cravings these days. Even when I'm being stressed out, I can find time to identify those cravings. My latest craving is for anything with peanut butter and jam topping. Pancakes, waffles, bread, toast, biscuit, and cereal. I feel like spreading PBJ on anything that can be spread on. I'm starting to crave for a traditional PBJ toastie right now. It's just addictive and makes the perfect comfort food.
On other days, I just wanted to watch old movies, read loads of comic strips, and cook.
The cooking thing is really getting to me. I need to expand my horizons and make something other than basic sandwiches and toasties, pasta dishes and really simple stir-fries. I want to learn Japanese cooking. Though I really don't think there's much real cooking involved since everything is raw and even just either boiled slightly, or fried in little oil for two seconds. I want to learn to bake exquisite and elaborate cakes and cookies. That is I can, once my mom decides to fit a full operating one in the kitchen. Until then, it's non-baking recipes for me.
Alright, fangirlism alert. Exit this blog right now if you do not like anything and everything related to Harry Potter.
I'm actually getting pretty hyped and excited about the sixth book coming out this July. The fourth movie is also shaping up to look really good, which is being released in November. If you're interested to know more about HP, just turn your attention to the sidebar and scroll downwards. The guy who plays HP in the movies is looking pretty good too. I can't believe I'm actually complimenting a guy four years younger than me about his looks. What is happening to me?!
I can't really explain my position in this whole HP fandom. I don't write long and thought provoking theories about the story, characters or even have any of the HP movies' actors splashed all over my desktop or room. But I do enjoy reading engaging editorials that speculate on the more intimate part of HP and it's in-depth reviews. Does make me an obsessed fan? Am I just riding on the current wave just to look cool? Why can't someone like something for simply what it is without being branded as a geek, nerd or a self-obsessed freak? Am I a love-sick almost-adult-person for generating a mild liking towards a younger boy?
Okay, that just came out wrong. Eew. Next topic. No scathing letters or notes accusing me of posing as a paedophile, please. I get more than my essential daily accusations at home already without more pointing the finger at me.
On a much lighter note, my two faves are still in the American Idol competition. Yay me for making such a good prediction! However, sad to say this, I think the first guy to leave will be Anthony. He's cute. But cute doesn't cut it. I hope I'm wrong.
