the end is near

my eyes are tired, can't seem to focus anymore. it's just like when the effect of polyjuice potion wears out and harry needed his glasses back.

i've been reading that new harry potter and the deathly hallow since morning. to think i actualy woke up before 7 and rushed to east point's popular to queue for that book.

so uncool for a non-teenager.

it was a non-event actually. there was this boy that dressed up in robes ala hogwards student but he just paraded between cashier counters to counters without even looking at the customers. what's the point?



there wasn't even too many people out there too it was foolish to even think there'd be some devilish one shouting spoilers like 'harry's dead!!'. seems like i'm never gonna have a chance to practise my avada kedavra spell.

anyway, i've been enjoying the reading. although it's a bit sad when you know it will end once i clear the last page. with every page i turns, there's a danger of someone dying.

which is stupid really. just like when you cry watching, say, bambi. i'm sure it's so sad when the guy stopped drawing the deer.

the supplement i ordered just being delivered at my doorstep. few days ago i read this article from yahoo about 25 ways to fight ageing, and they have taking alpha lipoic acid as the no-2 item.

when i went to plaza singapure for dinner last night, i stopped by GNC and asked about it, you know, just out of interest. man, it costs $128 for a 30 days supplement.

as if they are made from diamond powder or something. how can you improve your overall being after buying that when in the end you'd be led into depression mode anyway once seeing your account statement?

so i tried this local website www.nutritionpark.com which i found while browsing through the internet. one click and before you knew it, it's on your doorstep like magic as if you cried accio supplement! and it's cheap too. barely 50 bucks inclusive of delivery. this is so the way i'm gonna manage my supplements need in the future.

but of course i had my doubts too. i mean, how do you know it's authentic and not some unsafe substance that make your chest grow or something? it's not like it has a shop that you can bang the door on, or drag the police to. but i guess, i have to take my chances.

i know i can't expect this kind of stuff that i really need to just being given to me anyway, you know, as a present or something. last friday, a female colleague of mine didn't know what to buy for her good male friend's birthday so she asked me what was my most memorable birthday gift for tips.

and i was like..

'yeah of course i've received a memorable gift before. it was..'
'wait, what about that time when i received...'
'well there must have been something..'

which by that time she already looked at me with this funny face. gosh have i really ever received one? memorable gift i mean. when it took more than a few minutes cracking my brain to find one, it surely not that memorable, isn't it?

but i'm sure that sounded worse than reality. i mean, i remember that time when my friends brought me out for birthday dinner then in the end ended up eating cake squatting at this roller skating place in orchard because the restaurant didn't allow us to eat external cake.

or that time when they tricked me into going for tea break during work and surprised me with seah street deli's 7-layered chocolate cake that i so craved, which they bought surrepticiously during lunch time. although to think about it, that was actually as a small farewell before i went to oversea outstation, not birthday.

the point is, i'm sure i'm still blessed.

now what i have to find out, is who's not so blessed until ended up being killed in this last harry potter's book installment as rumoured.

maybe in the next page.
