Ainaa's first single

Kindergarten is closed for 3 weeks hence we need to take turn taking care of Ainaa at home. Since both of us are currently doing our thesis in the lab, I got to spend 3 days in the lab for the first week, 2 days in the following week and so on. Today, I went to the lab with a peaceful mind. I think Nazrin has got a lot better in taming Ainaa..(kuikuikui..). When I got home, he showed me this video which made me laugh out loud. Seriously, Ainaa is starting to mimick everything she sees now. Enjoy!

HP & 1/2 Blood Prince : Review

I spent almost two hours watching the newest installment of Harry Potter (The Half Blood Prince). Honestly, unlike many reviews that I read before watching the film; I am contented with this installment. I hate the Order of Phoenix even more. Even though it doesn't really follow the original storyline in the book (worst in the Order of Phoenix) , but it has more satisfaction to it: at least for me.. It started with the scenes that can't be found anywhere in the book, it is totally a made up scene. However, I still think it is important to fit the storyline in this film.

It has been such a long time since I read the book, I vaguely remember the whole content but the "falling in love" scenes in the film didn't really potray the fondness that Hermione has for Ron and how they both end up together. And I think the scriptwriter rushed out too much to the extent of almost 'forcing' the bond between Harry and Ginny. For those that have been following the film, and not reading the book might feel slightly fooled on how 'sudden' the feeling between Ginny and Harry develops. For me, Harry's feeling towards Ginny has been there for so long, but since the film focused more on Hermione rather than other female character in the previous plot; it is even more difficult to put Harry and Ginny together as a lover.

This film as many have watched and read, saw the death of Hogwarts Principle, Albus Dumbledore. Significant as he may seem, his death is important to develop the plot further. With his death, Harry clearly understand the needs to destroy Voldemort even more. Although the title is about "The Half Blood Prince" in which in this film refers to Severus Snape, but the emphasis on how Harry becomes infatuated with "The Half Blood Prince" Advanced Potion book can be rarely seen. I think the book has done justice to the title rather than the film. This installment will leave the impression "the episode which Dumbledore dies" rather than "the episode which the Half Blood Prince is revealed".

Even though it has many small weakness, I give a thumbs up for this film. The storyline may dragged up a bit, but it has significance for every single line. My favourite part of the encounter is when Hermione and Harry were in a library discussing:

Hermione : Hey, she took an interest in you because she thinks you're the chosen one..
Harry : but I am the CHOSEN one!
Hermione : (hit him with newspaper)
Harry : Oh..ok, Sssory..kidding..

(hahahaha.. I really love how friendly both of them are..)

Hope all of you have fun watching this installment as I am.

PINGU..

Gotta love watching Ainaa on her PINGU marathon. Glad she's not running from one coach to another like the previous journey.



During Siegen to Frankfurt journey. She's easily offended nowadays. Probably I should stop giving her too much face.

Desperate

I'm really looking forward for this weekend.. why? I'm going to watch the Harry Potter movie! Wuhuuuu.. never really thought it would materialize in the beginning, but since hubby said just go and he will take care of Ainaa.. well, i just agreed immediately before he changed his mind! I never realize that I would be this happy anticipating the day, probably because anything that would make me run away from work is heaven to me already.. (hahahaha.. it doesn't really mean that I hate my work though..).

48 days to go..

Personal memoirs

There are quite a few people asking me where have I been these days, without blogging, or being online in chatroom. I'm not really busy to be honest, and I'm not running from anyone either. The truth is the work I'm having right now is killing me. I never realized it was so difficult at the beginning, or probably the truth just didn't hit me yet at that time. When everything was in order, then I realized I probably might not be able to finish my work, and I just stop thinking. I dunno since when I started to behave like that, but it's just humiliating even to think back. And recovering from such meltdown isn't easy either. I miss my mum with her encouraging words, and even so I'm still thankful that I got my hubby behind my back all the time. I'm surprised that I still have the courage to survive without any anti-depression pills yet. Huarrggghhhh..

May Allah gives me all the courage to survive this time.
55 days till I fly back to Malaysia..huhu!

Guilty

There are lots of things that I felt guilty right now.. I wish I can turn back time to correct them all. I promise to myself, I will work harder from now on. I will not disappoint anybody from now on. Especially my husband. He has gone through enough miserable things and yet he still didn't complaint. I guess my mother's prayers always has been answered in one way or another. She once told me that she always prays that (even after I got married) that I will have husband that gives me happiness to the end of my life until Jannah. She prays that hardships can still pass through me even though how hard it is, and I will be able to manage them. I think I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many people with beautiful heart, and yet even though in one way or another I did disappoint them; they never show much contemplation to my bad actions and focuses to good things.. I guess I will never get the meaning of life without the help of generous and kind hearted people around me, and even though this guilt is really killing me, I will do my best from now on..
