Taking a break

I have had it up to my neck this week, I worked at 4 h* consecutively, and on top of that I had to support impromptu breakdowns, work on countless reports, and prepare for more V*. I'm elated when I finally get to knock off :D

My lifeless week aside, my first break came in the form of a movie sub-starring a Chinese girl. Well, not just any Chinese girl (sadly, not Michelle K either), but Cho Chang, the current muse of Harry Porter.

When I first saw Cho Chang's picture on the Internet, I thought she was pretty cool. At least I would like her if I were Harry Porter's age. But after watching the movie today, I decided that I prefer Hermione. That's coz I will want a gf who thinks of me first when she's in need, and appears first by my side when I'm in need. I will not want someone who looks at me and think of someone else, worse, someone who has died.

I find that even though the critics (since when are they accurate??!) commented that this installment of Harry Porter is the worst amongst it all, I liked it the best. Maybe because it's starting to tilt towards the darker side, and with more twists and turns in the plot, I find that the details no longer bore me, but rather draw me further into the film.

Harry Porter is a very very unlucky chap, who always meet the right people at the wrong place - at the right time. He is terribly misunderstood, and is destined to lead a lonely life as a dark hero. Sometimes, it's really tiring being him. As part of the audience, I feel tired for him. I feel his anguish, his frustration.

On a lighter note, I'm seriously wondering why he isn't choosing Hermione as his gf, when they are obviously soulmates of one another. She can read his mind, give him a piece of sound advice when he's down, while he can be there for her, and protect her. When the reel-life chemistry between Harry and Hermione is so in-your-face, it really tickles me to see Hermione getting jealous and upset over the not-so-glam Ron...*yawn...
