I'VE GOT THE POTTER BOOK

I think Yee Chong and I were approximately the 19th and 20th Singaporean to have laid our hands on the Half-Blood Prince. Yes, we were at Borders waiting for the release of the book at 0701hrs. Unlike the uninformed Muggles who kept joining the snaking queue at the foyer, we happily made our way to the cashiers inside where they were virtually empty. Even had time to eat breakfast. So much for people camping in Borders with sleeping bags just to queue up for their book, I bet I got the book before them. Yes, I take unabashed delight in life's little cheap thrills, but at least I admit it freely, mwahahaha.

Pictures including Weilin in the next post, but for the meantime, I just need to BLURT and SHARE a super ultra big spoiler for the end of the book! (Yes I've finished it in abt 3+ hrs) So scroll down if you want to be spoiled. If not, look away NOW:

Dumbledore died by Snape's hands.

In shock over the book, and a little disappointed that it's so straightforward this time round. (Then again, maybe I've been reading too much Robin Hobb.) And it's not long enough, only 600+ pages! Just sent Yee Chong off a few min ago, she came over and crashed at mine. I can't really type coherently but it's okay - I've finally read the 6th book after waiting for YEARS, woohoo!

Off to bed! Happy happy happy!

I will like to spend my days, as though they are my own, which I mostly end up doing in halves, for duty beckons, and I am answering its clarion call. Soon enough! I am also a veteran procrastinator.
