'True Blood' of love and lust...

Recently, we can see 'vampires' in the movies and on the t.v. screen. 'True Blood' is one of the 'vampire' franchise.
1. Love
Girl-meets-vampire, girl fall-in-love with vampire. That's basically what is in the series. Story revolves around a telepathic waitress, Sookie (played by Anna Paquin) who met a vampire Bill in the restaurant that she's working. Sookie's encounter with Bill lands her in all sorts of trouble. Sookie almost died in protecting Bill but survive after he saved her with his blood. Yeah, in this series, vampire's blood has the power to cure and even save a person's life. Sookie's friends and family warned her to stay away from Bill as he might endanger her life. Still, Sookie's love towards him was unconditional.
2. Lust
'True Blood' is definitely an adult rated series. The setting is located in the small town, Bon Temps. However all the villagers involved in all sort of crime. Take Sookie's brother for example, Jason. He was, in the wrong place all the time. First, he was involve with a prostitute, Maudette which later was killed by a vampire. Jason was making out with her hours before she was dead. Next, he was the main suspect in killing Sookie's colleague, Dawn as he was fighting with her the night before. Jason is addicted to the Vampire's Blood, which he was initially use them to have a good sex with his girlfriend. Nevertheless, he took the Blood overdose and became addicted to it. He then became close to another Blood addict, Amy.

The second season premier in Asia in August on Max.

'Harry Potter'

I'd been watching the 'Harry Potter' series since the 'Sorcerer's Stone'. These are my comments for all the 'Harry Potter' that has been shown:

  1. 'The Sorcerer's Stone': Magical, fun, and of course adventurous
  2. 'The Chamber of Secrets': More chaos as Ron and Harry face without Hermione on discovering the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts

  3. 'The Prisoner of Azkaban': Probably the dark and a confusing one. It had some sentimental feelings in it as Harry met his godfather, Sirius Black and found out it was Peter Pettigrew who betrayed his parents, not Sirius.

  4. 'The Goblet of Fire': Such a miss that Edward Cullen, sorry wrong movie... Cedric Diggory, played by the charming bloodsucker Robert Pattinson was murdered by Voldermort. Has anyone notice that Emma Watson looks beautiful in this movie?

  5. 'The Order of Phoenix': This was my least favourite, actually. This book was around 600 pages thick and I thought the movie was going to be almost 3 hours long. However, the director edited some important part of it, making the story hard to understand. The situation differs if you read the book.
Now it was 'The Half-Blood Prince'. Overall, what makes the movie nice to watch was probably the teenage romance between Harry and pals. The funniest of all has to go to Ron and Lavender. For Harry and Ginny, well, they are officially together after Ginny had a crush on Harry for almost 6 years. Meanwhile, it had to be the saddest thing that Professor Dumbledore had to die for the wrong reasons while Professor Snape carry the murderer's name for killing Professor Dumbledore. It was a plan by Dumbledore for Snape to kill him. It was Snape that has been protecting Harry all these years for his love towards Lily... (will be review in 'The Deathly Hallows')

School's Carnival Day...

Yesterday, my school, Seafield organised a 'Carnival Day'. I was involved in helping my class selling bubble tea, 'keropok lekor' and 'kebab'. Trying to recall, the bubble tea was kinda out of my expectation on how it was supposed to be. Bubble tea, or 珍珠奶茶(Milk tea with chewy pearl)in Chinese, was commonly found in the streets in Taiwan. However, the bubble tea sold by my class had gone through 'innovation' and ended up as bubble float tea (they had replaced ice-cream with the pearls). Surprisingly, quite a number of buyers. Next up was the kebab. I think it was the best of all! Diyana's mum is really a good cook. Love the spiciness. The 'kebab' was the best seller yesterday and sold out at about 11 a.m.!!! That's just 2 hours of operating... Later, still some students and parents came asking if we do have more... Really sorry...!
I played a game and won a weird dress top... It was pink and flowery. Which skirt or trousers match this top?!
