At platform 9 3/4

Lets see how it goes. Hope it was not disappointing like previous movie

The winter is ending

The class has started. Although the class runs fortnightly, it surely keeps me occupied. But I am not going to talk about that, it is no fun...hahahhaha... let us talk about the winter.

I am sure, you must wondering whether there is snow in the winter. Sorry to disappoint you (and with my pleasure of cause), there is NO snow in winter, in Brisbane...normally. Haa.. but this year the climate changed a little. It was colder than before (according to Brisbane people, we will never argue on that....bbrrrr). So in some rural area, it was snowed, very thin though. The lowest we got is 3 deg. Day time was so short. I spent most of the time hibernating, fighting with my nauseas as well. Truthfully, winter did me no good. I got nose bleed, my working hours became too short. Cant stand how the house smell, because it was so cold outside, you couldnt open the window when you are cooking. So the smell linger in the house. Skins were dry, due to hot water and the heater. Yaya and Atang also suffering from dried skin. Ingat winter nie such a big deal sangat laaa.... so bantai mandi, lepas tu malas sapu losyen, duduk pun dekat dengan heater.... haaa... amik..... But what ever we experienced, we did wonder how are those people in the northen hemiphere can cope in the winter. Climate during summer pun macam winter kat sini.

Nevertheless, this is what we called experience. If we never came here, we would definately will not gain this experience. But I am glad the winter is finally over. And before the winter make way for the colourful spring, it left a trademark last week. The rain came and stayed for the whole week. Alhamdullillah. Filling up Brisbanes' almost dried up dam. But Sunshine Coast got the worst of the weather. Some part of the district were flooded.

Other than coping with the weather, I managed to submit the proposal (and I already received positive response from the committee) and.... I also managed to finish the Deathly Hollows...Ok... I did say that I will not read it until the confinement. But hey... who am I kidding. The book was sitting there on my bedside table, it was so tempting. Before I went crazy, reading and finishing it seemed most sensible thing to do. Besides, I deserved a break. So I finished the book, and felt light headed after hahahhaha... (I dont like how the story end though.... cant believe that harry marrying ginny)

For that I end my story. The winter is going, spring is coming. It is spring cleaning time. So get out your broom and scrub, and go scrub the shower (this is a job for atang....hehehhee...)

The order of the pheonix .... and our first movie in Brisbane

HP5 arrived Brisbane on the 11th of July. This time I pursuaded Atang to watch it at cinema. At first we planned to watch it next week, where the crowd wil be less. But an insident happened, so I woke up today, and decided, we have to watch it today... or not. So before we did our marketing, we went to Indooroopilly BC cinema to buy the tickets for the evening show.

Cinema kat sini tak macam Malaysia. It is free seatting. To get the best seat, you have to come early. We bought the 8.30pm show. After dinner, roughly around 7.30pm we rush off to the cinema, it only took 10 minutes to get there, but we want the best seat. When we arrived, the line has already formed. So me and yaya got into the line, while Atang did the food buying stuff, two coffees and a small popcorn. I was arguing with atang about the popcorn, I wanted him to get the regular one, but then the line was moving, so in we went, looking for the best seats. And we get it.


This was our first time going to the cinema in Brisbane. So macam 'galok' (pinjam perkataan Juney) laa.... tengok kiri kanan. Full of teenagers. Fanatik fan pun ada, siap bawak 'wand'. Ok, so everybody seated, came the advertisement on the screen. Takde pulak adverts pasal turn-off-mobile. Tapi mmg through out the movie, takde pun unwanted sound effect. So.... atang, yaya and me are seated comfortably (seat dia best...hahhaha). Now is the popcorn eating time. Ambil sikit.... eeeeiiiii tak sedapnya..... it was just plain butter popcorn. It taste horrible (exagerate as usual....not to my liking la kiranya). Really put me off. Fortunately the latte was great. But yaya likes the popcorn. Sib baik Atang beli small aje.

About the HP5. Ok la, to be fair, I wont comment about the movie. Hey it is difficult to get the hundredth pages of story in just 2-hour-movie. Again, those yang tak baca buku tu wont feel disappointed laa..

So that's 'bout it. Our first movie in Brisbane. Oh... nxt week the last HP book is out. Berazam nak beli and baca masa dlm pantang nanti...hahahha can I resist it?
