favourite couples (books to movies)

nowadays, there are a lot of movies that are adapted from books. some of them includes harry potter, percy jackson, twilight and hunger games. and in each books/movies, i have my favourite couples. let me introduce them to you.

harry potter series

i read harry potter before it was translated into movie. so, everytime the movies came out, i already know the stories. if i remember correctly, i read harry potter non-stop until the fourth book, harry potter and the goblet of fire but have to wait every year for the new book to come out. the waiting is really a torture! in harry potter, i have two favourite couples and i think you can guess who the are. yup, it's non other than harry and ginny and ron and hermione.

percy jackson series
same as harry potter, i read the books before the first movie came out. honestly, in the first movie, we (miss a, hawa and me) were a little bit disappointed since the storyline changed quite a lot. the most obvious differents is annabeth's hair. it should be blonde not brunette (according to the book). and miraculously, the hair changed to blonde in the second movie. maybe, a lot of fans (book) complained, hehe.. my favorite couple in the series is also a non-brainer. of course, it is percy and annabeth!

twilight series
as in twilight, i watched the movie first and only then, i read the books. both of my bestest buddies, miss a and hawa had already read them. so, i just borrowed the books from miss a. in twilight, my favourite couple is not the main character but alice and jasper. to be honest, i don't like bella and edward much, hehe..

hunger games series
same as twilight, i watched the movie first. only then i read the books. i only read the last book, mockingjay but watched the first two movies. in these series, i like non other than peeta and katniss. since, from the first movie, i didn't like gale much. after watching the second movie, the first thing i did after arriving home was to grab my copy of mockingjay and opened up the last few pages. i just want to know with whom katniss ended up with and i jumped gleefully, finding out that it was peeta (sorry for spoiling the story for you)! yup, katniss ended up with peeta! furthermore, i don't like liam hemsworth much after he left miley. poor miley going 'unstable' after that.. all you ever did was wreck me..

sense of direction

Sometimes, i'm amazed by my own sense of direction. If i'm planning to go to a certain place, i usually end up at the total opposite direction of the place i intended to go in the first place. For example, yesterday i went to ikea. Getting there wasn't a problem at all since i've been there a few times before. But the way back is another story entirely.

Usually, when i went to ikea, i used the plus highway to go there and then LDP to get back to putrajaya. This time around, i wanted to try using the plus highway to go back instead. I think i made one early turn and guess where i ended up at? In front of the subang airport! On the bright side, i know what subang airport looks like these days..

I then followed a signboard to putrajaya, only to miss a turn and ended up at federal highway. In the end, i still use the LDP to get back. You might say that i should use the navi apps that are easily accessible this day. Well, i did used them and i still ended up lost! i couldn't follow the instructions well. when they say, turn left in 400m, i will automatically turn left immediately.

well, i always end up at the right place anyway. no matter how many wrong turns i made, no matter how many hours i took, how many petrols i used, alhamdulillah, i always find it in the end. i think that getting lost would give us a few good things such as knowing a new route, stumbling on a fantastic place that you would never know if you're not lost and the never give up attitude. this can be applied to life itself..

ps: another moral of the story is, don't ever ask me for direction unless you're really sure i'm familiar with the place you want to go.. otherwise, you'll be lost as well..

current things i'm looking forward to..

how time flew! we are almost entering yet another new year in one month time. there are a lot of things and events this year. some of them are happy memories and some of them are the sad one. and these are some things that i'm currently looking forward to!

1. Big Bad Wolf 2013

Okay, this biggest book sale in the world will be happening again this year beginning on the 6th december 2013, which  is on next friday. this year, it will be open 24/7. miss a and i had already planning on going there at midnight to avoid the crowd. hopefully, not all people had the same plan we did. really couldn't wait for this event eventhough i have to admit that i haven't finished reading all the books bought in the previous BBW.

2. My Graduation Day

Alhamdulillah, finally i can officially known as a university graduate. After almost 6 years of studying (2 years just to finish my thesis, hehe..), i can get my diploma certificate. hopefully, by receiving this cert, my application to further my study at upm would be accepted. oh, if i forgot to mention this before, i've already applied master of corporate communication at upm. i only gave them my transcript but they still want the diploma cert. my graduation is on the 14th december at pwtc.

3. Siem Reap Trip

we are going to siem reap on february next year! by we, i mean miss a and i. siem reap is one of my 'wish list place to visit' because of the infamous angkor wat. we planned this trip by ourselves. we planned the ground tour, we searched for hotel and we searched for our own guide. hope everything fall in place accordingly..

4. Seoul Trip

and on march, i will be going to seoul, korea. this time with hawa. actually, this trip was initiated by hawa, since she was hoping to watch shinhwa concert that probably be held during this time. the asia super showcase that included shinhwa was cancelled. this concert was supposed to take place in kuala lumpur a few months ago but was cancelled because of  some 'political issue.' so, another trip that i'm really looking forward to.

okay, those are a few things/events i'm really looking forward to! beside these coming good things, there's on thing that made me sad. my sister's maid, putri, had gone back to her hometown in bukittinggi, indonesia for good. she's more than just a maid for me, she's like a little sister that i could tell almost everything. we shared lots of good and bad memories together. i'm wishing her all the best in everything she does.
