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..
