hi all, it's so exciting to see so many PL girls in this forum. I'm from Sec 3F/4F (1991-1992). Together with another girl from the same class, we are thinking of organising a sec 4 class reunion soon. Any Sec 3F/4F girls out there interested? can email me at [email protected]
those not from the class also welcome to join in =)
 
hi alhana,
i managed to start on the 2nd book but i felt sick on sunday.... slept the whole day. quite sick this morning as well... today on mc.

hi gals,,

a bit of 'damage' over the weekend
happy.gif


bought some presents, my ROM dress, shoes for WG, FH's shirts,,,,

went to POIS at Scotts.. they've got some rather nice EG,,, but very EX!!! so, i settled for a simple gown from Daniel Yam, one of the latest arrivals
happy.gif


yesterday went for hari raya lunch @ ex-colleagues place,,, incidentally, it's the 1st meeting for both sets of parents.... quite nervous liao
wink.gif
 
Hi Wenn
happy.gif


wow when r the parents meeting? I rememeber when FH brought me to see the movie MEET THE PARENTS, he was so nervous if my dad will be like Robert De Niro! *LOL* Siao lah him, i told him my dad wun use the lie detector, but will only stare at him . Wah when he heard it, he nearly peng *HEE*

glad 2 hear u already bought yr dress. Daniel Yam carries very nice EG. Aiya, nearly wanted to buy his gold EG, but unfortunately, cant zip up near the chest area. The cutting for that dress quite strange :P Bought a ROM dress fr Yen though.
POIS has really nice Eg's but like what u said, super the ex.
 
seiko,

my parents have not met FH's parents yet... FIL will be coming for ROM... only get to see MIL during customary... actually for my colleague, a bit sticky for them as she's a malay muslim & he's chinese....

i bought the dress which has floral prints,,, the other gowns are rather plain though,,, went to POIS & the sales lady was rather nice,,, she asked me wat i was looking for & that her stylists can help me choose a gown to my liking,,,, hee hee,,, me & FH wandered into the Guy Laroche corner when she spotted us,,,, she said that they do alterations & fittings too...

anyway, i wasn't looking at anything from the couture line,,, but it was nice that she bothered to talk to us instead of staring us down,,, i was in t-shirt, jeans & slippers mah...

Hi Blossom,

Oh dear, hope ure feeling better now. Rest well okie? Its sucky to fall sick during the holiday season. Is it the flu?

I've been busy visiting muslim friends this weekend. Went to their houses for Hari Raya..pigged out on a lot of delicious food! I was admiring the ladies all dressed up in their beautiful baju kurung...how come we chinese don't wear our ethnic clothing on CNY now..quite a pity actually.

Anyway I'm on leave this Friday to watch The Two Towers! So excited! Will probably try to squeeze in some xmas shopping then..can u believe i haven't done any yet??? Terrible.
 
hi alhana,
im ok liao. thanks. i had sore throat. i think i din drink enough water and i was caught in the rain a few times.
lame.gif


hey, u are really excited to watch the two towers huh. my hubby too. but he cant watch it that early. he's very busy with work lately.

i also din do any xmas shopping yet. sigh! hopefully can squeeze out some time this weekend.
wink.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Good to know that you're feeling better. I just recovered fr the flu not too long ago. Had sore throat, cold and stuffy nose. But it wasn't bad...didn't take MC
happy.gif
In fact, I only took MC once this whole yr! V proud of myself :P

Yah lor, my hubby and I have been waiting 1 whole yr for The Two Towers. And its finally here! We'll be watching at Cineleisure this Fri..already bought the tix :P
 
hi alhana,
can see that you are really excited abt the show.
biggrin.gif
any idea how long is the show?

thanks! im feeling better now though i still cough quite badly at nite. im still on medication.
lame.gif
 
alhana,
enjoy ur show today.
happy.gif


im half way thru the book. i think the movie is quite different from the book. more fast pace and exciting. i think i prefer the movie at this moment. but it also keeps me in suspense as what i read is not what i expect having seen the movie already.
wink.gif


my hubby is really very happy to see me reading every nite. he is motivated to read his book as well.
lol.gif
it's really very rare for me to read. each time he drag me to a bookshop, i will start nagging to get out. very bad hor.
rofl.gif


he asks me whether i intend to read the books before the next movie. im really not sure leh. dun think i can resist the temptation. what do u think?
uhoh.gif
my hubby says reading it will be a spoiler, wun feel so excited since already know what would happen. hmm....

he told me that the fifth book will be out in may03. it's called harry potter and the order of pheonix. he heard that someone will die in this book.
 
alhana,
my hubby emailed this to me......

Facts

These are facts straight from the mouth of J.K. Rowling, and were gathered from numerous online chats with her.


Facts About Book Five


The fifth book will be titled "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
In book five, we go into a whole new area, physically, an area you've never seen before, a magical world
Book five will be scary. Harry finds out a lot of things he hasn't stumbled across so far.
In book five (Harry) has to examine exactly what death means, in even closer ways.
We will see Mr. Weasley's car, Aragog, Dobby and the Dementors again.

Book 5 will be at least as long as Goblet of Fire!
The Dursleys are in the next book, and there's stuff coming with them that people might not expect.
During an interview, when JKR was asked in which Hogwarts room she'd like to be for 1 hour, she said it would be a room in which Harry has been before, but doesn't know its importance. Yet.
It's very important in the plot that Harry has his mother's eyes, and that her wand was very good for charms.
During an interview for Kids BBC, Victor Greensteet (reporter) asked Rowling if Harry would have a dragon for a pet. This is what she replied: "You can't tame a dragon, no matter what Hagrid thinks. It's simply impossible. So no. He has more common sense. He MAY have a different pet in the future, but for now, I won't say anything else".
In the same interview for Kids BBC, the reporter asked J. K. if Harry had ever used the internet, and this is what she had to say: "No. They (the Dursleys) won't let him go near Dudley's computer, and Dudley is the only one who has a computer. They hit him if he gets too near to the keyboard. So the answer would be No. I use it a lot, but Harry doesn't. Wizards don't really need to go on the web. They have an even better way to find out what's happening in the outside world, which I think is a lot more fun than the Internet, but I'm going to keep quiet on this one."
The choice between what's right and what's easy will be a pillar of the plot in Harry's last 3 years.
The "Arabella Figg" Dumbledore refers to at the end of book four is indeed the same Mrs. Figg that takes care of Harry for the Dursleys in book one.
There will be a new sorting hat song.
You'll be seeing Mrs. (Arabella) Figg in book five, and you'll find out all about her.
Harry's parents' profession will be a big part of the plot.
Harry will see the real 'Mad-Eye' Moody in book five.
We will find out why Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter.
Something HUGE will be revealed about Lily Potter.
There will be a female Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher (*coughMRSFIGGcough*)
We'll see Lupin in Book Five. Yes, we will see a lot of old characters in Book Five.
Ginny Weasley will play more of a role in book five.
One of the main characters, one of Harry's "fans" will die (not Ron or Hermione though). The death will be "horrible to write."


General Facts Not Disclosed in the Books


Harry's middle name is "James."
Hagrid, Lily, and James were in Gryffindor. (Hagrid was NOT in Hufflepuff.)
Lily Potter's maiden name was Evans.
There are about a thousand students at Hogwarts. (True, that doesn't seem right, but J.K. said so, and she's the boss.)
James Potter was a Seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Hermione's birthday is September 19th, Ron's is March 1st.
James Potter inherited lots of money, so he didn't need a well-paying profession.
James Potter inherited the invisibility cloak from his father.
Witches and wizards have longer life spans than muggles.
The Gringott's goblins' return the muggle money they they acquire back into circulation.
The approximate value of a Galleon is about five pounds ($7.30 or 8.00 Euro), though the exchange rate varies.
Dumbledore is 150, McGonagall is 70 (and is really an old softy, just doesn't act like it), Snape is 35 or 36.
The happiest people do not become ghosts (therefore we can take it that ghosts are people that died while sad, angry, etc. Myrtle was teased, Nearly Headless Nick didn't have his head completely chopped off, the ****** Baron was...lonely?)
The Hogwarts teachers do not stay at Hogwarts during the Christmas holidays. Filch, Hagrid and Dumbledore do.
To remove Dudley's tail that Hagrid gave him in the hut on the rock the Dursleys went to a private hospital where the staff was very discreet, and said that a wart had got out of control.
Aragog is an Acromantula (see "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them")
Azkaban is in a sea north of the North Sea. A very cold sea.
You can do unfocused and uncontrolled magic without a wand (like when Harry blows up Aunt Marge), but to do really good spells you need a wand.

However, i managed to lose and gain and lose weight for my wedding.... Dunno how i do it..... perhaps it's tension.

My hubby managed to lose weight by either skipping dinner or taking much less for dinner. Lost 5 kgs. Or u can try drinking more water before meals so u would be quite full to overeat for your meals.

Enjoy your Weekend too!
happy.gif


Hear from ya soon!
 
Hi Blossom,

Wow thanks for the Harry Potter trivia. Some I already know, some new stuff. Thanks for posting it
happy.gif


The movie was awesome. U tell me how u find it after u've watched it. I'm impressed and enthralled enough to want to watch it again soon...maybe on Christmas eve :P Arghh..i Wish i cld watch it again NOW! HEhehehe.

HMmm..if I were u, I cldn't wait for the movies to come out b4 I read the books. HEhe..when it comes to good books, I cannot resist. I dun think its a spoiler. It really depends on which medium u prefer, u know what I mean? If u watch the movie first, u sorta spoil the book, and vice versa. I wld rather spoil the movie coz the books are way better IMHO. When reading good books, its already a challenge not to peek at the last chapters to see what happens..so I can't even think of not reading it first
happy.gif
But really, u decide which way u prefer. Honestly, Harry POtter and the Chamber of Secrets was my least favourite among the series, so I think its pretty understandable tt u preferred the movie. But I really love it from the 3rd book onwards. I think u will too!

Alrite, u enjoy the movie. The 3 hrs just flew past in a flash. I'm just disappointed I hafta now wait one year for The Return of the King.
 
hi alhana,
my hubby got those info from a forum.
happy.gif


i watched the movie already. i think it was more exciting than the 1st one. more action and humour. legolas is still as charming....
13639.gif


i dunno whether i can resist not reading the books. i agree the chamber of secrets are rather slow in the book. but i think i enjoyed the movie so i sort of dun mind how slow the book was.
wink.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

The 3rd book of Harry Potter (and the subsequent ones) is quite sinister and dark. I know that a major character is set to die in Book 5..and I think if its any of the characters I love, I'm gonna cry my eyes out!

Yes Legolas has a bigger role now. His banter &amp; camaraderie with Gimli the dwarf was esp funny (like when they were counting the no of Uruk Hai each managed to kill) Elves and dwarves generally don't get along, so its funny to see these 2 fight side by side as a team. This movie tugged at my heartstrings more than the first. I was sad to see the elven archers/warriors die (considering they are an immortal race..their death is somewhat more tragic), the despair of the people in Helm's Deep, the internal struggles of Gollum etc Peter Jackson said the last movie will be the saddest..it'll make people cry. Still can't wait for it to come!
 
alhana,
i finished the 2nd book already. may be starting on the 3rd one soon.
happy.gif


yup, the two towers are much more exciting than the first movie. looking forward for the final one too.
wink.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Ure making v good progress! I bet ure hubby must be v happy with ure progress huh!

I was busy doing last minute x'mas shopping tdy. Left my house at 9+! Early right? But I managed to finish 99% of my shopping by 2pm. So tired. Now still have to wrap my stuff and found out that I don't have enough wrapping paper
sad.gif
Sighhh. How are u spending x'mas?
 
hi alhana,
yup, he's really thrilled by my progress. that was one nite he came out of the bathroom after a bath and saw me reading. he exclaimed and asked,"who are u?!! is that my wife reading??!! she never reads!!!" irritating hor.
lol.gif


wow, u very hardworking. i din buy much things. yesterday was clearing the rubbish in my hse and attended a fren's wedding at nite. sigh! hope i have more time to shop around.
lame.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Same wishes to you and your family
happy.gif
HOpe you have an enjoyable holiday!

Best wishes to all the ex-AHSians too. Happy Holidays!
 
hi everyone

im am just a 16 year old girl who just graduated this year. i happened to drop by this forum .

Mr Toh was my E Maths and A Maths teacher when i was in sec 3 and sec 4. And i have to agree with seagull that although he is loud and fierce, he is still one of the best teachers around. However, sad to say that he is retiring next year.

Mrs Mary Koh is still the Hai Sing principal and she is very dedicated. Mr Cordeiro, who was before her, was as good as her. The recent vice-principal is Mrs Menon.
 
hi ladies,

i'm from hai sing 2. So glad 2 see my seniors n juniors in this forum.
I join hai sing in 1991 when it 1st shifted to Pasir Ris. I was their 1st batch of sec 1 students in pasir ris. :-)

Was glad 2 hear that Mrs Koh is the current principle. I don't like Mr Cordeiro. hahaha
 
It is really nice to see a thread for HS Gals.

Hi Seagull, we shld be classmates. I graduated in 1988 too and Mrs Mary Koh was my Sec 1 form teacher. I attended her wedding in Nativity Church. Heard the news of Mrs Wan, I remembered being called to her office because I tried to 'escape' from one of the excursion when in Sec 2 (can't remember what is that?) . I was a girl guide and I've being to the Pasir Ris school only during the 1st year after it shifted. I was there to attend the campfire by the junior guides. Hehe....really curious to find out who u r!

Remember Mr Toh, very scared when he called my index nos. Mrs Sitoh is the one who has shakey hands &amp; everytime she held the test tubes, we would giggle because so scared that she will hit them &amp; break the tubes.

Yah, I really missed those days in Upper Serangoon Road.

Merry X'mas to all of you &amp; a Happy New Year!
