A Session of Catching Up (i.e. Gossiping)

I need to change my gym schedule...

I've tried joining step on Tuesdays at The Curve, I love step, especially free-style step, but that class is at 8.30pm and with little bro being SO generous, the class is often more than an hour. I like my current Monday schedule - combat + pump so don't feel like changing that... Though I found that Monday workout would drain almost all my energy, which I think is because I've lately started with playing squash on Sunday. In conclusion, Tuesdays have to be light workout only, if I want to workout at all, since I will be working out on Saturday, Sunday and Monday... anyways... my original plan of resting on Tuesdays might not work (so I'm sticking to light cardio on Tuesdays) because I found out today that Tuesday will be a good day to catch up with Shen when she gyms at MML, like today... in fact, Farid was there too... Had a good gossip session, some catching up and thank you Kak Nini and Shen for the presents (love the light-blue-rather-sexy-size 8-top and the cookies recipe book). We all agreed that Umbridge in the latest Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix strongly resembles my devil ex-boss.

Almond biscotti sounds like a good idea...

Anyways... talking about Harry Potter... (stop reading here if you've not seen it and don't' want to know) got a few sms from MasterChef already even before I went to watch the movie, the review was the movie is great and very impressive... so, I really felt that due to those reviews, I had a rather high expectation, therefore, felt a bit disappointed that the movie was just "ok". It's definitely better than the previous episode - more magical (yes, I had to agree), a few new casts which fit aptly for the various characters and better effects. I felt that, however, the movie lacking some really "wow" factor. One thing that touched me most was the appearance of Serius Black, the moment I saw that character, my eyes just couldn't help but well up with tears because I knew he's going to die at the end of the story. Harry Potter was not as annoying as in the book (he was just so bad tempered and reckless in the book); If I remember correctly (lazy to go dig out the book to "research" on this) the one who reported the DA was not Cho Chang, but another kid name erm... Z something... because Hermione had a spell that did something to the person who betrayed the club; I remember the twins causing more havoc than those shown in the movie; They didn't even show the mirror Serius gave Harry as a present, that really made me cry when I read the book...

Now... Harry Potter finale to look forward to, everyone said they planned to stay in so they can gobble up the book in one go... and some people are that kiasu - planning to collect the book at 7.01am this Saturday... well, I'm just gonna wake up as usual and so what if I'm one or two chapter behind... haha...

Secretly, I'm actually very worried - Would I have enough time to read the book given how busy work is lately??!! Arghhhh........
