QY's birthday

Another birthday friend-QY in this month. I planned to throw her a surprise on 20th. Together with me, ST, KY, CF and Lionel, we celebrated this special occasion in the Garden Cafe, Mid Valley

The ambiance is pretty comfortable with the songs played by the pianist.. The decoration of the place is exactly like the western concept. But what I dislike is their management. We were informed that they don't accept reservation during weekends. But we saw most of the tables are being reserved.

Back to where we are... Our table was filled with lots of laughter that night especially the birthday girl.. She kept on teasing Lionel's elephant key chain.. Lionel insisted his elephant is BIG but everyone mentioned LITTLE elephant..
Lionel's little elephant... Big or little??
We celebrated QY's birthday for the first time. Sing a song and cut cake.. A small kid also joined us singing happily.. Pretty cute boy..

Cutie kid..

When it's time to leave the place, Lionel offered us a ride even though I drove my dad's car (I parked my car quite far away from the mall). I wish to say "Thank you" for being such a kind-hearted friend... =)


 Happy moments together...
I hope QY enjoy her birthday celebration and everyone has a great time.. ^.^

Grow Up Another Year

How I wish I can slow down the time on my birthday cause I wish spending more time to do what I wish to do.

Previous two Sundays, my friends threw me a birthday celebration at Purple Cane Tea Restaurant, Mid Valley. For the first time we had Chinese Food. The table had half of roaster duck, a pot of bak kut teh, prawns, vegetable and tau fu. I would rank the food for 4 out of 5 stars. ^^

When time comes, a cake would be blew and cut.. Hehe.. I like the layer cake.. Also, they gave me presents which really out of my expectation!! Actually my only gift that I hope is to watch the movie, "Harry Potter" and they did realise my wish but the presents are really a big surprised.. A big "THANK YOU" to my friends-Ah Gor, ST, KY, CF and QY.

Talking about Harry Potter, the last part of the last Chapter. 
The part talks about the live and dead battle between Harry Potter and Voldemort. Voldemort is trying to find the Elder Wand whereas Harry, Ron and Hermione are finding ways to get and destroy the Horcruxes.

Harry guesses that Voldemort has a Horcrux stored in Bellatrix’s vault, since she seemed so worried about it, and he persuades Griphook the goblin to help him break into the vault. With Griphook’s help, Harry, Ron, and Hermione break in and steal the Hufflepuff Cup from the vault, then escape on the back of a dragon.

Harry learns from a vision of Voldemort’s that the final Horcrux is at Hogwarts, so they travel to the nearby village of Hogsmeade. There they meet Aberforth, Dumbledore’s brother, who helps them get into Hogwarts through a painting by summoning Neville Longbottom, who has been organizing meetings of Dumbledore’s Army in the hidden Room of Requirement. Harry asks the members of the D.A., who are all his supporters, if they can think of an important item associated with the school, hoping such an item might be the final Horcrux. The Ravenclaw students tell him about the lost diadem of Ravenclaw.
While Harry looks for the diadem, the professors and students of Hogwarts rally to his defense, having been warned that Voldemort is on his way. Voldemort and his followers attack the school in a great battle, and Harry finds and destroys the diadem Horcrux.

Harry witnesses Voldemort murdering Snape in order to take possession of Dumbledore’s powerful wand (since Snape killed Dumbledore, Snape is presumably the wand’s true master until someone kills him). Before he dies, Snape gives Harry his memories, extracted for viewing in the Pensieve.
Harry goes to the Pensieve in the headmaster’s office and views the most important moments of Snape’s life. He learns that he has been completely mistaken about Snape, who loved Harry’s mother, Lily Potter, his whole life. Snape had spent his entire adult life spying on Voldemort for Dumbledore and working to protect Harry.

From one of Snape’s conversations with Dumbledore, Harry learns that there’s a piece of Voldemort’s soul inside him (Harry is in fact the final Horcrux), and that he will have to let Voldemort kill him before Voldemort can die. He goes into the forest and lets Voldemort kill him, then wakes up in a dreamlike version of King’s Cross train station, where Dumbledore meets him and tells him that he hasn’t died, and that the protective charm Lily Potter placed on Harry is kept alive inside of Voldemort, because Voldemort used Harry’s blood to reconstitute himself. Thus, Voldemort could not kill Harry, and Harry can now go back and finish him off.

Voldemort takes Harry, whom he believes to be dead, back to Hogwarts to demand its surrender. The students and teachers defy Voldemort, and Neville uses the Sword of Gryffindor to kill the giant snake, Nagini, which was the last Horcrux keeping Voldemort invulnerable. A final battle erupts, and Harry reveals that he’s still alive, going on to kill Voldemort in a duel.

In an Epilogue set nineteen years later, Harry is married to Ginny and is sending their children to Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione are married, and their families are both thriving.

Luckily, the author, JK Rowling, didn't end the story by sacrificing Harry.. If not, all the readers would be disappointed.. Haha..

On the next day, I had another surprised. My colleague told me, "Sook Yee, please come to the meeting room." Looking at the time, it was 5.30pm. I was puzzling, "What meeting are we going to discuss". Getting myself ready with a notebook and walked into the room. I was feeling embarrassed that all of them were waiting for me to blow and cut the cake.

At night, I had a wonderful dinner with my parents in Chinese stall. That's how I spent my day.

Found my Favourite Books

Colleagues have been talking about the book fair at YMCA, KL. I also heard of this event so we promised to go together.

Yesterday we went to the place after working. The place was filled up with variety of books but all are in English. Looking at the prices are also attractive too.. Price of book is cost less than RM10. You could even get RM8 for 3 books!! Sound pretty worthy right? Haha.. However, all the books are second hand. If you are lucky, you still could get a book as new as before.. I saw all this and start wondering where should I begin my search.. Hehe.. 

I was trying to get some detective books. Last time I read all the series of Famous Five by Gnid Blyton. Now, I'm happy to get another famous detective stories, Nancy Drew. Also, ghost stories were written by Stephen King and RL Stine. So, I managed to get it. =D Haha.. I walked home with a big smile.. ^^

Meantime, my colleagues bought famous fictions ie. Chronicles of Nania-The Last Nephew and The Lord of the Ring-The Two Tower.

Hurray.. I could spend my free time on books again.. ^^
