First Blood

With the advance sales for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 now on, it's a race against time to secure the best seats.

Alas, I blamed the stars for giving me a test on the day of release of the movie, a test which I could not get out of.

This just means I can't go for Harry Potter Marathon, the once-in-a-lifetime movie event that last a day long with the showcase of all 8 movies. This is like a dream come true, except I am not part of it. How many times will this happen again? Never.

There will never be another release day for Harry Potter and like Time, once it passes, it's gone. It's never coming back again.

Marathon aside, I get really uncomfortable as I watch the seats filled up, given that I have not made a single booking. There is no one to suit my timing!

There's no way I will not watch it on the day of release, that is not negotiable. I have to watch it on 14th July, right after my test. If I have to watch it by myself, so be it. It's unfortunate I can't find people to accompany me. I'm more flexible with second or third showings.

I can't stand reading all those "oohing" and "ahhhing" by fans and the rapid discussions going on with me not knowing anything. Being spoilt is one thing, being in the unknown is worse.

I'm the kind of person who like to draw first-blood in things, especially things that I like. And I never do things by halves, if I love something, I will give it my all.

So, 14th July, here I come, test is secondary.
