Another week gone.
Why is Time passing so fast? I'm not ready to give up my freedom. I'm not ready to face stress and challenges again, particularly this long-drawn battle of 3-4 years. I'm not ready for University, period.

Deahtly Hallows Part 2 London Premiere
5th July Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere at Trafalgar Square, London was a grand and emotional affair.
Hardcore fans camped out in the rain for more than 3 days to catch a glimpse of their idols and witness the spectacular end of an era. How I wish I could be there amongst them!
There is the longest red carpet for the actors/actresses to walk on and this premiere got to be the biggest that London has ever seen. Indeed, the aerial shots of the place are magnificent.
Like what the stars had say, it was truly breath-taking and humbling to see the droves of fans who grow up with the movies and books and make this franchise so successful.
Watching part of the live coverage and later, the replay online, across the world is marvellous. I never will thank the invention of Internet until then. I can literally feel the excitement and elation of fans and I did get teary-eyed when Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and J.K. Rowling made their thank-you speeches.
It's so bittersweet. Something like this phenomenal will never happen again, not in this lifetime and age. I don't want to make it sound so "end-of-the-world-ish" but the feelings evoked can almost never be felt again.
I reckon in the later part of life, you will grow desensitized and jaded that anything will just be a passing fad.
This premiere, which I have the good fortune to witness, will go down in history and etch itself in the minds of fans and maybe stars for many years to come. When we grow nostalgic, perhaps, we can look back and relive the moments.
It was certainly a fitting send-off to the greatest movie franchise of all time, the highest grossing series ever, and of course, to the actors/actresses who bought imagination to the big-screen and J.K. Rowling, where none of these will happen if not for her brillance and putting pen to paper.
Thank you.
