My God! It’s been two weeks since I last updated my blog, and oh my, has the world changed!
First, and perhaps most importantly, my blog has received 4,000 hits already!
This means that either 4,000 people came to my blog, got disgusted and left straightaway, I’ve been subconsciously refreshing my blog obsessively, or five of my friends have read my blog a few hundred times each.
No matter what the true scenario is, I am really happy and proud. I have no idea why, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it may be because these numbers kinda stroke one’s ego.
Anyway, I mentioned that the world has changed drastically during these two weeks, and I think it may be due to the release of that Harry Potter book. The book was released at midnight on the 21st July and I heard it sold a few million copies within the first day.
Gee, I hope that timing doesn’t hurt their sales!
The latest installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has Hermoine breaking Harry’s wand by accident while they were alone in the forest.
Besides this, Harry also battles that big bad guy called Voldemort and finally defeats him with – oh wait, does anyone really cares?
Oh and talking about this Potter chap, he apparently has a movie out in the theaters too. It is called Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and is once again about Harry battling this guy called Voldemort.
I think the fights between Harry and Voldemort is quite a central theme to this series. What do you think?
Anyhow, I’ve seen this movie, and oh my god, was it entertaining! Harry thrills the audience by performing lots of card tricks and coin tricks. Somehow, he always knows what card the audience picks!
Harry fever has affected some people badly though. When I was watching the movie in the theater, someone had a relapse of ‘Harry Fever’, stood up, and flashed his wand around.
That aside, it was a wholesome family experience.
Here’s a video I captured from the big screen with my camera:
On the topic of videos, have you guys seen the new video by Osama bin Laden?
I’ve watched it, and you guys should do that too. I think you can sign up for this service with Starhub Cable or something, and they’ll play all the latest terrorist videos for you. I mean, with all the price-hikes, they’ll have to add some value to their line-up!
Anyway, the video was very disturbing. This guy is a maniacal pest to all humans, and there was a lot of pointless ranting and empty threats made to everyone who hates him. Oh wait, am I talking about Steven Lim or Osama bin Laden? I get confused easily.
I think it’s time for some good news. These feel good sections seem to be a recurring theme of my blog in recent posts, hmm. Oh well.
My big-headed friend, Wilson, recently showed me this Youtube link of an artist named Marie Digby (Mar-ree-eh Dig-bee, I think).
Marie is an up-and-coming singer/songwriter who has posted videos of herself of Youtube. In these videos, she plays either a piano or a guitar, and sings covers of immensely popular songs.
Does it sound clichéd to you so far? Well, here’s the twist. Marie sings while doing a headstand.
Nah, I’m kidding.
Seriously though, Marie has bags of talent. She is an eye-pleaser, and her vocals are smooth and sincere. Not only can she sing and play at the same time, she even writes her own songs. I think that’s why she calls herself a songwriter.
Well, here’s a video of her performing a song she wrote:
Pretty impressive huh?
I have to admit that I can’t write a song to save my life. The last time I tried to write a song, it turned out to be a disaster. It went somewhere along the lines of:
I am your part-time lover;
Sometimes loving;
Sometimes working;
Other times sleeping.
Needless to say, nobody really liked it.
