Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Got the book at about 7am yesterday (after our half yearly shopping trip to Next at 5am) and start reading when we got home. Spent whole of yesterday reading the book and I finished it at about 11pm. It was worth reading!!!
No review to avoid revealing any spoiler.

Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix
I'm a big Harry Potter fan! So we watched this movie yesterday at VUE (long time since we been to the cinema). How I wish the movie was longer as they have cut quite a few bits from the books. Despite that I still love the movie as while I was reading the book previously, I kept thinking how it will look like and now I get to see it in the movie, everything fits!
I admire JK Rowling for her imagination and creativity of the Harry Potter books, especially for 12 Grimmauld Place. The books are definitely worth reading and to keep.
Now, I'm waiting for book 7, as said in my previous post, I had ordered it from Amazon which I should be able to receive the book on Monday (23 Jul) but I doubt I can wait till Monday. So I decided to drive to Tesco very early on Sat (21 Jul) to get a copy. As for the spare copy from Amazon, I will try to sell it on Ebay, if any of you wants it, please email me and I can bring it back to SG this coming August.

Blueberry Cupcakes
Bought this Pre a Manger recipe book and tested out the blueberry muffins early this morning. I don't have muffins tray so made blueberry cupcakes instead. The recipe is great, the texture of the cake is just right and the recipe for the toppings makes it sooo much like those muffins you buy in sandwich shops (crispy on the top). Hmmmmm......delicious....
