HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD. For those of us who thought that our Harry Potter adventure has ended, that we are doomed to re-read over and over again, revising the words that have already been committed to memory, the release of the Cursed Child is like a glass of water in a never-ending desert. One glass that we know will only starve off the thirst for awhile, but we are nonetheless thankful for. You can read more (and watch some videos) about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the following sites: https://www.pottermore.com/cursed-child http://www.telegraph.co.uk/theatre/what-to-see/harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child---everything-you-need-to-know/ http://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/harry-potter/feature/a655261/everything-you-need-to-know-about-harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child-opening-date-tickets-plot-and-more/ And then if you are shocked that Hermione Granger is not Emma Watson: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/theatre/what-to-see/harry-potter-fans-rejoice-at-casting-of-black-actress-to-play-ad/ I assure you that the last link makes it easier to wrap your head around the idea. I'm personally extremely intrigued by Albus Potter and the "Expectations" that are put on him, more than the fact that Harry is a struggling overworked Ministry employee (Though we all can relate to that, not very magical). Remember at the previous ending where Albus asked Harry what if he were put into Slytherin, and Harry said that the Sorting Hat recognises your choice? In retrospect, that might been the hint about the darkness that many readers are interested about. That inner struggle of light and darkness that many of us face, because we're simply too cynical to believe in single-sided fairy tales anymore. Also, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy!!! Hyperion the book publishing company?? Or Hyperion in Greek Mythology? Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, Hyperion (/haɪˈpɪərɪən/; Greek: Ὑπερίων, "The High-One") was one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky or Heaven) who, led by Cronus, overthrew Uranus and were themselves later overthrown by the Olympians. With his sister, the Titaness Theia, Hyperion fathered Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn).[1] Does Scorpius and Albus re-enact the childhood vendetta that their fathers have? Do they turn out to be friends? Does Scorpius have his fathers' (albeit cowardly) goodness that is probably deep deep inside, as well as his mother's take on magical life? Astoria refused to raise her child in the belief that Muggles (and likely Muggle-borns, half-bloods and Squibs as well) were scum and, as a result, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy found her a somewhat disappointing daughter-in-law; family gatherings were, as a result, often fraught with tension. It is unknown what her husband Draco's reaction was to this, but given that he also was sobered by his own terrible experience during the Second Wizarding War, it is possible that he secretly approved of it.

Price off shelf is around $39 I think, pre-book prices at Popular Bookstores are... Lemme check the receipt. $35.91 including $2.35 GST. Pre-orders are filling up fast if you're interested (save $5 and the queue?). I mentioned this book to my friend who has a Primary 4 daughter, and she says she tried to make a pre-order but they were full. Oh Wells. Love <3 We've finally gone physical! And honestly it's been an amazing experience so far (and yes, thankfully we opted to pay an extra $10 for the electricity access. So i can use my laptop, can allow people to pay using our website, can write a blog entry and we can charge our phones haha.) But so far people choose to go to an ATM to draw cash, so i need to use the laptop to do other things haha. The event looks great! Looks beautiful and sunny ^^ We're like directly in front of the organisers, close to the 45R on the right side, and we had this crisis earlier where they sun shone directly at us at 2pm >.< Our Japanese Hokkaido Melon Kit-Kat turned into this Wafer-in-the-middle-of-melon-sauce thing, and I was so afraid that my laptop was going to explode from the heat. If you're at the event for our giveaway or lucky draw, and you cant find us (Someone went to the organiser behind us to ask for the gift bag. Err, the gift bag is from us. Not Fleawhere.) ; we look like this: That's my Chanel brooch there. No it does not come with the Elle $48 dress that's selling at $42 these 2 days. Most of the people we met at the Maker's market have been nice. And we've been so happy meeting all the people who came to collect their gift bags. To clarify, the gift bags are packed to have at least 5 items. The items inside are varied (other than the fact that each bag has a tank top inside). Some bags we added extra items to make them more equal in value, like if the earring is simpler we might throw in an additional hair accessory or facial products or something. So actually we won't allow people to ask for a change of the items inside nor pick and choose from different bags. Sigh. We need to be fair to everyone yeah? And it's free. You don't get to be choosy when it's free haha xD Partial batch of gift bag packing by us elves: Is it OCD of me to notice that the bb cream on the extreme right of the picture is placed on the wrong side :/ Oh wells. It's going to be an awesome Saturday! <3
FINALLY.We're bringing the apparel and business off just being on the web and into the physical realm! (sounds so magical). This flea is our first ever. We're not just going to give 110%, we've probably given like 850% or something. When we first decided to take a booth at the flea we were just thinking that people could finally tell the difference between the Thailand/Shenzhen/Guangzhou-imported goods, and the premium quality of our products. We've done these:
And the best part is, all our gift items are NOT sponsored. We are either gifting accessories that we have stocked to sell, or have specially went out (and overseas) to buy these items to gift in the gift bags and lucky draw. Completely sincere, 100% authenticity. We have spent so much to try to make you happy, hopefully you will be. We're going to be here: Capitol Piazza (Outdoor Plaza) 09 & 10 July 2016 Saturday & Sunday 1:00pm to 9:00pm 11 Stamford Rd, Singapore 178884 |
