Harry Potter mania...

I was sooooo tempted. So tempted. I was thhhiiiiiss "| |" close to joining other Potter maniacs at KLCC in the wee hours of the morning. Kinokuniya Bookstore would have opened at 5.30am to release the 7th book: "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows". And they were going to give out 3 exclusive autographed book and 10 (without autograph) books away for free, nevertheless! I'll bet some maniacs were there by 3am or maybe the night before!

Darn it! I WANT the book! I waaannnntttt itttt!!! I want! I want! I want! Hmmm, okay. I have thus vented out my WANT! Now, I can get on with life. Of course,...*sigh*...it would be much better if I had a copy of the book! But Gambateyoh! I shall wait until the price falls from its ridiculous pedestal.

I wonder how thick it would be this time. Thicker than before? Then I can decide on whether to buy hardcover or paperback. Like the multitudes of Potter fans, I wonder how it all ends. Who dies? Is it Harry? Ron? Hermione?

I knowww... I am bordering on obsession for a mere book meant (as most adults believe) for children. But who cares! It is a fuel to the imaginative minds out there. It is entertainting and a fantasy that you want to belong to even as a means of escapism. As Rufus Wainwright said: "Let the little fairy in you fly”. Ok, I know his name is Rufus - not a name you'd want to name your son - but still, think about what he said. By the way, he is a Canadian singer-songwriter from a family of singer-songwriters.

Most adults have lost their ideals in joining many others on a hollow search for material wealth; title and power. They have lost the precious childlike quality, the only link that keeps them in touch with all things pure like trust, affection, love, compassion, humanity... untainted by manipulations and evil designs. Adults should not be embarassed to show that they still have that unique side in them. Well, that's that! And each to his or her own ideals, I guess. Whom am I to dictate what makes a human.

*Sigh*... Anyways, I did wonder if I could bribe my sister into queing up at KLCC to get the book for me, while I get my sleep before going off to work. Lol!... Just thought to give the idea a try! Didn't work though. Well, so long, Harry Potter! I'll read you soon, hopefully!

I wonder... I wonder if anyone I know have bought the book already? Hmmm, maybe I could borrow from them for the time being. I wonder, I wonder...
