My name is Sarah. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, I watch way more TV shows than is good for me (and my layout constantly changes to fit the TV show I like the most), I'm an avid fanfic reader/writer, I prefer fictional historical romance as in comparison to any other type of fiction, I used to collect the "Nancy Drew" series, my favourite colour is a cross between blue and green and etc... I think internet life > real life.

This is my livejournal and it is 'Friends Only'. (Most of the time at least.) I try to keep fandom stuff, fanfics and pimpages public. But if for some reason you want to know more about my life, feel free to comment to this post to tell me why you want to friend me (or at least just tell me your name and rec a TV show or something) and I will, more often than not, friend you back. =D

But... Make sure that you're not:

i) a stalker
ii) a spammer
iii) a lurker
iv) someone whom I have no similarities with.

Don't worry! I don't bite.

...much.

LJ Title, Subtitle and F-page Title are taken out of "I Know, You Know" by The Friendly Indians. I do not, in any way, own the brilliance.

If in 2012 the world were to end, I want to die in Club Med, Bintan Island. The people and the food here are tres amazing. XD

Just telling everyone that I'm still alive and kicking. Just not on LJ. =( Having a quite well-deserved holiday now at Indonesia, but still miss you guys a lot!

Some of you on my f-list may or may not know about my once deep hatred for vending machines which stems from the fact that I never have enough small change and the fact that I don't see much of them around.

You know what? I take back all the bad things I said about vending machines. They are like my best friends now. I practically live on them. When I miss breakfast, what do I do? Go down the elevator, out of Hall B (where I stay) and turn right and hey, there's a sandwich vending machine that sells really good curry chicken sandwich! When I'm thirsty and dying for a cold drink after a long walk back to the hostel, what do I do? I walk straight pass the hostel office and hey presto! There's a can drink vending machine waiting just for me. If I want some fruits after dinner, what do I do? There's a fruit vending machine next to the sandwich vending machine down my hall. XD

My life is good with vending machines. =) How are you people on my f-list?

(Not officially breaking my hiatus yet -because with my luck, I'll most probably jinx it-, but I'm around now and I hope to be around more often. =D)

Firstly, I am no longer in Malaysia. I am now in Singapore. And S'pore life is totally not what I had expected which means that I am no longer equipped with the load of extra time I had to go online as I used to anymore. Regretfully, I am calling a hiatus on my LJ as I think it's probably the only webpage outside of my email that I check on all the time. (For those of you that follow me on Twitter, you'd also notice that I'm cutting on that a lot as well.)

Now, a little update on life.

In other news, I'm going on a hiatus till idk when. I have to check out this hostel I'm going to and if there's Internet connection. (Blek.)

Finally got round to watching "Beyond A Reasonable Doubt". I've been wanting to watch that movie since I found out that there was going to be a remake of the 1956 classic. I've never watched the 1956 version, of course, but I've heard only good things about it. So glad I watched it today because the plot was so frigging awesome there isn't even any words that could do justice to it!

I know I am supposed to be hiatus. But I can be forgiven. XD Breaking my hiatus to squee a little with a themed list that is...
 
( If you were filled with more awesomeness, you would implode. True story. )</div>

Lastly... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BECKY! I feel like a Becky fangirl right now. XD

I know I haven't been updating much. Real life is being a real nucisance. Here's a quick update, though:

• Assignment for dramione_duetsent! Phew.
• Major exam coming up. Will be on hiatus for some time ('bout a week or so if I can stand it?) starting Wednesday, I think.
• No time for detailed review, but Merlin 2.03, HIMYM 5.02 and Castle 2.02 were all awesome.
• Bought a new book, but no time for reading. Hmmm... =(
• M&Ms are larger than life. *sighs*
• ASEAN. Gah. Idk what to say.

What have I missed from you guys?

So many awesome things happened in "The Once and Future Queen"! I really wasn't going to write a review, but I couldn't help it!

( Spoiler-ish to the extreme... )
