hee hee! from choonping's blog:

"We (Julian, Su-Lin and I) got to talking which class we would excel in at Hogwarts. Julian, of course, would be very good at Arithmancy. Then we thought about what Minzhi would be good at. Runes, said Julian, but Su-Lin will get the A1. Su-Lin acted outraged, but I thought she was secretly pleased."

how i do love you, julian!

so what class would choonping be good at then? i suggested to su-lin that she might like potions, all that chopping and stirring you know, but she says she hates being meticulous, and her being good at cooking means she could just about be a house elf. charms, she decided in the end. powerful and non-messy.

and now von writes: colin goh, i am told, once wrote this:

"If Harry Potter went to school in Singapore he'd learn in potions class that there are two kinds of potions: heaty and cooling."

which is true.
