Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Bi and me went to watch Prince Caspian last night.

The movie itself doesn't feel as magical as the first movie. The tress doesn't sing anymore. All in all, its quite depressing. I appreciate the dry humour by DLF (Dear Little Friend) and the mouse, of course.

I was quite surprised that there are quite a few Malays there. Coz it's well known that the Chronicles of Narnia written by C.S.Lewis is quite biblical. One of my friend just told me that Aslan is actually Jesus. It's his name and that Jesus is also known as the Lion of Judas. I believe what my friend had told me as he is a devout Christian. (I don't know all these as I am still a Buddhist)

Bi asked me last night after the movie, why don't Aslan come out and help them in the first place? So I told him "If you don't believe in him, how does he help you?"

And the scene about the face of the water (when there was a big tidal of wave rushing towards all those telemarines)....... there's just no surprise there. Its easy to see whose face that was based on. Am I the only one who notice the resemblance? Or am I just dreaming?

Anyway, The Chronicles of Narnia is a great read. All 6 of them. It teaches you things if you just read between the lines. Faith. Hope. Believe. I believe that good things will come if you just have faith and hope.

Anyone read the book by Philip Pullman (at least I think its spelled this way). He likes to antagonize C.S.Lewis. I have also read his books. You might remember his first movie-book adaptation, The Golden Compass. You can see the differences in the 2 straight away. In Golden Compass, people have daemons (pronounced as demons), which is a reflection of themselves. Simple observation but it says a lot about the writings of both authour.

If I have the time, I'll dig out all the Chronicles of Narnia and re-read them. Its been about a year since I last read them and my recollections are not that strong anymore.

the makers of Prince Caspian kept to the original story better than i would have expected... i had heard they were going to make it into a silly pure-action flick, but thankfully this was not so much the case

There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Unveiling

I was so excited yesterday. Someone called and told me that it was ready for pick up. What is ready for pick up? What makes me so excited? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What else would make me so excited other than cars? Woo Hoo!!!!! Subaru Impreze STi !!!! How cool is that? Bi fetched me yesterday around 5pm to pick up the car. I could not sit still at home. Was feeling so excited. STi has 3 settings, Intelligence, Sport and Sport Sharp. I read an article online saying that the Intelligence mode makes the STi crawls like a snail. Hmmmm, their exact words not mine. So Bi and me took the car out for a short drive. We were kinda disappointed with the power. It was then we realised that the setting was at intelligence. OMG!!!! When we changed the settings to Sport Sharp, the power is unbelievable. Its like 3 times faster and more powerful. We hit 180 km/h in less than 2 minutes (mite be less if not for those few turtles on the road). In the past S15 will need quite some time to hit 16...

After you by Jojo Moyes

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...
