Off To The Magical World of Narnia









I was feeling rather upset yesterday. Upset about something that has been bothering me lately. However, towards the end of the day I felt great. Great because I have decided to escape to the magic land and be with the spirits of the trees, mythological woodland creatures, the kings and queens of the past in The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian. The movie was simply awesome like expected. I think it has been more than two years since I watched The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The kids have really grown. Peter looks more mature, Susan and Lucy seem to be taller and Edmund…hmmm he looks more and more like Kevin!! Wonder where he is now, are you in Russia still Kev?

Anyways, like I said earlier the movie is simply awesome. The four siblings return to Narnia only to find that everyone and everything they knew before have all been dead and destroyed. They have returned after 1300 years they left Narnia. The kingdom is ruled by Lord Miraz who has murdered his own brother and tries to stop Prince Caspian, his nephew from becoming the ruler. So these kings and queens of the past have returned to help displace Prince Caspian back to Narnia’s throne in order for the magic land to gain peace as before. Oh yes, the special effects are overwhelming. The friendly spirits, the moving trees, the giant-form-like water, the warrior rats, centaurs…everything, even Aslan the Lion seems so real.

Nevertheless, I feel that some of the scenes are not suitable for children. What I mean is the fighting scenes. Even though there is no sign of blood in the fighting, it clearly indicates some hatred and vengeance. I suppose that is why the movie is rated under PG- Parental Guidance. Some explanations and clarifications are needed if you have the little ones to watch the movie as well.

Whatever it is, I have enjoyed very much transporting myself to the land of Narnia where the fantasy comes to real on the big white screen. My ratings would be 4 out of 5 stars.

Indiana Jones movie…well, still on hold :)

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama
