Reliving The Childhood in Star Dust and Fairy Tales

Its at end of the work week once again.. yipee! *excited* whoopie! I don't really have any exciting activity planned later in the evening, except to catch Harry Potter. I'm a little lagging in catching the "hottest" shows in town, yes. But then again, who cares!

Its a movie booking frenzy today - I booked Harry Potter for tonight, Aeon Flux for tomorrow afternoon and Chronicles of Narnia for the 23rd.

I'm looking forward to Chronicles of Narnia... I've been reading CS Lewis since I was a little. I remembered the hardcover books -- they were red, green and yellow. I think the last is Yellow.. i can't really remember now. And, I am wondering now if they've got a third book on that.. gasp! I can't remember. As far as my memory can reach, I can only remember reading the green and red ones... yes, I sometimes recognise the books by the colour of its covers. Not the clever-est thing to do really. But.. what do you expect for a 6 year old ??? You can't really tell a 6 year old about publications and how mercenary publishing companies stealing money from brilliant writers.

Anyway, I love the Snowqueen... I remembered Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve, I remember the Lion... I remember in one chapter on mirrors, and characters turning into glass (I think its this book). But all of which, I remembered that while reading it, I could see the white, white snow.. as far as I could see... There was alot of snow, but yet, I didn't understand the concept of feeling blue to the boot. I remembered reading page after page, being excited and hoping that I'll reach the end of the book soon, as the pages of un-read portion grew thinner which each frentic flipping... another thought crept in... that means that my enjoyment for the book will end soon too. 2 opposites of a feeling. It was weird. But I kept reading. When I reached to the end of the story, I read them all over again. I enjoy reading CS Lewis. I find fantasy, fairy tales .. talking creatures, gold dust, magic, unicorns, flying creatures, and children who enjoy themselves. The evil, and good was something that I could comprehend, and like every fairy tale, goodness won.

I love Narnia. It is something that I have brought from my childhood... I manage to catch the thriller many moons before, and got really excited that CS Lewis will be made into a movie. I do hope that it'll be as good as the book. Well, even if it isn't, I reckon that its enough for one kid who found her childhood in fairy tales, star dust and unicorns. I am happy. (",)
