Watched Chronicles of Narnia 2day. It wuz incredible. C.S Lewis is a complete genius!! The whole story was so magical, wildly imaginative n juz unbelievable. Seriously. After the movie, i felt so dazed i couldn't think straight.
Lyk, how could the kidz juz stay in Narnia for so many years?? Until they're all grown up?! And juz suddenly, they stumble back into the real world n it becomes all like a dream? And they have no way back in? So Narnia is like, kingless n queenless there after??
So where exactly is the POINT of the whole fighting-the-snow-queen thing?
I discussed it with daddy on the way back, n we've decided that the whole Narnia experience was really all in the imagination of the four kidz. It could be real. No one will ever know. Point is, they were there, n everything felt real to them.
They survived. And they learnt.
They learnt about betrayer, the love of kinship, n most importantly, courage.
And the moral of the story seems to be revolving around the imagination of children. Sometimes we shouldn't be too absorbed in reality. We need to chill out at times n juz imagine.
It reminded me of the time when i wuz still a child. I used to imagine being captured by bad ppl and fighting to save myself. Then i'll pretend with barbie dolls, makin up stories n acting them out with the toys.
It all seemed real at that time, n sometimes, i could almost see everything happening in front of my eyes, as if i were watching a movie. After Jamie came, we started buildings "houses" out of blankets n chairs, pretending we were magical animals that could talk n we would visit each other n have adventures.
Then during my P6 year, i suddenly lost interest in pretending. At first i thought i wuz juz tired, but the excitement of imagining things never came back.
Now, that memory is fading away, n i can't imagine things as well as i could.
My very wise english teacher once said, the power of a child is that he could imagine, and that is one thing grown ups cannot do.
Suddenly, i feel upset again, becoz back when i could imagine stuff, my dayz were glorious, and i was never really truly sad.
But then i remember.
I can still imagine now, juz not in real life.
I can still fantasise n day dream, and sometimes they become so real i almost believe them.
I love lying in the bed for hrs, juz makin up a world called Kastilda, where dark and light magic were constantly at war. I made up this really lovely character called Jessie, who went to this world and the portal vanished, leavin her stranded there.
Then there was this guy called Jason, n they had amazing adventures together.
This is how i started writing my series of books called The Magicator.
The main character, Jessie, is real.
Or at least real in my mind.
Jessie is someone who has grown up with me since i was only seven.
She has changed personalities several times, but she was really the same deep down inside. She is everything i want to be, but cannot be.
I am not mentally retarded.
I swear.
I juz have a wilder imagination.
It never really went away.
Even after my childhood.
So to those who are proof reading my book now, i hope u're having fun in Kastilda, and for those who haven't read it, i hope you'll try it one day.
It is my imagination in reality.
So anyway, daddy and i were talkin.
And i mentioned abt missing my childhood. He agreed and said that in different phrases of our lives, we experience different things. We alwayz want to grow up faster when we're little, but when we get old, we wish time would slow down.
So the best solution is to juz simply treasure every day of your present life n make full use to it.
WARNING:
The below contents are some personal thoughts. Not meant to be taken too seriously by anyone.
Childhood, is about havin fun n being innocent.
Teenhood, is about building up our intellect for the future as well as shaping up our character to prepare ourselves for university. Of course, teenhood is also about havin a healthy n active social life, n working towards our dream.
Early adulthood, is about stepping into the real working society n possibly havin a family n thinkin abt the kidz's future.
Adulthood, is about preparing for the kidz' education n earning enough money to support the family n takin care of our parents.
Retirement, is about chilling out n reflecting on what has happened in our lives, enjoying what the world has to offer n to take up healthy activities to keep us going.
Life, is about being thankful for what we have been blessed with, doin everything with a smile to glorify Him, and simply preparing ourselves for the day when we'll meet him. All these achieved by reading the bible and constantly praying.
Hmm... ok.
