Merry Christmas, let the hogwarts fire burn!

Went out with huiyu, karen & aaron yesterday, to Golden Village Yishun. It was aaron who asked me out at first if i was doing anything on christmas eve, i replied no, so he asked if I wanted to catch a movie and ask more people along. Thus i asked hui yu karen teck seng & jermaine, the latter 2 were unable to make it due to DRAGON pox & rushing christmas presents respectively. Ah well. Anyway we still had 4 people going for the movie, decided to meet at 9 and catch the 9.45 slot. 

In all propriety, it was a pretty good show, to me at least. I think it would warrant a 3.5/5 stars from me. It wasn't very touching/impactful, but it made me think about a number of things, like how life is never ideal and the way you want it to be, and how a bedtime story seems so perfect when incoorporated into reality. Tobe honest, it also gave me inspiration to pick up the pen and paint a picture for myself. The rest found it ok, or so-so. I thought that the show did a good story out of churning a bedtime story and eclipsing it into real life. We realise that at the end of the movie that the main lead eventually gets what he has worked hard for the past 25 years, rather his whole life. While some people who slog their entire lives may not get what they want, some do get it. How about those that don't then? Does God have a plan for them as well?

I thus think, that there is nothing fair in this world, that both good & bad things can happen to any kind of people, rich poor, kind evil, tall short. Life is unpredictable and changes in the next very second as you count the present. It also brings me to the meaning of celebrating Christmas; everywhere there are people saying merry christmas, and the spirit and mood of the festive season really rubs onto me. It makes my day happy. It makes things appear happier in spite that I have a marketing exam tomorrow. All in all, it just makes me feel happier than what not. So why not celebrate it?

Christmas, no doubt, is the start to a better beginning. I am looking forward to the promise of the year of 2009. Only good things can happen then, and may God bless us all. 

P.S Anticipate my next entry on a reflection of 2008.
