Will the others see you too?’ asked Lucy.
‘Certainly not at first,’ said Aslan. ‘Later on, it depends.’
‘But they won’t believe me!’ said Lucy.
‘It doesn’t matter,’ said Aslan.

~Prince Caspian; The Chronicles Of Narnia
It had been an eventful day. I had brought my brother out due to the request from my mum that he needs more activities other than sitting around at home staring at the computer. So I brought him out for a game of badminton at Tampines with a group of my church friends, Jess, Zh, Haoyee and Pastor. We had a 2 hours session and even though it was rather exhausting, we kinda enjoyed the workout.
Later had lunch at Subways before heading down to Dhoby Ghaut to meet the rest of the church peeps. It was the largest church movie-goer group I have ever seen. A total of 14 people watching the show! That is easier enough to fill the whole row of seats. We were keen on watching the movie : Prince Caspian, and since I had some free movie passes, I thought i can reduce the cost of every individual ticket. But thanks to Darren-ness in me, I have once again triumphed over myself and forgot to bring the tickets. But I was able to atone for my mistake, after smoking the ticket seller.
Countergirl: "Sir, we would need to see your 14 ICs so as to give you a student concession price of $6."
Mua: "Erm, I have 14 kids, and they are all over the place..Running around; I dont think I can call all of them back"
Countergirl:"... ..."
Mua:"How about you take it I have 14 kids with me?" (glancing over at Joshua, Johnathan and my brother Irving who all happened to be there)
Countergirl:"Erm... ... ok" (YES! ZH, HaoYee and I managed to escape from the additional $2 of adult fare!)
Well.. Technically we are all waiting to go into Uni. We just do not have the concession card with us yet.
Prince Caspian was a great family movie. It had many elements of fantasy (talking mouse and badgers, centaurs and minotaurs) and a sense of humour. You simply feel the characters, making you interact with the show. I guess the only let-down was that it felt too similar to Lord of the Rings, partly because the setup was done in New-Zealand.. and there were many scenes similar to Lord of the Rings (Gothic castles, Walking trees and A river taking a shape of a creature and swallowing up people). I must say however, that the caving in on the ground was an ingenious plan by the movie-maker(or the author himself)
Overall, I would give the show 3.5/5~
