Where is Humpty Dumpty?

July 26th, 2007

A strange thought suddenly crossed my mind. Where is Humpty Dumpty? :o

For the longest time, I was under the impression that Humpty Dumpty is a character in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Even as I was half-way through the book, I was expecting to meet (or rather Alice to meet) Humpty Dumpty soon.

But it never happened! I reached the end of the book. Nothing. No Humpty Dumpty. After a little bit of reading up, I learnt that there is a sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that is called Through the Looking Glass. Humpty Dumpty shows up in that book. Now that’s another book I have to read.

Alice in Wonderland

July 25th, 2007

When I had read Alice in Wonderland as part of school work, I had thought it was absurd. So I decided to give it another shot.

This time round, I quite liked the book. Somewhere in the book, Alice complains, “Its really dreadful, the way all the creatures argue.” Although that is true, I found that the conversations in the book quite resemble my own conversations with others. In that sense, I managed to see the point in the pointlessness of it all. It is a mystery to me why this book is considered as a children’s book.

PS – It just occurred to me that it might be a nice idea to have a ride called Alice in Wonderla.

Alright, so I’m done with Book one: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I *loved* it. Sure, I had watched the movie before. But I still loved it. Now for #2. :D

Potter Mania

July 23rd, 2007

Everyone is so crazy about Harry Potter now. I want to be part of it too. But I have some serious catching up to do. I haven’t read any of the books. :-(

I can’t afford to be a Muggle for too much longer. I’ve started off on Book 1, and I’ll soon be catching up with the rest of the world. Zzzooooom…
