Not hallows nor horcruxes... just walking down memory lane
I stare at my pimple in the mirror. Then that little bulge in my tummy that tells me I’m getting old. Hahaha. 1 year on, since the last time I blogged. And how things have changed. It’s hard describing how I’m feeling now, it just seems like a long time has passed.
Allow me to introduce myself once again. My name’s Nicodemus, Chinese name hasn’t changed (still Kuang Ting or KT for convenience), 22 years of age, studying in Nanyang Business School, member of Hope Church Singapore, and glad to be here blogging after 1 year.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This movie strikes at the right time, week 52 of my walk with God. In this movie, Dumbledore leads Harry into a series of Pensieve moments, exploring past memories of his, in a bid to prepare Harry for his final battle with Voldemort the Dark Lord. Dark and in my opinion, exciting, times lie ahead. But for me, this year of preparation, 2009, isn’t quite over yet. I sense in my heart that God is not done with me in this period yet, that the final act before entering year 2 of my walk with Him is to finalize my reflections and really take stock of the condition of my heart.
There have been many feelings running up and down this past year. But one thing I really want to thank God for is the fact that He allows me to experience each and every single one of these feelings and embrace them, instead of choosing which one to embrace and others to avoid, by my own strength. Check this out. Happy. Sad. Angry. Peaceful. Proud. Nervous. Thankful. Confident. Hurt. And the list goes on.
Back to the Prince, it is interesting how they filmed this movie, given that so many details needed to be filmed properly and there will, undoubtedly, be a big question mark lingering at the end as to why Snape killed Dumbledore, at least for those who didn’t read the book or is not familiar with the storyline. Personally I felt that this was a good attempt for a movie. The actors played their part well, and it was a new angle seeing Hermione wrestle with her emotions as to whether her feelings for Ron was romantic, or purely friendship. The toughness (perhaps a little stiff) of Ginny also stood out here, not to mention Harry and Ron’s frequent heart to heart chats in the dorms which were particularly amusing.
1 year on @ Timothy’s place. The same swimming pool. Only, this time it’s just God and me. Tranquil. Amen. =)
