Alice.

Yes, the exams are finally here... I shall, however, not grumble about this very sad fate of a student (face it, even if we all know that education is ultimately for the benefit of society, exams are not very beneficial to our mental well-being *stress*).

One of the few things I shall do after my exams...

1) Check out Dior

2) Check out Mulberry

3) Watch Alice in Wonderland

3: Another whimsical movie from Tim Burton. On an unrelated note, he seems to need the presence of Helena Bonham Carter (his co-inhabitant, not sure if they have decided to tie the know) and Johnny Depp in virtually all his movies. Back to my main topic, Alice is not going to be your childhood beloved bedtime story of a girl who falls into a hole. No, it is a tweaked version, a grown-up 19 year old Alice returning back to Wonderland. So for those who have yet to read of the book entitled 'Alice's Adventure in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' by Charles Lutwige Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll, please get acquainted. Did I just mention Alice's Adventure... yes, I did. It was the original name of the book, well of course the lazy folks shortened it to the very name we know so fondly today - Alice in Wonderland. Now what is up with 'Through the Looking Glass'? It is one of those lesser-know Carroll pieces out there. I remembered reading it as a child, but has completely forgotten most of the plot. Though, I do remember a chess board sorta feel to the story and tons of references to mirrors. I must so read the two books again. Anyway, do watch the movie as it combines the magic of both books into one. It, therefore, somehow mashes the cards theme of the former with the chess theme of the latter to make the movie somewhat appealing.
