Plot Summary: This time around – Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb – find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to a fantastic Narnian ship headed for the very edges of the world.

Joining forces once again with their royal friend Prince Caspian and the warrior mouse Reepicheep, they are whisked away on a mysterious mission to the Lone Islands, and beyond. On this bewitching voyage that will test their hearts and spirits, the trio will face magical Dufflepuds, sinister slave traders, roaring dragons and enchanted merfolk. Only an entirely uncharted journey to Aslan's Country – a voyage of destiny and transformation for each of those aboard the Dawn Treader – can save Narnia, and all the astonishing creatures in it, from an unfathomable fate.

Plot Summary: Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction—the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.

Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort's Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Porter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort... alive.

Harry's only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale—the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.

Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became "the Boy Who Lived." No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

Fare Heights

Ever since the public transport fare height from July 3, my usual once a week $20 top-up of EZlink has doubled.

The so-called travel fare by distance is a way to increase fare by justifying that more people are benefiting from lower fare if they transfer between different types of public transportation. This, in my humble opinion, is a rather stupid idea for many because it means more time wasted, and Time is Money!

I, for one, travel a straight route via the MRT train to and from work. This essentially means zero benefit and increased expense for me. Just some months ago, JTC also did a 'fare adjustment' to their shuttle bus service to my workplace at IBP from the Jurong East MRT station. The adjustment doubled the fare price. All in, my transport expense per month has increased exponentially. During these times when many corporations are still cutting cost and slashing or freezing employees' pay, it appears transport fare heights are simply inappropriate, yet it is happening all the time.

Over the last several days, the radio stations have brought this topic up for discussion. I see no point in this, however, because it is already a done deal and nothing is going to change. This is what people in Singapore know for a long time, for this is our country and this is our land, where things get done first before consent, so no one can later amend.
