It is no secret that my favourite movie of all time is Disney’s the Little Mermaid. It was the first movie that I’ve ever seen in the theatre and I can honestly admit that I’ve watched the movie over 3000 times. What is it about this movie that gets an (almost) 28 year old woman so intrigued?
First of
all, I love the Disney’s version of the story. The original version of Hans
Christian Andersen doesn’t have a happy ending which I don’t like as much. It
is something about a young girl being rebellious towards her father and
fighting for what she believes in and for what she loves. I must admit that I
might be a bit jealous of her red hair as well :-) I never get tired of
watching the movie. For my 24th birthday, I decided to give one last
theme party... seeing that it was about time for me to grow up and stuff. The
theme had to be the Little Mermaid.
Invitation for my birthday get-together four years ago |
Now four
years later, I’m back in Cape Town and about to have another birthday. It’s
like if it was meant to be, because the Canal Walk Theatre company is actually
performing the play of the Little Mermaid while I’m here. I could not miss out
on seeing it so Claudine, Carla-Ann, Kaylee and I went to see it today.
It was lovely! It was a mixture of the original story combined with the Disney
version that did had a happy ending.

Love my early birthday present! |
I loved
how we were able to chat away, it felt like the last four years never passed by.
This means that our bond is still good and it’s definitely something that I treasure
deeply.
Jason & Janine... <3 them! |
That’s
it for now... one more day till the deadline of my ‘life plan’. Let’s see if I’m
still able to make it or not. Will be continued....
Love,
