FairyTale Syndrome

Do you have the Fairy Tale Syndrome?

Well it's not a disease actually... more like an illusion. Very commonly - girls have them. Thanks to Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty & The Beast etc etc that we read/ watch as kids. Also thanks to disney that most girls used to think that they have a prince charming. Alright, I used to wonder about that when I was young. Sure, say you found your prince charming - but is he as charming as you think?




I read in this magazine, which elaborates that most girls had this 'Fairy Tale' Syndrome. They expect guys (or the ones they are currently dating) to be prefect like Prince Charming in Fairy Tales. Please, such a person do not even exist in the first place. If he did, he might have been dead by now.

There was this interesting Korean drama that I watched - Soulmate. In one particular scene the actress in the film said, "I wonder what happened to Cinderella after she married Prince Charming... maybe her life didn't change." Another answered, "Maybe she had to deal with an irritating mother-in-law. And it'll be worse if the Prince had an affair with someone else!" A third lady joined in, "Yeah, and her ugly step-mother would definitely not let her gain happiness. She'll be extorting money from Cinderella, or perhaps something worse!"


I laughed hard. I mean, how many of us actually dwell further into the fairy tales when it's long over? and heck, so many speculations and drama!


Again, realistic, aren't we? It's all good.

Some Updates

Last weekend... I went back to my hometown for another wedding. The couple isn't young anymore and that's the more reason they wanted to keep it simple. Sure, nothing extravaganza... otherwise it won't do anyone any good coz THERE'S NO ONE HELPING! I mean, PLEASE, this is a wedding for god's sake! As relatives - isn't it only right to offer some sort of help? In arranging the tables & chairs, tending to the rubbish bin, cleaning leftovers etc etc? The groom's (my cousin's side) parents are old and have difficulty in walking, much less tending to the chores. Do these people have NO SYMPATHY? And they call themselves RELATIVES when all they do is wait for lunch and pat on their ass when they are full?

Shit them and may someone else shit on them too.


Enough of angst =.= ... but nothing good comes by anyway.

Our house (new house) is on renovation currently... everything else naik harga, so damn crappy! We have chosen the tiles but yet to order them so now have to go and quickly snatch what's left of the shop. Argh so sien, I don't really like to be the driver when we had to run around and find things. I had taken quite some leave and wouldn't do so if it's not necessary. My father couldn't take leave most of the time so I had to tend to the new house stuffs. I really wanted a swing but I'm kinda afraid to say it. I mean everything's so expensive and the swing is nothing but additional expenses... but I want it so badly >__< It's sorta like a dream I had when I was young - to have our own swing at home (I used to stay in apartments back then). I know, I can't be selfish. Oh well, forget it. It would be a burden.

Kyaaaa I'm addicted to K-drama(s) again! I caught a small part of Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang 2 weeks ago on TV and it sparks my interest in K-drama once again. I had finished the series last year and it's one of my favourite. I on my laptop and re-watched it (I downloaded it previously! lol) and realied that I really really like the main actor. I mean, he's not handsome nor well-built, but he's got this charisma about him that attracts people and I felt he's charming... Yes, he's CUTE. Just like the definition of cute says: Ugly but Adorable. And he's exactly someone who fits the description! I was thinking of borrowing Witch Yoon Hee from my friend (because that cute guy is the main actor in this series too) and buying Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang when I saw it. But in Ipoh, I saw the Witch Yoon Hee DVD and grabbed it without second thought. I couldn't find the Choon-Hyang series though.

So yes, I'm currently hooked into the series. I slept late just to watch another 15 minutes, and *hem* are 10 minutes later to work (than usual) because I wanted to catch few more minutes of the series. Can't blame me, I'm an addict!!!

There aren't any nice horror movies in the cinema though. But oh, I watched [Orphanage], a Spanish movie and gawd, wasn't it TRAGIC!!! It's good >__< seriously, but it wasn't scary - not something you'll get terrified but something about the movie will make you pity them & felt kinda uncomfortable when the show ended. Not gonna spoil anything for you but the sypnosis goes like this: a woman re-opens an orphanage which she used to stay back, as a child. Her son is special - had had many invisible friends, whom the couple believed is his imagination. Together with her husband and adopted son, she was anticipating the arrival of more orphanage like her adopted son - HIV positive kids. However, on the day of a welcome party, her son disappeared and she started to hunt for clues on her son's whereabouts. Are they related to his "invisible" friends? Or are they really invisible? Could she see them? Who are they? What do they want?

Watch it.

I'm waiting for Hell Boy, Happening, Incredible Hulk and other blockbusters! Indiana Jones was good but it's so typical of Steven Spielberg movie. There were people who told me they were disappointed with the movie... and I couldn't help wondering, "What are they expecting?" Go watch the first 3 previous Indy movies (or perhaps just one of it will do) and that'll give you an idea what to expect. Don't think about War of the World or Independence Day or Resident Evil when you watch Indy! It's a classic movie for god's sake! Are you expecting it to be like Mission Impossible? Sure it is (they are doing the impossible after all) but in the old-classical way. I love the old Indy humour. They always enlighten me.

See, this is what I hate when people always don't know what to expect. Same thing when I went to the cinema with my friend to watch Sweeney Todd. It's a musical for you information - and do find out before you go for it (or buy the DVD then regret it). I love musical, and I understand well enough what to expect when I go for ST. This girl who sat beside me kept grumbling & complaining, "Alamak, nyanyi lagi..." and I secretly sighed, "It's musical, OF COURSE they are going to sing. What? Were you expecting them to take out an AK-47 and start shooting? Or were you hoping that Gozilla's gonna stomp out all of a sudden? Puh-leeeeze!"

For heaven's sake, do some research before you buy the tickets.
