fairy tales are "fairy tales"

When I was a young girl, I was a bookworm throuogh and through. Not reading text books but story books... I used to love fairy tales and i read them over and over again. I love reading more than interacting with others. When people came over to the house, i preferred reading in a corner of the bedroom I share with my sisters. I was very shy then. Socialising with people is not something that comes easy to me...

Books complete my fantasy about what the world is about. It is an escape pod... It also gives me an idea what the world and its people is of... What they see the world as... How they solve problems... and more...

I always found adventure and beautiful life's experiences in books. As i grew older, I started reading more different types of books. but then, books were expensive and the ones i can get hold of were only from the library. I read from fairy tales to mysteries, horror and romance. They are still the types i often read now... my taste are not as eclectic as others.

There were once a period in my adult life where I was crazy about books that i buy plenty of them and swap with friends. I even introduce and exchange them... it was a very exciting period in my life. I still have many unread books sitting in the closet, dying to be less of a virgin! ;)

My favourite fairy tale is Sleeping beauty. It is more "fairy tale" than the other books... the idea of prince charming finding you and waking you up from a slumber is very romantic. The idea of being protected most of your childhood is stiflinng but if for the better good, its alright. The fact that there are lots of people whom admire the princess and that she could do anything she wanted to except one was very nice indeed. It appealed to me...

BUT... fairy tales do put some crazy notions into your head... such as "happily ever after..." In this times... this is not exactly true is it... divorce is on the rise! People forget what romance is... what love is...

Romance and love is not only shown on a day popularly celebrated by the world but it should be shown everyday! Love is not about buying someone roses, but what it means to you. Chocolates are not romantic... but a nice lovely gesture is...

Someone said i should write about celebrating "Valentine's" day... maybe i should... maybe i should investigate this further... or maybe i won;t and let you all find the mysteries of it yourself... Not the saint or why people celebrate it... but more on why we "muslims" should not celebrate it... that would be a good topic indeed... Sad that the person who suggested me to write it is no longer talking to me... oh well... such is life...

Feeling emotional and sore...

When i clicked onto this page, i knew i wanted to say something... but as i stare at this blank page... my thoughts ran as blank as the page...

When i was on the Youth Ship, a guy friend once told me that I am "different" from the normal female species he has met... and he has met a few... He and the group think and felt that i am Opinionated and LOUD... He also said that it is not a trait that BRUNEIAN MEN appreciate very much. I am not sure if they are threathen by this quality but I do know they dont like it. Its one of those qualities they dislike i think... i can't seem to remember much but it goes something like that... hence, most of the men on the trip dislike me... I do not take heart... Someone is bound to not like me right... and you can't make people like you if they don't... acceptance is what life is all about...

My sisters and family and friends think i am opinionated... but they accept me as I am. Having strong opinions and not being afraid to voice them is not a crime and i refuse to change what i think is a GOOD trait i have. Having opinions is good... What good are opinions if you are not going to voice them... Obviously different people think differently... and hence when you have a difference in opinion, it does not mean that you are having a "fight" but merely an exchange of views in a healthy manner... It also makes you see things in a different light... and there is no wrong opinions as we all see the world with differently shaded glasses...

i never force someone to change their opinions to mine... but i do try to make them see sense in what i see... as i do try to see what sense they make of their world... hence the "banyak soalan" trait..

Again... Asking questions are not a crime... How else would you know someone if not through interactcion... and isn't asking questions about someone an interaction in itself... a form of commuincation in its most sophistication... BUT there are some out there that are uncomfortable with this tact... I don't understand why but it is not something i would force someone to do... "answer me now or else..." but you cannot demand that i do stop asking questions...

being you and being me is being comfortable in your own skin. If you are not... do you think others would? I am comfortable with me being "opinionated" (but i do think others are more so than me... I am just mild-moderate) and me asking a lot of questions (comes with the job too)... Why can't others be comfortable with that?

I am scarstic... and i do inject a lot of scarsm into my conversation... this makes me condesending to others... but scarsm again is just a way of communication. Obviously it is not for everyone... and a lot of us are sensitive about things like this... but it is something i only reserve for people i know well... and lower my barriers to...

If you cannot be yourself with people you know and love... what is the use of being you??? Even hollywood stars have to stop pretending and carrying an act around them all the time. If i can pretend all the time to be something that i am not just to protect other's feelings... i deserve all the oscars and globe awards in the world...

What is so wrong with me? I know i have flaws like others... and i never pretended to be perfect or something that i am not... i do not potray an image of hatred to others... and yet people do hurt my feelings often... To be liked is something but what i really want is to be understood... i cannot be something that i am not...

This is a public apology to those of you I may have hurt while knowing you... I do not intentionally and go out to hurt people's feelings but I have this bad trait that "attacks" people especially when angry or connered. To those who felt that i try to "brainwash" them through exchanging opinions and asking a lot of questions... I deeply and profusely apologise... Please tell me off if i do so the next time...

Life is too short to make enemies... and if i do make some... i atleast do not want them to be readers of the blog... If i die before any of you, please forgive me... as i do not hold any grudges with any of my readers or "real" friends... Friends i have only a few... and i cannot afford to lose them... you are like family to me... through thick and thin, we stay together...

Cumbersome....

As a favour to a friend... and partly because I was invited, and being the polite person that I am, I went to my friend's brother's wedding. I usually detest going to weddings. Not because of anything but only because its hot and you sit doing nothing but listening to a bunch of old ladies gossipping about things that does not concern them at all but others in a bad manner...

I studied in my religious school as a young girl about weddings in islam and what it IS supposed to be and such. Wedding reception was only meant to be a way to introduce and inform others and your "society" of whom you are married to... so there won't be any "fitnah" ot tongue wagging which is a popular sport amongst the men and women of this land I call home.

Another thing, it is not supposed to be a LAVISH occasion but instead a joyous one where you celebrate the union of 2 beings in moderation. Moderation in everything brings beauty much more...

Wasting one's money just to get married is something stupid... Taking up a huge loan just to please and feast everyone while you parade infront of everyone sounds like something you would do in ancient times... But not in this morden times... But such are traditions and cultures.... Its difficult to forget and overcome its influences.

I am not saying that you should forget your roots... instead to do it in moderation and within reasonable budget suitable within your means. And sometimes, traditions and cultures that are wasteful are best forgotten... But again, its difficult to separate your wants from those of your elders...

Everyone dream of a beautiful wedding... but mine is of simplicity, close friends and families in a small ceremony. But dreams can be shattered and belonging to a family whose believes in tradions is as strong as the butress roots of a tree in a rainforest, such silly fantasy is one that would only be in dreams... a beautiful sweet dream...

sigh... Traditional weddings are cumbersome anyways... not to mention a wastage of precious money... sigh... But one's fight against such causes are always "its once in a life time's opportunity"...

It is such a difficult choice... One of traditions and culture versus that of what the heart wants... Which usually wins... or which is of the stronger will and which usually bends... I know what is true for me but under the influences of my family anything can bend to their wishes... What is the answer true to your heart?

what would you do?

Today was an amazing Friday. I had fun in the morning doing chores. And I hate doing chores but this time it was fun as i did it with someone else... and this evening, I had a chat with several friends.... One of them was ZUL and we were chatting about things... Two of the interesting topics were: 1) what would you do if you can do anything for a day and is not recordable and make it as wild as we can... and 2) what are the wedding gitters or cold feet that would happen to the groom/bride before the wedding date.

Both topics are brilliant and i am undecided on what to write about. I would love to write about number 1 topic, but as soon as i started talking or rather typing away, i realised that i was more "ANGRY" rather than wild about anything. And on the second, would make a very interesting blog entry but i wouldn't know much about what to say... all i need to say is that it needs a bit of research before i can write about it.

So since research is required for the second topic, i should elaborate on the first one. And bare with me... and since we are allowed to share any wild ideas.. i would like to share with you what i like to do to my boss or anyone that pisses me off deeply...

I don't like to be angry and I am an ugly person when i do get mad. I say nasty things in the heat and even thought i mean it, one should not be so mean and say candidly what they think how horrible another person is. Anyways... When one person pisses me off, I usually try to control myself. and when it gets too much, i need to let steam off... and i found the best way to get steam off and it works most time. There were several times when it did not work, and so other means of letting steam off had to be retracted from this brilliant mind.

Anyways... those close to me or of my family members would know i do this as i often share what I'd like to do to that stupid boss of mine. It came as a sudden idea in a dream and it actually gave me inner peace... it was beautiful. I actually woke up with a smile...

Visualise this: You are working hard and your stupid arsehole of a boss put you down in a customary way like you are not human and is a sub-alien that is not worth the oxygen in this world. Where as you feel he should have become and born as the germ that feeds off shit that comes from BIG SHITTERS like himself...

So I am in this car... and I see him walking by.... and I hit him over... he fell on the ground looking up to see who you are... before he has a chance to run, you hit him again and again till he is unable to move. You aim higher to his head... you run your wheels exactly at the head repeatedly so the skull burst open revealing fresh brain....

you then walked out of the car in this killer heels and walk over the brain and mush it up till it is unrecognizable... you then take the pleasure of beating his dead body till the bones shattered to million pieces... No one is able to recognize him...

Its GORY... but the idea of this makes me smile :) and ready for another bit of the action and shit that he is giving... like it? leave comments...

What would you like to do if you can do almost anything without any consequences... and feel free to be as wild as you can.... trust me... ZUL was most wild... and i am most EVIL :P
