Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who's the fairest of them all?
beauty comes with an ugly price I tell ya. So, smart me has reverted (Look Jo!!!"REVERTED")to my plain flat hair, bespectacled self. Haha~wat m i saying?Guess Jo's expertise on crappology has rubbed off on me.

I caught THE BROTHERS GRIMM earlier on with an old friend.Err...small friend, no, young friend. Aiya!With an ah boy la!Aiyo!!!Made me feel so damn old !!!I tell ya, when I first saw him I almost couldn't recognise him!He looked so different in outside clothes. I'd expected him to look better in outside clothes, afterall, who doesn't?

Oh right. He doesn't.

I tell u, had he gone to work at Maybank dressed like that, the episode at KFC would have been avoided!!!It's all ur fault ah boy.Wahahaha~sorry, just kidding. To all leads involved in that exciting episode, I'm sorry. It's just that looking back now, it strikes me as damn hilarious. Please don't mind. I still love you!

The show was interesting. I've been wanting to catch it since I read about it in Cleo, but didn't manage to find kakis to watch it with. Seems as though I've lost all my arty farty friends. Hmm...It's so hard to get people leading different lives to do something together. It's life, I guess. Nevertheless, I appreciate this little boy coming out of nowhere, riding his white steed, with his aluminium armour(Haha~wat crap) and agreeing to catch this very chim show with me. THANKS AH BOY.At least I think it's chim. ok, maybe chim is not really the word for it. Maybe it's too literature for me to understand. It's been a long long since I touched lit I guess, but I really appreciate the ingenuity of the filmakers. All the fairytales are so nicely woven in there's not a single glitch. It's beautiful in a way. I never thought they could all be linked up and made to tell a different story all together. The film really managed to catch the essence of the tales, and I had a great time figuring out which parts corresponds to which story. And, and, their parody of French extravagence and romanticism was classic.

I've always loved fairytales. I think it's because they always end so happily. So...impossible. If only it were real. U know what's my favourite fairytale? It's Cinderella. I think it's one of the simplest stories ever written. It is so simple it is powerful. It is so simple, that's why it's so comprehendable, and it really captures the worst of humankind, ok, more like the worst of womankind and the stupidity in men. Haha~ Even in fairytales, there are lessons to be learnt. That's why mothers read them to their children, and that's why everyone who's been a kid b4 knows them. Just examine carefully and u'll notice Gluttony(the wolf in little red riding hood), Jealousy(the freaking ugly queen in Snow white and the seven dwarves), Sloth(the fucgly stepmother and stepsisters in Cinderella),Avarice(rumplestilskin-I really don't know how to spell this), Pride(the princess and the frog), Anger(the witches in Sleeping beauty), Lust(the prince in The little mermaid. ehh...provided it is a fairytale lah)etc. (I actually wrote "etc" cos I've been wracking my brain for egs of pride and my brain seemed to malfunction leh, no results whatsoever). It's fascinating isn't it, the ideal world they always seem to portray? Somehow, the good always end happily and the bad, unhappily. The desired land and state of things.

Perhaps it is this great difference between that world and ours that makes fairytales live in eternity, in popularity.
