[mood] : [fairly clear]
[song] : [Beatles - come together]

I love that song...makes me happy all over again, sang it this morning, I was tellin myself, another day, a new start. yesterday's history. lesson learnt.
No worries. Had Psycho lect today. I love thurs u know...seems like the whole day fills with endless glory and felicity. I sat with fara, nani and jac... oh yeah, sat next to Coby. Mike (my gay lecturer) was talkin abt Melanie Klein. I tell u...i so can relate to myself and how i was last time. How i sucked the living color off my parents' blood. When i have mine in the future, i will use this. It is helpful. Even Fara told me it helped her alot in this unit. Certainly changed ppl's life one way or another..

Another thing, tday's tute, we talked abt fairy tales. And how the child learns the good and bad in ppl wen he reads the fairy tale. To me, personally, i feel that fairy tales are all fucked up. Take for example:

*snow white--> the reason i dun like it...cuz it instills this childlike silly fantasies on kid's mind. "wishful thinking". Snow white wishing that "someday her price will come"...pls! In reality, if one has this fantasy, u will never get on with life. Stucked on the delusional state where u think dreams do come true and stuff. And the case of the step-mom...and the hunter--> i wudnt want my kids to know all these. kill the guts of snw white and gif to queen, hunter lied to the queen sayin dat he killed her.
- what are we teaching them here? Kids dunno that evil is bad u know. What if they idolise the villian?
- the hunter --> what are we teachin the kids? they are teachin the kids how to lie and cover your asses!
take for instance : u are supp to do your duty. Nah...i get it done by copyin from my frens.
Is that it? rather than tellin the truth -
Hunter said--> Your majesty ..i didnt kill snow white, Instead i got an animals' heart. (then we will see his fate...)

* sleepin beauty --> another nonsense. Sleepin your arse off and then some stupid prince will kiss you. Oh god. what onlieh!Why isnt there any issues on morning breathe? hehe...

* Goldilocks --> what can i say? super dumb blonde who shamelessly tresspassed stranger's house and eat, sleep god knows what else!

* Red Riding Hood--> can somebody pls tell me wda she is blonde? And what kind of name is Red? The authors must have forgotten that detail. why she can't tell the diff between her grandma and the wolf? How silly!



There are more...i wanna argue, but i dun intend to....this is really mind stimulating and thats why i like this topic. Love it, rather, as i can voice my disgust and opinions in a conducive environment. I like it! =)
My mother sure doesnt like it too. But she managed to psycho me. She bought for me The Book Of Aesop Fables instead. That one is really good. Teaches u a lesson. That one is educational and substantial. I will instill that on my kids. If my kids dunno who in the green forest are snow white and cinderella; its no lost for them.

Some of you may not agree with me...I know, I can feel your angst. Sorry..hehe i might hv insulted your idols..hehehe.

but u knw wad? If it makes you feel better, Shrek is ok! i like it...coz its like a parody to all the silly fantasies.
Princess Fiona is an independent lady and she needs no prince to keep her protected and all. She needs no king or prince to make her who she is.. In fact she married shrek in the end. This too teaches kids not all princesses (gals) need to look for handsome strong guys to make the best of her..fill the gap. One needs to be independent, love yourself, confident...and the rest, fills it up...when they do find a match, they will be no insecurities.

My mother shares the same view with me. Although she doesnt read me fairytales, she brought me up well. I had 'rudiments of English' its a blue book, where she will make music out of pronouns and all, so i cud memorise the grammar and sentence structuring. She too thought me to be independent. Speak for yourself. Be knowledgable. U need not be armed with degree what ever... all that matters is that u are aware and constantly learn new things, virtue and values come together too. Self esteem and all has to be polished too. That will make you armed with 'substance'-- Brains and brawns. Brawns as in esteem, upbringing, values, character etc..)
