disclaimer : first, anything seen or read here cannot and will not be held against me in any way. second, you should here if you are a friend or unless you are a blog surfer here killing time. and if you are you're really wasting your time reading a blog of a person you don't know, see right there, that's 3 seconds you aren't going to get back.
now, i'm currently a freshman/sophmore at santa clara university. that has become my home away from home, but then again, i also consider melbourne my home away from home. i love being surrounded by people, even if there's no talking involved. i thank my lucky stars everyday for my friends, my singapore soulmates, my melbourne mates and of course my santa clara family. i have 16 friends which i would do almost anything in the world for and all of them are spread out between these 3 countries. which sometimes makes me sad but then there are the wonders of the internet and mediaring which everyone should use instead of skype *shameless advertising here*
i love music. my ipod is almost my lifeline. television is the source of everything good in my world. i love reading too, although i may not look the type. so basically music, books and television are my life.

.disillutionment with disney.

i have lost the magical feeling i got everytime i thought of disney...

there is no more magic and fantasy...
i'm not sucked in the way i use to be when i watched
snow white, cinderella, beauty and the beast, the little mermaid and sleeping beauty
i no longer want to get transported into that magical world...
i don't imagine myself living among the chracters in the story
and wishing i was snow white or cinderella...

i'm not just saying this because i wantto be a princess...
there are other non-princess movies of disney i love...
like dumbo, bambi, 101 dlamatians, the lion king...
and peter pan, alice in wonderland...
no...

lost are those...
they are tyring to be 'mature'
and produce more cultured and informative movies like
atlantis, atlantis 2, treasure planet, home on the range, tarzan...
save for lilo and stictch andn mulan the rest just suck
that's all i have to say...

disney has given up on thinking up original ideas...
and instead have bought into making 2nd rate (if its even 2nd rate) sequals...

i miss that the characters don't sing the songs anymore...
i miss that there's no more love stories...
i miss the happily ever afters...

i'm watching brother bear right now...
and seriously the most enjoyable part in it is when the baby bear, koda is singing...
i don't need any fancy phil collins (no offence, he's a terrific singer/songwriter) to sing it during the movie...
i remember watching the lion king and how i loved it when simba and nala sang 'can you feel the love tonight'
after that i never could listen to the version that elton john sang without audioly gagging...
and i beauty and the beast...i prefer the version of 'beauty and the beast' sang by mrs. teapot than the version sang by celin dion and that other guy...

you get what i'm saying right...
