Cartoons...

I watched the Aladdin trilogy(I don't think many of you know that Aladdin had three episodes anyway!)...really enjoyed myself watching Aladdin! I don't know why...I think Aladdin defines the guy you'd probably read in romance novels(Mills and Boons for example...Sree, do you still read this crap?) : tall, dark, and handsome. But it's not only bout the way he looks that caught my eye. It's his spirit, compassion, and determination to fight evil for the one he loves(blearh...sounds rather cheesy doesn't it?) and the way he keeps to his words. I'd rather watch cartoons which have some meaning rather than watch some cartoons which have this tagline *Someday my prince will come*...Cartoons like Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and Sleeping Beauty don't mean anything...it's like these cartoons are saying that if you dream of marrying a prince, it will happen. I don't really believe in all that rubbish anymore...I despise any girly cartoons, they're meaningless to watch! With the exceptions of Pocahontas and Mulan of course. They're girls who believe in doing what's right. Free-spirited and independent. I remember when I went to the US 2 years ago, we went to Disneyland California(Florida too far!). And there was this place we went. It was the Beauty and the Beast room. We sat there and took like a survey-cum-questionnaire thingy there. A *Which Disney character are you?* survey. I was Mulan. I don't really see myself as Mulan though. But given the choice of any princesses, I'd say I'd go for Princess Jasmine(nothing to do with the fact I like Aladdin!). She's not that girly princesses you'd see in any other cartoons. I think the only Disney cartoons I can tolerate and live with are Aladdin, Pocahontas, Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, and lastly Lion King. When Lion King was released in 1995(I was eight years old then), I'd bug my dad's life to buy me the merchandise from the movie! Jigsaw puzzles, soundtracks(they had two, 1 was the OST, the other was a collection of scores), figurines, the tape, the video game, and the soft toys! I was a fanatic then! I still keep them anyway. They're on my display rack! Childish you think? I have the Simba, Mufasa, Scar, Timon, Rafiki, Zazu, and Pumbaa figurines. Rather unsuccessful in finding Nala's figurine though. To think I even remember the names! :P...currently obsessed with my Stitch collection. Dolls, key chains, figurines, VCDs, and handphone strap! Some of which I have to thank my dear sir, Mr. Kannan.

My fish has been awfully cranky for the past few months already. It's like it's suffering from mood swings/PMS or something. Whenever any of us walk up/down the stairs(so happens the fish tank is on the staircase) and if we don't look at the tank, it just jumps to indicate he's upset that we're not looking at him. Attention-seeker? No...I guess it's lonely since it's partner died few months back. So that's why I make it a point to look at it when I'm walking on the stairs and say *Hello my sayang...How are you today?*...guess it works because it hardly jumps when I look at him and talk to him.

Sentul has officially become Sentul Stray Dogs Sanctuary! There are stray dogs everywhere, and they LOVE sleeping in front of my house! Irritating...considering our house is the only Malay house in the neighbourhood. And we aren't allowed to touch dogs. It's like they know that and they're doing it to irritate us. Why can't they go to some other neigbour's house or something?

Have so much to write and so little time...so I will continue on with my rants tomorrow hopefully. See you guys around...much love: Ann de Sleeper/ Kezz the Spazz.

Miera, I forgot to write this in yesterday's post! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SCHNOOKUMS! 18 YEARS ALREADY (GOD, YOU'RE OLDER THAN ME!)...SO DRINKING IS LEGAL (according to your mum I guess) ALREADY! Jay, if you're reading this, wait for your turn next month! See you soon...
