Snow White movie is SCARY!

Who could not have loved Snow White? She’s da babe. And Marsha is nuts about her. But interestingly, she could not bring herself to watch SW’s movie. After about ~8mins of watching, she’d switched off (without pressing ‘stop’, as usual) the DVD player and walked away. I asked her why and her reply was “it’s too scary”.

Now, think about it. We’ve all watched SW, right? (Don’t tell me I’m the only guy watching it). But why is this 3.5yr old kid said it’s ‘scary’? Iffil Mia gets down and dirty and investigates…

1) Her name.
Nothing wrong with ‘Snow’ and ‘White’. But her name was inspired from the blood that spilled on the snow under a very dark night. And this happened when her mum pricked herself with a hellava big needle, where she said (upon seeing the blood), “I wish upon a daughter whose lips are as red as the blood and hair as dark as the night”. Darn. This alone sent a shiver throughout my guts. This is dark voodoo stuff. Luckily she did not get a son.

2) Her mother DIED mysteriously.
And she got herself a wicked stepmother, who incidentally became a dark voodoo Queen. Correct me if this is wrong as I was not particularly paying attention, but if it’s true, this is downright disturbing.

3) The freaking mirror talks!
It’s not the cutie-mutie kind like Mrs. Pot or Lumiere of Beauty & the Beast. This is a scary looking dark-voodoo magic mirror, with smoke and all, that talks back to you. Is this an appropriate sight for kids? SW should be tagged as 18PL.

4) The Queen hired a killer.
I mean, specifically she said, “I want you to kill her!” And not just that, she even said, “I want you to bring back her heart!” And the reason: coz SW is ‘fairer’ than her. How sickening is that? For a kid to be watching this, this is downright brutal! Is should be tagged 18SG as well.

Well, I stopped investigating there and then. Snow White is bad for kids. She’s da babe no doubt and Marsha still adore her, but her tale should be altered, like 100%.

Happy (Pls Fill in the Blank)!

2 beautiful occasions to blog here.

1 is: 9th May was our 10th Anniversary. Yes, TENTH! It's amazing that 10yrs have flown by so quickly. To think that I've been procrastinating about putting on braces. Had I put it on many years ago, I'll be blogging at this moment with perfect teeth. Anyway, 10 yrs passed by with lots of life's ups-and-downs and a whole lotta rounds-and-rounds. And I'm so blessed with having Sara by my side for the ride. It's funny, after 10years; I've grown to love her so much more than before. The analogy is simple: First I loved her as a friend. Then as a friend and a wife. Then as a friend, wife and a mother to my kids. She's perfect in my every sense. *mushy mushy* Oh, which reminds me, I've not made a kenduri or a gathering to celebrate this milestone yet. Will do it soon.

2nd 'happy' is: Today is Mother's Day! Even though this is just another day created by florist all over the world, as I age, I've began to appreciate these type of 'days'. So, on behalf of Marsha, I took Sara for a Seafood dinner. Then I tapau the leftovers for my mum, who's staying with me, while bibik (Kak Hindun) is on sabbatical. Hmm. The 'tapau' part doesn't sound right. But, then again, my mum is not the 'happy mothers day' kinda person. But, she knows how much I love her... right, mum? :-)
