"Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?"

My mum, in her quest of overhauling and renovating my room into bilik pengantin, over extended her authority. My teddies given by a dear friend back in Manchester were given away. That I can take. But there hung two most treasured posters on my wall, neatly framed. I reckon it has been there for more than 10 years. I know I shouldn't air any of my grievances to her, hence this outlet. To her, I'm getting married. So let's dispense with all the cuddly and colourful collectibles. So now my room needs to be womanly I suppose?

I have a special bond with this particular poster. Disney, i've always loved. So much so that I actually memorize most, if not nearly all of its scripts. Beauty and the Beast, Lion King and the likes. But most importantly, I remember watching Little Mermaid during my English class in primary school. My teacher was of course less than enamoured with my English skills, or lack thereof! I did relatively poor in English back then. Then only I started to read. and read, and read a lot. The movie, an inspiration it certainly was to me.That's besides the point.

It is every little girl's dream to go to Disneyland. So yes, this poster was bought in Disneyland, Paris, an experience most definitely not forgettable. The freedom and opportunity of gallivanting across Europe is of course, hard to come by. I'm not rich, nowhere near. So when will I get the chance to go again?

Nevermind lah. To whomever my mom gave this poster to, I hope you cherish it as much as I DO. May this poster illuminate your life with hopes and dreams, as it has done mine. May it bring happiness to you, little girl. A consolatory ending indeed :)

(I mentioned two posters right? The other one is Dedek's Beauty and the Beast. haha, no exception.)
