ginormica
I have just watched the movie Monster Vs Alien recently and I find a very interesting correlation between the message of the movie and the women out there. It is simply not just a kiddies movie. In the movie, Susan Murphy a.k.a Ginormica is the epitome of a modern woman. Hence it’s no coincidence that Reese Weetherspoon is the voice behind Ginormica after her box office success of Legally Blonde which took women empowerment to a new height, albeit in pink. Not every woman is a dumb blonde even if she is naturally born with blonde hair and Reese Weetherspoon is one example of a smart and tough cookie.
Back to our Ginormica, when she was just Susan, she is the ever typical woman who would give everything for love. Nothing is more important than Derek, the husband-to-be, even foregoing her dream of going for honeymoon in Paris, just so Derek could settle for his dream job in Fresno. When she turned into Ginormica after being hit by a meteor, she still dreams of her life together with Derek. Derek on the other hand, could not handle the fact that Susan will gain most of the spotlight after Ginormica’s heroic act of saving people on the bridge that was being attacked by a giant robot and leaving him in the dark. Oh by the way, Derek is a spotlight hogging anchorman and weatherman who loves to check himself out in the mirror all the time, hence it’s not a wonder why he loves being in the spotlight. Susan was devastated. She desperately wanted to return to her normal size and return to her normal life.
However, things took a turn when she realizes her power of being Ginormica. As she puts it ‘There is not a jar in the world that I can’t open now’. Susan realizes how strong she can be and how she is able to do things herself. She does not need to be normal. And there you go, the modern woman realize that life will not stop just because of a selfish man. That anything is possible and even if you are just a woman, you can save the world!
In a way, the movie can be sort of like an eye opener to all the women out there to think about themselves and their capability to survive rather than being dependant on men. I am not saying that women should be completely independent of men (of course we need them) but women sometimes forget their self worth and their own strength when they are blinded by love. Some of these women are pretty and intelligent but they slave themselves to the notion that life’s success is to settle down with the ‘right’ man hence catering to the man’s every need, forgetting their own. Personally, I feel that partners should complement each other. It’s a balance between ying and yang rather than overshadowing or controlling the other.
At the end of the day, Derek the pesky limelight hogger was flicked into the air and swallowed by the blue alien blob and spit out in mucus in front of everyone. Oh what a humiliation. I so love the ending :)

Pudar tanpa dia
Hari hari ku sepi tanpa dia
Meskipun tidak lagi ternanti nanti
Kata kata ku berselirat penuh makna
Fikiranku penuh dengan luahan
Masih terpalit rasa rindu
Masih terlihat igauan
Perlukah aku bertanya
Mengapa bertemu untuk berpisah?
Dalam senyuman ada samar kesepian
Masih bersinar meski warna kian pudar
Bukan kesedihan yang hendak digambarkan
Bukan kelukaan yang hendak disampaikan
Tetapi satu perasaan yang perlu disimpan
Kerana waktu dan jarak tidak berjalan seiringan

Contrary niceties
And then there is this girl who likes to delve into the sea of emotions and intuitions. Her thoughts flow straight to her fingers effortlessly. She stands by the notion that writing is a struggle against silence. She understands perfectly the power of words. Even a simple act of offering a kind word can have the power to change lives in positive and profound ways. Her dreams tell her to wake up and see the truth behind the rose tinted glasses. A déjà vu that sweeps just like the wind.
She met a boy once who is everything that she is and has a positive effect on her. But he is far across the ocean, across the sea and on the other side of the world. She wonders why he is still on her mind and why she just cannot shake it off. It is sticking like a cobweb in her head. She hates this part right here. Anata to no kyori ga tooku naru hodoni.
And about this girl, she has a humongous personality and very adventurous. An absolute Aries with a dash of Taurus, sprinkled with crazyness, a bubbly personality and sometimes bi-polar. Add some little miss giggle and a boyish persona. Voila! A perfect description of her in a cupcake. Oh and she absolutely loves to eat and wears her heart on her sleeves.
Her life is full with friends and family. There is never a day that she ever felt like she is ever alone. And wherever she goes, there will always be one good friend by her side. A beautiful gift from God, she must agree. A friend to guide her through and learn life lessons together.
Her passion lies in writing, martial arts and squash. She does kickboxing, plays the drum, loves cats, learnt Japanese, likes to go to the batting cage and absolutely loves the sun, the sand and the sea. She is also a double jointed freak and can bend her thumb upside down. She loves music and she loves singing. She is the kind of person who wants to do everything in the world. Her next mission is to take up diving. Her next travel mission is to visit all the temples in Asia starting with Angkor Wat next year. To her, life should be full and should always move with time. Love however would always remain timeless.
At the present moment as we speak, she lights her coloured cigarette (it's the yellow one today and the pink one was yesterday) and ponders upon her thoughts and her actions. She is always waiting and waiting. Only time will tell, she is thinking. As she sat on the stairs puffing her cigarette like she always does every day, she stares into the blank spaces.
Her mind is running but she is numb. She is not unhappy but she is not entirely happy. Neither is she depressed nor down. She cannot be bothered to recall her mystified memories. She is just as blank as a white canvass. It is like she is living in an auto pilot mode every day. Every morning, every night, every day, every hour and every second matters to her. She realizes that she is not the same person as she was before. In an entirely good way, though. Usually it was just easy to shut down from the world and put on her half mask of life.
Armed with a pocket full of sunshine and a sunny disposition, she decided to face the world head on. She wants to live her life with integrity now. Not because of somebody or anybody but because she believes that God would only present the situation in life to a person because He knows that the person is strong enough to go through it. She also understands the power of the mind. The secret of life as she unfolds is that your thoughts and feelings create your reality. She has learnt to smile in adversity.

Bicara hati
Aku tidak bermaksud untuk memiliki biar pun hati telah berkata sesuatu. Mungkinkah aku seorang yang terlalu polos and telus maka tidak mampu menutupi sesuatu di luar jangkaan. Kebenaran itu ada tetapi mungkinkah aku sekadar memuji. Mungkinkah aku sekadar cuba bertarik tali? Keinginan untuk memiliki adalah jauh sekali kerana waktu dan jarak tidak berjalan seiringan. Aku menangkis setiap harapan dan menjalani hari ku dengan bersahaja meski pun ada igauan.
Ya kadangkala aku juga bingung. Antara pemikiran dan perasaan. Antara fantasi dan realiti. Sama ada apa yang aku rasakan dan apa yang aku lakukan adalah benar buat masa sekarang.
Dan kadangkala aku lagi bingung. Memikirkan diri yang senang sahaja rapuh dan jatuh ke dalam ruang permasalahan. Adakah aku seorang yang terlalu mengikut hati dan selalu berkata tanpa berfikir? Apakah aku terlalu di penuhi kehidupan maka setiap detik aku hargai dan aku terus sahaja berkata dan melakukan apa sahaja yang aku ingin katakan dan lakukan?
Ya aku sedang berkata-kata. Tetapi aku tahu tidak akan ada seorang pun yang faham setiap luahan ku di sini. Aku sememangnya senang berbicara di dalam teka teki kerana hatiku terlalu lurus dan perlu dilindungi.
Aku adalah seorang yang tidak akan pernah terbiasa menipu diri sendiri. Segala yang di rasa akan di terima tanpa banyak soal, tanpa banyak tanya. Mungkin tuhan sedang mengajar aku erti bersabar dan ikhlas menerima segala dugaan.
