JUMPIN' JELLYFISH!

I'm an old-tech idiot.
Couple of days ago I came to realise that sitting pretty above my DVD/VCD player was a VCR!!!!!!!!!!

Jumpin' Jellyfish! Haven't seen one of those for DECADES!!! (I'm 18....started watching vcds at....9? almost a decade lah~)

So, I dug out my old 'The Little Mermaid" video from this discarded cupboard under the TV and tried to play it with my new found VCR, which I bet was there, along with the DVD/VCD player LONGGGG ago~
But problem was, I didn't know how to use it~
More like I've forgotten how to use VCRs. -.-"

I then decided that perhaps the video wasn't working anymore and chucked the idea of watching old disney movies altogether for the time being.

BUT, one fine evening (last night), after the last of the sardines left my humble sanctuary, I continued piecing together my birthday jigsaw (the sky section where juney left off.
JUNEY : I GOT MOST OF IT-the sky, TOGETHER ALREADY! lol~) when a random thought struck me -

"I WANT TO WATCH BEAUTY AND THE BEAST."

Blame it on the holidays if you must, they always had that effect on evoking significantly higher levels of randomsity then other times of the year.

And next morning, after a rather brain-numbing bout of sinus (your brain stops with every sneeze you take , read that somewhere) I remembered my deep desire to watch "Beauty and the Beast" and as such, my quest on "HOW TO USE A VCR" began.

The night before, while reminiscing about my childhood- how I used to be able to watch animated movies like "The little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast","Sleeping Beauty","Aladdin", "Cinderella", "Snow White","Anastasia"and "MULAN" too when vcds came to be, etc etc....like 30 to 50 times throughout my childhood-I suddenly realised that to watch a video tape, you're supposed to REWIND it first!!!!

ali ali ali~
When will you ever learn~ -.-"

Anyway~
Yeah, was pretty crazy about the whole singing-dialogue, the splendor of colours and lots and lots of magic combination~
In fact, I think I still am a sucker for such stuff.
Came across this quote quite some time ago,
"What one loves in Childhood stays in the heart forever" by Mary Jo Putney.
Not sure who she is/was, but while that quote somewhat applies, ok, completely applies to me, sometimes I wish it didn't.

As you get older, the number of new things to fall in love for just diminishes eh?
I have this theory - the heart isn't capable of loving infinitely, isn't able to love more without the expense of ceasing to love some of the things it used to love ,which is most of the time impossible for some reason.

Now let's hope that such a theory isn't accurate for human beings.

Till then.....
SEBASTIAN IS A CRAB!!!
NOT A LOBSTER ,ALL YOU BLURPOKS WHO THINK HE'S A LOBSTER!!!
HE SAID SO HIMSELF ON "THE LITTLE MERMAID".
