下一站,幸福



Am embarrassingly back-dated with my dramas.. haha! started watching 下一站,幸福 (a taiwanese drama by Vaness wu) some time back in 2010.. and stopped for a while, and now I'm determined to finish it~

Not a fan of such dramas, but do watch some occasionally =) Heard positive comments about this one, hence decided to set aside some time to catch it religiously..

Honestly, I feel that in order to come up with a good script, the scriptwriter is key (common sense right?) anyway, what I wanted to say is, I'm impressed how the storylines are able to capture our hearts and it's as though we are part of it.. I'm convinced that they had gone through much in their lives to write such heart-warming/wrenching storylines =P

We share their happiness, woes, sadness, hurt, etc, and it's as though I'm consumed by the drama.. Escapism, seeking solace, support, joy, etc~ Suddenly my nights are filled.. It's like a date with something that understands and seduces (I mean the storyline) you =)

Haha.. well, it's obvious I'm drifting and rattling away now~ back to reality... There's work tomorrow, and my bed's calling out for me..

Gd night world! while I 'escape' to my perfect world - in my dreams =)

Beauty and the Beast

Remember the times when disney fairytales used to be such a hit? fairytales after fairytales~ beautiful and everlasting love stories... Wonder why they stopped making such fairytales now, and if they really did stop the production, it would have been such a pity =(

Honestly.. I'd really love to re-watch all of these fairytales again.. coz I grew up watching these, loving every bit of the Disney Princesses.. always portrayed as strong, beautiful, intelligent, kind hearted women =) How can girls not love them? haha.. *daydream* I personally adore them!!

Cinderella, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, Under the Sea, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty... Disney's Princesses~

Anyway, talking about fairytales, I do have a personal favourite! Not hard to guess I think (or maybe it is, coz I hardly mention it to anyone).. haha..

Yes, it's Beauty and the Beast........ Exceptionally beautiful love story~  And as the title suggests, it's a love story between a poor princess who has a heart of gold, and a beast (who eventually turned into a charming prince)... haha.. Such a happily ever after~ *continues to daydream*

Vivid memories of this film, I watched it in school, at home, in the theatres, and I remembered me being so amused and thrilled with the little tea cups, tea pot, candle, clock, etc that could talk! hahaha.. how can I not giggle and laugh along? =P



Enchanting love story.. I'm amazed with my level of intelligence then (think I sort of understood more than 50% of the film).. haha.. Poor peasant girl (Belle) found her way to a deserted and dilapidated castle hidden within the woods one day, and fate has it that she met this ferocious beast which was staying inside.. The beast (under a spell) was touched by Belle's heart of gold, while Belle saw the good in the Beast.. and both fell in love and one day, the beast's spell was broken and he turned into a handsome young man *Awwww*

Can I be Belle for a day? Just a day?~

Beautiful Belle~ gorgeous yellow gown that looks perfect on her.. Full of Poise, with heart of gold and strong willed.. She's my favourite Disney princess! =)

I wish my daughter grows up to be like her.. haha! =P

and they lived happily ever after~ =)


I'm sure if I were to re-watch the movie again, I might have a deeper understanding of it..

Let me end this post off with the beautiful lyrics of the soundtrack.. Beauty and the Beast~ (coincidentally sang by one of my favourite singer - Celine Dion)
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Than somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
And ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
Beauty and the beast
