Women and their Fairytales

The Eiffel Tower is one of the popular sites in Europe for suicides. For 120 years since the monument’s construction about 400 people killed themselves there, of which two survived the 171 feet drop from the first floor, one was blown onto a rafter by the wind and one young woman landed on the roof of a car.  After recovering from her injuries this woman married the owner of the car.

Fairy tales do exist!

Not all women dream of a fairy tale proposal, grand wedding then a happily ever after ending but most do. Men usually don't, unless you're Kurt from Glee.

Most men don't because they believe in despondent, depressing life after a fairy tale. Fear puts them off fulfilling that fairy-tale their lady expects.

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.
Albert Einstein

The recent widely covered wedding of the era was of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Why? Because they were the epitome of a modern fairy-tale. She was a commoner while he was a Prince and after 8 long years, Kate who has been called waity-kaity mockingly met her fairy-tale end .

In Singapore, the pressure to marry has been great. We marry for HDB, we marry to get out of our parent's house. In fact, too often friends and families tell girls of marriageable age that if the guy doesn't propose after 2-3 years, he probably will never do so.

The royal couple did go on a break at some point (perhaps reassessing their relationship as he hasn't popped the questions), but instead of rushing for a suitable rebound to cut her losses (like most girls are known to do), she enjoyed being single- partying, dressing sexy and getting away on holidays.

If there is one thing to learn from fairy-tales, the female characters are usually characters of patience, perseverance and even confidence. Balancing modern and traditional, these fairy-tales that were created decades ago seemed to know what society 2.0 will be!

In today's world of instant gratification, self-indulgence and temptation galore, we won't wait out.

Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale of all.
Hans Christian Andersen

Being attached doesn't define us. Having an other half doesn't validate us. We remind ourselves of our fabulousness with heels and lingerie without letting our self doubt or criticism of others drag us down.

But still,

Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
C.S. Lewis

There's a difference between a great love and the right love. There is no yard stick as to when to marry, or how long one should wait. Just know you deserve a fairy-tale, we all do. A prince in a fairy tale is a gallant man, the one who'll dare to put a ring on it.

All Lacquered Up

A French manicure is designed to resemble natural nails. I love the French manicure because it makes me look feminine, sweet and innocent.

Alas, the French manicure never last. A normal manicure lasts about 2 weeks, a French manicure can't last as long due to the thicker coat and therefore chips easily. Thus i always feel it's not worth to get a French manicure especially when it costs extra to get it painted that way but chips faster than usual.

Don't make money sense...unless...you get it done the Gelish way.

I had mine done at Pink Parlour for $49+. They have a new outlet in Orchard Central. 

Gossip magazines, yay!

To suit the nails, you need the perfect wedding venue like Chjmes. Watabe wedding planners have just landed in Singapore and they own 14 chapels all over the world.

They are here to make your wedding romantic, a fairy-tale wedding especially when in Asia we believe you only wed once.

Partnering Tung Lok, the catering is exquisite. Interesting mash-up of textures and foods, this is a jello-shot of Herbal chicken soup (my favourite!)

Now, at which corner will i find my Prince Charming ?
