Since preliminary exams are over, it's time for some movie marathon! Just watched this afternoon Neil Gaiman's Caroline, now I want to get a copy of his book to actually read it on text.

Reality has no perfection. There is no such word as "perfection" is fit to describe the world. Everything, everywhere in this world where we actually live has its loopholes, it is only in our dreams we find all things in perfect order - just as how we want it or wished they were.
Just like how the world was perceived in the movie, in a small unit of the community - our family, it is evident how the young lady suffered from being ignored by her own parents. Busy doing their own stuff - sticking their heads on their computers *clack-clack-clack*, tickling on their keyboard keys without even paying attention to what their daughter seeks to them - ATTENTION. A little attention won't harm both parties.
However, a small tiny - a passage towards her ideal world. A perfect world - with a perfect mother and father who gives the ample attention she have longed for, the care and love that she always wanted to feel from her "original" parents.
But everything turns out like a dream. Back to real imperfect-ness of life.
Each night she would look forward to visit the "other" world and spend time with her so-called "other" parents.
Not all things which are perfect stays constant, the terminologies "perfect", "perfectness" or "bliss" only applies to dreams, intangible things, or someplace which is beyond our mortal eyes but not for something that is within our reach.
Dreams which gives us perfect notion of the world we are living are traps - deceives and tricks us. Usually we choose to stay in our dreams rather than facing the reality of life - who wouldn't like to live in a world where you can get anything and everything that you have imagined? Sometimes perfection will get something from us in exchange of the pleasure we want to achieve, it can either be something important to us, our own dreams or even our life.
This is the reality of life, it is full of imperfections, chaos and disparities but no matter how it was - that's life! It's just how it was - it is on how you deal with it, how you face it and how you struggle in order to survive. Just like how the old fellas tells us: "Live your life. Struggle, fight in order to survive and succeed."
Dreams must come and go. There is nothing wrong with dreaming a perfect life, an ideal world to live in - it is a form of inspiration and motivation for us. But living inside our dreams and not making it into reality is something which can cause some trouble(s).#
