A fairy tale gone bad...





Once upon a time, there was a girl who lives in a kingdom far far away. Despite the terrible past that she had gone through while growing up, she was really a happy girl. She had everything that a girl ever wanted - a nice house, nice car, stable job, great family and superb friends. Her everyday life was filled with colorful characters and exciting events that she never stopped to imagine what would life ever be like without them.

While growing up, she thought that things will turn out great once One secures a job. However, she thought wrong. Even though she had secured a stable job, doing something that she used to think that she was good at, she never really felt that she belonged. Maybe it was due to the pressure that was put on her by her superior, who had drove her right up the wall by pushing her to her very limit. She always ended up going back crying her eyes off, feeling as if she wasn't good enough for the job.

Hence, when someone offered her an opportunity that she could not resist, she took it without any hesitation and quit her miserable job. To her, it is better to work her a** off doing something that she really loves doing rather than slaving herself for the beast. That was what she thought. And that was what she told everyone when she was leaving the company.

However, what is a fairy tale without any twisted drama, rite?

You would think that the girl would be enjoying her freedom at this very moment, free from the beastly superior and all the sleepless worry to meet a dateline for everything. Well, that is where you are wrong.

A month into her job, the new company that she was working with had a little glitch and it had caused everything to go haywire. Suddenly she can see all her plans and dreams fading off into the broad daylight. She tried to make it work though, she really did. However, maybe the Almighty just wanted to test her patience by throwing in another set of problem her way soon after.

Since then she had been battling the problem solitarily. No one understood the agony she felt at that time. And being the proud person that she was, she never lets anyone know how she really feels deep inside. She puts on her happy mask whenever she was around people. She kept on with her charade even though people kept poking into the hole of her most sensitive heart. But no one knew that the heart was silently screaming inside.

Now the girl is really wondering, skeptically in fact, if there will ever be a happy ending in her fairy tale life. This is because all the colors in her life had fade away and all that are left are just grayscale images of a bleak future.

a story without any twists and turns would be really boring... even fairy tales have their "dark" moments.. bawang merah was a girl who was kept in the kitchen and doing dirty jobs she found the buaian; snow white was into the forest before she met those little people; nak citer sumer tak muat screen la pulak kan...

hang in there darling... there is always light at the end of the tunnel; and every cloud will have a silver lining...

sometimes things happen for some reasons but sadly mostly of the time, we did not know why... look at this way, for all the obstacles that you faced, God is preparing you for the future, in which u'll need all the life lessons learned to sail through the unknown obstacles in the future.

BUT..... at the same time, u need to have colours in your life... u know yourself pretty well, so continue what you have planned... Hold on to your dreams, dear.. coz these are the things that will push you forward...

Every fairy tale have it's own suffering moments.

Snow White, Cinderella and all.

Don't say Fairytale gone bad.

It's just reality turning into fairytale and trust me. Fairytale will have happy ending.

My pray for you and please believe in 'hikmah'.Everything happened for a reason.
