Last Sunday, I watched Barbie & the Diamond Castle on TV3 with my youngest sister. Needless to say, it was a great movie (especially if you're a Barbie lover) with the theme of friendship. Its mainly about two best friends, Liana (the pronounciation is like Rihanna) and Alexa who share a love of singing. Of course, somewhere along the way the strength of their friendship is tested. You can read the full review here.
I don't know what it is about Barbie that makes me still attracted to watch her movies...perhaps its the excellent graphic used in the movies, or the prettiness of Barbie and her friends (not to mention their outfits and the sceneries!). Or maybe its because I played with Barbie dolls when I was a little girl, so she reminds me of my happy and carefree childhood.
Back in England, my parents bought me and my sisters several Barbie dolls, a great big doll house which was even taller than us, plus some furniture to decorate the doll house with. The doll house had four levels - the ground floor consisted of a kitchen (which had a kitchen cabinet) and a bathroom (which had a toilet, a sink+mirror and a bathtub with a shower curtain). The first floor was the sitting room (which had a chair that could recline complete with footrest, a writing table table+chair and a side table), the second floor was the bedroom (2 single beds, 2 closets, 1 dresser. We even had the accessories such as shoes and clothes, pillows and covers and little hairbrushes and handmirrors). The topmost floor was a rooftop balcony for the dolls to hang out in the evenings. My sisters and I had a blast arranging and re-arranging the furnitures, changing the dolls' outfits and acting them out in various scenes. It's pretty funny recalling it all, but I wouldn't mind admitting that right now, the child in me is crying out for me to grab my youngest sister's doll and start playing with it. Just going to Toys R Us to ogle at the latest Barbie collection is enough, seeing as its not really worth spending my money on it. But of course, the more matured Me is saying...Grow Up!

Haha...as far as I know, most girls like dolls bcoz they seikhlas hati suka the dolls. Kalau tak suka tu, tetap tak suka. Fashion is related to dolls jgk pe...they're outfits are kinda trendy. Erm...when you say "22 year old future university graduate" tu...aku tersedar diri...heh heh :-P
no laa...there's nothing wrong playing with dolls.even though u r 35y.o.kinda cute actually,for some.hehe.
Haha...tq2. tp aku dh tak main dhla dolls...why should i change their outfits when i can change my own?? Haha! :-P

berbeza dgn Acapan yg conteng2 barbie dia... I had few barbies but they are the cheap ones made in china. they don't loose their heads but they usually went thru a lot of haircuts sampai finally botak.
rasanya itu lah nasib malang barbie doll dpt kat kanak2 tomboi sikit... wahahahaa....
ehehehe.. nk tmbh lg :P~
it's ok to reminisce about our childhood and having the child in us coming back once a while. as much as we grow up or get older, we shall always stay young at heart... ;-)
