SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind.

SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

The meaning of love as defined by Point Of No Return 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I was watching tonight's episode of Point of No Return where this character, Becky told Seung "I am just an Indah Water worker" Hei about love and relationship. I found it rather fascinating. She told poor Seung Hei that;

"You know a relationship should be between people of the same interest, same background...I mean having the same interests is wonderful but too much of the same interests is bad but not having the same interests is just as bad ... imagine you like to eat steak, your boyfriend likes to eat steak, you prepare a steak and he finished it (assuming she mant leaving the girlfriend with nothing), wouldn't that be bad as well?"

Yeah yeah hinting hinting sewage cleaner (or crudely, shit cleaning manager) is not going to be suitable with a rich businessman, so to speak.

And I wonder, is she right? This is more so because...well I must confess, my best friend, Mary kinda dropped a hint, ok a BOMB that next year both of us should register with the Cupid Club, run by our local politics party MCA to match single Chinese for some really hopefully fairytale wedding kinda conclusion. I was kinda annoyed, because well, I don't need Cupid Club! Ego speaking here. But my friend is kinda right when she said we don't meet people often and we meet the same people. Then I saw the Cupid Club in the papers having some activities and sorry to say, the men....I am just...I am shallow...I am so shallow for even thinking I can't bear to look at those men because to be fair if I am being judged by my looks, I sure can judge them as well, right? RIGHT?

Anyway, what Becky said, kinda triggered something in me. My sister once said my family or myself will never be able to marry anybody prominent/rich/handsome/famous/popular/powerrful/all of the aforementioned because we are not prominent family. We are ordinary folks, singletons paying taxes to help married people with loads of children to send their children to school. Not fair! But anyway, it disturbs me to know one day if Bill Gates divorces his wife and I meet him and we have a love affair and then he can't marry me because maybe of my family's dark past or because my status is not good enough for him. Pick any rich prominent professionals. Is Becky right?

The more she said about something in common, blah blah blah, the more I was screaming at the top of my lungs at the TV and I was screaming ..'WELL THEY DO HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON...THEY LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH!!".

And I remember saying well his father married a servant girl who washes feet you know, why not Seung Hei? And my sis said she is Indah Water worker, she gets rid of shit, not entirely as clean as washing feet.

Many years ago rish prominent families will never allow their sons to marry someone from the entertainment world. The rule relaxed a tiny bit but the girl has to give up her career and essentially become a kept woman meant for breeding babies. Am I crude? That's how I see it unless the girl wants it that way.

I can't help but feel what Becky said was wrong, what I initially said was even more wrong. Look at Ming Hin, the father. He is a strong man, a strong figure. Someone as strong as that man will be able to withstand any criticisms and he does it his own way, marrying the woman he loves, running his business. Every family has one such person.

So my thought is if there are Tin Chi kinda guy, in love with Seung Hei kinda girl, the solution is simple but very difficult because it is a test of character. Be as firm and as determined and as controlling and as powerful as Ming Hin, no one will ever dare comment about your wife's past in front of you. Even a sewage cleaner can be a phoenix if she finds a dragon.

And as for Seung Hei type of girl meeting a Tin Chi kinda guy, I guess the best solution is never listen to what others have to say. Listen to your own heart and his heart. Go for it but warn your family please don't screw it up. But I feel if the man is strong, and the girl is determined, nothing can stop them. And this applies to even interracial love and everything else.

But back to Cupid Club. I am still thinking should I join? I mean iI envy those who has boyfriends, great looking ones and very successful and young dressed smartly and all walking side by side (and never you walk behind him!) with an equally pretty girl (or pimple faced but great body, as always the case) during Valentine's day. Other days I am not quite bothered. In fact I am not quite bothered about having a guy in my life, because I don't think I can dedicate my entire 24 hours to this one man, unless maybe he is Keanu Reeves or Shaun Chen. ANYWAY, I think I will join the Cupid Club just to have a look but if a guy calls me, I guess I will run. Maybe it's just me.

Is it true guys and girls? Do you conciously look for someone of your own class and level or slightly lower level than you in education and all? Is looks more important or figure? I don't even bother with that awfully bastardized word, PERSONALITY. You never know personality unless you're on your 3rd or 4th date, and all previous to that are all about what's on the outside.

I am first to confess. I don't mind a good looking guy but what I really do hope to find is someone average to very good looking guy, physically healthy and looking like a metrosexual who doesn't teach me about beauty tips as much as I should teach him, who is decisive as he is well mannered, who is successful as he is well, wealthy and first and foremost, chivalry above all else. If a guy doesn't bother to open the door for me or pay for the dinner, excuse me or call be un-feminist, this guy is not worth investing the rest of my life with. As I am sure you all know, a man at the age of 60 is still desirable to other younger women but women at 60 are usually called po-po.

Disgusting!
