Do you remember?

Of late, I have been home consistently early (my definition of early is different very lar) and one of the things that I've noticed on TV was the return of shows from the past. I suppose kids/cikus these days might not know but those who are somewhat old enough in the 90s will know this - back in the day we don't even have more than 5 TV channels and there was no Internet nor iPhone or anything else. Any form of entertainment on TV - Chinese language would either came from Hong Kong (in VHS tape, TV series) or locally produced. Back then HVD was the giant production house who produced tons of Chinese and Malay TV series. Looking back, the quality aint that bad - just that I noticed guys back then like to wear vest, oversized clothing, some even have suspenders, funny glasses and floppy hair. But of course the good times (and bad fashion) has to end, HVD went kaput during 1997's recession and all the actors lost their job. Most of them either tried their luck overseas or wen...

Judgement

Image
Since everyone knows how much I love weddings (which btw, I accidently spelled as weeding, well, its just as pesky) so it shouldn't come as a suprise when I saw one from at distance over last Friday, it was more of a slight disgust than anything else...considering that I was at 'ghetto palace'. But just as I was about to snort at the 'fashionable' crowd and the usual proceedings, I caught myself thinking about all these bad things and suddenly stopped for a moment. It's like as though I had some sort of 'a-ha' moment on the spot. Sort of but I am not that smart but anyway... Just because it's not my kind of wedding doesn't give me the right to judge or laugh at them. Especially when this is probably the happiest day of their life (no respect whatsoever) and who am I kidding? I can't even find someone to stand me or want to be with me longer than 6 months and these people are lucky enough to find each another and brave enough to take the next...
