While Koreans are specializing in telling the story of two lovers who brave the storm and sickness and death in order to be together, Singaporeans are specializing in telling the story of the two lovers after they got together (got married properly -> the contract marriage doesn't count).
Channel 8's drama is mostly about the conflict within family and marriage. Yesterday's episode was particularly good. I could almost relate totally to everything that happened. The usual commotion during funeral, the so-called affair. It's funny really when you watch a drama and you thought "hey.. that's so real, that's so much like something that happen to X or Y". Ya.. Singapore drama are never good enough to fantasize about some tragic romantic story but they are really good at being realistic.
Oh before I continue, that chick Melissa does look prettier and prettier (especially when she is angry ^^ ). I guess it was her over-the-top aggresiveness that turned me off earlier on.
Anyway, so this guy has a wife who earns more than he does, who is a CEO and basically, commanding and work oriented. He is a middle-aged man who only try to be happy and enjoy life. He finds a very friendly colleague who is pretty and teach Yoga. They got along well and of course, the idea of learning Yoga has to come and man being man.. he wants the lesson to be conducted at her home. You can guess the rest.
The thing is.. if you haven't watched the drama, you would have guessed wrongly. No, he didn't do anything to her physically. Some flirting, some awkward moment but overall, both managed to control their feeling.
Poor thing is.. the wife manages to find out about this yoga private lesson. She doesn't know the detail so she assumes what you assumed. She slaps the poor colleague, she throws tantrum at the husband's father funeral, she picks a fight, she locks herself inside the bedroom, she asks for explanation yet she refuses to listen (typical).
And without she realizing, she has just practiced the most effective way to drive her husband out of her life (and send him to another woman).
Been there, seen that.
It will be too easy to point out that the husband was wrong for all his flirting but I can tell you that the wife had her share of blame. The first step to reunite, though, is to stop blaming and start accepting.
Marriage.. As much as I.. ehm.. want it, it strikes fear into my heart.

So the lady boss from KK Hospital has emailed me with some good news today. There are few jobs I really want but they don't come to me, KK come instead. Ah.. it feels familiar, the situation.
