TV Review

Look at me, everyone. I’m so bored I’m reviewing TV shows! Well I’m not exactly bored. I have so much to do actually.

So anyway, I seem to have a thing for the Discover and Discovery History channels on Astro. I’m always fond of history as it is, although it surprises me why I got such below average marks for history during high school but ended up with top grade for SPM. It’s a mystery to me.

Back in the day I watched Datin Diaries almost weekly. But it’s been several weeks since I last watched it and I caught a glimpse of it again tonight. The thing I notice about that show is that, despite its vast cast, most of the characters are generic and you can guess who plays what roles. From watching the series so far I have concluded the following:

1. Old men are all Datuks.

2. Old madames are all Datins.

3. Young females are all mistresses of the Datuks.

4. Young males are all the Datins’ toy boys. Except for that doctor.

5. There are no happy couples in that story because all the Datuks are too busy having affairs with young women while the Datins are too busy either a) tending to their very succesful business, or b) being pretty and attending/throwing parties, or c) exchanging toy boys.

And some of the mistresses are even daughters of other Datuks. So those Datuks are actually marrying their friends’ daughters and their friends, their own daughters, so they beocme one, big, messed up family.

It’s so fucked up it’s actually interesting.

And now I’m watching a late night Chinese movie on NTV7. There’s a girl who looks like Cecilia Cheung and she’s hot. And the theme song is a famous song of Theresa Ting’s that we used to sing in  Mandarin class hahaha. Man I miss that song! I forgot the title, but it had moon, and love and something else or something in it. Nostalgia. :D

And the guy is singing it to the girl at the end hahaha so funny!

Ta’ra.

p/s OMG it WAS Cecilia Cheung! Hahahaha!
