blast from a recent past

I'm on Radio.Blog right now, just cruisin around through the endless amount of songs. The best thing is ... No Retro

I was running out of songs to listen to and quite unexpectedly i decided, lets listen to F4.

During days when i was still very free and in school, i remembered I'll stay up on a school night just to catch their drama Meteor Garden. I didn't like them. No siree, I thought their acting was horrendous and singing was barely ok. Like top 28 of Singapore idol kind of quality. You wouldn't bother to even give a 2nd listen if they were on radio. Note i said listen, not look at.

BUT I digress, something must have kept me hooked right. Wasn't the cute guys with a stylist who was probably just as bad. Look at Jerry Yan's curry puff hair. Stylo ah? *chuckle*
It was the awesome plot which was just so un-chinese, I grew up on Hong Kong, Taiwanese and some good Singaporean chinese dramas and they just get more and more predictable. Especially the Singaporean Dramas.

1. Someone has an affair
2. Someone gets hospitalised. (From stroke usually, gets crippled, or he/she might already have been crippled but got pushed by the villian or something)
3. Someone gets pregnant (Usually the evil villian mistress)
4. For a mistress to get pregnant someone has to have an affair right?
5. Ugly person - Seems to be the "In" thing now.
6. Cars, why can't the lead actor actress not drive? U know explore the other forms of commuting from point A to point B. Walk, ride a motorbike, cycle, take a bus or MRT?

And the list goes on.

Only much later was it that I realised that i was hooked to the storyline. An adaption of a Japanese Manga Hana Mori Dango. Nice.

Lets put it this way, the cute guys didn't hurt either.

Something happened yesterday, I was out at dinner and when I was about to pay the bill, to my horror the restaurant said that it only accepts cash terms. I was quite mortified and had to rush to the nearest ATM to make a withdrawal. 2nd thing i realised was that the ATM card that i brought out with me had no money in it. The other one i left at home. Smart move Soapy.

You can call it a test of fate and trust. But i rang up 3 of my most trusted people, frantic and flustered. The money came 15 minutes later.

I can only say that I put my trust and confidence in the right people. Its not about monetary value. But its about faith and friendships and how much you'd actually go out and help someone in need. Not just a plastic facade of what something seems to be.

If I can discribe what I'm feeling now in terms of food, I feel like I'm having a bowl of miso salmon broth - warm, hearty, absolutely refreshing.
