Call it being nosy or whatever. Morbid curiosity. Or just so that I'm in tune with what the aunties in the office are be talking about. I should at least try to remember who's an actor or a so called local tv celebrity right? As much as it churns my stomach, I watch TCS 8 at times.
There is a current tv show titled "煮妇的假期" ("Housewives' Holiday"). I watched a grand total of 3 sporadic episodes, read the synopsis in between. I also learnt how it would end as a happy family. And I wanted to just throw something at the 3 lead characters. This tv programme is my definition of a horror show.
If this is the show to symbolize the traditional Singapore woman, then I'm afraid I want to strangle the 3 leads. The actors are good. So convincing till they're irritating. The script writer has got to be exaggerating. How can there be such petty conversation and concerns within a film???!
I'm sorry, but the topics of interest in the show seemed to be just so self-centred. There is no greater concern for anything else beyond the neighborhood. Surely, our women aren't generally like what the show portrays!
And sadly, such is the life of school-going children in Singapore where the ultimate goal is the number of As on the final year report card.
The worst- the male characters in the show are all wimps. The males are all portrayed to be almost chauvinistic and cavalier beings after marriage.
No wonder the aunties (young and old) in the office insist that men (and the relationship) are different before and after marriage. I do not subscribe to that thought. It isn't so, and it musn't be so.
Maybe the show has its merit. But I'm sure as hell not a fan.
Is it just me?

Would love to hear what you say about Red Thread and Fighting Spiders.
ok, now you made me wanna watch it! ;)
JM: the trailers hailed the show as 'distinctly singaporean'. that brings on shudders. if they can get over the fact that they look like they're acting, it might be good. i can't wait for them to open their mouths to check out the confused language/accents. ;p
cavalock: HAHAH. worth 2 watches. see if you diss it or love it just for what it is- pure entertainment.
altho i generally can't stand tcs serials, but i hope i could watch a little of this to see how terribly wrong it can go. haha...
