De one with Desperate Housewives

Relaxing weekend

Desperate Housewives Seasons 4: Sizzling secrets involved the efforts of over 150 staff. It took weeks to produce, more than two months to have the DVD shipped into Singapore. And less than two days for me to complete the entire 17 episodes. Hehe.

Ask me why I enjoy watching this drama which is commonly stereotyped to be nothing educational except mindless domestic household issues, housewives bitching and sex-appeals for boys' fantasies? Tsk tsk, ask me, ask me! Hmm, sorry to disappoint but all these do not come close to my reasons.

I adore the drama simply because I get to learn about people's behaviour and they way they react to issues. No offence but most locals lack of expressions in their reaction to our behaviour, actions. Like what are people normally say/can't say/better "said" through our actions (like holding hands, hugging another to comfort others). Of course, not saying I pick everything up, I just pick up certain phrases which I could mean instead of having to use a string of sentences to mean what I want to say. Call me noosey-parker or what, I guess I love to see and understand about people, so I do know how to deal with them. It's like practising review questions in your tutorials so you know what to do when the live examination occurs.

Not much moral issues to learn but hey, we can still benefit some wits from these amazingly interesting characters. Then again, I must say, there were a few moments which never failed to touch my heart. The scripts were just great.

With the good comes the not-so-good. Every season there was a mystery to be revealed. The one in this season wasn't really suspensingly unfolded. Apart from mysterie, the seasons always end with a wedding. There was a gay wedding but wasn't really completely filmed. No newly-weds vow-exchange scene. Not glamourous, breath-taking wedding-settings. Oh well, perhaps scene-cuts in fear of anticipated controversies from the audience's cognitive.

Can't wait for the fifth seasons to come. I'll wait for the original merchandised seasons to be out! Meantime, anyone wants to borrow my 4 sets of Desperate Housewives? Rental's at say S$40 a day? Just kidding.. Hehe

De one with Office

While I was on study leave

A meteoroid hit my office which launched cold war. To make things worst, there was female politics. No, I'm not gonna bitch about. My ethic sensitivity is more than adequate to discuss the factual details.

What I need to say is, I hate politics. I can understand fully it is inevitable. But hey, most of the time, just think, "Is this necessary?"

Alright, Clara's gonna pinch my elvish ears if she hears this "Or what is it with women".

I don't like politics. Not a single bit. You can bitch about someone or something. But hell, just say your piece and forget about it after completing your last sentence about that someone. Of course, not saying with the motive to spread rumors for "campaign" purpose.

What I prefer? Just be honest. Call me naive but I think, it's not cool at all creating an unpleasant work environment. And more critically, to be in the cross-fire territory.
