$120

Is this the market rate for wedding dinners at a 5-star hotel?
Ooops, I just realised that I may have given too little ...

Wedding & Marriage

Attended a wedding last nite. As the parents (whom I acquainted with in the course of current work) were well-off, the son, I gathered from the video montage and the sharings, speeches at the wedding dinner, that he has had a good life that not many of us get. It was said that he learnt flying, he goes for watches that costs more than $20K etc.....wow, but he displayed his quite cheeky/playful side of him during the wedding dinner. He is 29. He and the wife presented the mothers with bouquets of flowers and the fathers with gifts to show their appreciation. Quite touchy.
Marriage is certainly a journey. Infact, I have finished watching the 20 episodes Taiwan Drama which I started last week - it is about couplehood, marriage, etc....somehow, it tugs my hearts which our mediacorp dramas fail to. My wife commented that the acting was no big deal (when she caught me glued to the laptop for many late nights) but the plot and acting just 'touched' me that I 'chased and chased'. The title is "I Do."

I don't deny that I sort of favour the male lead - Blue Lan Zheng Long. Somehow, he just have the charisma to act in such romantic yet touchy dramas - a more recent production that he was in is "Easy Fortune, Happy Life".

What tugs me is the way the actors acted and the manner they 'delivered the script'. It is just so natural, so 'real' and so so moving. But in true reality, marriage life aint that perfect but this drama certainly reminds us to cherish our marriage. Again, messaging is subtle yet powerful.

Run & Watch

Most people take up 'running or jogging' to keep fit and stay in shape.
Some do so to spend time with their family ... as well.
For me, I usually 'run or jog' alone cos I want to take the time to think ... or sort out some matters.

I am glued to another Taiwan Idol Drama ...again. In fact, I have not been watching MediaCorp drama for a while liao. Somehow, I find the storyline/plot stale and bored. The anticipated anniversary blockbuster 'TOGETHER" will be shown next Mon. Will watch to see if it is worth following. The Taiwan drama that I am watching has a simple story ...like most of their dramas ...but somehow, the acting is just cool... or am I attracted to lead actor/actress? haha
