That Stupid Club

I was just chan­nel surf­ing this evening while wait­ing for “Sports­cen­ter” to start at 10pm when I chanced upon “Hon­our and Pas­sion” on Chan­nel 8.  And for the next 20 min­utes or so, I was sim­ply engrossed with the Medi­a­Corp Drama series.

You see, in that short span of time, I felt I have seen two inter­est­ing roman­tic sce­nar­ios which urges me to address it in this entry.

Love Crime A :

Rui En learns that her dad (Huang Weny­ong) has been recently smit­ten by a young (and hot) lady friend in the form of Ong Ai Leng, recently.  Since their meet­ing, Mr Lucky SOB has out­right rejected the affec­tions of a long-time fam­ily friend (Hong Huifang) whom through the years have been played the role of a sur­ro­gate mother to Wenyong’s children.

My Ver­dict :

Aww… ain’t that a shame? While Hong Huifang her­self once played the role of the tramp back in her hey days of ‘Sam­sui Woman” (which was what, 1985?) You can’t blame Wenyong’s heart­less deci­sion. I mean, look at the pic­tures I posted !!! Have you seen Ong Ai Leng? Seri­ously! This is a no-brainer. There is sim­ply no way in God’s green Earth would you find a red blooded man who would do oth­er­wise.  I don’t even care if she’s a schem­ing bitch who’s eye­ing on his CPF money, from what I see, no amount of SAF money can buy a man such good luck.  Whats the chances of a bloke of his age and looks scor­ing with a woman like Ai Leng?

Red­con One* to the Encik Huang.

Love Crime B :

Mr Com­mando, Tay Ping Hui learns that the woman of his dreams, Artillery Cap­tain Feli­cia Chin only has eyes for his own baby brother played by Bryan Wong. Like all love-triangles, Bryan of course, has no inter­est in Feli­cia (or he prob­a­bly don’t dare to incur the wrath of his red beret and prob­a­bly half-insane elder brother).

Later on, the lovestruck dum­b­ass com­mando has really per­formed the ulti­mate gut-wrenching love-kamikaze.   After learn­ing about Felicia’s birth­day lunch/dinner date with Bryan, Ping Hui man­aged to secretly arranged a pair of singing Indian wait­ers to bring out a cake plus a present (a Tag Heuer) for the pleas­antly sur­prised Feli­cia, while plead­ing for Bryan through SMS to “grant her her dream date”.

*Cue : Ping Hui leav­ing the restau­rant with his heart in two*

My Ver­dict :

Now some­body pleeeeeeeeeeze explain this to me.

Boy meets girl. And girl goes for …the Gay guy.

Hello?????  There was even a scene where the baf­fled Rui En (she’s their sis­ter) even asked Feli­cia why she would go for Mr Savvy rather than the grunt.

Felicia’s answer? “Per­son­al­ity clash, too quiet for her own taste, and…she rel­ish a chal­lenge!”

At that moment of time, I nearly fell over from the chair.

I truly believe, the only rea­son why girls go for the gay guy is sim­ply ‘cos women love to change a guy. And what bet­ter chal­lenge to the woman than to ‘revert’ a homo­sex­ual back to a straight guy through the power of her…pu..erm..love.

All I can say is.. Good luck to your ‘mis­sion’, woman, you’ll need it.

Before I end this rant,  I must give com­men­da­tions to Ping Hui’s por­trayal of being the love­fool.  His awk­ward expres­sions in the pres­ence of Feli­cia is really spot-on.  But the real sur­prise here is Bryan’s straight faced per­for­mance.  Gone are the snappy bitchy tones you see of his nor­mal self, and instead, we get this super cool suc­cess­ful busi­ness dude. Heck, even I would have thought the man was straight.

And by the way, can some­body tell me when in the world did Feli­cia become such a hot babe? Now there wasn’t one scene in the 20 odd min­utes where we have Feli­cia in uni­form, so don’t go telling me its her in the no.3 / no.4.

Wow. It is really amaz­ing how much changes a good hairdo can do to a per­son.  One day she was this skinny under­weight girl with really bad mush­room hairdo and now, she’s this super and matured hot WOMAN in SAF outfit.

Y-U-M-M-Y.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I am in the mood for some Vitagen.
