I have a confession to make. I am now a TVB series addict. However….I think I can still be saved eventhough my sons said, “DIE! Our maderrr has turned into a silai (housewife).” I told them the series is very interesting because it can make me cry and laugh. They know I am not someone who can easily cry watching soppy movies. I would laugh at people who cry watching TVs or movies.
However, Moonlight Resonance is not the every day series. The story is about a divorced couple with six children. So, naturally it is easy to tug on my heartstrings when the siblings are separated due to the divorce. The eldest son (played by Moses Chan, one of my favourite HK TVB star) was sent to watch over two other younger siblings at the step-mother side. So, the mom pleaded to him to tell the judge he wants to follow his step-mother. Wah…how can any sane woman not feel anything, right? Therefore, I had a nice time crying because in real life, I don’t get to cry that often, you see.
Anyway, I finished the 40 series within three days. But wait a minute, I didn’t spend 40 x 45 minutes just purely watching the mind numbing tales. I can kill two, three and even four birds with one stone. I will leave the series playing on one corner of my 20″ iMac. Then, I open another window to work, i.e. blogging to make money. I received an exceptionally large number of paid posts this week due to the long thanksgiving weekend. (the American probably didn’t want to do, so I get extra) Beside making money, I also read the political news in Malaysia, edit some photos, read up on psychology and visit some blogs.
Then, I have to wash and bath my little boy, cook the meals, go do volunteer work, attend class, go shopping, watch movie and do ‘godly stuffs’. So, I am not such a silai yet. I hope.
Silai means housewife. Not just any housewife but the busy body who stops you in the middle of the road to ask you when you are getting married or one who chides you for not wiping off the chocolate stain on your son’s cheek or the kind who prodded you for gossips or feed you with some. So, silai is not a very flattering persona. I definitely do not want to morph into that because I am awfully afraid of the shadow of a silai. Nay…the shadow of a super busy body silai whom people hate.
This is all the side effect of attending more than a month’s course on psychology. Now, I see personas and shadows everywhere. Imagine the little boy in the movie Sixth Sense whispering….I see dead people. But me? I see The Shadows and The Persona…..
Arrggh….I am rambling on the wrong blog! This should go on my personal blog but I cannot make new posts for 48 hrs due to some ‘agreement’. I better get back to finish my assignment. I am supposed to complete my papers and hand over to Father Huan by tomorrow. It is an exam! OMG, I hope I don’t have exam and school nightmares tonight.
