The last time i…

Wore school uniform, i had to get up early before the sun rose. To make sure i had energy to stay alert and concentrated during lessons, i had to sleep early. In order to do so, i couldn’t waste my time on doing nothing at home. I had to spend all the time to finish homeworks and did revision.

Walked into a dark room and watched projection on the large screen in cinema, i must force myself to get secured tickets. I would more likely to go personally to buy tickets and chose my favourite seats. After that, i risked my 2 hours (normally) in the room on deciding whether the movie was worthwhile or the otherwise.

Held a microphone with my right hand, i used up my voice to present the song. I liked to pick variety of songs just as a test to know which song i was able to sing it well so that i could sing it again on the next visit. However, i was my only audience.

Burning a hole in my wallet for a superb good-looking T-shirt, i had a terrible time to actually find one. The nice shirt was never cheap and cheap shirt was never nice. Eventually, i hated to go shopping because i knew i would be sad if i couldn’t buy any for me.

Had lunch with my friends, i spent the whole afternoon sitting and chatting. It seemed like we had so many topics to talk about. Most of the restaurants were always full and it would not be nice if we sat there the whole day. Even we found one, i hated to admit that i was depressed to go back home after having a wonderful day.

Ironically, i would like to do so.

Imaginary

If only i could……

Matt Parkman, a police officer who has the ability to read people’s mind. Eventually, his power develops into something more. He can control people’s movement. He is the only person who can discover all the truth. He has a loving heart and he will fight till the end for the people he loves.

Kevin Walker, the fourth children in the family. He managed to survive in the Walker family which full of madness. Secrets can’t be kept in the family as everyone will take turn to know the truth, good and bad ones. Due to the fact that he’s homosexual, he rather feels alone sometimes, like an exchange student in the family. He has supports by his parents and siblings. He becomes the family lawyer and being rasional handling his father’s will after the death. He has a major problem with his love companion. He does all the right things to help his family.

Starting the first season of Lost, i began to become addicted to the drama. Then, more interesting dramas were being produced and attracted my attention. Soon, i became a fans. Things changed along with the drama. For example, i was ‘lost’ during the third season of Lost. Too much mysteries and the complexicty of the storyline made me to give up on that show. However, i completed it and now i’m more clearer as many questions were answered during the end of third season. Officially, there will be 6 seasons. Hope that it will be a good show with satisfying ending.

Ghost Whisperer showed up and i fell for her within seconds. Besides the each individual episodes, a major storyline is peppered around the whole season. For example, we learn the stereotype of the show and introduction of the dark side for first season. Then, for second season, the airplane crash connected to the dark side which in turn reveals the rising power of the dark side. For the still running third season, we knew that all generation of Melinda Gordon serves Grandview as ghost whisperer and helped a lot of people. There is a buried city under the ground and haunted by many ghosts.

When you just thought this is just the mighty power of Ghost Whisperer, the webisodes were produced, The Other Side. It revolves a ghost named Zach who is learning to deal with dead world. He hunts down his friend who he thought was responsible to the death. Under influence of the dark side, he causes his friend in an accident. He feels guilty and there is a surprise. The producers cross these 2 shows together making Zach appears in Ghost Whisperer at the season 2 finale. He asks for help but before Melinda can do so, Zach is sucked away by the dark side, ending the first season of The Other Side. Surprisingly, the second season is ready, showing what happens to Zach after the mess.

Prison Break is the perfect plan. Michael Scofield plans till every finest details to get his brother out of jail. Turns out that the whole thing is a secret trick used for presidency. Season one revolves how he breaks out of the prison along with other inmates. Failed to board the plane, they run away at season two. We get to see how they escape from being hunt down by fbi. Unfortunately, most of them died along the show. Finally, all charges of his brother are dropped down. One of the government secret agent is killed making Michael sent to the prison in Panama. A new plan for the second escape is urgently needed.

Ugly Betty is quite a good remake of the original drama i watched long time ago, Betty La Fea. It is rather a typical US drama with many hidden plots inside waiting to be discovered. Each episode makes us thinking what is the value of beauty. Which is more important, having good personality with knowlegde or having good look on the face? Apparently, no equality in this show. Let’s watch how Betty turns ugly into beautiful.

The latest of the favourite drama, Brothers & Sisters. It is rather a mature drama dealing with adult world. Besides some sex scenes, there will quite a number of on screen kiss between men. However, they potray it in a positive way. I don’t feel weird or gross watching the show. In fact, moral values and the most important thing is that family values are embeded in this show. This is the word, family. No matter how hard is the life, no matter how bad is the arguement and fight, no matter how far you travelled, no matter how serious the problem being encountered, each of the family members will be there to support each other. They will always be the ones who love each other despite the world had ended.

May the Writer Guild Strike ends soon,
and hope Heath Ledger finds his peace, the man of the Brokeback Mountain and the best Joker in batman series. I will be watching it.
