Being the child of docs, I've been raised to not be squemish. When I was a kid, my dad used to talk about his autopsies during dinner(anyone else listens to how dead bodies getting their throats sliced to check on the tongue during dinner?), there was also the time when my dad left me and my brother outside the morgue at nite when he had to check on something, I also used to help my dad circumcise other kids, oh and I also think I had a sneak peak at an autopsy video of one of Mona Fendi's victims that my dad brought back.

Now though, after watching the whole season of House MD, I'm pretty glad that I didn't really try to get into medicine. Oh get me a dead thing to touch and I'd not be squemish at all, but show me someone whose hurting and I'd pretty much feel the pain. Empathy? A lil bit I suppose, most of the time I just try not to care, it hurts less that way. Other points are pretty much the obvious; I'm too lazy, medicine is too much work with too little payback,so on and so forth. Yup, I made the right decision alright.

I've always been a big fan of TV series. CSI, 24, Lost and Prison Break are my faves atm with a few others I watch on and off. I guess it's pretty much agreed upon that TV series be it from the US, Korea or Japan pretty much reflects the country of origin's cultures, social interactions and so and so forth. This however makes me ponder... what do people see when they watch Malaysian TV series or movies?

I suppose it's pretty unfair of me to just label Malaysian drama and cinema industry as crappy, but to tell you the truth, there is no other word for me to use and do it justice. Based upon what I said in the paragraph above,from the dramas, people would think that most Malaysian girls are "gedik" semacam while the guys are extremely "poyo". The portrayals of these dramas are so bad, pretty much nothing at all reflects how Malaysian are in real life. Be it the way normal people talk or our actions. The plot lines are so unbelievable that I could space out just thinking about them. That's why I prefer watching Indonesian films rather than going to a Malaysian one. At least when they act it doesn't look like acting. Or were the Malaysian actors acting as actors who suck and I just missed that part? Support the local film industry? uh.... give me a few years and if some better actors, directors and scriptwriters pop up then I just might, it's looking pretty bleak though.
