没有Alex 的第一天。

time really flies with alex tan. haha. it's like yeah it's the finale!! oh no. it's the finale.. if u have been to my fb, you will realise that i was rooting for win cheong. yes. because he really really convinced me the last episode that he will be a better guy than alex tan. i mean isnt alex tan very ya ya this season, like he thought michelle chia will confirm stay with him? and also when he starts to get jealous. oh my gosh. it's like the perfect man suddenly showing all his flaws. and win cheong had this something that alex didnt. (maybe it's his ever glowing pink in health cheeks) so yah. for a whole 24hrs i was rooting for win cheong. but hai. the last episode. okay la okay la. alex tan you win.

actually before i came home i was still thinking of something which i really want to blog about. people who you have a love-hate relationship with. you know there are some people in life that are so good you hate them? hahaha. like how they are always better than you, like flawless one leh, but you know they are just like you, a normal human being, but yet they can be so much.. better!! i mean i really hate these kind of people. but at the same time i really love them. it's like i dont know how to feel when i see them. hahahaha. but i guess they are very impt in my life, because they are mainly the ones who propel me forward. like how i am still lagging, i can do better because obviously these people are better than me.

and so maybe that's why i sort of felt for win cheong la. like 'i am always the number two' because there is this stupid alex tan in my life. but it's very difficult to not like alex tan. so when he left for US(maybe this is when he becomes chun li's dad. hahahahahahaa), i kind of felt quite sad for win?

but ya. perfect cut 2. didnt disappoint me at all. you know like how sequel tend to be bad? or somehow they seem to be inferior, or a gimmick to suck more out of the first season's fans? at least i felt perfect cut didnt la. i love season one (but i only started watching during the repeat) because they dealt with so many controversial issues and those very hush-hush kind of stuff. that it felt so shiok. it's like finally we are free, we have the freedom of speech in this society. while season two is a totally i love the story kind of drama. it's a very typical japanese kind of drama format. 13 episodes. one story in each story while the main characters grow along the way la. actually this was the reason why i was attracted to japanese drama, and it remain my favourite format of drama till today.

season two of perfect cut dealt a lot with ethics: what is right? what is wrong? alex tan plays the angel here, the doctor with a soul (did you see the magazine cover of him? it has the words 妙手仁心 on it) while win cheong the bad guy la, who chooses to operate on someone if it is challenging or it pays him well. and with each story, we see that people are not what they seem to be at first. even for those chinese ladies who go round cheating ah-pek's money.

but one thing i was quite surprised in the finale was the one on 没有Alex的第___天. oh my gosh. isnt this from my favourite abalone show? it's almost completely the same la. but i guess this is the best way to show how michelle chia felt in that 4-5 months when alex was gone. and the part win cheong was knocked down by the motorcycle? i thought it was a little forceful. and a little cliche. but the rest of the 13 episodes - perfect.

like i say la.it's very hard to find a really good singapore drama. esp after the brain drain a few years ago when quite a few hongkong directors left. yes it is getting better recently. but perfect cut is really one that is like thousand years difficult to meet one. and if u want to watch, i currently have all 26 episodes. can lend la, but must be gentle. if you break i will angry till explode. haha.

oh talking about that. all their 口頭禪s:
犯人
..到爆炸
依然嬌艷

haha. i just love emily tan leh. she is so funny. and wa. she found clement and sean tee. haha. yay. i was really rooting for her. u know in season one, alex is always the fierce one, and then you will see sky and her feeling scared when he scolds them? haha. super funny.

now i just feel rather down. no more alex tan i guess. unless they decide to go into season three. highly unlikely.




actually watching perfect cut reminds me a really old drama, back in 1999, which i doubt many watched. it's SNAG, or 新好男人 in chinese. starring wong hei and jeff wang. it was shown at those 11pm kind of drama. i really loved it then. but cos i was still in primary 5, and kids cant sleep so late,so my parents had me record with the vhs player and then to watch the next day la. and this show's the kind, even if i have only 5 min to spare the next morning, i also must spend my 5min to watch it. i have the ost now at home, very good ost also.

but apparently when it was shown, it didnt get that much viewership, despite wong hei very famous then. maybe it was shown too late. and at the same time, it's format is very very much similar to perfect cut, people could not accept it. it dealt with mainly on love. with wong hei as a bachelor and how he hopes to get a girlfriend, or at least some love la. very modern. too hip to be accepted then i guess.

i mean now people can accept perfect cut (okay. there are some 食古不化 people out there. will talk about it later on), i think if they choose to show SNAG now, it will get at least more acceptance than then. it is also largely those one episode one story kind of format. with each episode we see the character of the episode explore what is love? what does it mean by love?

and wong hei referred himself to as this volleyball position. but i cant remember the exact words now. urgh.

and hor. talking about people who still cannot accept perfect cut. i saw this short message that someone wrote to iweekly la. complaining why perfect cut 2 is such a big hoo-har when it's a superficial drama about plastic surgery. what the hell. you never watch then talk so much. superficial drama about plastic surgery? siao ah. u want not so superficial one go watch little nonya la. crazy. and then another person's tag i saw on a rather famous mediacorp high ranking guy blog la, something like 'i am not a superficial person, so i dont let my family watch perfect cut blah blah.. this society is full of superficial people..' hai. yet another lost sheep.
