Just a tribute

Singaporean drama series are improving tremendously in course of time. Although yet to match the awesome screening effects of Hong kong films or the astounding screenplay of Hollywood ones, some Singaporean films surprisingly have good storylines.

The last two Singaporean drama series that I pursued was Stepping Out and To Mum with Love (Yes, I do waste some precious time on Chinese shows although infact I know nuts of their language). With excitement, comedy, love and many other dramatic affairs all blended in it, the latter is really something to talk about.

Here's a brief summary of the show.

To Mum with Love is basically a show that portrays a mother's love for her children. It starts with a rich man killing his wife and throwing her body out of his apartment (rather absurd heh). The body lands on a woman, and thus killing the unfortunate soul. The woman (the main actress) is a mother of four. She has a daughter and three sons.

The daughter (Michelle Saram!) is a super-hot-chick-but-money-minded woman. Ironically, she falls in love with the murderer's nephew, who in turn acts poor in hope of changing her money grubbing attitude. Furthermore, the eldest son is a spy and the other son is a timid guy who works in a bakery and falls in love with his pregnant colleague. The youngest son moreover is an intellectually deprived school student who is often bullied and teased by his fellow schoolmates. Unable to cope with the agony of losing his mother, the youngest son discovers a way to revive his mother after reading a comic book. As a ghost with limited magical powers, the reincarnated mother does her best to help each of her children with their love and career affairs. In doing such, she discovers her murderer and the way she takes revenge on him is really fun and entertaining to watch.

The ending (today's episode) was far the most touching part of the show. The mother had to leave her children as her time on earth ran out. Her final words uttered were extremely deep and meaningful. Having a soft heart and an inclination to cry during sad moments, I couldn't hold back my tears. 'Stoning' on the couch after the final acknowledgements scrolled to an end, a sudden tirade of depressing thoughts began to linger around my mind. I realized that life is short, and we have to cherish those around us for death is erratic. Hence, the show somehow slapped me in the head and revitalized my efforts to search for the purpose in life.

Going against the momentum... Guys! ya gotta take a look at michelle saram!! she's damn hot wei!
