Man of the House @ NTV7

I've just managed to watch this interesting drama online. Its our usual common local drama which pictures a local family and the usual crisis surrounding a family. But what makes this drama interesting to me is that I see part of my life being portrayed in the drama itself.

How the eldest son Zhen Jianyi being constantly misjudged and misunderstand by his dad, his working lifestyle (Though, Im not as lazy as he is but I've changed numerous jobs which my dad constantly reminded me that I can change 12 jobs per year and still come home for Chinese New Year and in return, i told him, not only CNY, I can even come back for Christmas, Hari Raya, Deepavali, Gawai, wesak, labour day...... n etc.... :P) and how he met a gal of his dream but after finding out that she is super rich, and all other suitors are rich and famous, came to a self realization and retreats to a corner and didn't dare to even think bout persueing her anymore because of such a big gap in society value.

The 2nd son, Zhen Jian’er's relationship with his other half who is constantly giving him problem and her distrust causing him problem at work. Her forever "always have something destructive to say" mother-in-law" and feeling of being caged.

The 3rd son, Zhen Jiansan passion for what he wants in life is being restrained by his dad who wants him to be what his dad wants of him.

Well, here is a proof of what my friends who kept on reminding me that my life is like right out of a film / drama script..... lol

Living out of the unexpected

McFarlane's Concept of a Zodiac Cancer

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have appreciate life. There was a time in life, when whatever I do, I do it for the sake of challenging myself to the max, neglecting the consequences even if its ruining my life. Throwing away everything asking for the end. If it's not for this life, I would not have so much experience to dwell in.

Spending my life, throwing away everything back then is really a big wake up call for me now.

Appreciate life, There is more to life than meets the eyes. You are the least unfortunate people in the world. At least, you don't have to go through what I went through.

Be Glad
Be happy
Be appreciative

A very tempting offer

Just today, I've been offered a very tempting offer.. to stop torturing myself, putting myself in all these hardship and fly home, get a stable job, settle down and who knows, find a girlfriend, get married, have kids, buy a house and live till old age in a subtle way.....

But... BUT.... BUT.... wait... I don't treat all these sacrifices as a torture on myself.. nor are they consider useless hardship... if I give up now, I will be lifeless.. and a selfish person. I have so many people looking up to me for motivation and inspiration. Im their role model. If I give up now, what would happen to them? the faith I've been preaching, the goal I've been pushing them to achieve... The Dream... YES! the DREAM I've always chase after, the DREAM I've motivated others to walk towards...

YES! I've to live moderately for the past week cause a colleague of mine has been hogging the jobs for himself after he was place in charge so he can have all the money to himself. YES! I've almost fainted because I've only left RM8 in my pocket and I've to live with 1 slice of roti Chanai a day for 3 days, YES! I've to work non-stop without sleep for 3 days cause I need the extra cash.. YES! I've push myself pass my limits because I was racialy discriminated and kick out of a film due to my race which caused me to have a metal spring pierced into my knee during a practice which they purposely threw at me to make me give up, YES! I've to walk 1hr in the dark during the wee hours in the morning to catch the train down to a shoot in KL for couple of days straight, YES! I've to live on bread alone for a whole month because I was very tight on my budget to support myself to be an actor..... YES! YES! YES!.... but its all worth it.. who says the path to success is easy and straight... Im willing to die for my dream......

A life without a dream is a life without a soul
