i was just back from thank-you-dinner with the idiots, and decided to catch some tv before bathing. somehow managed to catch the rerun of 稀游记2, some ch8 show about singaporeans staying overseas. i think it's one of the rare mandarin shows with 质感. there's way more depth in it than most variety shows, and so much more watchable than the serious-social-phenomenon-and-politics-but-not-really ones. i like how it is set in exotic faraway places, talking about real pple in real relationships. i like belinda the host too. she doesn't speak the best mandarin, oh but seriously i think she's way under-rated.
the show is not variety, nor travel guide. neither comedy, nor melodrama. it's neither here, nor there. it's just ok. and that's what i like about it.
sometimes we envision our lives as either enriching, or empty. feelings as either happy, or sad. but like some lyrics i don't remember from which song, life is not like an advertisement. for most of the time, i'm probably dangling between yes and no, in a blur of vagueness and uncertainty. things are not exactly the best, but really life is ok.
just ok lor.
and i find some kind of weird beauty in that.
