Riddikulus!

I've been posting a lot of photos lately, huh? My last sixteen posts had at least a photo in each of them!

Well, time to break the chain. I've got a story to tell instead.

When I was in Kuantan, I watched a Malaysian Chinese series on TV, Homecoming 2 (because someone turned the TV on).

I don't know the whole story, but the situation was like this: A (a guy) was going to marry this girl B. But his ex-wife C had cancer (in its final stages, she's going to die any time) and had moved in with him (and his family) because she had no one to take care of her.

When I started watching, B had called off the marriage, because she found that A still prefered C. Then she moves out (quietly) to A's sister's house (both B and C don't have any family...why did A find two girls like that? :s ).

And here comes the ridiculous part: When A hears that B had moved out, he runs all the way to his sister's place (just in time to see B coming out of the gate, but I'm not complaining about that, that's just for drama). He even has beads of sweat on his face when he arrives there. And I'm thinking, why didn't he drive or get a taxi? Who runs around in Malaysia anyway?

Okay, fine. They want drama, so they made him run. But then later in the episode he takes C out to eat half-boiled eggs, which she is craving in the middle of the night (crazy girl, is she sick or is she pregnant?). She even wanted to go to a specific place where they used to go -_- (sudahlah curi suami orang, mau bising-bising lagi...)

Anyway, they happen to meet B and another acquaintance (who is quite rich, they tell me...but then so is A (this will be relevant later)). After eating (and here C places down her knife and fork after eating her half-boiled egg - who eats half-boiled egg with a knife and a fork?! -_- ) A suddenly rushes off and comes back with a box - he had just bought a camera. He says that he wants to take a photo of C in this shop, because they might not get another chance) They take out the camera (which miraculously has the battery/batteries already inserted) and want to take a photo...but before they can do so, C collapses!

Then they rush to the hospital. Running. SOMEONE IS DYING AND YOU RUN TO THE HOSPITAL?!?!!!! These two are rich guys, don't expect me to believe that they don't drive. And even if they hadn't brought their cars, taxis are available! This is Malaysia...no one RUNS to the hospital unless if it's next door! -_-

Ridiculous-o-meter?
1 point for A running to his sister's house.
1 point for eating half-boiled egg with a knife and a fork (and on a plate).
1 point for buying a camera instead of using a super high-tech phone to take a photo.
1 point for having a lift-out-and-use camera inside the box.
And a zillion points for running to the hospital when someone is dying. (and they still hadn't reached there when the episode ended...what a cliffhanger! *sarcastic*)

At the end of that episode (which was the first episode I saw), I was already thinking, "This is ridiculous!" (I saw the series twice, and the second time made me think, "What on earth were the writers thinking?")

But let's not go into the second one...the first one takes the cake. (or maybe we will...if I feel like it :P )

(If you're a fan of Harry Potter you'll understand the title of this post :P)

Edit: This kinda makes me think of this Youtube video about running to the airport :P
