出人头地

There have been a lot of uncertainties over polices from our neighbour in the north. First it was whether Singaporeans need to fill up the embarkment card, next it was whether our cars are banned from all petrol kiosks within a 50 km radius from JB. hahhaa.. I am so confused and so are many other Singaporeans. hahaha..

Some of my Malaysians friend said it's part of their political feature ie policy changes as and when they like. It is because of these reasons that made their political landscape exciting and fun. Oh no! hahha.. I am like wow.. That's an interesting denotation. My friend said if it wasnt all these, Malaysia would be pretty boring. Well...

Recently, i have been watching old Mediacorp productions other than TVB serials. Remember 出人头地。Oh my god. I was mentioning to ken and he was like, oh no, pple will know our age if they knew we know the show. hahhaa... I love the theme song. Nice. I think it was sung by 童安格。 The show star Edmund Chen, Zoe Tay, Aileen Tan, 梁维东,李南星,孙宝玲,严丙量,陈国华,陈美光,陈蒙,周全喜。 Very powerful show. It even replicate the collapsed of New World Hotel in 1986. Power!

At night, they re-run another old production, 暖流。hahaha.. Ooooh. This show i remembered. Cos one of its character, named 包丽萍 had the same name with my cousin. hahhaa... I was laughing and telling my mum abt it this morning. I think the show was aired in 1989 or 1990, around the same time as 出人头地。hahhah... This show features Edmund Chen (yes again), 陈秀环,朱厚仁,夏川,李茵朱,洪慧芳,戴鹏,严丙量(yes again),郑思佩 and some others whom i cant recall their names. hahahha.. Interesting leh....

I still think old productions are so much better than recent ones. Sad to say, production now lack of something that we used to have in the past. I dunno wat is it. Probably the story? hahha... The stories now are more materialistic and tend to feature the rich. 一房半厅一水缸 feature the lower income group which eventually turned out to be a successful production. More Singaporeans can relate better. Well, probably we are getting richer, taste has changed. hahha... Anyway, i shall end with lyrics of 出人头地。

在拥挤的街头 你在忙碌的追求什么
在孤寂的角落 你知道的失去的也多
在拥有的时候 你是否曾经好好珍惜
在失去的时候 是否依然那么在意
一生要失败几回 才知道成功的意义
一生要爱过几回 才了解爱的真谛
一生要失败几回 才知道成功的意义
一生要爱过几回 才了解爱的真谛

I shall correct myself, the name is not 暖流,its 浮沉! hhahaha... thanks sien! hahahah... I couldnt read the name on TV. So i presume it was 暖流! Oh man! We love old shows!!!!
