Bengap

I just realised, to my horror, that I am a sucker for reality tv. The more thrashy it is, the more I am glued to the tv. Unless Ryan insists on watching cartoons, it's E Entertainment or Style Network all the way for me.

Just two nights back, I watched the Kardashians and I was deeply fascinated by all the drama that goes on in that family. That episode centred mostly on Kourtney & Scott's neverending problem. Here's a picture of them, if all you ever watch are CNA or Discovery Channel.


Lovely couple don't you think? Bahhh... I was totally disgusted by the whole drama. She, the stupid/stubborn/foolish/ baby mama who is totally blinded by 'love', and he, the drunk/irresponsible/im-s0-sorry-but-i-will-definitely- do-it-again boyfriend. I really do not understand girls (or guys, lah eh.. cos I know not all girls are gems either) that allow themselves to be stuck in a destructive relationship like this. Is love THAT blind? Or are they just plain stupid? What made me so angry watching the episode was to witness how Kourtney seemed to run back to her family whenever there were problems with Scott and how her family were all there for her, but the moment Scott came back with those puppy eyes, and pathetic pleading, she'll run back to him. And when her family tried to talk sense into her, she'll retort, " It's MY life. I will do what I think is good for me" or " Don't interfere" or "You are not me, so don't tell me what to do." If only she can see for herself, how pathetic she looked, crying like a baby...

But, it's reality tv anyway.. and Im sure it's not 100% true. What? You think Im an idiot? Scott might be an angel in real life for all we know! BUT, that doesnt me such things don't happen in real life...

Take this couple for instance. Rita & Aidil, actress & footballer who got married secretly in Thailand. Last few weeks, news of their marriage on the rocks made headlines and most people's reactions.."Ermm.... kahwin lagi tak mintak restu mak bapak."



This one... Shidee, who married his ex-gf's daughter without blessings (duh!) from her family.

And apparently, there's a trend in Malaysia where teenage girls run away with their boyfriends from Lombok, Indonesia.

Look at how crushed this girl's parents are. Ada anak dorang kisah? Don't think so.

And this one, after coming back to her family a few years after marrying and staying in Lombok. Tau nangis.. Podah!

And another one, also, after coming back after eloping with her bf (whom she married) in Lombok. Now pregnant, who does she come back running to?Her family, of course. Look at her dad! Ada anak dia kisah? Pooooodah!

SO, what do we get from all these? Love towards someone (who might be a jerk/liar/sweet-talker/whom you know only for a month/who said the sweetest things to you because he knows you will fall for it/who has and most probably hurt you) is more important than love towards FAMILY who has been there for you, who loves you, who cares about you? Fools. Fools. Fools.

The girls may try to defend themselves by saying," Heyyy!! If you give us your blessings from the start, this would not happen. SO, it's really YOUR fault!"

Let me ask you then, wich parents/family members in their right mind would not approve of your partner if they believe that that person you are so in love with is good for you? Which parent/family members do not want to see you being happy? Which parents/family members do not want you to have the best in life? And if for a moment, you even think that these people are out to get you, out to ruin your life, out to destroy your happiness.. well, it's unfortunate for that family to have someone they love think so lowly of them.

Im done. Being angry about things that I should just ignore doesnt do any good for myself. Let the fools continue being fooled. Im going back to work.
