On my recent obsession and some weird incident

I've been mad about TVB drama recently. Just finished watching the 40 episode long Moonlight Resonance (溏心風暴之家好月圓) yesterday. Took me almost a week to finish it up.


I was also watching Rolling Love (翻滾吧!蛋炒飯 / Fan Gun Ba! Dan Chao Fan ) aired on NTV7. The drama finished a few days back.


Somehow I could relate with both drama pretty well as both in some way reflected on my past experiences.

In life we need to take up sacrifices in order to maintain harmony with the people around us. Sometimes, temptation takes over and we tend to act our own selfish ways to achieve something that we want. However ultimately no matter what we do, we do it to protect what we love, be it ourselves, our loved once or even our friends.

On a side note, I had a very weird encounter today.

A lady came to my practice wanting to buy a bottle of contact lens solution. Apparently it was for her daughter that have just came out of confinement.

The strange thing is, the reason behind her wearing contact lenses.

According to the lady, her daughter's new born baby has an eye defect on one eye. She claimed that it was due to her not allowing her daughter to wear contact lenses while she was pregnant!!

She claims that, by wearing the contact lenses now, the child may be cured of his/her eye condition. I was more or less flabbergasted by the statement. I told that she should send the baby to see an eye specialist and not believe in scientifically unproven treatments.

She answered me back... "scientifically its not proven but logically its true".

She then gave me an analogy about a mom having an urge to eat and for no apparent reason, the child would salivate at the same time. WTF!!!

We still have this kind of people in this day in age.

I guess that's the wonders you see when you live in a rubber tapper town like me

no point argue with her.. truthfully, there are still a lot of things that cannot be scientifically explained.

I didn't really argue with her. However I do pity the child. I doubt she will have any proper treatment anytime soon.
