Star Awards 25th Drama Anniversary Show

This is dedicated to all my JB friends. Reason being that, only you all will understand the story behind this.

I was watching TCS’s Star Awards 25th Drama Anniversary Show, it brings back so much memories….

Long long time ago (ok, it was 1982, not B.C era)…before there was Astro, before there was Wa lai tai, before that was CSI , before there was ugly betty, before TCS, there was SBC, Singapore Broadcasting Company.

All the eighties baby that grew up in JB, we never watch TV 1, or TV2. We only watch SBC, especially, Channel 8. I tell u, u dunno TV drama until u watch channel 8. All those drama we grew up watching. I remember I watch my first ‘provocative’ bed scene in channel 8, I think it was ‘Bobo’ acted by Zoe Tay. I remember calling ah voon, my childhood fren and tell her faster watch! It’s a sex scene!! ( haha, okla, nothing r-rated. Just two actors kissing n rolling on bed) haha… but that was my very first sex education!

Remember how crazy we were for the “ shuang tian zhi jun’! it was the first show abt gambling n casino, forget abt las vegas!!! We have the better one! We have lee nan xing, all ever so charming ( I met him in person once, n he is so good looking in person) remember Zoe Tay’s short hair! How we were crazy over her, she was an icon to us then.

Remember “feng shen bang”? remember how we were falling head over hell with chow chew meng’s character. He was the most handsome goddess ever!!! And the story broke our heart, take our tears! We will never forget, it thought us love.

Remember the volleyball drama, I started my failed volleyball career because of that ( and yes, I suck badly!)

Oh… and ‘mi li ye’, gosh it scared the hell out of us! Until today, I still feel very uneasy looking at butterflies!

remember 'he ping de tai jia", the story abt world war II. i think its the best show ever, remember those horrible rape scene... the cruelty of the japanese army... it make us thankful for the peace we have now...

How can we ever forget the entire rival between Zoe Tay and Fann Wong! We were pro Zoe Tay, so we hated Fann Wong, n criticized her like mad!!! Haha… so funny… its amazing how we use to care abt things that doesn’t relate to us at all.. we young… everything matters then….

Ah… there is this show abt fireman right? And another abt marine one?? I think shen xing xin was in it. I love him. He is wat u call a man! I think there is very few actor now in TCS ( formerly kwon as SBC”) can live up to them then.

Oh… this remind me, that show stared by li nan xing abt share market one… with that girl…erm… ivy lee!!! Gosh, don’t we just hate her! Her annoying character and bad acting! Her career went down hill since then. But I think she made a come back with a much improved acting.

And how can we forget “family reunion”. That was a good show. With such powerful acting from xie shao kuang, huang bi ren and chen shu cen. And that little boy that acted as xie shao kuang’s son. Wat a great acting, giving Dakota Fenning a run for her money.

U all know that I can go on days, talking abt it. It just too much memories. It was part of growing up. Haha, they call us the tv kids. But seriously, our childhood will not be the same without channel 8.

So I dedicated this to all my JB frens. For sharing the same memory, for all the fun we have discussing abt the dramas. for the late nights thinking whether is zoe tay better or fann wong ( of coz zoe wins hands down). for the tears n the laugh we share... 25 yrs past...we are still here... still loving the same memory.... still dreaming....still believe that hapiness not only happends in drama... we still believe....
