Chicken or Egg?

After catching the 9pm TCS drama, roughly translated as ' Whose chicken doesn't lay eggs?", i'm amazed at how low TCS can go after the merger with Channel U. Don't ask me why i'm watching it.. I'm too bored, too free, too crappy or simply being a potato.

The scriptwriter ought to be fired. But then again he must be wishing he is dead too, given the requirements of the show's valued sponsors (MCDS - Ministry of community development and sports)

1. Must get married.
2. Must pop babies.
3. Try IVF if you can't make it.
4. Unwed and knocked-up? NO abortion.
5. And remember to breastfeed your kid.
6. Career-minded women beware, you'll lose your husbands if you are not family-oriented!
7. Give ex-convicts a 2nd chance.
8. Entrepreneurial spirit.

The poor scriptwriter must have been forced to work the following points into the plot, thereby resulting in the absence of one.

Snippets of the terrible show:

--> A one night stand with a Jap photographer resulted in a pretty young lass giving birth to a baby ger. The father of the child supposedly died when the overloaded boat he was in sank. However.. he survived as he.. drifted in the sea for days clingling onto a piece of wood and was saved by fishermen!(*gags* I'm getting morning sickness.) They met each other again as she was staging a 'Let me breastfeed my baby' campaign at Jurong Point!

--> Must set up a business. Sell cakes, sell eggs, whatever.

--> A pretty ex-wife who can't keep her clothes on comes back to find her ex-husband. The current wife (played by Chen Liping) felt sorry for her and took her in. Is the scriptwriter brainless? No woman will feel sorry for a nubile creature who has shagged your man before and is 1. Prettier 2. Perkier 3. Slimmer 4. Sexier. In this case, the contrast is stark.

--> A mother-in-law who is so crazy about having a grandchild that she threatens screams and hits her daughter-in-law for not getting pregnant?!!@$% And makes her eat all kinds of weird chinese tonics.

--> The mother-in-law plotted to get her son to sleep with the younger ex-wife so that she would give her the much coveted grandchild.

--> Guy eventually did not have sex with ex-wife but does not know coz he was too drunk to remember?!

Enuf said.. This show is seriously screwed and i'm even more screwed to be watching it at all.
