The man of my dreams.. yeah.. get real!!

Recently, I have been extremely hooked on tv shows and drama about the medical world. In my years in school, I would love watching The Medicine Woman starring Jane Seymour. Just watching that series is like having my dinner.

Although I am not fond of seeing blood gushing everywhere on the hands and human organs, I wouldn't mind watching them in a drama. But if it was a documentary, I would just change the channel since I'd feel as if the operation was done on me. That was one of the reasons I did not take Biology as a subject in SPM but took accounts instead.

After the Medicine Woman, came Chicago Hope. It was kind of a more modern medicine world and a bit of drama here and there. Followed by E.R. with the gorgeous George Clooney in the first season (am drooling here). Speaking of George Clooney, there is another handsome hunk in the show - Noah Wyle. I'd really daydream of meeting a boyfriend with the looks of Noah Wyle (well at that time, I would be attracted to foreign men and it was no problem for me) and get attracted to pan-asian looking guys.

This series also reminded me of a friend who told me that her father thought that this was a ghost and a thriller because the of the title -ER (which he pronounced as err and not e.r.). Pe' , if you're reading this, I want you to know that I miss those days. Same goes to Cha, Cik Tun, I'm and Za.

What is it that attracts me?

Today, there are 2 competing series about medicine world - Grey's Anatomy and House. Both series are different in the attraction. I mean Grey's Anatomy is more of the medical college love drama between the residents and the interns. House on the other hand is a series about a kind of a weirdo doctor but has a brilliant mind and solves cases just by sitting in his office and letting his staff do all the check up and he'll figure out what the patients have and cure them by his staff's report. Dr. Gregory House is a heartless doctor on the outside and is a total weirdo. But nevertheless, I am so in love with his character. And very attracted too.

Anyway, in the recently in the Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday, 16th of January, the lovable Dr. House or his real name Hugh Laurie was named as the best actor in a drama. Grey's Anatomy was also awarded the best drama or mini series in the Golden Globe Award.

The season 2 finale of House was aired yesterday on AXN. House was shot twice by his patient and he was hallucinating. I was kind of shocked and said to myself, are they discontinuing the series? I woke up this morning and was thrilled to get to the office so I could check the website. And pheww.. what a relief, there is a 3rd season.

Congratulations to the directors and producers of Grey's Anatomy and House. And to you too, Hugh Laurie.

Reality shows really glues me in front of the TV if it attracts me somehow - either being so silly, hillariously funny or just because of the fame and vibes it sents through Malaysians. Have any of you got the chance to catch this series of What Women Want? It is similar to Mencari Cinta but instead of being judged by one woman which in the end you will have a relationship built (depends if it lasts or not), this is a series judged by women defining if that guy is the type that women seek.

I have been following this show since the second week and missed one episode. These guys are selected from various backgrounds and some are not from Malaysia (I guess since I can not find anything regarding this series and just assuming that some are not really Malaysians). They have different jobs, charming in some ways, attractive in other ways and some make me drool. Like Sham, a special event's planner has the charisma of the man of my dreams the first time I set my eyes on him (well, through the TV). Christian, an english lecturer, on the other hand had the looks and features that I like (which my friends laugh out loud and say that I am blind).

Well after tonight, we won't be seeing Tom, a PhD student and lecturer who is only 25 on the show. He is cute in a way and reminds me of someone I cannot recall. He looks like he is too nice and from the episodes I have watched, he is the type that is kind of laid back. The others would communicate with the camera in English and only Tom and Hafiz, a hairstylist, would speak in Bahasa Melayu.

What is it that women want from their men? What are the qualities we search for? One thing for sure is that the older - I'd rephrase that, the more matured the women gets, the more choosy they become. We tend to change to a perfectionist.

Back to the question - what woman want. What is it that we want?

1. Be a gentleman and at the same time show that you are still in power. Women sometimes need someone they can rely on and lean on at times they feel vulnarale. Being too in power sometimes give indicators of a show-off.

2. Listen and don't make fun of the stories we tell you. Well, you can laugh at our jokes but not at us. And never make fun of us. That is totally a no-no.

3. Do not be to clingy and protective. We women can be clingy, but men, please don't. It is just a turn off if the men clings on the women. Being too protective means we only have little space for ourselves. Let us loosen up a little.

4. Be your true self. Show the real you. Even though you might not get us easily, but being persistent in your approach will make us realize your existance and your seriousness in having a bond with us.

5. Honesty is a must. Be honest and never lie because once we catch you lying to us, it may be over.

6. He respects parents, family and friends. Willing to be patient in trying to 'change' our bad habits.

Well, that's just my opinion and what I have been observing people around me. Showering women with gifts and presents is an advantage (and sometimes a big bonus to women who loves pampering with materials).

Well, what do you want in a man?

3. Elizabeth Arden's Provocative Interlude scent

4. A Sony Viao VGN-C13G in Pink

That's all for now. The list will be added from time to time. And I guess it is still not to late to wish all of you happy new year and may this year be filled with joy, happiness and success.
