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.
