What will you do?

Went to K box today, then went on to mr tam's house to watch tv.

We were watching my fav show now on channel 8, 幸福双人床。I love the show cos it has got tay ping hui, pierre png and liu zhixuan. But anyway, today the episode sort of triggered off a thought in me. It was when the mother, played by Huang Biren, sent her son back to the stepmother, in the hope that the stepmother would abuse the son, and then she could have evidence to fight for the custody of the children.

At the moment when she sent the son back, my heart went out to the son. To go back to an environment of utmost danger and uncertainty, the fear is almost unbearable. Moreover, the boy is just a primary school kid, and he has to irritate his stepmum in order to finish his mission. Its like the chinese saying, 明知山有虎，偏向虎山行。But to a primary school kid, it was no longer about just setting a trap for the stepmum, but the trauma that he has to go through, irritating his stepmum and anticipating the punishment to come through.For me, there was absolutely no reason why he should sacrifice himself.

But mr tam had another point of view. He felt that in order to get the children away from the evil stepmother forever and for good, the best way was to send the child back. Although there is going to be pain, it will only be temporary, and it is to prevent further torture.

I wont say who is right and who is wrong. But it clearly shows how girls and guys brains work differently. I guess girls are always the emotional ones while guys are always the rational ones.

And thats why we complement each other so well. =)
