WOW. Remember my post on my tendency for obsessive compulsive behaviours? This time, it is seriously distracting. My mummy friends had been recommending highly addictive Korean dramas that seemed to have struck a deep chord with legions of people. In the beginning, I viewed this obsession amongst friends with a mixture of amusement, curiosity and bewilderment. Not just my mummy friends. But also my close friends, my yoga instructor, my collegues, my aunts, my cousins...Even my mum was not spared the obsession when I witnessed the usually nonchalant her chasing a Korean drama series at 11.30pm every night, sacrificing her sleep and her reading.
So, after much temptation from my mummy friends, I decided to take a plunge just to test if I could be immuned to such compulsion.
OH. BOY. I had so little sleep, trying to finish huge chunks of the drama series that I was literally walking around zombified in the day, yet with mystical powers to help me stay awake at night to watch every episode with bated breath, my fingers irresistibly clicking "next episode" uncontrollably, despite an average of 3 hours of sleep per night.
This. Is. Vile. Yet hauntingly alluring. I just could not stop. And ended up rewatching the same series. Now I finally understand why my mother, aunts and friends kept harping on the exquisite romances, rich plot, fast-paced storylines, captivating soundtracks etc.
For now, I am indulging in the sea of love. And I wonder when I will be out of this raptness. At the same time, I am trying very hard to ensure that my life regain normality as soon as possible, especially with work that is piling up (productivity in the office is way low when I am obsessed with things other than work!), Big Bee's exams, hundreds of back-dated blog entries to write about...
This. Has. To. Stop.
