phonebook

I was backing up my handphone data from my SIM card when I came across a few names.

Jeffrey, Dorothy, Regina.
I cracked my brains and I still cannot recall who are they or where I met them.

Perhaps I should have saved their contacts in greater detail eg. Shaun SPH, Johnson Hall4.
I usually do that only when I have multiple "Shaun"s or "Johnson"s in my phonebook.

So I thought my memory was failing me.
Or perhaps they were just acquaintances I met during my internship at SPH or SSC.
Ya know...those kind of "business partners"...exchanging contacts just for the sake of it...

Last resort: FACEBOOK friends.
Still, no Jeffrey/Dorothy/Regina.

I doubt I'll ever gonna recall them so I deleted their contacts.
Another form of "spring cleaning".

To play safe, I renamed all my contacts in detail eg. Joyce HP101, even though there's only ONE Joyce in my phonebook.
Who knows, I might have erased Joyce from my memory in three years time...
Nah just kidding Joyce.

gimme drama (korea)

新加坡有“红星大奖”,台湾有“金钟奖”,香港有“TVB台庆大奖”,美国有“Emmys”。
直到去年年底,我才发现韩国也有电视圈的奖项,叫“大赏”(daesang)。

好奇地research了一下,原来是三大电视台(KBS,SBS,MBC)各颁各的奖,感觉比较像family affair,自己颁自己爽。

男女主角奖项不只一个哦!还分成:迷你剧,中篇剧,长篇剧,日日剧。
演得最好的可以拿到“最优秀男子/女子演技赏”。
演得最最最好的可以拿到“年度演技大赏”。

这样说来,拿到“日日剧优秀男子/女子演技赏”也没什么好开心/光荣的吧...
日日剧一播就是一百多集,一年能播几部啊?竞争对手少之又少吧...
如果你是一部日日剧的男/女主角,这个奖应该非你莫属了。

“年度演技大赏”其实好像也没什么。
如果某个电视台决定颁两个,还要和别人平分,哪来的荣耀啊?
说好了是BEST OF THE YEAR,颁给一个人就好了嘛,搞得好像在分猪肉。

Or maybe they are just trying to encourage their employees, to make sure no one goes home empty-handed.

Did I also mention they have all sorts of 人气奖?
十大人气明星奖(红星大奖anyone?),网友人气奖(男/女),人气新人奖(男/女),最佳情侣奖(竟然可以有四对得奖!)... ...

如果你在韩国娱乐圈混,一个奖都没拿过,you have a problem。
