|||...maid in mahattan...|||

din watch 50 first dates in e end but maid in mahattan by jennifer lopez.
its quite sweet, nice n romantic.
jennifer is a hsekeeper in a posh hotel n divorced with a 10 yr old kid. ralph is a candidate runnin for senate. by chance, they met n ralph thot shes a guest there as well. he falls head over heels for her. ding dong here a bit as usual. endin is predictable.
dis show evoke sme thots in me abt e vast difference between e western n eastern society.
like e guy in e show din care if she was married with a kid even though he is runnin for senate. i tink eastern countries like in singapore, ppl r so conservative tat if u r in e sme situation (divorced with a kid), u'll b given odd looks n wun b given a glance by another single eligible guy. mayb can settle for other divorced guys with children as well. esp if e guy is a public figure, even if e guy really met a ger he likes but married n all, he wld nt give her a chance. whereas, we c on papers like those celebrity, having quotes like 'mr so-n-so, third marriage is on e rocks. he currently has 4 children, 2 kids fr first marriage, 1 kid fr second n third marriage each.' dis type of family structure is totally unseen in e local society.
a bit sad abt such phenomenon in e eastern. i hope such perceptions n thots can b changed. i'm nt encouragin divorces. but i tink chances shld b given to ppl whom make mistakes with their relationships previously.
