Just been reading up on Unknown White Male (link: http://www.unknownwhitemale.co.uk - something’s wrong with Wordpress, can’t embed links), a documentary on the story of Doug Bruce, a Brit who found himself on the subway in New York without a clue as to who he is or where he was going. The show documents his journey to rekindle the life he had and how he is experiencing the world all over again, from eating different types of food to the many human experiences such as finding love and friendship.

The interesting thing is, experts do not know if he’s faking it or is he the Real McCoy? And if he can be cured, would he WANT to be cured?

If you could forget your past, would you want to? It would be interesting, wouldn’t it, to sort of have a second chance to, say, fall in love again with your husband or wife? Your kids?

Chocolate?

Okay, so I have to go to New York and get on the tube…

 

Addendum: Let’s start a meme.

If there were four things/people you could forget in your life, what would they be?

• Leroy Chan, one of my ‘boyfriends’ from secondary school. He destroyed my respect of good-looking guys forever. I still don’t have a good opinion of them. I mean, look what happend to Jennifer Aniston! Long live the specky geeks!
• Richard Wong, my ex. Someone should lock him up. I’d also like to forget my five long years with him. I don’t know WHAT I was thinking.
• The torturous years before I got married when my mother would nag me to stay in shape! (yea, after you’re hitched and out of the house, how you look is your business).
• The rough times our family went through when my dad’s business partner bailed on the business.

Four things I want to re-experience

• Falling in love with my husband
• First time I saw and touched snow
• First time I learnt to skate
• First time I gave birth (minus the pain!)
