Ampang Medikal...What a Spoof

Oh Dear Lord, typing this itself is making me laugh to tears.Hahahaha. Ok, we all know how stupid and really boring Malaysian dramas are were those days right? However, nowadays, I know some may not agree with me, but I think its improving. So anyways, theres this new show called Ampang Medikal. I am not sure when it started showing it on our TV, but I am assuming its about two weeks back, forgive me if I am wrong. So I guess, with the hype of E.R and Greys Anatomy and House, one of the "many" Malaysian drama directors decided to make a drama Malaysian style, by Malaysian for Malaysian. Well, I applaud the move and thought. But I have many disgrunttles about it and I would love to share it while laughing my ass out loud. Haha.

So anyways, me and my sister was watchin some show on Astro last Tuesday,if I am not mistaken, and channel 107 was playing Ampang Medikal. So i got all excited an thought, "Lets give it a shot!" Lets watch it. After a few disputes with my sister on wasting our time watching mindless malay dramas, we might as well watch something international and better, but I won the case, no matter. So we clicked to 107. It started something like this.

*note that I do not know their names and sadly I have to go by race to identify them, fogive me*

Malay Doctor: -smtg-, your fathers dying. < a tiny minuscule frown, barely noticeable >

Son of that dying father: -smtg-, I dont care. He is no longer my father blah blah blah.

Chelsia Ng(in malay): Tapi bapa awak memerlukan awak. Kami berfikir yang awak bolehlah melihatnya.

Son of that dying father: No, i wont < reactionless >

Malay Doc: < Looks at that Son for 5 seconds , looks at Chelsia Ng for 3 seconds and looks down, reactionless >

Chelsian Ng: < repeats the above, trying to fake a terrible sad face >

...............scene ends...................


Ahaha....it was so funny watching that scene. The whole thing took less then 2 minutes if I am not mistaken. Please note the dialog of the above is not the actual one. There are others too. What I wrote is just the gist of it. Anyhow, it was so funny. Me and my sister just laughed and laughed. We wondering what just happened. It wasnt a sad moment, neither was it a I-hate-my-father-son-moment. I have no idea what moment in a normal persons life that I could relate too. No one was with any expression. It was like telling them Look sad! OK now look down! Ok now look at each other! The word Fake here is an understatement. Tthey were so funny. Let me assure you it wasnt a sad moment, it was actually a happy moment. Hahaha.



........another scene directly after the whole scene above..............

Malay Doc: < -smtg beeps, I think . She starts running and the camera goes slow motion. Then she sways her hands as if shes going to dive in a pool, pushes through two nurses and rather then flinging a door open shes trying to unlock the door. >

In the room.....

Patient: Ahh...< dying and having some attck >
Wife of patient: Ape sudah jadi ngan suami saya x2 < Now imagine this well. She doesnt scream but says it out loudly. The style of it was when you say 'Hey, Ho!'...Now can you imagine? >
Nurse: Medical terms...umm....medical terms...ahh...medical terms somemore...ummm....< thats how she read it, while looking at the chart of the patients health. >

.......................I switched channel......................................


Again dont take all the dialog into consideration as I cant remember it fully.

It was so funny.Haha.Oh My GOD, you cant imagine the laughter me and my sister erupted into. Haha. Even typing this story itself makes me tear. First, I have no idea why would the camera man decide on a slow motion scene and I also have no idea why she swayed her hand so high, to avoid the nurse, she should have just shouted out loud "MOVE!" to show the urgency. She was runing so slow, that she was just short of wearing a Baywatch bikini suit to create a Baywatch scene in it. Thirdly, why did she not fling the door open rather then unlocking it? Probably, Malaysian hospital doors are like that?I am not sure, but that was pretty funny. Imagine it was an emergency and you're actually trying to unlock the door first. Patients could be dead by then. Then when she entered.Ahahahahahahahahahahaha. I have no idea who was that wife-lady. She was so so so fake. She was like , head high to the left and say it out loud "Ape dah jadi ngan suami saya". Now turn head to the right, high, and say it out loud "Ape dah jadi ngan suami saya". Please note it was not wife-concerned-of-husbands health question. It was "oh lets get this over it" kinda question. And it didnt look like they knew what to do. The nurse then says some medical terms while reading the charts and doesnt seem to know how to say it and shes babling with lots of 'umm' and 'ahhs'. I tell you it was disastorous.

I wouldnt go to that hospital even if my life depended on it. I am serious. We all know for a Malaysian to come up with something as good as E.R and those dramas as avove is abit to much to ask. But we at least would love to hope to watch a show with some logic sense and good acting. I have no idea how they were cast. Frankly speaking, that Malay doc wouldnt have made the cut for me. I dont know about the other docs, so cant say much. The Malay Doc was horrible. You know, Malays love to watch Indon dramas and movies, how come you cant emulate them at least half as well? Nurse knows zero, doctor knows nuts. Thats a great team for a hospital. I decided from that day onwards, I wont watch it, yeah you just lost many viewers, not just me. We are not asking for sex and kissing scenes, we are asking for scenes that will touch the heart, that will connect the viewers, words and sentence thats strikes a chord in their hearts. Whens it is a sad scene, cry, shed a tear or two. When you need to be angry, give it all out. I think these people should either quit or go for some serious acting classes. Like ALOT of it.

I know fresh faces would do the industry good, but it must be with quality not quantity. If I were to be the casting crew or director, I would get poeple like Sheryl Samad, Ida Nerina, Umi Aida and Ardean Sherzdawaty(or something like that her name) to act. Now this actresses are good. If you want new faces, you hvae Sazzy Falak, that heroin in Gol & Gincu, Maria Londoh girl, Sharifah Armani, that best friend of hers in Sindarella too. Now thess are new actress with talent that you can play with. They can act well. There are some good actors. Choosing the above people are ridiculous. And possibly disastorous.

However, I would like to congratulate the director and his people in using high-deff camera and good lightings. You stil need to improve on your sound system and do add more songs to go with the feelings. Hire someone professional and get those graphic people to do touch ups. There are so many things one can do, but none takes the effort. Dont use 'short of money' as an issue. I would fire those horrible actors and actress and hire more crews and better machines to make the shots better with lesser actors and actress who are not horrible in acting and are not wasting the real money.

These are my honest opinions. You need to brush up alot.Luck
