Last day of January 2011
(31 January 2011/12:45 PM)

Regarding the weather of these few days:
天灾的前夕
或在某件大事将发生之前
往往都会有所启示
连雨而下难道是掩盖城市的预兆?
还是提醒我们要存水因为天旱要降临?

救命啊...我只不过要出去打篮球~
& yea, I posted this on Facebook as my status.
True, all I wanted was just to enjoy a basketball game or 2..
Finally had my OFF day on a Honey Monday & it ended up getting diluted.
Ah well well, so I could spend time with my blog~
(Being very optimistic here)

& don't think that I've stopped watching NBA just because I gave up on blogging about it!
I spent an hour a day to look through all the box scores & highlights!
Well, not all.. I just picked those matches with my teams* involved.
My teams*: Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Orlando Magic, Oklahoma City Thunder & Miami Heat.
Yeah....I don't like San Antonio Spurs & Dallas Mavericks and I have no idea why.

Back to entertainment-wise (dramas & films),
For dramas, I'm currently watching 7 Days In Life / 隔離七日情~
For movies, I've watched 鬼也笑, 大笑江湖, Shaolin & Green Hornet!
I'm moving on to 赵氏孤儿 & 非诚勿扰 soon.
As for 超级星光大道7, it's reaching The Finals soon!
Woo yeah.......

Back to my life~
For the not-so-updated,
I'm currently working as a Kitchen Helper (p/t) in Ajisan Ramen @ Plaza Singapura.
& honest speaking, I love this job a lot... except for the traveling part which is killing me -.-
I learnt a lot of things there...& I'm really proud of my adaptation.
Thanks a lot to Boys' Brigade for teaching me Life Skills.. laughs.
Ah ya, Pa & Ma gave my house a whole-grand-makeup.
Like wow... my corridor is awesome.
I would like to post pictures of it to share but unfortunately can't.
Well, with what? Wooden pen can't complete that task.
Oh ya, for those who are really outdated about me,
I'm posted to Ngee Ann Polytechnic, taking up IT Diploma.
Ask me why, & I would answer:
'IT Dip is definitely better in NYP but it doesn't offer me what I truly wants. Ngee Ann's School of Infocomm Technology offers me Information Technology(N54) - Information Security & Forensics.'
Simple enough? ^^
& I'm still in a dilemma on whether to apply for HOME Award or not.
Hopefully nothing goes wrong about it.

Yeah, that's all about it.
Cheers!

I'm now an Aries?!
(16 January 2011/11:37 AM)

What's the most IN and HOTTEST thing around the World now?
It's none other than the new horoscope signs!
Google flooded with these searches:
new astrology
new astrological signs
the new horoscope
new zodiac dates
& more related searches.
Some astronomers believe there is a 13th Zodiac sign called Ophiuchus, which falls between Scorpio and Sagittarius.
So you must be as curious as I am to find out about your new horoscope sign!


Here's the new zodiac sign:
Capricorn: Jan. 20 - Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16 - March 11
Pisces: March 11- April 18
Aries: April 18 - May 13
Taurus: May 13 - June 21
Gemini: June 21 - July 20
Cancer: July 20 - Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10 - Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16 - Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30 - Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23 - Nov. 29
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29 - Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17 - Jan. 20


True or not?!
There are still many questions and mixed reports about the zodiac change.
Other astrologers said the zodiac signs remain unchanged.
They point out two different versions of the zodiac: Tropical and Sidereal.

The tropical zodiac is mostly followed by those in the western hemisphere, and experts said those signs don't change.
However, easterners typically follow the sidereal zodiac, and experts said it's been known for years that those signs change from time to time.


Some add ons to inform you peeps!
A Gallup Poll said 25% of Americans believe the stars can affect their lives.
Here are extracts of 3 students' opinions:

"Now I don't know what I am anymore, so I'm a little lost right now," said freshman Joshua Cooper, who has always believed himself to be a Capricorn.

Some said they don't care. "I have no idea what I am and it doesn't bother me to be perfectly honest," said senior Alex Wiederspiel. "I don't think the sky can determine who I am, though I do enjoy reading my daily horoscope."

And others were said they're shocked about the new calendar. "I think it's absolutely preposterous. People have lived their lives by this, people have it tattooed on their skin," said junior Tanner Moore. "They read every day and decide how they're going to plan and carry out their conversations with their roommates and lovers and all the relationships in their lives."

Synopsis:
Fifteen years ago, Shek Tung Sing石東昇/Stone Sir (Felix Wong), a just and upright police officer, was imprisoned for murder which he did not commit. Now, fifteen years later, he is released from prison and vowed to find out the truth. Unfortunately, after finding out who the real culprit was, Stone is unable to bring him to justice due to the lack of evidence.
Stone was furious and angry at the failed system of justice and supresses his anger within him. Due to this, each time he comes across a case which the law fails to carry out justice, Stone takes matters into his own hands.
Stone's sudden change in character and behaviour worries his best friend, Mai On Ding/米安定/Mad Sir (Michael Miu). It also puts their friendship to test. Stone tries to prevent Mad from further investigating into a case and in the process hurts Mad's girlfriend, Hui Man Him/許文謙.
As a result, Mad and Stone's relationship took a turn for the worse, and Mad was determined to bring Stone to face the law.


Review:
Police officer's road to self-destruction. :(
A sadistic show.. :P
Okay.. no la, actually not bad!
It's been some time since I watch Felix Wong's dramas!
The only impression of him in a drama is 天龙八部/Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils(1997) where he casted as Qiao Feng.
Yaya.....

Review:
This can be said to be the best drama produced in the year of 2010, as according to its ratings.
No Regrets fared an average ratings of 44 and peak point of 47 beating 2nd placing, Can't Buy Me Love & 3rd placing, Gun Metal Grey.

No Regrets is one of two grand TVB productions used to celebrate the channel's 43rd anniversary, the other being Gun Metal Grey, which will be reviewed on after this.

How to tell if a drama is successful or not?
Just by looking at the awards won by it.
In the 'MY AOD My Favourite TVB Drama awards ceremony 2010'
4 Awards as following were won;
Top 10 Favourite Character - Lau Sing (Wayne Lai)
Top 10 Favourite Character - Cheng Kau-mui (Sheren Tang)
My Favourite Supporting Actor - Pierre Ngo
My Favourite Supporting Actress - Fala Chen

& in the annual grand award-giving ceremony, 2010 TVB Anniversary Awards,
several nominations as well as winnings as following:

After winning the Best Actor and Best Actress award for Rosy Business巾帼枭雄, Wayne Lai黎耀祥 and Sheren Tang邓萃雯 successfully defended their titles based on their brilliant performance in this drama respectively. Lai became the second actor to win the Best Actor award consecutively after Gallen Lo罗嘉良 in 1997 and 1998, while Tang became the first actress in TVB to win the Best Actress award consecutively. Both of them became the first ever couple in TVB's history to win the awards consecutively based on the same drama franchise.
After sweeping the main acting awards in the 2010 TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony, No Regrets was expected to take home the Best Drama award. However, the award went to Can't Buy Me Love公主嫁到 unexpectedly, shocking everybody who was present. Complaints were lodged immediately after the ceremony ended, with many people saying that No Regrets should have won because of its high ratings as well as critical acclaim it had garnered during its broadcast. 

Ah well anyway, it has already won my '2010 Best Drama award'

巾帼枭雄 / Rosy Business (2009 Drama)
(/4:01 PM)


Chinese title: 巾帼枭雄
English title: Rosy Business
Producer: Li Tim Shing
Genre: Costume
Number of episodes: 25
Starring:
Sheren Tang
Wayne Lai
Susan Tse
Elliot Ngok
Ron Ng
Kiki Sheung
Kara Hui
Pierre Ngo
Nancy Wu
Henry Lee


Synopsis(wikipedia):
In the mid 1820s, a natural disaster strikes the city of Nantong, tarnishing most of the city's rice fields. Running out of food supply for the citizens, city mayor Hong Chi-wing康梓榮 (Wong Wai Leung) uses the city's military food supply to feed the people. A few days after the disaster, an official from Beijing arrives to the city to check the military supply. Upon seeing an empty trailer, he sentences the Hong family to death. His daughter Hong Po-yin康寶琦 (Sheren Tang) escapes from punishment and becomes a maid in the Prince's mansion, living under the name Hong Po-kei.
Twenty years later, Po-kei reunites with the rich rice merchant Chiang Kiu蔣喬 (Elliot Ngok) at his manor in Wuxi, whom she was betrothed to before the disaster, while the Prince is there for a visit. Chiang Kiu's wife, Yan Fung-yee殷鳳儀 (Susan Tse) recognizes Po-kei and reveals her identity to the Prince. Chiang Kiu manages to convince the Prince to free her, and marries Po-kei as his fourth wife. He appreciates Po-kei's wisdom and persistence, and decides to entrust his business to her, telling her to find a suitable successor for him before he dies.
Hungry for power and eager to keep tradition, Fung-yee finds every opportunity for her son, the eldest child Bit-man蔣必文 (Pierre Ngo) to be the only heir of the family business. She tries to strip Po-kei from power even when Chiang Kiu's final will reads that Po-kei should be the full owner of the business.
Despite attacks from the family, Po-kei manages to keep the business in good shape. She is impressed with second son Bit-ching's蔣必正 (Ron Ng) intelligence and guides him to become the successor, but her efforts are met with Chai Kau's柴九 (Wayne Lai) challenges. Chai Kau seeks vengeance for being mistreated and wants a pay back from Bit-man and the Chiang's family uncle, Pang Hang彭鏗 (Henry Lee). After rounds of battle wits and fights, Po-kei and Chai Kau develop a deep friendship.
Chai Kau appreciates Po-kei's work ethics and pledges his loyalty to her. With their excellent cooperation and quick thinking, the business manages to survive through the locusts disasters and the Taiping Rebellion. Meanwhile third wife, Lau Fong劉芳 (Kara Hui) and Po-kei become good friends and sisters, to the point that Lau Fong even sacrifices her life to protect Po-kei.


Review:
Wayne Lai's cast as Chai Kau(柴九) can be said to be his career-saving role.
Chai Kau's popularity prompted Wayne Lai's rise to fame and he won several awards for this role.
Before his role as Chai Kau, the only impression I have of Wayne Lai was his cast as the Pigsy in 'The Journey to the West'.
Like wow.....he's now the 2009 & 2010 Best Actor award-winner.
& there's this line made famous by Chai kau in the show;
How many 10 years does one have in a lifetime?
人生有几多个十年.
(Y)
This drama earned the 2009 Best Drama award. (:
