BEAR WITH ME...

Aeon Flux

2005-12-09T17:41:00.000+08:00

I find the movie just ok. It reminds me of The Island.

I find the woman with the hands and legs really disgusting! Like monkey... :S

Now can't wait to watch King Kong next week.

Got new best times for Sudoku easy and medium level; 2minutes and 9 seconds, and 2 minutes and 51 seconds, respectively.

Always Ready

2005-12-05T15:58:00.000+08:00

I thought it would be highly exciting show but it turn out that the rescue missions so far (up to episode 3) are not really thrilling. But overall, the show is quite funny. I like to watch Jackie (that little boy from Gateau Affairs & Gentle Crackdown) and Shirley Yeung (forgotten her name in the show though). She's quite funny in there.

Kungfu Mahjong 2 & Zathura

2005-11-28T16:52:00.000+08:00

KM2 is very very very very very very funny!!!!! MUST WATCH!!!! Laughed from the start till the end!!!

Zathura is just OK for me. A show meant for kids.

Phew....

2005-11-25T16:22:00.000+08:00

After trying 3 hours and 18 minutes... finally a new record... I can't believe that it's even faster than my record for Medium level.

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

2005-11-19T01:26:00.000+08:00

Finally managed to watch it just now. I expected this movie to be very good, from my roommate's opinions, as well as the fact that HP4 was adapted from the best HP book so far. However after watching it, I felt slightly disappointed because the book is way better than the movie! :P

I find that this book is not as closely adapted as I hoped it was. Maybe this book is just too long to be adapted into a single movie. Perhaps, the book is just way too good...

But, to be fair, assuming that I have not read the book beforehand, this is indeed an enjoyable movie. Don't give it a miss! :)

Life Made Simple

2005-11-12T13:23:00.000+08:00

Watching Life Made Simple makes me feel that living a simple and happy life is the most important thing in life. I need to be very grateful with what I have now. ;)

I'm now at episode 9. The story gets more interesting now. I am guessing that Joanna's baby is Michael's. I still dislike Angel because she's arrogant and manipulative. Luckily Michael didn't fall into her trap.

The Life Made Simple theme (background song now) is my current favourite song. Sounds very nice and cute. It is sung by the two leads, Jessica Hsuan and Roger Kwok. In case you are wondering why Roger's voice sounds so weird in the song, it is because that's how his "Ah Wong" character sings.

The Women On the Run (Episode 11-12) is supposed to be released today. Hopefully I get to watch it tonight. I really love this show.

New best times

2005-11-11T22:29:00.000+08:00

After 4 and a half hours of playing websudoku again, I managed break my personal records (Easy: 2 min 24 sec, Medium: 3 min 45 sec)... and really, this is the very last time I will ever play websudoku again, until my graduation. Have to really work hard starting from tomorrow. Hopefully this is the final time I am saying that I will work hard and stop procrastinating!!!!

There's only about one and a half months left for year 2005 and I have not even realized any of my new year resolutions. :( Sigh... Hopefully, I am able to do better next year. Wish me luck...

Real Kungfu

2005-11-09T18:29:00.000+08:00

Rented the first two DVDs of this series yesterday night since it was highly recommended by the video rental shop. I find that it is quite funny, but would have been better if Maggie Siu character is played by Ester Kwan or Myolie Wu. They look cuter and funnier than Maggie Siu. The first three episodes are OK since the shopkeeper said that it will get funnier in the second disc. Hopefully what he said it true. Not just a mere recommendation to make me rent this series. Anyway, I wasn't paying much attention as I was engrossed with my Sudoku puzzle book. Hahaha...

By the way, I have "retired" from playing Sudoku online at websudoku.com since last week because I feel that it really distracts me from work. My best records for the various levels are:
Easy -- 2 minutes and 59 seconds (Top 2%)
Medium -- 4 minutes and 3 seconds (Top 1%)
Hard -- 6 minutes and 15 seconds (Top 2%)
Evil -- only managed to finished the puzzle once without any errors. Forgotten the amount of time but I think probably took at least 20 minutes. Hahaha...

SAME LIKE ME!

2005-11-09T13:11:00.000+08:00

Hehe.. yesterday, I read an article about Bobo. She said that she don't allow people to disturb her bed. She will also not go onto the bed immediately as soon as she reached home, but will bathe first before going onto her bed. Hehehe...

Cute Song

2005-11-07T20:20:00.000+08:00

Anyone like my new background song? It is the theme song for the WOMEN ON THE RUN series. I like it a lot because of the comments the four female leads gave about men. Hehehe... I accede with them totally.

I've started watching LIFE MADE SIMPLE last weekend. It is quite nice. I like Bosco a lot in the show. He plays a very impressive character, rich and intelligent. Besides him, I also like Hui Siu Hong. He's always funny in most of the TVB series he acted in. I don't really like Jessica Hsuan (Lou Por Jai) because she seemed a little selfish and used Roger Kwok (Ah Wong) to achieve her own dreams and sometimes mistreat him. Also dislike Leila Tong who is a selfish, spoilt, rich girl.

By the way, did any of you TVB fans realised that these days, there are many more gay or lesbian couples in TVB series? Is it because the scriptwriters ran out of ideas? It's no longer surprising that a murder case involves a secret lover of the same sex. It used to be a surprising twist back then, but these days, it has lost its novelty.

Pet Trees

2005-11-04T17:48:00.000+08:00

Hehee... this is the first time I read about it and it is so cute that I have to blog it here. I read an article from the Straits Times and then searched for more information on the internet. Wah! I think it would be great to hang it on my phone or put it on my desk. It looks so cute!!!

For those thinking of buying it, there are many online shops that you can order from and if you are in Singapore, then you can get it at the pushcart with the sign Pet Tree at the Raffles Place MRT retail area. Hehehe... Maybe I will go there and get it tomorrow.

Sky High

2005-11-04T09:43:00.000+08:00

Sky High -- an appropriate name for the high school to train super heroes' children to be future super heroes.

I thought it was a kiddy show that I probably dislike and did not even plan to watch it. However, a newspaper review changed my opinion and I gave it a try last night. It turned out to be a very enjoyable movie! :)

Ratings: Highly recommended

Oh no, not again?

2005-11-02T01:15:00.000+08:00

Hehehe... It's really hard to predict how long my interest on something could last. The only "predictable" thing is that my interest on things and idols never lasts for long... :P

Currently, I don't like Sammi and Bobo as much as I previously did. And all because of Catherine Zeta Jones. Hahahaa... I am now dreaming about being as competent as Elena is! Hahahaha... maybe I should really go get the kickboxing equipment now. Hahaha... Or should I learn fencing??? Let's see by the time I have more free time, and if I still do like Elena, then...

But then again, I waited 5 months before splurging on the electirc guitar and now, all it does is collecting dust at the corner and the strings are probably rusting by now... :P

Legend Of Zorro 2005

2005-10-31T09:35:00.000+08:00

Overall, it is just OK. Not as exciting as I thought it would be. But two good points are that Joaquin is really cute and Elena is very pretty too! Hahaha... Yeah, I think Catherine Zeta Jones is now my favourite angmoh actress. :P

(Corrected spelling of Joaquin and Elena)

Religions

2005-10-25T17:11:00.000+08:00

I was born into a Buddhist family, though not purely Buddhist, since we prayed to ancestors and offers food to ancestors during special occasions. In fact, the best part of praying/offering food to ancestors is feasting on the sumptuous food after that. I still remembered how my cousins and I had a great picnic at my grandmother’s graveyard. Since, my grandparents were buried separately, we usually prayed to my grandfather first before going higher uphill to my grandmother’s grave. So, by the time we reached there, the food that has been offered earlier could be eaten! Hehehe…

Then, as I grew older, I began to feel that the gods that I had been praying to were not true god since the question about how could there be so many different gods came kept appearing in my mind. And, in a way, whenever I heard those Buddhist songs (chanting), I just feel really eerie and uncomfortable. I sort of associate this to sounds of death, which is probably the first place where I first encountered this type of chanting in my life.

That’s when I start to learn a little about Christianity. Well, I thought Jesus is the only God. But as I learnt more about Christianity, I learnt about how different ‘sects’ of Christianity believes in God differently. Not all Christians believe that JESUS is the ONLY way to Heaven. In fact, different churches that I had attended before have different teachings and all claimed to be the true way according to what they interpreted from the Holy Bible. However, it is really up to anyone to interpret the Bible in any ways they wanted it to be.

I’ve attended five different churches in Singapore and each has their own way of teaching. The first one believed in speaking in ‘tongues’ where people are given the power to speak to God in a different language which really scares me because while praying the believers just dropped one by one onto the floor and lie there for sometime. Sort of like being possessed. Then the second one I went to was more normal but it was too far for me to continue going. A Christian friend then suggested that I join their church. It was quite good at first but I later found that believers will sort of have to be blessed by the pastor by letting him put his hand on your head and said prayers. This action made me feel that it is similar as in saying he has the powers just like himself is God.

In the fourth church, I didn’t actually go to the church but I went to the ‘healing’ congregation at World Trade Center. It was there that I feel that what they did was similar to a cult. People with terminal diseases like tumors, disabled people had to go forward so that the congregation led by a very famous pastor could ‘heal’ them by giving them powers that flows out from their palms while praying.

I don’t like nor believe in these so, I went to another church. This time, it was quite a calming church. But on my first service, the pastor taught us that we should not have bands (like other churches has) to praise God but should praise God with our own voices. So, there is only a piano to guide us through the hymns. I went back to tell my Bible Study group leader that I quite like that church but she told me that what that church taught was wrong because God did not say through the Bible that bands were not allowed. So, she advised me not to continue attending that church. Then, for two years after that, I just gave up going to church when I suddenly thought I might give it a try again. I went to another friend’s church and the service was so boring that I almost fell asleep there. That was the last time I attended any church service now. Slowly, my belief has waned.

Now, I no longer know what I should or should not believe, since the Bible is really up to interpretations and first of all, the Bible is compiled over the centuries, authored by different prophets. It could be that the Roman Catholic Church has kept or changed some the contents of it (just like what Da Vinci Code said).

And, one thing about scientific evidence is, the Bible did not mention anything about dinosaurs. Also, if the Bible is accurate, then the world is only 6000 years old whereas scientific method (radiometric carbon dating) is about 4.5 billion years old. I presented this question to my Bible Study group and she said that the scientific method is probably inaccurate. She always tells me that I should have ‘faith’ with God and his word (the Bible). Faith is ‘Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.’

So what should I believe in?

Women On The Run

2005-10-25T11:02:00.000+08:00

Rented the first two episodes yesterday and had fun watching them. The series revolves around a clever private investigator (Chan Pak Cheung a.k.a Ah Lek) and his clumsy assistant (Yuen Siu Cheung), and four unattached women (Ng Wing Mei, Joyce Tang Lai Ming, Yuen King Dan, Belinda Hammett). It's really funny watching these "fat hao" (is there an English word to describe this?) women going after guys and hoping to catch one before they are too old. Hehehe...

And then, they are perpetually quarrelling with Carry Bug (Ah Lek's character in this series). It's really funny. This series is in similar genre with To Catch The Uncatchable. The only difference is that the cases are solved within one episode.

Facial House Game

2005-10-24T09:33:00.000+08:00

New game from www.maggiemarket.com

It's as cute as her previous games. :)

Transporter 2

2005-10-22T11:13:00.000+08:00

As expected, it is an action movie that does not require much brain to understand. Overall, it is just OK.

Two Endings? (Warning: Spoilers inside)

2005-10-21T09:53:00.000+08:00

Is it just like Infernal Affairs having different versions for HK and China again?

I read news about the movie premiere of Election just now and was really surprised when I read this:
邵美琪在電影中被任達華勒死後，更推她與梁家輝落坑埋藏，她覺得出來的效果好真實，非常滿意。

In the version I saw on Wednesday night, Maggie Siu (Tai D's wife) was led away from the scene after police who were observing Ah Lok (Simon Yam) and Tai D (Tony Leung) saw Lok bashing Tai D's head with a big stone suddenly. The police then caught Lok (very easily). Lok did not bury Tai D and his wife. So, I guess, the surprising twist about Louis Koo is an undercover cop and talked to one of the gang's senior in the ending where the senior said that bad guys deserves bad ending may not even be in the HK version. Well, now, I think maybe the HK version has a more impactful ending than this anti-climax ending of the SG version.

Election

2005-10-20T14:20:00.000+08:00

Well, since it garnered 11 nominations in the upcoming Golden Horse awards ceremony and a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, I thought it would be a great show. Alas, it was not. I find it just OK. Not great. The ending with a 'twist' does not gives as much impact as desired. I think Infernal Affairs (I mean the first one of the trilogy) still remains the best gangster movie that I've watched.

Ambivalence

2005-10-19T09:30:00.000+08:00

I am ambivalent towards the latest announcement of the Golden Horse award nominations. Sammi and Everlasting Regret, were not nominated for Best Actress nor Best Movie.

As expected, most fans are disappointed with the nomination list. Surprisingly, I do not know what I really feel. On one hand, I am Sammi's fan and I should be unhappy that her effort is not recognized. But, on the other perspective, I don't think that her acting in ER is good. It definitely proved that not every artistic movie is automatically nominated for Best Movie. :P

Well, maybe before watching the movie itself, I will (blindly) support Sammi and feel that she deserves to be nominated. However, after watching it, I don't feel the same anymore. I feel that it ranks as one of the worst movies that she has been in. Even if she gets a nomination and wins the Best Actress award in the HK Film Awards, I'll still think ER is a bad movie.

Hehehe... I think I am cruel to say this... but I actually agreed with one of the movie reviews, which mentioned that "... audience leaves the cinema with everlasting regret...". I told my boyfriend about this review and we both had a good laugh since we both felt "everlasting regret" too.

The best thing of the movie is the Everlasting Regret theme which wasn't even aired in the movie... What kind of movie theme song is not aired during the movie???

Flight Plan

2005-10-17T19:33:00.000+08:00

It's good but when I compare it to Red Eye, another airplane thriller which was shown not too long ago, I prefer Red Eye. The plots are much more exciting in Red Eye where there are quite a few nerve-wracking moments. In Flight Plan, the plots are less thrilling. But, it's still good. :)

"Mi fan" outing

2005-10-17T19:09:00.000+08:00

Went out and had a great time with Sammi's fans on Saturday. Met Yung and Bobble at Lido for Lan Yu. It's very nice movie indeed. And Liu Ye definitely deserved the Best Actor award. Lan Yu is very much better than Everlasting Regret (both movies are directed by Stanley Kwan).

Then, Pris came to join us. Hehehe.. it's really funny. Yung and Bobble are so bad. They didn't even tell me that there is popcorn sticking on my shirt. :D hahaha... We went to look for Dior lipstick because Yung wanted to buy it for keepsake. (Yung, better don't use it if it has expired) hahahaah...

Pris and Bobble were so "shocked" to know that I don't even know where Tangs is. Hahaha.. Well, I am proud to claim that I am not those "kaki lepak" (loiterer, in Malay). I hardly go to Orchard Road. In my six years in Singapore, I think I've been to Orchard less than 15 times. Hahaha... No point traveling so far to town to buy something when I can get it from a nearby shopping mall. It's really a waste of time going there unnecessarily. :P I'd rather spend my precious time watching TV! hahahaha...

Since it was too early for dinner, we went to look at CDs in HMV. Didn't manage to find anything extra nice to buy. During dinner, we "yak" about this and that. Jokes, TVB series... etc. :)

Sudoku

2005-10-15T12:04:00.000+08:00

Bought this book on Thursday night and I am getting addicted to it. It's quite fun trying to solve the sudoku puzzles. Have you tried it? Once you solve one, you'll want to solve another. :)

In case you would like to try some puzzles, please click HERE.

A photo with Sammi...

2005-10-15T11:57:00.000+08:00

Hehehe... This isn't the first time I dreamt of Sammi. In the dream I had this morning, I got to take a photo with Sammi. It was quite weird because the first time I took the photo (with my camera), only I was in the photo whereas the place where Sammi was supposed to appear was empty. I was quite scared thinking Sammi might be a ghost! hahahaa... Then on the second click, both Sammi and myself did not appear at all in the photo. Luckily, on the third try, both of us were captured in the photo. But, the photo was really blur and looks greyish. So, we decided to take another one when, out of a sudden... my alarm clock rang! Argggghhhhh....

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo

2005-10-14T12:00:00.000+08:00

Hehee.. managed to watch it yesterday night after all. Initially, I planned to catch the show at 7.30pm but due to unforseen circumstances, I watched the 9.15pm show instead.

It's really funny. As good as the first one! Hahahaha.. :D

As usual, I just love this kind of comedies. Go to watch it if you like comedies!

1st Ep of Numb3rs

2005-10-11T18:20:00.000+08:00

I don't think it is a good series from its debut. It looks as though it is trying hard to keep the suspense like CSI but it lacks many aspects.

First of all, the way it wanted to show as though the brother of the FBI agent is such a genius in maths and using formulas, it could detect the possible location of the serial rapist. Well, it didn't really explained how the different elements are factored into the the formula and only the final product (a map) is shown.

Then, when the rapist was finally located, he was shot dead immediately. Audiences like me are left wondering why this rapist decided to kill those women and why he even went to the extent of leaving a circle with four small crosses on each of them.

Overall, this first episode just does not give enough satisfaction to us and left us with unanswered questions. I'll give it another shot next week. If it's still as bad as this episode, it's definitely better that I spend an hour doing something else than wathing it.

Into The Blue & 40 Year Old Virgin

2005-10-10T18:24:00.000+08:00

Into The Blue
- slow pace.
- the guy who thinks himself is handsome is ugly and short! I wonder why they let him take up this role

40 Year Old Virgin
- very funny
- kind of cheap jokes but I like it.

Numbers

2005-10-06T17:03:00.000+08:00

AXN will start airing Numb3rs next Monday and I eagerly waiting for the pilot episode. I've always been amazed with numbers. Just now, I looked up numerology and find that what it did from calculation of my name and birthdate seemed true. Then I chance upon this site:
My Pet Number - 142857

Read it and see how amazing this number is! :)

Irritating Guy

2005-10-05T16:50:00.000+08:00

Well, I really have to complained it here since my housemate is not here for me to complain to. Usually I go home and complain to her about what irritates me. :P

OK, I really can't stand this guy (A) in my office. He always have to complain about another colleague each time he sees me. I AM NOT INTERESTED!!! When he first complained to me about his colleague (Z), he took almost an hour. I thought that's fine since maybe Z really did something that angered him at that time and he needed to vent his frustration. So, I just laughed and listened.

But ever since that fateful day, he just kept complaining about his colleague at every opportunity that he saw me alone, be it in the lift or in the pantry. His complaints are really quite baseless since Z already don't have much collaboration with him in terms of work after the manager knew there's bad feeling between them. Why does he need to harp on it again? His complaints are very unnecessary! These few days, Z was not in the office (reservist camp) so, I would have thought that A would stop complaining since Z is not even present to increase the hatred.

However, it is not to be. A still want to say something bad about Z! He complained about Z's wife, Z's newborn son, and his report over and over. This is old news!

The irony of it is that A thinks so highly of himself. If A is really better than Z, there is no need for him to complain about Z to me. :| Really can't stand such person!!!

OK... now time for me to repent. I shouldn't get angry with A too. Forgive & forget... and hopefully the next time A sees me, he will not complain abt Z. If he is, I will surely tell him off!

Favourite songs

2005-10-03T15:41:00.000+08:00

These are my favourite songs at the moment that are not from my idols, Sammi and Bobo.

One is "A Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. It sounded powerful and mysterious. (Thanks to LJ for sending me this song)

The other is Ally (Jin Yao) which is sung by Wilfred Lau. His voice really sounds like Eason Chan's voice. Hehehe.. both are similar in the sense that both have good voices but not really good looking. Bobo made guest appearance in this song's MV. If only the song isn't obviously meant for Hocc, I think there would have been endless rumors between Bobo and Wilfred now because you can see how cute they are in the MV, bantering with each other.

Sammi + Everlasting Regret

2005-10-02T17:52:00.000+08:00

Attended the panel discussion at NLB last Friday night. You can say that I am not really as excited as I should be. Anyway, it was a very good experience to see Sammi in real other than her concerts.

She looked super pretty!!! Extremely pretty!!! Just like her SKII commercials! hahahaaha... Never seen anyone prettier than her in my life! :P

But, Sammi seemed a lot more quiet that night compared to her usual chirpy self in concerts. Maybe she's too tired with the continuous traveling from Venice to Toronto, then to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou then back to Hong Kong. And from Hong Kong to Singapore. She had to travel to so many places in three weeks, and her schedule packed with Everlasting Regret's promotional activities. In Singapore alone, she arrived at Changi Airport at about 1pm. Then she held a press conference at 3.30pm. At 6pm, she had a dinner with some lucky fans. At 7pm, she had to be at Junction 8 for some more promotional activities. Then at 8pm, the panel discussion at NLB. At 9pm, she had to be at Lido for ER's premiere. And can you imagine having to answer similar questions regarding ER, her health rumors and etc every time? If I were her, I would have been so frustrated. Hehehe.. But, Sammi still managed to smile and look cute just for her fans!

She's really cute whenever she smiles!!! :D

Yesterday night, I caught the midnight sneak preview of ER at Jurong Point. Since I don't like arthouse films, this is the first time I ever went to a cinema to watch one, just because Sammi starred in it. Well, it is definitely just like what I expected (dreaded) it to be. Even after watching it, I still couldn't totally understand it.

Some questions are:
1. What are the relations of Mr. Cheng and Kela?
2. Isn't that woman Kela's girlfriend? But, if she is, then why he fell in love with Qiyao?

I've not read the book so I don't know how closely this movie adapted from the book. I feel that although this movie is quite boring, the story line is quite fast but fragmented. It goes from young Qiyao winning the Miss Shanghai (although it never showed that she was announced the winner but only joining it) to become the mistress of Officer Li. When Officer Li ran away, she was together with Kang Mingxun. Then, she was together with Kela. Then she died suddenly. I find the story not flowing at all. Even when the people in ER talk, it seemed very much rehearsed as in like you have to wait for your cue to talk. (Maybe I'm too used to those Cantonese serials where people talked quickly and the flowingly.)

I don't find that this movie is romantic in anyway. Nor does it show the evolution of Shanghai from time before till after the Cultural revolution since the movie is mostly filmed indoors. Qiyao still stayed in a similar looking house before and after the Cultural revolution. Furthermore, I find that those kissing scenes are kind of unnecessary maybe except the one with Officer Li.

And worst of all, Sammi's ER themesong is no where to be found throughout the movie, not even when the credits roll up. I also have to agree with what other critics said earlier that Sammi's Mandarin is not good enough. Before I watch ER yesterday, I thought maybe I will go watch this movie again in the cinema with friends or even alone if I really like it, just like the "Good Times, Bed Times" and "Summer Holiday" movies (3 times each). But, I think for ER, once is really enough for me.

Very sleepy..

2005-09-30T14:14:00.000+08:00

ZZZZZZ.....zzzzz..... for half an hour but I still feel very sleepy.

Surprisingly, I don't feel the excitement at all that I am supposed to have since I'll be seeing Sammi tonight at the National Library. It's totally a different feeling when I saw Flora last year. When I knew that I could see her in the press conference, I almost couldn't sleep the night before and was very excited to see her!

I think I don't feel excited now probably because I had been quite bored these few days with Sammi already, reading the same/similar news about her promoting Everlasting Regret.

At the moment, what I really wish is to go home now to sleep or watch Bobo's series Aqua Heroes again. I stopped till the part where Busy Jeh's sister was angry with her after she stole away the limelight. For now, I like Bobo more than Sammi.

But, it's hard to predict, knowing my own WCS weakness. :P I remembered that last year after watching Sammi's concert on Aug 27 last year, I liked her a lot more than Flora at that time. Hahaha... So, let's see how tonight goes...

RED

2005-09-25T01:27:00.000+08:00

What do you think when you see this picture?

1. Don't let the bulls see her.
2. Like a woman who wants to commit suicide and come back for revenge.
3. Is her bra and underwear also red?

Hahahahaa.... :D

Myth

2005-09-24T17:38:00.000+08:00

Watched The Myth yesterday. Very nice... :) And quite nice storyline too... Lots of action! Lots of funny actions as usual for Jackie Chan movies. :D

Oh yes, Kim Hee Seon is very pretty too...

If you are going to the cinema to watch it, do wait till all credits roll up. Lots of funny NG scenes there. Hehehe...

One word for this movie.... EXCELLENT!

BBQ & Mooncake Festival

2005-09-24T16:37:00.000+08:00

Hehehe... Have to share here the masterpiece of MY, EL, LJ and KS. These are called "Charcoal wings".

Well, it's quite a fun nite. Talk and talk about this and that except work! hahaha... It had been quite long since I last met all of them.

Beautiful wall...

Yeah!! Finally got Bobo's Fantasia album and the posters yesterday night from Yung. Yung, thanks for helping me again! :) It was a nice night meeting Yung and Piggy. Piggy is a little shy though and didn't talk as much. Hehehe... I told my boyfriend that Yung is still unsure about the ending of Hocc's musical after watching it four times, and he laughed too! Hahaha...

I've put on Bobo's poster on the wall last night! It does look good!~~~ Thanks again Yung!

Bounce! and Bounce Again!

2005-09-19T12:17:00.000+08:00

This is my favourite Bobo CD so far. The songs are all nice.

The MV of "Let Me Go" (Fong Guo Ngo) is very nice!!! Hehehe... Can see how fair Bobo is! Very pretty and cute.

Currently, my favourite song in this album is "Don't Have To Get Married" (But Yong Git Fun). It is a very catchy and bouncy song!

Well, other songs are nice too, like the one she dedicated to her grandmother called "Grandmother" (Ma Ma).

"Best" (Yat Lau) is also very nice. Slow but rythmic.

"Wild Seed" (Yeh Chung Ji) is already my favourite song long ago. It is one of first songs of Bobo that I love immediately after listening to it once.

Overall, all other songs are nice too. I'm glad that I bought this album, both the first and second edition. Hahaha... The photos in the album are different and Bounce Again! has two extra music videos.

Only 1 out of 5 is GOOD

2005-09-19T11:49:00.000+08:00

Watched 5 Bobo movies last weekend and out of the five, I only managed to watch four and a half (because the last one, "I Do" is so boring that I just couldn't finish watching it although I tried twice).

The five movies I bought are:
1. The Park
2. It Had To Be You
3. Shadow
4. My Heart Will Go On
5. I Do

The Park's effects are so fake! Even with the 3D glasses on, the ghosts still doesn't look real. The storyline is quite bad too. Bobo's brother was lost at a park, and Bobo went to the park to look for him with a few friends.

It Had To Be You is a romantic comedy that is hardly funny. All the best jokes came from Eric Tsang. Anyway, Bobo had only a small role in this movie. All she did was to drag a big red luggage around. Hahahaa...

Shadow is really a nice ghost love story. It's quite funny too. I love this movie. My boyfriend also thinks this is the only nice movie out of the five. Bobo (Siu Yuet) looked really cute with Stephen Fung (Ah Lun). :) The story started with Siu Yuet's ghost tricking Ah Lun and his friends for revenge because she "committed suicide" because of Ah Lun. Ah Lun who liked Siu Yuet since secondary school obeyed everything she instructed them to do. And the tasks that they had to do are really funny!!! Hahaha... And then surprise! Siu Yuet was actually... Hehehe... can't tell here because it won't be nice anymore to reveal the twists of the story.

My Heard Will Go On is a lousy movie. It does not make sense at all. It has all the unnecessary plots that isn't really related to the main plot. Jimmy Lin's girlfriend, Wing Yan was kidnapped and another girl, Maggie was also kidnapped. Wing Yan and Maggie was rescued and then Wing Yan died of blood lost. Yan's heart was donated to Maggie and Maggie sort of like Jimmy after that. But at the end it was found that Jimmy's good friend and colleague was the one who killed Yan. I really don't know what it meant because that colleague is a very fat man but the man who always fights with Jimmy is slim and tall. Oh yes, about the unrelated sideplot. It is about Bobo liking Jimmy and he doesn't like her but she slept with the doctor who is Maggie's boyfriend. Really nonsense!!!

I don't really know what the story is about at all. The plots are just way too vague. Anyway, Bobo only had a minor role, so I wasn't really interested to watch all of the movie because it is really boring.

After watching all these five movies, and a few of the ones of my ex-favourite singer/actress, I understand totally why Sammi's movies are such a hit in Hong Kong and Asia. Previously, I seldom watch other HK movies except a few but now that I've watched quite a few, it is really no wonder that Sammi is big in the HK movie industry. Her movies, are genuinely nice to watch because of the good scripts. :)

Bobo's CDs, VCD & DVDs

2005-09-17T17:20:00.000+08:00

Yeah! They arrived yesterday, less than one week after I ordered them online. :)

Furry family members of our home

2005-09-13T16:36:00.000+08:00

Feed me first! Feed me first!
FP wants to say Hi to all the aunties and uncles reading this blog

FP is so cute!!! I love her a lot but she only loves BBB, Japanese food and treats. After keeping her for more than two years, she still does not love me at all. : Maybe she's too pampered already. Having all the food and space that she wants. Hmmmm... I heard that abandoned rabbits are friendly and probably appreciates their new owner more. Maybe I should throw this bad FP out of the house and then only she'll start appreciating me! hahahaah... joking lah. I am not as cruel as that. I love to see the greedy FP and the stupid (slightly slow) BBB trying to stand higher than each other to get their treats. Till today, BBB still hate me a lot, probably because I cut his hair. He will run into the paper box (now his house, and favourite hiding place) as soon as I get near the playpen. But, when I give treats, like papaya tablets and biscuits, he'll come out to get them from me. :
I am small, but I am cute!

This is Mickey Mouse. He's my housemate's pet and had just moved in with all of us last Sunday. Cute little fella... :) So far, Mickey just don't care much about me. He just continue digging at his favourite corner as I kept telling my housemate that he so pitiful for not having a friend. Well, it turned out that is it all right to keep just a single hamster because they'll fight with each other.

Lost stuff again!

2005-09-12T08:39:00.000+08:00

I mentioned that I wondered what else our ex-housemate took with him without informing us and well.... here it is!

I was putting my curtain back up when I needed a screwdriver. My boyfriend went to get it from the kitchen cabinet (the usual place where we kept them) and realised that our ex-housemate had taken a box of screwdrivers and a few other screwdrivers. Well, those in a box were bought by the ex-housemate but he then divided the amount paid and asked my boyfriend to pay for half of it already. So, my boyfriend should have a share for it. But, my boyfriend paid fully for the other screwdrivers (not in the box). Sigh... Can't believe this type of person even existed in this world and the most unbelievable is that this person stayed in the same house as I did for the past two years.

Excitement is over... for tonight only :P

2005-09-11T02:09:00.000+08:00

Hehehe.. I was so excited the whole night and decided to stay awake to read the latest news about the Venice Film Festival awards. I kept refreshing the results webpage and eager to know whether Sammi will win any.

Too bad, she did not but Everlasting Regret got a consolation prize, Europe Arts Exhange award.

Well, winning or not, I am still very excited to watch ER when it is shown in Singapore. According to Channel News Asia, it will be shown starting Oct 6 in Singapore. Hopefully it is true. Less than a month from today! Yeah!!!

Oh yes, I watched The Cave this afternoon and it is not good at all. It's kind of a waste of time and a waste of money.

Yesterday night, I watched The Longest Yard and it is really funny! Full of slapstick jokes that I like to watch! Go watch it and you'll like it. ;)

Everlasting Regret Themesong

2005-09-10T11:51:00.000+08:00

WOOOOOOHOOOO!!!~~~~
This is Sammi's latest song (my background song now)!!! After so long, finally get to hear her singing a new song!!!!

NICE?

Heheehehe... Of course lah!!! :P

Toilet Paper Story

2005-09-08T08:46:00.000+08:00

Heheheheheehe... I need to share with you all something really funny that happened in our apartment last night.

My ex-roommate (my housemate now) was looking for toilet paper. She opened the closet that we usually kept our packets of toilet paper rolls to find it totally empty! We thought my boyfriend had moved the packets to the kitchen cabinet instead and we yelled for him. He was astonished and told us that he was sure that the toilet papers were in the closet. Hehehehehe...

Guess what? Our ex-housemate (a good looking and educated guy) took all of the toilet paper with him when he left. The ironic part of this story is, HE DID NOT EVER PAY A SINGLE CENT TO BUY ANY TOILET PAPER AT ALL FOR THE TWO YEARS HE STAYED WITH US. Hahahahahaa... Can you imagine? Would anyone stoop so low as to take all of the toilet paper rolls (at least 15 rolls) without asking?

Well, and the second part of the story was that, on Sunday, when I was cleaning out his room (my room now), I was so surprised that he even took with him our broom and dustpan! And yes, he did not inform us that he was taking the broom with him before he left.

MY GOD!!! This world is really full of weird people.

The only reason I could think of for his actions was that he owned 25% of the washing machine, table and fridge. Well, he could have discussed with us on how we should reimburse him for his share of these items instead of just taking all our toilet papers, broom and dustpan without informing us. It is not the value of these things but his inconsiderate manner. We only found out when we REALLY needed these things.

Hmmm... I wonder what else he took, without informing, besides these. I guess, we can only find out when we want to use them. :P

I also found that the ex-housemate left two pieces of bricks, wrapped in gift wrapper when I was cleaning the room. (Er.. was he thinking of presenting his girlfriend wih bricks???) Hahahahaha.... :D

This "TOILET PAPER STORY" had taught me, "NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER". A good looking, educated guy may not be what he seemed to be. Toilet paper will never look the same again to me. Hahahaha....

Chet Lam @ NUS

2005-09-05T14:50:00.000+08:00

I went to watch Chet Lam's performance at NUS Spinelli outlet just now. There are very few people who turned up (about 30-40 people including his PR staff). It was probably because the event was held at the new University Hall, which is situated away from the main faculties. In a way, this is good because I manage to get a seat to watch him perform.

Chet actually arrived quite early as I saw him there about 12.15pm. I was buying my lunch when I saw him came out to grab some food and gobbled them down. The event was supposed to start at 1pm but it started about 10 minutes later than scheduled. He played the guitar and sang quite a lot of songs but I really don't know much about the titles of the songs. At the opening, he sang the English version of 遇见. He also sang 我与泡面 (my current background song), which is my current favourite. :P I heard his interview on Friday night in the car and he sang this song live on radio. My boyfriend and I felt that this song sounded very good. :) My boyfriend was quite amazed at Chet's ability to converse fluently in Mandarin despite coming from Hong Kong. Well, seemed like Chet could converse well not only in Cantonese and Mandarin but also in English.

I bought three of his albums and let him signed on it for myself and my boyfriend. Hahaha... It is quite embarrassing actually to do that especially when I am not his fan. Oh well, to think of it, it's not as embarrassing as it would be for the NUS economics assistant professor, who sat with me, to meet his ex-students there. I didn't know he's an assistant professor and initially thought he is Chet's fan. Well, he said he won't call himself a fan but he bought one of Chet's CD before and bought another two at the event. :P

Tiring weekend...

2005-09-05T11:11:00.000+08:00

Had to wake up early on Saturday to attend an event. Then in the afternoon, we went to Comex to see if there are promotions for the Sony Ericsson W800i phone. Had lunch at Nooch and then walked to Suntec City. Sigh... It's so crowded. By the time we got into the exhibition, we found that they weren't any promotion for W800i. So, out we go again at snail pace.

Then, we went to Plaza Singapura. After queueing up for about 20 minutes, we remembered that we didn't bring the battery charger and we couldn't trade-in the old phone. So, my boyfriend said he will go to get it. But by then, I was really tired and I think it's better that we get the phone on Sunday.

So, yesterday morning, my boyfriend went to buy the phone while I clean my new room. Yes! New room for me! This is the first time I ever get a room of my own here in Singapore. Our housemate had decided to move out in order to "leave a place that reminds him of sadness (his girlfriend left him)" but his hidden agenda is probably to move closer to his new girlfriend. But, it is good too. Now, I have a room of my own where I can watch Aqua Heroes for a million times and nobody can stop me from doing so.

From now on, my roommate is my housemate. Hahahaha... Eh, remember to leave your signature as "hm" next time. Haha...

I started cleaning the emptied room in the morning around 10am. By 7pm, I finally managed to clean the room and move in quite satisfactorily. I wiped almost every inch of the room (study table, wardrobe, window, floor, walls and cabinets) with cloth soaked in Dettol water. The only place that is left unwiped is the ceiling. Moved in my clothes, my bed and my two drawers, then carried in my TV and DVD player from the living room. I'm proud to say that I did this all on my own (although my body is aching now).

How I wish today is an off-day. Sigh... really tired but still have to be in the office.

Oh yeah, I love my new phone. Well basically, it's similar to my older phone but this one has two pluses; Sammi is using this phone too and it has 2-mega pixel camera. I'm not sure whether I'll make good use of the MP3 walkman function as I'm used to listening to MP3s from my PC or songs from the CDs. And the minus of getting this phone is... now I owe my boyfriend money. Hahahaha... Will pay him back next month as I am completely broke now.

Very nice. After a year, Sammi has a new movie finally. Can't wait to watch it now.

Hope Sammi will win the Best Actress award in Venice Film Festival.

Sammi, Good luck!!!

I love this....

2005-08-31T17:05:00.000+08:00

Just started noticing the Sony Ericsson W800i after learning that Sammi is using one now. WOW! I am now totally "wow"-ed over by this phone.

I had been looking at online auctions for Bobo's old CDs this morning but now, I've decided not to buy them yet and save money to get the W800i.

Looks like I won't be getting the Lego Mindstorms 2.0 set that I had initially planned to get this weekend. I saw it selling in Jurong Point Toys 'R' Us for SGD 403.90. Had wanted to buy on impulse last Saturday but since we were rushing into the cinema to watch Red Eye, I thought that I could probably get it this weekend. *Oops* looks like my fickle-mindedness had struck once again. Hahahaha...

Anyway, I find that I need to pamper myself a little after working hard this week! It had been so stressful. (Some of you will understand this ;))

Hmmm... but now, it is about money-flow. I am currently almost broke. Hehehe.. if I cannot resist the itch of getting one till much later, I think I'll probably borrow some money from my boyfriend to get it. :P

Hehehee... Now so excited about this. Hahaha... I find that one really good quality in me is that I always "see" and "feel" the happiness and fun of something. Anytime, any place. Hmmm... this is the reason why most of my colleagues (as well as my supervisors) commented that I never looked stressed. Sigh... in a way, this is a disadvantage too. They think that I am not serious enough in my work. :|

My Favourite Site

2005-08-31T11:42:00.000+08:00

Besides visiting Sammicheng.popz.tv, Bobozone, and The Straits Times Interactive daily (except most weekends), there is one site that I love best. It is Maggie Market. It is one of the most entertaining sites. I now rank Maggie Market higher than Baby Blues comics. Do click on the author's Diary and read her highly-entertaining entries. Her drawings are really cute and funny. There are lots of animated gif(s) for downloads. Here are some examples:

I think Maggie is really talented. She was the one who created the Kill Office Time, HK Cafe, Dai Pai Dong (HK Hawker Stall) games. If she decides to release a comic book in the future, I will surely buy it. :)

My first Bobo CD

2005-08-31T09:16:00.000+08:00

Heheheehe... Got it yesterday from Yung. Thank you, Yung!!! Thanks for your effort of looking all everywhere for Bobo's CD for me.

Very, very, very happy!!! Best of all, the CD is new (as in not used before). :)

I'm starting to like Bobo's voice more than ever after listening to the CD. There are two songs (可以密友 and 野种子) that I love immediately while the others are acquired tastes. Well, I had actually listened to every song in this CD beforehand from MP3s, which I downloaded from the internet or sent to me by YE3. But, I just feel that CDs still sound much better than MP3s.

Initially, I thought that Bobo only tied up the top of her hair on the album cover. At a closer look, I noticed that actually she had the right side of her hair shaved. I wonder whether Bobo had the same hairstylist as Hocc did?

Busy Saturday

2005-08-29T12:03:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday was a busy day for me.

Played badminton in the evening.
Skills getting better although need to learn to serve because the shuttlecock just fly aimlessly each time. Hahaha... And, sometimes, I didn't even manage to hit the shuttlecock when I serve. Believe me... it is really tiring picking up the shuttlecock a few times just to serve to start the game!!! :P

Played bowling in Taman Jurong after dinner. Skills deteriorated. Played two games and managed to score only 51 points. In the second one, I think I didn't even manage to score 40.

Watched Red Eye after bowling in Jurong Point. A really good movie!!!

Red Eye

2005-08-29T11:55:00.000+08:00

Excellent!!!

A must-watch movie!!!

The down-side: (Highlight to read SPOILERS)
Why doesn't the killer bleed when he pulled out the pen and the high-heels? Those are unrealistic.

Super Trio Ep 34

2005-08-29T11:33:00.000+08:00

The funniest part of the show was the part where Cutie Mui asked Eric Tsang to be in between the four girls during the rolling game. Hahahaha... Other than that, there are basically not much surprises in the show as it repeats most of the games on other episodes and previous seasons. I guess, the "flying umbrella Q&A" jokes just wore out after watching a couple of episodes.

Bobo was also one of the guests in the last night's Super Trio show. I find her really pretty. Cute and thin. How I wish I can be as thin too... :)

Needless to say, I am still struggling with my diet. It's really hard to lose weight especially on weekends. Yesterday, I ate ice-cream with chocolate and Horlicks powder and a lemon biscuit. Weird combination, right? It's because my boyfriend was inspired with Jamie Oliver. So, he just throw in whatever's available in the kitchen cabinet into the ice-cream. Surprisingly, the ice-cream tasted great! :D

Oh yes, I've noticed more similarities between Bobo and Sammi lately.
Both are thin and really fair.
Bobo and Sammi has quite similar looking foreheads.
Both are quite "flat".
Started liking both from TVB series.

2005-08-27T15:48:00.000+08:00

Nothing much to update here lately but just want to write something out of boredom.

Had finished watching War Of In Laws on Wednesday night. I find that the best jokes are all concentrated at the early part of the series that by the end, there wasn't much left. But it does have a happy ending.

My mother has started watching the new series, Revolving Doors Of Vengeance. I think I'll wait till she has finished the whole show and getting reviews from her before renting this series.

Kind of bored lately. Maybe I'll go catch a movie tonight. Or should I play badminton or bowling or snooker?

Wisdom tooth

2005-08-25T18:39:00.000+08:00

Sigh...

Hehehe... why are these useless teeth called wisdom teeth? Does their removal causes someone to become stupid? Why did God give us these teeth?

I have an impacted wisdom tooth on the left side. I am thinking of getting it removed but I feel really queasy. Even reading the procedures of impacted tooth surgery is enough to make me feel sick. It's just as bad as reading the gory accounts of Fran when she's working in a clinic at her blog.

I read that the gums may need to be removed to reveal the tooth. The tooth need to be cut up into several pieces too! Then the dentist may need to stitch up the wound. Ouch!

I know that I definitely have to remove my impacted impacted tooth because it has started causing me problems lately. But, I wonder whether I should remove all four wisdom teeth at the same time while I am at it so that I don't have to suffer again later. But, will that mean the pain endured will the four times stronger? And the healing process takes four times longer? Eeee......

Should I or should I not get the impacted tooth now?

Should I get all four wisdom teeth removed at the same time?

**faint**

Yummy Yummy

2005-08-22T11:59:00.000+08:00

Started watching this series two weeks ago but only watched till episode 9 till now. This series is really not as good as I had expected it to be. It's quite boring. I had rented the DVDs because it's Tavia's new series but it turn out that I liked her lesser every time I saw her in this show. The character she portrayed here is a girl who cried at every opportunity and was so helpless in all the situations. I truly dislike these type of person. Whenever I see someone like that in real life situation or in TV shows, I can only think of "Hao Bao" (Cry Baby - in Hokkien). Thinking that maybe her character will turn better, I continued to rent the next two DVD. But, I guess, I've had enough of it. So, that's it. I will not rent Yummy Yummy DVDs anymore. Ironically, the only nice scenes to watch are those with Terry (Ben Yeoh - Singapore actor), which I initially dreaded (before watching this series).

Very funny post by a Sammi fan

Stealth, Valiant & Bewitched.

2005-08-17T09:05:00.000+08:00

Managed to catch three movies over the weekend.

Stealth: Very good!!! Was lucky to be able to catch it before it ended its run in the cinema.

Valiant: Just OK and not as funny as I thought it would be because it mentioned that it was produced by the same producer as Shrek.

Bewitched: Slightly disappointing too. Just don't find there's anything funny about the nose-twitching.

Shih Tzu as Pet

2005-08-11T18:01:00.000+08:00

Pros:
Gentle, loyal, and affectionate
Lacks the "attitude" of some Toy breeds; i.e., he isn't yappy, demanding or high-strung
Usually gets along with other pets

Cons:
Grooming must be frequent and thorough; his coat tangles and mats easily
Don't get this dog unless you're willing to commit to the grooming demands
Needs air conditioning. He can't handle heat and humidity or other extreme temperatures.

Should I get a shih tzu or not??? Let's see...

Why do I want to get a shih tzu?
I like to hug a fluffy dog and shih tzus are really friendly and cute.

Can I cope with daily grooming sessions?
Yes, I can comb its hair while watching TV.

Do I want to pick up his droppings or clean his pee?
No!!! (But, I can still get one if I can somehow assign these tasks to my boyfriend.)

So... unless my boyfriend agrees, I think the next best thing is to get a FURBY! The new and better version is out. I wonder whether Singapore has already started selling it?

Funny moments in Aqua Heroes

2005-08-10T18:23:00.000+08:00

I finished watching Aqua Heroes last weekend but didn't have time to update it here. I totally love this series. The ending is very nice. Typical funny and happy ending that I truly love. Hahaha.. I was quite worried that Busy Jeh had died after her surgery.

A recap of funny moments:
1. Bobo holding a placard with the words "$36 任上"
2. When his wife was going away for a business trip, Tuck Gor says, "你放心去la" and "你安心山路la"
3. Theresa feeds Tuck Gor some food, his wife became jealous.
4. Theresa thinks that the "Bouncing Ball Ghost" is after her.
5. All the "wonderful" swimming actions.
6. The newcomer swimmers attend their first lesson with their "swimming costumes".
7. Siu Foong's skirt incident.
8. The foot-massage that Siu Foong's godmother gave to Tuck Gor before his race.

Scenes that made me feel really sad and irritated:
1. When Edwin was betrayed by his friend, Rain came and hugged him purposely, knowing that Busy Jeh was going to meet Edwin.
2. Rain making things difficult for Busy Jeh with her unreasonable requests to buy cupcakes with seven different flavors.

Actually, I hate Rain in this series. She's such a spoilt-brat!

Anger Management

2005-08-05T12:05:00.000+08:00

I wanted to blog about this quite some time ago…

When I first started liking Sammi more than 10 years ago, I heavily defended her and will not allow any criticism of her. As I grew up, I’d found that this behavior was immature and quite unreasonable as everyone should be entitled to give their opinions. Hence, I no longer felt the need to be “overly-protective” about Sammi but, occasionally, I still felt the need to hate Sammi’s competition such as Faye Wong, Miriam Yeung and Kelly Chen. These days, there is no need to hate them as they are no longer Sammi’s competition. I believe that Sammi is way ahead of them. :P

OK, now back to the present.

Recently, this “fire” in me was revived again. I didn’t feel the same way at all even when others criticize my recent idols (quite a few since last year and some had already became ex-idols). But, when someone criticized Bobo, I actually felt like answering them back. However, I had to remain diplomatic and tried hard to forgive and forget. Needless to say, I failed. Failed to forgive and forget this time, which is the reason why I wrote this out. Haha… I personally couldn’t believe how I could actually behave so childishly now. And it was this incident that showed how much I liked Bobo unknowingly. Well, honestly, she isn’t the best actress, the best singer or the best looking girl. Just like Sammi. I’ve always commented that Sammi may not be the best singer, may not be the best actress, or prettiest female singer. However, Sammi will always remain the best to me.

These days, I realised that I could manage my anger easier or maybe I had become more hypocritical?

Ex-idols

2005-08-05T11:58:00.000+08:00

I chanced upon my ex-idol’s new song, which is named similarly to a luxury car. The only thing that came immediately into my mind was that the song sounded too ordinary and so forgettable. Her songs are getting boring. I asked the opinion of a close friend about this song and she too think this song is really bad. It’s so bad that she didn’t even manage to finish listening to the whole song. We both agreed that this song is worse than her previous self-composed song, titled, “Transforming into a moth”.

Another ex-idol of mine looked superb in her recent unreleased series. When I saw the photo, it reminds me of how similar she looked to the character she played as, in the series about pilots and airlines. Now, I can’t wait to watch the series produced for ATV although I normally dislike ATV series. Since this is a compliment, I think that it is appropriate for me to post her photo here.

ALIVE

This is a new band which was formed by actors Daniel Wu, Andrew Lin, Terence Yin and Conroy Chan. Their songs can be downloaded free from their website: www.alivenotdead.com.

Do take a look. Daniel Wu even have a blog there. There are photos, music video and lots more.I think their first song 阿當的抉擇 is quite nice.

Aqua Heroes

2005-08-02T14:19:00.000+08:00

My mother bought me the Aqua Heroes VCD set last weekend. Yesterday night, I only managed to watch the first two episodes. So far, the show is quite funny.

But, I wonder whether is there really a swimming technique to turn your body and "fly"? Hahaha...

Ruby

2005-08-01T17:39:00.000+08:00

My uncle bought a shih tzu puppy during the Chinese New Year for his 9 year old daughter's birthday. Having heard so many stories about Ruby from my mother and grandmother, I finally saw him (yes, he is a male dog but was named Ruby by my uncle's son) last Saturday. He barked at us when we approached the gate but my uncle scolded him and when we went into the house, he became super-friendly. His fur is thick and soft and he just kept licking at my hand, put his front paws on my knee to stand beside me, hugged my boyfriend's leg and licked his toes! hahaha... he's really friendly. It's so nice to touch his fluffy fur and I tried to carry him, but didn't manage to because I didn't know the correct way to carry him. Later, I saw my cousin sister just grabbed both his front legs and carried him. Hehee... He's really cute and friendly. His body is like a fluffy bolster.

Oh, now, I'm thinking that it's probably better to keep a dog than rabbits. Your love to a dog gets reciprocrated but to rabbits, it is not. But, the cons of keeping a dog is that the faeces are so much bigger and smellier. Other than that, it is really nice having a pet that happily welcomes you home each day. By the way, Ruby doesn't smell bad at all, possibly because he was bathed and groomed recently.

Highlands Hotel vs. KL Hilton

2005-08-01T12:01:00.000+08:00

The Highlands Hotel is the WORST hotel I've been to during these few years. It even had the cheek to claim to be a 5-star hotel!!! My God! Once I stepped into the room and seen the old, rotten cupboard it has, the dirty toilets, I had decided, "NO WAY I'M GONNA STAY HERE TONIGHT!". I had to overcome a battle with my parents who insisted that it was still bearable to stay there before leaving with my boyfriend. They stayed there since the room had been paid earlier with credit card and they wanted to watch Yang Xiang Ping's (old woman) concert.

My boyfriend and I left immediately and drove all the way from Genting Highlands back to KL. We checked into the KL Hilton, which we had stayed at, just a month ago and was really relieved. This is how a REAL 5-star hotel should be. It has friendly service, nicely decorated rooms, and a beautifully designed open-concept bathroom. It's spacious room is also furnished with a writing table and an ergonormic armchair, sofa, a 42-inch plasma TV, and even a small LCD TV at the bathroom so that you can still watch your favourite shows while you are taking a bath or washing your face. :) How I wish I could furnish my house the same way in the future!

On the next morning, we drove back to Genting to meet up with my parents. It was there that my mother finally conceded to the fact that the hotel was lousy and was complaining about how bad the hotel room in Highlands Hotel was. I'll never stay overnight in Genting unless there are new and better hotels in the future.

And guess what? Highlands Hotel costs RM340 per night while KL Hilton costs RM350 and provides free buffet breakfast for two. So, KL Hilton is really value for money!

Pitiful rabbit at Pet Shop

2005-07-27T23:06:00.000+08:00

Went to Serangoon North Ave 1 just now to have a look at the various pet shops over there. Saw only two shops selling rabbits. Couldn't find a beige color rabbit that I was hoping for but instead saw a one year old local rabbit, which is similar to FP. She has the same beige color but she's really small compared to FP. It has been left at the shop by the previous owner. Very pitiful. I think the previous owner didn't feed it enough. Sigh... The shopkeeper wanted to sell her for $10. My boyfriend is afraid that FP will get jealous of her.

Although I had heard from HRSS volunteers that rabbits can fight each other and cause torn ears, cut eyes or bitten patches of fur, I am still itching to get a new rabbit. Hmmmm... But, whenever I see FP and BBB perfectly happy with each other, maybe it is really not a very good idea to get a new rabbit. Maybe I really should sacrifice "what-I-want" and care more for FP and BBB's blissfulness. Anyway, my boyfriend does not want another rabbit. For him, two rabbits are enough.

P/S: BBB is licking FP's forehead now. They are both really affectionate (to each other only).

War of In-Laws

2005-07-26T09:06:00.000+08:00

I rented the first DVD of this series yesterday. It's so funny!!! We laughed so hard at the antics of the mother-in-law (Lisa Wang) and daughter-in-law (Myolie Wu). I'm starting to like Myolie more now. She's really a good actress that I think it's really quite unreasonable of me to hate her for her role in Triumph In The Skies just because I felt that she's the standing block between Belle and Sam. It's no wonder that Lisa Wang commented that Myolie is the Queen of TVB this year.

P/S: The song in the background is the themesong of the War of In-Laws series. Singer: Lisa Wang, Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong.

Online ad

2005-07-25T18:13:00.000+08:00

Saw an online ad selling lop rabbits and I enquired about it. I think I'll go there one of these days to take a look at the rabbit. It is 5 months old and brown with grey strips. I'd forgotten to ask for its gender, though.

I was really bored with all of Sammi's old songs today. So, I listened to Hocc's old songs, Yim Kwong Sei Seh and Yao Duk Zou instead. Still sounded very good. I wonder whether any new songs of Hocc are up to the notch of these two great tunes these days.

Anyway, I was really angry yesterday night and this morning. Only two person knew why. I believe I'll still be angry for quite a while. Really irritating!!! It made me so angry that I don't even have the mood to do any work. Hmmphh!!!

Pets Shop shopping...

2005-07-23T09:51:00.000+08:00

Went to see the lops at Petzstuff yesterday night. Saw a really cute chinchilla colored, dwarf lop but guess how much it is? SGD 500. Because he is imported from Australia. He's already 9 months old. Of course I didn't buy it. On the way back, I thought, maybe I can sell away the guitar and buy the dwarf lop. Hehehehe....

Then we went to Bukit Panjang pet shops. There are two lops in a pet shop in Bukit Panjang Plaza. Costs only SGD180 because they are bred locally. But, too bad, one is angora lop (my boyfriend thinks it is troublesome to take care of long hair rabbit) and the other's fur color is dirty brown (I don't really like this color).

Instead, I bought a new bowl and a "sofa bed" for FP and BBB. After the initial exploration, both of them hardly go near the sofa bed now. Sigh... wasted my money again.

Getting a new rabbit

2005-07-22T12:56:00.000+08:00

Actually since Fatty Crab passed away on February 5th, 2005, I had always wanted to adopt another rabbit, which is similar to him.

Then, I kept seeing those beige, lop-ear rabbits that I just really love their flat nose and droopy ears. Hahaha.... So cute.. (See this: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/casryn)

Yesterday, I was talking to my boyfriend about it and even called my father to see if he wants to get me something for my birthday. He asked me what I wanted and told him I want a new rabbit. Of course he didn't agree immediately, reasoning that it's more troublesome with another rabbit.

Let's see how's the progress later and whether I can find a suitable rabbit at suitable price.... ;)

The Threat

2005-07-21T14:54:00.000+08:00

Watched this TVB telemovie twice yesterday. I feel that this show is not bad but my roommate thinks otherwise. She said that the plots are lousy and Bobo's acting is bad. She said there is nothing exciting and the pace is too slow.

Well, I already told her beforehand that Bobo's acting in this show is not good. But, I still feel the story is suspenseful enough. Hahaha... Maybe it's because I don't like to watch horror movies because my own imagination is what scares me the most. So for this movie, it's enough to make me feel eerie even with the slightest incident. Hahaha.. At the start of the show, Liu Kai Chee (guy who acted as Bobo's character, Ah Si's father) suddenly appeared at the windows and that face is really scary. Hehehe... And I felt that the show was suspenseful enough in the sense that from the early part of the show, I had already started suspecting Ah Si's uncle and aunt had some motive to apply to be her guardian. By the way, my roommate also complained that they should have let a younger actress act as Ah Si instead of Bobo because it's too obvious that Bobo is older than 21 years old and does not need a guardian.

Anyway, I still quite like this show. I like shows with an ending. Not one that suddenly ends like The Gateau Affairs. TGA started as a very good series, with lots of laughs in between and lots of mouth-watering cakes. But the ending is too abrupt. It will be perfect if there is 22 episodes instead of 20.

2005-07-16T08:47:00.000+08:00

It's here!!! Yeah!!! It's here!!! YESSSSHHHH!!!! My Harry Potter book is here!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

Now, I'm going to wrap it up nicely.... :)

Well, I was too excited that I couldn't sleep last night and only went to sleep around 4am. Luckily, I was able to wake up when the doorbell rang just now. Heheheehe.... :D

This time, I'm going to read the book slowly and not rush through it (hopefully).

Fantasy Hotel

2005-07-13T12:34:00.000+08:00

Rented the first DVD (Episode 1-3) yesterday. It's really funny! And, I think it is good to be aware of the tactics that tour guides usually use to coax the visitors to buy more useless stuff.

My mom also praised this series yesterday night when I called her after watching the DVD. She happily recalled and told me about her experience when she visited Hong Kong last year. She also had to endure similar tactics, albeit less obvious. Nevertheless, my grandmother was cheated willingly into buying a small pack of preserved plums for RM 60. Hahahaha... Ironically, my grandmother came back home and complained to my second aunt that my mother disallowed her from buying more preserved plums. She had wanted to buy a bigger pack of preserved plums which contains about 60 (individually wrapped) preserved plums for RM 150. And all because the seller claimed that these plums can "止咳化痰" (prevent cough, reduce phlegm)! Hahahaha... Believe me, I've tried it and it is just the same as the normal plums that we can easily get everywhere in Malaysia. Usually, when you buy herbal medicine from Chinese medical shops, they will just freely grab some and give it to you. And that's F.O.C! :P

Reflections...

2005-07-12T13:24:00.000+08:00

It has been two years...

What have I done?
None. No significant achievements.

But I have learnt from my past mistakes.

1. Do not spend recklessly.
References: More X'mas presents... , My Guitar!!!
Need to learn to save money. Let’s start with 40% of my allowances.
Stop buying CDs, VCDs, and DVDs freely.

2. Do not waste time.
Waste too much time to update blog, surf net all day, play Spider Solitaire and keep myself updated with news regarding my idols.

3. Work hard now and enjoy later.
Work hard in the office and don’t bring work home. It’s time to enjoy myself at home.

:P~~~

I was thinking maybe I should start learning Japanese words by remembering what those delicious looking food were called when I encountered this website.

Click HERE for the more mouth-watering food.

It was so funny just now. I asked YE3 to start talking to me in Japanese and she sent me an sms with only Japanese words (spelt out in Romaji). It sounded so funny reading it because I could hardly understand anything. All I could make out of her sms was, "... ... ... .. .. I.... ..... ...... you ... I ... Japanese language..... ... .... .... .... understand?"

Ending of TGA... :(

2005-07-11T17:29:00.000+08:00

Finished watching The Gateau Affairs on Saturday and I felt that the series is too short. They should lengthen the show to at least 22 episodes. It's like there is no ending to the show. What a disappointment after such a great start and such a great story throughout.

I am now watching My Family (up to episode 15). Quite funny and nice. Hopefully there is a good and happy ending.

2005-07-08T10:05:00.000+08:00

I wonder why news articles mentioned that this movie is less than fantastic when I trully like this movie and find it really enjoyable. The guy acting as Johnny a.k.a. The Torch is so good looking. Handsome and cute and funny too! I wonder what's his real name? Hehehe.. Cannot tell my boyfriend. Or else he might get jealous! Hahahaha...

I also tried looking for Bobo Chan's CD yesterday but couldn't find it. Maybe she's another Hocc in Singapore, where 99% of the population still does not know her? Anyway, I had downloaded a few of Bobo's songs from the internet. Other than the themesong of The Gateau Affairs (playing on the background), I also like the themesong of Aqua Heroes and the song called 野种子 (Ye Chung Ji).

I asked my mom to buy me the Aqua Heroes series. Hopefully it is as enjoyable as TGA even though I've read some pretty bad reviews about it.

I am still evaluating which language I should take up now. Heard from my bestfriend that Arabic has feminine and masculine words too! That will be quite a hurdle for me. Especially when I don't have real interest in things that are Arabic. At least my bestfriend can practise by reading the Quran, which is her main intention.

Maybe I'll learn Japanese again. At least I still like their food very much. Hehehe... I'll wait till YE3 comes back from her vacation and ask her whether she will practise it with me. :D

Relapse...

2005-07-07T16:51:00.000+08:00

I've got a new favourite actress again! HAHAHAAHAHAHA... (I hear someone muttering, "My God! Not again!")

Yeah, it's just my nature to be fickle-minded. Hehehee... No amount of antibiotics can rid me of the Warm Chicken Shit disease. I've got a new favourite actress!!! Guess who she is? You can easily guess the answer, base on the recent gushes I made about The Gateau Affairs.

And, she is... Bobo Chan. She's cute in there and really funny too whenever she scolds Jack Wu. Nice, funny couple.

I read two days ago about Yung picking up French. I had wanted to learn it earlier because of Hocc, and before that, I had wanted to learn Spanish because of Flora. But, as usual, I gave up after one self-study lesson. Hahaha... But after writing email to my bestfriend, I am starting to think about learning a foreign language again. Two languages that came into mind are Arabic or Tamil. At least if I were to learn them, I can "practise" it with my bestfriend in our emails. I haven't decided for sure yet though. If you can think of a nicer language to learn, your suggestions are gladly welcomed.

Now wondering whether there are language tools to use to type in Arabic or Tamil. Or else it will be impossible to communicate with my bestfriend by email in those languages.

Or maybe I should learn Japanese again after giving it up years ago after an introductory course? If I were to learn Japanese again, YE3 would be of great help. But, I am not really interested in Japanese stuff other than their food and robotics. I had never understood the J-Pop craze or Anime mania. Back then, I took up the course, harbouring hopes that the tutor would teach us about Japanese food. To my disappoinment, she never did.

Interesting!!!

Sammi's Album & Wallpaper

2005-07-04T22:15:00.000+08:00

This is Sammi's final album from Capital Artists. There are so many nice songs in this album but too bad none of the songs are plugged by CA because they had "freezed" Sammi after she decided to move on to Warner Music.

I've just changed my wallpaper yesterday. It's really a good one. The cartoon figure of Sammi was drawn by Carts and the wallpaper was designed by Ripley. I love it immediately after seeing it!

I bought both the mini bus and mini truck from online auction; $28 and $30 for each, respectively. I find both are really cute!

(By the way, since Sammi's no longer the spokesperson for Pepsi and Pepsi has recruited Nicholas Tse, I will try not to drink Pepsi anymore unless there's no other choice. I just hate Nic Tse. )

2 weeks...

2005-07-04T14:24:00.000+08:00

I finished watching three series during the past two weeks; Eternal Happiness (再生缘), Vigilante In The Mask (怪侠一枝梅), and The Gentle Crackdown (秀才遇著兵).

EH changed my opinions on Michelle Yip. Previously, I hate her after watching Triumph In The Skies. Now, I think she's quite nice. Hahahaha... :P But, my mother still dislikes her. She commented that Michelle's acting look fake in EH.

VITM is not very nice either. It sort of decrease my liking of Tavia. The storyline of this series is not interesting, except for the last three episodes. And I don't really like the ending. Nevertheless, I still managed to finish watching all of the 20 episodes in one day.

I had expected TGC to be funnier but still I find TGC quite OK. Moses is funny and intelligent in this show. I think Moses is a good actor. However, I felt that Niki Chow is not suitable for her role in TGC. By the way, I just found out that Niki Chow was born on Aug 30, 1979 just like Tavia! What a coincidence!

The Gateau Affairs

I am currently watching The Gateau Affairs (情迷黑森林). This show is so enjoyable that although I had already watched till episode 14 at home, I still watch it again from episode 1 here, after recommending this show to my boyfriend. He likes it a lot too. It's really funny and the cakes look really yummy!!! Nice matching of Myolie Wu with Joe Ma and Jack Wu with Bobo Chan. Myolie shows that she is a very capable actress. This time she is totally different from the good, nice girl character she usually portrays. The actress (I don't know her name) that acts as Myolie's mother is also very funny. Together with Lau Kar Fai and Ma Tai Lou (ugly woman who became (in)famous of her character in Kindred Spirit), the show is hilarous!

I went to watch War Of The Worlds and Initial D yesterday. WOTW is so boring, that I dozed off for a few minutes during the show. This show is not like what it is hyped-up to be! How I wish I could give the girl (Rachel) a tight slap each time she cries needlessly. And, all of the Robbie reappears at the ending. (Huh???) Luckily, ID is way better than WOTW. Or else it would have been a wasted trip to the cinema. Although I hate Jay Chou for his looks, I still thought that the show is worthy of a try since it has cool hunk, Shawn Yue and funnyman, Chapman To. Turned out that Jay's acting is bearable, and not as bad as I dreaded it to be. ID is so nice that I can't wait for its sequel now! Hahahaaha...

Now, I am alsoe waiting to watch The Herbalist's Manual & Yummy Yummy Food For Life. I read the latest news from taviayeung.com that TVB will start airing this series in August! I love series about food. Yummy....

Batman Begins

2005-06-16T15:30:00.000+08:00

Saw that Batman Begins started showing yesterday and immediately went to watch it after work. Hehehe...

The special Batman popcorn+drink combo was so attractive, with a small Batman figure on top of the cup that I wanted one, although I was supposed to be on diet to lose weight! :P

This movie is really enjoyable. We get to know how Bruce Wayne became Batman. I am not a Batman comics fan so I didn't know until I watched this movie. There are some genuine jokes in the movie too. Not those silly ones. Everyone must watch this movie too!!! It's superb!

Sammi is the BEST

2005-06-14T19:59:00.000+08:00

I started listening to Sammi's 很爱很爱郑秀文 yesterday and I just love each and every song in it and had been listening to the same CD for the whole day today. I wonder why I didn't feel the same last time. It was probably because Sammi released albums too frequently back then and I didn't have enough time to savour every bit of it, and I kind of dislike the long Maggi noodle hairstyle on the cover. Now that I've listened carefully, I like every song in this album. It's still not too late. :)

This album also comes with the free VCD of Sammi's Taipei mini concert. I watched her performance of the song 永远都不够 for five times and thought of all the happy moments I had with her. Sammi can never ever be replaced by anyone. Not Tavia. Not Hocc. And not Flora. Sammi is irreplaceable. Sammi is always and forever the best in my heart.

Sammi, where are you?

2005-06-14T17:30:00.000+08:00

It is really worrying that there are no news from Sammi personally to clear the "theories" about her disappearance. I wonder how Sammi is right now.

Sammi is my idol, my friend and even my lucky charm. Hopefully Sammi will appear and dispel the rumors soon! All the best wishes to Sammi.

THE CORRECT WAY!
