the only reader of my blog - hao-e - made a comment that i should start blogging about the TVB serials i have recently been watching en masse. Mum has been feeding me 20/30part serials every other week. So i truth, i have really conquered some cantonese dramas of late. i'm a TV junkie. i always knew i was something.

The latest of which is a xuan xuan drama where she's this "xi liang" person "li hua" (i.e. non-Chinese) who endeavours to make peace between the Tang emperor and xi liang by marrying "xue ding shan" who is a Tang person and he hates xi liang. (they supposedly have some yuan fen thingie, predestined to be together, and their union will bring about peace for both countries... blah blah) Hmm... So li hua manages to wiggle her way into getting the emperor to force ding shan to marry her. she endures all the criticisms and unfair treatment at the xue's house. Finally, ding shan falls for her and the 2 live happily ever after. my fav ending.

Before that, was the drama wo de ye man nai nai (in-law wars). also damn funny and entertaining. the guy is so toot, he's positively cute. or the other way around. haha. in-law relationships are never easy to manage (see previous entry), esp when the MIL is a manchurian princess, cousin to the empress, and the DIL was a bandit. haha. But of course the ending is, MIL becomes less critical and demanding, and they live happily (squabbling) ever after. again, my fav ending.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
