movie freak!

it is now the 5th day of my 2-week break..
and i haven't done anything useful since it started!
i mean like seriously.. i feel like a piece of junk..
well, except for doing one P3 maths past year,
and cooking dinner for my family since mum wasn't well..

wasn't at home for 2 days and 2 nights..
i didn't do anything stupid like running away from home..
cos i am still quite dependent on my parents..
especially money-wise! hehe..

anyway, let's talk about some happy stuff..
i have finally finished and started some drama series! ^^V

first up is "9 Ends 2 outs"..
it is a Korean series i started since end of last year..
i was just too lazy to wait for it to get loaded.. hehe..

9 Ends 2 Outs

basically, this is not the typical Korean drama..
it revolves around coming of age singles - 30 year-olds!
it uses the baseball theme to compare fate and lives
of coming of age singles - 30 year-olds!
it talks about people facing everyday issues
and how they dealt with their emotions..
how the past influences the present and how they adapt..
the ups and downs of friendship and love..
there are a few love triangles though.. hehe

L-R: Hwang Ji Hyun, Lee Jung Jin, Soon Ae and Lee Tae Sung

love birds: 22 year-old Jung Joo and 30 year-old Nan Hee

Shin Joo Young (Im Yoona of Girls' Generation) gets involved

2 guys over a girl: Byun Hyun Tae VS Kim Jung Joo

this is awkward: Park Ji Sun (middle) is Hyun Tae's gf..

they both like Hyun Tae: Hong Nan Hee VS Yoon Sung Ah

Hyun Tae VS Lee Joon Mo: I wanna marry Nan Hee!!

Lee Sang Woo acts as Lee Joon Mo in this series.. HOT!!

house mates: a guy and a girl?

would you even play this game?

best friends turn lovers

up next is War Of In-Laws 2 / 野蛮奶奶大战戈师奶
i started this Hong Kong TVB series since February!
i took so long to finish cos i don't really like Bosco..
but this series seemed like Devil Wears Prada..
involves fashion, love and family.. hehe

Liza Wang acts as Ophelia, the iron lady..
who is Elva fashion magazine editor-in-chief..
her son is Kyle Gwo Duk acted by Bosco Wong..
who married Chow Lai Mun, acted by Myolie Wu..
and here goes the story.. blablabla

War Of In-Laws 2 / 野蛮奶奶大战戈师奶

they got married after 2 months knowing each other?

this is what you wear on your 1st day in Elva

big boss's son likes her?

they as crushes here and as siblings in The Seventh Day!

Chow Lai Mun VS Athena.. who gets Kyle?

Athena is acted by Vivien Yeo (former Miss Malaysia)

they are a cute couple!

Coco and CC? mismatched couple.. =P

since when girls carried guys? so heavy wey..

the big happy Elva family..=)

next show is The Seventh Day / 最美丽的第七天..
it took me 1.5 weeks to finish.. hehe..
the smart YouTube deleted a lot of episodes..
so i had to look for other resources.. not telling ya here! =P

The Seventh Day / 最美丽的第七天

this is another TVB series.. 2008 production!
it involves 2 guys born on the same day of the same year..
they are different people with different attitudes..
so obviously their point of view on love is not the same!

Kevin Cheng acts as Yau Chi Wing/游志穎
an odd job worker who takes relationship seriously..
Bosco Wong acts as Don Hui Wai Yan/ 許懷仁
is money-minded and takes love as a tool to
climb a the social ladder a.k.a. getting richer..

by chance, they both meet their partners..
Chi Wing's is Ling Ka Yan/凌加恩 (acted by Niki Chow)..
Don's is Sasa Wong Chi Kwan/王芷君 (acted by Natalie Tong)

Chi Wing, Kah Yan and Jack the smart dog

Chi Wing and his ex Yuen Jing/阮靜 (Selina Li acts)

no harm helping your rival..

the doctor and Ling Ka Yan..

happy being together..=)

they started dating each other in a weirdest way!

Don and Sasa under the rain..

they missed each other only when they split =.=

DDMK: the four bosses of Ten Restaurant /Ten厅

Kevin and Niki make a good couple..=)

Bosco and Natalie look cute!

who makes a hotter and better dad? Kevin, he's 40!!

as i said earlier, i have started 2 other series few days ago..
first is a slightly old Korean series Marrying A Millionaire..

Marrying A Millionaire

this series started with an adaption from
the American reality show with a similar name..
heard of it huh? but this is a Korean version.. hehe

Han Eun Young (acted by Kim Hyun Joo) and
Kim Young Hoon (acted by Ko Soo) are ex-classmates..
Eun Young used to like Young Hoon until she found out
that behind that handsome face is a pea brain..
their paths came across again when they are adults..

PD Yoo Jin Ha (by Yoon Sang Hyun) requested
Young Hoon who does all sorts of jobs for money
to act as the show's millionaire..
8 girls were chosen to be the potential bride..
and one of them is Eun Young.. and blablabla..

Kim Ki Bum acts as young Young Hoon..

dating with Young Hoon the "millionaire"

i still have 5 more episodes to go la..
so i can't elaborate on what happens next..
but currently, a lot of controversy is going on..
Young Hoon is now a rising star in Seoul..
he still likes Eun Young, and hearts only her..
PD Yoo who is rich likes Eun Young..
Eun Young is in the crossroads of choosing one of them..
the show's host Jung Soo Min (acted by Soon Tae Young)
is a rich man's daughter who likes Young Hoon.. =)

during an interview..

host Jung Soo Min and PD Yoo Jin Ha.. H.O.T!!!

obviously this is the ending la.. but i want to know how..

last but not least, the most recent Taiwanese series..
recommended by my cousin, Sis Wui..
called
Fated To Love You/命中注定我爱你..=)

Fated To Love You/命中注定我爱你

L-R: Baron Chen, Joe Chen, Bianca Bai, Ethan Ruan

it has been aired in Taiwan for a month already..
basically it's about 2 strangers,
Chen Xin Yi/陈欣怡 (acted by Joe ChenQiao En)
Ji Chun Xi/纪存希
(acted by Ethan Ruan Jing Tian)
who went for a cruise with their respective partners..
ended up having a one-night stand with each other..

this happened unexpectedly because..
Chun Xi, a big boss in a big company, was drugged..
XinYi, an office lady, went to the wrong room..
and they thought that each other were their partners..

Anna, Chun Xi's girlfriend did not board the cruise..
she choose her career and left for America..
she has already rejected Chun Xi's proposals many times..
but she knows Chun Xi will wait for her dearly..

Gu Zhe, Xin Yi's supposedly handsome boyfriend..
cheated her with an old widow.. very shocking huh?
he asked herto return to their room and wait for him..

who's Gu Zhe? who's Anna?

the romantic "proposal"

this is what you wear to buy pregnancy kit! XD

and so the product of their one-night stand?
Xin Yi got pregnant!!
and Chun Xi's grandma forced them to get married..
she's desperate for her great-grandchild! =.=

Chun Xi and his funny grandma..

i think she's the grandma in Bull Fighting too!
but she looks a bit too young to be one la.. haha

ok. enough of spoilers already.. go watch them for yourself!

fun day including L

finally trials are over..
i think i did really badly in Maths today.. =(
was really depressed initially, but we had so much fun..
so i have decided to be depressed another day..
probably when the trials results are out - in 2 weeks!

anyway, let me teach you guys a way or two
of how to undo depression temporarily..
using this method which kinda worked, for me at least.. =P

hang out with a group of friends.. the more the merrier?
our destination today was Sunway Pyramid..
it is where you meet the familiar Taylor-ian faces, yet again..

have a yummy, filling and reasonable lunch with your pals..
the less interruption, the better.. hehe.. *hints to whoever*
the food was still tasty cos it wasn't the busy hour..
Kim Gary was practically filled with students from my batch!
everyone releasing stress after the last paper? XD

next, you go for a good movie.. finally!!!
especially when your new found celebrity crush is in it..
you guys should already know who i am referring to..
this is like the 3rd post in a row that i have mentioned him..
KENICHI MATSUYAMA!!! *hugs, hugs, hugs tighter*
the show is obviously L: Change The World..
if you have guessed wrongly, go bang your head on the wall!


the posters..

just like in everywhere else that you read..
this movie is basically about the last 23 days of L's on earth..
there's this deadly virus, 12-year-old pretty gal named Maki,
unnamed math genius who is resistant against the virus,
not-so-nutty professors, ok la.. more like scientists..
bad guys who want to create a new world just like Light,
greedy and freaky murderers, loyal detectives..
and of cos legendary L.. duh~

this movie is not exactly scary..
it has a fair share of sad, hilarious and awkward moments..
L can do action stunts too!
and my dear Kenny portrayed L very well.. ^^
we got to see the never-seen-before-sides of L..
he spoke English too, in understandable accent.. so cute!!
he was just so lovable! it's undeniably true..
if you don't believe then go watch for yourself!
which made me like Kenny more..
so he is working harder! *whacked*

during the movie, i shed a few drops of tears.. haha..
at least less than someone.. *points fingers at ~whacked~*
laughed and enjoyed the movie till my heart was contented..
the guy who sat right behind me laughed like an evil witch!
even though when it's not very funny.. no joke!

and i was told that at every so-called intimate scenes of L..
Shi Wen and Melissa was spying at me, to see how i react!
as long as if he's not my real-life boyfriend, i won't mind..
even if i see any of my celebrity crush kissing on-screen..
i would show no hatred against them..
and i'll tell you whether it was nice or not after that.. =)

oh!! and remember to stay at your seat till after the credits..
most of the movie-goers missed the last part!
except for the 8 of us and a couple.. thanks to Swee Yin!
she made us stay after reading an article about it..
she fell in love with L-the-character way before me..
she reads the manga but i don't, you see..
BUT i like Kenny la.. not his character.. so back off la! =P


***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!***

you remember how L died in Death Note 2: The Last Name ?
after he greeted Light Yagami's father who left the room..
he died peacefully on his sofa while squatting..
and eating his and my favourite - chocolates! *yum yum*
that's how he died in this 3rd installment too..
but it is only shown after the credits.. hehe..

click here for more details.. but it's in Japanese.. XD

like pin-pointed by Shi Wen.. this quote is interesting!
one of L's last lines from the movie to Near..
"No matter how gifted you are,
you alone cannot change the world!'

***END OF SPOILERS***


after that, you sing you heart out at a karaoke session!
my friends can really sing wey.. not me la..
thank God the glass didn't crack when i sang.. =P


sing, sing, sing~

i salute Sun Mei for her powerful and high pitched singing..
but there's a problem.. it's a fact la..
she only wants to sing the female parts during duets!

Melissa and Yizhen know lyrics of plenty of English songs..
Melissa can sing very well and fast too!
Yizhen on the other hand can rap really well..^^
the latter's other-self, Loong Jin..
who constantly pokes her in the name of fun, he left early..
but i still can remember his rendition of You Raise Me Up! XD

Eu Nee's turn.. she knows a lot of songs i have never heard!
and she kept emphasizing that she wants Lollipop..
i thought she was referring to the new Taiwanese band..
mana tau it was actually an English song with funny lyrics..
there's even a shop called Lollipop selling clothes leh..
L stirs his coffee with Lollipop too..
everywhere also Lollipop! why la?
can't they find a more unique name like Meng Yean?
no one i know has that exact spelling, you know.. *whacked*
oh, and i just realized.. Lollipop starts with a LOL..
really can Laugh Out Loud man!!

Shi Wen's voice very cute, too girly to sing guy's part la..
not like me, who can only sing really low key songs.. haha..
and she knows Korean songs too.. so nice!
we also surprised her with an early birthday cake! =)

the birthday girl and her cake..

girls only..

it was supposed to be 3-hour session with drinks included,
but since the system didn't turn off until an hour later..
we stayed back to sing till then! hehe.. so untung leh?
i think my voice got hoarse already la.. T.T

next, you teman your friends to buy doughnuts..
i haven't actually tried J.Co Doughnuts, but...
everything there seemed to be the same as Big Apple's!
after the smell submersed into your clothes..
just like the stinky Asia Cafe smell that hides in your hair..
you join your friends for dinner.. hehe

but i left early though, just sat for 15mins at Sushi Zanmai..
you look at the menu and don't order anything..
and you ask your friends to recommend you nice stuff..
so that you can order them next time..
Shi Wen and Li Keong say wasabi with soy sauce not hot!
Yizhen, did you make sure that they finished the wasabi? =P

so, i spent like 8 whole hours at Pyramid la..
totally enjoyed myself with the happy people!
*thank you Sun Mei for the pictures!*

and that's how you temporarily undo depression..
end of story.. freaking long post! hee~

IF NOT, DON'T REGRET.. I DID WARNED YA~















haha.. APRIL FOOLS to all of you!!!

how was my teaser post yesterday?
but i am coming clean this time..

Kenny-the special-guy-that-i-introduced-yesterday?
some of you who are observant enough would have noticed..
Kenny is just a nickname i gave him.. hehe..
his name is Kenichi Matsuyama!!!

i wish i was that lucky la..
but sorry to disappoint you.. T__T

he's a Japanese actor who i took notice around a week ago..
he appeared in an interview for The Star..
his looks were absolutely eye-catching.. loved his smile!
he's officially the first Japanese guy i think is H.O.T.!!!

p/s: i have thought of this April Fool joke since then! =P

Kenichi Matsuyama a.k.a Kenny in The Star article

as you can see,
he played the character L in all 3 Death Note movies..
the latest one L Change The World is in cinemas now..
i have just watched the first two last weekend! hehe..
can't wait to know how he revived and died again..
*Shaun, i know you watch already la..
why you get preview tickets? T__T*

the ever frowning smart-elect L..

and because i had to Google for a suitable picture of him..
as in for the previous post..
and yes, i didn't take that picture! *paiseh and mianhae*
i found out that he's the same guy that i find hot..
and oh-so-perfect-turned-cowardly-jerk in 1 Litre of Tears!
a show that i have watched and cried loads last year.. hehe
he's Aya's senior and first love interest, Yuji Kawamoto..
i can't believe what i saw wey.. same guy!

as Yuji Kawamoto

there are a lot more pictures in the Internet..
so slowly go find yourself if you are interested..
i only chose those nice ones.. hehe
and since he's quite versatile..
he can look so different in different shows..
see what make up can do to us? *salute salute*
the lala pictures of him got rejected by me.. so yeah..

anyway, GOTCHA didn't i? *scores*
i know you feel like whacking me right now..
but at least i made you smiled today.. =)))))
