Mysteries of Love (My thoughts, thus far)

Instead of updating one of my fanfics (A Truthful Lie), I decided to write a blog entry about the current series, Mysteries of Love. I've been reading great reviews about the series and even the TV ratings in Hong Kong are relatively high compared to the other series that are currently airing. Because of such incidents I decided to give the series a try, other than the fact that I have been secretly waiting for Raymond to once again appear in a series.

I have also read comments about how this series had plagarized the Japanese series 'Detective Galileo' and I must say those comments are somewhat false. I have watched a few episodes of Detective Galileo before and it was a good watch, however, I never had the chance to finish because I forgot the site and I became too busy with other stuff to find it again. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Detective focused more on the cases, which of course captured its intended audience's attention. On the other hand Mysteries focused a lot more on the relationship aspects.

For example, I'm only on episode 9 and Tavia has already fallen head over heals for Raymond, and she had fallen in love with him several episodes prior. On the other hand 'Detective' mostly had Galileo and the female officer as a bickering duo...and their relationship is built on their numerous encounters with one another...which seemed to be lacking for Raymond and Tavia. Personally, I don't think admiration for one's talent adds up to falling in love with that person, hence, I find Mysteries a bit too unrealistic in the love department.

Another thing I must say about Mysteries is the fact that Kenneth does not fit the role of a womanizer. Sure, he has that intolerable smirk on his face and a few unbuttoned buttons on his shirt, but that does not equate to a womanizer. He doesn't really seem to fit the role whatsoever and frankly I'd rather see Bosco take on that role, or even better to have Ron take that role. Hmm...actually Kenneth and Raymond should even switch roles...that would be the actual sight to see.

At the moment, I don't find Mysteries to be spectacular at all, or even close to deserving such rave reviews. I'm pretty sure most people who are watching the series are watching it because of the cast which consists of Raymond Lam. Without a doubt if that role was replaced by another TVB actor who have been appearing quite frequently on TV screens (ie Kevin) the reaction would be completely different.

I also think that the lack of focus on the cases make the cases quite simple, rather than complexed like the ones in Detective. I would rather have more complicated and detailed cases rather than simple cases with a love story shoved everywhere. The physics behind some of the early cases that I'm watching currently seems to be quite simple, and being a non-physics expert...I think such incidents in the series could even be explained through common sense. This leads me to wonder about a few things...

1. Why would you ask a physics professor to explain something so simple?
2. Is it cheap to hire a physics professor?
3. Did the police officers lose their common sense?
4. Why do they call Raymond's character Professor King? I thought his last name would be Chinese. And, I thought they would call him Doctor _____ instead
5. Wouldn't it be interesting if Kenneth and Tavia got together instead? lol

I think that's about it for now...I'll obviously continue to watch it because I still have hopes for the latter episodes...and I'll probably write another blog about it once I get a chance to finish it.

Tell me what your thoughts are of MOL at the moment!

oh, and stick around...in a few days I will be updating my fanfics...as well as something special!

Randomness...OUT!!!

In the Eyes of Randomness

Ok...I know this post is a totally random one that I didn't even expect myself to put up...but I had to. As I was reading through my biochem textbook and got bored...I started to browse the internet for something that might interest me. And that was when I saw it...I don't know about you...but for some VERY VERY odd reason this reminds me of Twilight. If you've been reading my blog and saw my vlog you would know I'm not much of a Twilight fan...but that's besides the point. So...tell me what you think of this poster...does it remind you of Twilight? New Moon? Or...am I totally bored from reading biochem and making weird connections?

Side note: I'm not exactly looking forward to this series, I definitely don't have high expectations for it even though it has quite the outstanding cast. I do hope that it will be an enjoyable series and not another hyped up flop.

Tell me what you think!

An Overdue Review: The Gem of Life

It's been a while since I updated this blog...and I guess to start with all the upcoming updates...it will be a review of the series The Gem of Life. Why not Moonlight...just because it's not the right time...

I've been watching TVB series since I was born...and what appeals to me most is not just the hype TVB gives any series but rather the familiar faces. When I heard about The Gem of Life I was very excited for its cast consisted of people who were so familiar to me. Not only that, but individually (the majority of the cast) their acting had always met or exceeded my expectations. I was excited and heavily anticipated for the release of this very long series.

A lot of people gave up half way through the series saying how the storyline was a drag, it was too long, they ran out ideas and whatnot. However, I managed to finish watching the entire series...yes...that's right...I endured it all. After watching the entire series I was a tad bit disappointed with a variety of things. But...let's not talk about my disappointment...well...I'll save that for the end. So...let me get started with the actual review...

The storyline was not that exciting...well...actually it's more like the MAIN storyline was not that exciting. The entire series like most people already know about is about three sisters...their lives, whether it was love life, work life...it was about them...everything revolved around them. The three sisters represented three different characters...were they totally different? Well...not exactly if you over analyze everything like I do.

The eldest sister was Sylvia played by the one and only Maggie Siu. Sylvia is the independent stubborn workaholic type who seems to care more about her career and her own dignity above all else. Her character seemed to not get along with Louise's character...not because they're completely different people...but because Sylvia is exactly like her mother.


The middle daughter was Constance played by the now retired Gigi Lai. Constance is a rather ridiculously naive character...who seems to be the peace maker ALL the time...and is the "good guy." To me Constance was a very emotional person who would let her emotions drive her...making her a bit stubborn, a bit determined...but generally speaking...very gullible. This is why even though she is not the youngest, she is the one that her parents are most worried about.


The youngest daughter was Jessica played by Ada Choi. Jessica was a very determined character...and very stubborn as well. Money is what drives her...and money is what guides her. That is why she married a man who she thought would bring her happiness through being successful in the business realm...but she was wrong. Later on when she married Elliot's character...she eventually learned that money isn't...well...not exactly...everything.

So...those are the three main characters. This entire series was very much female dominant...just like a lot of the more recent TVB series...I think. Um...so...with a large female cast, with great acting abilities...I can't forget about their male counterparts. Funny enough each of the sister has 2 men by their sides...whether it is a normal relationship or a romantic one...that was the case.

Maggie had Kenny and Bowie, Gigi had Eddie and Moses, Ada had Wong He and Elliot. Relationship wise, my personal favourite was Maggie and Bowie. I thought they had great chemistry...and...they were the most entertaining to watch. Gigi's relationship with Moses was very much unrealistic and boring to watch...from around the middle to the end of the whole thing. Ada had great chemistry with Elliot and from the beginning as the viewers we all knew how Wong He would never be the one for Ada...even though he would try and work very hard to be the right guy for her.

On a side note...I found Linda's character in this series to be very fascinating...and I didn't understand why and how she started to like Bosco at the end. It didn't make sense to me...I thought she was in love with Wong He...and personally I thought they would've made a nice couple...even though everyone else thinks their relationship was more a brother-sister thing. I can't wait to watch the series with Wong He and Linda...lol.

Back to my review:

A character I loved...other than Linda's lol...was Louise. She acts so well...especially when she had Alzheimer it was amazingly well acted. Though, at first you'd probably despise her character. What type of mother would teach their daughters to marry rich instead of work hard to earn a decent respectable living? But overtime you start to understand her more...and then you grow to love her character...especially when she started to change for the better. And how hard she tried to bring her family together again...it was very touching and somewhat emotional.

So...here's a quick summary of my true thoughts on the series

The Good: the cast...absolutely grand and fabulous with everyone's (or almost everyone's) acting up to par

The Bad: The length of the series was ridiculous...

The Useless: Once again...I found Bosco's character to be quite useless...I don't dislike Bosco as an actor...in fact I like him...but it's just that his character was just useless...there was no need to make him 'stick' out...and his so called feelings for Elise (Linda's character) was so fake and unrealistic...and how she fell in love with him was also absolutely ridiculous...

Conclusion: Do watch if you have plenty of time to spare...if you have little time...watch something else...but...I did enjoy this series...but would never rewatch it entirely for I have things to do ^_^


I know this is a horrible review (on my part) but I can't seem to organize my thoughts for this review...I think from now on I'll write my reviews in a more organized way...unlike this thing

That's a Wrap!

What a year 2008 was...I’m in total shock that it’s over...

For me 2008 was a year of change, moving forward from high school where I could sleep in class but barely did, to university where I shouldn’t sleep in class but did. University has been tougher than I had originally expected...and thus, it took away my time for writing fanfics and updating my blog.

In the year 2008 I watched 10 out of the 26 TVB series that was released...and I’m still watching Gem of Life...a series that is a bit older for me to watch...but still very watchable nonetheless. After being a TVB fan for so long, I thought I should explore what other types of dramas had to offer. So, 2008 became my year of exploration, watching both Japanese and Korean dramas. And I was amazed...by the difference in the storyline they had compared to TVB’s.

But TVB did end up offering quite a number of high quality dramas this year...I was shockingly pleased with quite a few of these dramas. Well, most of them didn’t satisfy me in every way possible, but the drama did its job as a whole...to entertain. I think the drama that I actually liked the most out of all the dramas I watched this year...was in fact not a TVB drama/series. It’s sad to say that the one drama I enjoyed most...was in fact a Korean drama entitled World Within or something along those lines.

TVB dramas may be something I watched since probably when I was born...but over the years the realization that a lot of what it has to offer is more idealistic or extremely unrealistic just loses my interest. TVB has produced several dramas that deal with the day to day lives of families...the inner struggle and all...but fails to do something...something that...the Korean drama I found myself enjoying actually displayed.

Anyways, back to TVB...I did enjoy quite a few of the series they had produced this year like Catch Me Now, My Class or Yours, The Four, and A Journey Called Life. Yes, those series only had about 20 or so episodes...and I found myself not losing interest. You may say that these four series are not memorable, and I would not argue that point with you for the fact that I agree that they are not memorable..

but sometimes I watch certain series for the sake of entertainment...and these four series served its purpose. And plus I’ve learned quite a few interesting things from two of the four above mentioned series...

Of course there were disappointments this year as well...like all of the sequels. Yes, some of the sequels had higher ratings than their prequels or supposed prequels (cough, moonlight, cough). But the saddening part is those series tried too hard...

Let’s take an example from Moonlight Resonance...it achieved a remarkable high rating, it took home several awards yet I didn’t find myself loving it at all. In fact, the only characters I enjoyed watching from Moonlight were Ha Yu’s, Moses’, Susanna’s, Tavia’s and Michelle’s. Those five people stole the show for me. Their acting was up to par...or met my expectations, and their characters were very likable in a more realistic manner...compared to characters like Raymond’s, Linda’s and Bosco’s, which were horrific. I must apologize to fans of Raymond before continuing this blog...for I hated his role with a passion. His role resembled Moses’ role from Heart of Greed...but Raymond’s role was ridiculous. How could there possibly be such a nice guy like that...actually it is NOT possible. Raymond’s portrayal of the character made him look stupid, naive and in a way made it seem like he was too good to be true. Moses’ character in Heart of Greed on the other hand, was a nice guy as well...but more realistic...since he had fantasized about being with Linda’s character...which makes it seem very logical. It’s a shame that TVB tried so hard to make Raymond’s character likable, that it backfired and made me hate his character SO VERY MUCH!

Ah...I’ll continue this rant later in the year when I actually decide to write reviews on the TVB series I’ve watched in 2008...or at least a few of them.

Moving on to 2009, what will I do?

First off, I’ll finish my Christmas Special, and then I’ll finish Tired of Being Sorry...which was supposed to be finished eons ago. That would leave me with A Truthful Lie and the fanfic that is on and off of hiatus, Take 2. Hopefully, I won’t randomly decide to start another fanfic before I finish A Truthful Lie...which I hope will become a tear jerker...lol

As for TVB series...my plan is to watch a couple of the sequels, any series with Tavia or Ron or Bobby or Jessica in them, the grand production with Gallen, and the series with Nick Cheung.

Lately, I’ve been sick of seeing Raymond and Bosco on my computer screen/TV...and the good news is, apparently Raymond only has one series next year...which I might consider watching, if it’s a modern one. As for Bosco...TVB should just stop giving him roles that make him look like a useless human being in the series. I know my words are a bit harsh, but hey, it’s not like I’m criticizing his acting or anything. I just find his recent roles useless...but on a good note...I do enjoy listening to one of his songs, which I don’t remember the title of. Oh well.

Also...I will...continue to watch The Gem of Life until the very end...I will be patient with it and let it grow on me because I do find it a bit interesting lol

Well...

I wish everyone a year filled with joy, laughter, good health and good luck!

As you have noticed, I have not updated my fanfics or this blog lately. The reason is due to being occupied with so many other things. Yes, I've stated many many times how this is my first year of university and so time management might become an issue with me...so I can only ask you as my readers, as my supporters and I know this might sound sort of weird, but as my virtual friends, to be a little patient with me. I might not update once a week or even once every two weeks but I will update, as long as you continue to support me.

They say first year of university is quite a big change from highschool and I have to say I do agree with what they say. University is different, it's bigger, there's more people and you have to walk a lot more to get to classes. Luckily, I'm staying on residence, which makes the amount of time I take to transport myself to class less. I do like staying on residence, but sometimes I do miss my bed at home, I miss my little sister refusing to go to bed because I'm still awake working away on my fanfics and telling my mom that I'm doing my homework. And of course I just miss my family as a whole, but I guess it's time for me to grow up.

Life is like a blank notebook, I know that comparison has been used quite often, but I'll use that again. At first you're the blank page, not knowing anything, but as time goes by, your story is written in it, memories; the good and the bad, the people you meet; the friends you make and the life lessons you learn. I'm not a fan of keeping a diary and I have never kept a diary...but I do remember each and every event that I have been through and it's funny when I think about the past. When I turn back to the pages of my notebook that is securely left in my head, I can say that I've lived...and most importantly, I'm still living. I'm doing the things I like, and I'm enjoying myself.

If you are not in university or college and would like to actually find out more about how it's like you can definitely leave a comment and I'll be glad to tell you about my first two weeks here. =D

Now...onto another subject.

I really have to say thank you to everyone who's been commenting and asking about how's school going and everything for me. I really feel 'loved' and so I really need to say thank you to all of you...without your support I don't know if I would've been able to make it through the two years of writing fanfics. At the back of my mind I will always be reminded that I'm a very lucky person...not only do I have a family that loves and supports me, but I also have many people who support me online as well...Thank You.

My fanfics are coming along just fine...and you'll be seeing an update very soon...as soon as I finish typing/editing the chapter. I'm no perfectionist, but I don't want my ideas to be conveyed the wrong way...I really want you to read/imagine what I've envisioned lol...

So...last week I updated Tired of Being Sorry...and I did not get a chance to update A Truthful Lie as of yet...but don't you worry I will update that this week.

A general announcement that I'd like to make is that if I ever update my fanfics i will do so either on a Tuesday night or a Friday night depending on my workload. As for this week you can definitely find A Truthful Lie being updated sometime tomorrow evening and I do hope you will enjoy it.

Also...I think I'll write a series review for Moonlight Resonance once I'm done watching it! and if I have time lol...

There are only a few weeks left until summer break is over, and then it's back to school for me. Well, technically it's not 'back to school' since this will be my first year of university, something that I've always looked forward to. I guess I'm feeling a bit confused at the moment since I really don't know how exactly I feel about going to university. There are just so many things to do at the moment that I feel as though I'm busier than when I was in school. They say that summer is meant for relaxing, but I've noticed that over the past couple of years my summers have been more stressful.

Maybe I'm getting a bit older, maybe I have more things on my mind or maybe...I've lost that enjoyment I once had for summer break. This summer has been the most uninteresting out of all summers, it seems as though the only thing that is occupying me is planning for university and piano...and of course as a hobby writing fanfics. But really...I want to do the things I've done in the past when I was little. Spending those carefree hours outdoors with my family, flying kites, having a picnic, bike rides, tennis...the normal things I would do. I really hope that by the end of August I'll be able to do those things...even skipping rocks would make my summer a bit more 'fun.'

Speaking of 'fun,' I've written a song that is completely childish humour, so if you would like to listen to it, please don't complain about the content or be offended by it in any way shape or form...this is completely for the sake of entertainment.

Alright...I've been working on a song for A Truthful Lie...it's actually the subtheme...but I'm having some difficulty recording it so...if you'd like to hear it, it should be available in 2 weeks for next week I will restrain myself from the computer altogether to prepare for my piano exam...something has been delayed for quite a while now. I'm really excited about it for it is the main thing that is holding my summer back, yet it's one of my greatest hobbies and I think when I play it makes me feel great. And it allows me to really express myself, just like any other form of art...

Speaking of which, I should be updating Tired of Being Sorry...tomorrow since I don't want to delay it's update any further. Tomorrow's update will end with a poem that I've written months before and it fits perfectly into the chapter, and you will see why.

So...keep a close eye out for it...

Question: Have you been watching the Olympics lately?

NEW FANFIC!!!

Alright...So...

How has everyone been doing? Hmm...let's see...Tired of Being Sorry will end by August...and if you remember, I've mentioned multiple times about a new fanfic...so...here is my MV for my newest fanfic and most importantly the song that you hear in the background is not only written by me but also sung by me. I know...my voice is not that great...but whatever...it was fun. =D

*The recording is a bit bad...since I'm an amateur but...hopefully you'll enjoy it.*





So now you know the main characters in my newest fanfic...well then...I'll let you know when the foreword will be up...and so on.

It's almost the end of the week...tomorrow is prom...then...BAM! EXAMS...

Anywho...school has been getting on my nerves lately. Let's see why...

Well... We had a 'celebration assembly' and I felt that it was so wrong. Wrong in the sense that this celebration assembly was supposed to be on Asian Heritage. Asian, that must be all of Asia. So...that should include ALL the countries in Asia, if I'm not mistaken. But...it didn't include all of Asia...hmmm...let's see...it actually left OUT the majority of Asia. And can we all guess which Asians did this assembly NOT leave out? I'll give you a hint, stereotypically speaking they are 'brown.' I didn't want to be racist and actually put it NOT in quotations. So anyways...they didn't leave out countries like Pakistan and India, no...of course not. Not when the chair of the parent council who 'decided' to have the assembly is from one of those countries. Hmm...what does this leave me to say? It leaves me to say that it was a racist assembly. That's right, plain RACIST. I would NOT have said it was racist if, they wanted to celebrate Indian and Pakistan Heritage, no because it is what it is. But it was Asian Heritage, and to say Asian Heritage is just Indian and Pakistan Heritage is racist. It's like saying all Canadians are white. It's the same concept and that concept is WRONG. How can people not see how this is just NOT right? How do people fail to see that we just went against our own Canadian charter by administrating such an event. How is it fair to other Asian people from other Asian countries? IT IS NOT FAIR!!! I felt cheated of and lied to. This was the first year my school has done an assembly like this, and what happens, more than half of Asia is NOT included.

Speaking of Asia...let's go to something else before I continue to rant on about how I dislike my school for being racist.

The earthquake in China and its territories have killed so many innocent lives that I feel that my school should have gone over that, and have a little memorial thing for those people. But...half of my school consists of 'brown' people, and about a third is 'black' people. Why would they even bother with such a thing. And it makes me feel so horrible, even though I'm not chinese. Teachers always tell us to read the news and pay attention to things internationally, thus, they still were able to not do anything that is so significant like a mini memorial for the thousands of lives that were recently lost. What a shame.

Anyways...moving away from such a depressing thing, I recently finished the TVB series Catch Me Now. For a series that I never intended to watch, it was quite entertaining. The 21st century robin hood thing really works. I totally agree with his character when he says how some bad guys can't be punished by the laws, and thus, he needs to punish them using extraordinary means. This is totally true, we all know it. The law is there, but it can only do so much. Justice may or may not be served, but in the series it really shows you how there are different means to serving justice, the legal and illegal way. Overall I really enjoyed it, very interesting.

Now...my fanfics....Tired of Being Sorry should be updated this weekend...since I always have ideas for it. As for Take 2, I seem to be having issues finding a way to continue it, maybe I really lost that inspiration I once had for it. I don't really know. Recently I've been working on an opening theme for my new fanfic that should be coming this summer...I'm having difficulty giving the newest fanfic a title, thus, it's difficult to write the lyrics to the song. I think this fanfic will be amusing...and dramatic...and I'll leave it at that. lol

I'm tired, restless, and I have a calculus quiz on Prom day...I think I should study...well...that's all folks.

People say a lot of things, like opportunities don't come to you, so you should grab any opportunity that passes you by. People also say that you should dream big...thus, people say a lot of things. It's funny how my life does not really reflect what people say. The greatest opportunities were always given to me, I never had to really grab it or take a hold of it. It somehow came waltzing by and took a hold of me. So...I continued to think that everything would be 'spoon fed' to me by someone...though, I don't really know who. Now that I'm in grade 12 the final year of high school...I realized that if I wanted something I should go for it. Grab it by its tail and not let it go. So I grabbed, and I missed. How funny it is to think that people say that you should grab the opportunities that come by you, when that doesn't seem to be working for me at all.

I wanted to get into this program in university, first thinking that it would just give my ego another boost, I applied. When I found out what the program was really able to give me, I wanted it...and tried to do as much as I could possibly do to get in. My efforts were wasted, I got rejected. I faced rejection with a laugh and moved on with my life. I applied for a scholarship, I thought that I would get it, just because I have a huge ego and I did a lot of extracurricular activities, but...I didn't. Opportunities seem to be just slipping away from my grasp one by one. Then, valedictorian...it's funny how...it was one of the few things that I ever wanted to do in high school. I thought it would be a true democratic system where who wanted to run would run, but it wasn't. It was a popularity contest, and the funny part is, only half of the graduates were aware of this popularity contest, which caused me to not get what I wanted.

One by one, opportunities are waltzing by, I try to grab a hold of them and they seem to just slip away, further and further away from me. Today we voted for the valedictorian, I sat there and listened. There was nothing that I could've done. Nothing. Why wasn't I up there? I asked myself, was it that I wasn't qualified enough? Was it that I'm not popular enough? Was it because I can't seem to represent my peers? I personally don't think so. I actually think that I would've been a much better valedictorian candidate than both of the people on stage. But what can I do? Nothing. I guess it's fate...that I can't get what I want....when I actually really want it.

It's funny how i always get things that I never truly want, and end up really liking it. I never really wanted to join any sports team...I ended up playing on multiple teams. I never wanted to do any extracurricular activities, I ended up being in almost all of them. I never intended to be in the student council, I ended up being president. But when I wanted to be valedictorian, I didn't get it. When I wanted that scholarship and to get into that program, I didn't get it. Does it mean that I should just want nothing in life and in return get everything? How does that make any sense? Why is it that when I want something so badly, I can never seem to get it? Why is it that nothing ever goes the way I planned it to go...how am I supposed to think of my future when already the events that take in my life just happens spontaneously.

I'm so confused, so upset, I feel like I'm being toyed with, yet I can't seem to do anything. Everytime I want to speak out, they say I'm complaining, everytime I want to take action, they call me a rebel. What am I supposed to do? Sit and stare at a wall? I'm tired of being seen as a lucky person, for having all that I have today, I'm sick and tired of being looked down upon because they assume I have connections to get my way through life when I don't. Half of the things I've ever done is because I did it at the spur of the moment. I guess I'll always be a spontaneous person, whatever happens will happen.

I never get what I want...nor do I get what I need...I just get things...that I would never think I could get.

My life sounds so very odd...what about yours?

Oops...

Howdy folks...

Ok...so my week was busy/is busy. I'll give you a run through of my week...

Monday: Bio presentation
Tuesday: Calculus and Physics Test (I think I failed the calc one)
Wednesday: Badminton Regionals (came in 4th place...booo)
Thursday: Reel Canada film fest (walking around, still exhausted from Wednesday)
Friday: Helping out with the ball hockey tournament

As you can see...my week was quite unpleasant. With that being said...I still managed to update Take 2 just because it has been quite some time since I last updated it. As for Tired of Being Sorry...I'm sorry to say that the update might be pushed until the actual weekend, meaning Saturday or Sunday. Right now, my legs are tired and probably have so much lactic acid built up because of the badminton regionals yesterday and my right hand shakes whenever I do too much work. This means that, typing this up is already a huge problem...I can't imagine how I would be able to type up like a 7 page word document for the next chapter.

Anywho...

It's been a while since my last update. So...as one can tell from my banner, I've watched The Seventh Day, it's much better than I expected...(I had zero expectation for it). I also finished WOIL2, I started Wasabi Mon Amour...but gave up on it...since it was just not my cup of tea. I also started to watch The Gentle Crackdown 2...and gave up on it since it was quite ridiculous. Even if it had 2 of my many favourite actors...it was just not my cup of tea. So...I thought I'd give DIE a try...even though the storyline is obviously fake, and the way they solve the cases seem extremely unreasonable and unrealistic...it's quite entertaining...and Sonija Kwok is starting to grow on me. I find her acting acceptable now...and her bickering scenes with Roger was great to watch. Hmmm...as for Tai Chi...i haven't had the time to give it 100% of my utmost attention so I thought I'd save that series until I have the time to watch it. A series that seems to attract me is the one with the marathon with Steven and Linda. I haven't seen Linda in a while...and i sorta miss watching her act...kinda weird. But it's true. I'm really becoming bored/tired of watching the same people over and over again.

What else is there...

Right...so as some people might know...I'm in my last year of highschool...glazing over the classes and trying to maintain a decent average with all the extra curricular things I do. When I say a decent average I do mean a 90. I really hate this feeling of anxiety that I'm getting cause the university that I want to go to won't reply until early May...just because they need to see 6 marks...in order to calculate the average. Since their minimum requirement for the program is a 90 average...grrr. So i'm praying that I'd get in...especially when I know that there are only 160 spots available and their pool of applicants this year is close to 6000. Imagine that...or actually calculate that! The chances are quite slim...but I'm hoping and praying.

The last thing I'd like to mention is about my fanfics. Tired of Being Sorry has been going on for a while now and I really enjoy writing it. I have so much to say and to respond to the comments...but I really don't have the time yet. I do know that I will probably have a nice entry on this blog in a couple of days to just reply to comments and give the readers a heads up. My other fanfic Take 2 has been on hiatus...and I'm considering to start it up again...continue where I left off...if I do...the next chapter will be quite sad...but I feel that it would be the most emotionally moving chapter that I would write. I'm really looking forward to it too. Now...I have a very big announcement to make regarding this summer...but that will be part of a later post.

So...this post is to give everyone who ever visits my blog a lil heads up to the upcoming entries that I'll have.

That's all folks.

I finally finished all of my school exams about two days ago. I tried to not think about my exams...but couldn't help myself. Then the moment of truth came when I realized the many stupid little mistakes that I made and thought to myself 'why didn't i see that before?' It all came at that moment, that moment of realization...grrr...

Have you ever had those? You know...that moment when you couldn't think of the right words to say, or the right thing to write down...or the right thing to do. And then, hours, days maybe months later it comes to you. OUT OF NO WHERE! It's that moment when you decided to think about that thing whatever it was...and the answer just pops in your head like it was there all along waiting, just waiting for that moment when your mind someone wandered upon it.

But now I can't do much...the past is the past...I can only hope that I did well...and move on. A new semester will be starting...and I better be prepared. Two science and a math doesn't sound too fun...but it'll all be over soon enough...then it's the next part of life. The next chapter...university.


~sigh~

Now moving onto another topic.

So...I've been watching WOIL2 and SL2. I expected nothing from both series since I didn't really enjoy WOIL to begin with...and most of the cast from SL seemed to have disappeared. It's really sad how TVB wants to make a sequel for SL, yet it's a completely new cast with exceptions to Sammul of course. What I found to be very odd was Kenneth Ma's role as the new lead in SL2. He was the pervert in SL with the fetish for ripped/torn pantyhose...yet he's a lawyer in this one? I'm not saying I'm not enjoying his character...but TVB could've done better with someone else. As for WOIL2, for some very odd reason, Myolie's role reminds me of her role in GA, honestly, maybe it's those random day dreams that she has in this series, or the over exaggerated looks that she gives which really resembled her character in GA.

Speaking of both series...their theme songs are...below average. Kenneth butchered the theme song to SL2. And the sub theme for WOIL2 with Myolie and that Vincent guy is not that great...I actually prefer the sub theme with Myolie and Bosco...and of course Bosco's singing isn't considered anywhere close to being the greatest. That really says something lol

So far this year...there hasn't been a single series that is really worth watching...it's really a pity...but then again there are series that I am looking forward to like The Four...I haven't seen a wuxia series in ages and it's really killing me...I really hope that it'll be decent and half memorable...though...I don't like Kenneth.

There's something about him that I just can't seem to like. He's a bit old, but age doesn't matter, since I loved Damian in DOL. He's not that good-looking, but looks shouldn't matter, Bobby isn't handsome, but he's amazing. He's not charming? Well I don't really know the reason. Maybe I should give him time to 'grow' on me.

You know...there will always be actors or actresses that you don't seem to like and will never know the reason why...and for me...Kenneth Ma is one of them.

MY INTRODUCTION


I doubt anyone would ever come across my blog...but if you happen to read this then I welcome you to my very random world.

First off...I am a TVB fan, I've been watching TVB series ever since I was young and I have to admit they are very entertaining...even though some are quite boring I always find a way to make them entertaining by laughing at what isn't suppose to be laughed at. For example in a very sad scene when the artist is trying to convey their emotions through tears and no tears are able to come out...that very scene has become the highlight of the series for my purpose of entertainment. Simply enough, I'm a TVB fan.

I'd probably keep my blogs short and sweet (less of the sweet part) and I'll include:

• random thoughts on TVB series
• random thoughts on fanfics
• rants
• and some other random things

Just because I'm sort of a random person...let's just say some of the things I might be writing in here will be somewhat random =D
