It Started With A Kiss

A very big THANK YOU to all the contributors of youtube, I got to watch so many dramas becoz of u ^^.



I remember seeing the word "ISWAK" somewhere and was wondering wat the hell it means...then finally I realised its "It started with a kiss", the title of this Taiwan drama starring Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng. A really sweet show abt a dumb girl's (hmm..a bit harsh lah...shld call her a not so smart girl) pursuit of love and how she chase after a genius boy whom she had 2 years of crush on. Despite how the boy rejected her initially and everyone looked down on her, she persevered and finally won his heart. Of coz there is lots of anecdotes and laughs in the show but I am jus too plain lazy to write abt them...hehe....anyway, a show definitely worth watching....

The show also triggered a lot of thoughts in me. Remember feeling indignant for Ariel at some parts of the show when Joe was being really mean to her but she had persisted on forgiving him and continuing her chase...I kept thinking "Why dun she just give up? Go find some other nicer boys lah."....hmm, I sound like a loser right? Just wana give up when faced with obstacles...but I really cannot justify putting myself out for such humiliation...confessing love to a boy is already like such a tough task...but to confess then be thick skin and stick to the boy no matter how he treats u....sigh! Its either the girl is real stupid (which Ariel's character in the show is) or the girl is real desperate...I wana be viewed as neither. :P

Little BitS Of My Life

Shall treat all of u to little bits of my life for the past few days...

---

I saw a Kwon Sang Woo lookalike on the MRT this morning! My thought process was like - "Wow! That guy looks good...but a bit thin...hmm, OMG! He looks like KSW!!!"...mentally drooling...

Too bad, he was carrying this lady's bag, so that was his gf beside him. Come to think of it, he is not as tall or fit as KSW, just the facial resemblance...ok, no loss! Keke...

My colleague shared her experience of getting a drink from Banquet one night. After finishing the first drink, she bought another (from elsewhere I think) and decided to transfer the ice from the first cup to the next, only to find to her HORROR - A COCKROACH mixed in the ice!!! Ewwww...I dun blame her for puking later on...its really gross. Reminded me of another time when I went to another Banquet food court and was buying some Chee Cheong Fan from a stall and saw a cockroach on the wall near the steamer where my Chee Cheong Fan came from @_@ ...I din wana make an issue coz the steamer was not against the wall anyway, so I dismissed it. Then, a customer approached the stall owner with his bowl of sliced fish noodles and complained abt something to the owner. So, the owner simply replied that he will get the customer a fresh bowl of noodles. I was quite irked by tat incident coz I highly suspected the customer found a cockroach or some insect in his noodles...Ewww....wat is happening to the hygiene of places these days?

Been feeling rather lethargic lately. Kinda MISSED some things in my past...

1) the feeling of having someone close to my heart
2) walking along the streets of Perth with that special someone (its a memory I hold dear, so frens, pls dun scold me)
3) exploring the cafes and restaurants in Perth with K and M
4) relaxing at some cafe/fast food joint with K observing passers-by and commenting on their dressing
6) having a drink with A at Marina Mandarin and Fullerton Hotel
7) wasting time with J by going shopping and eating while everyone else is working

I received this interesting email regarding how warm water is beneficial for us...read on ^^

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. This makes sense.. the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!

Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.

Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every heart
attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

Lately I kept asking myself wat sort of a fren I am. Am I a good fren? How do my frens regard me? => Busybody, bothersome, cranking, long-winded, self-centered, arrogant, proud, insensitive, etc??? Of coz I won't list out the possible good qualities here...duh, if its abt good traits, then I wont really be bothered already.

Sometimes, I do wonder to wat extent should frens help each other? Isn't each of us responsible for our own lives and the decisions that we make? Are we obligated to give advice and warnings to our frens no if its needed? And does frens appreciate wat u are trying to do for them?

Ah.....so many ?????????????????????????????

Foxy Lady

I conquered Foxy Lady!!!...Every drama I complete these days seem like a conquest to me. ^^

But think I have finished this show a bit too quickly...couldnt catch the chinese subtitles on certain parts, so I am re-watching the show currently...hehe...



This show is about the love between a woman and her best fren's younger brother who is 9 yrs her junior...quite unbelievable huh?!!! Realised tat Korean dramas these days keep touching on "Jie Di Lian" (relationship between older woman and younger guys)...I still wonder abt the feasibility of such line of thoughts but have to admit that such stories sound real sweet to a fast ageing woman like me. Imagine a 33 yr old woman being fancied by a 24 year old young chap! Keke...kinda like a dream huh :P

As the content of this show seems a little "adult" (not RA lah), since the Female Lead works in a magazine company publishing male focused magazines (pornography), I would not recommend this to younger frens k...so Xiao Meis, dun think abt borrowing this show from me :P

I shall not write more abt the show, just tat its a good show to watch though I dun know the actor and actress in it. The guy is pretty cute but wat stuck to me more is his figure...real nice....drool...hahaha, joking!

Hao Huai Nian O! ~~~

Met up with 2Ks and M (I am not mentioning names coz afraid they mind :P ) on Sat...not seen them for some time le...think I too lazy ba, never bothered to initiate gatherings these days.

Anyway, met up with 2Ks first at Parkway Parade and did a little window shopping. Realised a number of shops have been changed (again it signifies that I have not been out much recently) but they are mostly the typical retail chains. Coz we had too much time on hand before meeting M, we ended up heading for the arcade, Timezone. Wah, such a long time since I have been to the arcade...the games have changed a lot since. In my days, there were games like Time Crisis 2, House of the Dead 2, Metal Slug and Puzzle Bubble...now it is already Time Crisis 4, House of the Dead 4, Metal Slug 4 and Puzzle Bubble is no longer in sight. We ended up playing some stupid games lah...dunno how to play all the new games.

Eating places in Parkway area has also increased. Think Singaporeans are really spoilt for choice...can see restaurants, cafes, fast food, hawkers and eating places at every turn. We ended up going to Siglap to look for nice place to makan...hehe...wonder why we made M come down all the way to Parkway in the first place :P

I have never been to Siglap area to eat. Have only heard from others abt there being cafes there that open till late and offer good food. Lucky 2Ks drove...tats the good thing abt going out with them...free ride to places. Haha...anyway, we had wanted to dine at Lemongrass but settle for Thai Express as the former has no seats for us in the aircon and well...the weather lately can kill...keke...Ok lah, food at Thai Express not bad but I cant really reason going all the way there to eat wat I can find in Kovan :P

Our aftermeal dessert was better. We went to this cafe call "The Cheesecake Cafe", Frankel Estate, 685 East Coast Road, S(459054), Tel: 64487725. I love the setting there...very cool ambience and the place just brings back memories of Perth and our good time there. Why couldnt there be more of such cafes in Singapore? I am not good at describing, so why dont all of u just head down to check out the place. They serve cakes, coffee, tea, alcohol, finger food and other drinks. I feel the food and drinks are so-so lah (average)...but I was more attracted by the ambience and feeling tat the place gives me...had a good time chatting too...such a conducive place to bum ard and do some catching up with frens.

No pics to show coz as u all might have known, I am not a very pic person...so use ur imagination k!

Work Week Cycle

Was conversing with a colleague and realised that I can come up with a lot of excuses for taking the time to relax and not put in 100% effort at work throughout the whole work.

Mon: Monday blues...take it easy
Tue: Trying to get the motor started...slowly does it
Wed: Need some time to catch the work momentum...be cool man
Thu: Cant wait for Friday to be here...lets be lenient to ourselves
Fri: TGIF (Thank God Its Friday)!....relax coz weekend is coming

Woohoo!!!!! Sat and Sun is partying time so we can feel more like working hard during the work week...but of cos when monday comes again, the cycle starts again...Zzzzzzzz

Slow Down Culture

I got this forwarded message thru an email and found it really interesting to share. Sort of agree with the view stated but I think Spore is a long way from achieving this Slow Down Culture...provided that we are even heading towards that culture. From how things are currently, we seems to be chasing the shadows of globalisation. In order to stay competitive, we are trying to be fast and efficient in doing everything...but I wonder if the results and quality of things are thus compromised...

Slow Down Culture

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes
2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.

Globalize processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to possess a
need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate,
hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.

Said in another words:
1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo , a state in Brazil
2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants
3. Stockholm has 500,000 people
4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux , IKEA are some of its renowned companies. Volvo supplies the NASA.

The first time I was in Sweden , one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn't say anything,
either the second or third. One morning I asked, "Do you have a fixed
parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot." To which he replied, "Since we're here early
we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think?" Imagine my face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe named Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing.

Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe , as mentioned by Business Week.

Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness" generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of "having in quantity"(life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the "quality of being". French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity been driven up by 20%.

This slow attitude has brought forth the USA's attention, pupils of the fast and the "do it now!".

This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking
the "now", present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined and anonymous. It means taking human's essential values, the simplicity of living.

It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.

It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence of the spirit.

In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where Al Pacino asks a girl to dance and she replies, "I can't, my boyfriend will be here any minute now". To which Al responds, "A life is lived in an instant". Then, they danced to a tango.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment. As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other
plans".

Congratulations for reading till the end of this message. There are many who will have stopped in the middle so as not to waste time in this globalized
world.

Fei Ni Mo Shu-Ariel Lin

Puzzle solved...this morning, I happened to hear on 93.3FM a dialogue by Tank regarding the song Fei Ni Mo Shu. He is the composer for the song and wrote it for Ariel Lin...so actually Ariel Lin is supposedly the original singer. But Tank said he wanted to put that song into his 2nd album...is his 2nd album out yet?? Ah...I must quickly get hold of his album first...he seems like a great singer!

Anyway, enjoy Ariel Lin's version of the song...

Fei Ni Mo Shu MV-Tank

5th post!...Zzzzzzzz

Ok, @_@ I am going bonkers...just found this Fei Ni Mo Shu MV song by Tank. I remember Ariel Lin sang this song in Tokyo Juliet. Can someone pls tell me who is the original singer for this song? Tank or Ariel? Or maybe Tank wrote this song for Ariel?

Anyway, thumbs up for this song too ^^

Gei Wo Ni De Ai MV-Tank

Woot~! 4th post! :P

Another fantastic song by Tank! When I heard this song on KO One, din know its by Tank...Gosh! It's really amazing that for this song and Zhuan Shu Tian Shi, I fell in love with both songs before I even knew that Tank is the singer! Two thumbs up for him...think I should get his album...

Fei Lun Hai (Fahrenheit)'s Blog

OMG! This is my 3rd post for the day...wow! Goes to show I am really bo liao today... :P

Anyway, I was rather surprised to discover boy band, Fei Lun Hai's blog...maybe its just me being ill-informed but I never tot celebrities would be bothered to keep a blog and update it regularly, which is wat these boys are doing...amazing!

Fahrenheit's Main Blog

Jiro Wang's Blog
Wu Zun's Blog
Calvin Chen's Blog
Arron Yan's Blog

Well, check the blogs out, they are quite professionally done...especially like Jiro's blog...hmm...but then maybe coz I like him the best in Fahrenheit.

Tree In Heaven

Amazed at my ability to watch a few shows at a time...keke...also finished Tree In Heaven last night.

This is a sad show. Had me crying from the first episode to the last (a total of 12 episodes of crying)...ok lah, not those super serious crying lah...just tears dripping every now and then.



This is a sad but beautiful love story abt a pair of siblings (by marriage and totally non blood related) who deeply loved each other but could not confess their love. The society viewed them as siblings and thus their love was not allowed and they were cruelly separated. When they re-united 2 years later, they found out that their parents died of a car accident and the 2 of them were no longer related. However, the brother was working in a secret society and they were again deprived of the peaceful life they yearned.

RATING FOR SHOW: *** (out of 5 stars)

KO One (aka Zhong Ji Yi Ban)

Finally, I have finished the Taiwan drama KO One (aka Zhong Ji Yi Ban)! Was desperately loading Episode 21 on youtube last night and din know that it is actually the last episode...zzzzz...me so blur.



Anyway, the show is great...minus the fact tat I dun think the ending is sufficient. Seems to have a lot of unexplained parts...think they probably leaving a lee-way for the continuation series. Reminds me of Hana-kimi's ending, also crappy. Cant wait for the continuation of both dramas.

Ok, a short write-up on wat is KO One abt. The show focuses on a class of wayward students who were feared by the whole school..the class is call Zhong Ji Yi Ban with their boss/lao da Wang Da Dong (Jiro Wang). He is an accomplished fighter and ranks KO.3 among all the high school fighters. Then Ya Se Wang-KO.3 (Calvin Chen) and Ding Xiao Yu-KO.4 (Arron Yan) transferred into their class and they became close frens. The story goes on tat the 3 of them came up against an evil organization which started the KO Rank for the purpose of cultivating young fighters to dominate the world.

Ya, the story sounds a bit far-fetched but the entertainment value of this show is HIGH!!! Do watch it on youtube if u are free...of coz u can buy the discs too lah, but I have none to lend.

RATING FOR SHOW: **** (out of 5 stars)

Hooked on youtube ^^

I am totally hooked on youtube recently. Ever since watching Hana-kimi on youtube, I have since been following other dramas online too...such as Tokyo Juliet and KO One. KO One aka Zhong Ji Yi Ban is my FAVOURITE now! The show is a bit outrageous and totally fictional, but it makes for great entertainment and laughs. I will blog abt the drama once I complete it...on episode 21 now (really exciting) but dying of the waiting time needed to load the show on youtube. Well, u gain some, u lose some...guess I cant be too critical abt it...it is free viewing....

~~~ Hot Yoga ~~~

Had my very first Yoga class last night! ^^

After contemplating for a very long time whether I shld take up Yoga lesson, I finally got a try when Amrita referred me for a free trial. Yes, I know trials can be irritating coz u know there will definitely be hard selling after ur trial, but my fren and I went mentally prepared. We picked to go for "Hot Yoga" which is the all popular choice now.

Now...abt my first Yoga experience...well, I think I suck at it! The temperature in the room was pretty warm and my sweat was trickling down a few minutes after I entered the room. Halfway thru the class, I had difficulty breathing in there and started to feel dizzy...had to sit down for a couple of positions coz I was afraid I would faint (fainting would have been more humiliating than sitting there and not doing). Thru the 1 hr session, think I sat off nearly 1/2 hr of it :P

My fren fared better, she din go dizzy and was able to complete the whole class. The instructor even helped to adjust her body positions...haha...think he expected too much from beginners like us le.

Was a bit disappointed in myself but comforted by thinking that I shld go for normal beginner classes first and learn postures and breathing before going back to Hot Yoga. Our consultants then chatted with us for a long 2hrs and managed to pursuade us to sign up for a 5mths membership. So...I AM GOING FOR YOGA LESSONS FOR THE NEXT 5 MTHS!!!

Anyway, for all of you who are interested in Yoga, check out True Yoga's Website

Frens, if u wan a free trial lesson, leave me a message and I will refer you to my consultant.

Bizarre - Weird Sightings

One of the weirdest morning I had for a long time. It started off with my discman being spoiled T_T ...or maybe its the batteries...no idea...

Anyway, when I was waiting for bus to the MRT, I saw a lady who was dressed rather shabbily with this highly striking red platform shoes that have heels with floral design. Can u imagine how one's vision will automatically be drawn to the shoes then move up to survey the shabbily dressed owner? Gosh...wat a waste of tat nice looking platform.

Then on the bus, the lady sitting opposite me has this weird dress combination: A floral top, a striped black knee length pants and a burberry shawl. "Too much details" shouts out when u look at her. Talk abt poor dress sense! Dun pple look at the mirror before they go out nowadays?!


Weird Dressing

At the MRT station, I saw another lady with red high heels...dress not shabbily but looks almost like a walking ang bao if not for the black colour on her skirt.

Best to come is this elderly lady who has her hair bun up on her head...and I do mean literally ON her head (not the usual behind the head bun):

Weird Bun

Wats funnier is that her hair is a bit like olive colour (I guess her golden/yellow dye must have faded) but her bun is black!...wat a mismatch....wat was she thinking?! :X

Maybe its coz I wasnt wearing my earphones and blasting music into my ears, I seems to be noticing more pple and things. Even had time to check guys out in the train. Most seems rather earnest and were reading either newspapers or books on the train. Then there was this guy who took out a National Geographics magazine out...sort of jolt my memory regarding a certain someone who loves reading tat magazine. I felt so nostalgic...I miss him...or shld I say the him whom I know...he has changed much...haiz...pple change...

IT Show 2007

Being an almost IT idiot, I was quite impressed with myself for going to the IT Show 2007!

><....ok lah, u are right...I am too lazy to have just up and gone to that show. My bro jio me to go with him. Very nice of him...he even bought me a portable hard disk and a USB adaptor for the lousy laptop at home. So sweet... ^^

Well, nothing much about the IT Show coz I ABSOLUTELY do not understand wat the sales promoters were saying. I think I am just trying not to be squashed the whole time...the place was PACKED!!! Gosh...makes me wonder if tats the only place for pple to go to -_

In the midst of the mess, u will occasionally see kids around and try to prevent urself from banging into them. But I cannot understand those parents who decided to bring their young kids to such shows/exhibits/fairs or watever...whereby they expected a huge crowd...wat do they wana do to their poor kids? Let them be squashed? Let them suffocate in the crowd coz they are heads shorter than us? Let them go missing so u can have less mouth to feed at home? (keke...cold joke...brrr...)

Anyway, before going to the IT Show, my bro treated me dinner at this Swiss Culture Restaurant located in Suntec Tower 1. Though the restaurant does not look impressive...but the food blew me away! ^^ Do try the Swiss Cheese and Mushroom Pasta with Seafood if u go there...I had tat and feel tat thats the best pasta I have ever eaten...yummy! Even win the pastas I ate in Perth (which were good too). My bro had the Veal Mushroom Sausage which comes with some rosti...I am not a fan of rosti and do not particularly favour sausages...so it was ok to me...but my bro seemed to like it anyway. This restaurant is a MUST TRY!

Glam Vs Monotony

I was reading on some frens' profiles in friendster last night and was rather depressed after tat. Its nice to read on frens' latest news and see their new pics...but....cant help feeling quite useless myself.

One of my ex-school fren, P, was previously working in some media company. From her photos, can see tat she seems to be constantly surrounded by limelight and glam. She is tall, pretty, cute, has dimples and is popular. Also heard that she is in no short supply of suitors. Who doesnt envy this kind of life. Then recently saw in her profile that she is in some offshore work and those pics of her and her colleagues...wow! All of them look so glamourous lor!!! Guys are modern and trendy while Girls are pretty, shapely and fashionable. She must earn quite a bit too I guess.

Another fren of mine, K, is a designer. Not personally close to her but heard from another fren that she designs jewellery. Also seen her in magazine shots of her in some function with celebrities and rich pple (chey! who else but rich pple attend this kind of function).

This puts me to thinking that once upon a time, I also worked in the fashion industry and was in touch with certain designers and media pple (minimal contact though). However, I wondered that if I had continued in tat job, maybe I would be able to find a stand in the "glam light" too....or not! Since I am only a small fry there...sigh...

Think the "green eye monster" living inside me is bursting to get out these days (read my "born with a silver spoon" post...)

Reflecting on my life since leaving poly...it was a couple of years of job hopping thru different industries and kinds of jobs...then finally taking up and completed my part-time degree. Working in a contract position for nearing 2 yrs now, hoping to change job soon...but all in all...nothing much achieved! T_T So sad...frens my age seems to be doing so much better than me. My life now is so monotonous...work and home...also not going out much coz wana save $. No achievement to be proud of or brag abt. I feel sooooo....small....

Only consolation is tat, at least I am moving away from the job hopping fate and trying to find my place in life. Maybe my colleague is right, I might be quite career minded (coz I have high cheek bones??)...maybe tats why I feel so useless now... T_T

Draw a House - Personality Test

Got this link from another blogger's website and decided to try the personality test. Pretty fun to draw the house and the details...but not too sure if the test results abt me is correct...wat do u think?

Born with a Silver/Gold Spoon

We often hear the phrase "born with a silver spoon" to describe children born in wealthy families where they need not worry abt their basic needs and many of whom live a luxurious life. Call it jealousy or envy...but sometimes I wonder why life is unfair in this sense.

Recently a fren was telling me abt some fren's fren (yeah...such a distant relation) whose daughter married the son of a certain rich hotel owner in Singapore. The son, whom I will call Ah Sia Kia, is the director (in-name) in a couple of companies but need not actually work at all. All he needs to do is wait for his monthly and yearly director's fees. Although his dad's business is not as big as some others...just a few hotels and commercial buildings...Ah Sia Kia lives a life of luxury. So my fren's fren's fren's daughter who married Ah Sia Kia naturally need not work too. And her main responsibility is to follow her husband everywhere he goes. Of coz must follow lah...so rich, later get snatched how?!!! Keke...

So, while these rich pple put their names in companies as directors/shareholders and need not lift a finger to do any work for the companies, they get paid handsomely. How abt the rest of us who slog day and night for the companies??? We sound rather like the ox who toiled day and night for the farmer while the farmer rest under a tree...all the ox gets after a hard day's work is food, water and shelter...ok, sometimes a bath too :P

See how unfair life is??? ><

Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu (Hana-Kimi)

This is probably the hottest drama showing on TV in Spore and Taiwan currently (personal opinion)...at least for all those who watch Taiwan drama :P

I absolutely love this show! ^^



Starring Ella from girl band-SHE and Wu Zun & Jiro Wang Dong Cheng from boy band-Fei Lun Hai/Fahrenheit. The story goes that Ella (Ruixi) disguised herself as a boy and enters a boys school in order to get to know her idol high jumper, Wu Zun (Quan). However, when she discovered that Quan had given up on high jumping after an accident, she vowed to help him get back to the high jumping arena.

On the other hand, Quan accidentally found out that Ruixi is a girl and was suspicious of her reasons to study in a boys school. As he got to know her better, Quan developed feelings for her and started protecting her to keep her secret safe from the others.

As for Jiro Wang (Xiuyi)...he is the sort of comic relief in this show...keke! I absolutely love his character! Xiuyi liked Ruixi from the first day of school and was like Ruixi's best fren. Though they were close, Xiuyi never suspected that Ruixi is a girl. When Xiuyi's feelings for Ruixi developed further, he started getting confused about his own sexuality in liking his "guy" buddy.

Watch this show to find out wat happened to the 3 of them...this show is DEFINITELY WORTH watching!

RATING FOR SHOW: *****(out of 5 stars)

Jian Dao Shi Tou Bu (A Game About Love)

I think I am in a drama frenzy recently...watch too many shows already lah...wahaha...*going nuts soon*

Here's another Taiwan drama Jian Dao Shi Tou Bu (A Game About Love) starring Sam Wang Shao Wei (183 Club) and Chen Qiao En (Qi Duo Hua/7 Flowers).



Qiao En (Duoli) was an average office lady who have average looks and leads an average life, but she also has an outstanding boyfriend who is a professor. Her world fell apart when her 3 yrs boyfriend broke up with her to travel to US. He said that she is boring and uninteresting and thus wanted to venture for his own adventure.

One day, the heartbroken Duoli was captivated by a piece of exquisite art named "Chu Ye" displayed in an art gallery. She took solace by chatting with Chu Ye and then decided that she had to do something different in her life.

One night while Duoli was doing OT in the office, she saw smoke coming out from the gallery opposite her office and ran to save Chu Ye from the suspected fire. She discovered that there is someone trapped in the gallery and called for help, and she even stayed till help arrived. The 2 trapped man were Sam Wang (Qixiang) and Keluo (I have no idea abt this actor's name). To thank the lady who saved them, Qixiang went in search of her only to find that he had met her in 2 earlier occasions.

Fate has it that this 2 good frens fell for Duoli at the same time while Duoli was still confused abt her own feelings. There are other developments in the story which I think is better through watching the show itself.

It is generally a good show with an interesting plot. The storyline is not boring and luckily not too draggy. Although the front portion of the show is more light hearted, it becomes a bit "heavy" to watch the show towards the middle and end (personal opinion)...maybe I go more for light hearted shows recently. No worries though coz this is not one of those shows that make u cry non-stop.

RATING FOR SHOW: *** (out of 5 stars)

Angel Lover

This Taiwan drama starred Ming Dao who acted as a country bumpkin who went to Taipei to work but only as a kids entertainer. One day, he kindly saved a lady who was attempting suicide and was thus headhunted by the organization called "Angel Lover". The purpose of the organization is to help ladies who have suffered setbacks from failed relationships to find meaning in their lives and the courage to live on.

I feel that this show is a bit too idealistic. Yeah, it has good values and try to guide pple to the right path of thinking. But just seems a little unrealistic. And sadly, MD dun really look good in this show...actually a little ugly at certain angles...hmmm...come to think of it, MD is not the handsome kind, he is supposed to be charming kind but he seems to have lost his charms in this show. A bit disappointed in this show (or maybe I expected too much).
