this is really ironic. since my last blog post was about.. but hai. metamorphosis. is good. at least episode 1 made me want to watch episode 2 and episode 2 made me.. and on. im now at episode 4 already. and there are only 20. yes. good.

at least the drama does not fulfil criteria 1, 3, 4, 7 and 10 of my previous blog post. haha. finally a drama that is funny (no they do not throw mops at each other) and the characters are not just 'he is the beng one'.

i like how they named the character. DiLun i presume they are thinking of ti lung. hu xicun(希存) as in hope still exist because he heads dragontooth. ouyang li because he is the rash one. and now i finally understands why xicun is the character with specs. glasses on he is the good forensic pathologist, glasses off leader of terrorist group dragontooth.

best drama in 2007. quoting the producer who went up to get the award '正義是存在的'. (urgh. stupid nonya.)


正義!! speak mandarin campagin hor. really. is not working. our friend from taiwan/hongkong has 懒音. we have ignore all 'g's and 'h's 音.

1. they shoot in studio. the problem lies with the rigid looking hdb flats with glaring pink/orange walls and ugly plastic flowers as decorations. and the ever so well lit living room.

2. the 1000 subplots they have despite the not so clear main plot.

3. the characters are as 2D as paper. she is the bitchy one. he is the kiasu one. period.

4. they wear stuff we will never ever wear in real life. ugly flowerly top and faded jeans berms which are most likely passed down from the previous century.

5. the actors speak like they are reciting a poem. esp when they are agitated.

6. there are only 2 type of people. those who live in semi-d and those in 1-room flat.

7. it is never funny. and their idea of humor includes throwing a mop at another person.

8. the theme song is by jeff wang, daren tan or chew sin huey. 新加坡沒有人啊？

9. the most common line is '你是不會了解的'.

10. okay. just stop the collaborations.


now i know why they called the 90s as the golden age of tv during the 45th gala. it is.. rather true. anw sebastian tan sang this. yay.

mediacorp keeps all its gems after the news at night. was still mugging (i have not much time) and my sister came home last night before she switched on the tv. which was then i realised i have just missed metamorphosis and they are already showing the drug trafficking show. channel5 was showing survivor and before i knew they were showing season 2 finale episode of a show which i have only watched till season1 episode 3.

and of all things to talk about.. hallucination? haha. was reading about dreaming some time ago and how to identify that u are dreaming. and yet everytime when i dream, no matter how ridiculously ridiculous the situation is i will still believe it is real.

but that episode reminded me of kristiechen and all the afternoons with her and P4C. she showed us the matrix one session and made us proof why we exist and all is not a dream, a hallucination or a bunch of aliens controlling us. that was the week when i could not write anything into that tiny notebook because i really could not proof why we exist. and the (sort of) answer she gave was 'i think therefore i am'. hmm. is that really a good answer?

and of course i had a really weird dream this morning. hai. i am still feeling disorientated. no more midnight tv.


Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)
百分百聽證會：唐禹哲 (from 0:34 onwards. wa. haha. so everyone loves daniel chan. i think everyone in spore will at least know 心有獨鍾. what show was it for again? i was a daniel chan fan too. haha. he converted me from a perfect10 kid can.)

cannot. must put at least 1 daniel chan mv on my blog. haha.

i have to agree that once exam nears, we start to develop strange habits and to do seemingly fj(犯奸) things; when obviously we should be utilising every second of our reading week cramming everything into our little heads.

last sem it was forensic heroes and this sem e.u. okay la. i am very guilty la. haha. but how. that day was mugging in engin, and there was this guy who was watching the tuition show on his ipod touch. see. not me only.

so e.u. is like every single mafia movie i have ever watched crammed into one tvb drama. at first the drug factory part, i was like 'oh. so protege'. then came the part where everyone was fighting to be the 話事人, 'oh. so election'. and then with kathy chow 'oh. so ah sou'. and they have michael tse in their cast, 'wa. young and dangerous ah'. but of course once the undercover cop part starts 'okay. infernal affairs'.



im now only at episode 16. but hai. the whole rave about laughing, now i sort of know how it will end. actually i think if u watched closely enough, from around episode 3 or 4, you can sort of guess laughing's identity. esp when he was very eager to want to go into the drug dealing side. but michael tse's character really grows into you. at first he is just that very talkative guy. but wa, he is the one with the most depth.

and e.u. has the highest paying calefares i guess. haha.


fred cheng the calefare.


oscar leung the calefare.


this one is the best. can u spot charles szeto? haha. the 2 above at least has maybe 7 lines. he is a vase.


who is this ah. so familiar looking.



hahahahaaa. 爱拼才会赢.


sammul looks very different but i just cant put my finger to it. now i know (thanks iweekly!!), he ate too much btw season 2 and season 3. haha.


love all the interactions between ron ng and michael tse. and how they are always 話中有話-ing in the leonlai-tonyleung-"i recognise you. be careful" fashion.


on the other hand, despite the little-nonya-is-so-going-to-win-everything-boring part of star awards, there is at least something i feel is fair about this year's star award. keke won green apple!! yay yay yay. haha. okay. sat. let's see what jeanette aw's gonna say if she wins. and what she says if she doesnt. har. maybe we should have a 歐宣下年又係你~ too.

ever recognised someone from their bag?

怖いなぁ。。

Pokka cappuccino anyone?

L: Back to your film and the process - Kelvin Tong wrote the script? How is it like working with him for your own short film, do you feel influenced?
K: He is more like a mentor to me. He tries not to influence my decisions so that the film will be more a Kat Goh film and not a Kelvin Tong film. But he gives me a lot of suggestions in the editing stage to make it more pacy.
L: So... no ghosts in this one?
K: LOL No.
L: No twist?
K: No it is not a thriller. It's not an arty, moody, angsty type of film.
L: No Benjamin Heng?
from SINdie.

hahahahhaaaa. i love the last line. my favourite lao-sai from men in white.


2:02 to 3:30.

have u ever disliked someone so much but u cant point why u dislike this person? recently i have. and it's troubling me. because i cant think of a reason why i am disliking this person so much. it's so intangibly intangible that it amazes me. i just have this strong anger in me whenever this person does something (esp if it concerns me) but i just cant pinpoint to where my anger come from.

it must the aries in me. i've been pushing this side of me down but i am still quite intolerant to inefficiency and slow people and people who dont know what they are doing. along with others: those who talk like sai, those who try too hard, those who are too LBL... but like any other aries i will forget abt this 15min later and am glad that how wonderful this world is.

then why do i dislike this person so much?

stupid? seriously lacking in analytical skills? got not enough RAM?

hmm.


hahahahaaa. this is rather entertaining. watching this reminds me of the time when ella said alex to's dad is from Pingtung. felicia u must watch this!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Singapore
wiki gives a very different approach to this issue. u should know where to scroll to la.

first thing. film camp is back!! go to http://nustudios.org/filmcamp/ and see see look look.

so today marks the last day of school of sem4 for me. for this sem break, i will become a NISSU, not in internship, special sem, summer programme or anything useful. anyone care to join me? cos the more i think abt this the more guilty i get.


wa. their hair.. a bit nice hor. first,toma's. why is it kimutaku hair again? this is the N time someone is perming this hair. getting boring. and masha's still very long hair. haha. and recently (these 1,2 years) masha has been looking very old. maybe he stopped the botox. hmm. but his dressing also got more ah pek.. haha. and how he moves also. hahahaaa. okay. u know.

i knew this song was originally by Momoe Yamaguchi, but only today i know that there's such a video and that she sang it for her farewell concert. coincidence? hmm. omoishiroi.

yesterday evening i went running. haha. for a really lousy reason. i was afraid that with my current eating habits and without exercising, i will need to go for liposuction 5 years down the road. and this run marks my first run after a 6months absence from exercising. okay i do run after buses (A2! A2!) and climb the stairs in the national university of stairs, but my weight is currently at its highest ever since i step foot on this earth.

ahh. this is getting so bimbo talk. okay my point is. i reflected on myself while running yesterday. like how i am after i stop exercising. i think to a certain extend running changed a part of me.

i hated running as a kid. long dist. i sprint. yes. but definitely no 1.6k. and throughout years in disneyland i played basketball, but is those gu niang basketball. run a bit then pass. thirsty drink cold water cooler water. tired then rest.

in jc training is completely different. water during water break only. run like crazy(suicide!!) and i was turning white on the first training. so 2 years i kept running though i hated it. but slowly i could feel that my body is adjusted to long distance. no panting. and i didnt really sweat after 2.4k.

and it is during these 2 years when i was literally at my best. physically and mentally. okay part of me that pushed me to study was because of all the looks i got when i got my O levels(this is such a cruel world. 11 points and even the form teacher shakes her head at you? hai. because 9 out of 10 kids got 10pts and below). but at least i wanted to do something and not rot my days away.

and now that i am not running. i can feel my old self creeping back. and if u feel i changed these 2 days,

that's because i ran.

yesterday i thought of a new film idea. haha. abt how technology was supposed to bring us closer but in the end pulled us even further apart. so the story goes this person one day decided to leave for another country suddenly. but he continues to sms, to blog and to msn. so we see how long the people around him will realise that he is actually gone. hahaha. but to think again, i think this story will just bore everyone to tears.

okay la. my point is. i am very against talking on msn and wasting time on facebook. so if u dont go to school with me, am part of studios with me, it is very likely u havent spoken to me for a long long time. but ironically, the cyber world (plus phone, so it should be technology world) is where i got most of the love from friends.

but i am really thankful for all who decided to waste 10sec of their lives, going to my fb account or to pick up your phone to msg me or to just leave me a tag.

thank you so much.

Chet Lam
Johnson Lee

a proof that yes we are all the artsy people. hahahahaaa. i'm kind of wondering what they are doing now too.

i just love public holidays. because of the typing game, i have gotten a box of tissue paper box beside me again. hai. my immune system. so i guess these 3 days will be great for me to just do what i want, stop my nose from running and to chiong from next monday again.

one week from reading week. and yes. i am fearing. fearing for my grades. i guess as a child i was like jet li's movie, fearless. now to think of it, i didnt know where i had that courage, but i was kind of heck about my grades. but now. the idea of having a low CAP is so intimidating. and no. i do not want to take away. please no.

love guaranteed on channel u wkdays 10pm. but im not really watching. but while watching the finale (on tudou) this line from kenneth ma caught my attention.



ah. classic. but somehow when someone else talks about the bird without a leg, i felt it was never as good as yuddy. u know his i-just-heck-this-world attitude, this line just suits him so well.

Christopher Doyle and 齋滷味~


was talking to eunice abt perfect cut (yes! i convinced yet another person to watch it) and she was commenting on the surgery parts which she will just fast forward because it looked too gruesome. now i know why we are both in engin, not medicine. but while i was watching another series just a while ago, i was covering the screen every now and then too. perfect cut i can take it, but i cannot tahan when i see someone go into seizure, even if it is fake. ahhhhhhhh. the idea of spelling the words out give me the creeps.

this feels like a Revolving Doors of Vengeance meet Drive of Life meet Gem of Life. or simply a very tvb blockbuster kind of storyline. is this supposed to be an angmoh version of The Ultimatum? haha. but i say say say still will watch. cos i think watching patrick teoh will be quite enjoyable.

Japanese Trailer

i kind of want to watch this. haha. maybe not that much because i didnt really like dare mo shiranai and it is during exams. 25 April want to watch also tell me la.

and yes, it reminds me of ozu's tokyo story too.

this is the sort of things i would not have seen given the technology then [i used to be a VHS addict before converting to youtube addict]. hai. i am just so glad youtube exists. but watching youtube videos is like a race against time, before the youtube people realise their existence and take them down.

found this song while filling up my itunes with album art (my new found hobby). 懐かしい~

today at the streaming talk they had this exhibition (i dont know whether they are fyp projects or just those done by the profs themselves) and at the control booth they were showing this video of 2 robots.. popping. hahahahaaaa. yeah. stop popping and let the robots do it, cos what we are doing is only making an axe at lu ban's door.
