Rooftop Prince Episode 19 & 20
05.19.12 |Entertainment| Permalink | Comment?

Yes, I am chasing the Rooftop Prince Korean drama and 2 more episodes left. One thing with Korean drama, I have to wait 1 week for 2 episodes. As opposed to TVB Hong Kong drama, it is shown every day except weekends. Note to self, next time I chase any Korean drama, I will make sure the series complete before I start to watch.

Anyway, here is my prediction on what will happen to the ending. I believed the one who died in the pond was Bu Yong. However at the end of Episode 18, Park Ha has save the prince and she was knocked down by the evil Tae Mu. She goes into coma. The prince will go back in time to save Bu Yong from drowning in the pond. Park Ha and the real Tae Yong will wake up from coma, forgetting the past and start a new love. The prince and Bu Yong will also live happily after. Let’s see if my prediction is correct.

By the way, the plot for this drama is good. However a few parts that are unrealistic especially in Episode 18. Why didn’t the prince report Tae Mu/Se Na to the police when they discover the black box? Give him another opportunity to commit crime. Secondly, why did the lawyer have to wait another day for the Will to be final? Just to give Tae Mu another opportunity to get the prince again. Thirdly, the prince sure knows when to disappear from prison and no police go after him when a prisoner has escape. Lastly, Park Ha should have called the prince when she lost her phone to warn him. No, she didn’t and goes right to the spot to be killed. *rolleyes*

Lastly, Yoochun’s expression and acting in this drama is really great!

Music Craze

I know there are some people who are really crazy over music. They like to install really huge and big speakers in the car. Music will be blasted out from their car. I hope they use jensen that are top rated.

If I am driving next to them, I can hear the beat. I wonder how it would sound like if I am in their car. Would it feel like I am in a performance? It keeps me wondering.

Big Screen

Finally I got my new work monitor running at home. When the new one came, I could not get it to display more than 1 minute. At first I thought it was the driver on my notebook. I installed a new driver and it gave my notebook a blue screen. Next I thought it was the power cable and I asked my colleague to get me 1. I tried it but it only display for 1 minute. Sigh!

I decided to call HP help desk. They came and replace it with a new unit. Cool eh? It took only 1 day for them to do it.

Now I can watch movie on this screen. Oops, I mean work. I have been having a lot of night tele-conferences and a big screen does help a lot!

My kids just watch Despicable Me on it and they love it to the max!

Beware of Paparazzi
06.18.11 |Entertainment, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

Many celebrities are afraid of paparazzi. They are everywhere. Celebrities have no private life because these paparazzi will tail them night and day. I mean where do they get the energy from? Maybe they could have taken some hgh supplements to power up.

There is definitely no freedom for celebrities. The other day I read in an internet article about a Hong Kong celebrity caught walking in his house naked. I mean why the public cares, it is his own home, he can do anything he likes. However the paparazzi didn’t give way but took his naked pictures and published it in the magazine. Looks like this paparazzi is crazy about money and sold their own integrity! It is a sad case.

Do you know you can get new psp games online? I remembered I used to own a PSP, actually it was my husband. It was dreadful to go to the shop to select the games. It was so many and they didn’t categorize it. I went dizzy browsing through their catalog.

However with online, you can browse by category, search by keywords and read reviews about the game. At some site, you can even view a demo version of it. It makes online shopping more fun and hassle free.

Grey Anatomy
03.23.11 |Entertainment, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

I love watching Grey Anatomy. I watch the series online. It is a medical drama which a number of intern doctors working their way up to become surgeons. Along the journey, there are many stories about love, humor, hate, trauma, shooting and emotions build up in the series.

I must say I didn’t like the lesbian plot in it. Anyway, it is the individual medical cases that I like. I learn some medical terms from watching the show too. Of cause, for some you get to see pretty nurses or doctors in their nursing scrubs.

I missed Izzie from the show and I wished she will return some day. And how can they break Lexie and Sloan apart. They are kind of cute together. I cannot wait for the next episode to be online.

Entertainment World With Business Strategy
04.09.10 |Entertainment, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

Everyone loves to go Genting here because it is the entertainment centers for adults and children. The management did something right to attract all age group people. It makes them want to go up and take a vacation there. Not many entertainment centers work here and sad to say some die.

They also keep attracting the current artists or celebrity to do their concerts. It makes fans drive a long way up there to watch their favorite artists. Once they are up there, they will spend on accommodation, food, entertainment and of coz contribute to the casino. I kind of like their business strategy.

Wii
02.02.10 |Entertainment, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

wii is very popular in the US. Wii is a Nintendo video game station. Every other family may have just bought one of these.

With any video game station, a parent required to limit children from playing it. It is good for children to have some playing time outdoor. I called it exercise. It will generate a more healthy living for children and your family.

Video games are good to simulate the brain. However exercises are good to simulate the muscles. Everything needs a balance.

Autumn In My Heart
09.04.09 |Entertainment| Permalink | 1 Comment

I accidentally found this Korean Drama online and yesterday I watched it on YouTube. It created rainy weather in me. The story was so touching and made me cry almost on every episode. The story plot is about 2 gals being switched at birth. One landed in a rich family and the other in the poor family. The rich gal had an accident and the parents found out she is not their biological daughter. Later they found that their daughter is living with the poor family.

Sad to say that the rich gal gave up her place and goes to her actual biological mother. She had a very close relationship with her brother. The rich family had to leave for the states and left the rich gal all alone with the poor family. The condition of the poor family was bad. It was just so sad.

Years after, the rich family son came back to look for her sister. The interesting part came when the son’s friend, another rich guy acted by a charming actor named Won Bin came into the picture. He really makes every gals heart melt. The friend also love the girl but the girl love the brother. The brother also love her very much but he had a commitment to her fiancé.

The love from the friend is just unbelievable and his acting was superb. Not to mention he is good looking and charming!

Well, sad to say that the story had a depressed ending. You go find out what it is. It is a great story. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_6jbC59hnQ&feature=related

If you want a good cry, this is a good drama to watch.

Hong Kong Disneyland
11.25.08 |Children, Entertainment, Theme Park, Travel| Permalink | 2 Comments

Hong Kong Disneyland is divided into 4 main sections: Main Street, USA, Adventureland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.

You can visit the website for the daily schedule of the events, parade and fireworks. It changes from time to time. You can also get a schedule at the ticket counter. When I went there, the parade was at 3:30pm and fireworks were at 7pm. Park hours are from 10am – 7pm.

If you stayed in any of the hotels in Disneyland, you can get 2 days park ticket for the price of 1. You can also purchase Annual park ticket to get about 30% discounts on hotel rates on weekdays.

Last tip, never get those over priced big balloons. Even if you have to get it, purchase it at the end of the day. You do not want to carry it around and you may not take it with you at certain rides. You cannot bring it on any aircraft too unless you deflate it.

Main Street USA
Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad – A train ride that will bring you round Disneyland. You can get an overview of the entire Disneyland. It will make a stop at Fantasyland. I found that the queue in Fantasyland is shorter than the Main Street. You can ride as many times as you like.

Main Street Vehicle – It is a double-decker mini bus where you can cruise up and down Main Street with it.

Shopping area – Most of the souvenirs shops are at the Main Street. You can get glass with a cartoon character and craft your name on it.

Adventure Land
Shows: Festival of the Lion King – You must watch this. It is a superb musical performance of the story of Lion King. Great singing, dancing and filled with action.

Rafts to Tarzan’s Treehouse – You can ride the raft to cross the river to Tarzan Treehouse. There is quite a queue to ride the raft.

Tarzan Treehouse – Climb up on top of the Tarzan Treehouse to get a good view. There are interactive musical instrument that you can experiment with. Of coz you need to ride the raft to get back across.

Jungle River Cruise – Cruise around the river and discovered many surprises. You may get wet or burned in this ride. Watch out for the long queue. There are 2 queues, one in English and one in Cantonese. I found that the English queue was shorter. Must ride.

Tomorrowland
Show: Stitch Encounter – An interactive show with Stitch. We went twice because my gal wanted Stitch to ask her name. Both times she was disappointed. You will be asked to help Stitch to escape. It is very fun. Not much of a queue but it is a great experience.

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters – An arcade type of ride where you are given laser guns to shoot at target points as you ride around. You can even adjust your seating to twirl around. At the end, you can check out your scores. It is a very exciting ride and I almost reach ranking L4. We went a couple of times as there was no queue.

Autopia – Electronic cars ride that you can stir on the track. Even my four year old can drive, how cool is that. Watch out for the queue. We have to wait 20 mins.

Space Mountain – A high speed ride like a roller coaster. Minimum height must be above 102cm. Not for folks with heart conditions.

Orbitron – A flying saucer ride where you can adjust your height as you go in circle.

UFO Zone – Water play to cool off. Good for younger children. Beware of getting wet.

Fantasyland
Show: The Golden Mickeys – The show was alright with cartoon characters dancing.

Show: Mickey’s PhilharMagic – 3D show that you must see. It is a magical journey. Try catching the jewels and food with your hand. Watch out for water spray too and flying Donald!

It’s A Small World – This is my favorite ride and it is new! You can see many culture, costume and colors. It is very well design. Must ride. Beside the beautiful dancing dolls, you can smell the nice fragrant too. The only part I didn’t like was, it is a long walk from the entrance to the ride. There is no short cut, bad design. I think I made 7 to 8 turns.

Dumbo, the flying elephant – Similar to Orbitron where you ride on a flying elephant.

Cinderella Carousel – Merry go round

Fantasyland Train Station – You can hop on to the train to go around Disneyland.

Sleeping Beauty Castle – Here is where you take beautiful shots of the castle and where the firework display is. Try to get a good spot away from the castle for nice shots of the fireworks.

Fantasy Garden – Photo taking with your favorite Disney cartoon. We got hold of Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Winnie The Pooh but missing Donald. Where is Donald?

Mad Hatter Tea Cups – Riding on a cup and going in circles. You can twirl around faster by turning the table. I would suggest that you do not get up and walk immediately. You may fall down after the turning.

The Many adventure of Winnie the Pooh – A journey to help Pooh find honey. Children adore this ride. Remember to smile as you approach the mirror as Winnie will take a picture of you. The picture will be display at the exit where you can order.

Here are some videos on the fantastic time I have in Hong Kong Disneyland. Hope you enjoy it too!

Nikon Binoculars

I love going to a musical play or live singer performance. I haven’t been to one for a long long time since I moved to Penang. Maybe not many singers would want to come here to perform. When I was in my early 20s, I used to watch Hong Kong singers like Jacky Cheung, Anita Mui and others, performing in KL.

I love to watch their dance. However, I couldn’t afford good seating at that time. I wished I owned one of these Nikon binoculars. With it, I believed I can have a closer look at the performance.

The most memorable live performance I ever seen and loved it so much was The Phantom of The Opera. By the way, I watched it twice, once in Sydney and once in Singapore. I love to bring my hubby there if it ever comes here again.

Comfort Of Your Own Home

Every day I come home from work, I just would like to stay home after a long tiring day. I just do not feel like going anywhere. It would nice if I have a home theater and I can even watch movie at the comfort of my own home.

If I have a home theater, I would put up these home theater sconces which provide the effects of a cool cinema feelings.

If I have a home theater, I would buy nice comfortable soft leather adjustable seats that I can recline.

If I have a home theater, I would ensure the screen is huge with a solid sound system.

If one knows how to dream, it can become a reality someday!

I used to love watching TV but due to the lack of time, I don’t watch as much TV programs. However when I travel to another country, I tend to go back to my coach potato self. I like watching TV from US, Hong Kong and UK.

Hey now with Slingbox I can watch TV anywhere in the world. It allows me to connect to my TV at home and view it from my notebook or mobile device. It is pretty cool. That’s make me a coach potato everywhere. :giggles: By the way, subscription is free.

Online Drama Series
11.10.07 |Entertainment| Permalink | 2 Comments

Lately I discovered a site where I can watch Chinese Drama Series online. The download is pretty fast and I can fast forward if I want to skip. The best thing is there aren’t any commercials. I just finish a 30 episode drama within a few days. How cool is that. Oh dear, there is so much for me to do yet so little time.

Anyway, it is better than chasing Chinese episode on TV as I always missing the final episode. Not sure whether it is a coincident or what. The final episode has to come on when I am busy on that day. With this I can watch anytime when I am free.

UOB CC member – 15% discount

We went on train ride, truck ride, merry go round and playground. There were other ship ride, bumper bee, bumper car and bus ride that go up high. For the ship rides, only children allowed, no adult. It was fun for the children. We couldn’t stay long as Emily wasn’t feeling well.

Pan Mee

I love a pan mee stall in KL. It is in Chow Kit Lorong Haji Taib 4 Road. That is where I grew up. The flat that I used to stay, now become a Tiong Nam Union (aka Persatuan Penjaja Tiong Nam). It has a lot of “lieu” as in mushroom strips, minced pork and vege. Pan Mee is a self-made flour noodle. It taste better when you add chilli and lime in it. Simply delicious!!!

Disney On Ice
04.17.06 |Children, Entertainment| Permalink | 12 Comments

I got some tickets to watch Disney On Ice over the weekends. Thanks to my friend who could get me 25% discount for the tickets. Tim was very eager to watch the show. He kept saying, he want to see Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear and Incredibles which will be appearing. Every time, we pass by the poster, he will tell mummy he want to go watch.

The day came, we watched the 1 pm show, first show in Penang. Fortunately we went to see the first show, because later show have to wait outside the door for the previous show people to clear before they can entered. Imagine the hot sun.

The show was great, I enjoyed every bit of it. Emily didn’t. She slept through Act 1 and cried during Act 2. Probably she was too sleepy or hungry. She didn’t eat much at lunch time and mummy didn’t bring enough food to keep her happy.

Anyway, it was not a big crowd. I would say 50% of the stadium was filled. My hubby took 200 shots, and here are a few for you to enjoy. I will certainly bring them to watch it again. By the way, I spend quite a bit to get those overprices souvenirs for Tim & Emily. The program book already cost RM30.

It was a great performance with a variety of fairy tales. I felt like I was in fairy tale land or in Disneyland. The stunts were ok, a few flips and twist. Music and dialogues were recorded. The program:

Act One
Overture
Goofy and the Zamboni
Aladdin
Finding Nemo
Beauty & the Beast
Classic Princesses
Toy Story
It’s a Small World

Act Two
Mickey Leads the Band
Pinocchio
Mulan
The Incredibles
The Lion King

Malaysian Idol 2 Results
09.24.05 |Entertainment| Permalink | Comments Off

Congratulations Daniel!! Somehow I had that instinct that he will win. I think he was at the top from day 1. You just make 8TV or TV3 richer, 1.2 million (& 6 million in total with the rest) votes for finale!! I think he has a bright future. Look at Leon Lai, Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok. Don’t underestimate the young generation fans. Die hard fans. I just don’t believe what I read in those MI forums. They are all out for the one they like, even if no pocket money for the rest of the month or year.

Now I know being a parent is not easy, if you know what I mean. One day, if my gal or boy came up to me and said “Ma, I need RM100 to vote for their favourite idol?” Give or not to give? I hope I don’t face with that question in the future.

Anyone who is a fan of Malaysian Idol? Tonight Finals In Genting, live at 8:30pm, showing in both 8TV and TV3. Daniel & Nita will be performing. The idols will sing 3 songs each, one judges’ choice, one personal choice and one theme song. The theme song is titled ‘Mimpi’ and it was written by Pot Amir of Innuendo.

I like to watch MI from Auditions to Workshops to Spectaculars to Finals. I also vote for Nita. I think she has talent and her stage performance is excellent. Tonight I will judge by the performance, whoever does the best performance will get my votes. I have so much balance in my handphone. I am not a phone person that is why I have so much balance in there.
