Korean drama - 紳士的品格 A Gentleman's Dignity

This drama was aired a few months back on Channel U and it was our must watch drama every night (was rather surprised that HE likes the show, even much more than I do). We were rather happy at this good 'find' as there don't seem to be much TV programmes worth watching these days =<

It has been months since we last switched on our mio TV which is a super waste of money and we are just counting down to the end of the contractual period to terminate this plan.

This drama evolves around the daily life (work life / daily life etc) of these 4 friends and is rather entertaining. I like the humorous aspect of this drama serial which is a nice ending to my stressful daily life.

The 4 male characters complement each other perfectly and kind of reminded me of F4 (Taiwanese boy band which acted in Meteor Garden previously).

My favourite song from this drama - Illa Illa (with my favourite couple).

Highly recommended Korean drama for everyone's entertainment!

Desperate Housewives - Scene on coping with grief

Saw this interesting and meaningful scene whereby Eva Longoria (acting as Gabrielle Solis)  was 'guided' by a third party to release a balloon into the air as part of coping with the pain of her miscarriage. Just looking at the scene, I can feel myself letting go all the sad memories over the past 2 years and the peace settling down within...

 Previously, Gabrielle's way of coping with the loss was shopping and more shopping which seems to be a rather appealing avenue as well. Imagine the wonderful feeling one gets when you found something which you were looking for... No doubt this feeling might not entirely 'cover' the sense of loss but I believe it does help one to gradually overcome this low point in life. I am sure guys won't really understand this view point though.

JUMP & FLYING - Non-verbal Korean Drama

Watched JUMP previously in Korea during our honeymoon.

It was quite humorous and entertaining.

When HE saw the advertisement on FLYING the other day, it was decided that we shall get our tickets too.

The 1.5 hour show just flew past and we were vastly entertained.

Tinges of romance, humour and action...

Review of OTO e-Cuddle & e-Lux

Just collected these 2 items from OTO earlier on as part of the Zaobao Subscription promotion I did for my parents.

Only spent $99 for these 2 items.

Have 'copied' the setup at the OTO store and attached the OTO e-Cuddle to the top portion of the e-Lux to enable a more effective massage experience.

Quite shiok to enjoy a 20 mins massage while watching TV especially our neck and lower back.

Incorrect postures while using PC (slouching + tortoise head-out posture)/too much Diablo-ing...

Yet to try the OTO e-Cuddle on the thighs and calves though.

The massage style of e_Lux is separated into 2 main styles - rolling or Shiatsu.

The e-Lux Shaitsu style and e-Cuddle is quite effective for tired aching neck and back muscles.

More details of these 2 items can be found at http://www.otobodycare.com.sg/products/details/OTO_e-cuddle/ and http://www.otobodycare.com.sg/products/details/18/.

If you are interested, can just pop by the nearest OTO outlets to give it a try.

We saw quite a number of promotions when we were at their Nex outlet earlier on.

Birdcages @ Novotel wedding

Birdcages have been used as part of wedding decorations for quite some time.

This is the first wedding I came across that uses birdcages with lit candles as part of the aisle decoration.

Super likey!

Such a soft romantic feel...

The bad thing about some Taiwanese dramas... 爱上查美乐... 犀利人妻...

One bad thing about some of the Taiwanese drama I am watching is that there are always third parties...

Usually it is the most innocent/unattractive looking guy that attracts the attention of the young & pretty third party.

I might be too emotional but such scenes always make me feel sad for the wife/girlfriend which are not necessary lousy.

Perhaps it is just that they might not be paying much attention towards maintaining their appearance.

What makes it even more sad is that their lives usually evolves around these 'innocent/unattractive looking' guys and they are always the last to find out about these incidents.

Luckily there is always a Prince Charming in the pipeline!

 

The Fierce Wife 犀利人妻 ~ Continued

All along I thought that the last episode of The Fierce Wife (犀利人妻) is out as this drama actually started airing back in 2010.

This was why I happily settled down to watch this drama three days ago.

It was only yesterday after watching Episode 22 which I thought was the last episode, did I realise how wrong I was.

Approaching the last 10 mins of the episode, I was telling myself how it is possible that this drama can have a smooth and complete ending in such a short time frame left...

So foolish of me.

It seems that the last episode will only be aired in Taiwan on 16 April =<

Some famous quotes taken from the show:

Quote 1: 人妻三怕 撞车 撞鬼 撞小三

Translation: As a wife, there are three fears that she has, namely: car accident, ghost & third parties.

The part on 撞车, I totally agree. Imagine being disfigured for life... I rather die on impact in the car accident la.

The part on 撞鬼, I totally agree too especially in my current workplace where there seems to be plenty of such things floating around with countless people encountering them even in broad daylight =< I just hope for peaceful days until I get a chance to change my work location.

As for the part on 撞小三, I should say this is a universal fear of all women? Although we might be very happy and contented in our current relationship, who knows when a third party might enter into the picture. Personally I feel that tolerance (容忍) plays an important role. I was telling the Husband jokingly that 撞大三 should be part of the 人夫三怕.

** The female character (溫瑞萱) who said the above quote is super comical and together with her husband (郝康德), they really lighten up the drama. **

Quote 2: 

一旦你累死

就有别人花你的钱

住你的房

打你的小孩

睡你的男人

Translation: Once a woman die, there will be someone (a female someone) spending her $, staying in her house, beating up her children and sleeping with her husband.

Sounds cruel but it does make sense in a certain way.

Quote 3: 不要怕

Translation: Don't be scared

It just means that whatever comes our way, we should try and face it bravely.

Give it our best shot & don't be scared!

The Fierce Wife 犀利人妻

In the process of watching The Fierce Wife (犀利人妻).

Still feel that Sunny Happiness (幸福最晴天) is so much nicer.

No 'weird' & psycho character like the cousin (Wei-En)...

The way she acts and behaves is something I just cannot take it...

How she justify each and every one of her actions with her crazy reasoning and just do not seem to realise how cruel she is towards every one around her.

How her actions torture people around her...

Emotional blackmail!

The way she always feel that other people are not on her side even though that is simply not true.

Perhaps such behaviour is to be expected of someone coming from a dysfunctional family.

Even worse more disgusting is Wen Rui Fan (the male lead) who is actually the husband of Wei-En's cousin.

I cannot understand how he can just change overnight and 'abandon' his family in favour of Wei-En whom he feels that makes him feel younger all over again.

If he really feels that his wife is not exciting enough for him, he should not have married her in the 1st place...

I am super amazed at Xie An Zhen (the wife of Wen Rui Fan). She is like those traditional wife where the husband always comes first. The husband can do no wrong type.

Just hope that this drama ends on a happy note.

Sunny Happiness (幸福最晴天)

Just finished watching 幸福最晴天.

Super nice drama.

This drama is about the dramatic r/s bet Xiang Yun Jie (Mike He) who is a rich arrogant man  and Fang Yong Yong (Janine Chang) who is an orphan.

They 1st met in a minor road accident.

2nd meeting was at the hotel which Xiang Yun Jie owns and where she works as a housekeeper.

Their love story started all because they came to a mutual 'fake marriage' arrangement whereby Fang Yong Yong play a fake role as his 'wife' to help get custody of his son which Xiang Yun Jie just got to know about while Xiang Yun Jie will promise to preserve the piece of land that the orphanage lies on which is also the place where Fang Yong Yong once lived for 8 years.

There are super sad moments where they lost their baby but I was glad that the drama ended on a happy note =>

Highly recommended drama without those 'lame' lines that some Taiwanese dramas have.
