#1031 Women Of Times - Final

Chinese: 至尊红颜
English: Women Of Times
Genre: Drama
Episodes: 30
Country: Singapore
Year: 2006
Rating: 8.4

My though:
A serie about the ups and downs in the family!
Quit boring actually, but it was quite interesting.
How big a family is and how much trouble there is between everybody in the family.
The hate, the loyalty, the trust!
What did u think about the ending?
I was hoping Xi Yi chose for Han Zhe.
Although Zheng Mu changed many for Xi Yi, but still was hopen she chose Han Zhe!
But other side it was actually a good choice!

Julian Hee was the most eye catching for me!
I saw him in many series but in here you see will him better than ever!
Its not only because his role but also his looks!

Felicia nomination was not really deserved.
Her screen time wasn't much and her acting wasn't above Aileen Tan.
Her character and acting is very strong.
I think she deserve the nomination more!

A minor role for Zzen ^^

Summary:
The series mainly revolves around the lives of four couples and the difference between men and women.

Steven and Wenjing have been married for 8 years and have 2 children, Wen Wen and Fang Fang. Wenjing is a naggy and fierce housewife who is constantly arguing with Steven over issues such as Steven's gambling habit. Steven's mother, Ya Yu, moves in later and sows discord between Steven and Wenjing, as she hopes to find a better soulmate for her son by bringing Steven's ex-girlfriend, Ai Mei, back into the picture.

William and Ziling are a pair of newlyweds. Their relationship runs into problems when Ziling finds it boring to be a stay-at-home housewife and when Carmen seduces William. The strain in the relationship is further worsened when William finds out that he has a low sperm count and he feels he can't fulfill Ziling's wishes of having a baby.

Carmen and Hanns have each experienced a failed marriage before and have thus lost trust in the opposite sex. The two started out hating each other but eventually learn to give love another try.

Yu Lian has only had a single time of love life in her whole life. As such, Yu Lian is always envious of women who have plenty of boyfriends around them. Little did she know that Ah Wu is a secret admirer of her, until it was a little too late...

#1027 Dinnertime

Long time ago I had dinner outside door.
I went with my parents to HC to have dinner!

The food is a little bit disappointed!
So less for quite expensive!



This is what I took as my dinner!!
I could get one more PFFF

#1026 Mars VS Venus

I continue with my Singapore marathon serie
This time Mars VS Venus aka 幸福双人床

The theme of the drama is mainly to showcase the differences between the two sexes. The show consists of four different couples, each having relationship problems.
This show has been deemed by many Singaporeans as one of the best drama series produced by MediaCorp in Year 2007, mostly due to its good script and excellent acting of the cast.
So I give it a try.

This is my first serie of Huang Bi Ren and also her last serie of Mediacorp!
As 'Jie' I really don't know how her acting is!
Tay Ping Hui is playing her husband!
Many viewers said that his character in La Femme is similar to this one!
Jesseca Liu & Pierre Png taking the second leaders as new married couple.
Jesseca is leaving Mediacorp TV this year!
May won The Best Supporting Awards @ Star Awards 2007.
So I'm curious how good she is in here.

Other cast are Cavin Soh, Aileen Tan, Chen Tian Wen, Li Ya Zhu, Yao Li ETC

This serie contains 20 episodes

Genre: Romance
Episodes: 8
Country: Singapore
Year: 2006
Rating: 8.7

My Though:
I love the story!
A mini serie that I finished in 3 hours!
A modern love story with help from the post office.
A message to everybody that a letter is much more romantic than an email ^^

I really don't know there are so many actress and actors in here.
The serie is from 2006 and that time I wasn't so in Singapore series
But when I watch this. WOW..
The cast is actually very big!

Joanne is one of my favo actress of Singapore.
This is one of her first main role [correct me if I'm wrong]

Beside Joanne, Jesseca & Dawn have a minor role in here.
Even Zzen got a minor role. I didn't know that ^^

Roy is so cute! Although after Easy Fortune Happy Life I'm not really like his hairstyle in here LOL.

#1024 La Femme - Final

Chinese: 绝对佳人
English: La Femme
Genre: Drama
Episodes: 25
Country: Singapore
Year: 2008
Rating: 7.1

My Though:
Its not my style of serie, but its very teach full about the family.
The connection between the parents and children is very important.
Not only family but also friends.
Love your family! Love your friends is the quote of this serie! ^^

The 3 different story of 3 women, the most likeable is the one from Xin Hui & Quan He! Family support is very important. You can have friends support, but family support is more important! You want the best for your children but you can threaten them!

Paige acting isn't very impressive! Maybe because I started watching her in Crime Busters X2, what was her third serie. This one is just the second!

Tiffany character is so different from Fallen Angel.
I'm not really like her acting in here and I think she was way prettier in Fallen Angel. Is it because her style and her hair?



Summary:
Xiuhui is a strong-minded career woman who knows what she wants in life. When her husband’s choice to become a house-husband does not fit in with her plans, she decides to leave him. But when she is diagnosed with cancer, it is her husband and young son’s relentless support that mellows her.

Memorable Scene:

- The so many proposal from Xing Xiong
to Min Min. The last one with the tree was the most romantic! Hehe

#1023 La Femme

Another Singapore serie!
This time La Femme aka 绝对佳人
I actually have no idea why I watch this serie.
Except Paige there aren't any favo in here for me!
Maybe because Tiffany after finishing Fallen Angel?

I don't think the story is very attractive.
Its a modern family drama mainly emphasizing on the lives of three women of different traits.

In this case the women are Zoe Tay, Ann Kok & Tiffany Leong
This is the first serie of Zoe Tay after her birth of her second child.
Tiffany Leong's acting was great in Fallen Angel!
So I expect many of her!
She will be pairing up with Shaun Chen again.
This is Ann Kok's first big role as second leader!
Tay Ping Hui will be her husband is taking the male lead!
This is Paige second serie! I haven't watch her first one.
So I can't say how her acting is compare with the first one!

Other stars are San Yow, Desmond Sim, Nat Ho.

This serie contains 25 [boring?] episodes ^^

#1022 Fallen Angel - Final

Chinese: 天使的烙印
English: Fallen Angel
Genre: Drama
Episodes: 25
Country: Singapore/Malaysia
Year: 2007 by NTV, 2008 by Mediacorp
Rating: 8.4

My Though:
Its not what I expected. The serie is full with hate & love.
The love story between the four main character is a little bit complicated.
Why did the serie started with 3 years after?
Although I was hoping for another ending but after so many thing happened through the whole serie. The ending is actually a happy ending but with many sad memories!
I was happy that Yong Yi didn't chose for Zi Yang after the death of Xue Wen.

I love Zzen in this serie!!
You can compare his character a little bit at his role in Rhythm Of Life.
Although I like his character in here much more!
He's so sweet against others. Even his love isn't his love anymore.
NOW I WANT TO WATCH PRICELESS WONDER!!
His first serie where he take the lead!
But I can't find it!!



I love Pei Xuan's character more in The Golden Path.
Her character is very different.
Although You can find her tomboy behavior back in here.
But more gentle further in the serie.
I like her very much with Zzen together!

Tiffany Leong did a great job!
Her acting was superiors as the mental Kai Qing.
In the beginning of the serie I couldn't even recognize her with her big belly.
She can be so different.

Summary:
In Fallen Angel, 2 hostesses with a sad past lead 2 very different lives. Yong Yi, who chose to forget her past, is happy and carefree. Kai Qing, on the other hand, keeps her sad memories close to her heart and is revengeful and bitter. Yong Yi and Xuewen are childhood friends who grew up together. Xuewen has secretly been in love with Yong Yi since they were kids, and has always stayed by her side to watch over her. Yong Yi’s parents run a fruit stall at the market. Her father Hu Gang and mother Mei Feng are widely known as a kind-hearted couple who are always willing to lend a helping hand.



Kai Qing is born to the rich Zhang clan. Romantically linked with her cousin Zi Yang since they were young, the two are regarded as the perfect couple. During a chance encounter, Kai Qing makes the acquaintance of Yong Yi and Xuewen. The three young people get along very well and become good friends. Through Kai Qing, Yong Yi gets to know Zi Yang. The latter two are deeply impressed with each other. Kai Yuan is the eldest grandson of the Zhang clan, and therefore the rightful heir to the family business. Unfortunately, he is also an immature and boastful young man. His grandfather Zhang Da Zhong finds himself unable to place much faith in Kai Yuan. Thus, Kai Yuan’s aunt Qiu Yue is put in charge of running Zhang Holdings. This makes Kai Yuan resent Qiu Yue, as he feels that she has no right to helm the family business. Thus, Kai Yuan often pits himself against Qiu Yue and Zi Yang just to spite them

This serie is a collaboration with Malaysia.
This is also a remake from Mediacorp’s 2002 drama The Wing of Desire 天使的诱惑.
I have that serie on DVD but I never watch it!

This serie is about 2 women who both got a different life.
The one only want to have a happy life and the other suffer in the past.
When they both fall in love with the same guy and when the truth come out they are real sisters, the whole life changed for both and for the family and friends.

The 'Angels' are played by Cai Pei Xuan & Tiffany Leong.
Pei Xuan I watched in me previous serie The Golden Path.
She is one of the reason that I watch this serie.
She's becoming one of my favo on my list!
This my first serie of Tiffany Leong. I know her 'evil' character.
So I very curious about her acting!

My other reason to watch this serie is because Zzen Zhang.
He's actually best know for his role as Robert Zhang in The Little Nyonya!
But in here he's not a bad guy! ^^
This is one of his first 'big' role!
The first time he played a second male leader!
His good buddy Shaun Chen is taking the lead!
As well known he's playing the good guy lately LOL

Other cast is Kelvin Liew, Loo Aye Keng, Lee Boon Hai, Zhang Wei etc

I'm looking forward ton this serie!

#1018 The Beast Stalker

Chinese Title: 證人
English Title: The Beast Stalker
Year: 2008
Country: Hong Kong
Running Time: 109 min
Director: Dante Lam
Genre: Action/Drama

My Though:
Is it actually a happy good ending? Open ending?
The flashback from Hung & Li @ the ending was actually a good thing to place @ the end. Because so we know what happened till them before.

I really want to see how good Nick is in this serie!
He won many awards for this role so was very curious!
He's way better to play a bad guy.
He was fabulous in here as a villain aka kidnapper!
But I also can say about Nicholas.
I realize that he's very suitable to play a cop!
This is not the first movie he is!!
Nice work of child Wong Suet Yin as Ting Ling



This year, 2010, Stool Pigeon aka Beast Stalker 2: Informant is coming
It's a prequel!
Different story and some remove and new cast
