#656 The Little Nyonya

Because I'm still waiting for the episodes of The Greatness Of A Hero!
I start with an another serie!
Finally I began to watch the blockbuster of Singapore last year!
The Little Nyonya aka 小娘惹

The serie is about the Peranakan culture!
The life from Ju Xiang and Yue Niang!
In total 3 generation!

The story of 34 episodes is told by the OLD Yue Niang!

The cast is very big!!
And most are my favorite!
The main roles are Jeanette Aw who plays 2 character!
Both character won a favorite female character awards!
Qi Yuwu first serie of the year!
He's busy with his movie in mainland China!
Joanne Peh! Definitely my favorite!
And Pierre Png!
All four got a nomination for Star Awards 2009!
In the category Best Actor/Actress role!

Darren Lim, Dai Yang Tian, San Yao, Zzen, Xian Yun, Ng Hui, Eelyn Kok, Li Yin Zhu & Lim Mei Jiao are all nominated for best supporting Actor/Actress role!

First time i see Dai Yang Tian! He's so hot!! ^^
He also won favorite male character awards!
He's also nominated for Best Newcomer!

My favo Zzen plays an evil role!!
I don't like that!!

All other cast are Pan Ling Ling, Cynthia Koh, Apple Hong, Andie Chen, Desmond Sim, Felicia Chin & Nat Ho



I already watched 5 episodes!
What i can say!
Boring Beginning!
Toooo slow!!
Jeanette as Yu Xiang is great!
Dai Yang Tian as Yamamoto Yousuke 'so suai'!
Desmond Sim is really an asshole!
Lin Mei Jiao is so mean!
Pierre only have 5 scenes yet!
Ng Hui is good! But like her evil role in The Defining Moment more!
Pan Ling Ling, Cynthia Koh, Apple Hong & Darren Lim
Can't say yet! Because i know they are gonna be 'evil'
This the first generation!
So No Qi Yuwu, No Joanne Peh, No Eelyn Kok, No Zzen, No Andie Chen yet!
They are second! And if am right that start in Episode 9!
I really want to see them!!

I'm looking to it know!
For a good working one!

She was also in the serie Star in my Heart!
That was my first Korean serie ^^
But i cant remember what her role is in there

All 3 female leaders i like! Bernice a little bit less!
But Sonija & Leila are my favo ^^
Its also weird that Sonija playing the stepmother of Bernice LOL

Its a long time ago i saw a serie of Kent! In my eyes he has always funny roles!
But this time its a serious one! He's the male lead and plays Sonija Husband!

Sunny in a not dumb role! He's quite funny hehe!
He got love interesting in Leila! But he got after a relation with Bernice!
Errr that's what i think ^^

The Fresh award winner Wayne Lai taking an evil role! He's so good in supporting roles! LOL

But actually many are EVIL!
Beside Wayne also Leung San, Stephen Wong, Eric Li, Claire Yiu, Queenie Chu are evil! And Leila change evil!

BUT actually stupid to watch this!
Because this serie isn't finish yet!!
I already watch so many in one day!
SO GOOD ^^

The soup is potatoes soup with vegetable and meat!
The four dishes are the 2 old famous chicken with curry sauce and beans with meat ^^
The other 2 are my new dishes ^^
The one is chicken garlic with egg!
I roasted/grilled or whatever it is in the oven!
And used 8 garlics!

The beginning i watched very fast!
But when Kai Qi came back!

I'm not so familiar with the Malaysian Cast!
I only know Mimi Chu, Apple Hong & William San from this serie!

Althought i never watch any serie of William San before!
But he was in other co operation series with Singapore!
Like The Beautiful Scent & The Beginning!
Both haven't watch LOL

Eunice Ng was also in Falling In Love!
A co operation!
But haven't watch that too!
I like the scenes between Eunice & William!
From Hate to Love!

Mimi Chu we all know from TVB series!
So it was a little bit weird to watch her in a Singapore/Malaysia serie!
But her roots are Malaysian!
So i understand ^^
She's quite annoying in here!
Hate but funny!!

Apple Hong got more supporting roles before!
So this one is quite big!
Althought i see her only in Though It All & C.I.D only!
Her role is diffirent from the other 2!
In Trough It All she was evil!
In C.I.D she was very sweet and caring!
And in here she's very errr 'chow low' LOL
I like her in C.I.D many many more!
But she take this role very good!

Male Leader Whee Kheng Ming was also in The Beautifull Scent!
But if am right he only good a small role in there!
In the beginning of this serie!
U will like him but after a while you gonna hate him a lil bit!!
But after all the most you hate is the role of Kai Qi who plays by Sia Wen Wei!
WHAT IS SHE A B*TCH!
She's not even pretty LOL

It was actually pity that Jane Ng & Melvin Sia got so less scene together!
When they are together the serie was already finished!
Melvin did a great job!
He was so 'gay gay dee' LOL

Well after watching this serie! I want to watch Fallen Angel or Where The Heart Is ^^
Both are a co operation!
But most important Both have Zzen!

#636 By My Side - Final

Chinese: 不凡的爱
English: By My Side
Genre: Drama
Episodes: 20
Country: Singapore [Mediacorp Channel 8]
Year: 2008

The ratings from this serie online are not very well!
But i think it was good!
It teach you to know more about AIDS!
And that's very good to know!
So u don't have to discriminate on others!

Actually through this serie i have another look on AIDS!
You will maybe scare about it!
But in fact its just pity for the person!
And the family!

I think Chen Han Wei did a great job as the AIDS patient!
The way he act is very good!
He won one of the 8 awards of the favorite male character for this character!
I think actually its a Star Awards Best Actor nomination worth!

I love Rui En & Elvin Ng!
I was happy that the serie was not only about Bufan!
Buqun & Yuhang got many many scenes too!
Both won one of the 8 awards of the favorite female & male character for this character!

I think it was very touching!
When the family don't discriminate him about his illness
Maybe in the beginning!
But later they are one happy family!
And that is the most important!

Summary:
Seen through the eyes of an innocent 7-year-old girl who naively details what she feels as she goes through the life-changing ordeal, the serial depicts the story of a blissfully married man who had everything in the world until he contracts AIDS. His world crumbles as friends dessert him, relatives despise him, the society discriminates against him, and kinship is put to the test
