New Bull Fighting FanMV

I made a new fanvid on Bull Fighting, Dou Niu. Yao Bu Yao & 鬥牛。要不要
Summary: Sheng Xue (Hebe) asked for 5 minutes, Ruo He (Mike) refused but eventually agreed, he changed his mind in the last minute and speed off to see Sheng Xue. What if Ruo He never made it? What if he was in an accident before meeting her? What if the two of them never see each other again after that?

Warning: Lots of flashback
Songs from BF OST.
Clips from Bull Fighting, mostly episode 13 & Why Why Love

Made it a while ago, or since episode 13 aired, but I wasn't very confident, it's not very original. However, I'm writing a fanfiction to describe what I wanted to happen, like my version of episode 13, it may just take some time. I'm leaving for Lyon next week and am busy with other things right now.



In case anyone's wondering, yes.. Ruo He (Mike He) dies in my video

Bull Fighting Episode 15 Youtube links

I saw BF yesterday. It was really intense!
Zi Cong (played by Lee Wei) came back from the dead and Qian Na jumped out of a running car! :) Okay, yes.. I am exaggerating. But Zi Cong was in an accident, Qian Na did think that he would die and she also jumped out of the car. Basically I'm just trying to say that BF is really awesome and I would recommend it to everyone. Hebe Tian's acting has improved tremendously since "Reaching For The Stars" where people found her too soft to portray a bodyguard.

Here's episode 15 @ youtube. Credits to Fionamike01

Lydia Shum Tin-Ha passed away..

I learned last night that Lydia Shum Tin-Ha had passed away yesterday morning, Feb 19, 2008 in Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong. Lydia had been suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, liver cancer, etc. Earlier on she even received a bile duct operation. She was 62 years old, it says 60 or 61 elsewhere. But people say that she was born in 1945.

Lydia leaves behind her 20-year old daughter, Joyce Cheng Yan-Yee whom she had with Adam Cheng.

Lydia started acting when she was 12-13 years old, and has acted in more than 100 movies in Hong Kong and hosted more than 5,000 episodes of variety shows. She was popular and famous despite being overweight because of her good spirit, comedy talent and enormous energy.

Joyce Cheng Yan-Yee held a press conference today where she thanked everyone for their support, and told everyone not to feel sad about her mother's passing. She mentioned that Lydia had been fighting so hard for her life for so long. Joyce believes that she is now in a better and more peaceful place. Lydia was surrounded by family when she passed away. She said that "I will try my best to learn to be a responsible woman, cause that was what mummy wanted."

According to Channelnewsasia.com, Lydia's funeral will be held in Vancouver, Canada. She will be buried next to her mother, who also passed away just a month ago.

Lydia, may you rest in peace. I believe that you will forever be a many people's hearts. I remember seeing her on television when I was a small kid, it's really unbelievably that she has passed away in such a relatively young age. My sincere condolences to Joyce, the rest of the family and Lydia's friends.

Here's a clip from TVB's 40th Anniversary Awards which was her very last appearance on stage. Her daughter sang a song "Connected Hearts"/"Lian Xin"/ "连心" that was dedicated to her mother.

Bull Fighting - Dou Niu, Yao Bu Yao

Just realised that I hadn't properly introduced the Taiwanese drama Bull Fighting also known as "Dou Niu, Yao Bu Yao" Or 鬥牛。要不要

Starring: - Mainly:
Hebe Tian as Yi Sheng Xue
Mike He as Shen Ruo He
Lee Wei as Jin Zi Cong

Number of episodes: 17/18 - still not sure.
Language: Mandarin
Subtitles: Chinese but TimeLesSub is subbing this drama

Synopsis:
It started as a 3-on-3 basketball competition between two rival schools (Dong Shang and LanTi); an annual event in which the winner would control the 13th Street basketball court for the following year. To everybody's surprise, the 9-year reigning champion Dong Shang lost this year... and it was all because of one girl, Yi Sheng Xue the daughter of 13th streets owner. Now, this game has a new purpose.

Synopsis from drama-wiki

My thoughts: I love it! Hebe & Mike have outstanding chemistry. It's a light-hearted drama yet it addresses some serious issues. It's actually coming to an end, but it's never too late to watch a good drama. Hebe has made tremendous improvements on her acting. It's really nothing oscar-worthy, but give it a try. It's fun, it's sad and it's good!

The OST is fabulous as well, I've already uploaded three songs from the album.
1. How Are You Lately?/Zui Jin Hai Hao Ma?/ 最近還好嗎 by S.H.E
2. Love Has Been Here/ Ai Lai Guo / 愛來過 by S.H.E
3. (Not an actual song from the OST) Love Has Been here / Ai Lai Guo / 愛來過 by Hebe Tian

Here's the one of the trailers: (One of the most romantic scenes in the drama) :D

Hebe Tian - Ai Lai Guo 愛來過

Some people at AF requested a RIP of Hebe's version of "Ai Lai Guo"/ 愛來過. She sang it in today's Bull Fighting episode 14.
It's basically just Hebe singing "Ai Lai Guo" alone without Ella and Selina.
I think Hebe has a great voice, she sounds good even without music in the background. Thumbs up! :)

Save The Last Dance For Me - Korean Drama 2004/5

Check out the Korean drama "Save The Last Dance For Me", I really love it. It seems as if it has a plot full of clichés, but they do throw lots of twists at you to make it much more interesting. I find their acting rather credible and quite enjoyable actually, and the chemistry between the two leads is impeccable!

Plot: Eun-soo (Eugene) is a lovely but unsophisticated woman who runs a small resort inn with her father. Eunsoo is just an ordinary girl, but her life changes when she meets a man (Ji Sung) who's completely lost his memory. She takes him in and cares for him, and even gives him a name: "Baek Changho". Love blossoms, and soon wedding bells can be heard. But on the night of their wedding engagement ceremony, Eunsoo's father passes away. And soon after, Changho disappears too! In the blink of an eye, the two people Eunsoo loves most in the world have left her.

But Changho has his reasons for disappearing: his real name is Kang Hyunwoo, and he's heir to a large conglomerate. In a twist of fate, whilst he has regained his memory prior to meeting Eunsoo, he now cannot remember the time he spent with her and her father. Even more, someone is plotting to kill him. There are outside forces working to keep them apart.

In search of her Changho in this stranger called Hyunwoo, Eunsoo heads into the company Hyunwoo leads. Through a series of events, Hyunwoo finds himself falling in love with her, this woman who is a stranger yet so firmiliar.

Whilst all this is happening, matters are further complicated by Soo Jin, Hyunwoo's soon to be fiance. Having waited a decade for him to finally commit to a relationship with her, Soo Jin is powerless as she watches Hyunwoo fall in love with Eunsoo. And then there is Tae-min, the heir apparent to Hyunwoo's company until Hyunwoo re-emerged after he lost his memory. Behind Tae-min's relationship with Hyunwoo as his best friend and his father's trusted right hand man, hides a a personal vendetta against Hyunwoo's family. The dangerous becomes deadly when he too falls in love with the charming Eunsoo only to realise she has only ever seen him as a friend.

Korean actress & singer Eugene stars as Ji Eun-Soo
Korean actor Ji Sung stars as Kang Hyun-woo
Plus lots of other actors/actresses. If you know Korean, then definitely, good for you! - Or if you, like me, don't know Korean then it's possible to find a version with English subtitles. SilentRegrets.com have subbed the drama.
I couldn't find a trailer, cause the drama was from 2004/5, but here's a picture of the leads. - Remember, don't judge the book by its cover, your loss if you don't watch it.

PS: While you're at it, check out the fabulous OST from Save The Last Dance For Me. I'll upload it some other time, but you can find the songs on my playlist. Songs from 2-6 are from the OST.

S.H.E - Ai Lai Guo 愛來過

I uploaded S.H.E's song called "Ai Lai Guo" also known as "Love Has Been Here" and "愛來過".
It's on Bull Fighting's OST.
At first I was like, the song's alright, but then they started playing it more often in the drama and now I've grown to like it very much!

Haven't had much time to update despite being on Winter Break right now, I've been sick and I'm also working on another BF fanvid starring MeBe (Mike & Hebe) I'll post it when I'm done.

The death of Heath Ledger

I forgot to mention the last time I wrote an entry:
As everyone probably has heard already, Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment on 22 January 2008. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Especially little Matilda, who has to grow up without her father.
I believe Heath will have a private funeral in his hometown, Perth in Australia. According to The Australian, Kim and Sally Ledger (Heath's parents) thanked Guildford Grammar School for offering the school's chapel for Heath's funeral but politely turned it down. Heath went to this school when he has younger.



Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek), formerly engaged to Heath and the mother of their daughter had a press release saying that she was heart-broken and that Heath still lives inside their beautiful daughter Matilda.

The cause of death was supposed to be revealed today, but it has been delayed till tomorrow. There have been rumours of an accidental overdose, heart problems and several other theories.

But the main thing is that Heath died, and I believe a lot of people are grieving right now. Even fans from all over the world are mourning over his death. I can't say that I am a fan myself, considering the fact that I have only seen two of his films. (10 things I hate about you & Brokeback Mountain). But I do think that he was a talented actor who improved tremendously over the years. I heard that the sales of his movies have rose a lot over the last couple of weeks, perhaps because people start to realise that these are the only films he will ever make. I even felt an urge to watch 10 things I hate about you again. - Speaking of this movie, watch it if you like. You will laugh, you will cry (taking the situation in consideration), and you will probably enjoy it as well. It's a teen movie yes, but watch it anyway. I found it hilarious when watching it a couple of years back, and I still do. But seeing it years later, now also made me realise the details, like the actors/actresses expressions etc.

Here's the movie poster:
