I've only got one comment, isn't it a little inappropriate to hold another woman's hand while still wearing your wedding ring?

What do you guys think of the theme song? Worth posting?
I can't figure out if I like it, or if I just find it too loud and noisy..?

The Fierce Wife - Episode 12

Once again, a little delayed..
Who thinks the cousin is annoying? (Put your hands up!) Both mine are definitely up. ;)
I'm once again impressed with Sonia's crying skills. It looked very realistic when she cried in this episode.

Love Buffet - Previews - Episode 7

I spotted two new previews released by GTV, I don't think I've posted them before.

Click:

Thanks to GTV

- Could Calvin possibly look more jealous?

Direct Link

- What's with Arron's characters always being so silent and brooding? (PS. Calvin's eyebrows are really distracting.. They look a little unnatural, and too big for his face and eyes..)

Can anyone tell me if this is worth watching? The beginning was sort of interesting, but the previews look kinda dull now.

Song of The Day - HXM & Sun Li

I thought I'd share another song, please feel free to share your playlist or current favourite as well :)

This time it's Mandarin ;)

Click:

Title: Even If There Is No Tomorrow (Jiu Suan Mei You Ming Tian)
by: Huang Xiao Ming & Sun Li.

The song was the ending theme for "Shanghai Bund" - a mainland (?) drama where HXM & Sun Li were the main leads.

It's slow, and there's no rap ^_^
...the lyrics are quite good too.

Listen to it here:

Download it here

Lyrics:
口白:我真的很喜欢你.喜欢你的微笑.
wo zhen de hen xi huan ni, xi huan ni de wei xiao
I have really liked you, liked your smile
喜欢你朝我发脾气时候的样子.
xi huan ni chao wo fa pi qi shi hou de yang zi
like the way you are angry with me
俪:永远有多远我心已疲倦
yong yuan you duo yuan, wo xin yi pi juan
how long is forever? my heart is already tired
只叹缘分太浅梦不能圆
zhi tan yuan fen tai qian, meng bu neng yuan
it is just that we are not fated to be together, cannot realize our dream

明:再拥抱一遍哪怕是瞬间
zai yong bao yi bian, na pa shi shun jian
hug for one more time, even if it is just for a moment
停格的画面能不能抵抗思念
ting ge de hua mian, neng bu neng di kang si nian
pictures of memory have stopped, can they make me stop thinking of you？

俪:我们之间会不会有明天
wo men zhi jian, hui bu hui you ming tian
is there future between us?
炽热的缠绵能否重新上演
zhi rei de chan mian neng fou chong xin shang yan
will our wonderful love happen again?

就算天一边沧海成桑田
jiu suan tian yi bian, cang hai cheng san tian
no matter where and when
那些誓言还在人世流连
na xie shi yan, hai zai ren shi liu lian
our oath still lingers in human world

明:我们之间就算没有明天
wo men zhi jian, jiu suan mei you ming tian
even if there is no tomorrow between us
回忆再明显终究消散成云烟
hui ji zai ming xian, zhong jiu xiao san cheng yun yan
no matter how clear our memory may be, it will fade slowly
用青春容颜去交换爱恋
yong qing chun rong yan, qu jiao huan ai lian
even if to exchange love with youth
我也情愿无悔无怨
wo ye qing yuan, wu hui wu yuan
i am willing to do so, without any regrets

俪:永远有多远我心已疲倦
yong yuan you duo yuan, wo xin yi pi juan
how long is forever? my heart is already tired
只叹缘分太浅梦不能圆
zhi tan yuan fen tai qian, meng bu neng yuan
it is just that we are not fated to be together, cannot realize our dream

明:再拥抱一遍哪怕是瞬间

口白:我好想一辈子就像现在这个样子,
wo hao xiang yi bei zi dou xiang xian zai zhe ge yang zi
i wish this moment can last for my entire life
轻轻的握著你的手,永远的活下去.
qing qing de wo zhe ni de shou, yong yuan de huo xia qu
just holding your hands gently, and live for forever

Summer's Desire Poll

I wonder if this is totally misplaced, since SD finished months ago.. But I trust SD left some sort of impression on most people, and hopefully you still remember our two (very) handsome male leads ;)

The question is very simple, who did you prefer with Xia Mo?
Luo Xi - whom she dated first (in present time), but ultimately broke up with because he was so insecure (although he pretty much loved her till the very end..)
or
Ou Chen - whom she dated in her teenage years, ended up marrying and having a baby with? (Who also had a (slightly) possessive personality).

PS. Thanks to Cerulean for coming up with this idea. :) I don't know why I hadn't thought of it sooner.

Click "read more" to vote:

I can't choose... :)
On one hand I totally love Luo Xi and Xia Mo together. Their chemistry is impeccable, and I could tell they both loved one and another. Too bad Luo Xi was too insecure for his own good..

Ou Chen on the other hand is rich, tall, (handsome), and highly protective. - Perhaps a little too much on that protective side.. But deep down he's very selfless and loved Xia Mo with all his heart. Their chemistry (in the end), was very nice too! Although it was a little awkward in the beginning, because they had so many misunderstandings..

Who would you choose?

Looks like Love Buffet is doing better and better. I'm actually surprised they surpassed Channel-X.. I wonder if it's due to Arron and Calvin's gigantic fanbase?

Song of The Day - 8Eight

I've decided to incorporate more music on the blog, so I'll try to post songs more often.
This is my favourite song at the moment, what is yours?

I constantly seek new songs, so please include your favourite in the comments :)

PS: I don't limit myself to Chinese/Mandarin ones, English, French, Korean etc. are also very welcome.

Today's song is by a band called 8Eight.
I recently heard it while watching a Korean drama called "IRIS". (More on the drama later).
The title is: "Without A Heart"

I love the piano in the beginning and the singers' voices combined. :)

Listen to it here:

To watch or not to watch?
Arron is smokin' hot in this one, but the plot is so ... blah..
How's the female lead doing? Is she the usual weak/silly/indecisive character?

Selina has been discharged!

You may have heard of Selina (member of S.H.E)'s filming accident last year. An explosion on the set of "I Have A Date With Spring" caused serious injuries to the crew, including Selina. Selina suffered from 3rd degree burns and was hospitalised for 89 days. 54 % of her body was burnt.

However, yesterday on the 19th, she was discharged from the hospital and met the media for the first time since the accident. - She released audio recordings earlier to thank her fans, her family and her boyfriend for their support and encouragement.

See the clip here:

Thanks to nowtstv

Extended clip, thanks to sheforever3

My comments:
I am impressed, Selina is so brave! I can't imagine the pain she has gone through, and her battle is not yet over, she still has a long road of recovery. But from what I have heard, she has been brave and optimistic throughout the entire time. I can really only applaud and admire her for the strength she has showed.

The first thing she said was, "Thank you every one, I'm sorry I have caused you to worry." Such a selfless remark.

Although Selina appeared with short hair, slightly fuller cheeks, and her body was covered from top to toe, no doubt hiding some horrible scars, it's still wonderful to see her again. Her rather distinctive voice and her smile is still there. :)

I honestly couldn't help but get a little teary after seeing this..

Good luck Selina, I know you'll get through this!

To be honest, I think Amber looks wayyyy too young for Joe.
I prefer Michelle (who died early in the show), or Ariel, (although wasn't that big a fan of ISWAK due to the storyline).

What do you think?

Questions

So I just discovered the stats function in blogger.. - In case you were wondering how on earth I missed it, I would have to say, "excellent question". It's like in the top bar, but I have just never noticed..
Anyways, I was REALLY surprised by the number of people visiting the blog every day. I was under the impression it was like 10, 20 people - max. I know there's a counter on the blog, but sometimes they are a bit inaccurate as they may count the number of people clicking in every day, regardless of IP address. I.e. if I just went on the blog 20 times a day, it would count 20.

Click:

Considering the number of people who visit, there aren't many of you who comment. Can I ask why?
Is it because I don't post anything worth discussing, because it's a hassle, is it because all comments must be approved or? (I do get quite a few SPAM comments, hence I prefer to approve all comments before they land on the blog).

Second question, is there anything you would want me to include/exclude in the blog? - I have not been the most efficient person updating in these past weeks (..and months), because different things have occupied my time. But most importantly, since Summer's Desire, I just haven't seen a TW drama (or any other TV show for that matter), that was so interesting, it motivated me to constantly seek previews and update. This blog is highly driven by my personal interest in the shows, and if none of them are interesting... Well, you get the idea.

- Would you like more music? I could potentially share more music, or you could share some of your favourite songs, since I frequently seek new songs. :)

- Would you like more previews, more structure, more information regarding the shows?

- Do you want translations to previews? - I would gladly do it, since it helps me practice my very poor Mandarin. But it's just a "waste" if no one needs them anyway.

- Would you be interested if I (in theory, if time permits), post recaps on TV shows? I won't promise they are solely based on TW, since I rarely watch them at the moment.

Lastly, would you prefer shows in other languages, or from other countries? I won't post American ones - as they have a tendency to get deleted very quickly. But say TVB, KOR, Singaporean, Chinese etc?

Sorry for babbling on and on, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to shout in the comments, or in the CBOX if commenting is too much trouble :)
