--Lunch--
Went to the hawker centre at Hougang Ave 1 today with my parents. Tried the fish made noodles from 乡城鱼面..
The noodles didn't taste fishy, the fried fillet was delicious, and so was the fishball soup. Yummy~
--Last day of the year--
Finally, the year is ending...and as usual, I won't be doing a review la. Hahaha! Nothing too bad this year except for my studies and health. Haiz....looks like things won't be better for me in the case of health matters. Ha! What can i wish for then? Wish that i don't slack again...lolz!

What's it abt? (edited from Dramawiki)
Yukawa is a genius physicist and university associate professor, Yukawa Manabu, who helps his friend Kusanagi to solve difficult mysteries. Yukawa is brilliant, an all-round sportsman, tall and handsome but eccentric. Utsumi is a hot-blooded woman with a strong sense of justice. Kusanagi told her that she can find Yukawa to help her solve the cases. However, the two are always bickering while they try to find evidences to solve the mysteries.
Loves & Hates:
Plot-The highest rating drama for Autumn J dramas this yr. It's a long comeback drama for Fukuyama. Plot didnt disappoints me, though it is quite standard as the same stuffs will occur in every episode. That is...Utsumi trying to get Yukawa to help her, then Yukawa suddenly saw the clues and rushed to any place available to let him scribble the physics equations, then he would explain his findings in his labs or other settings, then Utsumi wld clear the rest up with her colleague. Honestly, I wish the plot is not so scientific-centred, coz' I don't believe that everything can be solved by science, which the drama is trying to prove to u. What weird and ghostly stuffs are all man made. People who are waiting for romance will be left disappointed, coz' there's hardly any here, though there's some ai mei guan xi b/w the 2 leads. (I'm sad too..lolz!) It can be a little boring if the cases are not interesting, like the last case which dragged over 2 epis.
Cast-Fukuyama, ratings guarantee...looked very different from his previous drama "Beauty and the beast". No more funky and lame Fukuyama..this time round Yukawa is quite a serious fella who wears suits most of the time. He definitely looked good in it, but somehow i think he looked a little old to me leh. Haha! Acting wise, not really much expressions from him..(scientist mah)..but i like his chemistry with Shibasaki...haha! Bickering scenes are always fun to watch. Shibasaki is not a classy lady this time round, there are scenes which I think she's really cute, with pouted lips and other "buay tahan of Yukawa" expressions.
Kitamura, honestly is having a cameo role here rather than a support lead. He only appeared in 3 or 4 scenes in the entire drama...WHAT A WASTE! I was expecting him to be more involved lo...sobbzzz! Looking dashing as ever though...hehe!
Another great attraction of this drama are the guests, see the big names? There's no drama which can have so many dua pais for guests lo.
OST- OST only includes instrumentals....Themesong "Kiss shite" is a collaboration b/w Fukuyama and Shibasaki, known as KOH+, with Shibasaki as the lead singer.
Worth watching?
A must-watch for police/detective plot lovers, or fans of Fukuyama & Shibasaki. For those who are romance plot lovers, this drama is not for you.

--4/10/08 Galileo: Episode Zero--
Synopsis: (edited from Dramawiki)
The special is set 3 years prior to the drama series, with the story being related to a murder case that was partly referenced in the original show. Detective Kusanagi is looking to solve a murder mystery, and he gets back in touch with his former badminton teammate, the brilliant professor Yukawa Manabu.
Slacker's review:
Alright, there's no Utsumi Kaoru here, the female lead is played by Nagasawa Masami, who acted as Yukawa's student. Storyline is still the same, using physics theory to solve the case. Of course we get to know more about Kusanagi and Yukawa's past.
The spin-off movie version "Yougisha no Kenshin" will include Utsumi(Shibasaki), Kusanagi(kitagawa), plus 2 new cast Tsutsumi Shinichi and Matsuyuji Yasuko. I may check it out if it shows in SG cinemas.
Those who have watched the drama version, don't miss out on the special.

Went to Cine to catch this movie la...lucky I bought tixs early, the cinema was nearly full hse...ha! Anyway, the movie was as interesting and action-packed like the last one, and of coz' with the usual humour from Nicolas Cage and guys..hahaha! Butta, as usual, once u know how the plot wld go, there's nothing too surprising for you...there will be a baddie again, who really got the information too easily from Gates..and there wld be absurb stuffs like kidnapping the US president...hahaha! Wonder if there wld be a 3rd movie for it...and for those who had watched the 1st one, don't miss it.

Who's in?
Sorimachi Takashi ~ Ogi Shunsuke/Asahina Takaya
Kato Ai ~ Ninomiya Satsuki
Shida Mirai ~ Fujimoto Hina
Kodama Kiyoshi ~ Tanaka
What's it abt? (edited from Dramawiki)
Ogi Shunsuke is a pro baseball batter, who is forced to retire after a shoulder injury. He continues to train in hope of returning to the game, but a sudden accident leads to his death. Heaven messenger Tanaka said there's a mistake and Ogi isn't the person who should die, but Ogi's body has been cremated.Thus, Tanaka decides to give Ogi a second chance, placing his soul into the body of Asahina, a wealthy fund company manager, who's reputation is not very good. Ogi has to face his girlfriend, who is agaisnt Asahina due to work related matters and Fujimoto Hina, who turns out to be Asahina's daughter.
Loves & Hates:
Plot-Finally, one original series with a good storyline. No exaggerating stuffs here, and the storyline is really quite heartwarming to me. Something that is hard to find from dramas nowadays. Actually I was quite touched when Asahina and Hina lived together, and how he was there for her when she was ill...even though Ogi is not his real daddy.There are many funny moments b/w Ogi and Tanaka, though I wonder who he really is...just some messenger with power? Actually I didn't expect a good ending la, but then, though the ending turned out to be a happy one, i just felt that it somehow spoilt the whole feeling of this drama...sometimes it's not too bad if someone really has to go...Spoilers for the ending, Tanaka rewinded time...and Ogi is alive with Satsuki...he met the rest of the cast and even Asahina...like nothing happened before. (abit sian right?!)
Cast-Was anticipating Sorimachi's return, though he's nt tt popular now. He didn't disappoint me man! Great acting from him...with lots of vivid expressions, plus his character development was quite fun too. How he adjust his life to become a fund manager, which he knows nuts abt this job; how he continue to pursue his dream to become a batter again, with Asahina's body; how he wished he could tell Satsuki tt he was Ogi (lots of hidden emotions..); how he bickered with Hina and with the housekeeper; and of coz...with Tanaka. Chemistry with Kato isn't really sizzling, but it's still good enough.
Kato Ai's performance was better than I expected, looked so elegant and pretty. U can really feel that she missed Ogi alot alot...and I like her moments with Hina as well.
Shida Mirai is a very young kiddo la, but she's definitely mature sia. Initially, I didnt really like Hina, but I think this character has lots of developments too, from a lonely child, to a child who has a daddy, to when she found herself down with illness and she wanted to confess to a guy she likes...and she's sort of a middleman b/w Ogi and Satsuki as well.
OST-Only know the themesong from Kobukuro, "Aoku Yasahiku"....touching song.
Worth watching?
A must-watch japanese drama of hope, dreams, and love...

--Bugis, Yesterday--
I think this was the 1st time CC Gang was out for dinner. Hahaha! Anyway, finally decided to eat @ Fish & Co after thinking HARD on where to eat...(the other choice was MOF..). Well, had a nice & crazy meal as well..hahaha!
CH's sharkie freeze, think most of us were shocked when we saw the mug..haha! Ended up SC gotta share with her...worth the bucks man!
Meal of the 4 gals...New York Cheesy fish & chips...(hope i get the name right..)
CH's dory fish fillet with special ingredients...
I am always the extra...HAHA! Grilled salmon steak...
SC & HM's choco fudge with ice cream...it's SC's lil' birthday cake as well..haha!
Dunno if there's a "stoning" virus, coz' HM & SC were quite blur...while PY was surprisingly crazy with her sis's cam....omg! No more candid shots...i am damn scared of it.
There's still tons of folks out in Bugis and on the streets....really got the festive mood. Saw an old sec sch mate in the choir team singing at bugis la...lolz!
Well, this is the last time CC Gang will be buying presents for the birthday girl. We decided to treat the birthday girl instead from next month onwards...haha! Don't worry, this is only restricted to CC Gang la. (Though I am thinking if i shld ask my other pals abt it, coz' I am brain dead to think of what to buy, and definitely, I don't want to see a case when i start buying branded stuffs for my pals....)
--X'mas "gift"--
I guessed my SIM pals won't be in good mood after u see the advanced timetable, but u gals don't have to worry, coz' I think i am the most jia lat case among u all....4 subjects in 2 days! Heart sunk to the bottom...what a good way to start my year thinking abt it! Will kena a paper in June, and my first paper is not on early may. Must hug Buddha's leg on Vesak day liao....haiz! I am super sian now...imagine spending 2 full days having exams....though the good news is i only have 4 days of exams instead of 6....what the....haiz....

Will be having a gathering for the 1st time at my house...hohoho~! Shall update later.

Genie Zhuo ~ Gong Mo Li
What's it abt? (edited from Dramawiki)
Adopted by middle classed parents, Xiao Mai has always had a dream to be an heiress. Who knew that one day this dream would come true. Xiao Mai's biological grandfather, Emp is the head of a prestigous aristocratic family and after many years of searching, he finally finds his long lost granddaughter. As she starts her life as an heiress, everyday is filled with excitement, However, everything seems a bit different from what she had imagined them to be.
Emp picked 4 candidates in which one of them will become the heir of the family, one of which is Nan Feng Jin. Hatred soon turns to love as Xiao Mai and Nan Feng Jin relationship starts to unravel. Although it seems as if it would be a happy ending, problems are always around the corner to separate these two lovebirds.
Love & Hates:
(Gotta bear with me for those Romantic Princess lovers...don't be offended ah..lolz!)
Plot-Boring...for a person like me. Cinderella stories are common, but not as boring as this one. Honestly, u can just watch the last epi and u can sort of know what happened from the star. Too predictable but the biggest problem is there's really no orignality at all. I really don't see an effort of trying to write a better storyline lo. It's definitely a bad move to extend 3 more epis, made the drama kinda draggy. I really think the lead actor is the grandpa Emp, he's the one who's creating all this mass and troubles. Come to think of it, which rich ah gong wld play such childish games? I mean his plans were really childish...imagine he get a fake girl to be her grand-daughter and let her real grand-daughter become a maid...what the heck?
Cast-They had got the right person for the male lead, just that Wu Chun's acting skills are still not there yet. Expressions were kinda similar throughout, and he gotta work on his mandarin pronounciation. I was not very impressed with Angela's performance this time round, may be becoz' her character doest not have much depth, this goes to the same for the other characters. (Very shallow...) I think Angela is better for more mature roles, she's not the best person to act like a princess and speak with her high pitch voice. Genie Zhuo looked more like a rich girl to me...haha! I havent seen her acting b4 ba, not too bad, but nothing spectacular. As for Calvin Chen....he's average, but I find his eyes rather "disturbing"...or "seductive" instead? Hahaha....May be when he's trying to get close to Xiao Mai ba...
Music-Probably no ost for this drama...but the somgs are surprisingly not bad. Fei Lun Hai & S.H.E's "Xin Wo" is quite catchy, while Angela definitely excels with her strong vocals in "Bu Xiang Dong De".
Worth watching?
It's watchable, for any die-hard tw idol drama fans, or Wu Chun fans. I watched for both angela and him la...but I got really disappointed with the storyline, and the cast's performance was average. Well, for others, save your time watching other dramas.

Who's in?
Lee Yo Won ~ Bong Dal Hee
Lee Beom Soo ~ Ahn Joong Geun
Kim Min Joon ~ Lee Geon Wook
Oh Yoon Ah ~ Jo Moon Kyung
Choi Yeo Jin ~ Jo A Ra
Song Jong Ho ~ Lee Min Woo
What's it abt?
Bong Dal Hee is a first year resident doctor who strives to become a surgeon despite her heart problem. She works under Dr. Ahn Joong Geun, a cardiac specialist, and they don't get off with a good start, Ahn was very strict with her and thinks that she's not suitable to become a doctor. But later Dal Hee proved him wrong and their relationship got better. However, Ahn was still not nice to her as she dated Lee Geon Wook for a short while. It turns out that Ahn has one-sided love for Dal Hee. Dr. Lee Geon Wook divorced his wife, Dr. Jo Moon Kyung after he found out that his 6-year-old son was the son of Moon Kyung's ex. He still has feelings for her, but felt betrayed and cheated at the same time. Ahn's superior Prof. Suh decided to use the secret b/w Ahn and Prof Lee to prevent Lee from getting the new medical centre. It turns out that Prof Lee, Geon Wook's uncle, abandoned Ahn after an incident. Dal Hee broke up with Geon Wook and later she was fell for Ahn too. On the other hand, Geon Wook reconciled with Moon Kyung after he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
This medical drama also portrays the lives of resident doctors, their ups and downs, depicting crisis in a hospital as well as politics among its management staff.
Love & Hates:
Plot-I am curious why this drama was so popular in Korea...and now I think i know the answer. Many korean medical dramas seemed kinda similar with their plots. SBDH tried to be different, by focusing more on the resident doctors. I saw from the forum that the plot was very much similar to "Grey Anatomy", which I didn't watch. There are definitions of the medical terms used in the episodes, but in korean la. The storyline was getting better & better as the drama progressed. I got hooked...by the storyline b/w Ahn & Dal Hee. Hahaha! However, I really wonder if the docs in the hosp really shouted or quarrelled so loudly in front of patients etc. It seemed kinda unreal to me...and Koreans really have bad temper huh? Ha! That's the part I couldn't stand la...u gotta bear with all the shoutings though. I like the bond of the 4 resident doctors...they were really like a family. I am totally hooked for Ahn-Bong pair...like how Ahn was nice to her at a moment, and back to his cold actions at the next moment etc...haha! Another couple...Wook-kyung...didnt really like them initially, coz' of the time, they were quarrelling and harping on the same stuff. Though I really liked the ending for this couple, the quarrelling scenes were way too much...and kinda spoilt the mood for this drama on and off. Other good sidelines were the rivalry b/w Ahn & Lee, Prof Lee& Prof Suh..and of coz' Ahn & Prof Lee...
Cast-Lee Beom Soo...not a handsome fella, not tall enough, he's totally not the guy we cld imagine for the lead actor. I can understand if u guys dunno him, coz this's his 2nd drama ba (he's a movie actor). U definitely will know him if u have watched "My wife is a gangster 3" with Shu Qi...got it? He looked totally different in this drama. No more clown stuffs from him...he's so serious-looking, until u are scared of him...his expressions were really good man! But I can't stop laughing when he started to fall in love...love his smiles...like a boy sia! Hahaha! The whole "scary" aura of Ahn was gone when he smiled sia! I really lol when he asked Dal Hee out for dates..rookie in love lolz! LBS is really a terrific actor...and I loved his chemistry with Lee Yo Won.
Speaking of this lady...her new drama "Bad Love" with Kwon Sang Woo is now airing in Korea. I don't know what happened to her hair though (looked aunty to me..haha!), but she's really good here. Dal Hee is not a healthy person to begin with...and she faced many problems during her residency..like some of her patients died...she got stabbed...and her heart problem is back to haunt her. Bong Hee's character is full of developments...though personally i think the relationship part did not take up a big pie here. I like her narrations throughout the drama...It's hard to get use to a doc's life right? Really gotta pei fu the docs sia...how they can face deaths until they are numb abt it.
Kim Min Joon...this guy is getting better & better, though his image looked the same in various dramas. As usual, I don't like quarrelling scenes, but most of his scenes with LBS were quarrellings...haha! And that's not all, he still got many quarrelling scenes with his wife...I think this character is very tired ah? Ha...KMJ has definitely improved alot...vivid expressions...the smiles with Dal Hee, the sorrowness he had with the truth and his son, the loneliness when he sat alone, angry expressions when he argued with Ahn, the blessed smiles when his wife and son are finally back with him.
Oh Yoon Ah is quite a pitiful but strong character. I guessed it's tough to be a korean woman somehow...especially when u are at fault for a failed marriage. Many tearful scenes from her...and some jealous scenes as well...coz' Geon Wook dated Dal Hee mah..Well, her acting was good ...
Gotta mention the other 3 resident doctors...CYJ, SJH and the other "Dr.Park" (can't find his name) who had brought so much laughter to this drama. Park was really a naughty fella though..haha!
OST-I like the songs in the drama, instrumentals were alright. SS501 sang the main & ending theme..gd songs. Like the song "Sorry" too...
Worth watching?
Definitely gotta watch it! It's hard to see all the 4 leads having such a good performance. Honestly, I didn't see any lousy acting here. All u gotta do is lower down the volume when u start seeing shouting scenes. Hahaha! It's one of the best kdrama u gotta catch in 2007.

--Ngee Ann City--
Went to meet with the rest after ESAP lect. Lunch was at Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao La Mian Dian....which I didnt go for quite sometime. They changed their menu outlook la, so wasn't really used to it at first...

Hoped that SC like her gifts la....though I havent give her CC gang's present. Haha! Wait ah~
Had our Xmas exchange later after GC came....after at least 8 rounds of chou qian....we finally exchanged our gifts. Hahaha! How come it's so easy to pick your own gift? I received my present from SC, while she exchanged hers with Ann and ended up receiving mine...hahaha! Well, it's nothing great actually...but hope u like it.
Ha...saying abt SC's xmas gift...haha! Hey...my mirror's cover spoilt leh! Now got new mirror sia... still got hanky to wipe mirror ah? Hahaha!
Legs and shoulders were very tired after we walked around. Haiz...cannot make it la! Old liao la! Hahah!

Initially we wanna go Botanic gdns for our picnic, butta in the end...we went to Lido...hahaha! Ok...there's shelter, air-con, plus tv ads mah~ hahaha!
Gotta say thanks to PF and ML...for preparing the food.
PF's tomato & veg salad.
...and her egg & ham potato salad.
ML's handmade sandwich..
I brought drinks while Ann bought the junk food ah...what an unhealthy person?! hahaha!
Crapped till noon, Ann left while the 3 of us went to shop at Wisma la, before we had our lunch at Aji Tei @ Taka. (U must be thinking we can really eat right?) Haha!
Saying abt my lunch today...no pics. I ordered my Sanma set....and I was really anticipating. There came my fish, butta when i cut open it ah....purple-blackish thingy came out...and I initally thought it's the organs. Hahahah! It's really bitter...so i ate the meat...and found that the fish was like not fully cooked (I didn't realise it...it's pf who told me). The bones part were all purple-blackish. So, asked the waitress abit it and i waited for another sanma..while the other 2 slowed down their pace and wait for me..lolz! Finally, I can have a decent meal with a yummy sanma..hehe!
--Funfair--
Went to Fu Hui with PF later to visit E.W, who's helping out at a stall. Raining on and off and it's really irritating. Anyway, met YN & her sis there too. Hahaha! Went to office to help Tuan sign up for dharma class next yr. Ha! When i gave the admin her photo....the admin asked, " Is this you or your sister?"....(nearly fainted). Then Ven. Hao Xiang and that admin both said Tuan looked like me, while PF laughed....and I don't know what to say. (Honestly, we don't look alike since young, but recently more n more ppl are saying abt we looked alike.) So Tuan...this is a compliment ok?! Hahaha!
--Coming week--
Gotta hand up PSOC assignment and there's ISORG test! Arrgghh....how come i am so busy in dec?!

--On Mission--
Well, I was on mission today with the gals....but things didn't go too well for me. Ha! I would leave the 1st incident to the last..
It has been ages since I last went to GV Plaza to catch a movie (I was left with no choice this time actually...haha!). Anyway, I think I will continue to stick with Cathay in the future...lolz! Bought tixs for the rest and I was surprised to know they don't accept Master Card below 50 bucks! Good gracious...I didn't bring enough cash with me...and gotta go all the way down to get money from ATM...and went up again to get my tixs and deposit back. OMG...ok i saw their visa logo thingy...but that's really sianz for me...
Butta, my mission went very smoothly with CH who came later. Hahaha! All thanks to E.W for her suggestions as well. Ha!
--Hero--
Finaly I managed to catch this movie!!!! For those folks who have not seen the drama and special version yet, may be u will be slightly loss and bored...as this movie, strictly to say, was more like a drama than a movie. Hahahaha! Butta, I enjoyed alot ne~ The first scene was the tv ad selling stuffs...and i was...wow! 好怀念哦! The drama was back in my memory instantly! Everything's so familiar! Love the whole cast and Kimura was just as wonderful! (かっこいいね~~~). Matsu Takako was great too, but i still prefer her in long hair...
Story was good, though lack actions la. And I can see they actually tried to drag the case longer, so somehow, it's a little boring here and there. Lee Byung Hun really should have more scenes! Not enough la!!! Hahaha! I really like Kimura-Matsu's chemistry!!! Oh My...after waiting for 6 yrs...(Hero drama in 2001), the 2 of them were finally together at the last scene. Damn High! I bet my pals also enjoyed the movie very much.
Music was equally good..like 6 yrs ago!
How I wish there's a Hero sequel...haha!
--Enough--
Ok, I know this would spoil mood coz' I sound very high earlier on. Well, I decided to let my that 2 "forever late" pals know that I am not pleased with them today, though I got over it liao...(before they came). It's sian to see one sms coming at 11 plus when I was reaching my destination soon, saying she overslept blah blah...and when I reached PS, i received another sms with the same reason and that's our meeting time 11.30am.
Compared to my the other pal, who just finished work in the morning, and told me she wld be 30 mins late, and in the end she reached before 12pm.
I think your didn't have any better excuse than her ba? We finished our mission and were having our lunch while waiting for u gals to come...and I waited for an hr...
Seriously, if I am waiting for them alone...I wld go crazy...coz' I hate waiting for ppl, so I make myself late for meetings also. But 1 hr is really ridiculous.
Pals...I know u gals are always late...I don't mind and actually I can't do anything with that...
You can be late for sch or whatever...but pls dont let your pals wait for so long can? I want to see some initiatives or some effort from u all...and this is also a reminder to those who are like them.
There's no need for any apologies...I want to see your actions.
I really hope to see changes....准时是一种美德。
Thank You.
P.S: I am not angry anymore, but nothing is guaranteed...if there's a next time.

What's it abt? (edited from Dramawiki)
Xia Tian, Ah Jiang, Fang Wei & Bulu grew up on Westside Street together and they're students from Ying Ye High School.
Xia Tian's dad is a police officer at Westside Street and is going to retire. But just on that fateful day, they all had a fight with Dinosaur & gang in the school and were almost expelled by the principal, with pressure from Dino's politician dad.
Officer Xia went to settle the conflict and not only did it got complicated, his gun got misplaced by the principal too. Everyone thus discussed things over and decided that Ah Jiang & gang will remain in school and they must find the gun within one month before their graduation. Or else, they will be graduate successfully.
While finding the missing gun, they discovered that an ex-convict Grey Wolf who escaped from prison is possibly connected with the missing gun and surprisingly, the Grey Wolf has close communication and contact with students in Ying Ye.
During their mission, AJ and XT who have since young been at loggerheads develop feelings for each other. FW who has always liked XT now becomes the love rival of AJ. FW knows that AJ likes XT too, but the latter kept denying, though he felt jealous when FW courts XT. In the end, FW gave up and conceded defeat to AJ and AJ & XT become a couple. The couple then gone some hardships and their relationship becomes closer and stronger.
Just then, Xu Ding Kai a.k.a tian ji ge appeared out of a sudden and disclosed his real identity as a police officer after a case which he was mistaken as a mob boss. Soon, he came b/w the couple and AJ sees him as a threat. As DK gets closer to XT, his ulterior motives are also getting clearer. While FW & Bulu are finding evidences against DK, XT decided to go to US for further studies and her relationship with AJ starts to have problems. AJ decided to let XT leave him for good and initiates a break up heartlessly after he found out that he may become blind.
FW & Bulu finally found out DK's motives, but then DK and XT's dad are on a mission to catch Solomen...and DK finally showed his true colours....
Love & Hates:
Plot-Boring, and I'm disappointed. I think i managed to clear this becoz' of Ming Dao & Qiao En. Basically, the 1st part of the plot was abt their sch life...and it's really not interesting. Most of the cast, except for Jason, Xin Yu and some others, looked too matured to act as students lo. Thus, I'm not impressed with the drama at all. There are many action scenes b/w the 4 vs dino...very "comical" and "computerised"....2nd part of the story was when Fan Zhi Wei entered the drama. Storyline sort of gone out of track...what's this drama's theme? There's like a clean break b/w the 1st part and the latter. Ending was lame...and kinda rush.
Cast-Was anticipating MingEn couple after their last drama. Love their chemistry. Butta as i said earlier, I didn't like the plot and of coz' I don't really like the characters as well. Sorry la..
MingEn still got the chemistry la, butta it's definitely not as hot as their "WZBQW". Ming Dao's acting was as usual, his style...expression, way of talking (esp. when he shouted...). I find him childish also...perhaps becoz' Ah Jiang is a young fella. Hahaha!
Qiao En is a tough girl....no difference here. XT is definitely one of the most tomboyish characters in idol dramas. I liked her change to a more feminine one as the drama progressed. Emotional scenes were done rather well, butta I hope to see her in a new image la...
Huang Zhi Wei looked abit odd in the group, perhaps he really doesn't fit into his character sia. It's weird la...and his acting was stiff leh. I wondered how well he did in his famous drama "The Rose". Jason did relatively alright...but too little scenes of him...and HZW la. Their screen time taken up by the other guy...Fan Zhi Wei. Haha! Actually his character was the most interesting fella of all. Coz' I can't be sure if he's a gd or bad guy till the very end of the drama....he's always changing...and u can't really guess his next steps. Butta, I don't like his voice leh...sounds weird...and he's actually same age as Ming Dao ba (2 days younger than MD some more), but he looked so much older. haha! Btw, HZW is younger than MD in real life. Ha!
The other cast was alright la...gotta mention Chong Chong (Dino's dad)...really a kns fella! Hahaha!
OST-hmm.....songs are not bad, but not as nice compared to "AQMFS" or "WZBQW".
Worth watching?
Definitely won't reco to any of you...waste of time. I guess many ppl watch it for the same reason as me la...butta...not really worth it anyway. I think this is MD's worst drama of all times...(not sure of Angel Lover tho..). Ratings speaks for itself....

他 严格来说不是一位很传统的父亲。
不过，跟很多人的父亲一样，不是那么贴心啦。
今天，雨下得很大。
Instructor突然打电话来叫我去Ubi等他。
离三点只有半小时的时间。
匆匆忙忙地换衣服，准备去搭巴士。
蒋先生突然说要载我去哦~
心里很感激，也挺感动的。。
不过，脑子里开始找很多借口去解释他的行为。。
是因为他会去ubi呢？
还是他顺便要去买东西？
哈！还是不用想太多啦！
我的蒋先生。。。有进步了喔~哈哈哈！
