林宇中's Latest Album

Got to hear this Malaysian singer's songs frequently nowadays, partly I think cos the Malaysian's really support their own artistes, so been hearing on the radio almost everyday when I go to fetch Sam from school.

林宇中's latest album, 干物世界. The 1st 主打歌，"干物女", was playing on FM101.3 two months before the release of the album!



Hadn't really liked 林宇中 from his past songs (watched the MVs on tv). Thought his voice a bit too 'sissy' to my taste, & the songs he penned himself were all that to my liking.

So was pleasantly surprised by his latest offering. Which was lucky for me, cos I was bombarded by it so frequently on radio!

His other 主打歌, "改嫁", is pretty good too.............unfortunately no MV made (yet?)...........

Lion Heart by SMAP

Was hunting for the lastest episode of the drama serial CHANGE, and came across one of my old favourites: Lion Heart, by the Jap group SMAP. The MV is really laughable, but I love the song!!! (even though have no idea what they're singing about)

斗牛，要不要

Just finished watching the latest Taiwanese drama serial, 斗牛，要不要.

Started watching the show cos female lead is one of my fav, S.H.E's Hebe. This is the 1st time she's acting as female lead without Ella & Selina, so of course checked out her 1st effort.

After the show, found the 1st male lead, 贺军翔, to be actually good-looking: never understood why he was considered handsome from his previous 2 shows (换换爱 & 恶魔在身边). After this, can fully understand why he's so popular in Taiwan. Guess all the suits helped a bit. ;)

Also, finally found the 2nd male lead, 李威, to be acceptable. Previously found the actor to be a bit annoying. Now with such a heart-melting "protect her forever, even if can't be together" role, his popularity is also up.

One interesting aspect of the serial is its showcasing of fancy basketball moves. Really quite impressive, and the players soooooooo suave doing it!

However, cannot tahan the way the director keeps doing the 360 degrees filming. When focusing on the 2 leads falling in love it's lovely, but when it's done whenever they're together, & even when the 2 male leads are fighting for the attention of their gal, I can't help wishing to fast forward those scenes.

But a big plus: the soundtrack from S.H.E's recording company, HIM International. Really well suited to the show, having distinct themes for different threads of the story.

Loved this song 爱来过 describing Hebe's character's love for 贺军翔's.
This is extract from the drama:

My Girl

Woke up with the opening theme song to the korean drama serial, My Girl, in my head.


Maybe cos heard the song being played in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf while we lunched upon arrival in LCCT, KL yesterday.

Maybe cos have rushed to re-watch the entire show on vcd in 5 days last week. Literally sacrificed my sleep to finish the romantic comedy!

Was triggered by the trailers on Channel U in Singapore, since they just started to screen it on weekends. I knew I've watched & enjoyed the show, but just couldn't remember the whole story line, so I whipped out my vcd & went through the love story again.

Basically, the female lead posed as the fake cousin of the male lead upon his request, to fulfill the dying wish of his grandfather. Turns out that the grandfather was so happy to find his long-lost granddaughter, he recovered from his stroke. So the act has to continue. Meanwhile, the 2 leads fall in love with each other, but being 'cousins' they can't admit so. Plus 2nd male & female leads to muddy the waters. The drama unfolds.........

Love the handsome male lead! ;)

Love the songs in the show too! Not just the opening theme, but also this one:



Oh, literally melt when hear this song played while the male lead is torn between his love for the female lead & his beloved (though autocratic) grandfather!

P.S. The rest of the OST, I've compiled into a playlist on my YouTube channel.

七仔MV《电影長江七號主題曲》

Watched this initially cos is sang by my idols S.H.E.

Now, the cute little alien pet another strong reason to watch the latest offering from 周星驰!

Sigh! If only I can watch the movie in the cinema instead............ :(
