Wow, school tomorrow already :/ ahh...i just want it to be summer already..but then i kinda don't. i want it to be break time forever <3 yeahhh
what i did this mid-winter break:

• Tennis practice x2 (only twice cuz of the stupid weather -.- )
• Made Cream Puffs!
• Finished 1 drama and started another one.

okay, so after finishing Outbound Love/單戀雙城, I've started Gilded Chopsticks/食為奴 and Storm in a Cocoon/守業者.

Storm in a Cocoon is ehhh so far...don't know if i'll keep watching it..maybe a bit here and there.
Gilded Chopsticks is a bit better. funny, of course, with Wong Cho Lam. I've caught up on all 10 episodes.

Ben Wong/黃智賢 reminds me of Kevin Cheng/鄭嘉穎. Both mature +40 year olds that are so 型. like not even kidding. Very glad to see TVB give Ben the lead role (4th prince, later emperor).
Like, it's about time TVB goshh...

so 型

Louis Cheung/張繼聰 doesn't even have as much experience as him and he can play 8th prince? whyy...whatever, hes cool too though.

Ohh, and one more comment, even though Ben is 11 years older than Louis, how come Louis looks like he's the same age or even older than Ben...?

When watching 步步驚心, the whole time I was against 4th prince and on 8th prince's side cuz im such a bias towards Kevin. But now, watching Gilded Chopsticks, I like 4th prince better than 8th prince cuz i like Ben better than Louis. lol..im so biased jeez..
i mean, i guess they both have their advantages(?). i don't know how to word it. okay, thats enough of this.

i felt like i just gave a history lesson.



sighh back to school tomorrow -.- this week flew by.

Title: Outbound Love/單戀雙城
Broadcast: 1/20/14 - 2/16/14
Episodes: 21
Genre: Romance (mostly)
Starring: Aimme Chan, Ruco Chan, Matt Yeung, Tony Hung, Lin Xia Wei, etc.
Theme Song: Want to Hate You/很想討厭你 by Lin Xia Wei
Sub-theme Song: Half a Step Away/差半步 by Ruco Chan陳展鵬
Rating: 7/10



Summary:

Not gonna go into that detailed. Here's wikipedia's summary.

Travel agency employee, Law Sik Sik (Aimee Chan) travels to Malaysia alone for work but all her plans was disrupted by a "playful" tour guide there, Luk Kung Zi (Ruco Chan). Both of them thus hold grudges against each other because of this incident.




Meanwhile, Sik Sik's boyfriend Ching Zin Bok (Matt Yeung) proposes to her and they held their wedding ceremony back in Hong Kong. When Sik Sik thinks she's the world's most blissful bride, a clip of her boyfriend cheating on her was played during the wedding.

With a broken heart, Sik Sik goes to Malaysia where she meets Kung Zi again at her workplace. From then, both of them developed good feelings for each other. Zin Bok's sister Ching Zin Zan (Lin Xiawei) supports her best friend's decision to break up with her brother instead of forgiving him.




Under Sik Sik's introduction, Zin Zan gets to know chef Cin Jun (Tony Hung) and starts learning cooking from him. After getting along with Cin Jun for some time, Zin Zan falls for him however Cin Jun only likes Sik Sik.

Later, Zin Bok comes back to seek Sik Sik's forgiveness with the help of Kung Zi...



Thoughts:

Last few episodes were rather interesting when Zin Zan (Matt) comes back and then the 3 mains are tangled in this love triangle. If I was Sik Sik(Aimee) I really would not know who to choose...
And at the end, OMG Zin Zan is so 偉大 when he pretends to cheat on Sik Sik so she'd forget about him and go after her true love, Luk Kung Zi (Ruco). anyways, hes soo nice and glad he became good.

In the drama, loveddd Ruco's character Luk Kung Zi. Like woww...made me fall in love with him.
Ruco, as an actor is very good too. Except that he smokes -.- Not that big of a deal though, considering that everyone smokes. It's so normal..even tho it shouldnt be..sigh...whatever, still like Ruco though.


And his sub theme song 差半步 omg totally IN LOVE with that song. <333 no kidding. his voice is wonderful, and fits the drama and omgg ahh i cant explain. melody is soo simple but so nice. starting to learn it on the piano, thank goodness it's not complicated.

All the other characters were good too. Not one I dislike. The 5 mains were all really cute.



Lin Xia Wei is sooooo pretty, and her hair and glasses, lovedd her style!
Aimee has a really nice face shape and features, wow.

Matt is so hott with an amazing body, and love Ruco's earring. And Tony's personality(:
Didn't have much expectation for this drama, but it turned out better than i thought. which was good.

Watch it if you have time.

Raining so hard right now.

Finally mid winter break!

Saturday,  Feb. 1st I went to Follies with SL, SN, and JS. Arrived at 6:30pm, and JS was already there, waiting outside. So I saw her and we walked together inside. Holding the doors open were a few performers (4-6), including Jin C! anyways, they were singing "Feliz Navidad".

So we went in and there weren't really anyone lining up. So we kinda sat a round table. But then, after like 3 minutes, people started lining up so we did too. We were about 13th or 15th in line which was actually really good. Cuz not even 5 minutes in, and the line got pretty long. SN arrived the latest.



Anyways, so we just talked until 7:00, when the doors finally opened. The halls into the theatre was decorated (Harry Potter themed), and since we were 1 of the first 50 people, we got a Harry Potter wand, which was actually, just a painted chopstick.
Also got a ballot for voting, and a program type thing.

I will go into the details for each performance, sooo stop if you're not interested.


Jin- Drum Solo. Ever since sitting next to him in web publishing, and how the class would know that he's really into band and drums and stuff, i've been really wanting to hear him play. Finally got the chance to hear him play solo on Saturday. The drumstick tricks were cool, and so was the glow in the dark costume, drum, and drumksticks. At the end of everyone's performance, where all the performers came out, he gave his glow in the dark drumsticks away to a girl in the front row. I was not happy.



Toast (band). Ohhh geez. they came out and i was feeling okay at first, but then they started singing and the instruments started going and i wanted to marry them. The lead singer, Jordan Sanberg sang "Let Her Go" by the Passengers. Seeing guys dressed up in nice black suits and rocking out on guitars, drums, piano, whatever just kills me. really. at that moment, i really wanted to marry them. ohh geez..singing wise was okay too, there's def. other performers with better voice, but they weren't bad or anything. Good 伴奏 too for the rest of the crew.

Mikayla(singer). Tommy, her bf is on the ballot list too, but apparently he didn't play the violin while she sang. She did have a guitar accompaniment though. Her voice was beautiful. Really. beautiful.



Anne&Isabella (tap dance) pretty cool, and its a change from the singing and instruments. Tap Dancing in general amuses me [to a certain degree].

Elise-Sang and played piano at the same time. First of all, woww, that's actually not even easy at all. And her voice was pretty good. There's singing parts she could still improve on, but otherwise, wow. very good.

Jamie -(speed paint). this one was cool. Glow in the Dark paint and you really didn't know what she was drawing. Until like 3 minutes later when she's done. and the lights turn on and she flips the canvas over and you see that she has magically drawn the Seattle Skyline. Cool.

Shawna- solo singer, and guitar at the same time. Song choice was cliche, (Perfect Two), didn't appeal to me. I've had some personal issues with her back in middle school, but that's not talk about that. Her performance was pretty good actually. Def. takes courage and skills to play and sing at the same time. Voice was pretty okay, except that at the majority of the high notes, i felt like she was really straining her voice and it was unpleasing to the ear to hear that. Maybe more practice. still pretty okay/good performance though.



Kevin&Hee Soo- Both sang, and Kevin also played the piano too. Hee Soo just sang. This was my favorite performance, talent and skills wise. Not gonna lie. Their voice are sooooooo beautiful. They are soo pro. like oh my effing god. they can sing wayyyy better than some of the very trashy singers in the american music industry. they sang the song "She's Gone (Lady)" by the Steelheart. Which is an old song that i've never heard of until that day. It was soo good i decided to google it. It's originally a rock song that i wouldn't have liked, but the way they interpreted it and changed the style to a soothing, peaceful, full of emotion song really WOWWW KILLED IT. not kidding. Both voices were absolutely amazing by itself, and when together, complimented each other's in a very nice fashion. Well suited voices. Outstanding Job.

Derek (comedy), sorry man. didn't really understand it. I'd assume that if i get the humor, it'd be quite hilarious. Okay, but facial expression wise, was reallyy good. A bit too much pacing though. But still, good voice, good expressions.

Katelynne&Mikayla. Both sang, and Mikayla was also on the guitar. Mikayla is absolutely stunning. She's so perfect and pretty and her voice is really pretty too. Both their voices were good by itself, but when combined ehh wasn't that good. Didn't really mix and blend it together unlike Kevin and Hee Soo's where they added on to the performance. Theirs kinda dragged the performance down a little. Still, both had good indiv. voices too.



Griffindor and the Stank Beetles- (band). so after so many like kinda peaceful, mostly singing performances, this was a loudd heavy rock metal performance that made the atmosphere rise, i'll say. Got the crowd pumped up. yeahh, thats how i'll put it. Personally, not a fan of this genre of music but it was good though.


Suited(band). This one was good. Lots of band people, and lots of instruments. All the guys were dressed up nice too. nothing much else to say.

Lower Your Expectations-(singers). whooo another hot guy band like the 2nd performance (toast). well...my eyes were really only on 1 guy the whole time. Truth it, i didn't really pay attention, cuz i paid too much attention on 1 of the members and his every action. he's sooo perfect <3333 okay, so basically they were singing a few incomplete songs, stranded together by humor.



Austin (piano)- solo piano performance. good skills, sounded hardcore. and he played the whole thing standing up. like no chair/bench. which is actually pretty hard, cuz the position just isn't right. but yeah, good.

Jett&Emily (singer&guitar)-jett played guitar and also sang while emily just sang. emily has an absolutely gorgeous voice. i can see some improvement on high notes, but like 95% is beautiful voice. jett's voice is...well let's just say he def. hasn't hit puberty yet. He's in the stage when Bieber first debuted. Wonder what Jett's voice will sound like after puberty. His voice isn't bad though. When mixed together, their voices were EHHHH...it was okay..of course, not as compatible as Hee Soo and Kevin's.



Anabel (tap dance)- another tap dance! But solo this time. Woww, takes lots of courage to go up there alone. And also her performance was so much longer than the first one. I felt tired for her. But she kept a smiling face the whole time. Good job, and great effort.

Jaya (singer, ukelele). Needless to say, her voice is beautiful. We've (most people) have heard her sing before for national anthems during assemblies or whatever. It's just beautiful. No need to explain more.



Anonymous (band)- Composed of string instruments and piano, and vocals. Adrienne Chen played the piano and sang at the same time. Rest were just 伴奏. Great voice, pleasing to the ear, and great accompaniment.

Cory(freestyle soccer)- cool performance, and something new from previous performances. it was like 2-3 minutes worth of cool tricks with soccer. Never got bored or anything the whole time. And they weren't tricks that you've seen like 100 times before. It was actually really cool. He's so tall like oh my...ohh and hes my neighbor. He walks really fast. okay.



Derrick&Steven (violins)- Whole time was instruments. Heard that they were the good ones in orchestra, and finally i have a chance to hear them play. finally. It was good. I actually don't know too much about string instruments (although i played the violin in 5th grade), but there were parts where im just like ohh that actually sounds and looks cool. yeah.

Miki (dance)- what a pretty dancer, pretty dance, and pretty costume. It was good, and this was the only dance performance, so that was good. To see something new.



Copenhagen Interpretation (Band)- Ending band! Most had already performed before like Jin, Tommy, Mikayla, etc. Also had some new faces too, like Brie, Deno, etc.. Lead singers were Mikayla and Daniela, both with beautiful voice. Great ending performance(:

The MCs, Isaiah and Casey were great too, and the Laff Machine of course! Funny and entertaining~

I ended up not voting cuz I didn't have a pencil/pen, the voting area was extremely crowded, and I can't choose. The announcements did announce the top 3 on monday, but couldn't really hear it. whatever. they were all really good.



I think if I really had to choose I'd choose Kevin and Hee Soo as number 1. That's all I know. Can't choose any other performance.

I regret not going to last year's Follies, but I have promised myself that I will attend all future ones (:
Looking forward to the DVDs to come out!

Labels: follies, school

Haven't updated for some time, but actually I've been typing up a length Follies 2014 Review. That'll be done soon.



In the meantime, this is pretty late, but Congrats to the Seahawks! I'm so proud of them(:
Woohooo, first time being superbowl champs! I actually watched the whole 2-3ish hour game. First time. No kidding. And glad i watched it too, that was an important part of Washington's history.



Today was the Seahawks Parade which more than 700,000 people attended, including out of state people. Like half the school was gone. Reallyyy wanted to go, but dont have a ride or anything. And truth is, I hate missing school cuz that means making up work and all that crap. School should've just been canceled goshh. This is more important than school. No kidding.



We did participate at 12:12, moment of silence though. However, I was in Chinese class, which meant no one's actually gonna cheer or be loud, cuz that class is un-spirited as hell. god dammit. The thing with me, I think, is that I like it loud and lively and 熱鬧 you know. Ughh whatever, I'm a Hawk at heart <3

Love seeing the crowd on TV though. Seattle-ites unite <3



K, thats it for now.


Ohh and on Tuesday, Former Mexico's President Vicente Fox came to visit. Not much to say bout that, except that during the Q&A session, some sounded ruder/sassier than they had intended to i think.




yeah okay byee.
