Sony Vaio E Series Notebooks Are Cool

Posted by barbara in cool stuff, gadget & gizmos on March 13th, 2010 |  No Comments »

My cousin’s daughter is taking her LSAT course this year.  To help her with her lsat prep, she has joined the Knewton program where she can study online with the top and most experienced teachers.  Seeing how hardworking her daughter is, my cousin has decided to get her a new Sony Vaio E series Notebook.   I find it very funky and stylish.  The Sony Vaio E series Notebook comes in an array of colors.  There are Carribean Green, Iridescent Blue, Coconut White and etc.  Of course, her daughter chose a pink one as that’s her favorite color.  I like the blue one.

Watch OL Supreme TVB Online

OL Supreme is another new modern sitcom which I am planning to watch once I have more time on my hand.  I have been quite busy lately.  I have just done checking out some term life insurance for my cousin, will need to shop for a birthday gift and a housewarming gift, clean the house a bit and ironing. I have tons of ironing to do which I am so not looking forward to.  Ok, back to the sitcom.  I find that the title of the show is pretty strange eh?  What does OL Supreme means? Anyway, I know I am going to like this 80-episode drama because the casting is great.  I love to watch Liza Wang, Chapman To (he is such a funny guy) and not to mention, Ron Ng.   Can’t wait to start watching it online.

Synopsis:

Divorcee Lui Siu Fung (Liza Wang) is the head secretary of CEO So Dai Tung (Cheung Kwok Keung) at Selection Property Management Limited. Fung has served the company for many years and thus has Tung’s trust. Tung seems to be cowardly and timid, but is actually full of plans and ambition for power, using the generous Fung as his mole to spy on the managers. The office is where Fung shows her power. Every desk and chair to plants and pots are under Fung’s regulations; all the rules are set and explained by Fung. Fung knows everyone’s weakness, therefore making everyone yield to obedience. The whole office regards Fung as the “Queen of Office” and is terrified of her.

The Publicity Department has a new manager, who happens to be Fung’s daughter Miu Sik Ji (Denise Ho). Although the two have not seen each other for a long time, Ji treats Fung coldly. As Ji’s position is higher than Fung, she is not accustomed to the rules Fung laid down and purposefully opposed everything about Fung. Wanting to control Ji, Fung sends her newly hired secretary Si Sap Yat (Chapman To) to work under Ji. Ji sees that Fung is nice to Yat and thus purposefully criticizes and tortures him. Yat is stuck in the middle of the two, but in order to keep his job, he suffers in silence.

Though Fung is tough in the office, she is lonely at home. She got married and gave birth at an early age. Soon, she found out her husband has an affair and filed divorce. Ji hates Fung for making the family break apart and emigrated to the U.S. with her father. Ji returns to Hong Kong and moves in with Fung but only treats her mother as an owner. They don’t get along. In contrast, Fung gets along well with her brother Lui Siu Lung (Lau Kong), who lives across the street with his wife Man Yu Ju (Angelina Lo) and son Lui Yu (Joel Chan).

Ji’s childhood friend Ling Siu Kei (Ron Ng) unsconsciously treats Fung as his mother since Kei’s biological mother passed away when he was young. When Kei reunites with Ji, he also joins the company and begins falling for Ji. Ji, on the other hand, starts admiring the single father Yat. After the death of his wife, Yat is left with his three-year-old twin daughters. The family of three moved into the public housing across from Fung. Yat has to find someone to take care of the twins, so he works hard to build a good relationship with his neighbors. As Ji and Yat come to better understand each other, Ji sees the qualities in Yat and admires him even more…

Jenny Yen’s Love Show Farewell World Tour

Posted by barbara in celebrities on March 5th, 2010 |  No Comments »

Jenny Yen has made the announcements that she will be having a 2 show concert called Jenny Yen: Love Show Farewell World Tour at the HK Coliseum in May.  This concert will be her last one.  Although this concert marks her farewell to the stage, Jenny said it does not mean that it is the end of her career.  She would still perform on shows or award ceremonies if invited.  Hmm…maybe she may look for phila pa jobs eh? I’m just kidding. Jenny’s only daughter, Melody has graduated from fashion design and cinematography courses and hence she will be Jenny’s artistic director.  I must say that Jenny Yen is still looking very good and I haven’t seen her in the limelight for so many years.  I think the last time I saw her was on a tv programmed where she was interviewed at her home and farm.

Watch My Better Half TVB Online

Posted by barbara in entertainment on February 21st, 2010 |  1 Comment »

My Better Half is a new TVB drama which replaces The Season of Fate.  It is a modern comedy drama that stars Maggie Cheung, Michael Miu, Michael Tse,  Derek Kwok and many others.  When I found out that Maggie Cheung is in this drama, I can’t contain my happiness because Maggie Cheung is one of my favorite actresses.  I am so glad that she is back to acting now.  I really do miss seeing her.  Maggie Cheung was diagnosed with rare Graves’ Disease a few years ago and she took a break from acting.   Ok…when I am done looking for some online car insurance quotes at www.carinsurancelist.com for my friend, I will make myself a cuppa and watch My Better Half online.  Below is the synopsis.

Synopsis

Pharmaceutical company employee CHING SUM (Miu Kiu Wai) has an overbearing wife, KO LAI SUM (Cheung Ho Yee, Maggie). In order not to fight head-on with her, he has been playing ostrich in their seven years of marriage. LAI SUM, however, has never stopped watching his move, as she always believes he is fooling around behind her back. SUM’s younger brother, CHING YEE (Tse Tin Wah), laughs at SUM a lot, but he also feels sorry for his plight, and gives him practical advices whenever he can. One day, SUM is caught red-handed in Shenzhen by LAI SUM, who proposes to divorce him! YEE always claims he has never lost in the game of love, until he meets MIU LING CHI (Theresa Lee), a newly recruited management staff of the company. YEE loses bitterly this time, and almost loses his job, too.

Why is it that relationship can be earth-shattering but marriage only revolves around trifles? Miu Kiu Wai plays a henpecked man for the first time ever, and Maggie acts as his bruiser wife in her powerful comeback. So make sure you don’t miss this explosively funny romantic comedy which exposes the very truth about relationships!

    Jordan Chan and Cherie Ying Are Married

    Posted by barbara in celebrities, entertainment on February 17th, 2010 |  No Comments »

    Jordan Chan and his girlfriend of 3 years, Cherie Ying or better known as Ding Ding were married on the First Day of The Chinese New Year which is also the Valentine’s Day.  Their wedding was held at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. Around 10 close friends and family attended the wedding, including Ding Ding’s 90+ year old grandmother who was on a wheelchair.  Friends from the entertainment circle were Eric Tsang and his son, Michael Tse and his wife, Louis Yuen, Yumiko Cheng and Charles Heung and his wife.

    42 year old Jordan praised his new wife in English but it was not understandable thus creating a hilarious scene.  Ding Ding was beautiful and not an acne was seen on her face. She wore a low-cut white wedding gown while the groom wore traditional Chinese attire.   The most touching part was when both of them exchanged rings and couldn’t stop tearing up.
