宮心計
i've finished watching beyond the realm of conscience. what does that mean anyways?? "beyond the realm of conscience"? the chinese title makes much more sense haha overall, it was a pretty good drama save for the long draggy bits where the characters keep trying to outtalk each other to stop the other from getting what he wants/get out of punishment. profound cantonese + long dialogue = me not knowing what the heck they're talking about >> fast forward... but generally, the plot was rather interesting and the sets were quite an impressive sight (when will singapore dramas reach the standard of tvb dramas??).
i especially liked tavia's role as kam ling. everytime she does something evil i'm like woah... 犀利! she gets what she wants by doing something horrible while managing to maintain her innocent, vulnerable facade. damn, she's evil AND smart. but alas, audience viewership is still of paramount importance so the ending was an age-old cliché where the good folks come out on top and get happy endings while the bad get the worse end of the stick. i know kam ling's evil to the core but i still felt so sad for her at the end. losing everything she had, including her mind. i mean, she had her reasons for doing the things she did. i felt for her when she said that she too was once a good person but what good did that do? she ended up getting her mouth smacked, her lips almost sewn together... she only did what she did so that she could survive. is that wrong? okay well, obviously the way she went round doing it was wrong but her reasons for turning from good to evil are understandable.
so tavia won 2 awards at the tvb anniversary awards recently. congrats! :) quite happy for her... a lot of people were saying that she didn't deserve them, that her character wasn't evil enough. uh hello, she killed 3 people, and caused 1 to be killed so that's 4 lives she took away. isn't murder the most evil thing a human being can commit? and here she's done it 4 times and that's not evil enough for you. what does that say about yourself?
as for charmaine, sad to say i didn't particularly like her character sam ho. i'm not being pessimistic but seriously, such a good, pure, perfect person does not exist. her character is completely unrealistic okay. everyone is flawed, no one is perfect. but her acting chops saved her. omg her crying is 犀利 haha everytime i see her cry, i feel like crying too! even though the scene is not particularly sad. yep, i still enjoy watching her on the small screen very much :)

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
i was looking out the car window the other day. i stared at the trees passing by till they became a continuous blur of green. i suddenly imagined myself at the airport on the night i'd depart for australia... i was hugging my brother. sitting there in the car, at that very moment, i felt like bursting into tears.

Orange Days
just finished watching the japanese drama, orange days. and damn, it's one of the greatest love story ever told. two people who fall deeply in love with each other right from the start but never actually being able to really be together until the end. i know kai said he didn't like sae in that boyfriend-girlfriend way at the start and it seemed like it was a one-sided thing, with sae confessing that she liked kai a lot while his back was turned. but i think something changed in kai the first time he saw sae (when she playing the violin), i think he felt something inside of him but he just didn't realize that it was love.
the scenes with kai always made me cry. here's a girl who you love, and you know she feels the exact same way, and yet she's always saying things to hurt you, always pushing you away because she doesn't think she's worthy of you. and i look at kai's face when sae does something like that and see the hurt there and i think, dammit, why are you hurting him like that?! can't you see how much he cares for you, how much he fricking loves you? isn't that enough??
i especially liked the scene where sae left her bicycle at the amusement park and kai waited there for her to retrieve it in the pouring rain. and that was on the day when they'd just got to know each other. they weren't even proper friends yet and he's already so nice to her, you can just imagine what he's like when they eventually got together.
okay, after all this mushy talk about love, i hope you go to sleep with sweet dreams haha goodnight!
Let's hit the road, babe.
heh, i passed my driving test! :D
it was last saturday. was nervous as hell. i felt fine the first time round, maybe coz i underestimated the test. having failed my first attempt, i realized how easy it was to actually flunk it so i was really nervous this second time. thank goodness all went well. the instructor during the warm up AND the tester himself were all pretty friendly, and that helped me relaxed quite a bit. this time i only accumulated 4 demerit points... 正!
took my first drive in my folks' car on sunday when i drove my family back home. on the expressway too! never got to drive this fast at ubi, given the terrible traffic conditions there. haha gonna have to get used to the new dimensions of the car though, compared to the vios i used to learn at the centre, the camry's huge!
it's still kinda surreal to me that i'm now able to drive. i don't know, but it seems like such an adult thing. okay, i know i sound ridiculous. i'm not a kid anymore. but... well, all i can say is that i'm still in awe. haha
