SELECTED POSTS
This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is
actually the index page of this website has
grown into a huge database of my almost
daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to
my heart, including gossips of the most
sordid kind. For your convenience, I have
posted a list of posts which I thought is
pretty informative in my own way that you
might find interesting. The list itself may
be long but those selected few are the ones
I thought drives home the point I wanted to
make. Do check them out in
MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].
SERIES' SUMMARIES
Sometime in 2004 I began
reviewing selected
series in an episode by
episode way, where I
called these reviews
EPISODIC THOUGHTS.
These thoughts are
mostly summaries of each
and every episode with
my opinion of that
episode included in it
as well. I may not
provide the most in
depth summaries but I am
very proud of the fact
that I could keep the
writing on such a long
winded basis each and
every night for the
entirety of the series.
I don't do this for each
and every series though
because it kills a lot
of brain cells, mine as
well as fellow netizens
who often joined in the
discussion by posting
informative stuff. These
thoughts are still open
for feedback and
discussion. Do check
them all out in
REVIEWS where it is
indicated with an
[E]
next to my name.
OFFBEAT STUFF
There is this one
section in here that
features offbeat stuff
that are not
entertainment based. The
section is known as
FUNN STUFF
[COMMENTS & OPINIONS].
PERSONAL FAVOURITES
There are 3 sections in
here that contain my
personal favourites of
all kinds.
THE DDGs [COMMENTS
& OPINIONS] which
features specially made
websites by myself with
info & all related stuff
of my favourite stars or
stars I like to talk
about,
MEDIA & MUSIC FILES
[DOWNLOADS]
which has my favourite
VODs and music files,
most of them are taken
from Chinese & Korean
dramas & movies and some
of which I am hosting
for my net friends and
THE STORYTELLERS
[WEBSITES],

amateur writers like you
and I.

November 30, 2004
Reviews coming soon & a long speech
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
After much thought I have decided to write a review for TVB's The W Files because
a) it is Gallen's last series
b) I didn't really watched episode per episode BUT I watched enough to form a judgment
c) I love to review series about Aliens, voodoos, bomohs, immortals, etc because I find them so out of this world, if done well it will be a classic, if done badly, it will turn up not just boring, but horribly boring (like Taken for instance, really no storyline whatsoever but streeeeeeeeetched to like forever to make it as a mini series)
d) Yoyo Mung is in here
e) Tavia is in here
f) Liu Kai Chi is in here
g) Evergreen Mak is in here
h) who else is NOT in here?
and more importantly, I have plenty to say but interestingly enough I saw only ONE review at SPCNET (who gave it a 5 out of 5) and no where else! And the main reason why I am writing a review? Because there is a perfect rating for this series. My main point will be is bad effects (that looks borderline disastrously cheap for a TV station as rich as TVB) enough to turn off peple away from watching Gallen in his last outing?
As for Seed of Hope, I didn't quite catch it at first but after hearing Patrick Tam's dream like beautiful voice, handsome face (did he go for some facial or something? He looked so good!) and some good acting from young children and Kenix being ... well Kenix again, I think I want to write about this series that for once has SERIOUS social issues but really, is it that well dealt with?
Now for Episodic Thoughts, thanks for the suggestions. I saw the trailer again for Not Just A Pretty Face and I change my mind. It looks ridiculous but interesting. But I have decided to do an episodic thought for Triumph in the Skies because of
a. Francis Ng
b. Francis Ng's bad Elvis hairstyle
c. pilots, we have pilots
and really because
d. how can I not do an Episodic Thoughts on a series which has a title which really spells TITS?
Also coming soon is a review of Love Is Beautiful from MediaCorp and a reconstruction of my IN series of the moment, Changing Lanes at my Shaunsation which is spoilt by ONLY ONE FACTOR; really if this one factor was dealt with with much care and love, believe me, this series will earn my top ratings because it dared to showcase a character so despicable that you will learn to love him when he turned good, and a very valid reason why he turned good and that ONE FACTOR is that bloody ending thanks to bad editing and rushed production. I can think of no other reason to justify the slaughter of a really good plot other than the fact someone in the editing room was in a hurry to go somewhere else.
And what else?
Oh yeah if you see some missing stuff in this page and if it looks wierd, it is going thru a renovation. My blogger is not well so it is half way through.
Until then, I would like to reiterate my focus for this website.
Someone some time ago wrote a really thought provoking comment about my recent reviews, that is to say I have mellowed down. I have re read my new reviews and lo and behold, true enough, my reviews (the recent ones like the past year) have been
1. too darn long winded on the plot, I was like a robot reitering the plots, but never gave input
2. too much comments about unimportant stuff
3. very unenthusiastic writing
I realised I wanted to change my style some time ago because I was writing for the masses. I then re read my older reviews, like this person who said my better ones were when I first started, when things were short but nothing sweet, where I let my emotions run high and write what I really feel instead of what I think I should feel in your place. I realised the last good honest review I have written which basically voiced my thoughts in an unequivocal manner was Eternal Happiness. I am usually at my best when I am at my most sarcastic and I am usually at my most sarcastic when I hate a series. But I once did the same to Demi Gods and Semi Devils which I loved, and it remains as one of my best reviews that I really like. In short I lost my style. I want to reclaim my style.
So I have decided to announce, in light of all the circumstances in here, I am going to retire ..
I mean retire from writing nonsense that matters to you. Nope, I am going to write nonsense that matters to me, ME and MEEEEE.
If you look at my PITNOL episodic thoughts, I was my best in the first few episodes but as times went by I was shall I say lame. I have no more energy to write about history like I used to do with Legend of Lady Yang, or that one about that 4 Chinese scholars (can't remember the title), A Step Into The Past. I do look forward to that conquerer's story starring Kong Wah, maybe then I have my passion for history reignited.
There was a time I thought the influence of my reviews are dead, because no one cares to comment. I realise now perhaps you like me may have absolutely nothing to say so better not say anything. I mean I am surprised by the fact that you do read what I post in this page itself. Thanks to a few mails once in a while of those who have followed my reviews from the days of Ebuzz who said they lost their way and found their way back to this website, I have to say a big thank you. Many say all good things must end. BS. All good things must continue, strive to make it better, only this time the enjoyment is not mine alone but with every netizens.
Yes, I am running for a political seat, which is why I am making a speech.
Ok, back to square one. I need to rethink the old me, the opinionated me, and the me that didn't care for what everybody else thinks, because an opinion is an opinion. I value an opinion, I value even more a constructive opinion because that means I am alive, I am my own person and my brain is active.
Thanks for the good mails, thanks for remembering the old times.
I think E-Buzz was truly the best. Because then I didn't have to worry about layout or updating the website, I just write. Seagull has long gone to greener pasture. Maybe I should just stop trying to make layouts I like and start writing the way I love.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, vote for me ok.
Anyway thanks. You all have been the best, though you never reply (many wrote they never leave any messages even from E-Buzz days but feel compelled to now and I guess because I suck now) to my of my comments, I appreciate the fact about 40 people or so visit this website daily, and I suspect out of 40, about 30 of the hits are refreshing the browser. Am I being humble? No. This is reality. This ain't SPCNET, this aint's TVB News Roundup. I am not jealous. In fact I am very active in those SIngaporean forums, just write Shuan Chen and there I will be, posting away. My aim has always to create a personal site that is about entertainment. Which is why this place is called Point2Entertainment.
Which is why I am starting my Yue Ling Connection again, only this time it is called The DDGs. I guess I need to be silly sometimes to get my serious persona type of vibe.
Why am I yacking on and on and on?
I can't stop. I see my old self again! YEAH! NOT!
Anyway, coming back is also The Storytellers. I have been saying this a long time but it has to come back. And I will be posting the old reviews slowly, this time without posters. It's the posted that set me back. Who bothers with posters right? I am suire you know which series I am talking about when it comes to TVB.
Anyway, one last shout.
SHAUN CHEN RULES!
(A girl got to have a favourite IT guy of the moment, he's mine for the time being until such time I dislike him, I shall say his name once in a while so that Google will list his name, one loooong list).
Oh yeah, the series that never dies, Armed Reaction IV is coming. I can't stand the tragedy that befalls Sam Yuen whilst her uncle is always only falling in and out of love. How routine.

I thought you found the flame e-mails that you received in the past to be amusing. Never realized that you would write reviews to feed the masses.
In a way TVB series are always fun to review, since there are always some bad points or things that don't make sense.
Have you watched Roger Kwok's "To Get Unstuck In Time" yet? Its storyline stands apart from the recent series that TVB has made and may make for interesting material to review. I enjoyed that series a lot, especially Roger's relationship with his dad, played by Hui Siu Hung.
