This website, which is an opinion based website is fueled in part by your active participation either by submission of your reviews/stuff or your comments in any post, reviews, section, etc where you can find the POST A COMMENT feature. I welcome your comments and feedback, positive or negative, right or wrong, long or short.

YOUR Q's FOR MY A's

There is a FAQ [MAIN] database in this website where you will find info on how to link to this website, answers to some tech problems found in pages within this website as well as a great feature where you can post questions in relevant categories & I'll answer them. Try it out!


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], where you'll find stories written by amateur writers like you and I.

Do check them all out!

Ramblings 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Yummy Yummy is coming! And I can't find a TVB rental store near my place! What happened? TVB rental shops suddenly like endangered species! I asked my sis where I can find one and she asked "Why? Watching ASTRO not enough ah?" How do I tell her, this mere mortal who understands not why I am desperately seeking a TVB rental shop? How do I confess I want to watch because....because...you know who? How do I explain I have missed most of his Singaporean series and I damn well will never ever miss this one? How? How much is per rental ah? Got VCD rental or not? If got I will definitely do an episodic thought, plus screencaps plus some clips ala Wuchang's clips.

How ah?

Anyway today I got a really nice mail from someone from Phillipines I think who likes Jewel In The Palace. A French girl wrote how much she liked Dreams of Colours in the review written by Black Eyed Susan. Imagine that. France? Phillipines? I once got a very nice mail from Thailand! Very appreciative folks and that just makes my day...apart from those feedback on you know who!

Ahhh Yummy Yummy....ahhhhhhh...where is that darn rental shop?

I wanted to write abt something but I can't remember what I wanted to write because I was so consumed with "where is it? Where is it?". I am obsessed, I need help. Even my net friends know I will be very excited at any news (good ones of course, I get very upset with the bad ones) abt my favourite Malaysian guy and my typos, a proof of that. So embarassing but you know this feeling of idol worshipping makes me feel young, energetic, silly and very involved in the entertainment world again.

Ah yes, I remembered why I am writing this. I wanted to convey my crisis that Yummy Yummy is showing and I am sure some may be asking "hmmm who is that handsome guy?" (admittedly Kevin Cheng is the handsomest but I am not talking about him) so my Shaunsation will be of great help and guess what? CAN'T DECIDE ON A LAYOUT! I am doomed! I am a perfectionist you know, and a perfectionist needs to perfect her perfection you know....

Aiyahhhh....total perspective vortex needed...he is not the lead star, he is not even an important character in this series. He is a microscopic dot upon a microscopic dot in the universe known as TVB and I will not be surprised those of you who haven't read my ramblings such as this will realise who am I talking abt...

Ask the old timers (sorry! young ones who are frequent visitors here) who you know who is. I am just too embarrassed to say his name for fear you all will ask "WHO?!".

By the way thanks to Pearl and her scans at the place you know where about you know who, the mystery I have been wondering for weeks now has been solved. He represented his state in some badminton championship, so he must have been a champion at least in his own school. And he is an avid badminton player, typical of all Malaysians, either football or badminton. I am not complaining, healthy sports actually. But I wonder, which year? So much questions, no answers...

In case you're asking why Funn, why are you doing this to yourself? Why poison yourself with these silly idol worshipping of someone you hardly know, hardly see and everybody hardly cares abt?

My answer is simple.

It's entertainment.

Alternate answer...I am such a silly fool but I enjoy being the fool sometimes. Without fansites, I bet the Internet will be such a boring place.

For 1 vcd (2 episodes), the rental is RM4 for four days.

Yummy Yummy will be available for rental around August 8.

By the way, I've the same feeling you have, obsessing over you-know-who and get this weird look by my friend everytime i speak abt her.

Sorry, can't help u on places of rental since I don't stay in KL.

But the price for TVB series now is RM3 for 2 episodes. If u rent today and return the same day or the next day, they give u back 50cents. Yes, TVB series now has VCD format. 2 episodes in 1 VCD.

It's RM4 for two episodes. Refund of RM1 if you returned them the next day.

Additional info: u can keep the vcds for 3 days. After that, each subseqent day will be charge 50cents.

Well, that's what my rental shop charge, but it seems from sehseh's answers that different place charge differently.

Thanks for all the info. Are we all in KL region? There are RM1 difference between Sehseh and Kidd's reply. Just a few quick questions before I go and open an account after like what? 3 years?

Can find out for me how much is the deposit now? RM60-00? Do they still have tapes instead of VCDS? Are the VCDs good quality, because I fear jearky images and having to change the CDs again and again? Still one day 2 episodes or 2 days 2 episodes released? Can I rip off the poster for my own use?

Ok maybe last question no need answer.

By the way Sehseh, between you and I, who is more obsessed? I guess me less because he's in Singapore and I have yet to go to singapore to have a peek. If he is in Malaysia I will definitely go and have a look. I am obsessed with how tall celebrities are. Why you friend give you the weird look? I don't see anybody giving anyone else that look when talking abt Bae Young Jun? Maybe because you're a girl and she's also a girl?

Do give a note in the Tagboard or your website when the show is actually available for rental.

Eh You Know Who is my own special term, copyrighted already. You can have That One or The One. Easier for reference.

I paid a lifetime deposit of RM20. And no, you DO NOT rip off the poster! Well, there's no harm asking the store to give it to you...

The VCD quality is ok, but some VCD were purposely made to have error (to avoid ppl copying and burning them)

It's two day, two episode. sometimes three day per vcd (2 episodes)

Of course I'm more obsessed lah! If I have the $, I will go and visit The One in HK! Don't think it's a 'girl' reason. I think it's more to - your-age-is-over-highschool-girl-obsession. You know, they think only girl under 18 can be obsessed with idols.

Haha.. I don't know abt Funn, but August is the month where I will be plastered to my tv set after work.

On 8TV there's Full House, then watch Yummy Yummy and perhaps even LWOLAP. I'm going crazy~~~~~

Evelyn, alas...I am only human. Sighhhhh..

My weekends are already plastered, super glued to my couch because of Jewel In The Palace. Anyway, that website is disappointing. Not even ONE decent picture or intro...total perspective vortex, his characters is one miniscule tiny non existing dot piled upon it with millions of others...I am beginning to be very irritated by the very sight of Ben Yeo and now Michelle Chia. Disgusting!
