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.

The House Of Harmony 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Or better known as Das Haus Der Harmonie. Why? Because it is a collaboration between S'pore and Germany to bring you a love story between a Chinese girl and her American lover (I believe) spanning 3 generations with actors from Singapore, America and Germany although some posts said the lead is from England. Based on a novel I believe about American and Chinese interracial love during 1920s. You know the usual chinese woman loving cluelessly and waiting for her lover who never return and her daughter almost following her footsteps. Rather tragic and stereotype but anyway why I am very interested in this 2 part series is because of one and only Fann Wong. I care nothing for Maggie Q and I do not know the German actors who I believe must be famous in their homeland. This series has been garnering favourable reviews and is now being sold in Singapore but alas, not Malaysia and I want to get my hands on a copy of the DVD but I need my Singaporean friends for help and frankly outside from the net, I do not have really real Singaporean friends that I can call and just ask a favour. So bummer!

Another bummer is that Fann Wong's voice was dubbed. I wonder did they dubbed her English segments? Because she can speak decent English.

What is amazing about this show is that she plays a 20 year and then a 40 year old. Much news have been made about aging her to look 40 year old. Of course taking into account her character did not have access to ginsengs and bird nests, so the aging must be quite a bit. BUT look at it this way. I saw this amazing clip and I was amazed with how young Fann Wong looked. She does look like a 20 year old, maybe plus 3 years or so but for I think a 35 year old woman (she was born in 1971 I think) that is an amazing feat. So why need to age her to look 40 when I really believe at 40 she will look probably 28 or so? She is one of those few Chinese actresses whom I believe to be more beautiful as you look at her. Her features are not perfect, her face a bit too flat, her nose a bit too small and her past attitude a bit too daunting (now she is like media darling) and she isn't really that savvy when giving interviews BUT she has this beautiful glow to her face, her skin is absolutely flawless and since she put on some weight, she looks fantastic although more weight would be better. She looks great in any hairstyle and I think she looks cute, elegant and very "siu-jeh" like in this video that I am talking about with her pigtails and all. Plus she can act. She can act very very well. I always prefer her over Zhang Ziyi or every other actresses, even Myolie Wu and frankly Fann Wong with a bit of make up and some far shots can even be called Myolie's younger sister! And I like her taste in men, especially she chose a Malaysian man of course.

Anyway what to do? Lucky Singaporeans. Great shows I can never get to see because ASTRO always shows crappy singaporean series and now this. I wanna cry.

Note : I think it must be fan made since it is only on Fann Wong and her American lover. Got some interesting and tastefully done love scenes too!
