A local version of Reply 1994? Sounds promising, doesn't it? For the past few weeks, I've been addicted to the Channel 8 9pm drama 谢谢你出现在我的行程里 Walk With Me. The drama has a title that's quite a mouthful but I'm glad to say the content is quite full as well. 😛 The drama first attracted me with its strong and emotional theme song "再见 My Love" before the start of every episode, showcasing its highlights. THE GOOD PLOT  The plot is reminiscent to Reply 1994, where they had a boarding house and people from all over Korea came to stay over. In 谢谢, people from China, Taiwan and Malaysia came to Singapore to stay over at Yuxiu(played by Fann Wong)'s house. In the show, Yuxiu has a daughter, Jiaqi(played by He Yingying) who came back from studying in the UK. The best part is that we the audience can relate to the plot and though similar to Reply 1994, it's not a ripoff! Haha 😂 They incorporated elements that we can relate to, especially since many ...

It starts off with a kiss. What a sweet start right? But no. Then it goes downhill for Xiangqin, the female protagonist, as she is harshly rejected by Zhishu, the male protagonist that she crushes hard on after the accidental kiss. And somehow or another she moves in and stays with his family after becoming homeless. As dramatic as it sounds, it's actually a satisfying movie to watch! The Good PLOT The plot pace is okay as it's not draggy. As it focuses on romance, it has 4 kiss scenes. Seems excessive? Not really, they seem appropriate and are not just there to make up the number so that the movie matches up to its name hahaha. Other than funny scenes, there were many tearjerking moments, like when Xiangqin thought that Zhishu was gonna marry Shahui and gave him her blessings, because if you love someone, you would wish for him or her to be happy. There are also some values behind the movie to have your own purpose in life rather than just following what your parents ...

14 February 2019 Happy Valentine's Day! It was a 单独约会 solo date between my grandma and me and the cinema hall seats were more than half filled. Probably because 1. It's Valentine's Day so many couples came for a movie date. 2. It's the first day of the movie release! Not bad hahahaha very comedic!! XD Nathan Hartono's only line was "I Love You" because he acted as a zombie. The plot was quite interesting and the most touching part was when the zombie played Ferlyn's speech(she plays as Zhen Zhen) at Miss Singapura during his speech after winning Mr Perfect and said "I love you" on behalf of the Ferlyn to her mother, Fann Wong. I almost shed some tears at that part and heard some sniffs from the audience. The funniest parts were Gurmit Singh's parts and the goat's tears procurement part also garnered a lot of loud laughs from the audience. And of course, Nathan himself acting as the zombie. If you're planning to watch thi...

"Hmm... I don't know which is better for me- Poly or JC?"  If you're currently pondering about this question, you've come to the right place! Today, I'll be addressing this because during secondary four, many of my friends thought really hard about their choices, as this would ultimately affect their future.  As a current Polytechnic second-year student, I do not regret my choice of entering poly. (Although I've thought about how it'll be like if I entered a JC instead of Poly. Should I have chosen JC instead?)  Why do I say this? While I was secondary four, I did pretty well academically and set my mind on entering a media-related course, be it in Singapore Polytechnic or Ngee Ann Polytechnic. However, many of my teachers dissuaded me from entering poly. Back then, I even questioned myself, am I making the right choice? What should I do?  Well, these were what some of my teachers, friends and parents said: "You can go to JC for 2...

David Tao descended from the stage just to get closer to fans By: Glissie Lim 1:42AM 10 June 2018 David Tao performs all-time hits to a sea of blue.  Fans got a bit too up close and personal with David Tao(Tao Zhe) when he went off the stage to interact more closely with them during his Up-close with David Tao concert stop at Singapore Indoor Stadium on 9 June.  David Tao joked that it may be the first time a concert held in Singapore Indoor Stadium felt like a night safari. This is because it was very dark and many fans rushed forward enthusiastically to hug him. The audience also erupted in laughter when David lamented jokingly that when a passionate male fan hugged him, the microphone hit his teeth and the fan might have to pay for his dental bills if his teeth fell off.  David Tao started the concert with a punch with Run Away , followed by more familiar hits such as Just a Friend , Airport 10.30 and a slightly newer song called Mars Baby .  He al...
