Monday, June 4th, 2007
This is another favourite song of mine in S.H.E’s latest album. Ella’s rap is done pretty well. Listen to the background chorus of Hebe and Selina during Ella’s rap - the combination of the three voices is perfect…

S.H.E MTV - Listening to Yuen Wei Ren play guitar
Saturday, May 19th, 2007
This is the music video of S.H.E from their latest album. The song is one of my favourites. The title is called “Listening to Yuan Wei Ren play guitar”. Yuan Wei Ren is a chinese pop music song producer and composer. S.H.E is a very popular Taiwanese girl band and worked with Yuan on several occasions.
This song is written by an ex-neighbour of Yuan who was so inspired by Yuen’s music making next door, that he decided to follow in Yuan’s footsteps. The career path of a song writer is tough, but he looks to Yuan for motivation. This is the storyline of the video.
The skinny guy is the ex-neighbour, the plump guy is Yuan himself. Near the end of the video, there is even the plump version of the three girls :)
Enjoy the music video which is pretty funny. Just looking at the girls, I feel proud myself - our chinese girls look so fine ! The music is great !

Curse of the Golden Flower
Monday, December 25th, 2006
Large production directed by Zhang Yimou and casted by big-shot stars Gong Li, Chou Yun Fatt and Jay Chou.
I was skeptical before stepping into the theatre. Having seen Zhang’s previous film the Red Lantern, which I find rather boring. Anway I decided to give it a shot because this is one of the few films that Chou starred in and he is a great actor. Shortly after the show started, I was put off by the bright colours of the setting. It was so piercing to the eyes. Bright yellow, orange and red colours tend to arouse disturbance to the mind and it sure did in me. However as the story unfolded, I got more and more interested.
Gong Li’s acting is superb. Her emotions flowed so readily. I could empathise with her in the heartwrenching scene where her son (Jay Chou) killed himself after the foiled attempt to assasinate the king (Chou). I was never a fan of hers, but I sure am after this.
Chou as usual displays good acting skills. But in this film, Gong Li is really the big player with the most number of scenes. Jay Chou sucks at acting. One would think that he’s wearing a wooden mask. The most “expressive” expression is frowning, which where this is the only display of emotion at the heartbreaking scene of watching his mum (Gong Li) being forced to drink poison disguised as medicine, one can only say that his acting is really amateurish. I’m quite impressed by the acting of Li Man (Xiao Chan). The scene where she went berserk and ran like a madwoman after hearing that her lover is in fact her brother - you can feel how desperate she was.
Overall this is a good film. Even if you don’t know the actors well, I would still recommend anyone to go watch it. Just to see the kind of scale - the setting, the props and costumes, the Forbidden City, the grandeur of Chinese Tang Imperial family, the bold use of colours. In Chinese, big is good - this is definitely portrayed in this film.
