Hero

I've always been a "HERO TV Drama Serial" fan. I liked the 'human touch' of Takuya as a young prosecutor trying to fight for justice :) And I always enjoy seeing him pairing up with Takako Matsu. I liked her a lot as I think she's a very natural actress.

Its very touching when all of them worked hard to help Takuya fight his case to win that this person was the murderer of a man who was about to get married to his fiancee soon, but had to be the alibi for an ex-transport minister who was the prime suspect of a bribery case. Luckily through the sheer persistence of the team, they managed to bring justice back to the courts.

Right at the beginning, we see him as usual watching the Direct Marketing TV whereby he bought this Fabio's merchandise, but its all in Spanish, and hence, he had to learn Spanish in order to understand what he bought. And all the way to the last scene, he was still watching the Direct Marketing TV Channel. But this time, the shopkeeper bought the universal translator, which made the 2 stubborn 'lovers' confessed their true feelings for one another.

That was at last a nice ending... cos all this while, the 2 of them are only this close to getting the relationship started.

Korean hunk Lee Byung Hun's on-screen appearance was like less than 5 minutes! Pengzzzzzzzz.... the part about going to Pusan to find the car was quite "extra" lor....but at least the perserverance of the 2 influenced the Korean police officer who was their 'translator' to be mroe diligent in his work attitude!

I liked the simple storyline, and the fact that it has its funny moments.

Luckily I caught the special TV Series on Ch U last Sunday, or I would be at a loss.... as this is actually a continuation from that TV Series!

Takuya is stil so good-looking despite the fact that he's already 30+, married & has 2 kids!!!

成长… …

最近一直在想；“到底在为什么而活？”

小时候，在没有压力的情况下，总幻想着以后长大了要当兽医、考古学家、太空人、音乐家、老师、或餐厅侍应生。

到了中学毕业后，也没有真正想过，自己要的是什么。好想学音乐，但又不知道这是可以养活自己的一份行业。想学设计，又不知道自己到底有没有这种天分，因为我怕一遇到瓶颈就会垂头丧气。

渐渐的，我也不知道自己到底要什么。想追求梦想，但，又得顾虑到现实。现实，为什么往往都是那么地残酷？而快乐，为什么随着成长就越来越罕见？快乐的时光总在瞬间消失， 接踵而来的是一些你必须面对的“战斗”，经过了人生的风风雨雨，才能从中得到成长的启示。

真的需要在成长中面临种种考验才能变坚强、变勇敢吗？只要有伤过，伤痕是永远不会磨灭的。

大人的世界太不单纯、太多污染，总让人难以呼吸，不能做真正的自己。
大人的脚步太匆忙，迈开大步追求的未来，只有衰老， 最后可能后悔迷失自己。

好想放慢脚步，卸下包袱，不要这么快长大，这么快衰老，这么快迷失自己，这么快从小时候的梦想醒来。

或许从现在开始，我应该用心想一想- 我真正要追寻的是什么？我还要为别人而活，还是为自己打算？

这次，我想找回迷失的自己，追求自己想要的真理，然后用自己的方式去成长。

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang yesterday and found it very entertaining and amusing.

The audience were very spontaneous, and there were a lot of children around (mostly foreigners...)

The storyline was an interesting one. The 'Vulgarians' stole the show as the trusted 'spies' of the Baron Bomburst & Baronness of Vulgaria tried to steal the car from the eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts.

The lines are very funny. I particularly liked the part when the 2 spies Goran & Boris were devising a plan to cheat the British to hand over the car. In order for them to hide their Vulgarian identity, they have to act British. Goran - the shorter spy - said "I've got a Vulgar heart, I've got a Vulgar mind, and I speak Vulgar English! ", to which Boris - the taller spy - replied "Ah! No! That would make you American!" hahahaha... it was so hilarious!

Then the Baron loves toys... but the Baronness hates children. At the slight mention of the word "CHILDREN" and she would throw herself into a 'fit'... that's why in Vulgaria, there's a "SUPPRESSION OF CHILDREN LAW". That's why there's a childcatcher, which everyone BOOED at the end of the performance...

The car was really really cool! It operates by manners... If you said "PLEASE", it would respond to your pleas. So cute! I find the backdrop truly amazing when the car fell off the cliff and then suddenly, it grew wings and flew.... dat's so amazing!!!

I also liked the windmill backdrop... when night falls and the stars are up in the sky.

Names of the characters are quite cute too. Caractacus Potts was in love with this lady called "Truly Scrumptious", whose father owns a food-making factory. His father named the other 2 daughters "Madly Scrumptious" & "Deeply Scrumptious" & the brother was "Seriously Scrumptious".

Overall, I really loved the musical.
