Namie Amuro - Love Story

noreply@blogger.com (Lady Jan) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 04:47:00 +0000

I'm currently watching Japanese drama "Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu" and loves it as it is really entertaining and i love the theme song of the drama by Namie Amuro. She is one of my favorite Japanese singer and the last time Amuro provided a theme song for a ‘Getsu9′ drama was in January 1997 when ”Can You Celebrate?” was used in drama "Virgin Road".

"Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu" is like the Japanese version of "Sex & The City" and talks about 3 friends searching for love and supporting each other along the way and i admire the close bond shared by the 3 friends in the drama as they do have their disagreements living together but they are still friends at the end of the day and will always be there if one of them is in trouble. It is not always easy in real life to find true friends who will always be there for you and truly cares for you and do treasure them if you have them around you ;) I have encounter people who are just friends in name and does the disappearing act when you need them or are just too self centered to care about others and only live in a 'me' world. I'm glad i have some close pals whom i know will always be there for me and i will also be there for them. We do not meet up frequently as everyone is busy with work and family but it is always a joy when we find time to hang out together :)

In "Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu", Karina plays the main character Fujii Emi, an employee of a lighting company who is secretly in love with her ex boyfriend cum long time buddy and workmate and finds it annoying to look for new love. Her roommates are played by Yoshitaka Yuriko and AKB48’s Oshima Yuko. Will write more about the drama when i find the time as am busy going for Chinese New Year gatherings recently and have also been down with a bad cough and the medications makes me drowsy. Guess i have to cut down on all the feastings during this Chinese New Year period.

Pine Garden's new product for the Chinese New Year, the Yam Paste Tri-Layer Chiffon Cake was featured on the Sunday Times in early January and caught my attention as i love yam paste and hubby agree to buy the cake for me :). I ordered the cake and other Chinese New Year goodies online to share with my family during Chinese New Year and we all love the cake's festive design and that it is really light and tasty and not too sweet. My mum is even planning to order it next year ;) I'm hoping Pine Garden will make it a regular item so that i can order it again for family gatherings. Hubby and i also love its Seaweed Folds and Steam Glutinous Rice which is really delicious and we could not stop munching on the Seaweed Folds while watching the Chinese New Year variety shows on Cable TV.

Lovely Makeover Session @ Shiseido Metro Causeway Point :)

noreply@blogger.com (Lady Jan) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 03:13:00 +0000

I went for my belated birthday makeover at Shiseido Metro Causeway Point yesterday before meeting my family for lunch there. The beauty consultant who did my makeover was really nice and helpful and i had purchased some products recently at the Metro's Sales from her and she had promised to do my makeover for me yesterday :)

Took a picture halfway through my makeover :)

Makeover done and picture taken during lunch

Picture taken when home. I'm really satisfied with the makeover and could not resist taking a picture with my lovely Yam Paste Triple Layer Chiffon Cake from Pine Garden :)

I appreciate that the beauty consultant took the time to give me useful tips on how to apply nice eye makeups for the Chinese New Year using the eyeshadow colors i bought recently and she also showed me the correct way of blending the colors.

I seldom use eye makeup as i find it too troublesome and just focus on using skincare products and light makeup. I normally just apply either my Biotherm BB cream or my SK-II Cellumination Pancake and lip gloss when i'm rushing for time but i love how applying some mascara and eyeliner helps to make my eyes look bigger and nicer during special occasions although hubby prefers me with no eye makeup as he said he is used to my natural look hehe :)

My mum even thought that i had put on false eyelashes after the makeover as the mascara used for the makeover was really great at lengthening and adding volume to my lashes and i bought it too so that i can use it for the Chinese New Year. I can't wait for Chinese New Year to arrive soon so that i can wear all the pretty new clothes i bought and catch up with my cousins during our family gatherings and play our yearly poker games hehe ;)

My newly purchased Perfect Mascara Defining Volume S$46

I bought this makeup remover pencil which cost only S$10 when i went Sephora recently and it will come in handy if i make any mistakes when applying my eye makeup ;)

Lovely My Melody Chinese New Year Decorations From Sanrio @ Takashimaya :)

Japanese Drama - Strawberry Night

noreply@blogger.com (Lady Jan) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 01:23:00 +0000

All of the interesting Japanese dramas that i have been following in end 2011 like "Kaseifu no Mita" and Nazotoki no Dinner Ato De" have ended and it is time to look for more interesting Japanese dramas to start watching in 2012. I'm looking forward to watching Nanako's new drama "Lucky Seven" after her superb acting in "Kaseifu no Mita". Another Japanese drama i'm looking forward to watching is "Hungry" starring Mukai Osamu and he is really popular in Japan nowadays and really cute. I will post more information about the dramas soon. I'm also planning to watch Korean drama "Take Care Of Us, Captain" starring my favorite Korean actor Ji Jin Hee and Koo Hye Sun and i will write more about it soon.

There are several interesting new dramas currently showing in Japan and one of my favorite and "must watch" is this police drama "Strawberry Night" starring actress Takeuchi Yuko as a police detective. This Fuji TV drama started showing in Japan on 10 January, every Tuesday nights and the first episode already started off with a great viewer rating of 16.8%, the best start of all the new dramas thus far. In 2010, the drama special of ‘Strawberry Night‘ marked Takeuchi Yuko’s first starring role as a female detective, which was well-received by the viewers. She has always been acting in a sweetie pie or damsel in distress role and it is refreshing seeing her acting as a hot shot female detective and i enjoyed watching the special and looks forward to watching the drama. You can watch it online at (http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-drama/strawberry-night/).

Neat and clean actress Takeuchi Yuko tried out the role of a detective for the first time in the 2010 drama special, “Strawberry Night“, and she has reprised this role for a full-fledged drama adaption this year. You can watch the special at (http://www.mysoju.com/japanese-drama/strawberry-night/) if you miss it last year. Takeuchi plays the role of Himekawa Reiko, a non-career female detective who still managed to climb up the ranks in very short time. Her biggest weapon is her incredibly sharp intuition that enables her to know the feelings of a criminal better than the criminal himself. It’s a fresh role, depicting a female detective that is cold, powerful, in some moments, graceful, and yet oh so fragile due to her past.

The drama special was based on Honda Tetsuya’s best-selling novel, “Strawberry Night”, about a mysterious serial murder case. The drama serial will continue his novel series about Himekawa Reiko, adopting the stories from many of his other installments. Takeuchi is absolutely enthused about this project. She commented, “One characteristic of a drama serial are the guest appearances in each of the episodes and I can’t wait to work with all the guest actors. Further ‘Strawberry Night’ will become much more powerful thanks to the new members of the team, so it might be even more fun this time.”

Several key characters from the drama special will reprise their roles in the drama serial as well, including Takeda Tetsuya, Nishijima Hidetoshi, and Ukaji Takashi. Other familiar faces will once again be played by Namase Katsuhisa, Takashima Masahiro, Endo Kenichi, Watanabe Ikkei, and Tsugawa Masahiko. It was also announced that Koide Keisuke was added to the cast as one of the new members at the police station.

Maruyama Ryuhei will be the second new addition to the team next to Koide Keisuke. His role will be that of a rookie detective and mood maker of the new investigation unit. It’s also Maruyama’s first time portraying the role of a detective. He commented, “I’m getting very nervous, knowing that this drama is based on such popular novels (by Honda Tetsuya). Just like my character, I’d like to live a life without forgetting how to enjoy it.”

The first episode starts with an incident which occurs while the members of “Team Himekawa” under Himekawa Reiko of the First Investigative Division’s Tenth Section are on stand by at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters. Yasufumi Yoneda caused a train accident 10 years ago, where the train overturned and killed more than 100 people. Now, Yasufumi Yoneda is found dead at the same location where the accident occurred. His body is severed into two symmetrical halves. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of death - was it suicide or murder? Reiko Himekawa and her team from the Metropolitan Police Department leads the investigation.

Reiko discovers that only a short time existed between Yasufumi's exit from a drinking establishment that he frequented and the time of his death. If Yasufumi was murdered, the crime was premeditated. Reiko also learns that Yasufumi talked in the drinking establishment about having to pay out 860 million yen to the victims in the train accident 10 years ago, including to the president of the victim's compensation group Mutsuo Ogawa (Kazu Murakami), who lost his eldest daughter in the accident, and Saneharu (Izumi Fujimoto).

Reiko and her team learns further that at that the time of train accident 10 years ago, station employee Kazutaka Tokuyama (Kenichi Takito) tried to save Saneharu before she was crushed to dead. After the incident, Kazutaka Tokuyama resigned. Reiko then spots a poster at the station where Kazutaka Tokuyama formerly worked. The poster depicts an image of a body symmetrically halved into two. Apparently, the painting was drawn by the former station employee Kazutaka Tokuyama.

Reiko then goes to Mutsuo Ogawa's home with Detective Kazuo Kikuta (Hidetoshi Nishijima). When they arrive, nobody answers the doorbell. When they touch the door, the door swings open. They go inside. Reiko then finds the dead body of Mutsuo Ogawa lying in the bathroom. The body is also halved into two symmetrical pieces. Reiko assumes that Yasufumi Yoneda and Mutsuo Ogawa were killed by the same person after spotting a particular piece of fabric on Mutsuo Ogawa that was also found on Yasufumi Yoneda.

After conducting further interviews with train accident survivors, Reiko is sure that Kazutaka Tokuyama is the person who killed Yasufumi Yoneda and Mutsuo Ogawa....

Lovely Red Packets For Chinese New Year :)

I have been busy spring cleaning my house and packing away clothes that i seldom wear in my wardrobe so that i can have more space for the new clothes that i bought for Chinese New Year ;) There is only one week left before Chinese New Year and i have fallen behind on my spring cleaning schedule since i was down with a bad cough and sore throat last week. The cough medication makes me drowsy and i have also been busy shopping with my mum and aunts and looking for nice Chinese New Year decorations for my house. I bought some new plants from Chong Pang and added some lovely decorations to my existing plants to brighten up my little gardening area. Hopefully i can squeeze in some time this week to go Chinatown to look for more nice decorations and also take some pictures of the lovely Chinese New Year displays to share with visitors of my blog. Time to go back to my cleaning before my medications starts to make me sleepy :) Popular Chinese drama "Startling By Each Step" also known as "Scarlet Heart" will be showing on Channel 8 at 7pm starting from tonight and do watch it as it is really entertaining and interesting.

Chinese Drama - Startling By Each Step 步步惊心

noreply@blogger.com (Lady Jan) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 06:32:00 +0000

This Chinese time traveling romance period drama starring popular TVB actor Kevin Cheng, singer actor Nicky Wu and China actress Liu Shi Shi will be premiering on local TV Channel 8 on 16 January 2011, 7pm every Mondays to Fridays and i highly recommends this drama :) I have been hooked on the drama since watching its first episode recently and hubby has also been watching it together with me and listening to its soundtrack. The show was searched on the Internet more than one million times in the first three days when it was shown in China last year. The drama's popularity in China has helped to boost the popularity of the main actors especially Nicky Wu whose portrayal of the cool (iced cube face) 4th Prince has won the heart of numerous females in China and there are also rumors online of a modern version of "Startling By Each Step 2" which will feature the original cast and filming will take place in the second part of 2012 and it seems Nicky Wu and Kevin Cheng have expressed interest in the drama. I'm hoping its true and hopefully it will have a happy ending for Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi's characters.

I seldom watch Chinese ancient dramas as i find some of the dramas too draggy or boring and was interested in this drama due to its interesting time traveling plot and lead actors. The drama started off with many funny and light moments of the main female lead's adventure in the Qing Dynasty but get heavier and sadder once the 4th Prince became Emperor Yongzheng and turns cruel and vengeful towards his brothers whom he feels had harmed those closed to him.

步步惊心 by Tong Hua first became popular through the Internet, attracting over 100 million impressions online. When it was eventually published as a book, it became an instant best-seller and secured a place in the literary circles as a classic of the time travel genre. Chinese actress Liu Shi Shi stars as the female lead in the drama and acts as a 25 year-old modern day woman who woke up from a car accident to find herself in the body of a 16 year-old Manchu girl living in the 18th century Qing Dynasty. In her new life, she became deeply entangled in Aisin Gioro princes’ battle for the throne. I love the songs featured in the drama especially Waiting For Your Season 等你的季节 which is a lovely song with touching lyrics and 三寸天堂 which is a really sad but beautiful song. I have included videos of the 2 songs above and the duet by Liu Shi Shi and Nicky Wu during the Hunan TV 2012 New Year Celebrations. There is a new edition of Tong Hua's novel which includes beautiful postcard from the drama and i have made an order from Kinokuniya as there is no stock at the moment and hopefully i will be able to start reading it when the stocks come in next month. I was told the book will not cost more than S$20/- which is cheaper than if i order it online and its definitely worth the wait ;)

Character Description:

Through a car accident, Zhang Xiao traveled back in time into a body of one of her previous reincarnations, a 16 years old aristocratic Manchu girl, Maertai Ruoxi, living in the Qing Dynasty. Although she knows she should not get involved in palace intrigues over the succession to the throne, she inadvertently becomes a pawn in the struggle, because she could not help but love someone, and others came to love her. Ruoxi finds herself becoming an observer of all the events taking place and is able to predict the future because she's from the future herself. She could not help being pulled into the events and falling for the 8th Prince and trying to prevent the tragic fate of 8th Prince.

Her sister in the incarnation is Ma'ertai Ruolan, who is a concubine of the Kangxi’s 8th son, Yinsi. Initially, Ruoxin tries to return to the future but after awhile adjusted to life in Kangxi's reign. While living in the past, she meets some of the emperor's other sons, including the 4th prince Yinzhen, 10th prince Yin'e, and 14th prince Yinti and formed a close platonic friendship with the 13th prince, Yinxiang. During Ruoxi stay at Yinsi's residence, the latter falls in love with her and she develops a crush with him as well. However, she rejects him due to her disapproval of polygamy and her sister's relationship with Yinsi.

Ruoxi eventually enter the Forbidden City and became Kangxi's lady-in-waiting. During an imperial hunting excursion, romance blossomed between Ruoxi and Yinsi. However Ruoxi wants Yinsi to give up the contest to be the next Qing emperor before accepting his marriage proposal. As a time traveler from the future, she is secretly aware of his fate: that his ambition would ultimately lead him to disgrace with his faction and expelled from the imperial household after Yinzhen succeeded as emperor and die in custody. Yinsi's refusal left her heartbroken. In a last-ditch effort to save Yinsi from his terrible fate, Ruoxi warn him to be wary of Yinzhen.

After Ruoxi's breakup with Yinsi, Ruoxi's interaction with Yinzhen changed her unfavorable opinion of the latter. Yinxiang reveals his observation that she has fallen, unknowingly in love with Yinzhen. Meanwhile, Yinsi's faction, heeding Ruoxi's advice framed Yinzhen for plotting against the crown prince, Yinreng, during an imperial court session so as to eliminate their potential adversary. At the critical junction, Yinxiang bravely step forward to take blame. Yinxiang is sentenced to ten years of solitary confinement. Ruoxi and the princes intercede for Yinxiang and before Kangxi relented. Yinxiang is placed under house arrest instead of solitary confinement. At this time, Yinsi realize Ruoxi is now romantically linked with Yinzhen.

Yinreng is demoted after his notorious crimes are discovered, and is sentenced to life imprisonment. Kangxi began to show preference for the 14th prince, Yinti, and eventually bestow Ruoxi to him. Her bold refusal to obey Kangxi’s order upsets him. As a punishment, she is demoted and transferred to the laundry department.

(SPOILER ALERT)

Yinzhen decides he must succeed his father in order to save Yinxiang and Ruoxi. His cunning schemes made Kangxi distrust Yinsi and favor Yinti. Kangxi eventually die of illness and Yinzhen staged a coup and became Yongzheng Emperor with military support from Longkeduo and Nian Gengyao. As emperor, Yinzhen set Yinxiang free and made Ruoxi his lady-in-waiting and also begins a romantic relationship with her. However, Ruoxi's happiness is greatly marred by Yinzhen's paranoid and his ruthless suppression of Yinsi and his faction. Ruoxi is often caught in the middle among Yinzhen and Yinsi's supporters. Yinsi's wife, Guoluoluo Minghui, reveals to Ruoxi that her husband had schemed against Yinzhen based on Ruoxi’s warning years ago. A shocked Ruoxi realizes, under a predestination paradox that she is the inadvertent instigator of the tragedy she had tried to avoid in the first place. Her despair results in a miscarriage and weakened health.

An enraged Yinzhen blames Yinsi and Minhui for the miscarriage and Ruoxi's critical illness. He issues an edict forcing Yinsi to divorce Minhui as punishment. Minhui committed suicide after the divorce. Ruoxi, fears Yinzhen's punitive actions against his brothers, decides to tell Yinzhen and Yinxiang the truth. Yinzhen is stunned by her revelation and realizes why Yinsi plotted against him during the succession struggles. In a fit of anger, Yinzhen began treating Ruoxi coldly. Unable to take the stress of Yinzhen's distances, Ruoxi asks Yinti to help her leave the palace. Yinti presents the late Kangxi's decree that bestows Ruoxi to him as his wife to a shocked Yinzhen. Yinsi knew Yinzhen will not allow Ruoxi to leave with or without the decree decides to intervene. Yinsi seeks an audience with Yinzhen and reveals details of his past romance with Ruoxi. An angry Yinzhen finally allow Ruoxi to leave the Forbidden City.

Despite Yinti's excellent care, Ruoxi’s mental anguish and broken heart affects her frail health. Ruoxi begs Yinti to send a letter to Yinzhen, requesting for a final meeting before she dies. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding between Yinzhen and Yinti causes the letter to be discarded. Ruoxi struggles to stay alive to see Yinzhen. After three days of waiting, she concludes Yinzhen's absence verifies that his love for her is over. Heartbroken, Ruoxi die sadly in Yinti's arm. When official news of her death reaches Yinzhen, he wails in grieve and rushes to Yinti’s residence with Yinxiang. Yinzhen regrets his actions after realizing Ruoxi remains very much in love with him. Her prized possessions were his gifts, a hairpin, snuff box and an arrow. Yinzhen and Yinxiang pensively scatter Ruoxi's ashes in the wind to honor her last wish.

In 2011, Zhang Xiao regains consciousness in a hospital. She is informed she was in a coma for weeks after the accident, leaving her to wonder whether the experiences at the 18th century were real or otherwise. After recovering, Zhang researches Kangxi's sons about their fate and Ma'ertai Ruoxi's existence, finding that history remains in its proper course: including that Yinsi died in custody as a disgrace after found guilty that he allegedly endangered the stability of the dynasty, Yinxiang succumbed to his illness with his family by his death bed, and Yinzhen also met his own ends after thirteen years reign as Yongzheng Emperor. However, there are apparently no records of Ma'ertai Ruoxi. She later visits a museum displaying artifacts from the Qing Dynasty. To her amazement, Zhang is able to relate to the many artifacts on display. The lady-in-waiting within Kangxi Emperor's family portrait who strikingly resembles Zhang herself is wearing a hairpin, the same one she got from Yinzhen when she was living in the past as Ma'ertai Ruoxi, thus verifies her time travel experiences during the coma.

Meanwhile a man bearing an uncanny resemblance to Yinzhen also visits the exhibit and they have a brief encounter. Even though the man did not recognize her, Zhang Xiao is unable to restrain her emotion and burst into tears after seeing him. However, Zhang Xiao is later again having heartbreak as the man walked away from her, leaving her sadly alone and reminisces her past romance with Yinzhen as Ma'ertai Ruoxi....
