Birdy - 1901 Official MV [Music Weekend]

2012-02-11T14:20:00.001+08:00

Birdy - 1901

Since it's weekend I am gonna share with you all one of my favourite music artist. Birdy has a unique voice that I can remember and it just sounds nice. Consider same genre with some of Yuna & Zee Avi's songs?

Just recently, Birdy's new video for 1901 is now out! It was filmed in London on Brick Lane and in a wonderful guitar shop called Hanks. The emotional video plays out the story of a couple experiencing trouble with their relationship.

In first few months/years, usually a couple is as sweet as this hugging each other while sleeping

After years, couple decided to just sleep like this without hugging/cuddle.

When time passed, sometimes they have doubt about each other.

If you've reach this stage, what would you do? Will you still preserve your love? How?

This is actually a common thing that happens between couple and I guess for couple who has been together for so long, must remember to re-ignite the "love fire" that you used to like and appreciate. Or else, each other will eventually take things for granted and ends up break up because of feeling bored.

Valentine's day is coming soon, some loving couple will give each other a special gift(yeah I am still planning nyahaha) but some will break up (according to a survey result that I've seen). Well, I hope you are the one giving each other a surprise, no matter what present you give, that's thought that count =)

Now please watch the MV below for Birly - 1901:

I quite like 1901's MV featuring a couple from super loving to having doubt with each other. Quite artistic too. Hmmm...If only I can snap this kind of video =)

Birdy - A girl with voice that have soul

"English singer/pianist Jasmine van den Bogaerde, who goes by the stage name “Birdy,” was born in 1996 in Lymington, Hampshire. Precocious from the very start, Bogaerde began composing her own songs at the age of seven, and by 12 had secured the top spot (out of 10,000 competitors) at 2008’s Open Mic UK, a popular live music competition that rewards the winner with a recording contract. In January of 2011, she released her first single, a cover of American indie rock outfit Bon Iver's “Skinny Girl,” which peaked at number 17 on the U.K. pop charts. Her eponymous full-length debut, released through Atlantic Records, arrived later that November."

The Descendant 香火 NTV7 2012 Blockbuster Drama Series

2012-02-09T21:55:00.003+08:00

The Descendant 香火Starting 9th February, every Monday to Thursday at 10 p.m., only on ntv7

ntv7 《香火》预告片 The Descendant Trailer

After watch the trailer it makes me feel so stressed about how thing turns out just because they want to continue the bloodline in past century. Luckily now time has changed and it is not that traditional and strict anymore. The Descendant is actually a good success to see quality drama series produced by local production crews and actors. Hope Malaysia entertainment will become better and more awesome in future time!

"剧长30集的《香火》，以制香厂的大家族为故事背景，剧情将会回朔20年代至60 年代的制香业情景。本剧以制香厂的大家族为背景，探讨继承人应属亲生骨肉，抑或能者居之？而一个传统的制香家族，潜藏着人性悲观的宿命论。一对被命运作弄的姐妹，同时爱上了一个为家族延续香火，也将家族推向灭亡的男人，3人错综复杂的关系，因此点燃了纠缠不清的宿命火苗。"

#####################################

Press conference was held to celebrate the premiere of The Descendant. Below are the actor and cast who attended.

[L-R] Frederick Lee, Leslie Chai, Brenda Chiah, Debbie Goh, Tan Hau Yen, Yeo Yann Yann, Steve Yap and Kyo Chen

What is it that makes period dramas appeal to the audience as big productions just like ntv7’s first blockbuster period drama, Age Of Glory, which garnered explosive ratings in the past? The answer lies within the strong line-up of cast that is coupled with a dramatic plot and major efforts made into customising sets, make-up, hairdos, costumes, and dialogues. With a high benchmark set by its predecessors including Golden Awards 2010 Best Drama Series, The Iron Lady, ntv7’s latest period drama – The Descendant 香火 – which will air beginning 9th February, every Monday to Thursday at 10 p.m., takes no easy approach in its production.

Infused with new, groundbreaking elements, The Descendant makes history with the strongest pairing of cast ever in a local Chinese drama series with both award winning actresses, Yeo Yann Yann (Golden Awards 2010 Best Actress) and Debbie Goh (Golden Awards 2010 Most Popular Actress), taking the leading roles in this epic series. Joining them are Steve Yap, Frederick Lee, Leslie Chai, Brenda Chiah, Kyo Chen, Tan Hau Yen, and Ernest Chong (Golden Awards 2010 Best Supporting Actor).

Shot in various locations including Penang, Klang, and Kuala Lumpur, the 30-episode drama series spans from the 1920s – 1960s. Setting against the backdrop of the incense-making industry, the drama revolves around the conflicts of three generations of a large family.

The Descendant Synopsis:
A teacher in the rural area, Chen Yu Lin (starring Steve Yap) is forced to return to his homeland and is destined to marry Shen Dan Fang (starring Yeo Yann Yann) to inherit the family business after the merger of both families’ incense-making business. For the sake of his family business, Yu Lin has made an agreement with his father-in-law so that the first son that he bore with Dan Fang would be given her surname in order to ensure the Shen bloodline.

On the day of the wedding, Yu Lin is shocked to realise that his lover from the rural area, Shen Yu Hua (starring Debbie Goh), is none other than his wife’s younger sister. Unable to accept the fact, Yu Hua and Yu Lin could only bury their emotions deep down.

An ill-fated Yu Hua has been deemed as a jinx since her birth and has been entrusted by her father into the hands of her nanny. Dan Fang takes pity in her sister and begs her father to let Yu Hua come home. However, having met each other daily, Yu Hua and Yu Lin could hardly contain their feelings and commit adultery eventually. Angered by it, the father of Dan Fang and Yu Hua becomes seriously ill and subsequently passes away. Blaming Yu Hua for the death of their father and for the damage done to her marriage, Dan Fang drives her sister away from home. Yu Lin becomes remorseful for his actions and tries to numb himself with work.

While Yu Lin and Dan Fang deal with their marriage problems, their enemy, Jin De Tang challenges them to an incense contest, and manages to steal the “Best Incense” title from Yu Lin. A guilt-stricken Yu Lin could hardly eat or sleep, and end up dying in despair. On the day of Yu Lin’s funeral, Yu Hua returns home, and when a devastated Dan Fang learns that Yu Hua is pregnant with Yu Lin’s child, she locks her up in their house.

Dan Fang at first wishes to kill Yu Hua’s child, but after being dissuaded by her mother-in-law, she promises to let Yu Hua gives birth to the child. Nevertheless, the baby dies in childbirth and this devastates Yu Hua gravely.

Eight years later, thinking that her own karma has killed the child, Yu Hua has been faithfully dedicating her time in praying. Dan Fang has now become the owner of the family’s business after the passing of her husband. Her children are already grown up and married: the eldest son, Shen Siang Hai (starring Leslie Chai) has gained the trust of the mother and is set to take over the family business, but Dan Fang’s eldest daughter, Chen Shan Shu (starring Brenda Chiah) and youngest son, Chen Siang Yang (starring Kyo Chen), are upset by it and try many times to usurp power. Siang Yang’s brother-in-law, Wen Shang Qin (starring Ernest Chong) also gangs up with Shan Shu and Siang Yang to go against the poor Siang Hai.

Meanwhile, a kind-hearted Siang Hai takes in an orphan, Gou Zhai (starring Tan Hau Yen). Impressed by his intelligence, he gets the boy to work for him. Dan Fang grows to like Gou Zhai and stubbornly wishes to make him her godson despite protests from her children. On the day of making him her godson, the loyal housekeeper, Chen Gui (starring Frederick Lee) who harbours feelings for Yu Hua, informs her of Gou Zhai’s identity. Knowing that Dan Fang still has hatred against her, Yu Hua refrains from acknowledging the boy as her son. Nevertheless, Siang Hai later perishes in the fire while trying to save Gou Zhai, and his parentage is thus exposed.

Dan Fang is shocked to learn that Gou Zhai is Yu Hua’s son, and her attitude towards him changes greatly since. Yu Hua sees her son being tortured and abused, and begins to hold a grudge against Dan Fang. To protect Gou Zhai, she resorts to ruthless measures in harming Dan Fang and her children in her attempt to make him the new towkay.

#############################

In her speech at the press conference today, Lai Cheah Yee, Manager (Brand Management Group) of ntv7 pointed out the uniqueness of this drama series and its significant storyline which is said to be close to the hearts of the Chinese. “The Descendant discusses issues such as superstitions, destinies, feng shui, and even sexist beliefs prevalent in Chinese society,” said Cheah Yee.

“Its Chinese title, ‘Xiang Huo’, literally ‘the burning of incense’, denotes the meaning of ‘descendant’ and ‘heir’, thus reflecting the main premise of the drama about the Chinese conservative thinking on inheritance and bloodline,” she added.

Debbie Goh was sharing her experience while casting and being cruely hit by Yann Yann. After that, Yann Yann bought a massage machine as an apology of being in the drama character too much.

Yeo Yann Yann and Debbie Goh who attended the press conference were seen shedding tears after the preview of the trailer. “When I was watching the trailer, I wasn’t thinking the fact that I played the character but instead I can feel for my character as she went through lots of adversities,” said Yann Yann.

“Debbie and I were emotionally drained out after filming this series. I was so worn-out that I slept so much during my holiday after that. It was really an experience!” added Yann Yann.

One may assume that a huge production as this will require expertise from other countries. The Descendant however, is an entirely local production from screenplay, screenwriter, to director and actors. Meanwhile, the local Chinese drama series which air during primetime on ntv7, has continuously recorded high ratings for year 2011. “We are very encouraged by the numbers and we look forward to more quality local productions and what better way to honour the most gifted and skilled talents in the Malaysian Chinese TV industry and at the same time, bring the industry to higher standards and recognition from its regional and worldwide peers with the upcoming Golden Awards which will be held for the second time after its inaugural in 2010,” said Cheah Yee.

Don’t forget to catch ntv7’s 2012 blockbuster mega drama series, The Descendant, starting 9th February, every Monday to Thursday at 10 p.m., only on ntv7, the Home of Feel Good.

For more information on the show, log on to www.ntv7.com.my and www.tonton.com.my, or follow the ntv7 Facebook and Twitter.

Yeo Yann Yann admit that she really "hate" the whole family while acting in the show.

Courtesy of Nuffnang and Inspire.M E I was able to meet Wong Fu Productions a day before the Mini Symposium+Wong Fu 4 Lyfe organized at Taylor Lakeside.

Philip Wang 王振翔
Talkative and very willing to share. Potential actor with many expressions too
(Refer to the video at the end of this post)

Wesley Chan 陈德伟

Consider quiet during the press conference but when Wes talk you get to hear some quote from him.

Why Ted Fu wasn't here? Due to last minute personal issue they said

Well, my personal opinion is you'll know why Ted wasn't here once you saw Awkward Penguin, Elephant and Frog released during Wong Fu visit to Malaysia.

Philip being illuminated with Blue spotlights (his favourite color according to Wong Fu fans around me)

Guess who is favoring Wesley and Philip?
Tips: They are wearing their favourite color lol

Philip and Wesley have quite good tacit understanding taking turns to speak/answer a question.

While listening to question from the media

It is easy to see Philip smile but not Wesley. So this picture is even more precious now hahaha

All right more pictures of Philip and Wesley below. I am sure the scene will be more funny if Ted Fu is here. Just noticed Ted is the eldest but he looks young though =)

Wong Fu Productions Live In Malaysia Interview [Part 1]

Here's some questions and responses recorded during the interview with Wesley and Philip from Wong Fu Productions. They've tried Chicken Rice and Satay thought they arrived in Malaysia less than 24 hours, and this is what keep Wesley motivated. You must watch this video if you are a future film-maker/YouTuber who want to be success. Basically their advises to film-makers is to continue provide quality content and learn how to market yourself/video.

"If you wanna be famous very fast, just do something stupid", that's what Philip said.

"Don't expect overnight success", that's what Wesley said.

There's another session of private interview for media so please stay tune for my next post!

Wong Fu Productions has been trying their best to give what their fans/audience like. Now they are trying to find a balance by juggling between create more quality contents and meet the Wong Fu Fans around the world at the same time. Wong Fu did say that they will keep expanding and hopefully can "fulfill" both at the same time.

Hope you guys (especially Wong Fu fans) like the photos I captured and posted here and do visit my FB Page for more of their photos!

PS: Dear Wong Fu, if you happen to see this would you mind to share it with your readers and awesome fans? Cheers! That's what keep me motivated to take more beautiful pictures and videos!

Adele Live @ Royal Albert Hall Warner Music Malaysia Private Screening

2012-02-06T16:05:00.007+08:00

Adele Live @ Royal Albert Hall CD+DVD Review

"It is never too late to share good music with friends especially you who reading it now! On 22nd December 2011 we see the release of Adele's "Live At The Royal Albert Hall" concert film. It has been an incredible year for Adele, starting with her No1 album "21," her Number 1 single "Someone Like You," the global smash hits "Rolling In The Deep" and her spellbinding live appearance on The Brits.

Her album "21" has become the biggest selling album in the world this year with 13 million copies sold and counting while "21" and "19" remain the UK's 1st and 2nd highest selling albums so far. She has received rave reviews for her live shows and "Live At The Royal Albert Hall," recorded at the height of this amazing year, showcases exactly why Adele has become one of the most sought after live performers in the world. On the 1st Dec, Adele received six Grammy nominations which include Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance.

Live at Royal Albert Hall debuted at number one in the United States with 96,000 copies sold, the highest one-week tally for a music dvd in four years. After one week, Live at Royal Albert Hall became the best-selling music DVD of 2011. This makes Adele the first artist in Nielsen Sound Scan history to have the year's number one album, the year's number one single, and the year's number one music dvd."

#########################

Courtesy of Warner Music Malaysia I was invited to a private screening to watch Adele perform live at Royal Albert Hall in this cinema hall. Nice efforts by WMMalaysia and it would be really great experience if without the technical glitches.

PS: Sidelined since early October to deal with vocal cord trauma, British singer Adele will return to performing shape at the Feb. 12 Grammy Awards. Whether the artist would be cleared to sing after undergoing November surgery had remained one of the biggest questions heading into the ceremony, to be held at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Yet the Recording Academy put speculation that Adele would sing on the telecast to bed Tuesday morning, announcing that the singer would perform for the first time in nearly five months on the Grammy stage.

"It's an absolute honor to be included in such a night, and for it to be my first performance in months is very exciting and of course nerve-racking, but what a way to get back into it all," Adele said in a statement. Adele told The Times she hoped to have future opportunities to win a Grammy.

Adele Live @ Royal Albert Hall CD+DVD Review
I've been listening to Adele's Live At Royal Albert Hall Concert CD and she has a really awesome voice to be recorded down and share with more music lover. By watching the Concert DVD you won't feel missed the concert at all =) Adele do have a unique laugh and good at telling jokes hahaha. I wish Adele will able to perform at the upcoming Grammy and of course win Grammy too!

Highly recommend you guys to get this Adele Live @ Royal Albert Hall [DVD+CD] if you like a singer with true talents and sing with emotions. Yes, she made one of her dream came true =)

My personal favourite songs is "Don't You Remember", Set Fire to the Rain", "Someone Like You" where you saw she cried and of course "Rolling In the Deep" =)

2012-02-05T01:38:00.007+08:00

Today was awesome to have Wong Fu Productions Philip & Wesley in Malaysia sharing their film making experience and of course answer tons of Wong Fu Fans' questions ended with an encouragement shout-out to all film makers not to give up easily when you feel down as three of them are there to support you guys in spirit. Here's some photos sneak peek:

Philip and Wesley together on stage sharing their filming knowledge not forgetting to tell us some jokes (and little drama between them).

Wong Fu Productions' Wesley and Philip enjoying the videos self-produced by Malaysian awesome film-maker!! I really like the 2nd and 3rd video being shown =) Can see they put in lots of efforts and creativity in it!

She is one of the WF fans who made a video and won the passes to mini symposium + answered a question + great gift + hug from Wesley and Philip.

Later then Meet & Greet Session where Wong Fu Fans posing up with "WONG FU 4 LYFE"!

Malaysia Wong Fu fans are really lucky to able to hug both Philip and Wesley during the meet and greet session =) Of course, Wes and Philip are even luckier being hug by tons of girls. They do hope that they can get to know all the fans but time are limited so just a greet and hug. If you happen to hug them both, PRESS THE FB LIKE BUTTONS for more video footage and photos!

PS: Thuubs up to WF fans who use video recording mode instead of trying to camwhore with them. It just capture more and tell more story =)

All right I need to accompany the "awkward" duck at Taylor Lakeside in my dreamland. Give me some time to compose a well arranged and organize blog post for Wong Fu Productions Live In Malaysia x Wong Fu 4 Lyfe!!

Thanks again to Inspire.ME, Nuffnang and other parties who brought WFP to Malaysia =)
