It has been ages...

It has been ages since my last blog entry.  

I have almost forgotten about its existence until the recent meeting with a major developer when they asked me what I’ve gotten to show them – outside of work, since I mentioned I like writing.  And they asked me to show them my blog, if it’s not too much of rudeness.   It was indeed a bit intrusive but oh well, I shared.  And they were surprised I did some of my entries in Chinese.   Well yes, I think I can safely say I’m effectively bilingual, as compared to many people out there.


It has been ages since I last go so ga-ga over a drama series; and it has also been ages since I last bawled my eyes out upon watching TV shows.  

Come to think of it, bawling your eyes out could be quite liberating.  At least, I felt that way. OK, minus the super swollen eyes thereafter.  Surprisingly, this drama is not even my usual favourite TVB dramas.  It’s a China production, together with some Taiwanese and Hong Kong artistes.  Heard a DJ mention the show a few times over a few mornings, and thought I might just check it out.  And then, by the 2nd episode, I’m dead hooked.   Yes, dead hooked.  Such that I couldn't wait to knock off work to go home continue to watch it.   And the songs from the drama are on loop at work.  

I’ve always enjoyed watching periodic dramas since young.  The costumes and hair accessories for ladies are just so pretty – maybe that explained why I also always enjoyed my Chinese Dance performances.   I missed performing.  And then because of this drama, I started reading up on Chinese history again.  And so, there is really a 兰陵王 in 公元541年- 573年.... 

Hmmm… I still want to go China see those 兵马俑!
