如果没有机会，有再多的实力也没有用

+I've modified the blogskin a little, and added a new banner!
Oh well.

+Recently, I've been watching this taiwanese drama “爱就宅一起”, starring 杨丞琳, 汪东城, 胡宇崴, 金勤 and Linda!

+Haha, you guys will probably know all about this series due to all of its crazy promotion in Singapore early this year. I'm watching this series because I've been watching in Singapore halfway before I got sent here. Hmph.

+The series starts of as more of a comedy, with Rainie Yang being the 宅女 陈默默, who stays at home all day, has very few friends - actually just 1, played by George Hu 加森 - and is obsessed with the comic series Prince Cashaba 卡沙巴王子. MARS 庄俊男(?!)- played by Jiro Wang - is a superstar who is no longer popular, comes into her life one day when he is stranded with no where to live.

+They also go to the same university, which makes things even more interesting as MARS, though unpopular, is still very much a celebrity. He causes a stir and fuss everywhere he goes and sometimes it gets to his head and hilarious consequences follow.

+The case is entirely different for Chen Momo, however, as she floats around the school like a ghost, and her teachers and friends address her as “那个陈···”, where at this point she would finish the sentence herself, “陈默默。” In one scene, her classmates didn't even know she exists. Isn't it sad?

+MARS' sole purpose is to propel himself back to super-stardom again. That said, however, he is actually a person with backbone and refuses to rely on others on his way to fame. For example, he turns down a female director who asks him to 脱, declines to go to a party hosted by a classmate whose uncle is a famous director, and rejected collaborating with his ex-girlfriend who somehow achieved superstar status.

+In doing all these and more, MARS and Momo slowly and unknowingly fall in love with each other. Yet what is an 偶像剧 without a love triangle right? Momo's 青梅竹马 Jiasen openly professes his love to her and catches her off guard. So what will Momo do...?

+An entertaining watch, really, on the whole. What I liked about this show is that it gives us a glimpse into the entertainment industry. Tony哥, a super manager, is played by 包小柏, who in real life, probably manages some artistes himself. Some of the best lines include:

“在这个圈子，人们只是在乎你红不红，根本不在乎你是怎么红的。”
“我们在等待的就是这个机会，不是吗？”
“道歉就是低个头而已嘛，你就当演戏啊。”

and my favourite:
“如果没有机会，有再多的实力也没有用。”

+No, I'm not refering to myself, but to thousands of people who one-day, wish to carve a name for themselves. What everyone is waiting for is a chance. The most recent event that got me thinking about this is the One Million Star Singapore Challenge. Haiz~ (for Charlene, not me. =p)

+I also love this theme song from the series! (No, not 越来越爱)

远在身边

作词：藍小邪

不是每只船 都不怕流浪的孤单
可是它们仍扬起帆
因为心中 有个彼岸
也许有些路 注定要一个人走完
所以背包总是塞满 你所有温暖 很暖

原来你一直在我身边
不管距离多麽遥远
就算乌云在眼睛里不散
你的笑容让我灿烂

原来你就在我的身边
不管时间怎麽疏远
所以就算我飞上了云端
只要想像你住在我心里 我就心安

不是每片叶 都不怕坠落的遗憾
可是它们仍然飞翔
因为身後 树的期盼
也许有些梦 做起来才知道很难
可是一想到为了你 眼睛就不会 流汗
