Moving away.....

Hey guys,

I've decided to stop making posts on Blogger and move on to Wretch 無名小站...

I have moved all the posts worth moving and may just delete this blog in the near future...
Here's the address: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/sikakittykat

I'm liking it a lot so far... ^^

盧廣仲 Crowd Lu LIVE SHOW

Last night I went to see Lu Guangzhong.

What strikes me is that he is so down-to-earth!! The only thing that makes him different than the ordinary person is that he's got an amazingly cute and funny personality and he has a knack for writing songs that everyone and anyone falls head-over-heels in love for.

He's so happy all the time it's infectious, not annoying at all. I think I need someone like that in my life. I tend to get depressed a lot these days. A 陽光男 would be perfect for me haha ^_^

Probably my favorite of his new songs is 'I No'. I just thought it sounded good at first, but Guangzhong was talking about why he wrote it and all, and it now has new meaning for me. He says that a smile can make everything better. He said that when you smile, your heart opens up. WOW that's deep stuff right there.

So here's the MV (he's so cute in it).
My favorite lines are:
不知道該說什麼　讓你懂


希望時間能夠　替我說


就決定了　我們要用微笑面對

就算惡夢包圍整個世界

請別走開　愛一直在

你身邊

(eng)
I don't know what I can say    To let you understand
I hope time can     tell you for me
It's already decided    We are going to face this with a smile
Even if nightmares enwrap the entire world
Please don't leave    Love is always here
By your side.



OMG i want to cry this is so amazing.

The 3 周杰倫 Jay Chou songs that mean the most to me:

Sorry for lack of updates!

If you guys don't know already I'm a humongous fan of Jay Chou. He's my favorite Mandopop singer (AND composer AND lyricist andandandand...). Yeah I could go on and on about him, but I think I'll stop here.

This post is about the three Jay Chou songs that mean the most to me. They all have their own stories, and every time I listen to them I die (in a good way).

#1: 黑色幽默 Hei Se You Mo

(screenshot from the MV, which is definitely not one of my favorites of his MVs. But hey it was from a long time ago ^^)

This is the song that made me start loving Jay. It is the ONE that started it ALL. So of course, besides being an all-round beautiful song, written and composed by my Beloved (lol), it has sentimental value too.

#2: 軌跡 Gui Ji

This song was composed by Jay (lyrics aren't his) for the movie 尋找周杰倫 Xun Zhao Zhou Jie Lun, which I watched after some really tough school exams. I was worn out and depressed. Movies are the best medecine for when you're feeling down, I gotta tell ya :) So anyway, yeah. I watched the movie, in which he had a cameo. It's actually a really good movie, with an original plot (albeit it is a bit strange at times...) and talented actors. BUT back to the song. It was played many times throughout the movie, and it just stuck with me. The sad melody and tear-jerking lyrics became the theme song for that period of blues for me. It just made me feel a lot better. So yeah. That's why it means a lot to me. It got me through some hard times.

Come to think of it. I listen to Jay when I'm happy, sad and angry. He helps me get through it all :) <3

#3: 楓 Feng

A very special person showed me this song. I immediately fell in love with it, because it is an amazing song, and... that person was equally amazing <3 I listened to it over and over and over again. Now, things are very different between us, but the memories that I remember whenever I listen to this song remain just as sweet as when they were made. Every time I hear this song I smile :')

So there you go :)

And I want to thank everyone that has been supporting me on Youtube, all the anonymous viewers of this blog (I love you despite the fact that I have no idea whether you actually read this blog or if you were just passing by), and the few, but special people that left comments here.

It all means a lot. Thanks :)

Movie Review: Yang Yang 陽陽

Just finished watching this movie, so my impression should be pretty fresh.

The plot:

The movie begins with the marriage of Yang Yang's mother. Her biological father is French man whom she's never met before. Actually, the very first scene is of her crying. That is where the pain all begins, but at first you don't know it. She seems to have a great new life, but things keep happening to her, she falls in love with her step-sister's boyfriend, who has a thing for her. They get it on one night, and he can't stop thinking about her. Yang Yang's step-sis finds out, and gives her the cold shoulder. It is then discovered after a competition that Yang Yang took performance-enhancement drugs. She leaves this life and begins anew in the entertainment industry. We are constantly reminded of how hurt she is. One of the things that keeps coming up is her struggle with her identity. She has French blood but can't identify with it. Others have trouble looking past her looks, and she really doesn't know who she is.


The verdict:
This story is pretty heavy stuff to me...cheating, lust, tears, being independent in a ruthless world. This movie is for older audiences in that sense. The whole time I was kinda on edge, afraid of what would happen next, it was so unpredictable. It was fresh. I'll give ya that. I get the feeling there's some deeper meaning in this movie that I was supposed to pick up on, but I guess I'm not that deep... Sandrine Pinna is a great actress, as I already discovered in 'Miao Miao', which I have reviewed quite a while back. She cried a lot in this movie though, and it kinda got annoying for me. Am I heartless? Zhang Rui-jia, the celeb crush I mentioned not too long ago played a naive highschool student, whom I didn't really like. When at first I realized he was in the movie, I was like: OH. MY. GOD. But then the nature of his character sunk in, and I was like. Ehhhh. But I still love him. Just not his character. AND guess who had a cameo? Wang Bo-chieh from 'You're My One and Only' 你是我的唯一!!!! But he wasn't on screen for long. :( Cinematography and music work well.
The end is pretty dang sudden...a lot of things left hanging. I'm not sure what to make of it. I guess Yang Yang just doesn't give up and keeps on fightin'. The last shot is of her running as the camera pulls away. She slows and begins to walk, but eventually starts running again: NEVER GIVE UP! Yeah now that I think it over, it's a pretty good movie. Just need time to digest it.


Rating: 4/5

Drama Review: 你是我的唯一 You're My One and Only

I just finished watching this awesome drama.

It's unlike any drama I've ever seen, and I LOVE it.

The plot:
Qi Gang is handsome young man from Taipei, with a perfect life and a beautiful girlfriend, but his life is turned upside-down when his parents leave the country to escape from loansharks, sending him to Hualien County in the countryside of Taiwan to live with his aboriginal grandmother. It's not surprising then that he starts his new life hating every second of it. But as time wears on, he grows to love his new school, Hualien, his grandmother, and a spunky classmate named Xiao Zhen.

The verdict:
I wanted to watch this because I thought the male lead is prettty easy on the eyes, the female lead reminded me of 桂綸鎂 Gui Lun Mei

(who I'm a fan of), and because it takes place in HUALIEN <3!!!  I went to Hualien during the summer and freaking LOVED it there.
This is a sweet drama, with the essences of simple Taiwanese life and teenage love coursing through it. None of it is too heavy on the heart, but it's got some plot twists too. I really loved how real the relationships seemed, Qi Gang and his grandmother (SO CUTE!!!), Lu Dou and Xiao Zhen and their grandpa (again: SO CUTE!!), Wu Guo Yu and Ah Bao (SO CUTEEEEE) and the sweet innocence of Xiao Zhen and Qi Gang's relationship. The drama is only 7 episodes long, which pretty much guarantees you that there won't be any unnecessary plot-dragging (thank goodness). It's not too short either--it's just long enough to get the story told, which is great. One thing that irked me however, was that some characters spoke in Taiwanese (which I can't understand much of ) and during those parts I had to depend on my limited-literacy of Mandarin to understand the dialogue. But that's my own fault, so I'm not blaming anyone. I love it when people speak in Taiwanese ^_^ OH! And the acting is great too. I didn't once think : "ew. What bad acting."

This drama is one of my favorites because it isn't complicated, it doesn't have any unnecessary sideplots or characters, it just works--it's so simple.

Simply AMAZING.

OH MY GOSHHHH THE END WAS SOOOO SWEET!!!!!!!!!

I want a Qi Gang of my own....and if not, I'll take an Ah Bao <3

I can't wait to see if Wang Bo Chieh (Qi Gang) and Fion Fu (Xiao Zhen) act in any dramas soon. They're so awesome!

Helloooo to anyone who stops by this pathetic little piece of the world wide web.

I've finally uploaded my first Youtube video! I'm hoping it'll eventually amount to something amazing...but for now, this is all I've got.

I plan to make vids in both English and Mandarin. This way I have a new way to practice Mandarin and perhaps I can help others who are learning too (how, I do not know).

Check it out ^^
