WHO ARE THEY? They are Team Epsilon - an elite team within the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority.  WHY I love this series? 5 REASONS: Number 5  Awesome cast. Look at this group of people! How can you not like them!? Positively dynamic, the team effort and collaboration, they create sparks when they come together. Their on-screen personas are attractive, engaging and very lively. Most importantly, they're very real. You can connect to them on a emotional level. Number 4  Intriguing plot. Fantastic storyline, drawn from real life cases. It's exciting, full of suspense and occasionally injected with dark humour. Every episode leaves you hanging and craving for more more more!! Number 3  I secretly love Pamelyn Chee. HAHA! She's one kick-ass ICA officer. I'm sorry Jade Seah you can't hold a candle to her. There's a certain spark to Pamelyn Chee that you just don't have. Not that you're no good. But she's better. She can be so alluring at times without trying too hard, and there wasn't any need for her to shed any clothes to be able to flaunt her figure. Not that it's your fault too hahaha, the scriptwriter specifically wants you to do that in the show. But yes, you're pretty good. But Pamelyn Chee beats you hands down. Number 2  Hot villian. Jourdan Lee is one smoking hot bad guy. Seriously, I have no idea where they find all these awesome people to film this drama. Half the cast were new people whom I've never seen before. The Thai boxing and swimming scenes were absolutely..riveting. HAHAHAHA! You get the gist. And my top reason why I love this drama series? Number 1  I am secretly in love with Carl Ng. HAHAHAHAHAAH! Not a secret anymore. But he's my weekly eye candy. Love the brooding, stubborn, sometimes cranky, masochistic on-screen persona. Paired with that pair of killer to-die-for-eyes, I guarantee that if you're a girl, you're a goner.  Why so hot why why why!? Because I'm a stalker, I wikipedia-ed him. LOL. Of British and Hong Kong parentage, his father is none other than Richard Ng who is famous for his comedic roles. His mother was once Bruce Lee's hairstylist. Exciting much haha.. Oh and yes, he's a model in Hong Kong. That should be able to explain his extreme hotness. I think that's enough late night rumbling. Adios, for now.

It's the season of indulgence again. An excess of fun, laughter and food.  Number 1 on the Calories Chart: PINEAPPLE TARTS. This year's pineapple tarts are really fantastic. Melt in your mouth buttery goodness with tangy pineapple paste. Love the little strands of fibre. More fun!  Seaweed! These are fattening, but at least there's no hint of salt. Rather addictive. The crunch is quite shiok haha..  My number 1 vice every year: Arrowhead Chips These are fabulous arrowhead chips!!! Couldn't ask for more. They don't taste like they're dripping in oil, mildly salty and very very crunchy. Damn good. Non-stop munching.  Number 2 favourite and all-time vice as well: Prawn Rolls or more affectionally known as the Hae Bi Hiam Rolls. Woo-hoo snacks. Spicy, fragrant, crunchy, yummy. They are the reason behind every sore throat I have annually. I believe this tops the Calories Chart too. How? Utterly addictive. Eat first. Worry later. :) Labels: Jan2012 Friday, January 20, 2012 | 11:59 pm | 0 comments
 Do you feel that way too? Perhaps all great readers feel that way.. A well-written book is well-written not simply because of flawless sentences and perfect grammar, it's because there's life in the characters. It's real, it's human, and it's a reflection of your life, your friends, and you. You see you in the characters, you feel the story, you feel their pain their happiness their loss. You're living out your fantasies your dreams your alternate reality in fiction. There is nothing that is more absorbing and intriguing than that. Books are a gift. A good book leaves you breathless, fascinated, and a little sad when you finally get to the end. It's like saying goodbye to yourself, closing a chapter of that part of your life, moving on to another great book, another great chapter.. Sunday, January 08, 2012 | 11:54 pm | 0 comments
2011 is over and I have discovered that I absolutely LOVE watching movies. So not to waste all those hours I spent either in the cinema or at home watching these marvelous works, I shall do a top 10 chart of my favourite movies of the year. Incidentally, this will also be the first post of 2012. :) NUMBER 1: MIDNIGHT IN PARIS  I like the whole plot, it's basically a tribute to Paris and it shows Paris is her best light. The whole living with the arts and culture lifestyle. Love it when Owen Wilson catches a 1920 Peugeot Landaulet and travel back in time to meet his literary idols Hemmingway and various other famous authors and artists such as Picasso and Matisse. It was a delighting tale, full of olden Paris glamour and modern Paris romanticism. NUMBER 2: WE BOUGHT A ZOO  This is a wonderful story, and coupled with the right actors and actresses, the whole story came to life. Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson are fabulous. Especially Matt Damon, oh he's wayyyy awesome. I love how he portrays the character and I love the emotions he brought into the film. The animals are really cute, they make you want to visit the zoo right this minute. A heartwarming story and definitely deserving of the number 2 on my list of favourite movies. :) NUMBER 3: REAL STEEL  Real Steel is one of the movies that I get to watch for free, it was a Nuffnang preview and it was satisfying. Hugh Jackman never fails. I love his role, and I love the plot. The whole robot fighting is way cool, not to mention the small kid featured in the film is tooooo cute to resist. It's a heartwarming tale, packed with enough excitement and fighting elements to get your pulse racing. Plus points, the robots are ridiculously cool. NUMBER 4: HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2  Harry Potter. Need I say more? The stuff of your childhood dreams. Heck it's MY childhood dream too. If not for the fact the first time I picked up the book is when I was 14, I would have thought Hagrid would come for me with a Hogwarts letter too.. The books are a legend, I re-read them over and over and I never tire of them. It's an excellent place for your mind to escape to.. Even though this is the last movie, I guess I can always live the magical dream again and again, with movie reruns ;) NUMBER 5: CAPTAIN AMERICA  CHRIS EVANS. Drop dead hottie. Captain America's story is not what I expected at all, not having read the Marvel comic version before.. But I must say, this is one superhero I can learn to like. Major plus points? Chris Evans's amazing bod. =p NUMBER 6: X-MEN FIRST CLASS  X-men first class is bombastic. Love it love it love it. I like how the story unravels and you understand why and how the characters are the way they behave. Tops all the other X-men movies, this is by far the best. Exciting, action-packed, pulse-racing. Thumbs up. NUMBER 7: JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN  It's Mr Bean hahahahaha. Best comedian ever. If ever I'm in need of a laugh, all I have to do it turn to Mr Bean. Johnny English is pretty cool, predictable plot but I watch it for the comical factor so it's basically still pretty enjoyable! Such a happy movie.. NUMBER 8: FRIGHT NIGHT  Fright Night is the first movie I watch for free from Nuffnang. I didn't know it was a horror/thriller film. Scared myself to death when Colin Farrell turned pretty freaky and vampirish. He has this really dark aura about him. Dark but sexy and intriguing. What a deadly combination. But good movie nontheless. NUMBER 9: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN ON STRANGER TIDES  It's my favourite Captain Jack Sparrow! Love the swagger and crazy demeanor that Johnny Depp brings to life in his role. It was a pretty cool sequel, with mermaids and all that. No more Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley though, a little sad there. They brought in Penelope Cruz who is marvellous of course, she brings an exotic touch to the whole movie. All in all, a decent movie. NUMBER 10: WATER FOR ELEPHANTS  I didn't watch this for Robert Pattinson. LOL. The whole story is pretty alright, something I haven't watched before at least. It's a circus story, and I love the animals portrayed in the movie. It's very lively and Reese Witherspoon is a highly accomplished actress. Nice change from all your contemporary love stories. That concludes my favourite movies of 2011, even though I think there are a couple more I've yet to watch such as The Rum Diary, One Day and The Adjustment Bureau.. hahaha.. not enough time! But no fear, I'll continue watching more movies this year so watch this space.. :)
