im bored!!!!!

hi everybody. back to blog again. you people must be thinking, why am i blogging at this time? because i didnt play basketball today as it rained during the afternoon so as a result, i couldnt play. thats okay though. so basically today, i spent my whole afternoon in front of the television watching dvds (and eating ice cream). i watched 2 shows today, "we are family" and "eight below". the former is a hong kong show while the latter is an english show. as you can see, im really rotting at home that i spent the whole afternoon watching not 1, but 2 shows. anyway, at least i can say that the shows were interesting and emotional.

okay first to talk about the show "we are family". its a comedy starred by hacken lee, alam tam, hu jing. this show is about this guy lee zhijie, who works for this xanadu slimming company in hong kong and he has a long term girlfriend, huang jinfeng who works as a air stewardess. she has a eccentric family so whenever jie proposes she refused. at the 8th proposal however, she allowed jie to go see her family. first stop to china to see her grandmother and babysitter (nai ma). this part is hilarous as jie thought feng grandmother was playing around, but in actual fact, she just trying to help jie cleanse out all the poison in his body. after he got feng grandmother approval, he moves on back to hong kong where he meets feng parents. both of them also tried to test out jie which is also funny, especially the part when feng mother was seducing jie (to test if he is a gay and to test whether he is *ahem* normal). by the way, when jie finished seeing feng grandmother, she passed a family treasure and when he finished seeing her parents, he too was handed with a treasure. their family rule is that he must get all 3 treasures before feng can get married. so off he went to singapore to meet feng big brother (and for his company business as well). over there things cocked up and screwed him up big time. but all things come to a happy ending. i think the singapore part i shall not elaborate. but overall its a nice comedy with some twist. alam tam in this show portraited 3 characters, feng father and her 2 brothers. so its kind of a nice thing to see.

next on, "eight below". its a really nice and touching show which is inspired by a true story. its about a team of explorers in antartic and a guy love for his 8 dogs. this story first began with the main character jerry, an antartic guide was asked by a geologist, professor davis to bring him to look for a mercury rock (something like a rock from mercury). but because the route was different and they could not use the automobile, they have to use the sled dogs. 8 huskies by the names of max, maya, john, dewey, truman, shorty, shadow, buck. so they traveled to look for the rock and along the way they met with different mishaps (the prof almost falling into a glacier and almost died after falling down a cliff and broke his leg). during the part, you can see just how well trained this dogs are, especially in an emergency. when they got back to base camp, they received an alert that the weather is going to change drastically and they have to evacuate immediately.this is the part where the real story begins. the prof (after almost drowning himself) suffered from a broken feet and hypothermal, needs to be brought back to the medical center and they have to evacuate so they have to leave the dogs before. and so the dogs were left in antartic for 175 days. during the 175 days, the dogs have learned how to survive but still 2 of the dogs died (old john and the other dog im not really sure). on the other hand, jerry was trying hard to find ways to get back to antartic. its really a very touching show and i personally really cried when i saw the dogs. they really depended on each other and when one of them died, they actually mourned for the dead (its really touching trust me). the story ends with jerry finding a way back (of course he wil find his way back) and getting his 6 dogs out of antartic. i suggest you people to watch this show (if you havent already). you will be very touched.

okay i guess thats all for now. going to bath soon and going out to watch pirates of the caribbean: dead man chest at 9pm. heard its a really good show. anyway, its a long post for now. will be back to write about the pirates of the caribbean.
