Hiiiii guys!

I've been trying to set aside some time to update this space. It's been over a week since I returned to Melbourne and I'm done with the first two weeks of my final academic semester. Yes, the countdown has begun! Apart from attending my classes as per normal, I'm absolutely guilty of slacking off. I spent the first few days in an absolutely sloth-like mode, with my mind bent on finishing a marathon, that is my TVB drama marathon. Kudos to TVB scriptwriters! Moonlight Resonance (Heart of Greed) is definitely one of the best family-themed dramas I've ever watched. It tugged at my heartstrings and moved me to tears on many occasions.

 Gonna sidetrack a little here.

I used to follow Glee but I couldn't keep up with all that drama (pun intended) and I stopped after a few episodes into S2. Don't get me wrong. I have heaps of admiration for the multi-talented Glee cast and their brilliant remixes. However, it was difficult to relate what I watched on Glee with my personal life experiences. On the other hand, TVB dramas underline and reinforce the important values that we should possess to be happy/ achieve contentment/ live life to the fullest etc. Somehow, TVB dramas are likelier to offer its viewers a slice of life as compared to American dramas (too much sex and all that jazz).

Granted, American dramas have impressive, high-end fashion wardrobe sets for their casts. Although HK has yet to cement its status as one of the world's fashion capitals, it is fast becoming one of the to-go countries for shopping (think all the Singaporeans and foreigners who flock there to shop). TVB stars aren't clad in dirty old rags. They are dressed in elaborate costumes -with embellishments that threaten to blind- in period dramas, and look the part for the roles that they're cast in.


Hahaha, I feel somewhat silly for pitching TVB dramas like a crazy salesperson but at least I'm writing something that I'm passionate about. I'm glad that I have friends within my social circle who are fans of TVB dramas too! You don't have to shun completely from American dramas. The bottom line is that you'll have nothing to lose if you have the best of both worlds, right?

Currently, Neo and Sandra are here on a holiday and I am putting them up at my place. Honestly speaking, it's really tiring to juggle the role of a tour guide and a student. However, I can't deny that I do enjoy myself when I'm out with them. I feel a little guilty that I've not exactly been the most patient tour guide but I hope that the girls are having a fun time anyhow! Sigh, it seems that I become a really temperamental person when I'm in Melbourne.

Here are photos of the first two days when I brought them out :)

This is such a cute photo of them!

I brought this pair of sisters to have bagels before Xingting headed back to Singapore. It's not everyday you get to hang out with two gorgeous sisters at the same time!
