Times of Your Life
3 more days to the release of fish and joanna's new album! seriously speaking, im actually more excited about joanna's new album than about fish's. been listening to her 预购礼 songs over and over, and im clearly not satisfied with just 4 songs... so i really wish the album will arrive faster!
anyway, the 4 english songs in the 预购礼 are old english classics. ive never heard them before, but i found one of the songs particularly meaningful, and pleasant when sang by joanna! ive also heard a few previews of the new songs in joanna's upcoming albums and was a little disappointed to find that they are fan1 chang4s of old classics. i do hope that there are some new songs in her upcoming album!
=============================
Times of Your Life - 王若琳Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember?
The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life? (do you remember?)
Reach out for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow
Here comes the setting sun (the setting sun)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?
Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?
Of your life
Of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life?
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life?
=============================
meanwhile, i have finished watching Forensic Heroes I and II, and finished reading the latest book in Iris Johansen's Eve Duncan series! omg i must start finding things to occupy my time again!
anyway, ill talk about Iris Johansen's book first. ive been following her eve duncan series for a while now, and was very excited when i finally got hold of her 7th instalment, Quicksand.
Book review of the 7th instalment in the Eve Duncan Forensics Serieshowever, i felt that this book seriously paled in comparison to her previous 6 books in the series. true, the page-flipping gripping plot is still there, but the plot lacks depth and twists now. those characteristics of her books were one major draw for me, and i was really shocked that unlike her previous books, the true villain was revealed right at the start in Quicksand, and thus there were no major surprises at the end of the book. or rather, there were no surprises AT ALL. that is really disappointing, considering how in books like "killing game" there were double twists on the villains.
and it starts to get ridiculous how numerous criminals have claimed to have leads to the location of eve's dead daughter's body, yet it always leads to a wild goose chase in the end, which opens up the possibility to yet another sequel. i hope that the eighth book will finally bring some much-awaited answers, and a long awaited closure.
anyway, for those that have not read the series before, eve duncan is a forensic sculptor. which is somewhat related to the show ive been watching since dec 08 - forensic heroes I and II. somehow forensics-related topics catch my attention rather easily.
on the left: my favourite character, ding ding, acted by linda chung (:forensic heroes I and II were really good! most of the crime plots were puzzling enough, yet had fairly convincing explanations as to how the crime was committed, when the case was finally solved. the murderers in several cases also caught me by surprise, and i liked the small twists throughout the show. the relationship issues between the characters were also quite amusing at times.
also, each character has his own personality, and i liked many of the characters in the show! heres my favourites list (in order). first and foremost is the cute and innocent DING DING (: next up is the classy and efficient yvonne. then its the cool and smart gao sir. following which is the hopelessly-in-love ivan. then its his good buddy, dr koo. last but not least, its the 2 madams! and my 2 favourite villains are tracy from FH1 and zhuo lan from FH2. haha the way zhuo lan kicks the table and flips over it is quite cool. makes me feel like learning wushu LOL
anyway, the most important thing is that the whole show is fast paced and action packed, and i really couldnt resist watching a few episodes at a go! hope there will be a forensic heroes III haha...
the only issues i have against forensic heroes II were the rather poor (and not-so-amusing) ending, and the fact that ding ding and madam ma got sidelined! ):
haha i strongly recommend forensic heroes I and II to anyone who has the time to watch a 25 and a 30 episode HK serial. (:
