Be it Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese or even Malaysian … I just love my drama. And this brings me to the topic of the wonderful satellite TV channels we get from China and around Asia. Although the satellite lets me view many many more Drama’s than I can dream of, channel surfing is a skill which needs to develop with satellite TV because of the crazy number of commercials which they air during and between programmes (most of which are repeated over and over and over and over again).
I’ve stumbled across a lot of great dramas, but one of the major problems is when and where these programs are aired. I remember this great Korean drama called 18 vs 29 and how I would tune in to JXTV and/or Fujian Channel to watch it every weekday. They aired the same episodes on both channels at different times so if you miss one, you can still catch it on the other channel. The problem only occurred when they stopped airing it BEFORE the Drama concluded!?
There’s always that sense of togetherness which food brings to family and friends. And it’s even better when it involves yummy BBQ and Satay! I attempted to cook the satay over the coals for a short while, fanning and turning it, but I found it a lot faster and easier to do it on Cooking Mama using the wii =P
I initially wanted to stay in Harbin for about five days so we can see the Ice Festival, Snow World, Tiger Park etc etc and just take our own sweet time with the place. But because it was so troublesome to get our hands on the train tickets, we figured the length of our stay will depend on the availability on our train ticket back to Beijing.
When I was going through my Manga (comic) phase, gobbling up all the manga I could get my hands on, I stumbled across Hanazakari no Kimitachi E (For You in Full Blossom or better known as Hana Kimi) by Hisaya Nakajo. And I have to say that Hana Kimi is definitely still one of my favourite comics because I can’t resist these romantic comedy story lines which are full of fluff and the beautiful artwork. I suppose it’s also because Hana Kimi is such a typical Japanese story, so much like a fairytale and full of things we deem not possible (or at least very unlikely).
I’ve been thoroughly distracted from blogging for a while, one of the excuses is the Food Fair held at Fremantle for the Burma Cyclone victims. It was on the Sunday (yesterday) and thankfully the weather was perfect! I was a bit worried because a few days earlier the weather was terrible with the wind blowing around fences, uprooting trees, causing power cuts and throwing debris all over the roads.
