What i'm listening to today!...

loving this old song re-sung by Della Ding in her new album * 丁噹 Fu Good  *.  her voice is outstanding & the lyrics really seem to hit a note.....


  


我是一隻小小鳥 - 丁噹



有時後我覺得自己像一隻小小鳥
想要飛 卻怎麼樣也飛不高
也許有一天我棲上枝頭 卻成為獵人的目標
我飛上了青天才發現自己從此無依無靠

每次到了夜深人靜的時後我總是睡不著
我懷疑是不是只有我的明天沒有變得更好
未來會怎樣究竟有誰會知道
幸福是否只是一種傳說 我永遠都找不到

我是一隻小小小小鳥
想要飛呀飛飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱
這樣的要求算不算太高

我是一隻小小小小鳥
想要飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱
這樣的要求算不算太高

所有知道我的名字的人啊你們好不好
世界是如此的小 我們註定無處可逃
當我嚐盡人情冷暖 當你決定為了你的理想燃燒
生活的壓力與生命的尊嚴哪一個重要

我是一隻小小小小鳥
想要飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱
這樣的要求算不算太高

我是一隻小小小小鳥
想要飛呀飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱
這樣的要求算不算太高

這樣的要求算不算太高

Taiwanese Dramas

As i mentioned before, i'm a big fan of Taiwanese sitcoms. 
Asian Drama is  probably best described as the soap opera meets the mini series. If you have watched them before, you'll know that they are so much more. They suck you in and don’t let you leave until the end.
Most of these sitcoms only broadcast one ep per week (usually a friday or a sunday) and each Ep is approx 90mins.
Now i'm quite impatient when it comes to Dramas and hate having to wait a whole week to get my fix,  so most of the time i like to wait till the whole drama has completed before I start to watch them. This however, can sometimes cause problems as I tend to get carried away and end up watching 4 or 5 eps a night, causing severe lack of sleep. 
Now for those of you that don't understand mandarin, there are a lot of sites nowadays that provide these dramas with English subs,
My fave sites to use are Mysoju, and youtube.  as I find these site's have the most up to date dramas subbed fairly quickly and accurately.
Here's a list of my fave dramas that I would recommend watching. 




  1. 下一站,幸福Autumns Concerto,  also known as, Next Stop, Happiness. ( Starring :吳建豪 -  Van Ness Wu &  安以軒 - Ady An )
  2. 敗犬女王, My Queen. ( Starring : 阮經天 - Ethan Ruan & 楊謹華 - Cheryl Yang )
  3. 命中注定我愛你. Fated to Love You. ( Starring : 阮經天 - Ethan Ruan & 陳喬恩 - Joe Chen )
  4. 福氣又安康, Easy Fortune Happy Life. ( Starring :藍正龍 - Blue Lan & 陳喬恩 - Joe Chen )
  5. 幸福的抉擇, I Do?. ( starring : 藍正龍 - Blue Lan & 劉心悠 - Annie Liu )
  6. 惡作劇之吻, It Started With A Kiss, & 惡作劇2吻, They Kiss Again.  ( Starring : 鄭元暢 -  Joe Cheng & 林依晨 - Ariel Lin )
  7. 美味關係, Sweet Relationship. ( Starring : 周渝民 - Vic Zhou & 侯佩岑 - Patty Hou )
  8. 深情密碼, Silence. ( Starring : 周渝民 - Vic Zhou & 박은혜 - Park Eun Hye )
  9. 籃球火, Hot Shot. ( Starring : 言承旭 - Jerry Yan, 羅志祥 - Show Luo, 周采詩 - Tracy Zhou, 吳尊 - Wu Zun, & 蒋怡 - Coco Jiang )
  10. 王子變青蛙, Prince Turns To Frog. ( Starring  明道 - Ming Dao & 陳喬恩 - Joe Chen )
  11. 花样少年少女, hanazakarino kimitachihe. (Starring 吳尊 - Wu Zun, & 陳嘉樺 - Ella Chen )
There are a lot more that I could list but then the list would go on forever, so i'm just gonna leave it at that...


HAPPY WATCHING EVERYONE!!!

New Taiwanese Dance group....

Dance Flow is the latest Taiwanese dance group that has recently caught my attention.
Making their name in the 2008 CTV dance competition show "Let's Dance",  
The new 8-member group,have now signed to record giant Avex,  and released their debut album df1 this month. 
"Come on! come on! "  is their first Mv.
Due to the fact that they originated as dancers, the dance moves seem pretty good,
The song & the lyrics are quite catchy and seem to get stuck in my head, altho to be honest, i'm not really sure if this is due to hearing the chorus repeated every hr whilst Hito Radio ( a Taiwan radio station that I listen to) promotes their new album....   
overall,  the Mv  has a kind of Jpop / Kpop feel to it. 





I think we'll be seeing a lot more ot this group  in the near future.... Watch out. they're gonna be big!!...

What i'm listening to today!...

Chinese artist Jane Zhang released the music video for the title track of her new album “Believe in Jane.” in feb, The title of the song is called “I Believe.”





每一天 睁开眼 时针改变着一切
风吹过 望着天 飘忽不定的感觉
不想说 是与非 是非都没有绝对
可是我 不后悔 因为有你在身边

cause i believe cause i believe
每个呼吸 都有意义
逝去的太多啊 没有时间叹息
再迷惘 也继续

cause i believe cause i believe
你说的一切 我都相信
你握着我的手 看着我的眼睛
我比谁 都确定 你的心

每一天 梦在飞 翅膀累了不停歇
挥着手 想着谁 回忆是我的依恋
受了伤 掉眼泪 你就出现在眼前
约定的 都兑现 给我最美的画面

cause i believe cause i believe
每个呼吸 都有意义
逝去的太多啊 没有时间叹息
再迷惘 也继续

cause i believe cause i believe
你说的一切 我都相信
你握着我的手 看着我的眼睛
我比谁 都确定 你的心

cause i believe cause i believe
你说的一切 我都相信
你握着我的手 看着我的眼睛
我比谁 都确定 你的心… 我相信…

Me, Myself & I

Well, this is my first ever blog and to be honest with you I don't really have a clue as to what I'm doing, I have to tell you tho, an empty text box is a pretty intimidating thing , I mean seriously, its taken me weeks to actually get this first post up and even now whilst typing it, I'm still rather confused as to how it should start
OK so a brief introduction of my self. I was born HK, but brought up in the UK, therefore I'm fluent in English, and speaking Cantonese, my love of Taiwanese sitcoms & music has enabled me to learn mandarin quite easily, and nowadays I only tend to listen to and watch Taiwanese stuff....therefore, i sense that there will be a lot of reviews on the latest Taiwanese sitcoms and mandarin songs throughout my posts.
I can be a bit of a Mysophobiac ( for those who don't know what that is, Basically i have an abnormal fear/dislike of Dirt & germs ) there fore there is never a shortage of Dettol & anti bacterials in my home. now most people would immediately assume that my house would be immaculately clean, however that is not the case, I can be an extremely messy person and constantly l may refer to my messiness as organised chaos.
I love Art, fashion, cooking & all things pretty, more recently tho i have re-developed my love of photography so look out for posts on these as well...
You may also notice that my punctuation and grammar isn't that great but hey nobody's perfect.....
