Smackdown! in Stars Hollow.

Season 5, episode 2 of Gilmore Girls was almost a free for all. Almost anyways. The only person that got the smackdown-ed was Dean. Rory just wanted to tell him that is was all over in a letter as she was still in Europe. And the expected happened. Dean's wife Lindsay had to "accidentally" found the letter. And what a "trashing" Lindsay gave Dean in front of almost the whole town of Stars Hollow.

And it was a face off in town square with Rory's mom and Lindsay's mom. No cat-fights thought. ;)

Luke meanwhile was stuck seven weeks with his sister. He was there helping out her sister and her husband. They had an accident earlier, and need Luke's help to take care of their booth in a fair.

Lolerai wasn't even a bit angry that Luke was away for seven weeks. Guess these two really are going to be a good couple........(if only I could believe that)(as I have said earlier, relationships in a tv series rarely never get as far as happily ever after)(this must be a concept of script writing in Script-writing 101 or outdated rules of script writing).

Anyway, WWE Smackdown! in Gilmore Girls anyone? (literally).
Match results:
Lindsay beat Dean in a "kick him out of the house".

Lolerai and Lindsay's mom ended in a "You and your daugther can go to hell" stalemate. Or I think it was a stalemate.

Dean and Rory face off with a "....." (actually, this match is still on going, probably gonna happen again in the next episode.

There you go, WWE Gilmore Girls......literally........speaking......

Suddenly....it all changed.....

I used to watch US TV series, but when my favourite Charmed got a storyline "disaster" at the hands of some new writers, I look "East" for some other TV series. And out come TVB to the rescue. Or so I think. It turn out TVB series (most of them, not all) have even worst writers than their American counterparts. What I hate is the endings for a majority of TVB's tv series. A majority of them leaves you "hanging" in the air or simply you can say the endings makes you "guess" what will happen next. It is not really an ending. Everytime I watch a TVB tv series, and when the ending is a cliffhanger, I will be ranting and raving about it. Why can't they just end it like "Happily ever after" or end it like "The hero dies saving the world" or something like that?

So, I told myself that if I managed to get my scripts to TVB, I would insist on a proper ending instead of "end it so that we can make a sequel" endings. Geez, don't need to "cliffhangered" an ending just because there is a potential for a sequel. They must be afraid that they can't make any continuity if they end if properly. Bullshit!

I could write an ending and write a sequel to that ending without "cliffhangering" it. Doubt me? Well, not that I care anyway. I am currently planning a series to be sent to TVB. Just hope that everything "DOES" change.......I would personally fly to Hong Kong if they even consider to just "read" my story.

Frankly, you might think it is impossible. Well, I always believe I am a "better" writer than anyone else. Even if I am not that good, I will strive to improve. I can "lose" a thousand times, but doesn't mean that I will "lose" forever. :)

One day, it all will changed........and that's when you will see my own TV series "To Love A Thief".....

Retro - Got myself "Bewitched!"

Was watching season 1 of Bewitched, which is in black and white. And have to admit, for an ancient tv series, it is really good. Or probably was the late Elizabeth Montgomery that got me "charmed". :)

Whichever the case, it was a case of retro TV vs CSI for me during the weekends. And CSI: New York got both my thumbs down. Grissom and gang saved it for CSI when I watched the first episode of Season 5 and it was way better than CSI:New York. :)

However, Bewitched stole the show and although it was black and white, I was really impressed with it's comedic storyline! Hooray for retro tv series. :) Now I can't wait for episode 4 of Bewitched!

And hooray for me, because Gilmore Girls will be showing episode 2!!!! And I am eagerly waiting for more Luke and Lolerai!!! :) WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

CSI : New York........Worst CSI for the moment.

After watching CSI:New York last night, I was very disappointed with it. The storyline was a bit blurry and how the case was solved was a bit blurry too. Overall, it was blurry.
Maybe it is the atmosphere of New York city that is the problem. New York city looks like a grey out city that looks gloomy and eerie. No offence, but compare to CSI and CSI Miami, CSI New York really is very gloomy atmosphere!
Lets hope the second episode and the remaining episode does better than this first ever episode of CSI New York.

Season 5 Episode 1, Gilmore Girls YET AGAIN!

This is the season of Gilmore Girls that I was wishing for. Lolerai and Luke finally trying to get together! If you are a Gilmore Girls's fan like me, then you can imagine how happy and excited I am about this. Tell you all the truth, I have been waiting season after season for this to happen. And finally after waiting for 4 seasons, I finally got my long awaited wish to see Lolerai and Luke FINALLY getting together!

I am SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!.....IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!!

Ok, ok. Fine, fine. I know I am just repeating myself over and over again. I know you heard me the first time, but I don't care! I want the WORLD to know that I am very happy!. (Although I might be sad later in the season when the relationship turn sour)(in a TV series, there is NEVER a stable relationship if you are a TV series fan.)

So, I am now savioring this moment before all hell breaks loose.
Honestly, I hope all hell doesn't break loose, because this is the perfect storyline to an almost perfect series!

I will be praying for a miracle that this is going to be eventually a happily ever after....although deep down I understand that happily ever after will never happen in a TV series.(some do, but not really happily ever after).

So, here I go again! LOLERAI AND LUKE ARE FINALLY GETTING TOGETHER!
WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!

Gen2-erally very bad.


Just how badly do you want a brand-new car? What are you prepared to sacrifice to ensure brand-spanking newness; that untouched, gleaming, never-been-driven feeling?

If you want a new car desperately – make that pathologically desperately – we would still struggle to recommend a Gen2, Proton’s new Wira replacement. It’s that disappointing.

It has its good points, so let’s get those out of the way first. It won’t take long. And if you happen to be hell-bent on buying a brand-new car and a nearly new Focus won’t do, these are the only points you’ll remember anyway.

It’s good value, at least for interior kit. The 1.6 GLS model you see here comes with air conditioning and a Blaupunkt sound system with a 10-disc CD changer, and retails at £9595. It has dual airbags as standard, but no electric mirrors. You’ll need to opt for the £10,595 GSX to get those; that version also comes with standard side airbags and anti-lock brakes. So you don’t get anti-lock on lower models, which seems a glaring oversight in 2004.

Compare the price with those of its similarly specced rivals and the Gen2 GLS is good value. Rover 25 1.6 SEi: £12,795. Ford Focus 1.6 LX: £13,300. Honda Civic 1.6 SE: £13,013. Vauxhall Astra 1.6 16v Life: £12,495. The Proton undercuts them all effortlessly.

It looks good, too. Styled with help from Proton-owned Lotus, it’s a well-proportioned, well-detailed car and is a pleasure to view from every angle. The nose is neat, with none of the grille paraphernalia that sometimes blights new cars from the Far East, and the rear lights are equally handsome. The dash is well designed, too, with a stylish Lotus-esque centre console, nicely integrated stereo and a neat instrument cowling.

The car rides and handles satisfactorily, with no obvious vices as long as you don’t expect Elise-like fun. The cheap Sime tyres lose grip very early in the proceedings as the car howls toward the verge with terminal understeer. The ride jiggles a little too much on washboard ripples, but is otherwise comfortable, with decent damping. The gearchange is quick and direct, and is the best of the controls.

However, the driving position is so awkward it borders on the bizarre. You sit far too high, with no way to lower the seat other than a tight knob which only lowers the front edge of the cushion. And the steering wheel – a hard black plastic affair with all the tactile delicacy of a granite slab – won’t rise high enough, leaving itself on your lap, between your knees. Tall drivers willl find the top of the instruments are obscured by the top of the wheel, which is unforgivable in a 21st-century car.

The problems don’t end there. The build quality inside is nasty, even for a car at this price. The plastic single-piece door trims, the centre bin with its flimsy hinges, the dastardly little swivelling cup holder and the switches and plastics are all so low-rent that they’re almost squatting. Combine that with a noisy cabin and you have a distinctly ordinary motoring experience, even for the money.

The 110bhp ‘Cam Pro’ 1.6 has adequate power and torque, but all the thrust is delivered at the top end, where it becomes extremely thrashy and makes you reach for ear defenders. It has the aural delight of a toilet extractor fan – the loudest one you’ve ever heard. This is a very poorly insulated engine.

The Gen2 very nearly became Rover’s next medium car. Good job for Rover that deal never happened.

My own opinion on the Gen2?
I have only one word to say about it : SUCKS.

FINALLY........FINALLY!!!!!!! IT'S THE SEASON TO BE A GILMORE!

After 4 seasons of waiting, FINALLY at the end of season 4, the scene that I have been waiting FINALLY happen.
Don't be mistaken. It is not Rory and Dean having sex. Heck no. That was an expected scene.
The scene that I wasn't expecting was that.........(drum roll).........

LOLERAI AND LUKE FINALLY GOT TOGETHER IN THIS LATEST SEASON OF GILMORE GIRLS!!!!

WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

Why am I so excited? Well, for 4 season(minus the last episode of Season 4), I was like jumping up and down, ranting and raving about "Chicken" Luke and "Coward" Lolerai. Each know they are meant for each other one way or another. And day by day they just well...did nothing. Last season(season 4) finale, "Chicken" Luke and "Coward" Lolerai is no more. THEY ARE FINALLY TOGETHER!!!!!
And it was the moment that I have been waiting for. It was apparent from Season 1 that Luke and Lolerai should be together! And it DID happen. Sadly,it happened only after 4 season of ranting,raving and yelling like a mad person.
Well, it's a great start. But what will be the ending for this relationship?
Since there is a history of breaking up relationships in any TV series. I will be "very" pessimistic here and assume the worst case scenario in this Luke and Lolerai season. Worst case will be the obvious that they will not get together.

I HOPE THE WORST CASE WON'T HAPPEN! Anyway, let me savior this moment, for I am very happy and excited about this season of Gilmore Girls. The fairytale story finally happened. Now all we need is a happily ever after........But alas only if that was true. In this real world, there is NEVER a happily ever after.....
Let's hope a miracle will happen and there is finally a happily ever after!


Note:I have a habbit of misspellinng Lolerai's name. The real spelling is Lorelai and not Lolerai. But I don't care. I like the to use the name Lolerai.

我很悶!

我不知道要在網絡上做什麽。太悶了!

我也不知道要談什麽!

有沒有什麽好玩的東西哪?
