Euro 2008
to be honest, i wasn't really chasing after e Euro 2008 matches. in fact, i din even know when was e opening nite. and yup, i missed e opening nite also as i was in a camp. anw i think main thing for my lesser concern for Euro 08 was that England din make it to e final rounds of Euro 08. SADZ. but hopefully they take this as a lesson to realli buck up on their performance.
nonetheless, being a soccer fan, i still paid 10 bucks for the Euro 08 channels on starbub cable tv (aren't u suppose to include Euro 08 matches when i paid bucks n bucks for e sports channels?! better stop pushing e limits of e viewers!). since e venue is in europe, e match timings are not exactly asia friendly. well 1st match starts at 12am, which is still alright. but e 2nd match starts at 2.30am, which means it will end at 4.30am. now that's a real challenge especially for those who are working.
for ppl like me who are in e holidays, it onli means that our biological body clock wld be realli messed up. after days of continuous viewing, day time seems night to me n vise versa. now after viewing e 2nd match, i still feel wide awake n linger on still i hit e pillows at 5plus-6plus. partly also bcoz i am glued to e hk drama serials that i'm watching after that :P
anw, i have decided to root my support for spain, followed by holland, for this Euro 08. So far for e matches that they had played, they looked good to go past e grp stages. lets see how far will they go.
viewers, any particular team that u are rooting for?

HK Drama
due to e amt of time on hand, i have been watching HK dramas recently. best thing is i'm watching them in cantonese. its wat u called "original" "原汁原味.
as some of u might have known that i'm a cantonese and in fact i always treat it as my 1st preferred spoken language(though some might argue its a dialect, not lauguage). to be able to watch the drama serials in cantonese speaks much more to me. i personally think that sometimes e original idea, jokes and lingo of the script got lost during the chinese translation.
a quick look at the HK drama serials that have been churned out, i realize that HK TVB and even ATV have shot a lot of dramas continuously for the viewers. this is sth i always like. i do enjoy local spore drama serials also. the thing is i simply do not understand why they don produce dramas consistently. After a while, the 7pm or 9pm drama slots will be showing HK or China dramas. judging by e no. of artistes Mediacorp has, i definitely don see lack of manpower as an issue. furthermore, they have so many talent shows in a yr. surely they can give some chances for some newbies to display their talents and clock experience. if u are not going to use them, y "select" them? if u are not going to let them clock experience, they will never be experienced!
gone are e days where local spore dramas were lining up one after another like those times in between 1980s to 1990s. realli miss those days. nowadays, they prefer to consolidate a huge pool of artistes and do a mega 100-episode kind of thing. in e end, its e same few bunch of big names 阿哥阿姐 artistes for e main roles to "support" e drama.
faithful local drama supporters are still out there waiting, e only way to keep them n expand this pool is to keep doing more n more dramas for them. nevermind if the show is being anchored by any 阿哥阿姐 big name artistes, e viewers will decide who e 阿哥阿姐 are. who would have thought zoe tay, li nanxing, fann wong, tay ping hui etc wld have turned out to be crowd-pullers 10yrs ago?
