Initially, did not watch this drama - Game Plan 千方百计 when it was shown on television. However, decided to catch this since most of my colleagues are discussing about the story. Gary roughly told me that it is about cheating and lying. When I heard that, it reminds me of this show -  Liar Game. Liar Game is the genre of show that I like!

The story started quite similar to Liar Game. The character of Xin Tong, Hao Ren & Mo Yan are similar to the character of Nao, Akiyama & Katsuragi. Only those who watched both the show will truly understand what I meant. 

The story flow quite well with smart strategy plan and plot. There is a twist as the story moves on which capture the viewers attention, making it a little more exciting. However, towards the finale, I feel that it is rather draggy. Certain scenes are redundant. 

Kudos to Jessica Liu & Christopher Lee. They have been acting together as the lead since secrets for sale 拍卖. Think they had wonderful chemistry. However, I think should give other actor/actress a chance to act in good shows, they acted before. The other cast like Shaun Chen & Chris Tong acted reasonably well too!

Overall, it is a good drama.

Happy Birthday Sher! (:

Watched ah boys to men with Sher yesterday. I think the story-line is good and flows pretty good! It is one good show for the old and young! For those who gone through National Service, it bring back many bitter, fun and epic memories. For those who have not, it will be a good eye-opener for them! For loved ones who need not be enlisted, it let them know more about the life-style there. 

Kudos to the various cast! I think they acted pretty good! Nice! Awaiting for Part 2!

Whenever I see variety programs, I always wanted to had a 'feel' playing it too! And yup, thanks to Desmond who decided to play Running Man and planned it! It is the recent korean game variety program where you see different teams challenging in order to win! And yup, as you can see, I was in the blue team!

Only managed to have pictures on the first activity that we played! It is easy to play football without any obstacles. However, now with those cups, it is certainly a challenge! Nevertheless, FUN! Only I got the ball in the goal post surprisingly! Woo!

Then, we had other fun activity that was played in running man too. Oh ya, suffered minor injury at my neck area during one of the game because I guess I really go all the way! Drinking of lemonade sugar mixture really made my stomach go haywire too.

Then, the last game was the ultimate which was pulling out each team name tag! The winner will be determine when all other team name tag are being taken off! My team decided to work with red team to counter the yellow one. And yup, indeed, the 2 standing one was Red and Blue! Ultimately, Red won!

Was a fun experience but it will be even a good one if I did not injured at all.

Finished watching this drama - 幽灵. Was introduced by my colleagues that this is a mysterious thriller show, which was my type of genre! Thus, decided to catch it! 

The plot was good because it keep viewers in suspense to think and figure out on the issues encountered - be it people or evidence. It flows well with clear flash back scenes to fix the mystery with the present one. It started off with betray, hatred and revenge. Sad ending at the last episode when the truth is revealed.

Since this is a cyber investigation drama, it reminded one how powerful technologies can be. To the extent, do not good to one another just by a click. It shows the everyday life of a policemen and tell us to live it up as a good cop if you are one!

Great acting from the 2 main cast! Lee Yeon Hee & So Ji Sub! I think the other cast did a great job too!

If you are into police investigation mystery thriller, this is a good drama I will recommend you!

Watched Liar Game - The Final Stage & Reborn! The final stage was a continuation of the Liar Game series. Nice to see how the story flow and strategies in order to be that ultimate winner. It really test my ability to think further and ahead on what could actually happen next. Nice! 

Reborn was more of an extended restart version whereby Nao was replaced by Yu. She was selected to play this game and seek help from Akiyama. Similarly, she was as soft-hearted just like Nao. Thus, Akiyama decided to play enter the liar game once again. 

The final stage was a game - Garden Of Eden & Reborn was a game of Musical Chair. Both had similar concept. To win, one has to coo-operate to have a win-win situation. 

As compared, I feel that Garden Of Eden has a better plot on the strategies and keep viewers in suspense, thinking who is the person who sabotage the entire game. Also, the methods to find out who is the one was nicely done.

Musical chair was good though I feel that the plot is not as strong and the ending is rather predictable. To add on, it is like a new film and characters in it and sadly, Nao is not acting in Reborn. Still, nice brainstorming and strategies to win the game.  

Ultimately, this film educates me a lot about humans nature. Sometimes, we should just have faith and trust one another in order to have a win-win situation.

Had dinner with Jeffrey yesterday evening at Bao Today 包今天. Was my first time to the restaurant, and we decided to have dum sum. Nice ambiance with old school tables and chairs. The food tasted reasonably tasty. The 2 dishes that I did like to recommend would be Sesame Bun & Spring Roll Japanese Sweet Potato! Yummy! 

The first bite for this bun, you will feel that it is rather dry. However, after more bites, there will be a layer of thick juicy sesame! 

The Spring Roll Japanese Sweet Potato is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Nice!

After which, watched Sinister! I feel that this film is direct and keep viewers in suspense. The story plot is average but lack climax. The flow is there though I thought it could be better. It is usually the sound effect which makes it more intense. There isn't subtitle thus initially, I did not really grasp certain parts, only later on of the movie.

Alright, gonna recommend a dish at Keisuke! This restaurant is situated at Millenia Walk. I like the ambiance which comes along with dim lights to enhance the atmosphere.

Oh ya. Something unique about this place is that you get to Make Your Own Ramen! Look at the menu above! There are different options for to suit your taste bud! One plus point there! Also, you can write your initials on the top left corner and your name will be called upon being served. (:

The dish I did like to recommend will be Crab Stock Ramen! I like the thick crab soup based! It blends well together with the char siew and egg! Look at the nicely done egg! It will be better if the char siew is more tender. Oh ya, FREE flow of beansprouts served! 

Only till today, I know that the long queue Japanese restaurant at Tanjong Pagar is Keisuke! Means there are 2 outlets! Nice!

Watched Taken 2 with John recently! Been looking forward to this film after watching Taken. I feel that the plot is acceptable though I thought that it could be better. 

First it was the father who rescued the daughter, and now it was the daughter who rescued him. Nice! I like how the father actually instructed her daughter on the methods to find him. Smart move on the father side too. Overall, it is still one good action thriller.

Kudos to the actors and actresses acting! Especially to pretty Maggie Grace! Still looking sweet!

As compared, I think Taken has better focus on the overall story and plot.

Watched imperfect with Jw yesterday afternoon at yishun GV. I feel that the story is not draggy and goes straight to the point. Nice plot though I thought it could be better. It is a typical loyalty gangster show, but this one here injected kinship and certain humor too. This film reminds me of Taiwan titles such as Din Tao & Monga.

Kudos to Edwin Goh, Ian Fang & Patrick Li acting! Think they did a rather good job! Great acting from the various cast too! 

Overall, its a film to educate viewers out there not to be revengeful. Learn to forgive and forget. Also, not to look down but to give ex-offenders a chance to turn a new leaf.
