everyone seems to be having a nice summer. haha, its okkay anthony, im broke too! in the beginning of the summer i bought this bus pass that allows me to take the bus the whole summer for only $50 bucks. My friend who has the pass too but she uses it to take the bus to take math class and on fridays when there's no schoool she makes me go to the mall with her and i went to this one mall 4 times in four weeks -_- today she wanted to take the bus to ano ther mall to watch a movie but i persuaded her out of it, im totally broke. When you go to the mall its tempted.
you dont use your text anthony? i have 400 texts each month and i went over my limit by 17 last month and had to pay .20cent for each -_-
how was your trip sango? fun? i wanna take a trip this summer to San Francisco (: and ride the trolley! haha. the farest i ever went was Las Vegas.
my trip was good it wasn't too bad even though I went with some seniors as well because it was a trip for seniors and I went as well because my grandma from hong kong came.
I watched a film called 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'. It's not tvb or asia-related. It's a movie about the Holocaust. It's about a eight year-old german boy who befriends a young jewish boy, who is locked up in a concentration camp. They become friends whilst being on either side of the wired fence. In the end, the german boy digs his way into the camp to help the other boy, and the guards mistake him also as a jew, and they are both gased to death (along with hundreds of other people).
i think imma die soon; driver's ed is a pain! i have to read pages and pages about rule of driving and then take tests after tests! i have to learn 15 unit and i did ten so far -_- its hella long. five more to go!
i created a facebook today (: haha except there isnt much to do on there lol.
I remember in eight grade we spent a while learning about the holocaust, so sad. I spent a semester reading books about the holocaust in english honors this year as well as learning it in honors world history. so many deaths!
It's my 3rd day back at my college!! It's so tiring!! I started at 9.00am and finished at 5.30pm! Hopefully I'll finish at the end of this year as planned, and start university next year.
LOL since im under 18 i have to take a driver education class and then after the course they issue a certificate that says i took it and then i take a written which to see if i studied and know all the rules and laws and everything about driving. If i pass i get a permit which allows me to pratice my driving and drive when an adult is present in the car with me. After the permit i have to take 6 hours of driving behind the wheel class with an instrutor. After the class i have to wait six months after i get my permit to take my driving test. If i pass, i get my license (: haha so complicated huh?
anyway, i will disappear for awhile until i finish studying and get my permit (:
Yeah, that's complicated! I think the australian version would be as complicated if I tried to explain it...
LOL, I think the US's definition of College is different... College to you guys, is called University (Uni) in Australia. I'm currently studying at Liverpool TAFE College - which is a mixed institution of Technical and Further Education. So I didn't exactly finished high school... lol, so I'm finishing my education here instead. But next year, I'd definitely get to Uni (college). I'm not sure what it's called over there, but I'll be doing at Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communications, or a Bachelor of Communications.
in another word, what we call "high school" over here is what you call "college" over there? and what we call "college" over here is what you call "univeristy" over there?
lol for us college and university is sorta the same. they're both education to persue your career. is just university is better. its like univeristy is a college, but a college is not a university; and college are open to the public and you get a higher chance of getting accepted into a college. as for university it cost A LOT to attend, and its really hard to get into and universities, majority, are private and ivy league. Like in movie, Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and stuff are universities.
Anyway, from what you say, anthony, are you in 11th grade? or 12th? or do you guys not have "grade level" in austrailia? cause here once you're done with 12th grade, you're consider and adult and you go off to college (:. if you're a 12th grader, are you older then me?
Yes kind of... We don't often use the term 'college' in Australia... University is what we use instead. I'm currently studying at a 'college' which isn't the same to the american term 'college'. It's basically an education institute - but is not high school.
:)
So, basically, I'm in the highest (last) high school grade (12). I'll be going to university next year! (i'm quite excited).
I'm 17 this year.
I didn't get to read your whole post, because I'm in class, and I should go now... I'll get internet soon, and post stuff in the special games!!
LOL, you're a couple of months older then me. Im turning 17 in 3 months!
OHHH & I GOT MY PERMIT! haha. i passed my written test so i can start to learn how to drive now. Last friday i got into the driver seat and acually DROVE for the first time in a real functioning car. haha, my teacher was next to me though. I was freaking out like crazy!
EVERYONE kept making fun of me by saying i couldnt see over the the wheel and i couldnt reach the peddles, but HAHA i prove them wrong!
I don't know how it works for you guys, but universities are open for applications at the moment, and I'm quite excited. I've chosen my course and a few universities that I'm interested in... In order to get an offer to a university, students must do examinations/assessments etc. And we have an ATAR score, which is basically the marks from your subjects, and goes up to 100. The course i want is 98.55!! Which is pretty high... Lol.
Hey... I haven't watched many 2009 series this year, and I want to know which series I should and shouldn't watch...
These are the series that I do want to watch: -Just Love II. -E.U. -Burning Flame III.
The ones that I need some opinion on (in the order that I'm interested in): -A Bride for a Ride. -King of Snooker. -You're Hired. -D.I.E. Again. -Rosy Business. -Man in Charge. -Winter Melon Tale. -Sweetness in the Salt. -The Threshold of a Persona. -A Great Way to Care.
I've got heaps to catch up on!

Well, I think A Great Way to Care was good. Man in Charge and Sweetness in the Salt was pretty good too. As for Rosy Business, it was alright, but there was a part that was boring/draggy to me. Same goes for SITS, there was a part that was boring/draggy too, but it only lasted for a couple of eps; the boring part in RB was much longer.
I've also watch The King of Snooker, but I don't think you'll be interested in that. E.U. was good. As for Burning Flame 3, I actually didn't enjoy it that much. It's probably because I didn't like Wong Hei's character that much.
I've watched four and half eps of D.I.E. Again; I think it's quite good so far.
Currently, I am rewatching Speech of Silence (which is about to end) and some of Moonlight Resonance. I believe When a Dog Loves a Cat will be playing after SOS. I'm still watching Best Selling Secrets, but it's ending next week.

Thanks honeybee!!! I am somewhat interested in Rosy Business, and I did think that it's the sort of series that would drag... I know absolutely nothing about Sweetness in the Salt, so there's really nothing to repulse me from wanting to watch it (so I know Steven and Tavia are in it, and it's about salt).
I've always been semi-interested in King of Snooker. I just want to watch all of Joyce's series!
Yeah, I've heard negative things about BF3... but it's a series I just can't skip! I wish the cast was stronger though.
Oh, I'm surprised you're kind of interested in The King of Snooker because I know you said you're not a fan of Adam Cheng. I just think the series might be boring to you; it's okay to me because I think I kind of like the boring type series and because I probably like the actors/actresses (so it doesn't seem that boring when watching them). If you want to watch it for Joyce, I think it's alright enough for you to watch it. I like her character in there.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Adam's, but he's not an actor that I dislike. Since he's rarely in any series, when I do watch him, I just feel his acting style/characters are so similiar, that I don't bother watching him...
Hey, I recently started rewatching some tv shows (non-asian) that I watched when I was a kid, like Power Rangers, Rainbow Brite and Captain planet... and i thought it was really like to go back to shows like that. What sort of stuff did you guys watch growing up?
I am back, AGAIN! LOL. Sorry for keeping on dispapearing (:
School hasnt start yet (haha) but it will, next week. I registered yesterday. AND I think my school or at least my counselor is weird...
See towards the end of the year we get to pick classes we want to take next year. I chosed AP Biology which is like an advance class for biology because i want to be a doctor. But yesterday when i got my classes i got:
AP US HISTORY and PHSYICS!
I signed up for AP biology and i got AP History instead?! How does history and medical relate?! and where did physic come from? i didnt even sign up for that! ANNND that's not all, i got FOUR texbooks for history! four big textbook that took up half of my locker! My locker is now full and i didnt even put my binders or notebooks in there yet -_-
OHH, im sick too -_- i just got back from camp. I lost my voice at camp... probaly cause of the weather and i screamed too much. When i got home i came down wiht a fever -_-. erghhh.
Hey, I hope you get better!!! Oh, it's been heaps quiet here!!! It's only been me and honeybee. If you didn't sign up for History and Physics, why are you in there?? Maybe biology was too full?? I started a blog yesterday... But it's not TVB related.
I've been here but I just didn't kinow any of the answers to some of the games you guys gave. I just started school tuesday you guys are sick that sucks.
Woah, this place is really quite. How's everyone? School? Work? Life?
11th grade here, in the states is really hard. One of the toughest year because college looks at that year the most and you have to take the SAT which determines your future so study study study! School so far is alright, but starting next month imma be really busy with school -.- I had chemistry last year. HATE IT! didnt do so well, but i passed (: haha.
What's your blog anthony? I think we all have a blog lol, i do too. Just so i can write stuff down and hopefully in 10 years ill have something to look back too (:
That's all for now, hopefully this place will be active soon (:
So what do you guys think about the TVB anniversary awards this year? The only 2009 series I've seen is EU!! So I can't comment much... and Gem of Life too.
It's been really hot in Australia!! It's summer and its our bushfire season. The weather's been awful.
I'm not sure but I think that wayne lai and sheren tang are gonna win. did any of you watch the tvb anniversary gala and jade singers celebrate tvb anniversary? wat's the link to your blog AM?
No, I haven't watched any anniversary stuff... About the awards, I think/want Wayne and Sheren will win too. I'm hoping Ada and Maggie from Gem of Life are nominated because they were both really good, but I doubt it. I think Kathy Chow did great in EU too.
Lol... I haven't updated by blog in a while...

You probably wouldn't know anything that I'm writing, because it's pretty Australian-based.
School's ok it's not bad it's not that great sometimes I wish it was the holidays. I'm pretty good haven't been watching many tvb series because the ones that are currently airing here aren't that great or maybe it's cuz I don't like ancient series that much. The ones airing here currently are when easterly showers fall on the sunny west and the four. I'm more into taiwanese dramas for the time being I am currently watching my queen and it's great.
I know it is upsetting and surprising. I must say that I love his acting and that we will always remember you it just won't be the same now if you watch off pedder because he is one of the main characters.
I see that's good that you went out with someone you like. do you mean like as a friend or like like? I'm glad that tvb might have a special for chan hung lit in the tvb anniversary awards because he deserves to have some recognition for all the work he's done in the past.
I was just on the 'Funzoners' page and just realised that some members who use to visit here frequently, haven't been here for more than a year! Like tcg1026 and Nikki Smiles who haven't been here since 2008! I wonder where they all are! :( And YingYing hasn't been on since May. Others like Boscoxmyolie haven't been on in ages too and Kawaiikiwi too. Some others visit, but don't post anything! (Masterliem).
Maybe we should try reviving the Special Games!! I might do it soon... I'm a tad lazy at the moment... I tried reviving the last time and it didn't work!
yea I think we should revive some of these games I'm here but I try to participate as much as I can but sometimes I don't know some answers so I don't reply until a new topic is posted sorry about that. I will help out reviving games yea I think a lot of them are busy with school and don't come on unless they have breaks or holidays.
