Hong Kong TVB series

Yeah, I actually watched these TVB series.....nothing better to do during night time at home.
The Dance of Passion (a Hong Kong TVB TV series of 32 episodes) – starring Charmaine Sheh/Choi Siu Fun/Lai Chi/Lam Bowie/Chan Ho) & set in the early 1900s (if not wrong). The story is mainly on 2 major clans in the town located in the desert region (sounds familiar to me), namely the Yim and Sung clans. These 2 clans have been together for the last 100 years. But things were not smooth throughout. Betrayals, mistrusts, love & greed somehow are in the blood of the town’s citizenship. Talks about how the poors/poorly connected people (just like in many countries...hehehe) survived in such environment. The script is good but they packed too many “suddens” where they rushed to reveal lots of truth towards the last 3 episodes.

The Biter Bitten - starring Benny Chan, Linda Chung, Shirley Yeung, and Michael Tong. Basically it's about Benny, Linda, Shirley, and Michael finding treasure, but before they find the treasure they have to have enough clues to know where the treasure is located at. You will see the silver and gold eggs as the clue, as well as Linda's necklace, a photo, and the sword.

Each episode you will see Benny or Shirley uncover a clue that has to do with the treasure. Benny is really smart, he can answer IQ questions, and riddles. Benny was the only person who found all the clues to help to find the treasure. While the four of them looking for the treasure, the love relationships also complicates the situation. A humorous series at the same time as the 4 main young characters are of young age.

Malaysian universities dropped out of sight......really sad.....can someone tell me why? Reasons given (by M'sian Uni officials) could be that "biasness" was used in tabulating such rankings or not according to certain standards. What you are is what you teach. With such low qualities of M'sian Univs, you can't expect to find a better lecturer (who hails from a M'sian Uni too) in future also.

Miami Vice / 2 Fast 2 Furious-Tokyo Drift

Miami Vice - starring Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx & Gong Li (yeah, the lady from China). Story was made based on the 80s TV series of Miami Vice (but no stories are linked). Both Colin and Jamie went undercover to nab drug lord operating in Miami & to investigate murders linked to the drugl ords. Wherelse Gong Li was a Chinese-Cuban wife to arms/drugs trafficker. You have to pay attention to the conversations throughout the whole show otherwise you will lose the plot. The criminals-police shoot out only occurred, where they were within 200-300m of each other, towards the end of the show. Police investigations are so shallow.
2 Fast 2 Furious-Tokyo Drift - starring Lucas Black, Shad 'Bow Wow' Gregory Moss, Nathalie Kelley, Sung Kang & Brian Tee. A US guy notorious for his bad behaviour on the road with his car has been sent to Japan to stay with his enstranged father, a military man. In Tokyo, he befriended an American guy who introduced him to underground world of drift racing. In his first race, he challenged the Drift King who has ties with the local Yakuza (not that he knew since he's new in Tokyo). His borrowed car was badly damaged and he was indebted to this car owner. He continued his friendship with this car owner who taught him about drifting at the same time. Unknowingly, he fell for the Drift King's gal. The Drift King has ties with the local Yakuza. In the end, the hero has to face off stake with the Drift King, with the loser leaving Tokyo for good.
