The Drive Of Life Special : Fung Pong Blog #9

Wah Zhan Pong Blog : Blamed to Illness

Which of the following best describes (Chairman of Kwok Wai) Wah Man Hon :

A. Swallows the learnings, without digesting it

B. Only he is in control

C. Vary from any average man, fears there is too much money

D. All of the above

Don't need to ask. The answer is D! The reality is right in front of me, I proposed to trade the building for the land. Obviously this could bring huge profit to the company. But my father straight away rejected this. OK! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! I'll just resign!

Worse come to worse, I'll just go tour around Europe! At worst, I'll just sell properties and earn big money! If I were to face him longer, I will go crazy!

I really feel like asking him, has he heard Jacky Cheung's song (Blamed to Illness). I don't have to ask him.I will just keep on playing this song at home and see who goes crazy first!

Wing Sau Fung Blog : A Game?

I have never looked forward to love. Nor believe in love. All the crows in the world is black. There is no manin this world that is worth a women to trust. Just like my father, with his numerous vulgar acts. What is worse, he will illtreat his wife mentally and physically.

My childhood, is a memory covered with blood. It is still clear in my mind the days that my mother's face is covered with dripping blood and we will be shivering and hugging each other. I already experienced such misery, it is impossible for me to walk towards mummy's old road.

Please credit me if the translations are reposted. Thank You.

Ivy : Sorry for the delays in translating this as I was busy with other stuffs before this. So here is another edition of Fung Pong Blog. Zhan Pong is really one spoiled child! Haha. And Sau Fung really had a very bad childhood memory.

I will update this more often. As often as I can! Also regarding the recent tabloid rumours of Kevin and Charmaine...LOL..Just take it as a humour. When I read the article I was all laughs as it amazes me how the papparazi could just make things up. And also with such creativity. Haha.

New Album Previews!

Many new albums released recently. Including Linda Chung with her debut album, then Joey Yung with her new album 'In Motion' and today, Raymond Lam with his second album 'Your Love'. First, Joey's 'In Motion'!


There are 10 tracks in her album. Mixture of fast and slow songs. And there is one mandarin song that I really like. Title is 'Meng Fei Meng'(track 3). Joey improved in her mandarin songs. Uploaded preview of 'Meng Fei Meng'. Click 'play' to listen and feel free to comment! Track List :

01. 跑步機上 02. 與蝶同眠 03. 夢非夢 04. 二人浴 05. 忘憂草 06. 愛怪吻的你 07. Scream! 08. 蛇 09. 頹 10. 28個我




The album also comes with poster and a 70 page photo booklet. Hahaha. I wonder if Malaysia will release their own version or direct import? I'll consider getting this album^^ But I'll wait awhile as EEG usually releases another version with a bonus DVD for her album. Next is Linda Chung's debut album, 'Dinner For One, World Of Two'


Track List :
01. 一人晚餐 02. 二人世界 03. 我不懂你 04. 火柴天堂 05. 過山車 06. 其實我不快樂 07. 浪漫無聲 08. 有沒有她 09. 你不懂我的心 (國語) 10. 我不快樂 (國語)

I think that Linda still has room for much improvement for her singing. Her voice isn't bad but she still needs to master her voice control, grip and emotion to the song. My preview for her album is track 8, 'Having Her Or Not'. This is the track which I feel she did great. But there are a few parts towards the higher key, which I said she still lacks control and grip of her voice. Singing needs practice. So I'm sure with more singing she will do better! Because Linda started from acting and not singing so she needs more experience.



Next in the list is the one fresh from the oven...haha Raymond Lam's 'Your Love' which was released today!

Track List :

01. 愛不疚 (TVB劇集「溏心風暴之家好月圓」片尾曲) 02. 愛人與海 03. Tonight 04. 明天以後 (林峯 / 泳兒合唱) 05. 憑良心說再見 06. 影子的愛情故事 07. 浮生若水 (TVB劇集「太極」片尾曲) 08. All About Your Love 09. 夏雪 10. 明天以後 (國語) (林峯 / 泳兒合唱)

Based on the track list, track 1 is Moonlight Resonance Subtheme as expected. Then there are a few new tracks. 2 tracks of duet with Vincy(After Tomorrow). They are the same song but one in Mandarin and one in Cantonese. Also track number 7 is the subthemesong from Master of Tai Chi. Happy to see that because I love that song. Haha. My selection of preview is track 2, 'Lover and The Sea'. Click 'play' to listen!

I'm going to get Raymond's album. Haha. Because I always support him in singing industry. He has a very deep and unique voice. So feel free to give comments on these 3 albums. Will you buy it or not? Or if you already bought it, what do you think about these albums? If you're interested to purchase them, you can visit YesAsia!.

p.s The albums above does come in different covers. The above is only my selection of covers. Visit yesasia website to view different versions of the covers!

Junior Idol Finals 2008

THIS POST IS EXCLUSIVE TO MY BLOG ONLY. NO REPOSTING ALLOWED WITHOUT PERMISSION. THANK YOU.

Last weekend was Junior Idol Finals 2008 at Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach. I arrived at KL on Saturday afternoon and wanted to go to the Bowie Lam event but then in the end I didn't attend because I was not too sure of the schedule and also it was a bit rushing. So I only went to the Junior Idol Finals. According to the website, Yoyo Mung, Joe Ma and Kenneth Ma was supposed to be attending this event but seems like there was a change in plans last minute and they did not attend.

OK, so back to the event. After collecting my tickets from Jovin's mother(she is my aunty's classmate and my mummy's friend) and Jovin's elder sister(which looks pretty too), we headed together to the event venue which was Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach. Oh, by the way, by saying 'we' I mean KC, my mum, brother, aunt, cousins, their grandma and Jovin's mum and sister. When I reached the event venue, my first reaction was.."WTH....there are no place to sit or at least a solid dry ground to stand!!" My aunt did told me to wear short pants because there may be water splashing but I was surprised when I saw the venue. Because the event is actually in water! Meaning we have to stand on about a foot tall of water to watch the event. TVB8 or the organisers should have informed us in advance or at least give a notice on the dresscode "Beachwear". It was a pity as some people who did not expect this wore jeans and long pants or sport shoes to the event. For example....my brother....hahaha.

Photobucket

This is what I call 'Fans In the water'. Photo credit Junior Idol Website.

To make things worse, the event starts at 5pm. And at that time, the sun was scorching on us. Ahhh..sunburn again!! And I mean really really glaring hot! After standing looking at the many Fung Fans, idol fans, Leo's fans etc. already in the water, me and KC with my two cousins decided to 'get in to the water'. Hahaha. Doesn't matter....to support our idols up there...a little bit of water is no big deal! So once in the water, I called Bernice Fanclub's Person-In-Charge(Being extra careful handling my 'brand new' phone!! I'll COL-Cry Out Loud if it drops into the water!!!) because I promised to help support Bernice. So after searching through all the fans(Fung, Leo, Jovin, Karen, Allan etc etc) I found Bernice's banner. We got a banner each and before Bernice's appearance, it functions as a sun shade. Hahaha.

Photobucket

Four Junior Idol hosts with panel of judges sitted on the right. I think you can figure out where is Raymond sitted. Hahaha.

After waiting, the event started. First Vincent Wong appeared doing some introductions etc. Then the other hosts were introduced including Vivienne Yeo, King Kong and that funny Malaysian Astro host which I forgot her name. They then introduced the judges which included Hotcha, Fellest, Chelsia Chan (Puan Sri), Bernice Liu, Amber Chia, Raymond Lam, Leu Ku etc. And when Bernice appeared we waved our banners up high and Bernice spotted us and waved at us!! And when Raymond appeared, my reaction was...."Look at that!! He wear that hat again!!!" And King Kong when introducing Raymond, hillariously said that he will be the next Raymond Lam and also both of them represents 'youth' because both of them wear the same kind of hat. LOL.

So the event went on with the contestants doing some performance in singing and dancing. And then after that, Raymond performed the sub themesong to Moonligh Resonance. Took a clip of it but sorry of the cut midway because the person in front of me was blocking me with his banner!!! But luckilly managed to continue taking the video. Also, sorry if its shaky!! This is the 3rd time I hear Raymond sing live. First time was during Wah Lai Toi Awards 2006 performing the theme to The Last Breakthrough and Old School Medley with Ron Ng, second time during Wah Lai Toi Awards 2007 performing 'Searching for you In Loving Memory' and third time, this. His singing improved a lot! But of course, he sings well all these while.

After that, I saw Bernice was not sitted at the judging table so I guess she must be going to perform something. But actually it was an acting challenge round for the contestants. The artiste were asked to challenge the idols on acting skills based on TVB series. And Vincent Wong took back his role from War of In-Laws 2, Bernice took her role from Wasabi Mon Amour, Raymond took his role from Moonlight Resonance and also Alfred from Heart of Greed, King Kong acted as the Monkey God from Journet to the West while Vivienne Yeo took her role from War of In-Laws 2 too. I took clips for Bernice and Raymond's part. At this time I was sneaking, sneaking and managed to stand at the front. Hahaha. And also the sun already set, so it isn't hot anymore. But my legs are soaked in water for like 3 hours already!! Hahaha.

Bernice Liu Challenges Idol

I feel that the second sketch is funny. LOL. Try listening to what Bernice says. Haha. And also the idol's acting is not bad.

Raymond Lam Challenges Idol

I felt that Raymond was making things a little hard for the contestants. Hahaha. There was one funny part where he said that he just flew back from Korea and got a lot of Kimchi. LOL. Which was actually true! Hahaa.

After that, Hotcha performed a song and also expressed that they will be releasing their album in Malaysia soon. Then after that, there were also some games with the hosts and Hotcha together with the contestants. King Kong is one funny guy. LOL. They were playing water games.

After the Idols were being water-gunned, now it is the artiste turn to get ready to be played!

Photobucket

Payback time!!!

Bernice also performed a song during the event. She sang the themesong from Steps, 'I'm So In Love With You'. I got that video recorded! Bernice singing was OK but she got a little off key at some parts. After that, there was the announcement of final 5 and more challenges like singing with Leo Ku and dancing with Fellest. After that the final 2 was chosen and it was Allan and Jovin. Before the final 2 were to be challenged, Leo Ku performed a song of his. And the hosts also did some performance. King Kong jumped into the water and ran around to the audience during his performance to shake hands and I managed to shake his hand too. LOL.

Photobucket

Then after that the winner was annouced after some challenges between the two idols which I will not disclose too much here as TVB8 will be broadcasting this if I'm not mistaken this weekend. After the event, the artiste were asked to record advertisments for Junior Idol Finals. And it was a very nice experience to see them doing their job behind screen. First, the crew took a few pages of papers and gave one each to all the artiste. Then I saw all the artiste reading it and they were to memorise it in just like a few minutes! Chelsia Chan was carrying her mic everywhere while talking and walking on stage so I could hear her conversation with them because the audio isn't off yet. LOL. She read her script in mandarin and kept repeating and repeating trying to memorise. Then she asked Fung if she read her line in mandarin correctly? And Fung said yes. LOL. Then I think Fung told her that his script was harder to memorise. And she answered, "Yes, I got the easiest one to memorise! Don't snatch with me. Yong har lou yan kar la.(Be easy with me, your elder)" And when the camera man was ready to roll, she said, "Wait! My make-up is already wearing off!" LOL. So I saw her wiping her face with tissue and doing her make-up. And she took many takes to complete her shot. LOL. She kept on NG-ed. Haha. Then Bernice filmed the ad and she NG-ed about 2 or 3 times. After that Raymond's turn. And wow! He got it done in one take! LOL. I didn't even realise he finished already.

So after that, I saw Bernice and Ray walking to leave the venue. So we ran towards the backstage and managed to see them walking to the car to the hotel. There were too many security guards and fans around even to shake hands with them. Then we walked back and then waited for Leo Ku. LOL. And I managed to shake his hand. And OMG...his hand is so smooth. LOL. And I mean really smooth! Hahaha. After that Hotcha came out. There were only like 1 security guard and not many people around. Just us. LOL. Because Hotcha is not really known among Malaysians yet. But I know them because I watched JSG Awards 2007. Hahaha. So I shook hands with all 3 of them. And after they left, I realised how stupid I was for not asking for a photo with them. LOL.

Then my aunt and mum wanted to leave already. And I said I wanted to wait for Vivienne. But she told me they are hosts so they won't leave so early. But then, hahaha...Vivienne appeared. So I walk towards the front and asked her, "Sau Wai, ho em ho yi tong lei ngat sau ar?"(Sau Wai, can I shake hands with you?) And then she stretched her hand out and we shook hands. LOL. Then some fans rushed out to take pictures with her. We wanted to take pictures with her too but then, the security guards already rushed her away. She waved by to us and said, "ngo cao la! Bye Bye ar!"(I'm leaving already, Bye!) Then after that we looked beside and realised King Kong was there too taking pictures with his fans and leaving already. OMG...I didn't even realise he was there!

Photobucket

Vivienne Yeo turning around to say Bye to us! My cousin took this picture and after studying the picture in more detail, I think the girl on the left is me. LOL.

Then again, my mum said let's go. And after we walked towards the exit, KC shouted my name. And she said, "Ivy!! Vincent!!" Hahaha. So again, I rushed back LOL. And I asked Vincent could I take a picture with you? And he said OK. LOL. So I took a picture with him. And very surprising, when he take pictures, he put his arms on my shoulder. Hahaha. So I also shoulder hug him back but LOL he is too tall..so my arm couldn't reach his shoulder. Only his back. LOL. After that, I saw Amber. So I asked if I could take a picture with her? And she looked around and see no guards around and gestured to us, "Come." So we took a picture with her. And Amber too! LOL. She put her arms around my shoulder too. LOL. So I shoulder hugged her too...but again, Amber is too tall...hahaha. So my arms could only reach her back too. LOL. After that, Amber asked us how was the show? Was it nice? And KC answered her that it was nice. Haha.

Photobucket

Vincent Wong taking pictures with a fan after the event

After that, we spotted Puan Sri Chelsia Chan. The younger generations may not know her but she is a composer, actress and singer from Hong Kong. She used to sing with the Wynners and dated Kenny Bee before married to Tan Sri William Cheng. KC asked me to call her Chau Ha Jie Jie. So I did! I totally forgotten that she has a 'Puan Sri' title. But after I called her Jie jie, she turned around and looked at me. And I asked her could I take a picture with her? And she smiled and said, "Sure, Ok!" LOL. So that was the end of the event after they all left. It was another memorable event and was worth it although we had to soak our feets in water for almost 5 hours!!! Hahaha. By the way, my brother and mother ended up getting into the water too to have a closer look at the artiste.LOL. They folded up their pants. hahaha.

Updates....

I lost my cellphone last Saturday!!!! I love that phone very much and now it is gone!!! Very sorry, wasn't updating for the last few days because was busy tracking down my phone, doing police report, getting a new phone(Samsung SGH-i450) and also re-activating my phone number.

Today I received my prize from Batgwa. Hehehe. Thanks Batgwa for Joey's autographed CD, Poster and also the TVBuddy key ring!

Besides that, I was shopping for my phone and somehow ended up in the CD shop. LOL. And I saw Moonlight Resonance DVD! It is part 1 of the DVD(episodes 1-20). So I was thinking should I wait for all of the episodes to come first or just get part 1 now?...........In the end I bought it...LOL. I'm at episode 9 right now and so far I feel that it's better than Heart of Greed in terms of storyline, quotes etc. This series makes you laugh...then cry...then laugh...then cry again! Hahaha. At least that's what is happening to my mum. She's glued to the TV screen watching MR as i type right now...I think she's already up to episode 13.....

Another update is I will be going down to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow morning and will be back on Monday. I will be attending Junior Idol Finals at Sunway Lagoon on 7th September, Sunday. Artiste appearing are Raymond Lam, Bernice Liu, Yoyo Mung, Kenneth Ma, Joe Ma, Vivian Yeo, Leo Ku, Vincent Wong, Hotcha etc etc Besides that, Bowie Lam and Maggie Siu will be going to One Utama this weekend too.

The Drive Of Life Special : FungPong Blog #8

Wah Zhan Pong Blog : Nobody can stop me

If I want to do something, no one can stop me. What I want to do is help Kwok Wai gain 30 million, then my father will invest into my hot springs resort. I said before I will do it, then I will certainly get it done. My sister kept on asking me to stop, she's afraid that she couldn't keep the secret from dad anymore. Wing Sau Fung also asked me to stop. She was afraid that the garden view units will drop in price.

They all are looking down on me. My judgement is never wrong(previously I was only played by Ngai Tin Hang), in the end I won right? I am always victorious.

My father is the person that looks down at my potential the most. He was sure that I will bring big disaster to the company, thus he forced me to apologise and express my guilt to the shareholders. But then, I helped the company to gain 30 million, what wrong had I done? Unless, they complain that they have too much money.

But in this world, who will complain that they have too much money? Daddy?

P.S. : Nosy Fong Bing Yi does not know how to differentiate bad and good, exposed this young master's money making plans. I promise, I will give her the punishment until she will kneel down and beg for mercy! HA HA HA~~~~

Wing Sau Fung Blog : Excited

I have to remember this day. Today is the day where Wing Sau Fung earned the most money since birth! When I managed to sell off all 50 units of Zhan Pong's garden view houses, I was so excited until I was standing laughing and screaming out loud. Everyone thought I was a fool.

True, I am a fool. But then, I am the greediest fool. Even if I'm silly, I want to be even more silly than this!What a pity, mama is in Beijing and could not celebrate with me. I already told her on the phone that I will treat her to an abalone feast. Mama is not around, so I have to celebrate myself. I did something that I wanted to do for a long time---shop crazilly at the branded store. That bag, that skirt, that shirt and that high-heels.....I have eyed them for a long time but then I didn't want to spend the money. But today, I achieved my wishes at last!

I believe that to have the ability to make my own money and spend my own money, that is what a women should be proud of.

When I was trying on a skirt, the salesperson also agreed that I looked good in it. At that moment, I thought about Wah Zhan Pong. This man, he made me make so much money. What about, I wear this skirt for dinner with him?

Original Blog post from TVB The Drive of Life Blog

Please credit me if the translations are reposted. Thank You.

Ivy : Thought I'll post another FungPong blog before I go to bed. Charmaine was online for a whole 2 hours today at BBS looking at her news from 2007. Either she was so engrossed in reading or she left her browser on. LOL. She didn't post any messages this time.

Talking about The Drive of Life, Astro Wah Lai Toi will be airing it from October onwards. So by calculations, this series should end by around the voting time for Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards 2008! Hopefully it will be another eventful awards ceremony as it was last year!

Also more good news I received(I seem to be receiving many good news since the trip to KL...which of course is good and I'm happy for it!). First is I won an Olympic TVBuddy key ring from Batgwa Community!! Hahaha. And secondly, Super Trio Show will be coming over to Penang for filming from 22nd September to 26th September. I'll post more updates on Super Trion once they are available. Hope that more TVB artistes and also the ones I like will attend! Also I'm keeping my fingers cross for Charmaine!

Alright, time for bed! Goodnight!
