Chinese Fantasies

by admin October 13, 2012 No Comments

This genre in Chinese literature has probably remained unknown to the Western world until Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon hit the big screens in Hollywood. Going by Western classification, this genre would probably go under fantasy. I would call it fantasy+historical romance. Growing up in the 1970s, I was quite familiar with the tacky Hongkong sword-fighting […]

Off-Guard Tonight 今夜不设防

by admin July 9, 2012 No Comments

今夜不设防 or translated as Off-Guard Tonight, was a shocking TV programme first telecast in Hongkong. The hosts in the programme were science fiction writer Ni Kuang, talk show host, lyricist, film director James Wong Jim and Singapore’s very own (but often rejected) film-maker, writer and culinary expert, Cai Lan (Chua Lam). The show saw the […]

Leslie Cheung on Off-Guard Tonight. If you can read between the lines, the guys seemed quite aware of Leslie’s orientation. The beginning part was all laughter and jokes. Then, he got a little more serious and talked about his life. He talked about his home. Leslie put a lot of emphasis on his home. He […]

Their first episode! Retired actress Cherie Chung is a woman who can kill with her eyes. Our 3 guys risked their lives to invite her on their show. They talked about marriage, asked her if she’s worried that her husband might get tired of her looks? Why bother to get married? Why not just cohabitate? […]

This is Idy Chan. She shot to fame with Andy Lau in the very first make of 神雕侠侣. On this show, she talks about her ideal man and how she ran into her first love and he still gave her palpitations. Ni Kuang said something outrageous. He said that the ultimate aim of romance is […]

I like James Wong Jim’s “doesn’t matter if you want to scold us”. This episode features Taiwanese actress Joey Wong. Can you tell who is Japanese and who is Singaporean at the airport? Ni Kuang said that you can tell who is Singaporean simply by spotting the square people. Wong thinks that being tall is […]

Dewdrop Notes works with another rebel/maverick. Malaysian girl Angeline Tan hails from Johor Baru. She came to Singapore to pursue further education some 5 years ago and graduated with a diploma at one of our local polytechnics. She started modelling at the age of 21. But her then boyfriend (Singaporean) was against it, objecting to […]

Q: What kind of fruits do you like? Chua Lam: Any fruit that is sweet. Q: Why is that? You don’t like sour fruits? CL: My impression. Fruits ought to be sweet. As simple as that. Q: Of all the sweet fruits out there, which is your favourite? CL: Ah! That’s just like asking me […]
