宫心计

托个朋友的福,好心借我《宫心计》的DVD,才有机会看这部好看的2009年的港剧:p

看了第一集就会想追看下一集,结果我在几天内追看完全部三十一集

这个TVB 2009 的《宫心计》演员包括 陈豪、郑嘉颖、佘诗曼、杨怡、米雪、关菊英、李诗韵等,

有看过『溏心风暴』的观众,一定不会对陈豪、杨怡、关菊英感到陌生(在『溏心风暴』陈豪饰演得得地(小鲍),杨怡饰演卓文丽,关菊英饰演小妈秀琴)

我觉得这部戏有点类似韩剧《大长金》,都同样有个心地善良,重情义,有同情心的大好女人,只是主角的背景不一样,

《大长金》里的“徐长今”是朝鲜王朝历史上首位女性御医

《宫心计》里的“刘三好”是出身官家,从入宫当宮婢到做手饰手艺非常了得的司珍,坚守亡母「做好事、说好话、存好心」,行事做人的宗旨。

不过这部戏演得最枪镜的是饰演“姚金鈴”的杨怡,她把这“最阴毒的女人”的角色演活了,她因这部戏拿下『我最喜愛的电视女角色』,是众望所归,印像最深刻是她在最后一集,求马元贄带她一起逃跑,馬元贄不肯还掌她兩巴, 她在走投无路时,干脆以同归于尽的心情一剑把马元贄刺死,够狠够绝。。。她的眼神。。真像一个疯婆子!

或许是演好人没什麽好发挥,佘诗曼的“刘三好”感觉平平

为了配合皇宫的背景,戏里的头饰,饰品,戏服,很“花丽”, 画妆很鲜颜很浓,皇后皇妃,还有尚宮与她四个司制,哈哈还可看到这些女演员有放假眼睫毛,绻到很翘,很浓的眼妆。

陈豪饰演的李怡对三好暗生好感,但知道刘三好与忠臣摯友高顯揚相恋,两情相悦,并“没强人所难“,和在『溏心风暴』的”得得地“一样大好人

显扬遇难,生死未卜。皇帝为保三好,纳为妃嫔:华妃的照片,我觉的这妆扮不大好看,尤其是她的头饰太复杂,不适合她。。。

丽妃的妆扮很艳丽,但还不错,有点“妖艳美”

这个由李诗韵饰演的贤妃的妆扮就很不赖,蛮甜美的。。。可能是她甜美的外型。。适合她吧

TVB的连续剧再一次没让观众失望!这部宫廷中尔虞我诈、猜疑人心的游戏规则,有人为达目的,变得狡诈阴险,利慾薰心,不折手段,埋沒良知,刻化人性的故事,不竟让人联想起现实生活不也如此。。。唉。。。所以还是要求平凡,开开心心就好。。。

時間過得真快....去年匆匆忙忙....發生了很多事......趕著辦完了我們的婚禮... 三個星期後就是華人的農曆新年....

愿大家一年一年開心過, 一生快快樂樂, 一世平平安安, 虎年旺旺年! :p

因為要趕兩邊吃團圓飯,這次我和我的姊妹決定除夕在娘家吃 reunion lunch, 晚上就在in–law 的家吃reunion dinner

Reunion dinner 由Father-in-law親自下廚烹飪,

reunion dnr 2010

真正的菜名其實我也不曉得, 以下是我自己給它們的菜名

有鮮美好吃的

紅醬蝦 ( 蝦很新鮮, 肉有彈性, 醬是Father-in-law用買來的醬料加了一些調味做好的,吃起來像是番茄味帶一點辣)

big prawn

人月牌鮑魚片花姑扒生菜 (用從NTUC 買回來的罐頭鮑魚:New Moon NZ premium grade)

New Moon abalone, black mushroom & vege

番茄榨菜清蒸石斑

steamed shi ban in sauce

帶子豆腐

beancurd with scallop & sauce

酥炸金元寶

yuan bao

炸雞

fried chicken

紅酒配新年佳餚,大家都吃得很開心!

初一

到一個親戚家(很多人聚在一起吃buffet還有ah ma做的"超好吃的薄餅"), 過後回娘家拜年

我們為可愛的niece拍了很多照片,她表情多多,最喜歡她開心的笑容:p

smile

我也終於如願以償,和她拍了合照

初二

到另一個親戚家吃魚生與buffet...

吃完後看電視,我拿著手機拍了一些照片

哈哈,我們也吃了很多新年cookies & snacks

這個Jelly Cheese cake很好吃 (聽說是在Downtown East 的 Emicakes 買的)

紅色的Jelly是帶甜與一點黏性但味道蠻好的

突然想起, 小妹曾提起的她的女兒Charlotte去年底一歲Celebration上的蛋糕也是在Emicakes 買的,我們吃了也是覺得很好吃...

膀晚我們去Marina Square 看電影:蘇乞兒(True Legend)

True Legend

趙文卓的功夫場面挺不錯但總覺得有周杰倫出場的部分有點悶(可能每次他出現的時候,為了配合不會功夫的他,功夫場面會打得比較慢, 結果看起來很假), 戲裡三個中國演員(趙文卓, 周迅 還有演蘇起兒兒子的小演員)最搶鏡,

本來演大壞人:袁烈的安志杰表現也不賴, 但很快就被蘇燦(蘇乞兒)打死了,未免太容易了吧

總結:這部戲平平,不是特別好看(可能是劇情不夠吸引人吧)

過後我們到春到河畔(River Hongbao) 走走

很多人擠在這"群虎鬧春"與虎合照

這個是會擺動的孔雀公主的花灯

還有十二生肖的花灯與运程說明

不過這次春到河畔的規模感覺很小(去年比較大),雖然人很多,但走一圈就走完了,所以有點失望...

除三

我們很累,一直待在家裡休息,直到徬晚才到Orchard 吃晚餐, 過後到Orchard Central頂樓拍照(去年底來的時候,帶的照相機不大能拍夜景,結果拍到很不清晰,所以這次再來希望能拍到周圍幽美的夜色)

Orchardcentral_1

可是今天水池旁的燈光太暗了,好不容易才拍到幾張照片

orchardcentral_2

人也比平時少,沒人幫我們合照

還好在這裡有地方可以放相機,set timer to take photo,總算有一張合照了:p

Pearl of Orient taste the best, Chamomile taste quite alright, haha as for Morrocan Mint feel its taste exactly like those peppermint chewing gum….

We also try its salmon salad ( finished within a short while as taste yummy specially love its salad sauce:honey mustand dressing, taste great! )

sausage platter:sauerkraut(咸菜), potato & sausage~ all taste great as well, specially like the “potato prata”(duNo the actual name for this fried shredded potato)

Had went to try this Sun with Moon Japanese Dining last year (2009) near Christmas time at Wheelock Place branch as been recommended by an couple friend, saying ambient & food there not bad…..Just happen I got a 15% discount coupon so we go try eat…now then blog as damn busy that time….

Yes the restaurant look great with nice decoration & I’m happy as think of able to take many nice photos while eating there. But when we flashes the discount voucher, we are bring to another smaller room at a corner which already have some customer there, inside the room, decoration not as nice as the main one. According to the waitress those with discount voucher has to sit in this smaller room….

The room is quite dark very difficult to take photos but I still manage to take pictures of the food after many tries & resolution of photos are quite bad lor

we order the following dishes,

Tonkotsu Ramen ~ $15.80

Green Tea ~ 2 at $1.80

Total bill : $54.25 after the 15% discount

Food taste actually not bad & quite yummy, comparable to Sushi Tei just that price abit more expensive & serving is quite little…. we both not full after finish eating so we go eat some snack after that…..
