Entertainment of the month

Weeee~ finally finish watching 家好月圆. Most of the people I know watched this drama long ago but Peter and I haven’t watched it till last week. Friends and relative said they’ve watched it, but didn’t have any DVD/ downloaded files of it. Can't wait anymore, we went to 1U and bought this drama and finish watching it in one week. After we bought it, I realize that my colleague sitting next to me – Alvin, has the downloaded file. Few days later, I realize my younger brother – Joshua, has the DVD. God… how can I missed to ask both of them? It’s not my habit to collect this kind of drama. Drama or movies, both I have no interest to watch the second time, unlike Joshua who can watch uncountable times. Well, The drama was great, but the ending is too common. I’d prefer 溏心风暴.
After complete reading Empress Orchid, The Last Empress is the book I’m reading now. The Last Empress is the story of Orchid"s dramatic transition from a strong-willed, instinctive young woman to a wise and politically savvy leader. Moving from the intimacy of the concubine quarters into the spotlight of the world stage, Orchid must not only face the perilous condition of her empire but also a series of devastating personal losses, as first her son and then her adopted son succumb to early death. Yearning only to step aside, and yet growing constantly into her role, only she—allied with the progressives, but loyal to the conservative Manchu clan of her dynasty—can hold the nation"s rival factions together.
