Delicious Destiny. 8.5

Story: 9

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: the Perfect Match (Taiwanese drama) ; Chocolate (kdrama) ;

This is one of those melodramas that are highly frustrating, that suck you in even though you scream and roll your eyes at everyone’s antics. Especially when practically half the cast is manipulative and evil. I mean you have a few of the main characters and her side of the family who are just the pushpins for the the villains to torture. And yes, I’m looking at you grandma and Ye Yi Lan! I don’t know which one was worse (well probably grams since she tried grooming her granddaughter into her so yeah.) I also doesn’t help that the main male lead is dumb and naive as the female lead. I hate to use dumb too, but I don’t know how many times he blankly trusts his ‘female best friend’ after she tries to sabotage everything fifty million times. Nevertheless the drama is highly engaging, very entertaining and enjoyable. Would I watch it again. Hell no, but I would definitely recommend it once for those who like it melodramatic and soapy.

At the moment, you can also find this video on YouTube, but I don't trust their overzealous copyright bots to ignore that this is clearly fair use so I'm uploading it to Tumblr, too.

In Episode 9 of Season 3 of 我们的歌/Our Song, Da Zhangwei and Wang Sulong sang a medley of twelve songs titled We All Have a Home. Having never heard any of them before, I was curious, so I found all the original songs. Since some are things like folk songs, these are obviously not THE original recordings of all of them, but previous performances of the traditional version of the song.

Their performance (if you haven't seen it before, definitely watch first!) The full episode of Our Song

Of course my favourite character would turn out to be the guy who killed hundreds (thousands?) in his past life as a corrupted king why did I not see that coming

Sun x Moon in The On1y One

I wrote briefly earlier about the “looking at the moon” scene in episode eleven of The On1y One, but regardless of how this cookie crumbles in the last episode, I think this conversation was excellent.

The boys are the sun and the moon, which I wrote about at the midway point of the series.

Wang is sun-coded. He is yellow and orange. He is openly friendly to his peers and warm toward them.

And the show has stated that he is the sun like when Wang was teasing Tian about the love poems he marked in the book, all the love poems were about the sun!

A girl's shyness is like a tender cherry under the sunlight; 16- and 17-year-olds are like fruits in the morning sun, sparkling

Therefore, the love poems were about Wang.

Tian is moon-coded. He is blue (and black). He isolates himself from his peers and is cold toward them. And now the show is stating that.,

But just like the book of love poems that revealed how Tian feels about Wang, we get an indirect glimpse of how Wang feels about Tian through this conversation.

It doesn't matter how good or bad the subtitles are because the focus is that Tian views the moon as something bad.

Life has it's ups and downs just like the moon waxes and wanes. It feels like everything connected to the moon is sad and full of regret. The moon shines on Earth every day, but only lights up half of it. Is that half kind of an eternity?

Tian thinks of himself and his life as sad. Everything that is connected to him, he thinks is full of regret. And he only allows people to see his outside by never letting others in. Yet Wang started this conversation off by stating his mom loved the moon and the Teresa Tang song, which we all of know since it was also featured in Moonlight Chicken!

"The Moon Represents My Heart" is an extremely popular Chinese song:

You ask how deeply I love you And just how great my love is My affection does not waver And my love doesn’t change The moon represents my heart

So not only has Wang established that he was raised to love the moon, but he also mentions this song which declares that he feels very deeply for his love and the fullness of the moon represents that love, which is probably why in the fourth episode, he was on the moon when his rocket ship came to get him.

In response to Tian's comments about the moon, Wang offers his take on the moon:

I don't agree with that. I think the moon often symbolizes light and hope, so even if it's only half, or just a moment, a second, as long as it's imprinted in your mind, it's eternal.

The conversation began because Wang's mom would ask his dad to pick between the moon and the sixpence, and in this, we see the great debate of love versus money, the future versus the present, and the abstract versus the practical. The moon is far and can't be held yet the sixpence is close and can be held. The moon would take time to get to, but the sixpence is within reach. The moon is a thought since it holds no value that can be seen, but the sixpence is money that can be used! And that's why the moon is love. And that's why Tian is the moon.

The Eclipse, Big Dragon, and Moonlight Chicken are just some BLs that gave us this sun and moon,

And the thing that they all get right is that the moon isn't the negative while the sun is positive.

The sun can burn. The sun can blind. The sun can harm. So it isn't always the positive entity that people tend to make it out to be. But the moon offers light in darkness. The moon guides the water in and out of the shores. The moon gives hope and guidance to those struggling.

So Wang's mom wanted him to pick the moon because she wanted him to pick love. She wanted him to see the possibilities rather than settle for what he had, which wasn't much. She wanted him to look to the future instead of worrying the present. She wanted him to not fear the distance, but instead know that the moon would guide him toward it. She wanted him to have hope.

And Tian gave him all of that.

So the conversation is lasagna. It has layers. It's about all these different things, but all these different things are the same thing. It's about Wang's mom. It's about the moon. It's about Tian. It's about love.

And it's about hope because regardless of what happens and no matter the distance, the moon always shines in the darkest of times, and guides those who are lost.

So even if everything looks bleak and all hope is lost, the moon will guide you home.

Xavier Bettel, Prime Minister, Guy Daleiden, Director of Film Fund Luxembourg and by Marc Ungeheuer, Ambassador of Luxembourg in Paris.

The trip to Cannes opened with a visit to the "Film Market" where 12,500 cinema professionals from 121 countries gathered to present and discover 4,000 films (including a dozen Luxembourgish productions) adapted to the technological and creative requirements of cinema. The Grand-Ducal Couple stopped in particular at the German, Belgian, French, Portuguese, Irish Quebec and European pavilions before joining the Luxembourg pavilion.

The Head of State presented decorations of honor to Myriam Achard, head of the New Media Partnerships of the Centre Phi de Montreal, and Guilhem Caillard, General Director of Cinémania, the Montreal Film Festival, for the excellence of the ties established with the Grand-Duché.

A Luxembourgish reception was organized in the evening with professionals from the audiovisual sector of the Grand-Duché.

This year, five Luxembourgish co-productions compete at the 76th Cannes Festival: Wang Bing's "Youth" (Official Competition), Rodrigo Moreno's "Los Delincuentes" and Ali Asgari and Alireza Khartami (Official Look Competition), Bertrand's "Conann" Mandico (Fifteen Film Artists Selection) and Vladimir Perisic's "Lost Country" (Critical Week selection).

DARE VOCE / Focus su Training e Parolaun pomeriggio di Workshop sulla Voce condotto da NicoNote

Rivolto a tutti coloro interessati alla VOCE. NicoNote propone un pomeriggio di studio che prende le mosse dalle sue pratiche e il suo training e processo di messa in voce. Un pomeriggio di lavoro sulla Voce e sulla Parola, con momenti di pratica fisica e momenti di riflessione teorica e di esemplificazioni pratiche.

Un approccio alla Voce che abbraccia la tecnica vocale a 360° mutuando pratiche e studi sulla vocalità provenienti da diversi mondi musicali, teatrali, performativi fino a pratiche di meditazione sonora.

NicoNote propone un percorso che offre indicazioni sulle tecniche e fa luce sulle personali possibilità dei singoli, senza guardare il fatto vocale con agonismo e tensione.

Renungan 9Okt2023

Bacaan Injil Luk 10,25-37

Kemudian seorang guru Taurat datang untuk memerangkap Yesus. Dia bertanya, “Guru, apakah yang harus saya lakukan supaya mendapat hidup sejati dan kekal?” Yesus menjawab, “Apakah yang tertulis di dalam Alkitab? Bagaimana tafsiranmu?” Orang itu menjawab, “ ‘Kasihilah Tuhan Allahmu dengan sepenuh hatimu, dengan segenap jiwamu, dengan segala kekuatanmu, dan dengan seluruh akalmu’; dan ‘Kasihilah sesama manusia seperti kamu mengasihi dirimu sendiri.’ ” Yesus berkata kepadanya, “Jawapanmu itu benar. Berbuatlah demikian, dan kamu akan mendapat hidup sejati dan kekal.” Tetapi guru Taurat itu hendak membela diri, lalu bertanya, “Siapakah sesama saya?” Yesus menjawab, “Seorang lelaki turun dari Yerusalem dan pergi ke Yerikho. Di tengah perjalanan, dia diserang penyamun. Mereka merompak dan memukul dia setengah mati, lalu meninggalkannya di tepi jalan. Kebetulan pada masa itu seorang imam lalu di situ. Apabila dia melihat orang itu, dia menyeberang jalan dan meneruskan perjalanan. Demikian juga seorang Lewi lalu di situ. Dia mendekati orang itu untuk melihatnya, lalu menyeberang jalan dan meneruskan perjalanan. Tetapi seorang Samaria yang sedang lalu di situ, tiba di tempat orang itu terbaring. Ketika dia melihat orang itu, hatinya penuh belas kasihan. Maka dia mendekatinya lalu membersihkan luka-lukanya dengan wain dan mengubatinya dengan minyak. Selepas itu dia membalut luka-lukanya dan menaikkan orang itu ke atas haiwan tunggangannya sendiri. Dia membawa orang itu ke rumah tumpangan dan merawat dia di situ. Keesokan harinya orang Samaria itu memberikan dua keping wang perak kepada tuan rumah tumpangan itu dan berkata kepadanya, ‘Rawatlah dia, dan sekiranya wang ini tidak cukup, saya akan membayarnya apabila saya kembali ke sini.’ ” Lalu Yesus mengakhiri ceritanya dengan bertanya, “Menurut pendapatmu, di antara ketiga-tiga orang itu, siapakah yang menjadi sesama orang yang dirompak itu?” Guru Taurat itu menjawab, “Orang yang menunjukkan belas kasihan kepadanya.” Yesus berkata pula, “Pergilah dan berbuatlah demikian!”

Demikianlah sabda Tuhan

Terpujilah Kristus

Siapakah saudara kita? keluarga sendiri? mereka yang seiman dengan kita? Tuhan Yesus mengajarkan pengertian yang tak terduga. Dia menyebut orang miskin, orang sakit, orang asing, dan orang tahanan sebagai “saudara-Ku” (ay 40). Dalam perumpamaan kisah orang Samaria yang baik hati, imam dan orang Lewi yang dipandang sebagai orang baik justru menghindari orang yang terluka namun justru orang Samaria yang bermusuhan dengan Israel pada waktu itu justru tergerak hatinya oleh belas kasihan untuk menolong bahkan membawa ke penginapan dan merawatnya. 

Yesus mengajarkan hukum Kasih dalam ayat 27 untuk ”Kasihilah Tuhan, Allahmu, dengan segenap hatimu dan dengan segenap jiwamu dan dengan segenap kekuatanmu dan dengan segenap akal budimu, dan kasihilah sesamamu manusia seperti dirimu sendiri”. Pada ayat 29 Yesus meminta mengasihi ‘sesama’ yang mewakili kaum lemah, tidak berdaya, bisa jadi tertindas dan terpinggirkan. Mereka memerlukan uluran pertolongan, namun justru kerap diperlakukan sebagai sampah masyarakat. Apa yang dilakukan Yesus sungguh mengejutkan, Ia justru merangkul orang-orang rendah itu sebagai “saudara”, dan menganggap perlakuan terhadap mereka sebagai perlakuan terhadap diri-Nya. Dia memilih bersolidaritas dengan orang-orang yang dianggap hina itu karena Yesus justru datang “bukan untuk memanggil orang benar, tetapi orang berdosa, supaya mereka bertobat” (Luk 5;32) karena semua orang berdosa dihadapan Allah jadi kita menerima karya keselamatan hanya karena kasih karunia Kristus, bukan karena kebaikan kita

Bacaan Injil malam ini kembali mengingatkan saya akan film "The Letters" yang menceritakan tentang pelayanan bunda Teresa, penindasan politik, semangat religius, dan semangat tak terpatahkan dalam karya pelayanannya di India. Bunda Teresa memiliki hasrat untuk melayani, dengan kata-katanya sendiri, "yang tidak diinginkan, yang tidak dicintai, dan yang tidak diperhatikan". Dengan bekal uang lima rupee pemberian Uskup Agung Kalkuta, sandal pemberian suster-suster di Patna dan salib yang disematkan pada bagian bahu kiri kain sarinya serta iman dan visi panggilan Tuhan ia memulai tugas karya misi melayani dan hidup di tengah-tengah kawasan kumuh Motijhil sesuai kisah perutusan dalam bacaan Injil malam Yesus meminta tidak membawa apa-apa, kecuali tongkat. Tidak boleh membawa roti, bekal apa pun termasuk uang, tidak boleh membawa dua baju. Setiap hari Ibu Teresa memulai hari barunya dengan persatuan dengan Yesus dalam Ekaristi, lalu kemudian pergi dengan rosario di tangan, untuk mencari dan melayani Yesus dalam “mereka yang terbuang, yang teracuhkan, yang tak dikasihi” meski mendapatkan berbagai penolakan, ancaman dan penderitaan namun bunda Teresa tetap berteguh akan misi pelayanannya hingga akhirnya perjuangan Bunda Teresa mulai mendapat perhatian dan usulan Kongregasi Misionaris Cinta Kasih yang meletakkan dasar untuk membantu orang-orang "termiskin di antara kaum miskin” disetujui Vatikan seperti tertulis dalam Mat 25;40 “Aku berkata kepadamu, sesungguhnya segala sesuatu yang kamu lakukan untuk salah seorang dari saudara-Ku yang paling hina ini, kamu telah melakukannya untuk Aku”

Faye Wong's January dates may perk up Chinese concert market here (1994)

It is confirmed - Hong Kong pop queen Faye Wong will bring her hit concert to the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Jan 13 and 14 next year.

The Best of Faye Wong Concert '95 may mean a boost for the depressed market for Chinese gigs here. In the British territory, all tickets for her 15 shows (Dec 22 to Jan 5) were reportedly snapped up within two hours after going on sale.

Mr. Jimmy Loh, managing director of Jasper Productions, says he expects the singer, 26, to do equally well here.

He is pricing tickets from $50 to 175 - a far cry from the $300 he charged for the top seats at Jacky Cheung's show here in March.

He says: "The unprecedented ticket-pricing of $300 for Cheung's concert may never come again because Cheung is by far the hottest entertainer around.

"The production costs of Wong's concert is lower because she is relatively new and we are also using a stage with three sides instead of a centre-stage.

"We also hope to lower ticket prices because the turnout for certain Cantopop concerts here has not been too good."

Alan Tam's concert in late July saw the Singapore Indoor Stadium barely 60-percent filled.

George Lam's June date at the Harbour Pavilion was only 80-percent attended, while Leon Lai's April gig had an 85-percent turnout.

The Wong concerts in Hong Kong and Singapore are the first time the China-born is performing together with boyfriend Dou Wei. The Beijing rock singer will play drums.

One can also expect a visual treat from Wong who is noted for her bold image. This is a result of a one-year hiatus in New York in 1992 after recording her first three albums.

She was discovered at the age of 18 by one of Hong Kong's most influential voice coaches, Tai See Chong. He also trained three of the four Heavenly Kings - Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, and Leon Lai.

She made her singing debut in 1990; her first hit was the Cantonese song, Easily Hurt Woman, which inspired a Mandarin version by Cally Kwong.

The track is from Wong's fourth album. This and her subsequent work, Unregrettably Obsessive, sold 300,000 copies each in Hong Kong alone.

The daughter of an engineer and a classical singer who left for Hong Kong from China in 1988, Wong also pens her own lyrics and has been praised for the verses in her hit, Unregrettably Obsessive.

She also has a say in the numbers that go in her albums.

Her latest album, Sky, which hit the shelves more than a month ago, has been hailed by critics as one of the year's best Mandarin albums.

Most of the tracks are originals, and from famous tune-smiths like Huang Shu-chun and Wang Chung-yan.

Wong's style is unrestrained and natural. Her albums like Sky and Mesmerized have an ethereal, dreamy quality and suit her sweet, crystal-clear voice.

Some have come to associate her singing style with that of The Cranberries and her individualistic and alternative stage persona as resembling that of Western contemporaries Bjork and Rickie Lee Jones.

She was even thought to be a shadow of veteran Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng when she first launched her career.

But as Wong moves gradually towards assuming the mantle of Hong Kong pop queen from Sally Yeh, she is displaying an increasingly unique style of singing.

In fact, the young woman pipped Yeh to win the Best Female Vocalist award at the Commercial Radio Hit Awards in Hong Kong in January.

And a week later, she lost the Jade Solid Gold Awards best female vocalist title to Yeh by only a small percentage.

Wong is also the only woman to make this year's list of top-earning entertainers in Hong Kong with an income of $4 million from albums, concerts, movies, and advertisements.

Says Polytechnic student Eric See: "I'm looking forward to the concert since this is the first time Faye Wong is performing in Singapore. The pop phenomenon is hard to miss."
