As I posted about simply as an excuse to post photos of her, Charlie Yeung looks even better now than she did in The Lovers.

It was a bit surreal to be standing in an American multiplex, buying nachos before seeing Indiana Jones, and look up to the monitor and see Charlie in the trailer for the BD remake.

While I think this is going to be another unnecessary remake, I’m very happy the producers went with someone who is older than 21 for the female lead.

Oh, and if you’re looking for another TVB series to watch anytime soon, I highly recommend ‘Catch Me Now’. The best to come out of TVB in a long time IMO.

Yeah, but we’ll never get white Christmas’ in Sydney. Just stinking hot ones. Which I suppose has it’s own unique flair.

I’ve always thought it was weird that school starts in September in the Northern Hemisphere. To me, it is logical that the year begins in Jan and ends in Dec, and I don’t see why that doesn’t apply to school ‘years’ as well. That way, we have the ‘2008 school year’, as opposed to ‘2008/2009 school year’. But I suppose it’s all about what you’re used to. I want to ask, is the holiday structure the same? We have:
10 weeks of school
2 week break
10 weeks school
2 week break
10 weeks school
2 week break
10 weeks school (end of the year)
6 weeks break.

Is it essentially the same system in the Northern Hemisphere, but just at a different time of year?

And I loved ‘The Green Grass of Home’ - although I don’t think all that many people share that opinion. I though Christine Ng was smokin’ hot, but her acting seemed a little lacking, especially next to Sunny Chan who I rate quite highly. Looking forward to reading what you thought of it =)

“Do people in places like Australia and New Zealand synchronize their holidays with North America and Europe”???? No, Sanney, we don’t. What a strange question. We have our holidays when we want to, which means we couldn’t care less when the northern hemisphere does! Our best (school) holiday starts the week before Christmas, & ends at the end of January. That’s summer! There’s no Christmas & New Year’s Eve anywhere else in the world that compare to those in Sydney in summer.
