Synopsis:

There is nothing new under the “moon”.

Generations come and go, but the “love” remains forever.

CHUNG SIU HO (Louise Lee Sze Kei) and her husband KAM TAI CHO (Ha Yu) have been working hard for many years to establish a famous reputation for their Moonlight Cake Shop. However, HO discovers that CHO commits adultery with her best friend YAN HUNG (Michelle Yim) and she breaks up with him miserably. HO brings along her children KAM WING HO (Raymond Lam), KAM WING HING (Fala Chen) and her adopted daughter SUEN HO YUET (Tavia Yeung) to set up another cake shop for a living.

HUNG moves in to live with CHO and she starts playing tricks in the family. She tries pleasing her mother-in-law SHEH KWAN LAI (Lee Heung Kam) in every ways while disuniting her stepson and CHO. Outside the family, HUNG starts expanding their business rapidly and HO’s younger sister CHUNG SIU SA (Susanna Kwan) is displeased. SA decides to fight for the ownership of their cake shop’s brand name in court with HUNG and their relationship with HUNG further deteriorates.

Apart from the cake shop business, HO also spends a lot of efforts on her children. Her oldest son KAM WING KA (Moses Chan) is not interested in managing the cake shop at all and he indulges himself on stock trading. He also develops an entangling relationship with his cousin LO KA MEI (Kate Tsui) and YUET at the same time. On the other hand, HO’s younger son WING HO takes up the role of a father in the family and he works hard all the time to earn a living. WING HO loves his childhood friend CHAU (Linda Chung) whole-heartedly but CHAU is in love with the doctor LING CHI SHUN (Bosco Wong).
HO works hard unconditionally to strive for the well being of her family members. HUNG, on the other hand, is a very mean person who values her own benefits only. CHO is caught between the two women all the time and he feels helpless. One day, a disaster happens at the cake shop. Here comes a time when human nature, family bonds and love are brought to a trail. Credits:tvb.au

My friends always ask me to build up my body saying i am thin, underweight,etc. Well i think so too but didn't really have the time to think bout it. Since i went shopping that day, i entered GNC to enquire(i was told by my friends that i need protein powder as the main ingredient). The sales person then told me that i should not take protein first(she assumes i'm underweight and yea i am =P). She then introduced me this...

She said that i have to build up my weight 1st before i take those protein. After a long discussion, i finally bought this(so called carbohydrate + protein) as a start. I must say its really pricey T_T
She also gave me assurance on the product and customers' feedback. So why don't i give it a try. And the unacceptable part is i have to finish this in 5 days approximately(3 times a day). Imagine 2kg++ powder to finish in 5 days!!

Oh yea, i am off to gym now=P

"In the long run, Mercedes cars are cheaper to maintain and could also save us fuel costs"

It was on the news today..what a joke! Since when Mercedes cars are cheaper to maintain? I remember when i was young..my sis played with the power window switch and broke the glass of the passenger seat and guess what? It cost my dad about RM1k++ just to repair it. And 1 of the reason why my dad sold the car was because it was expensive to maintain. Probably to the rich, it's nothing la.

Back to the article, the Terengganu MBs bought a total of 14 Mercedes-Benz E200K which costs the government RM3.43 million(taxpayer's money) to replace their existing Proton Perdana Executive(the limo type) which was bought in 2004 and they quoted that it was time to change. What nonsense...My parents and I laughed this morning after i read them the article. But the save fuel costs maybe i agree la cause the Perdanas are running on V6 engines. On the cheaper to maintain, i don't think so...What you guys think?

After law class on friday, a group of us consist of Arnold, Jen Sern, Beng Sing, Zai Xi, Marcus, Brian, Tat, Seh Yung, Philip, Zen, Chai Ping, Hui Jeat, Ying Chyi & her fren Mel and me head to TGV Sunway Pyramid for The Dark Knight. A total of 15 tickets altogether and i was in charge to collect the student cards and buy the tickets. We took exactly the whole row in the middlle!

Somewhere in the middle of the movie, K(dunno who's that) called Hui Jeat(i think), who sits on the right side looking for Zen who sits on the left side and we passed their message whispering person to person. It goes like this...

<---(right to left): Ask Zen to call K. --->(left to right): What K want?
<--- : Urgent! *everyone laughs* I rate the show 9.9/10!! 0.1 for a draggy feeling, haha...but overall it was great! Everyone shud watch this movie of the year. Better then Hancock definitely(just in case u want to decide between the two =P) Perhaps you would like to watch the trailer?

~The Dark Knight~

I remember this part in the movie where the Joker ask the mafias to contact him if they agree with his plan-> Here's my card...

~XD~

And there's this part where Bruce use his Lamborghini Gallardo to rescue his employee from a truck and my friends were like "Aww" as the trucks crashes with the Lamborghini. So wasted rite? They just use for that one small part only. I was wondering what if the director ask to retake(and retake and retake) the scene. There goes my dream car...

~Lamborghini Gallardo LP560~

These are warm & heart breaking true stories from Coco Wang of China on 5.12 Earthquake. Please browse through the following stories and really feel grateful for what we have today...Hmm, it reminds me of a phrase in BM during school days, "Berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu memikul." It means u feel really bad when you see, for example people suffering but do you know that it's like a nightmare for those who are going through the suffering. ‏

I'm sure everyone been to Mc' Donalds rite? You should be familiar with their ordering & payment system, i guess...you know...u line up-> order food->pay what is displayed on the cashier's till. Okay, here's what happen yesterday...as i was queuing hungrily for food, i decided to calculate my payment so that i can pay fast and take my food as fast as possible(u know..the 5% service tax stuff). It turn out to be RM15++ & when it was my turn...

Me: 1 McChicken set Regular
McD: Minum?
Me: Sprite tak mau ais
McD: ok..ada order lagi?
Me: er, 1 lagi BigMac burger sahaja...okay, berapa?
McD: Rm17.30
Me: Huh? Oh! *pays the amount while taking extra RM2 from my wallet(wondering how terrible my maths is)

So when i was eating, felt quite boring so i just pick up the bill just now and i noticed something...

Hmm...now i know what went wrong! my maths was alright=) So after finishing my meal, i went to the counter and said:

"Boleh panggil itu manager?"(acting like some customer want to make a scene) *the manager know me since i dealed with her regarding my bro's b'day party arrangement for today*

The manager smiled and came to me...

"Kak, tadi saya order 1 McChicken set regular & 1 BigMac burger sahaja...tengok!(shows the bill)"

"Ooh, sorry ya!"(while the cashier was opening the till to give back the change to another customer, she took RM2.50 from the till & give it to me and says sorry again).

Then something pop out in my mind while i was walking to my car. The manager can take money from the till like that? What happen to the internal control? XD *forgive the audit student who is still uncertain what audit result he will get but i'm praying hard that i will get out of CAT 100% confirm although i'm in ACCA Part 2 now*

Signing off=)

I'm into gaming recently..Gaming as in game consoles especially my PS2 which had been abandoned by me since I step into the world of ACCA. Another reason it was abandoned is because its lens had some problem which resulted restarting the console several times before a game can be launched. So after several attempts, i started to feel fed up so i didn't feel like playing with it, thinking the same thing will happen again and again. So finally i abandoned it. Recently, the arrival of the Nintendo Wii seems to have taken over its role in my bro's room which means the PS2 will be 100% abandoned! I was thinking what a waste after seeing the number of game bought last time so i decided to send the PS2 for repair and use it personally. Definitely i have to fork out the repair cost myself *sighs* as i recalled the last time it was repaired cost RM100++ which was borne half by my sis. Finally i got a call saying my PS2 was ready to be collected yesterday and i picked it up on my way back from college.

Guess what? since the PS2 belongs to me now, i'm going to make full use of it and TADA!!!

Introducing a new way of attaching a PS2...

l-r:PS2, Monitor(without av input), Speaker, Laptop

~it looks as good as new~

& it wouldn't be successful without...

~USB TV BOX(my self-proclaim ASTRO MAX*)~

* Use to record Astro programmes with it frequently..very clear recording(99%) & of course eats a lot of ur HD drive...very useful tool though!

Back to the new Wii..It's a great console i can say..my cousin brought it back from US 2 weeks ago and of course it costs lesser than in Malaysia, say about few hundred ringgit. On the day i fit the console with my bro's TV. I heard a sound 'piak' and then got some smell coming out from the adapter. Guess what, the adapter got burned. I did use the conversion plug(US 125V-> MY 240V) k? So i rushed to get a new adapter and sought advice from those game shops. I brought along the burned adapter. The fella said i needed a universal adapter which cost RM80 and a new adapter(the exact one i had originally) which cost RM120. He suggested a local made one(& cheaper of coz) but he said there were negative feedback on them so finally i said i'll take the ori one. Total=RM200..I was like OMG!! T_T there goes my money!! I tried to bargain. After some time, the fella gave in with a RM20 discount.

The features of the Wii was impressive
- full stimulation mode
- built in WiFi
- news channel with a globe GUI to search for any country's news
- global weather channel
- photo editor(something like photoshop)
- reads and supports SD, MiniSD, MicroSD, etc.
- nintendo cube accessories is also supported

The negative part is it cannot support pirated games. To enable it, you must get it modified at about RM200++. I'm waiting for the price to be lower before i modify it. Currently(currently only XD) i'm an original Wii Games supporter=)

~the Wii itself~

~front view->small yet max functionality~
