《富贵平安》"Peace and Prosperity"

《富贵平安》"Peace and Prosperity"  is a 170 episode TV drama that is currently airing on MediaCorp Channel 8, Mondays to Fridays, at 7.30pm.

The story revolved around the people working in Prosperity Hall (富贵堂，a 50-year-old Chinese medical hall) and its immediate neighbourhood. Besides the big cast, there was always something to learn in each episode about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Some of the characters would mention that some foods would clash with other foods and, thus, would cause allergic reactions such as diarrhea, etc. They would also educate us, the audience, on the benefits of certain herbs. 

On top of that, the pace of the story was just right. The relationship between the characters and how they would develop was also interesting enough to keep watching.

Our Leaflet and Flyer Box

I was looking for the right material to make a leaflet and flyer box for our flat. It so happened that Lynn bought a box of Lego and the size of the box was just right for this.

I cut the sides of the box and punched two holes behind as shown in the picture below.

I typed some words,  printed it landscape on a piece of A4 sized paper and pasted it on the front to the sides of the box.

Then, I used 2 fasteners bought from Daiso and tied the box to the gate of our flat. This type of fastener can be removed and re-fastened or re-adjusted.

This helped to reduce the mess created from pieces of leaflets and flyers that dropped to the floor. This also made it easier to open the main door as sometimes, those people placed the flyers/leaflets in weird positions that made it hard for us to open the door without first removing the leaflets. This was a problem when our hands were full of things.

Most of the flyer distributors were quite cooperative and put them inside this box. There were some who still placed the flyers and leaflets elsewhere, but those were in the minority. So now, we can take the leaflets out when our hands were free.

Episode 9 of 《隐藏的歌手》“The Hidden Singer" - Leon Lai 黎明

Episode 9 of 《隐藏的歌手》"The Hidden Singer" was telecast on MediaCorp Channel U last night. This is a variety show where a real singer and 5 impersonators would sing behind 6 closed doors for the audience to guess where the real singer is. 

I don't usually watch this show. However, I watched episode 9 《隐藏的歌手》"The Hidden Singer" as Leon Lai (黎明) was the real singer in this episode. It was quite funny how this episode started with the TV host 黄子佼 coming up to the stage singing one of Leon Lai's songs, 《甜蜜蜜》。Most people of my generation or earlier would probably know that this song was originally sung by Teresa Teng (邓丽君)。《甜蜜蜜》was also the theme song of a Chinese movie of the same name. When I first heard Leon Lai's version of the song 《甜蜜蜜》, I thought it sounded a bit weird (probably too used to Teresa Teng's version). However, as I listened a few more times, I found that Leon's version was just as nice. It had a flavour of its own (别有一番风味).

In this episode, Leon Lai and his impersonators sang a few Cantonese songs. However, one of the Cantonese songs sung by Leon, which was one of my favourites, was not performed on last night's show. It was 《如果这是情》。It was one of the songs in the Hong Kong TV drama 《人在边缘》"The challenge of Life".

There is also a Chinese version of this song named 《今生相爱 来生再相聚》。However, I could not find it on Youtube.
