大长今!!!

Well, I've been MIA on my blog, for one reason because that my main site is STILL down eventhough it's been almost 5 days now. Still waiting to hear back from my host about that. Quite annoying really that it's been down so long.

Secondly, I just got home from mum's hometown today. Went back to Teluk Intan yesterday morning, and came back today evening. Went there for Granddad's birthday, though this time, they celebrated it on Friday, but we had the family dinner on yesterday, and today there was some lunch thing as well but organised by dunno some association/organisation/company or something that my granddad's associated with.

Anyways, as I've known, my grandma's a big fan of this quite famous korean drama called Jewel In The Palace (大长今) which tells the story of this girl called Cheung Gam in cantonese (Jang Geum in korean) who becomes like the first woman imperial doctor or something in korea la. Not really sure myself. I so far have watched like parts of 2 episodes previously and have heard quite a lot about this show.

Only when I went back yesterday did I properly watch the show. They were showing it on Astro Channel30, 3 episodes back-to-back from 4pm to 7pm. Hehhehe... My grandma catches it without fail! So since I'm always where the tv is, I just watched the show for the fun of it. Quite interesting actually, though it isn't something I'd follow la. But the story isn't too complicating, though of course there will be some parts you might not understand if you didn't watch earlier episodes. So far, I watched episode 40-51, and well, Cheung Gam's like helping the Queen who refuses to get a checkup, then finally cured her of her sickness, but now is being set up by this other bitch who's like jealous of her or something la. Hear that that girl likes this guy who insteads likes Cheung Gam. Hahaha... Anyways, got like other people also who dislikes Cheung Gam. The other time I saw the show, Cheung Gam was like in some royal cooking competition or something. I later found out that she was actually a cook or something like that earlier on, but then something happened (i think got 2 ppl die or something?? dunno if related to why she didn't end up being cook anot) and she got kicked out of the palace and came back as a nurse instead. So ya, anyways, that bitch i mentioned earlier joined forces with one of the senior aids (or something like that... wears green colour hanbok - korean costume thing) and now is like trying to sabotage Cheung Gam and at the beginning of episode52, seems to be doing a good job as the senior people including Cheung Gam's teacher begins to doubt her. Now dunno what happening la. I also dunno why got those people dislike her so much. Probably jealous or something. Oh well...

Anyways, ya... i'm quite addicted to the cantonese theme song of that show now. Hahahha... It plays in my head, and I kept humming out the chorus part to annoy my cousin who also watches that show along with my grandma. It's called Hei Mong or Hope, sung by Kelly Chen. Downloaded already. Hahaha... Now downloading the original korean soundtrack for the show just for the fun of it.

I will put a link to that song when I get my main blog up and running again so that you can download it and listen to it like a mad person. And hey, if you feel like singing along, here's the lyrics:

Hon fung jang fei doh yuen mei duen sin
Hon yat saang maan lei lo lo yiu maan maan
Hon hei sang dik geuk bo jun fa wan nuen
Nuen dik sam ngoi jui yik nei dik mei siu

To to fung yue long
Sam seng seung pung jong
Sun jeung loi nang lik chong
Sam jung dik kei mong
Jung yue do kaau ngon
Mei chang juet mong

*Hon fung jang fei go liu mei duen sin
Hon tin hung mo saan jui si sui ding ha
Hon gaan san bat keuk bo bo heung wan nuen
Nuen dik sam ngoi jan sik ngo dik mei siu*

*repeat*

To to fung yue long
Sam sing seung pung jong
Sun jeung loi nang lik chong
Sam jung dik kei mong
Jung yue do kaau ngon
Mei chang juet mong

Fan hoi dik ngaan lui
Seung sam seung gwa lui
Paan jeung chung fung yue seung
Sam jung ji yau mung
Yat tin jung joi jui
Mei loi joi mong

Well, there you have it... the romanised cantonese lyrics for the song! Put your players on Repeat mode and sing along!! Hahhaha...

Wonder how the Korean one goes. I've heard part of it before on tv but I recall it like schoolkids singing wan. Doesn't really sound nice. Oh well, dunnola.

So guess that's all then. Tmrw is monday, and hopefully, I will have some updates on my website. Hopefully it'll be up and running soon! Laterz!

--- btw, it's called "Tua Teng Kim" in hokkien. just fyi if you're curious or something ---
