Issue 658 of TVB Weekly is more or less an advertisement for the mega-casted movie 72 Tenants of Prosperity (72家租客), said to be releasing on February 11, 2010, in time for Chinese New Year. The cast is too large to name, so you can refer to handy-dandy Wikipedia or the official site. Nevertheless, this issue only takes a look at some of the more main artists, including Eric Tsang, Jacky Cheung, Anita Yuen, Bosco Wong, Stephy Tang, Wong Cho Lam, and Linda Chung. There is also a nice spread of the entire cast joyously celebrating under a sky of confetti. Gorgeous Bernice Liu and cute Kate Tsui stand on the side. See if you can identify anymore big stars through the flock of arms and hands!!
As a bonus, a hot Florence Kwok graces the cover of TVB Life.

Twitter is the trend lately, whether for keeping updated with your friends, favorite blogs, local and/or global breaking news, entertainment, or even your most beloved actors, actresses, idols, singers, musicians, whatever. Although I still don’t understand why anyone would have a following number over 100, I really do believe Twitter is a fast, convenient, easy to use, and totally awesome form of short, simple, and sweet communication that fits well in this modern generation that’s always racing against time.
Today, after getting home from dealing with everything else in life, I was very bored so of course, I was on Twitter browsing around needlessly. When visiting two Twitter pages of artists I know of, Sammul Chan and Bernice Liu, I decided, "Well, maybe I should check out who they follow." I basically went on a "Find People" hunt and in doing so, found quite a few other artists (I at least know the name of) on Twitter, albeit none that I really care about. The result of my "hardwork" is in the list below, in no particular order.
