Lai Sum, however, has never stopped watching his move, as she always believes he is fooling around behind her back. Sum’s younger brother, Ching Yee (Michael Tse Tin Wah), laughs at Sum a lot, but he also feels sorry for his plight, and gives him practical advices whenever he can. One day, Sum is caught red-handed in Shenzhen by Lai Sum, who proposes to divorce him!

Fate, it is a philosophical concept and no proof exists to support or defy its existence. Yet, the majority of us believe in it. We believe there is an invisible thread tying our paths together. We believe there is someone out there meant only for us. Nevertheless, because we cannot control what is in store for us, we look for ways to tell us what to expect, to foresee our fortune, search for our success, and find our love. Depending on your culture and exposure, you can choose to believe in the zodiac, horoscopes, tarot cards, numerological signs, or fortune cookies. Personally, I’m not one to hunt for my daily horoscope or lucky number, but the romantic side of me does take interest in zodiac readings and astrology, and I do believe in fate, which I think Cupid Stupid uses implicitly well to build up its background story and budding relationships.
In a nutshell, Cupid is a refreshing cliché. I know it’s a contradiction, but let me explain. I say it’s a cliché because well, the premise of the show is a destined love triangle involving one woman and two men. How many times have we seen that before? Maybe not as the spotlighted central story in a TVB series but often enough, right? However, Cupid stands on its own (so far). The script manages to carefully lead one character to know another without making it appear forceful. The directing gives Cupid a nice atmosphere, and the three main characters are all very likeable. Albeit my praises, I don’t think Cupid will be any sort of long-living masterpiece or addicting drama drug. But it will probably serve as good lighthearted entertainment.
Transcriptions of lyrics, pinyin, and translation for the theme song of The Season of Fate (五味人生) are below. I think it clearly describes the character Ma Wing Ching (Roger Kwok) and his philosophy and eventual development in life. Enjoy!

How many words are there to describe satisfaction? I’m content, pleased, happy, fulfilled (?), and wholeheartedly accept winners from this year’s exciting TVB 42nd Anniversary Awards. That was all I needed to make me smile on my special day. Now, read on to see what happened and who won!
There is approximately one week until we find out the results to this year’s TVB 42nd Anniversary Awards, which will broadcast on December 4, 2009. With the ever-raging voices of fans supporting almost the samebatch of nominees, it will be interesting to see whether TVB decides to listen to the masses or continue with their we-don’t-care favoritism tactic. Of course, the latter has a higher chance of happening, as we all should know by now, but last year’s awards proved that to be somewhat wrong. Perhaps, a miracle will light upon us this December.
Although TVB increased the number of nominee slots and changed the date of their usual anniversary broadcast in order to make way for beloved grand productions Beyond the Realm of Conscience and throw in Born Rich as a side treat, there is still some time before we witness the consequence(s) to this decision. Everything may turn out warm and fuzzy and everyone goes home happy. Everything can get "burned to ashes". We’ll see. But the fact that Beyond finishes airing right before the awards show gives it a much bigger advantage over Born and no, I’m not forgetting Rosy Business. However, do you really think Rosy has a chance? Do you? TVB changed the "rules" for a certain reason, and that reason is certainly obvious.
No matter what, show your support, congratulate winners when the time comes, rage as much as you want. But remember, talent is talent. Awards don’t necessarily change that unbendable truth and with that, my picks follow …
Issue 647 of TVB Weekly is mainly a promotional cover of the upcoming TVB 42nd Annivesary. Michael Tse and Ekin Cheng get the spotlight on the entertainment spread. It’s easy to say Michael will definitely win something this year. Also, there are many pages of artists’ wishes for TVB. I find these interesting in the sense that you can tell a lot about a person’s personality by looking at their handwriting and how they use the white space available to them. Some are creative and flowery while some are simple and neat.
Anyway, I think this year’s award show should not disappoint too much. The competition is strong but we do have some great competitors. My post about the nominations is almost done so look forward to it!
