I've been hooked on this TVB serial called Under the Canopy of Love (天幕下的恋人) starring Kevin Cheng, Niki Chow and Bosco Wong.

Well, of course it stars Kevin Cheng again! How else would I be interested in it??


The poster for Under The Canopy of Love and the delectable Niki Chow and Kevin Cheng doing promos for the serial. Look at the colour of their clothes in the poster! It's soooo obvious who's gonna end up with who...

Anyway, my point is, although it really is a regular romantic comedy, I am enjoying it very much, with a humourous and interesting plotline and charismatic characters. And man, I'm adoring the pairing of Kevin and Niki even more with this series. Great chemistry. Bosco Wong also gave me a pleasant surprise with his interpretation of a naive, loyal pal full of silly antics. I've even gotten my mum and dad hooked onto it. I say, sometimes serials like these are so much nicer to watch than TVB's recent attempts at 'big productions' like Healing Hands which have lost much of their magic. There will never be another Warm Blood Cold Heart, nor will there be another Greed of Man...

But of course, bad bad bad thing about renting serials to watch is that it's almost an addiction. If it's of any consolation, luckily this one is only 20 episodes, and luckily I don't rent serials often....

But the thing about the really good romantic comedies like this one is that they put my own romantic life into perepctive, which to say the least is really non-existent. Of course TV shows and movies are no more than just fairy tales. But for a fairy tale to be popular, it must have evoked a feeling which is real.

Was reading the papers today that said that women above the age of 30 are no longer considered attractive and seldom actually find themselves a date, not to mention a life-partner.

I'm 24 this year, and 25 the next, which probably is still considered young but looking at how time flies, I'll be in my 30s in no time. And looking at my life as it is, it doesn't seem like I'll be able to find a soul mate soon. Even attractive women in their 30s have trouble finding someone, what more a fat, unattractive woman like myself?

Sigh... of course I'm not obsessed with finding a man whom I can spend the rest of my life with. It's just that when I think about my future it does worry me to think that I will be spending it alone... Sure, friends are always there but no one's gonna give u the kind of attention when each of them have their own lives and families.

If only finding love was as easy as in the movies.
