For this years’ annual TVB Australia carnival, Kenneth Ma & Natalie Tong were sent as the guest stars!! :DDD While I was out of action from the TVB world most of this year, I was still somewhat excited to finally meet Kenneth & Natalie 😀 I liked them both enough to make a trek to Chatswood to attend their autograph session (including waiting in line for almost 3 hours!)

I couldn’t make it to the actual TVB Carnival on 29th August (the day before)- did anyone else go? What did they perform on stage? 😀

Here are some photos from the autograph session I thought I’d share with you guys 😀

Hello everyone!! It’s been a really long time, hope everyone has had a great year so far!

Sorry for my disappearance from my blog and the TVB world. I was meant to say “bye for now” before I left off but didn’t get around to doing that either ^^;

The main reason is because I’ve been really occupied with my offline world. This year has been a big year for me. I got engaged earlier in the year (I’M GETTING MARRIED!!! :DDDD ), I’ve been busy planning my wedding (it’s in December this year!!) I went on holidays to Fiji. I got a promotion at work so things have gotten even busier and I will be moving into my new home later this year as well so I’ll be furniture shopping soon, yay!

At the same time, TVB series didn’t appeal to me much anymore. Did I lose interest? Possibly. I do hope that someday TVB will produce a series that can get me hooked on as much as “Highs and Lows”. I miss Lam Fung! But until then, I probably won’t be updating this blog. I don’t really have TVB thoughts to share if you know what I mean? On 10 September 2015, K for TVB will have been around for 9 years. That amount of time kind of scares me. That’s makes up a large chunk of my life thus far and happy to see there are still so many searches on my blog for older series like “Moonlight Resonance” , “Heart of Greed” “Beyond the Realm of Conscience“, “You’re Hired“, “Triumph in the Skies II“, “Cupid Stupid“, “Storm in a Cocoon“. That makes me very happy 🙂

I also noticed Chungtvb has also been nice enough to continue/help share themesong links to our readers so thanks for that 🙂 And thanks again to our all-time host Chibi for hosting us on K-TVB.net!!! 🙂

I don’t know when I’ll be back, but rest assured I always check comments that you guys leave!! Until then, take care!!

-K

P.s Post coming soon to share some photos from last Sunday! 😀

NIK-HANG’s thoughts and tenor of his ways are similar to SHUN’s, and he is also excellent at work. Gradually, the two become good friends. Their supervisor KONG WUI-HOI (Lau Kong) also considers the two as his right-hand men until a private detective NG CHUN-NI (Tavia Yeung) appears. CHUN-NI mistakes SHUN for her old friend, triggering a dispute between the two. That makes SHUN reflect on the past event that he almost forgets about, which turns out to be involving the suspected arsonist. CHUN-NI, who is gifted with an eidetic memory, goes to probe into the matter together with SHUN and NIK-HANG. Unexpectedly, the closer they get to the full truth, the more intense the conflict between reason and law becomes. On top of that, the relationship among the three also undergoes a drastic change……
