Fireflies

Hurray, I'm going to Kuala Selangor to watch fireflies tonight! Forget about the mosquitoes and croc (!!!) infested water, no way I'm gonna miss this chance. Lol, I've been in KL for 4 years and yet I've never went to Kuala Selangor. Felt a bit envious when some friends describe how beautiful the glowing sync effect of fireflies and their reflections on the water. Hope we're able to take some nice pictures and post them here :)

Back to Always on Standby (TVB)
Not much news on Charmaine lately, but the filming of her new series is progressing well. Here's an article of Ekin and Linda courtesy of http://asianfanatics.net and www.ent.tom.com respectively.

From asianfanatics:
Ekin and Linda were at Clearwater Bay filming for the TVB drama. Michelle was asked how she felt about working with Ekin for the first time. She said that it was a lot of fun because he has a quick mind and always makes people laugh. She also said he loiked to tease the female members of the cast but luckily he already has a girlfriend so it is only jokes. She said that with Ekin around it was impossible to feel melancholy.

Ekin said that filming was continuing everyday, all day and even the night shift. He said that although it was exhausting it was valuable and challenging. He expects in the next days to be filming from the helicopter hanging from beneath it a somewhat dangerous scene. He explained that to film these scenes the company has spent many tens of thousands of dollars, so that he can have this chance to film. Reporters wanted to know if there was adequate insurance for such dangerous scenes. Ekin assured then that there was personal uinsurance and the company also carried sufficient labor insurance so he wasn't worried.

伊健昨日在西贡拍摄《随时候命》。

对于财政司昨日(3月17日)公布之财政预算案，郑伊健表示政府应多关心弱势社群，又指多项公共服务都应该减价，伊健说：“第一样就是东隧不应该加价啦，而且我最近知道，好多在东涌住的人原来人工都不够搭车。我觉得政府应该资助他们，帮助他们啰！”

伊健昨日在西贡拍摄《随时候命》，他透露该剧的拍摄已开始“白热化”，要日以继夜拍摄，更要到政府飞行服务队接受训练。

他说快将开始拍摄于直升机上救人的镜头，并指这次是十分难得的机会，所以一定会尽力“表现好的”。他自言对此十分期待，而同样扮演空勤主任的钟嘉欣则说剧中会与伊健，林保怡和阿余等发展出一段多角恋，剧中嘉欣于童年时代已被父亲拋弃，所以每次单独救人都会十分恐惧。

Updates about new series Yellow Earth Great Plains

So far, only Bowie, Ada, Gigi and Moses are confirmed to be cast in this grand production. There is no confirmation from Charmaine yet. I want Charmaine to work with Ada, but I don't feel like seeing Charmaine with Bowie and Gigi again for the time being.

This is what Bowie said regarding this series in his latest interview 2005-03-16

记：据说另外一部新剧《黄土地》会起用《金枝欲孽》原班人马，其中包括邓萃雯吗？

林：已经确定的演员有我、黎姿、陈豪和蔡少芬。我当然希望能和邓萃雯继续合作，有这样的实力派演员在，拍戏就像是赛车，互相“较劲”，你追我赶。


Last reminder: The poll will be closing tomorrow and I'll post the results on Monday.
