Mega Action Packed Blockbuster Metamorphosis Promises To Blow U Away !

17 Sept 2007

Metamorphosis is definitely the biggest and most powerful Action Packed Drama Serial to hit our TV screens so far this year ! Promised to be even more Dramatic and Action Packed than CID ( last year ) and The Undisclosed , this show has lots more fast paced , high intensity Drama with gripping gun - fighting scenes as well as a complex plot and a star studded stellar cast which will also sees Chew Sin Huey of Project Superstar fame making a Debut acting appearance on our screens , this has all the makings of a Big Production Mega Blockbuster Drama Serial !

The high intensity Action Packed gun fighting scenes and explosive Action are not those that u would normally associate or come to expect from a local production , or rather specifically Mediacorp Produced Drama Serials . Expect to be blown away from it's high octane explosive scenes and gripping gun-fighting scenes that promises to leave u breathless ! Throw in complex storylines with mysteries to solve and suspenses and thrillers and u will be kept glued to the edge of your seats , not knowing how the story will unfold next ...

Watching the 10 minutes trailer Special on Saturday night alone , I think this Blockbuster of a Serial has all the credentials to match those of Hongkong Action Packed Police Drama Serials . For some explosive scenes in the show , they are so intense that u will expect to see them only from some Hollywood movies !

Already before this show has officially hit our screens , I am giving it full marks and a high rating of ***** ( 5 stars ) . If u are the type who has always loved Action Packed Drama Serials with lots of mind blowing explosive scenes , Metamorphosis is one Drama Serial u definitely don't want to miss ! Metamorphosis will answer those critics who has been critising that Mediacorp is not capable of producing good Drama Serials ! This is one Drama Serial from Mediacorp that u will really enjoy for a long time !

Ratings : ***** ( highly recommended , especially for those who love Action Packed & Explosive fighting scenes )

The stellar cast of this 20 Episode Series include : Thomas Ong , Terence Cao , Julian Hee, Ng Hui , Chen Guohua , Cavin Soh , Brandon Wong , Ong Ai Leng , Ix Shen , Rui En , Bryan Wang , Rayson Tan and Yvonne Lim as well as a Debut appearance of First Season Project Superstar Female Runners up - Chew Xin Huey .

Among the star studded line -up , Thomas Ong and Terence Cao who once acted together in a similar fast paced Action Packed Police Drama Serial some ten years ago in ' 真心男儿 ' - ' Love At Last ' which was re-run earlier this year on Channel 8 as part of the Channel's 25 Years Drama Anniversary Special was once again being paired together to star in ' Metamorphosis ' which debuts tomorrow at 9pm . The successful pairing of Double T Terence Cao and Thomas Ong was such a huge success in that 1994 Serial as police officiers that they returned yet again to star in this high octane action packed police Drama Serial which promises twice the explosive Action ! Only this time , they will not be playing the roles of law enforcing police officiers though , Terence Cao will play Detective Di Lun ( Dylan ) , while Thomas Ong will play a Forsenic Expert as Hu Xi Cun .

*Metamorphosis Debuts on Tomorrow ( 18 Sept 2007 ) , Mondays to Fridays at 9pm on Channel 8 *

EPL Top 3 In Evening Primetime Blockbuster Showdown Tonight !

15 Sept 2007

After a week of International break to Euro 2008 Qualifiers and International Friendly games , the EPL returns with a massive bang tonight as three high profile big games involving the League Big Four will all be played almost at the same time one after another in an early lunchtime kick-off for the first time since the new League Season begin !

Everton vs Man United @ 7pm LIVE on Super Sports Channel 22

Tonight , EPL soccer fans will be treated with three great evening Primetime LIVE EPL matches starting from 7pm onwards on three different Channels as the top three teams all play their matches close to one another . At 7pm , third placed Everton host defending League Champions Man United at Goodison Park which will see Rooney return from injury and Christiano Ronaldo making the trip too after his comeback from his three match suspension .

Portsmouth vs Liverpool @ 7.45pm LIVE on Football Channel 27
Then when the match at Goodison reaches halftime , Portsmouth will take on current league leaders Liverpool in a pulsating and closely fought match with both teams determined to get three full points . Pompey will be hoping to have a good performance tonight , after a terribly disappointing performance against the Gunners in their last EPL fixture before the International break losing 3-1 with David James conceding that early penalty which was no doubt a crucial contributing factor to an Arsenal victory .

Or they will be hoping that at least they can repeat that famous victory over the Reds earlier this year in their Barclays Asia Throphy Tournament in Hongkong where they held Rafa Benitez side to a goalless draw in normal time before going on to win on penalty shootout to claim the Throphy .

Tottenham vs Arsenal @ 8.30pm on Super Sports Channel 21
Then when the Portsmouth - Liverpool match goes to Halftime , the most awaited London Derby will take place at White Hart Lane as Spurs will be hoping to win and turn the corner against their London bitter rivals Arsenal in the 141th London Derby showdown tonight . Arsenal despite with such a young squad , has been impressive so far , unbeaten after 4 League games and sitting pretty in second spot level on points with leaders Liverpool . Spurs on the other hand has been far from convincing and has been trying very hard to impress but still with not much success . Martin Jol has not much to smile or be happy about in their team's recent League matches , except that ruthless 4-0 victory over Derby earlier this year , their only time they could really celebrate and rejoice . Martin Jol is now under tremendous pressure , very much like how Steve McClaren was when England headed for their Euro Qualifiers earlier this week .

But will Jol be able to do a Steve McClaren tonight or better still in fantastic style , winning against their bitter London rivals ? Doing so will no doubt mean a lot to Spurs fans , not only the mere victory over their fiercest rivals but also at the same time ending Arsenal wonderful unbeaten start to the Season so far . Victory tonight will surely go some way to lift some pressure off Jol's shoulders and may see the team start to turn the corner , very much like The Three Lions did . Failure may just see Jol managerial career come to an end .

The Champions League Factor ...
Although the favourites Man United , Arsenal & Liverpool are all expected to avoid defeat with these tough fixtures , one has to bear in mind that they still have Champions League coming up next week . Normally this would mean some teams will fail unexpectedly as they try to rest some players for the big games ahead , considering that these players just returned from International duty and had not much to rest and now have to contest in a early lunch time kick-off .

Upset on The Cards ... But Which One ?
Who will cause an upset tonight and sneak a famous victory ? ... How will the Top 3 shape up tonight in terms of League standings considering that all play almost all at the same time... Oh ... I just can't wait for the drama and excitement to begin tonight .... Can u ?

Why No LIVE Telecast For Big Games Euro Matches , Starhub ?

8 Sept 2007

It's the Euro 2008 Qualifiers - top European teams are all fighting for crucial places to next year's summer soccer showpiece Event in Austria & Switzerland and yet with so many big games set to take place tonight , especially at 2.30am timeslot , only one game is being shown LIVE on Starhub Cable . Why ?

A look at the Fixture list and u will see some high profile big games such as a repeat of last year's World Cup Final - Italy vs France , as well as the all Scandivian showdown between Sweden & Denmark being played at 2.30am in which the match was called off with the match at 3-3 after a Danish fan attacked the referee . UEFA later awarded a 3-0 victory in Sweden favour in that fiery First Leg encounter back in June .

Instead , despite with so many Euro 2008 Qualifiers matches being played tonight , only England vs Israel match was being televised LIVE ( on Star Sports Channel 24 @ 12am . ) Although Wales vs Germany match would be shown LIVE ( on Super Sports Plus Channel 21 @ 2.30am ) as well , it is understood that besides those who have subscribed to this Channel can watch the match at home - those who don't may not be able to watch it at coffeeshops as most of them , ( as far as I know ) may not have that Channel .

Starhub has four Sports Channels in total , seven in total if u include Goal TV 1 & 2 as well as Football Channel in as well , but they are not showing any Euro matches LIVE tonight . Why can't they help show some of the bigger games LIVE ? Instead fans had to settle to watch games being telecasted Delayed instead !

Even Portugal Vs Poland - the match set to be shown Delayed at 4.30am tonight on Super Sports Plus Channel 21 , Indonesia RCTI Channel will be showing it LIVE tonight ! Certainly and understandably , Starhub subscribers are really disappointed with their arrangement and decisions not to show these Big games LIVE tonight .

Getai Goes Beyond The Seventh Month !

7 Sept 2007

'Getai ' or song- stage performances is often traditionally associated with the Seventh Month Festival , but now Getai is set to go beyond the Seventh Month Festival as it will be tasked with an important role to play - that is to make use of the dialect song-stage performances to Promote Anti - Dengue Awareness in Bukit Batok . Yes , the grassroots leaders there are hoping that through a different and unique way such as this will be able to connect with it's residents there , especially the elderly to drive home the important message of just how deadly Dengue really are .

With the grassroots leaders coming up with the creative idea of using a Getai to transmit such important message across to it's people , it will certainly spark options and plans to use this similar method ( Getai ) if it proves successful this time round , to promote and create awarenessness for different organisations and welfare groups too .

Plans and considerations can be made to get Getai to take over the use of TV to raise funds for Charity for the needy people and it's organisations , as well as transmit important messages such as Cancer Prevention , Road Safety Awarenesses , Yellow Ribbon Project etc , which I really thought using Getai to do so will be as good an idea as having it to promote Anti - Dengue Awarenesses .

And if the government or relavant authorities are bold enough , Getai may or should I say can also be used in promoting crimes prevention , considering the steady increase in crimes rates recently ( with conman conning old & elderly hard-earned money ) as well as the government continuous quest in their prevention against terrorist attacks etc ...

Getai is no doubt , certainly a great media , a new option besides TV shows , radio , news and print media to transmit such important info to it's people , especially to the old and elderly . I think it's unique and creative way , a refreshing change from the usual stuff and maybe with these ' meaningful & educational ' themed Getai song and dance performances , the relative authorities will find it much easier to get the message across to it's people , not only to the old and elderly , but to the young ones too .

*Anything to say on this topic ? Want to air your views and comments ? Do u really think Getai can do much more than only in Seventh Month ? Feel free to share your thoughts here ! *

LIVE & Exclusive LIVE German League ON RCTI Channel !

2 September 2007

Indonesia's RCTI Channel's Surprise for all German League fans ! Anyone who has the Channel and had switched on to check if they did show the UEFA Super Cup Match LIVE between Sevilla vs AC Milan last night ( cos they did show the Super Cup Match LIVE last Season - between Barcelona & Sevilla ) would have found to their surprise that the Channel did actually show German League football not only LIVE but Exclusive as well , without most of us knowing as they are the only Channel to be showing German League matches LIVE here in Singapore !

The match shown was the only match to be played last night between Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen (which ended 1-1 ) kick-off 2.30am . I was quite surprised as are many of those who did happen to see the match shown LIVE on the Channel last night . Although they did show German League matches LIVE , they did not show those German League matches being played on Saturday and Sunday night LIVE . I think that they will only show LIVE German League Matches that are being played on Friday night ( Saturday morning - Singapore Time ) only .

Now if these were to be true that they will be showing German League games played on Friday night , then soccer fans in Singapore would have many more choices and many more LIVE soccer matches to look forward to from now onwards , besides the EPL and the Spanish Leagues .

Which Channel To Watch What :

English Premier League - LIVE on Starhub Cable Football Channel ( CH 27 ) & Super Sports Channel 22 & Super Sports Plus Channel 21 .

Spanish League - LIVE on Super Sports Channel 22 & Super Sports Plus Channel 21 as well as RCTI Channel

German League - LIVE & Exclusive on RCTI Channel ( Saturday morning - Singapore Time )

Scottish , French & Dutch League - LIVE & Exclusive on Starhub Goal TV 1 ( Channel 107 ) & Goal TV 2 ( Channel 108 )

Champions League - LIVE on ESPN - Star Sports Channel 23 & 24 as well as RCTI Channel .

In Hong Kong, Xu Le joins up with the Hong Kong CIA. Disguised as a Taiwanese buyer, Xu Le prepares to meet with the counterfeit ring’s Big Boss (Xu Shao Qiang).

In order to meet with the Big Boss, they have to go through Sharon (Lan Jie Ying), who is the ring’s intermediary. When Xu Le meets Sharon, he is intrigued by her charm and charisma, and is convinced that she is a special woman. Xu Le wonders why she is working for the syndicate and believes there must be a reason behind it.

TT, the agent working on the case for Hong Kong, warns Xu Le that Sharon is dangerous and cautions him to stay away from her because it could cost him his life.

Sharon sets up a meeting between Xu Le and Big Boss, where Xu Le is able to win his trust. All is set to proceed with the deal when Sharon reveals Xu Le’s identity…
