Personal Note: Not a fan of Tencent Weibo, especially since Sina Weibo is much more convenient.

Ma Ming and Kate do not have regular Weibo, so they were asked about topics unrelated to micro-blogging. :P

"The Life and Times of a Sentinel" Theme Song

"Changing Sky" - Steven Ma

變天 《紫禁驚雷》 主題曲 - 馬浚偉

作曲: 葉肇中
填詞: 張美賢

雲起天變色　走過太多戰役
夜悄靜狼在叫晚風喘息
王者的戰績　稱霸只差旦夕
任性地全部豁出便無敵
還著顏色　這世界是我天生擁有的
猛風嘯泠箭更泠我在和你
再儲心　再角力

*成敗也相差　一線
雷電又再閃　一戰
從未見　執起弓箭　還在笑
才發現　驚天的變遷

雲起天變色　分秒置身兩極
夜悄靜狼在叫晚風喘息
王者的戰績　稱霸只差旦夕
任性地全部豁出便無敵
如沒痕跡　這世界是我一手操控的
猛風嘯冷箭最冷背後誰個
刺向心　再角力

成敗也相差　一線
雷電又再閃　心顫
從未見　執起弓箭　還在笑
才發現　驚天的變遷

"Walk Alone" - Michael Tse

獨行 《潛行狙擊》 主題曲 - 謝天華

作曲: 葉肇中
填詞: 林日曦

任誰亦可信任我　可背叛我再指罵
汗流下高貴沒有　底線自然沒有吧

名字你記住了　對或錯就不必記住
來讓我每步也走得自如
前面有一片空白　讓我作主
填下最自我的　拿出生死不怕輸

任誰亦可信任我　可背叛我再指罵
汗流下高貴沒有　底線自然沒有吧
誰能代我算真假　誰來定性好與差
無人像我　日夜也可以橫跨

Personal Note: The trailer indeed has a movie feel....

Really like the song! Michael's voice also matches it well! :)

"Knockin'" - Van Ness Wu

OC/OA: Bruno Mars/Justin Michael

Everyday you complain, you say men all the same.
You give your heart, up to them, but they give you pain.
Telling me, they're so mean, it's the same old story
I try to tell you, girl what more, but you just ignore me.

*You wish they would just listen like me
You wish they would respect you like me
But there's something that you can't see
The man that'll treat you good, is standing right in front of you

#Tell me what you waiting for
When my hearts been knockin' on your door
Knockin' on your door, knockin’, knockin’
Can't take this anymore,
You let these strangers walk in, and forget about your friend
Who's outside knockin’ on your door~ your door~ your door~
I'm outside knockin’ on your door~ your door~ your door~
I'm ouside knockin’~

Can't take no more, it's killing me, won't play no more games
I want to be, more than friends, but you feel the same
Don't waste no time, with these guys, they don't treat you right
Let me be the one, to show you what, true love is like.

Repeat *#

Waiting for your girl to come let me in, let me in, let me in
Waiting for your girl to come let me in, let me in, let me in

Repeat #

Personal Note: Another good song.... This one was written and produced by Bruno Mars. :D

Fala Chen Afraid of Filming Kiss Scenes: Saliva Is Unhygienic

TVBE Clip

"Scoop" Clip

Michael Tse and Fala Chen attended a promotional event for "Lives of Omission". Michael, who shot to fame with the character of Laughing Gor, said, "I will not give myself much pressure. The series 'The Rippling Blossom' that I took part in is the first half of the year's ratings king, so I am already happy. (Want to win 'TV King'?) Too far. (Win 'TV King' by being chok?) Chok was not invented by me; it was initiated by Tony Leung. As a junior, I am only following!"

Fala, who is playing a pair with Michael said, "Michael really respects me. Even the kiss scenes are taken with care so that they are not overdone. I am really afraid of saliva...think that it is unhygienic".

Personal Note: He he.... Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro have fascinating, artistic charm.... :D Still think that Nicholas Tse is the chok-est! :P

Male: "I want him to lick the bottom of my shoe. Does it taste good?"

Bosco Wong: "Tastes very good!"

Bosco Wong: "When being brothers with a leader, it is most important to climb up".

Bosco Wong: "Since Lat Keung and Wai Lei are fighting amongst themselves, it is the best time to climb up".

Michael Tse: "And it will be like reaching heaven in a single bound".

Bosco Wong: "What era is it? Talking about righteousness. I'm a triad member!"

KK Cheung: "The construction sites that Wai Lei has been looking after...you will manage them".

Bosco Wong: "Don't think that cops are everything".

Michael Tse: "They are everything. So what?!"

Narrator: "'Lives of Omission'. August 1st @ 9:30pm".

Personal Note: The scene of Bosco licking the shoe reminds me of him eating a meatball off the ground in "Dicey Business".

試煉 《不速之約》 主題曲 - 林峯

作曲/監製: 鄧智偉
填詞: 鄭櫻綸
編曲: Johnny Yim

#潛伏你身邊　微絲呼吸擦肩
輕輕的靠近吞佔　如滲入沒誰發現
迷惑你所思　存心摧毀歇斯
不速之約讓一切成試煉

*迷思中一邊偷生一邊偷泣偏偏不會自禁
情似遠似近跌進灰暗永永遠遠有著遺憾
迷思中一邊犧牲一邊傷心加深心裡烙印
無法再配襯那怕更近　痛已滲透終於失陷

如被困昨天　回憶抓緊據點
心聲相對立交戰如惡夢沒人發現
迷惑你所思　存心摧毀歇斯
不速之約讓一切隨悔恨在沉澱

Repeat *#

FYI: This is the seventh track on Raymond's latest album, "LF".

Personal Note: The feel of this song reminds me of the theme song of "My Date with a Vampire II".... :)

潛伏 《真相》 主題曲 - 劉威煌

作曲/編曲: 葉肇中
填詞: 鄭櫻綸

場地配人選與事情　前後配合給你合適的反應
潛伏眼淚掩蓋實情　誰犯錯誰都會辯駁擾人視聽
有一雙眼做證　錯覺作弄眼睛　誰看清

*記憶各種層次　連貫著更多懷疑
猶豫像不止　將傷痛劃破展示
哪一層次　情結讓痛苦蔓延
誰又在飾演　真相交錯未顯現
內心的碎片　沒有誰看見

潛伏愛情隱蔽未明　沉著佈局一切並不需考證
能用眼淚洗脫罪名　蒙著眼迷戀悔恨最擾人視聽
有一雙眼做證　錯覺作弄眼睛　誰看清

Repeat **

Personal Note: Glad that the series has been receiving positive feedback! :) Hope that the ratings increase! :D

勾手指尾 - 鍾一憲/麥貝夷

作曲/編曲: 謝國維
填詞: 曾紀諾
監製: 伍樂城

我最怕你問我　友好見面的經過
我最怕你講我　太多發問會太囉唆
密集地短訊　可有過火　每事關心不懶惰
麻煩或愛到太盡　必須要分清楚

*那天我共你　勾手指尾　
答應過會更愛你　抱緊你就有好天氣　
洞悉兩心一意　才磨合完美　愛是了不起　
要相處就要識得謙卑　我也會多花心機
去剖析雙方心理　甜蜜談道理
珍惜你　欣賞你　世界驟變都抱住你

我最怕你話過　某位確實很不錯
我說愛理不理　我怎會話你那麼多
但願望一世　跟你探戈　接受高峰跟跌墮
沿途上有你協助　不怕什麼傢伙

Repeat *

不要怕悶我有驚喜　萬大事放心可以不理
我願維護你　我願陪伴你　壞事亦有生機

那天我共你　勾手指尾　
答應過會更愛你　抱緊你就有好天氣　
洞悉我的好意　才磨合完美　愛是了不起　
要相處就要識得謙卑　我也會多花心機
去剖析雙方心理　愉快談道理
珍惜你　欣賞你　世界驟變都愛定你
冧到你　冧得你　愛到下世先算入戲

Personal Note: Really like this song! Also, it's really neat how the lyrics show up like WhatsApp messages! :)

"The Other Truth" Promotional Event 3

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

"Scoop" Clip

TVBE Clip

Yesterday, the cast members of "The Other Truth", including Tavia Yeung, Raymond Wong, Ruco Chan, Louis Yuen, Natalie Tong, Kenneth Ma, Louis Yuen, Louise Lee, etc., attended a promotional event. It was also announced that last week's ratings of this series averaged 29 points, and peaked at 33 points; these results are not bad. Ruco and Kenneth were standing trial on the stage's dock. Ruco was said to have snatched Raymond's screen time; he explained that the screen time in the later half of the series will fall on Raymond. As for Kenneth, he was said to have stolen the limelight because of his handsome looks; he clarified that he only guest-starred for four episodes, and he was later praised by producer Amy Wong for acting with a lot of heart, and that she would reserve a spot for him in the sequel. Afterward, Ruco and Louis also imitated the court's Lady Justice; however, the others played crazily, as they wanted to work together to remove Ruco's shirt so that he would reveal his nipples. Tavia also stuck a sword in his shirt; Ruco helplessly cried out, "Today is 'The Other Truth', not revealing nipples!"

As for Ruco snatching away screen time and becoming a threat, Raymond thinks that it would not be the case because they began to know each other from the other station, and they also both learn martial arts from Master Sin Ho Ying. They have a lot of chemistry when working with each other. Raymond said, "We both developed the basics. It is time to let audiences become more accepting. Would not be such that one would be good, while the other would be bad. I also would not carry the attitude of stepping on others while doing well myself or envy others. Actually, would not necessarily be one going up, while the other goes down. Since the series is good, it proves that everyone is good. Everyone is happy. He is capable, so [should] let him do it. I also understand that there would be provocation online; however, it is very unnecessary and unfair".

There have also been complaints about actors having lazy sounds in the series. Tavia is unsure whether they were talking about her; however, while filming this series, she had the flu, so she had to do voice-overs for the hoarse parts. However, actors should also pay attention to pronunciation to avoid having a bad influence on the audience. Tavia bitterly laughed and pointed out that she has been rushing to film the new series "36 Hours on Call"; inadequate sleep has caused an endocrine imbalance and a breakout of pimples on her face.

Personal Note: As mentioned in the TVBE clip, Amy Wong said that a sequel may be filmed. Natalie also said on her Weibo that the producer has promised to film a sequel. :D Amy Wong has only done indirect sequels (i.e., the "Burning Flame" franchise), so interested to see how it will turn out.

Ha ha.... Ma Ming was the first one to unbutton Ruco's shirt...such good buddies! :P
