Genre – Comedy
This movie, the private eyes ‘ban jin ba liang’ is a ground-breaking comedy of the HK cinema of 1970’s. It is one of Michael Hui’s best creation. The Hui brothers are the best, they dominated Hong Kong show business for about a decade, and this show represented the peak of their career.
This is a simple detective story acted by Michael Hui and brother Sam Hui. The theme song of this film is sang by Sam, who is a well known singer of that decade, his songs were very catchy, which attracted millions of fans, even the younger generations like myself. I am sure most of the older chinese generations would have owned at least one of Sam Hui’s music album, like my parents, aunt and uncle, who are great fans of Sam’s. I remember we used to play their films and music during chinese new year. It just makes everyone so happy. Do you enjoy Sam and Michael’s films?
This film is not only funny, but there is a positive message that the movie is trying to convey to the public that is to earn money for a living but not live to earn money. That is so true don’t you think?
This movie made over HK $ 8 million profit in 1977 , if measured at today’s ticket price, it would be 120 million, even more than Titanic Box Office in HK with 116 million, and ‘First Strike’, Jacky Chan’s most successful film, made only 58 million.
Yay, Ep18 is finally up. I wonder why they would now show it on alternate weeks, instead of weekly, felt like I waited for ages! Anyway, have you watched it yet?
I thought this episode was amazing, such a touching ending when the patient died peacefully in the husband’s arms.
The main focus was about this patient of Teddy’s who wanted to stop living, because she was enduring too much pain from her cancer. The husband of course did not want that. Teddy turns to Dr Hunt for help where it triggered Hunt’s memories of his life at war when he actually let one of his mates die because he was in too much pain -broken arms and legs, with one arm completely separated from the body and the legs trapped under the vehicle, besides that he had a ruptured artery, where Hunt had to place his hand to apply pressure to sustain his life whilst waiting for rescue to come. You know what was the worst thing that happened?The rescues came right after Hunt let go off his mate. It was too late.. Was Hunt at fault? Should he blame himself for giving up on a life that could have been saved? Have you ever experienced anything similar that has traumatized you for life that you might want to share?
Teddy as her doctor, gave all the information, and explained all treatment options available and the prognosis with each treatment to the patient so that she can make an informed decision and consent her own suicidal. What Teddy did was to prescribe her a medicine which would help her to die more ‘easily’.
If you were a doctor, would you have done that? Is euthanasia legal in your country? This episode of Grey’s has definately stimulated ones mind to think about the controversial topic – euthanasia, which I think is definately worth talking about.
So what is Euthanasia? It is a scientific word that refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner. From the greeks, this word meant – Good death. Euthanasia is grouped into 2 classifications one being voluntary euthanasia, meaning the patient consent her own death, the other being involuntary euthanasia where a patient has no ability to consent, so the carer decides on the patient’s behalf. Both can be conducted passively or actively. Witholding a drug i.e. an antibiotic or an opioid analgesia for the continuance of life is regarded as a passive euthanasia. Active euthanasia is normally done by introducing a lethal substance into the patient to kill them, sometimes done through machines where the patient can perform it on themselves. This way of suicidal is the most controversial.
Several countries in the world has legalized voluntary euthanasia. The few countries include Albania, Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, Luxermbourg.
Several other countries are not so clear cut and are in the first steps moving towards legalising it i.e. Japan, India, Norway. Having said all these, the law, rules of the procedures and the local policies are different in different countries, doctors have to comply with them, or else they may be sued for conviction of assisted suicide. In Japan there are no official laws in the status of euthanasia, but the euthanasia policy has been set out by 2 local court cases. There are conditions for the implementation of active and passive euthanasia.
For passive euthanasia
The patient must be suffering from an incurable disease or end stage diseases
Consent must be given by patient to stop treatment, the consent may be a pre-written living will
Patient may be passively euthanized by stopping medical treatment, chemotherapy, dialysis, artificial respiration, IV drip etc.
For active euthanasia
Patient must be suffering from unbearable pain
Death must be inevitable
Patient must give consent (Living wills not acceptable)
Doctor must have tried all other pain relief methods
In Australia euthanasia was first legalized, then it became ilegal by the commonwealth to the Northern territory Act 1978. Please take some time to watch this video from youtube. Such a heart gripping video.This young girl deserves to die peacefully as she has lived it with dignity and honor. She has such a big heart and courage to bring up such issues and ideas when facing with death herself, ideas that may benefit the lives of others in the world, I think these people are to be honoured.
In United States and Mexico, active euthanasia is illegal, however, terminally ill patients or carers for unconscious patients can refuse medication or further medication for the continuance of life. In USA, life suport machines may be withdrawn under specified circumstances. So passive euthanasia is allowed in these 2 countries.
Euthanasia in any way is still illegal in United Kingdom and New Zealand. Any person found to be assisting suicide is breaking the law. By far, Dr Nigel Cox is the only British doctor that have been convicted of attempted euthanasia and was given a 12 month suspended sentence in 1992.
Do you know that the procedure of consent is not all that straight forward. The person has to give consent twice in 2 different times, to proof that they are in clear mind and that they have the capacity to – understand information given to them, to retain the information, to consider and make judgements of the information given i.e. the pro’s and con’s, and then finally make the decision and feedback. If they have ‘the capacity’ to consent on their own suicidal, it is then possible, because then the healthcare professionals and the family members know that the patient is in a situation where he/she is able to make the best decision for themselves without being influenced or affected by other conditions.
Having said so much, what are my views? I definately support euthanasia. I believe that euthanasia should be legalized in all countries. I think we will never be able to understand it unless we are the patient ourselves who are going through all the pain. I have seen many people suffer in the hospital, and you can definately tell that they would be better off in other place (Im not sure where that place might be too) Many of them who decides on euthanasia are those who are suffering from end stage diseases i.e. cancer, and we all know that there are no cure to it, the treatments are only there to relief symptoms and improve the quality of their remaining life, and if the patient is still suffering despite all the medication, why not let them leave peacefully. To me, these people are very brave and should be honoured. What are your views on euthanasia?
This season’s american idol is such a dissapointment. I don’t seem to be enjoying it as much as the previous seasons. Before this at least there were Lacey and Alex, my 2 favourites to look forward to, since they left, I feel really pointless to carry on watching.
Anyway I know that Crystal Bowersox is a strong contestant, as all the judges praises her consistently week after week, emphasizing that she is in a different league etc, but im not getting it. I know she is good, but there is something lacking in her, Im not sure what it is, but I aint a fan. I don’t see star quality in her, and she just seemed a little too old fashion with her dressing and style.
I used to support Didi but week after week she been picking wrong songs to sing, they are either weird tunes, or songs that doesn’t suit her voice, plus the song choices aren’t typical ones. I think it is very important if the singers pick the right song choice for themselves but it has got to be something the audience would enjoy and at least have heard it before, so they can connect with the singer, and compare and contrast their version to the original. Just like when Lacey did ‘The Story’, which I fell in love with, and I did actually prefered Lacey’s version to Brandi’s. What do you think of Didi’s ‘You’re no good’ performance this week? Does her singing and song choice appeal to you? I didnt like the song choice but the song is stuck in my head!! Argh!
Well, I’m still hanging on to AI because its a habbit, I have watched it since 1st season, I’d like to carry on until the very end. Haha, but at least Aaron Kelly is still in the game! He did pretty well this week considering he had an infection going on – laryngitis/tonsilitis. This boy is young but he is definately very smart in picking his songs, and he really managed to connect with audience everytime he comes on stage. This week he sang ‘I dont want to miss a thing’ by Aerosmith.
Anyway Paige Miles is finally eliminated. My prediction was right this time, I thought Tim, Paige and Andrew will definately be in the bottom 3. This week’s comments by the judges were really harsh, check the feedback for Tim, if I were him, I think I would have broken down on stage? No joke, they were so mean, especially Kara’s comment. I mean that is true, but that was way too much to handle in my oppinion. Hopefully Tim will not give up and try to give his best next week.
Season 6 – The season continues the stories of the survivors of the fictional September 22, 2004 crash of Oceanic airline Flight 815 on a mysterious island in the South Pacific. The survivors must deal with two outcomes of the detonation of a hydrogen bomb on the island in the 1970s. While the on-island story continues, “flash sideways” show an alternate timeline, in which Flight 815 never crashes.
It is getting more exciting!! Can’t wait for the next episode, only 8 more episodes left. Be sure you catch all of them as this is the final season!!!
This week the race continued in Reims, France. So who came in 1st and last in Episode 6? the detectives came in 1st for the 3rd consecutive time. This week, I liked Dan and Jordan alot, the brothers seemed so on top of their game this week, I definately have to salute them for picking the harder task, and still managed to nail it, although they came in 5th place. It was amazing to see how they did so well in the pyramid. I was amazed that the top 4 glasses managed to stay still when the wine was poured, It didnt look very stable at all, thought it was going to fall. But well done for that, so much more rewarding to watch that being done successfully than the other task where they looked for some grapes in the vineyard! Lol, its like abit of luck if you find it early in the race and you save alot of time. But alot of effort and some skill is required for building the pyramids with the wine glasses.
Jordan and Jeff were the last team to arrive, so they were eliminated. I will definately miss them, Jordan and Jeff never really had a chance to catch up, urghh, really liked their attitude, much more than other teams, its such a shame they are out, would love to see them in the game longer, however I kinda knew they can’t stay very long, they don’t seem to have any strategy from the start, you’d know that from Big brothers if you watched.
I really didnt like Brent and Caite, I feel they are not very united as a team, they have different oppinions most of the time, and in this episode, they swap task several times because they gave up on finding the grapes in the vineyard, and they attempted the pyramid task but were not successful, so went back to the grapes. They were quite close to being eliminated, I did actually hope that they were eliminated instead of Jordan and Jeff though. Argh.

Synopsis
Prison Break is an American TV series created by Paul Scheuring and was released in August 2005. This series is about 2 brothers, one has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, the other devises a plan to help his brother escape prison.
Season 1
In Prison Break Season 1, Lincoln Burrows is accused of murdering Terrence Steadman, the brother of vice president of USA. Lincoln is sentenced to death. His brother, Michael Scofield, a structural engineer formulates an escape plan for Lincoln as he believes that he is innocent. Michael befriend the prison doctor, Sara Tancredi, where he pretends to suffer from diabetes, in order to gain daily access to the prison’s infirmary. The brothers were aided by their lifelong friend Veronica Donovan, who starts to investigate the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. However, they were hindered by the members who work for The Company. The Company was responsible for framing Lincoln, they did it because of Lincoln’s father, Aldo Burrow and his former connections to the company. The brothers and 6 other mates who were known as the Fox River Eight, managed to escape at the end of this season!
Season 2
Prison Break Season 2 focused on the escapees. The fugitives went on separate journeys to locations across the country as they each pursue their individual goals. Brad Bellick, the prison guard, gets sacked, and chases after the inmates himself for the reward. Several escapees reunite in search of a large amount of cash buried by another prisoner. Alexander Mahone, the federal agent is assigned to track down the 8 fugitives, but is revealed to be working for The Company. Later Sara discovered her late father, Governor Frank Tancredi, she met up with Michael and stays with the brothers as they try to bring down the current President, a Company member. To make sure the brother is safe, Sara sacrificed herself, and was arrested and faces trial. The testimony of Paul Kellerman, who used to work for the Company, exonerates Lincoln and Sara. A few of the escapees are killed or recaptured, but the brothers make it to Panama. Michael, T-Bag, Mahone, and Bellick are arrested by the Panamanian authorities and imprisoned at the Penitenciaría Federal de Sona.
Season 3
In Prison Break Season 3, Lincoln is on the outside in Panama whilst Michael is inside Sona, a prison run by the inmates and guarded only from the outside. Gretchen Morgan (a company operative who was in charge of operations in Panama) who kidnapped Burrows son L.J. and Sara Tancredi, contacted Burrows. Burrows were told that The Company wants Scofield to break James Whistler out of Sona. This season then follows the trials of the escape of Michael and Whistler, when Lincoln deals with Gretchen Morgan. Sucre gets a job in the prison to aid Michael’s escape. Gretchen sends Lincoln a head through the post as a warning, when he attempted to rescue Sara and L.J. following a clue from Sara. During the end of the season, they managed to escape together with Mahone and McGrady, leaving behind T-Bag and Bellick. Sucre’s identity is discovered by a prison guard and is thrown into Sona just after the escape. L.J and Sofia are traded for Whistler, and Michael seeks revenge against Gretchen for Sara’s death.
Season 4
Prison Break Season 4 concerns a team recruited by Homeland Security agent Don Self to obtain Scylla. Although the team initially believes it to be the Company’s “black book”, it is later revealed to contain information on an advanced renewable power cell. During the early episodes of this season, the team obtains cards to access Scylla, and break into Company headquarters to steal it. Sara is discovered to be alive, Bellick is killed, and Self is revealed to be a double agent and is planning to sell Scylla to the highest bidder. Reluctantly, Lincoln decides to join the Company to get it back, while Michael suffers from a hypothalamic hamartoma. He is treated and operated on by the Company. He later learns that his mother, Christina is still alive and was an agent of the Company, who is revealed to acquire Scylla to sell to the highest bidder. Eventually, the series ends in Miami, where Scylla is recovered by Michael and the team, the General and the Company is taken down, and Christina is killed. In The Final Break, a story is told explaining about the strange scar on Sara’s shoulder. Largely echoing season one, Sara is involved in common prison fare before Michael hears of the bounty, and plans are devised for her escape.
The TV series has received mainly positive reviews especially for the 1st 2 seasons. Although there were many Prison Break fans out there who supported the Tv series from season 1 until season 4 and think they were brilliant, there were a handful of people who lost interest after the 1st/2nd season. A couple of my friends thought it was great watching it if you havn’t got any deadlines on hand, if not, once you start watching it, you will get addicted, so watch only if you have self discipline, or else, you’ll be spending your whole day in front of the TV for the next couple of weeks
Some of the reviews from the public that I found from tv.com
The show “Prison Break” is more than just a story. It is a detail specific and geniusly assembled time line of events that is filled with captivating plots and settings and the writer of the story has many ways of showing his passion for his work - Zinner035932
After the first season its downpour.. Every episode is making me to lose interest – la_lith
What a show,I say what a show…It was absolutely one of the best shows of the new age of TV and it will always remain that way -diyari
If you’ve never watched this show, it really is a must-see. Action-packed, non-emotionally straining, and down right ingenious at times, especially in the first series, Prison Break is the epitome of the Action genre - CrazyBarry

The reviews for this movie is not bad, the ratings came up to 8.1/10 according to www.imdb.com
A friend has watched this film and thinks that it is not bad. So let’s hope this film is good. Im quite a big fan of thriller, I hope its not horror though, the poster looks abit scary. But I will watch when I have the chance, do update me if it is really worth watching, Enjoy~!
I actually teared when they announced it was her. I can’t believe she is eliminated so early, Lacey Brown is out of the competition now. I thought Paige Miles should be eliminated first. Sigh, and the judges did not want to save her as well, they could actually bring one person back to the competition at any time, but only can use it once. Oh well, I will always remember Lacey’s signature song – The story. She absolutely nailed that song, dont you think?
I will definately miss her voice, miss her sweet smile. Such a unique voice, she could have done it better if she had done songs like the story everyweek!! Oh well.. hope you enjoyed American idolepisode 23 though, are your favourites still in the competition?
Tonight, Didi sang playing with fire. Randy said she is on fire tonight, one of the best performances of Didi’s. Yay even Simon agreed! Didi, you go girl! A Very solid performance, but there are room for improvements. We will see if I remember her at the end of the performance of the night.
Casey’s mom said that he couldn’t talk when he was younger, but slowly started humming tunes before he actually started talking, that was when his mom knew he will be singing. It’s amazing how some people are born talent, I have to say I’m liking him more and more each week. Kara’s Comment for his performance tonight was ‘ this is the best performance since we met’…
I’v learnt something new about Lacey today. Guess what? Lacey’s dad says that she doesn’t have a lot of experience singing outside of the church, she is like him, naturally shy >.< Omg Lacey is shy?? Its amazing how Lacey can appear so confident on stage even though she is a shy person. I always smile through her performances, there is something about her that touches my heart each time she sings, she did Ruby Tuesday tonight, the judges commented that she has to stop thinking so much the whole time, but let herself go and start doing something a little bit different.
Siobhan Magnus was a surprise tonight singing Paint it Black. The judges think she did really well, and she is the highlight of the night, very good interpretation of the song. However I was never a fan of her, tonight , i’m still not a fan, but I thought it was the stand out performance of the night. Kara said it reminded her of Adam Lambert? Oh yes,definately , especially the screaming part. Lol.. What do you think of her performance?
I love Aaron Kelly this week. Very nice, not a rock song, but it was the right choice for his voice, I thought his version was great. I Loved it. My favourite of the night goesssss to Aaron Kelly!!!! Dont you think he is cute? He reminds me of Archuleta, but I like Aaron more
