Did you watch the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards? I love that Jimmy Fallon was the host this year.  It is his first time hosting this star-studded spectacular and he is so funny.  Did your favorite actors and actresses win? I always look forward to the red carpet event because it is where the stars are dressed in head-turning outfits.  Here are some of my favorites :-

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Edition by Georges Chakra and Chopard jewelry

Gina Rodriguez in a Naeem Khan dress and Chopard jewelry

Reese Witherspoon in a Custom Atelier Versace dress and Tiffany & Co. jewelry

Sarah Jessica Parker in a Vera Wang Collection dress.  I like this while ensemble but not the hair.  Is Sarah paying tribute to Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia)?

This is a new travelogue starring Carol Cheng (Do Do) which features her shopping in the famous cities around the world.  During her travels, Carol is accompanied by other TVB stars such as Oscar Leung, Kenneth Ma and Sammy Sum.  I enjoy watching this show because it is quite funny and interesting.  The first few episodes, Dodo went shopping in Paris and followed by Melbourne and London.  It is enjoyable to watch where Dodo buys her clothes from in London, ballet flats in Paris and the types of shops to keep a look out for if ever we are visiting the same cities and etc.  Her shopping partners add a lot of fun to the show.  Hurry and check out  DoDo Goes Shopping if you have not.

Did anyone watch the Grammy Awards a few days ago?  If yes, then which one was your favourite performance?  Did you favourite singer win the Grammy?  I love the performance by Pharrell, Stevie Wonder and Daft Punk in their rendition of Get Lucky.  This retro dance-flavored music is very catchy and I really enjoyed it.  The jamming session with the music legends, the retro recording booth complete with neon lights and possibly behringer amps as well as electronic sounds from the white robots really brought the house down.

While the spouse is busy checking out the Shoei Qwest helmets for his new ride,  I am looking for a new mobile phone.  I am still contemplating if I should get the iPhone or an Android phone.  Anyway, what’s important is that I get to use Instagram and also play music on my mobile phone.  I want to listen to music when I’m running.  You can imagine my delight when I saw this cute Mini Boombox MP3 Speakers at Fred Flare.  It sure brings back memories of the 80’s.   This mini boombox is actually an iPhones and iPods dock.  When attached to your device, it allows you to share your music with everyone.  The Mini Boombox MP3 Speaker’s measurement is 2.5″x1. 25″x0. 5.   How cool eh?  Looks like I may have to get an iPhone if I want this Mini Boombox MP3 Speaker.

Be Home For Dinner looks like a very good show which I would enjoy watching.  This not-so-new TVB sitcom replaced Show Me The Happy.   This 80-episode drama stars some of my favourite actors and actresses such as Ngok Wah, Kristal Tin and Queenie Chu.   This drama is about a traditional Chinese household and the love for fine food.  Have you watched this drama?

Here are the synopsis.

In a Chinese household, the dining table is the place where the family’s relationship revolves upon on. The CHUNG family is the traditional model Chinese family. The father CHUNG KWOK CHYU (Ngok Wah) is the supplement chief editor for Ko Jim Daily. He enjoys a famous reputation as a food critic. Loving the taste in the food markets, CHYU ensures he’s home for dinner every night. He believes the best home cooked dishes are made with the world’s highest quality ingredient…..love.

At the Chung household, CHYU has to face the dough kneading bickering younger brother CHUNG KWOK TUNG (Stephen Au) and his son CHUNG SI HON (Jason Chan), whose values differ from his. His wife BO KWAI SUM (Helena Ma) also fears that she’s not doing enough as the stepmother. And finally there is the half-siblings (same father, different mother) SI HON and SI NA (Katy Kung).. who do not understand fine foods. How can fine foods be drawn into each member of the Chung family and open the window?

I cannot wait to watch No Regrets (Rosy Business Part 2).  I have been waiting for this series to be released for so long.  All my favourite casts from Rosy Business are back in this 32-episode drama.   No Regrets is replacing The Comeback Clan.  Is this the final drama for TVB for the year 2010?  I wonder if Wayne Lai will be taking the Drama King title like last year.  Ok, first, I would go wash my face, put on some anti wrinkle lotion, get ready some snacks and then make myself a cuppa.  No Regrets, here I come.

Guangzhou is in a state of political turmoil in the 1930s. Gangsters are on a rampage and opium trading becomes rampant. As they watch the illicit profits from opium trading escalate, the government forms the Anti-Smoking Bureau under the guise of suppressing opium, but the bureau is under the influence of CHENG LONG-KWAN (Yueh Hua), the gang’s kingpin. His eldest daughter CHENG KAU-MUI (Sheren Tang Shui Man) who is an unscrupulous person soon returns from Shanghai to reap the rewards. MUI meticulously plans her every move.

On the other hand, LAU SING (Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung) is the leader of the Criminal Investigation Team. He has worked hard all his life to ensure an easy trail for his family, especially for his bed-ridden younger sister LAU CHING (Fala Chen). Despite his hot temper, he values friendship and brotherhood more than anything else. Once, he almost sacrificed his life to help his timid teammate, TONG KAT (Pierre Ngo).

It is fated that MUI and SING should meet each other and survive many calamities. It is also fated that both are fierce contenders who will never give in, although mutual understanding and affection slowly grows between them.

Meanwhile, the Japanese army invades China and Guangzhou falls into the hands of the Japanese. MUI enters the darkest time in her life when her aunt CHENG LONG-HEI (Susan Tse) frames her.

Will SING always be by her side?
