Nightmare

Whole day testing at CCB. Apparently, one of our database crashes arnd noon time. This crash cripples quite a number of our applications eg KrisCheck, SAA and not to mention AR. Tatz where my nite mare starts. Streams of emails flooded my inbox with error reports. Sms Derrick to go apt for his flt when I discovered tat KrisCheck is also affected. My turn to be surprise when he replied back.

Chung tobang us(Jess, Linda & me) to Tanah Merah MRT. Discovered Keith's ezlink card had expired. WTF! Waited for Reena after i reached first. Noticed some police at Somerset station. Wonders wat happened. Deposited $$$ into MB using the CDM at Emerald Promenade.

Almost thought i had lost my OG card when i cant find it. Went back to check with the last cashier who claimed tat she had returned it to me. Asked Reena to help me renew Linda's card and apply one for mum while i run up and down the place to look for my card. Recvd call frm them when i did a final check among my things. Ended up i'm right 2 say tat the C28 cashier gal 4gotten to return it to me after my earlier payment.

Bought quite a number of stuffs which included 2 bedsheet sets, 2 bolster covers, 1 black blouse frm Dorothy Perkins, 1 lunch box, more panties n small perfume scent - True Love.

Been so long since i last heard Nicky's song (Yan Huo) on radio. Tonite's song selection all so full of memories......

Hot Air Balloon

Once upon a time, a man in a hot air balloon realized that he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted. "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The woman below replied. "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 50 and 51 degrees north latitude and between 114 and 115 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the woman. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make use of your information. The fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in management."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, you've managed to make it my fault!!"

How True~~~

OG Trip

Took cab to CCB for meeting during late afternoon. The sun and heat was so bloody scorching. Felt myself melting under the sun. Waited for quite some time for the cab even though had called to book one earlier.

After meeting, went to Orchard Rd alone coz Adel unable to make it last minute as her princess fell. Arranged to meet sh 4 dinner while on the train.

Bought 2 thermos pot, a Dorothy Perkins blouse and some very personal stuffs. Can't get mum for her I/C nbr to join OG membership. Ended up called LK for her details. Best part was mum called when i almost reached Cineleisure.

Ate at usual place first. Sh dear joined us later. Left for home after makan while they proceed to PS. Took bus 36 and change 34 at T2. Thought it would be faster this way after looking at the 518 waiting time. God knows, the whole journey took me almost 2hrs. So fxxkg drained out.

At least smthg nice happened today. That is 尊 updated his blog.

美味关系

美味关系


【演员】:

方织田.... 周渝民 饰演
常百惠.... 侯佩岑 饰演
何马扬.... 柯有纶 饰演
任可欣.... 赖雅妍 饰演


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


好吃的料理=50%高贵的食材+50%精湛的手艺??
唯有以真心的温暖为佐料,佐以陷入热恋的心情,
在人与人的冷漠之间,
才能营造出一次次100%令人温暖又幸福的「美味关係」。

  燻烤伊势龙虾、蛋包奶汁杂烩、焗烤海扇贝…这些对一般人来说,可能是连长什么样子都不清楚的高级法式料理,但是对於常百惠而言,却如同家常便饭般熟悉,不但能仔细品味,更可以一道道分析出料理的方法跟美味的原因;因为她,是个生长於富贵人家的独生女,从小跟著父亲吃遍世界无数的美食!

  本来百惠应该继续当个无忧无虑的天之骄女,却因为父亲的突然辞世、家庭破产,而顿时掉进现实生活的柴米油盐里!一个连电脑KEY IN都不会的娇娇女,在这个世间还有什么竞争力?

  在无数次的面试失败后,万念俱灰的百惠发现自己似乎只有吃的功夫还可以,就在这个时候屋漏偏逢连夜雨,一场雷阵雨下的百惠狼狈逃进一家名叫LITTLE BEAR的餐厅。

  好久未饱餐一顿,百惠的大食量与对食物陶醉品嚐的模样,引起了餐厅老闆和店内顾客的注意,也吸引了二厨河马的好感;当百惠嚐到主厨推荐的「黄金汤」时,那与父亲曾做给她喝的是一样的味道!这道汤勾起百惠的过往回忆,使百惠请求老闆让她留在这有幸福记忆的地方工作。然而厨房这地方,管事的不是老闆,而要看主厨-方织田的意思才能决定!

  厨房里忙碌的织田,冷眼的瞄了一身气质装扮的百惠一眼,吐出:「我的厨房不收女人!」冷酷拒绝了百惠,百惠虽然不服气,但是还是继续恳求,在眾人的帮忙说服下,织田出了一道考题:要百惠在明天此时作出一道让店内客人全满意的料理!!

  连马铃薯都不太会削的百惠,要如何通过这个难关,在LITTLE BEAR留下来,朝一个主厨之路迈进?就算顺利留下来,面对看自己不顺眼的冷酷主厨师傅织田,百惠又要如何因应、才能学会他的功夫,增加自己的实力?

  在一小小的厨房里共事,「冷酷师傅」织田跟「天兵弟子」百惠两个人,他们之间会擦出什么样的火花?百惠对於料理的热情能否溶化织田心中的冰山呢?

  由日本漫画家槙村怜漫画原著改编的「美味关係」,由F4的周渝民(仔仔)饰演方织田,挑战骂人不打草稿的冷面主厨;还有第一次参与戏剧演出的甜姐儿侯佩岑饰演常百惠,剧中又哭又笑的需要,考验著淋漓尽致的演技。两人的对手戏场面营造出剧中一道道的美味,同时又酸又甜的恋爱氛围,在一次次的料理中让人沉醉!!

方织田 -【周渝民/仔仔】

  天才厨师,对料理有与生俱来的才华,「黄金汤」是他的招牌料理,这道看似朴实简单、但却蕴含丰厚味道的料理,也是他坚持厨艺品质的顶级表现;然而却因为主管与自己的理念不合,离开专业的法式高级餐厅,来到Little Bear,选择在家庭料理式的地方当小主厨,自己把关每道料理的呈现。

  因为小时候被父母遗弃在南特森林餐厅的背景,而导致个性孤僻、冷漠,不容易亲近,但其实是将热情都隐藏式的投注在自己的料理中,而百惠对人的热诚与对料理的执著也渐渐瓦解了他的伪装。

‧织田名言:「我的汤没有特例,每一天都该是在同一个用心底下所生产出来的汤。」


常百惠 -【侯佩岑】
  
自小生长在富裕家庭,遍嚐美食,虽然没有其他专长能力,却拥有一副灵敏的舌头与味觉的敏感度,天真乐观下也带点小迷糊。

   遭逢家庭骤变之餘,因为来到Little Bear、嚐到织田的黄金汤,感受到记忆中爸爸的味道,因而想留下这个能唤起自己幸福记忆的地方工作,并立志成为一个能用美食料理来温暖人心的厨师,自许能带给所有人幸福。

   被织田师傅大小声斥责之餘,也渐渐因织田那在厨房工作时专注的神情与俐落的身手而心生爱慕...

‧百惠名言:我想让别人也因为我做的料理而感动。


何马扬 -【柯有纶】
  
绰号河马,Little Bear的二厨,个性木訥温和,对料理充满热情,但对自己的手艺没信心,所以不愿继承家业,甘於当个二厨在外磨练学习,并求织田收自己为徒。

   钟情於百惠,百惠刚到Little Bear时常在一旁默默守护她,后来也和百惠成为彼此打气的好朋友。

‧名言:好的手艺应该要有传人,我就是那块璞玉。


任可欣 -【赖雅妍】
  
外表高雅灵慧,脑筋聪明,工作上是能力高超的餐厅企划,应对得宜,但在感情上却没有自信,充满不安全感。

  父亲是南特森林餐厅的老闆,也因此从小就认识了织田。后来因为父亲外遇离家,母亲生病,自家餐厅遭遇生意危机,常来到Little Bear找织田,央求织田到南特森林当主厨帮忙。因为压力过重,一方面失去味觉,一方面也开始在织田身上希望找到爱情的慰藉。

‧名言:吃东西不应该是种享受吗?

南风瑾.... 吴尊 饰演
皇甫雄.... 顾宝明 饰演
南风彩.... 辰亦儒 饰演
南风璘.... 胡宇崴 饰演

宫茉莉.... 卓文萱 饰演
麦聪光.... 卜学亮 饰演
麦戈卡哇.... 黄嘉千 饰演
伊森川总管.... 夏靖庭 饰演
米若亚(小米).... 贝贝 饰演


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


十八歲的女大學生麥秋穗從小就在一個氣氛和樂的溫暖家庭中長大,雖然家境並不是太富裕,住的也只是破舊的小公寓,但是小麥卻覺得很幸福。

然而沒想到,小麥不過一覺醒來,竟然有一大票神秘的黑衣人出現在她家的小公寓中,宣稱她真正的身分是國內首富皇甫集團董事長皇甫雄失蹤多年的孫女,而麥父和麥母也承認小麥並非他們的親生女兒,而是他們花錢向人口販子買來的棄嬰。

在祖父皇甫雄的強勢作風之下,小麥被迫搬出麥家,住進皇甫大宅,然而,富家千金的生活卻不如想像中美好。小麥住進皇甫大宅的第一天就因為被認定是居心叵測的拜金女,而和皇甫家公認最有可能接位的大少爺南風瑾結下樑子,兩人不時針鋒相對,水火不容。偏偏皇甫雄又一心想撮合小麥和南風瑾,想盡辦法要製造機會讓兩人單獨相處,甚至要求南風瑾親自訓練小麥禮儀和舞蹈,以免小麥在歡迎她重回皇甫家的舞會上出糗。

南風瑾為求在兩個禮拜的期限內讓小麥的狀態可以上得了檯面,拿出當年自己接受菁英課程的嚴苛態度訓練小麥,小麥苦不堪言,更因為之前一連串的誤會而認為南風瑾是在趁機修理自己,屢次想逃出皇甫大宅,回麥家生活。然而因為麥氏夫婦都是在皇甫集團的相關公司工作,儘管小麥心中百般不願意,但為了養父母著想,卻還是只能乖乖回皇甫大宅。而小麥與南風瑾這對歡喜冤家之間一連串的奇妙故事也從此展開......


吴尊
南风瑾
吴尊 饰演


男, 21 岁,冷静沉稳,喜怒不形於色,外表看来似乎是一个冷血无情的富家公子,实际上却是一个温柔体贴、爱护弟弟的人。由於瑾看过太多上流社会嫌贫爱富、前倨后恭的虚假嘴脸,在人前总是显得很疏离,对每个人彷彿都隔著一层膜,也因此小麦单纯直接又澄澈明透的心思和个性格外吸引他的注意。

瑾的父母和小麦的亲生父母私交甚篤,四人在瑾八岁那一年死於同一场车祸。皇甫雄失去唯一的独生子之后,爱屋及乌地收养了瑾和璘两兄弟,更一心想培养瑾成为集团的接班人。瑾为了保护年幼天真的弟弟璘,同时也为了报答收养两兄弟的皇甫雄,总是毫无怨言地接受所有严苛的菁英训练,符合皇甫雄的期望,但是瑾心底深处却一直希望能够离开皇甫家这个光环,以自己真正的实力去找寻属於他的天空。

瑾一直暗自计划著要脱离皇甫家的控制,然而他的计划却在爱上小麦之后全盘失控


张韶涵
麦秋穗(皇甫珊)
张韶涵 饰演


女, 18 岁,个性积极乐观,活力充沛,运动神经极佳,心地善良、温暖,吃软不吃硬,习惯保护弱小,因此在女校就读时常被同学视为「侠女」代表。小麦脾气倔强,一旦订立目标就要执行到底,有时候会有些小聪明,却常常聪明反被聪明误。

小麦从小在平凡的家庭中长大,也一直以为自己是父母的亲生女儿,没想到她真实的身份竟然是皇甫集团董事长皇甫雄的孙女,原名:皇甫珊!小麦在爷爷皇甫雄的安排之下住进了皇甫家大宅,然而她一方面无法习惯离开父母的生活,另一方面也对千金小姐充满拘束的生活感到十分不自在,因而三番两次想要逃离皇甫家。

小麦和瑾第一次见面,两人就爆发言语衝突,之后更因为连番误会而让两人的隔阂更大。小麦也一直认为瑾只是一个财大气粗又瞧不起人的富家子弟。直到一次偶然的机会里,小麦发现了瑾隐藏在冷酷外表下温柔体贴的一面,便在不知不觉中爱上了瑾,更全力想帮助瑾脱离皇甫家的控制。


辰亦儒
南风彩
辰亦儒 饰演

男, 21 岁,皇甫家族中有名的花花公子,看似浪荡不羈、不学无术,惟恐天下不乱,实际上能力却不逊於瑾。为了不想让皇甫集团这么庞大的责任落到自己头上,彩在人前人后总是装出一副败家浪荡子的模样,直到后来才被小麦设计揭穿他伪装的假面具。

彩完全无意跟瑾竞争皇甫集团继承人的位置,只想轻轻鬆鬆悠閒渡日,然而最后却因为爱上宫氏集团的独生女宫茉莉,而面临了同时要继承两大集团的天大难题。


胡宇崴
南风璘
胡宇崴 饰演


男, 18 岁,瑾的亲弟弟,因为长期在哥哥瑾的保护之下,个性单纯直接、天真烂漫,时常有些让人哭笑不得的短路行为出现。

璘对小麦的好感源自於小麦亲生母亲留给他的童年记忆,虽然当年的璘年纪尚轻,却始终记得小麦母亲的笑容,因此,当璘第一眼见到小麦,便被小麦的笑容所深深吸引。


利昂霖
南风影
利昂霖 饰演


男, 18 岁,彩的亲弟弟,看似害羞内向,实际上却有点小心机。因为身边出现的女人都是为了从他身上得到什么好处,所以他故意对外宣称他有「恐女症」,藉此阻挡那些不怀好意的女生接近他。

影原本对小麦并无好感,也认为她只是另一个拜金女,然而亲眼目睹小麦对瑾的付出之后,南风影对小麦的印象完全改观。


顾宝明
皇甫雄
顾宝明 饰演


男, 73 岁,皇甫集团的董事长,生性顽固,主控慾强,是个标準的「老狐狸」型人物,外表威严神武,难以亲近,实际上却有著十分孩子气、任性、贪玩的一面。自从独子皇甫尊车祸过世之后,皇甫雄的内心一直是十分寂寞孤单的,因此当他寻回流落在外的孙女小麦时,他为了将小麦永远留在自己身边,不惜使出各种手段,反而造成小麦对他的抗拒和反弹。

独子死后,皇甫雄为了培养日后接班的人选,将家族中最优秀的四个小辈接入皇甫大宅中,施以菁英课程训练。在四名可能的接班人选之中,皇甫雄特别欣赏认真负责、表现杰出的瑾,更想尽各办法想撮合瑾和小麦在一起,没想到却造成反效果。
