AOD Awards + TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Results - my feels ♥

... if you guys haven't seen my fangirling yet, well then here it comes.

So, recently the AOD Awards in Malaysia and the TVB awards in Hong Kong were held. See... while I'm a huge K-Pop fan and all, I don't actually know too much about the whole industry and I only like a few groups here and there. But the one thing I pride myself on is how well I know my TVB dramas and the actors and actresses.

Anyways, I didn't watch the whole AOD Awards but I'm currently in the process of downloading it. I did see clips and bits of it though.

Ok, it's hard to fangirl with proper grammar so ...

- omg so the part when Raymond Lam won his award and he was thanking his "little sister" Kate Tsui and he was all "my character would have been nothing without you. thank you for having such good chemistry with me throughout the series. tonight, you are the niiiiice-est candidate" omgomg k that was so beautiful 'cause his character in the drama always said "niiiiice" and ahhh LOVE ♥♥♥

- and then when Tavia got best actress award and instead of calling Him Law (her boyfriend) on stage to accept the award with her, she called Raymond Lam onstage and he was so shy and kept giggling about it and then later he asked her "are you sure you don't wanna call Him on stage?" and she slapped him omg their relationship is so cute ♥

- andand I was so proud of Koo Ming Wah for winning his award for his character as So Gay. he's been in the industry for sooo long and now he finally got an award && it was so cute when he kept rambling on and on cause he thought he might never get a chance at another award again ;-;"

- but really my favourite moment of the entire night was when Tavia and Kenneth won cutest couple but Kenneth was still filming so he wasn't able to attend and so Tavia accepted the award on his behalf.. and she was giving a speech and suddenly Kenneth comes in from the far end of the room (?) and goes through the audience and walks on stage! and then he was saying how as long as her character exists, he'll always be by her side and afghjkl ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ship them sooo hard waaaay more than her and Him Law

k so onto the TVB awards! so the AOD awards were hosted in Malaysia and it's only been going on for 2-3 years? but this was TVB's 45th anniversary awards so this is pretty big!

so Mandy Wong won most improved artist (female)! I'm actually so pleased with this selection cause I've watched Mandy since she first started appearing in dramas and it's very clear that she's an amazing actress way better than the person who wins best female actress BUT my one problem was that.. I felt that she deserved so much more than just the "most improved" award. last year, they gave the award to Sire Ma who I felt like... was still such a n00b in the industry and her acting was very .. stiff and awkward. with Mandy, you can tell she's able to do so many different types of roles so perfectly! she's definitely one of my faves in TVB ♥

then Oscar Leung won most improved artist (male)! I'm pretty happy with this too but again, I found it unfortunate that he's been in TVB for 10 years or so and he only finally gets the "most improved" award.. last year, MC Jin got the award and I love Jin and all but he didn't deserve it... Jin was so new to TVB that he didn't even have any series to look back on and say that he "improved" from it .. but yes overall, so much love for Oscar and so happy one of my darlings got the award! ngl though, I thought Him would have gotten it...

then best actress in supporting role was Nancy Wu! THIS award again .. omg, k super duper happy about the results but again, this award came so late! Nancy deserved this for so many years and she's been improving so much in each role she takes on... I remember how anxious she was last year for the award but ended up not getting it.. but yes, so happy for her! I hope this means she'll start getting more lead roles now because she's sooo capable of them!

best actor in supporting role was to Koo Ming Wa! I think this was the same award he got in Malaysia during the AOD awards... I didn't really follow the voting for this award but I'm pretty pleased with the results.. I think he said he's worked for TVB for almost 20 years now and he finally gets an award so I'm glad he won :)

favourite female TV character went to Kate Tsui! I'm really happy with this because this award.. was exactly how I wanted it! from the times when Kate first debuted as an actress until a very recent past, I didn't really like her 'cause she had the whole I'm-better-than-you face and she came off as very rude but recently, she's really been growing on me especially after her role in "Lives of Omission".. then when she played Pat, a drug queen, omg she was so good .. I love how emotional she got and how she adfghjkl k she was just perfect.. so much feels when she started to cry on stage when she got the award. Kate was saying how she knows that a lot of people didn't like her when she first became an actress and she's been through so much and ahhhh .. ;_____; SO HAPPY

then Kenneth Ma got favourite male TV character for his role as Yat Kin and OMGOMGOMG k see I loved his character and all and his acting is superb which is why I wanted him to win the "best actor" award but this was good too! but if I had to choose, I'd say Kevin Cheng's Law Bak, Raymond Wong's Bat Dee, and Raymond Lam's Happy Sir was a lot better than Yat Kin's character.. but yes still, so happy for him because Kenneth is one of my favourite actors ♥♥♥

for the biggest awards of the night, Tavia Yeung got Best Actress (TVB Queen)! I'm not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed because I really liked Myolie's and Kate's acting this year which is rare for me 'cause I used to hate them both so much but I feel like Tavia's acting has not improved at all over the past couple of years... she's always been the strong-independant-woman-with-a-soft-side and it gets really old, really fast. but I guess if we're talking about seniority, she goes before Kate and she does deserve it for her hard work.. so I'm cool with Tavia winning.

OK AND Best Actor (TVB King) went to Wayne Lai AND HERE IS WHERE I HAVE A PROBLEM OK. UHM WUT. k I like Wayne Lai and he is an amazing actor and all BUT THIS IS THE THIRD TIME HE GOT THE AWARD. THIRD, OK? I'm a very strong believer in give-others-a-chance and UGH. and just like Tavia, every time Wayne wins TVB King, it's always for the same damn character. the guy that's all JUSTICE, FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND BLAH BLAH. ok that's important and all but again.. gets old very fast. this year was the year of Kenneth Ma/Raymond Lam, ok? I have been supporting those two since the beginning because they've shown soooo much growth in their acting and both of them portrayed such awesome characters this year .. this is just a deja vu of last year when we all know that Michael Tse was supposed to win but somehow.. it ended up in Kevin Cheng's hands. I MEAN.. ok fine Kevin Cheng's Law Bak role was funny and clever and he did it well.. but Kevin's won before and Michael's Laughing Gor was amazing... then there was that whole issue last year where they said that the TVB awards were rigged and that it was already decided that Kevin was going to win because they didn't want to loose him to the rival TV station and so the TVB King award was just a way to make him stay... THEN this year there's the whole issue with TVB not showing the voting results from netizens/citizens which makes the whole thing seem very sketchy again since the netizens/citizens are all very aware of Raymond Lam's fanbase which is HUGE.

ANYWAYS.. some other people that I really love didn't get awards but they looked beautiful so here are some pics of them:

Niki Chow (left) and Michelle Yim (right)
omg Niki's gown is so pretty.. ;-;
also, can anyone tell me how Michelle is like 50+ but still looks so young and fit?

Last year's TVB Queen and King!
Myolie's dress is weird but Kevin looked cute :)
I feel like it would have made more sense if they won this year as opposed to last year...

Fala Chen!
one of my favourite actresses!
she looked stunning that night
& apparently that dress was specially made.. only one in the world ;-;

k there's a lot of other pics, but I think I'm fangirl'd out.

another post soon - finishing the first semester of university! :)

The last 3 months ...

Wow, I can't believe that the last 3 months have actually gone by pretty fast. It felt like just yesterday when I was complaining about each day feeling like a century.

Without even realizing, I started to get so used to living on residence even though I still come home every weekend, and all my profs and TAs even though I'd never admit it.

 For French this semester, I was blessed to have one of the best professors ever not that I've had a lot of professors. He's really the biggest derp that anyone would meet and he's just so caring and funny that I don't think anyone can hate him. I did pretty well on all my tests in his class and I even aced my comprehension test with my TA in the weekly French tutorials.

I gotta say, I started off the year with such a dislike for my French TA since he always picked on me mainly because I don't participate in class. But now that tomorrow's my last class with him, I'll actually miss him and my class so much. My class is filled with hilarious people who I don't think I'll ever meet again since university is such a big place. Plus, my TA's growing on me mainly because I realized how much he actually favours me sometimes. On a side note, my TA's name is Julien and that's a pretty sexy name. 

Economics has been the best. Favourite prof I've had this semester and I wouldn't have it any other way. He's an amazing guy and he always makes the class laugh with his "I-don't-give-a-shit" about anything attitude. When we had our final class on Friday, I swear he made me tear a bit with his final speech about how we've been a great bunch and he wishes us all the best in the future. It's a shame I won't have him for any other Economics class after this. 

IF ANYONE IS TAKING ECON101 AT WATERLOO, TRY TO GET INTO CARVALHO'S CLASS. BEST GUY. EVER.

Old picture from the beginning of the semester!
Back-of-the-room view in ECON101!

I've officially finished SOC101 too. I thought I'd never finish that class but I've survived. Our final project was to create a presentation of an organization that we supported. We ended up choosing SPARK which is a girl-power-type organization. I think I might make a post on that too later on! My task for the group was to make giant bristol board posters that we'd be using as props throughout the presentation.

I used our whole dinner table to make the poster.
My poor roommate had to eat dinner like this LOL.

Legal Studies 101 is officially done as well! I finished my case brief assignment that was worth 45% of my mark. I ended up with a crappy 78% and then went to rage-email my TA about it. She shot down my arguments and so I appealed to my professor who bumped it to an 80%. Not a big increase but hey, it's something. 1% boost to my final mark. I finished the final exam on Thursday; not feeling as confident as I should but it should be okay.

ARBUS101 is done as well. Our final task was to write a 27-page report on our Mike's Bikes game results. I stayed up long hours to finish that stupid report since some of my group members are incompetent and I had to re-do all their work. I mean, one girl was trying to say that we dropped our bike prices from $760 to $720 but she wrote that we dropped it from $600 to $425.. GURL WUTCHU SAY?

All that's left now is final exams for every class except Legal Studies which I've already done. I should be hardcore studying right now but... no. 

Even worse, my dad finally got me the iPad Mini which I've been eying for a while now. I love it and all but... damn, I am sooo not gonna study with this thing. 

Stupid flash but ... YAY iPAD!

I got a case and screen protector after getting the iPad yesterday.
I think it looks pretty damn sleek and pretty at the same time! :)

Rewinding a little bit, I went out with my favourite buddy from high-school! We used to spend almost every second together back in high school, but unfortunately, we went to different universities and I haven't seen her in a very long time. We ended up going to Pacific Mall and getting K-BBQ which is really such a fun way to catch up with friends, relax, and eat some good food. 

Just looking at this makes me crave K-BBQ all over again...

On a side note, another one of fishandchip and I's favourite restaurants, Mongolian, closed down recently. My roommate wanted to go there for her mom's birthday and found that it had shut down. Guess we need to find another really awesome place where we can customize your own noodles and eat awesome desserts covered with chocolate from the chocolate fountain. 

Anyways, so when we went to Pacific Mall, I went back and got some nailpolish. I may have blogged about those nailpolishes before... Pardon me while I got beauty guru on your asses:

So I was really pleased with the nail polish I got from DEBBIE a while back. I decided to go back to get some more and I found these two really pretty colours. 

The lighting may not do them justice but these colours are so beautiful!
I think the one on the left is a really pretty Autumn-colour and the blue is really good for Winter!

I painted my nails yesterday night!
Wintery :)

I think what I really like about this brand of nail polish is how you actually don't necessarily need to paint a second coat. So many nail polishes I've gotten need a second coat and it streaks so easily. This brand is so amazing and the colours are all so beautiful. Another thing is that it's so cheap! Other brands such as OPI and China Glaze cost around $8+ per bottle but these are approximately $2.50! I'm thinking of going back soon and getting the black one with sparkles next week! It's not the same brand but I tested it out last time and it was just as good as this one. 

AWKWARD TRANSITION INTO ANOTHER TOPIC...

I want to just take a break right now to once again mention my stupid parents, who are still, in a fight. If anyone's read my last post, they'll know what I'm talking about. 

Dear roomie,

I really doubt you'll see this 'cause you don't even know I have this blog. I just wanted to give you a quick shoutout 'cause you're awesome. I know we've been in countless arguments since we've moved in and we've gotten super pissed off with each other in the last three months. But I really appreciate you listening to me rage-cry about my parents and how stressed out I felt. I hate crying in front of other people but I guess I managed to do that with you. I'm glad you were patient enough to listen to me break down and complain about my stupid parents. I'm glad that after everything I said, you replied with, "It's okay. Calm down. Put them out of your mind for now. You need to focus on school........ Do you want some food?" 

Even though our personalities clash like crazy and we might not even wanna room with each other next year, you're still gonna be one of my bestest friends.

P.S - quurl u noe u luv da nagativityy i bring 2 ur lyf mkay ok 

My roommate and I have known each other since the seventh grade and we've been really close since then. We ended up going to different high-schools and making our own group of friends but we always talked online everyday. Now we're roommates in university, and while I find some of her habits highly irritating, I don't think I can have it any other way. 

AWKWARD TRANSITION INTO FINAL TOPIC...

So lately, I've been really into these things:

Yoseob's not my bias in B2ST but he's still one of my fave guys. I'm so proud of my baby Junhyung since he produced this album and he wrote this song so well and it's just so ... asdfghjkl ♥

Also, Junhyung is so damn hot even though he appeared for only 4 seconds. God damn. 

So, the drama that this song was in ended a while back but I've still been listening to this song non-stop. Raymond Lam has one of those voices you just can't get tired of and and omg this song ♥♥♥♥♥

Marble Slab icecream!

The ice cream at Marble Slab basically costs out the ass but it tastes so good. Everytime I leave that place, I think, "No way am I going back there! $7 for a small ice cream cup!? Pft!" but then when I finish the ice cream... I just want to go back again. Shoot me. This is why I'm fat. 

I think I'm starting to develop an unhealthy obsession with EXO-M now. Lay and Tao are just too beautiful for me to handle. This performance was so amazing and so was every other performance at the 2012 MAMA awards. If you guys haven't seen PSY's final performance of the night of "Gangnam Style", you need to see it now! Really awesome. 

I've been anticipating this series since the day it was mentioned by WongFu and then I got sooo excited after seeing the trailer. I think this one will definitely be a lot better than their first one called "Away We Happened". For starters, this one has people who can act. Plus, Yuri, Mike, and Phil are all amazingly talented at everything they do! Also, the ISA channel on Youtube uploads "Step by Step" videos of Phil learning different choreographies from amazing dancers. I have such a thing for hip-hop dancers and the dance itself. 

ANYWAYS, THIS HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH. 

TALK TO YOU SOON.
