Music: Wishing Upon A Star

Here is a song for you all, I will post more often. I hope you like it. This song is from a very touching movie, Fly Me to Polaris, the name of the song is translated into Wishing Upon A Star.

Year:1999
Director:Jingle Ma Chor-Sing
Cast:Richie Ren (Yam Yin-Chai), Cecilia Cheung Pak-Chi, William So Wing-Hong, Eric Tsang Chi-Wai, Eric Kot Man-Fai, Sheren Teng Shui-Man, Sandy Lamb San-San
The Skinny: Ultra-manipulative weepie uses the hammer and still manages to bring home the goods. Cecilia Cheung has the makings of a major star. Review by Kozo: A summer hit in HK, this romantic fantasy from Jingle Ma is shamelessly manipulative, incredibly cheesy, and totally sappy. It goes to extreme lengths to yank your chains and push your buttons...and it works. Amazingly, this manufactured piece of sap is also an entertaining, compelling movie.
An HK version of Ghost and Always, this well-produced romantic drama stars Richie Ren as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia Cheung). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week. There’s a catch: no one will recognize him and he will be unable to reveal his true identity to anyone. He returns nonetheless for the chance to see Autumn, and subsequently suffers untold buckets of heartache and pain as every last facet of his resurrection prevents him from reuniting with his stricken love, who apparently loved him too.
Where this movie fails is pretty obvious. Despite great production values, the characters lack depth, the story complexity, and the film an overall quality that can only be described as panache. This year’s When I Look Upon the Stars was similar in its sap potential, but it had a smart, stylish quality that made the synthetic mush easier to swallow. Fly Me to Polaris is more similar to the hokey and overwrought Love and the City. Like that film, the sap and sorrow is thrown at us straight up, and the chance for alienation is quite high. Still, Jingle Ma punches all the right emotional buttons and they certainly cast the right people. Taiwanese pop star Richie Ren has a sympathetic quality and the remarkable Cecilia Cheung is quite moving as Autumn. It hurts to say it, but this is a workable piece of commercial crap. This is a made-to-order date movie with pretty stars and palatable pathos. Women will dig this film, and I’m ashamed to admit it, but I wasn’t unmoved. (Kozo 1999)

New Service - Taobao

Dear All:

Happy New Year! This year, Tomatobaby will provide a new service to you! You may know that China is a world factory and it manufactures many kinds of product for overseas brands, clothes, electronic products, accessories, all sorts of things.

When a brand places an order, these manufacturers produce more then the usual amount for security reason. After the brands take the necessary amount, the extra products will be distributed to the wholesalers and then the retailers and the retailers will sell the products in an online platform called Taobao, which is similar to Ebay in nature.

Under this situation, you can find good quality products with very cheap price in Taobao. They are close and even exactly the same with the standard you find in official stores.

However, you must be able to type Chinese for searching and understand the comments so that you would not be treated by many bad sellers. Moreover, if you want to buy clothes from different shops, you will have to pay extra amount of shipping fee. (HK$34/ 1 kg in each store)

This is the service I offer to you. Tomatobaby helps you to buy things in Taobao:

Leave me message if you need any keywords in Chinese or simply tell me your needs and I will search for you!

Send me the product links you want to buy and I will arrange for you!

You can choose to ship the product to you directly from the sellers. I will communicate with the seller for you.

If you want to buy from different shops, Tomatobaby helps to collect the products and ship to you at one time so that you can save shipping cost. Moreover, as you will be responsible for the shipping cost if you want to change the product or have refund, you should send to Tomatobaby first. You will not be able to change the items if it is shipped directly to you.

Tomatobaby helps you to communicate with the sellers if you have problem!

Tomatobaby gives opinion by comparing with the same products in other stores.

Ship to Tomatobaby before sending it to you so that your items would be checked before sending to you:

Product price +$34/kg (shipping cost to HK) + worldwide shipping) x 1.19 / 7.8

Example:

Product price in Chinese Dollars (RMB) = RMB $100 shown on the page
