CBS cancels 'Ghost Whisperer'

I've just finished watching the last episode in the 5th season of 'Ghost Whisperer'. Says in the subtitles that CBS has cancelled the show after the 5th season, and I was like, huh?! True, there have been moments when I thought the show was deviating way too far from where it had come, but I love Melinda and Jim. Even though I was lost about the Romano thing and Gabriel (I still don't know if he is indeed Melinda's brother, and what happened to him in the end). And somehow they just stopped talking about this hidden town beneath Melinda's store. Melinda's mother doesn't appear anymore, and Professor Rick Payne never returned from his trip. And of course, there's this kill-Jim-and-put-him-in-Sam's-body saga that drove off a lot of viewers. Ah, but this show has been with me for FIVE years, man. How can I not be saddened? Though I think the ending (if it's really the end) was pretty good... The Shinies were revealed to be ghosts of children who have gone into the light (yeah sweet little Cassidy returns in episode 22!), and they united under Aiden to save Melinda from the Shadows. I was pretty touched by that scene. And in the final scene, the Clancy family accepted that the gifts Melinda and Aiden have should be treasured. Melinda thanked Aiden for being her hero that night, and Aiden said "So are you, everyday." Awww, so sweet!

There are talks that ABC might take over the show. I hope it's true, and they'll do a good job and return to how Ghost Whisperer originally was. More emotions and less conspiracy. I used to cry watching every single episode of season 1 and 2.

Just finished watching "Orange Days".

You know why it had caught my attention?

Because the characters are about to graduate and are looking for jobs. Hah.

But that aside, I'd really recommend this drama to everyone. Really nice. Had me laughing (see "Shanghai Honey" =P) and my heart twitching and aching and at the end, feeling warm and fuzzy.

That's the thing about Japanese drama. Ever so motivational, but 不留痕迹. Not like Mediacorp dramas, which are clearly preaching in a very cliched manner. Watching doramas really make you have that "tomorrow will be better, let's run towards the sun" feeling.

Hagio Sae
Aida Shohei
Ozawa Akane
Yashima Keita

Every character was very well-developed. Ahh... that empty feeling after finishing a drama... :(

Oh ya, that Sano character is actually played by Kashiwabara Takashi, aka 直树 in "It all started with a Kiss". I totally couldn't recognise him!!!

It's finally over. 3 years of uni life. Will be entering the workforce if I were not doing Honours project.

Isn't it amazing how fast time passes?

Had a karaoke outing with the CHIP gang (aka ‘神经一族’ as they like to call it :P) today... Went all the way to Paya Lebar!!! ONE hour train ride! Phew, although it's cheaper than K-box (how can anything be more expensive than that), I don't think I'll ever go there again. It's just too far away.

It was a pretty nice outing, I guess. Though in view of our impending graduation I do feel a tinge of sadness, especially since Esther will be returning to Hong Kong after the graduation ceremony. It feels kind of odd, like to have a friend leave and you'll probably never see her again.

I borrowed 2 books from the library. Trying to learn Japanese. I've been wanting to do these for ages, but now I think it's crazy to try to learn a language on your own by reading books. I don't think it works. Sigh, see how it goes bah...
