this show is for those volleyball fanatics. its really nice. revolves ard love, volleyball and school life. there' still one more volleyball show. attack no 1. shall write abt it next time. go watch this show if u have the time (:

This series is based on high school life, love, and one sport - volleyball. When Mia (Vivien Yeo) was young, she and her sisters, Ah Kiu (Charmaine Li), and Yan Yan (Yoyo Chen) met a fortune teller. The fortune teller gave Mia a bag and told her to open it when she turns 18 and she would find her true love. She told her to choose carefully so she wouldn't hurt her family. Mia and her sisters buried the bag and promised not to open it until Mia came back to Hong Kong. Mia stayed with her aunt while the Ah Kiu and Yan Yan went back to Hong Kong.

10 years later... Mia came back to Hong Kong and on her 18th birthday, Mia and her sisters dug up the bag and opened it. The letter inside the bag said Mia's true love would have a four leave clover birthmark on him. Mia was happy when she discovers that Ah Sun (Charles Szeto), the most popular guy in school whom is also the star volleyball player, has the four-leaf clover mark on his shoulder.

Yan Yan then decides that Mia should join the school's beach volleyball team so that Ah Sun will notice her. In order to do so, they go through different schemes and fail until they get Ah Kiu to help them, pretending to be Mia and playing amazingly at volleyball while Ah Sun is watching. Ah Sun, of course being the captain of the volleyball team, decides to recommend the "amazing" volleyball player Mia into the team. Ah Sun slowly develops a love for Mia thinking she is a beautiful girl in his school who shares his love of volleyball, both interest and skill wise. Soon after, Mia and Ah Sun start dating.

Though they could trick Ah Sun once, they cannot do the same thing during practise, therefore leading a very suspicious coach and team mates into their hands. Dealing with the school's most popular girl, Eugene, and her buddies, Yan Yan and Mia play a game of volleyball against them. Ah Kiu coming to the rescue just in time, beats Eugene for them, earning her a direct pass into the volleyball team. Mia's volleyball playing days do not last long for after a few practises the coach decides to get rid of her as well. Of course the boyfriend comes to the rescue and declares that her ability to play amazingly is not at its best since she injured herself in a game. Negotiating with the coach, Ah Sun helps Mia stay on the team be getting her to become the second manager.

In a series of events the Yip sisters soon discovers another guy in their school bearing the four-leaf clover birthmark. This guy is the school's rumoured bad boy Nic Fong (Vin Choi). Though she has begun dating Ah Sun, Mia discovers that her mind always trails back to Nic. Whats more, she tells him to join the volleyball team in response to hearing him confess that he's been secretly watching her dance afterschool and how beautiful he thought she was. She was convinced by her sisters that she should tell him to be on the team so that she can have a change to be close to him and see if he was the guy for her instead of Ah Sun.

The story continues in complication as Ah Kiu begins to realize that she has liked Ah Sun from the beginning. Though she has always believed that she is unlike the normal bubbly girl that is head over heals for a popular pretty boy like Ah Sun, her jealousy towards Mia and Ah Sun relationship grows as they become closer. Though the best friend of Ah Sun, Ah kit, repeatedly reminds her that his love for her is never ending, she does not respond to it and only becomes more and more jealous and miserable.

just finished reading this book called the end of forever by lurlene mcdaniel. cried a bucket of tears while reading it. maybe just half a bucket. if not i would have dehydrated. ha. there're two novels in this book. its a linked story. Somewhere Between Life and Death and Time To Let Go.

somewhere between life and death

The celebration isn't supposed to end in tragedy. The night of their high-school drama group's cast party starts out as fun for sisters Amy and Erin.Their lives come crashing down when Amy takes the car to get more food and has a horrible accident. Erin and her family pray for Amy to awaken from her coma. But as the monitor bleeps and the respirator hisses, Amy lies somewhere between life and death.Erin and her parents must find the courage to accept the fact that Amy's life-support system will never bring her back. When she dies, can the family give some meaning to her senseless death? Can Amy's dying become the hope for someone else's living?


time to let go

The doctors assure Erin Bennett and her parents that they can't find a physical cause for her headaches. But the throbbing, violent pain is so intense that Erin knows she needs help. Even landing the lead in the senior musical opposite David Devlin, the good-looking, popular guy everyone else is wild about, doesn't give Erin much pleasure. In fact, she finds David so annoying that her headaches are getting worse. Erin knows that the headaches started just after the death of her younger sister, Amy, one year ago. She though her grieving was over, but somehow the headaches must be connected to Amy. The therapist Erin starts seeing begins to help her deal with her pain, but what is it about David that triggers Erin's violent reaction?


i love all her books. she writes about people who are sick or the people around them who are sick. the stories show us how they cope with their life. how they carry on living even though their life had been drastically changed. life is not all smooth sailing. those who happen to go to the library. i recommend u guys to read her books.
“I write the kind of books I write because I want to help kids understand
that nobody gets to pick what life dishes out to them. What you do get to
choose is how you respond to what life gives you. No matter what happens,
life is a gift. And always worth living.”—Lurlene McDaniel



the book gave me an excellent excuse to cry my heart out.

zack's fren, a rp lecturer, went there to eat today. XH talked to him bout her situation now and mine. cos of my maths. my chance of getting in is slim. my mood was alrdy down at that point of time. upon hearing that my mood got even worse. im tired of hoping. cos wad i hoped for most of the time don't come true. things are going hay wire in my life. im still bottling up all my feeling and negative thoughts. i cant imagine how i'll feel if i let them all out. i feel so feeling-less and numb now. thank God for my frens who are with me.

yeah! going kbox tml with xiuhui denzel and bin di. been a long time since i went there. hope i'll forget all the unhappy stuff for just tml and enjoy myself.

revolving doors of vengeance. im so in love with this show now. i really dunno where the passion for hotels came from. i just love hotels. the environment. the ambience. the place where ppl stay during their holiday. the purpose of a hotel. just too bad. i cant get into the course i wan. even the course in RP which is 18. so much higher then the rest of the polys. so disappointed. whenever i watch this show. the more i want to work in hotel. the first three songs on my playlist are from the show. they're really nice. joe ma is a really good actor. he's convincing in every role he acted in. ron ng has improved alot.
