Miriam Yeung - Just Right


Miriam Yeung's songs this year has mirrored my own attitudes. At the beginning of the year, she brought us "The Best Debt", a song about a lost friendship. It spoke right to my heart because of my yearning to reconnect with an old friend. Now, Miriam brings us "Just Right" (剛剛好). It has a calming melody composed by Eason Chan, with lyrics written by Lin Xi. Both of them also make an appearance in the MV.

Sometimes fate has a weird way of working things out. Things may not go your way initially, but in the end, it turns out to be "just right". Looking back, I am actually glad that things happened the way it did, even though, for the longest time, I had desperately wished for a different way. But now, I realize how content I am with my current life and it wouldn't be like this if things had happened differently. I no longer hope to change the past, instead I have learned to appreciate how the past has shaped my present. As we get ready to step into the new year, I know that I have finally, and truly, let go of the past and I am excited to move forward.

To everyone, may you find peace and happiness in 2016 and may everything turn out to be just right for you!

Predictions for TVB Awards 2015

Best Actor: Anthony Wong (Lord of Shanghai). I don't think anyone can argue that he wouldn't deserve the TV King title.
Winner: Anthony Wong


Best Actress: Kristal Tin & Nancy Wu (Ghost of Relativity). Could TVB really award dual TV Queens for the first time in history?
Winner: Nancy Wu


Favourite Male Character: Ruco Chan (Captain of Destiny). How do you not give an award to this handsome prince?
Winner: Ruco Chan


Favourite Female Character: Linda Chung (Limelight Years). She probably has the fan base to win this.
Winner: Kristal Tin


Best Supporting Actor: Joel Chan (Captain of Destiny). He seems to be a favourite?
Winner: Willie Wai


Best Supporting Actress: Natalie Tong (Raising the Bar). I honestly have no idea who might win this, so I'll just fill it in with my own choice. Natalie has been such a pleasure to watch in all of her roles in the past few years.
Winner: Elaine Yiu


Most Improved Actor: Tony Hung. According to the "Sandy Yu Rule", either Tony or Priscilla has to walk away with an award, right?
Winner: Tony Hung


Most Improved Actress: Grace Chan. Forget about Captain of Destiny. I think she did great in Raising the Bar.
Winner: Grace Chan


Best Series: Lord of Shanghai.
Winner: Lord of Shanghai


Best Classic Series: War of Genders. The fact that this series just finished airing in the late-night slot will probably give it an edge in the voting.

Winner: "Secret of Tears" by Jinny Ng (The Empress of China)

Best Host: Johnson Lee and Pal Sinn (Sze U Tonight)
