I know I’ve not posted anything substantial on this site, but I’ve currently no time to write reviews and update this site because of all the problems dramafocus.com is giving me. I’ve just managed to set up a backup site for my main site, dramafocus.com, and updating that site will take time.

However, I am attempting to set up a “Drama Focus Network” which will entail ditching the name ‘qingling’ from the urls, and using ‘dramafocus’ instead. In a sense, I’m trying to “re-brand” my review sites. This will include the Singapore Mediacorp drama reviews, and Hong Kong TVB drama reviews. I’ll be working on setting this site up in the next few weeks :)

for now, I’m on HIATUS, which is an official break :)

will update my twitter, so do follow me!

UPDATE:

the Drama Focus Network:
this network has been set up, with 3 subdomains.

we focus on:

1. Singapore Mediacorp Channel 8 drama serials @ sg.dramafocus.co.cc
(run by qingling ~i’m the girl who reviews~)

with reviews on:
- Mediacorp Channel 8 drama serials
- other Singaporean TV programmes
- CDs with content related to the dramas

with links:
- to Mediacorp artistes’ blogs and fansites
- to watch previous drama serials online
- to theme songs and videos of drama serials

2. Hong Kong TVB drama serials

@ tvb.dramafocus.co.cc

(run by qingling ~i’m the girl who reviews~)

i’ll be so excited if TVB really made their own version! hahahh :D well… maybe not. i think it would be best if The Little Nyonya 小娘惹 were to stay a purely-Singaporean icon! :)

i’ve not updated, i’m really sorry about that!!

so i’ve decided that instead of doing show-by-show reviews, which will take a super-duper long time, i’ll do a year-by-year review of all the shows. kinda like the “The BEST and WORST of 2008” and “Looking back at 2008“, which i did for my qingling blog.

on top of that, i’ll do my very best to complete and update the ‘drama songs!‘ and ‘watch online!‘ pages!!! :)

what do you all think? :D

Here’s wishing all of you a very

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR :)

all the very best wishes from me to my readers!!may you all have success in everything you do, have good health, and happiness!!

在这，清伶祝福大家:

新年快乐，事事顺利，事业有成，学业进步，步步高升，万事如意，身体健康，生活美满，年年有余，恭喜发财，财源滚滚，财源广进

一帆风顺、二龙腾飞、三羊开泰、四季平安、五福临门、六六大顺、七星高照、八方来财、九九同心、十全十美！！

HAPPY ‘NIU’ YEAR!

牛年行大运！

Best wishes,
qingling~

i’m sorry to disappoint, as i’ve not actually posted anything concrete here, but i still have over 1000 hits, so THANK YOU, my readers.
i hope that i’ll be able to make more time in this new year to write reviews, and upkeep this site to everyone’s satisfaction!!

This site is now officially open!

This site opens in collaboration with my 1st review site ~i’m the girl who reviews~ qingling.wordpress.com ‘s 2nd anniversary. I’d previously reviewed a few TVB dramas on my site, but have since erased them, deciding that ~i’m the girl who reviews~ qingling.wordpress.com will be a site with only Singaporean drama related content.

I live in Singapore, so I will review according to what is showing now on Singapore free-to-air TV, cable TV, and what is available online – the latest from Hong Kong.

This are the reviews i plan to do soon!

to all my readers from ~i’m the girl who reviews~ qingling.wordpress.com: thanks so much for embarking on this new journey with me, and for suggesting, and helping me make the decisions crucial to the setting up of this site!

thank you for all the support and encouragement! i hope i won’t disappoint in this new blog :)

qingling~

*as of now, 24 Oct 1008, the poll i’ve put on qingling.wordpress.com for the url of the new TVB drama review site hasn’t been decided yet, even though tvbdramas.wordpress.com is leading. the poll will only close on 12 Nov 2008, so i’m not sure if i’ll be functioning out of tvbdramas.wordpress.com or qinglingtvb.wordpress.com*

*this blog’s official opening date will be on 14 November 2008, the same as qingling.wordpress.com, only 2 years later*
