Why do I have this dry cough thing only at night? Is there a way of getting rid of it? Is it a 'heaty' cough?

I have the 1980's version of Tian Long Ba Bu!Originally posted by av98m:Looking forward to the long break! Must finish watching my tian long ba bu vcds this weekend!
When I played the Chinese flute in JC, I used to hide in an empty tutorial room, sit on the window ledge, and play my favourite Hong Kong TV series songs, including the Tian Long Ba Bu main song and other songs. -
Aiyoh, si mi si Liao Zai? My pin yin very poor one leh.Originally posted by Rhonda:littlestream, today, I bought the Liao Zai series on VCD! It was going at 50%!!! Such a great buy!
BTW, you mentioned a Hong Kong series about lawyers... what's it called again?
The lawyers one? It's called When Rules Turn Loose. You know the War & Beauty? Well, the modern equivalent is The Charm Beneath. Also domestic politics one. Not bad.
Wah, you so rich one ah? You actually buy ah.....and originals some more ah? *Applause* Really eh sai man, you! -
Orh... that one! Maybe tomorrow, I'll drop by the Medical Hall.Originally posted by the Bear:you need that herbal concoction with the hornet in it -
Cannot!!! I must eat ALONE!!!Originally posted by Rhonda:Ooh goodie!! Hopefully, I'll still be around then but I doubt so.
Can ask kops or Bear to organise a durian feast in Geylang!
Firstly, cannot share.
Secondly, they may mistake me for hungry ghost. -
That's the version I'm watching! Qiao Feng is the arseluck joe of the series.Originally posted by Rhonda:I have the 1980's version of Tian Long Ba Bu!

Do you have the 3 CD set, Gang Ju Jing Dian? I could not find a copy even after mcuh searching and finally got a friend to burn a copy for me. -
Liao2 Zai1... that famous Chinese collection of weird stories?Originally posted by littlestream:Aiyoh, si mi si Liao Zai? My pin yin very poor one leh.

Well, it was three boxed sets for less than $50! Usually, it'll cost over $100! Don't you think it was a great buy?!
Maybe, it's much more expensive if you were to attempt to buy it over there? Here, there are hefty discounts at Poh Kim and / or TS, the two large VCD chains here.
Man, I'll miss watching Asian movies and series when I'm in Melbourne. I'm sure they're pretty ex there!

Oh wait... I got mixed up... I've been wanting to buy Tian Long Ba Bu but ended up buying Yi3 Tian1 Tu2 Long2 Ji4 instead!Originally posted by av98m:That's the version I'm watching! Qiao Feng is the arseluck joe of the series.

I think my parents bought Tian Long Ba Bu. Not sure if they have the one you want though. I'll go check when I visit grandma next - they keep most of their VCD's at grandma's place where the other relatives would try to borrow them too... and most of them don't ever return the stuff they took!

That's soooo funny!!!
OK, how about we bring you there, then you sit alone at your own table and nobody fights with you for your precious durians?

av, I'm very impressed! You're one of the few peeps I know who's English-educated and yet, loves the Wu3 Xia2 series!
Waaaah!! -
you have got NOTHING on me when it comes to eating mangosteens...
and durians are about the same when i get going
so, don't worry about "hungry ghostie" -
Thats all right, since I already got the copies. Felt like buying the whole trilogy at one shot, she diao ying xiong juan, shen diao xia nu, and yu tian tu long ji. The original 80s versions. But very xiong to buy like that! $$$!Originally posted by Rhonda:Oh wait... I got mixed up... I've been wanting to buy Tian Long Ba Bu but ended up buying Yi3 Tian1 Tu2 Long2 Ji4 instead!
