Twins
I'm having twins. I was just told that I'm having twins.
Okay, that's a lie. I would need to have sex first to have twins...well, at least recently, within the past 9 months at least. So, I am not having twins. Darn!
Again, for some reason around July of last year, I had this funny fascination with Chinese music. I guess I wrote in this blog of mine about me going back to my Chinese roots with me getting into books by Chinese authors and watching the television shows that I grew up with.
So pretty much for the past year, I have been listening to Chinese music steadily. This includes Chinese classics by Theresa Teng and Hong Kong pop singers like Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Twins, and some old music that my dad listens to.
I don't understand why I am having these fits of Chinese music. It's just weird. That's one thing I can't shake. I could go weeks and months without watching any of the television shows that I grew up with, but daily I would need to get my daily dose of Chinese music.
I have my designated playlists of Chinese music and Twins in my ipod and itunes. And every day I would listen to the whole playlist while I'm at work. Throughout the year the Chinese playlist would grow and grow with random Chinese songs that I would get from myspace or whatever download site I can find that would allow me to download the music.
Even now, as I listen to Twins, I'm not sick of it. Some days I would just do my random shuffle play on my lovely ipod and I would get antsy because my Chinese music isn't coming up as often as I would like. I would get withdrawal symptoms. It's weird.
But, Twins or Twins. Gillian Chung. Charlene Choi. The Hong Kong pop sensation. I for some reason have a unreasonable obsession with them. I don't know where it stems from...actually I do know where it stem from (More on this later). Here are pics of them.

For the past couple of weeks, they've been all I am listening to mostly. Again, I'm not sure why I have such a fascination with Chinese music and especially their music. They have some great catchy songs not unlike any other addictive cantopop and they sure have their bunch of crappy ones.
It all started about the end of the year last year when I downloaded a particular song of theirs, The Mice Loves Big Rice(Literal Translation). It's a Mandarin song, which means I don't understand much of it....and it's not like I understand any Cantonese songs either, but for some reason, it became one of my favorite songs. It's just so catchy and innocent and I don't understand much of it. But I looked up the video for it and bam it was a mixture of Cantonese and Mandarin and I was smitten.
I showed my friend Susan and she could understood why I liked the song...that they are cute Chinese girls helped. I didn't even notice it until she told me. They are cute. Very cute.
I know that they are big pop stars in Hong Kong and made many movies, so I rented one of their first that drew tons of attention because it was coined a "Twins' Movie". It is called Twins Effect or The Vampire Effect. Just let me get my mini review out of the way...two words: IT SUCKED.
But, there was this lovely beautiful girl in it, one of the twins. Gillian Chung. I was smitten.
Then came an onslaught of movies upon movies and research upon research on them and who they are. I've watched everything that Netflix had to offer with these two ladies. Everything.
Overall, I'm surprised by their acting on the actually good movies. They do have some bad movies. I think out of the many movies they have at Netflix that I've seen, there is only one that I'm gaga over and it's just plain and simple and I love it more for the story than anything else. Just One Look...it's a coming-of-age story about first loves, heart ache, and add a little Cinemaparadisio to it and what is there not to love?
I was really blown away by their acting, especially that of Charlene. She's very subdued and natural. Not over the top at all, and the same can be said with Gillian, but it was Charlene's delivery and acting that made an impression.
As I watcched more and more of their movies, I did notice that Charlene was growing on me too. I know, I'm a dork, stupid, and fickle. Sue me. But Gillian is the prettier one and Charlene is the outgoing one.
Charlene has a very playful and outgoing personality. They both are quite funny, but Charlene has a better personality, where as Gillian is very reserved. I believe that she's loosened up quite a bit...so I've been told.
Anywho, again, unhealthy obsession with these two Chinese girls.
On a side note, I have a severe case of Yellow Fever right now. It's not funny.
For the longest time I have never been an addict of youtube and watching videos online but again I'm obsessed. For the past couple of weeks, when I should be writing at home, all I've been doing has been watching anything that had to do with Twins and Gillian and Charlene. This consists of music videos and interviews and skits and what not that involved one or the other.
Through this I get to see their personality, especially during the interviews. Charlene is the outgoing, talkative, funny one and Gillian is the shy and reserved one. But, in recent interviews she has become more and more talkative and outgoing.
They are both cute, each in their own way.
Unhealthy fascination.
Now, through watching their music videos and listening to their songs I've made another observation. Charlene has the better voice, but again, Gillian is prettier (I'm shallow, I know. I suck).
Since this unhealthy obsession erupted, I have bought two albums Ho Hoo Tan and Our Love - 6th Anniversary. Our Love - 6th Anniversary is a greatest hits album, and there I found some of my favorite Chinese songs.
I would love to sit and write more about this unhealthy, unhealthy, sick and just wrong obsession about my new found crushes, but I have to leave.
