CC Gang Gathering: Death Note+Farewell HM

[Lunch] Met up with the gals @ PS, then walked over to The Cathay to buy tixs for "Death Note-The Last Name-". Luckily the movie was screened @ The Grand Cathay, the largest cinema in the building ba, so not worried abt getting lousy seats. Had our lunch @ Shokudo at basement1. I had Katsu Curry Rice & it's delicious! SC had Oyako Don, HM had her sushi set & cha soba while CH & GC had their chicken teriyaki set.
[Death Note2] Met up with PY later and went to catch our long-waited movie. Basically, had some rough idea of what's happening la, but still had some surprises tho. Like I thought L was dead before Light, who knows L actually won the whole "game" la. That's quite interesting. Death Note focused more on how Light killed ppl using the Death Note while the sequel focused on nabbing the kiras. Hmm...i preferred Death Note 1 la, coz' it's more exciting and i was curious on various ways to kill ppl using the notebook. Like Light's watch in DN2 also, so stylo, can hide the notebook paper in the watch lo! For those who had watch DN but still wondering shld watch the sequel or not, go watch ba...everything wld be complete.
[HM] Went back to PS and had a small talk in Burger King. Actually we were stalling time for GC to buy photo frame la, while we entertained ourselves by crapping & recording our "last" moments with HM. Why leh? Coz' she's gg for her student xchange prog on 2nd Jan lah, to HK lo! First time a gd pal of mine is leaving me for so long...(5mths not short leh...) We were kinda worried abt this sotong gal gg overseas without any familiar pals lah, but i guess she wld be very fine there! Hahaha! Must take care of yourself ah! KEEP IN TOUCH K? Really enjoyed the moments we had today & hope u like our little gift la. Hehehe!
[Countdown] Once again, have to send of 2006 & welcome 2007. As usual, i wld be watching countdown concert from TVBS @ Taipei, and wld switch back to local prog for fireworks. Hehe! I really dunno why Mediacorp cant showcase the whole countdown event. Anyway, HG central wld be having a countdown later, first time ba? Ha...wondering what wld happen lo..hehe! Also, Mr Chean is at home this yr...like long time didnt countdown with him liao? 2 yrs?
[2007] Carina asked me abt my new yr resolutions for the coming yr. I told her i didnt think abt it...lol! Ya i really didnt, coz to me life still goes on. What i wanna do is always the same every yr. Family & friends stay healthy and happy; May SG continue to prosper & for me leh...improvements in results ba. Hahaha! And also, E.W wants to do spring cleaning tmr! What the....wish me gd luck. Still got assignment to do..hehe!

TV Drama Review #52 - War of in-laws 我的野蛮奶奶

Episodes: 20
Yr of telecast/TV Stn: 2005/TVB
Main Cast:
Lisa Wang ~Xitala Shuo Lan
Myolie Wu ~ Tian Li (Shiyi)
Bosco Wong ~ Ning Mao Chun/Bu Liu Ming
Shi Xiu ~ Ning Feng De/Bro Yun
Wu Yong Wei ~ Long Qiao Qiao
Summary: Princess Shuo Lan was the cousin of the current Empress in the Ching Dynasty. She's an arrogant woman who abused her status to get whatever she wanted. Even her mother-in-law as to give way to her and she called shots in Ning family. Shiyi and her bandit family were running away from the guards when she pretended to be a bride and got carried away to Ning family and was forced to marry Shuo Lan's only son Mao Chun. Nobody knew her true identity as the Ning family thought she was "xiu nv" from the Emperor. Though Shiyi didnt dislike Mao Chun, she was rather disappointed with him as Mao Chun was a mummy's boy and weak in nature. Just then, "Bu Liu Ming", a thief who robbed the rich to help the poor saved Shiyi twice. Shiyi fell for him instantly becoz' of his heroic acts. However, it happened that "Bu Liu Ming" was Mao Chun in disguise. He was jealous of himself as Shiyi liked "Bu Liu Ming" instead of him.
Soon, Shiyi's real identiity was known and Shuo Lan wanted to throw her out of the house, just then, Mao Chun lied and said Shiyi was pregnant. Thus, chaos continued till Shiyi's fake pregnancy was revealed. Shuo Lan decided to take revenge by faking ill and got Shiyi to take care of her. Shuo Lan decided to get Mao Chun to have a concubine so as to revenge on Shiyi. It happened to be Ling Shan, who was the daughter of Mao Chun's master.
On the other hand, Shiyi's aunt Qiao Qiao has been waiting for her bro Yun for 20 yrs. Finally she met him in the capital, but he was Shuo Lan's husband now! Shuo Lan couldnt accept Qiao Qiao and Feng De's past and decided to chase the bandits out of the capital. Things got worse and Ning family lost everything. Shuo Lan was thrown out by Feng De's evil brothers and had to fend for herself alone.
Mao Chun decided to clear his mum's name by finding out the real mastermind of the fire at the boat, but got himself into trouble as his "Bu Liu Ming" identity was revealed.
Comments: A very entertaining drama. Storyline was very comedy and funny until the last few epis, to be exact, after Qiao Qiao met Feng De. The storyline went downhill a little and the plot was kinda rushy towards the end. I really like the chemistry b/w Lisa Wang, Myolie; Myolie & Bosco. Towards the end, it's kinda weird that the princess realised her faults and refused to return home. Also, Mao Chun's master betrayed him after Ling Shan died. The twist was abit too sudden lah. TVB's ending epi can be very lame sometimes, not an exception here as well, basically after they saved Mao Chun, the ending was kinda out of way la. Lolz!
Acting wise, Lisa Wang really deserved to be the best actress in 2005. She really gave her best shot and acted as the arrogant princess. Her gestures and expressions were very vivid. And of coz, our daughter-in-law Myolie was full of expressions too. Her acting was a little exaggerating, but that's really fun lah! Bosco's Mao Chun was ok lah, but i preferred his "bu liu ming", very handsome with tt mask lo. Hahahah! Shi Xiu and other support cast did a good job too, though i dun like his 2 brothhers and their wives.
I was rooting for Shiyi & Mao Chun couple. How i wish there are more scenes with the 2 of them!
The themesong by Lisa, Myolie & Bosco was super nice lah! There's a little rapping element with a traditional chinese music background. Really stylo!
Ratings: 9.5/10 (Although the last few epis really kinda spoilt the mood, it's definitely a must-watch for TVB fans ah! Cannot miss ah!)

TV Drama Review #51 - Gokusen 极道女鲜师

Episodes: 12 + 1 special
Yr of telecast/TV Stn: 2002/NTV
Main Cast:
Nakama Yukie ~ Yamaguchi Kumiko
Matsumoto Jun ~ Sawada Shin
Namase Katsuhisa ~Sawatari Goro
Oguri Shun ~ Uchiyama Haruhiko
Waki Tomohiro ~ Kumai Teruo
Ito Misaki ~ Fujiyama Shizuka
Summary: From DramaWiki
Faito, oh! The story of a young, idealistic teacher who enters Shirokin Gakuen with hopes of making a difference in the students' lives. However, Yamaguchi Kumiko is in for a rude awakening when she finds that she will be the homeroom teacher of 3-D, the hardest class to maintain in the school. The students have multi-colored hair, sloppy uniforms, and show absolutely no respect to her. The leader of the class, Sawada Shin is lazy but bright and shows some interest in Yamaguchi when he notices that she is very different from other teachers. The students try to bully her to make her quit, but their attempts don't get them very far.
What the class and the rest of the school does not know is that Yamaguchi Kumiko is actually the 4th generation heir to the Ooedo Group, a notorious yakuza clan. Even though her family would like her to take the title of Ojou when her grandfather dies, they have accepted the fact that Yamaguchi would rather be a teacher.
Eventually, the students learn to respect their quirky teacher because of her devotion to them, and even give her a nickname: Yankumi.
Comments: The plot was similar to "Gokusen 2", so dont expect too much difference. Like the scenes with Yuta, the small boy. Also, Yankumi's omai where she wore a kimono, looked pretty lo! It's really funny to see Yankumi going gaga over that policeman, but well, nothing will come out between them la. Finally, the ending epi when her identity was revealed to the public, it's kinda emotional as the kids cant bear her to quit.
Acting wise, Nakama didnt disappoint us, but for the kids, acting skills were average. Matsumoto from Arashi kinda reminded me of his character in "Hana Yori Dango". Ito Misaki, who wasnt that famous back then, gave a so so performance lah. Well, actually their characters had limited development and depth, so cant expect much. Sawatari is still the funny guy who is always gg against Yankumi. Hehe!
Special appearance from Ichikawa Yui who acted as Sawada's sister and Wentz Eiji from Watz, who was the 27th student of class 3D. Themesong was from V6 "Feel your breeze".
Overall, it's a fun drama which you guys would enjoy.
Also check out the special which show class 3D's graduation! The special is so funny!
Trivia: Gokusen is an abrevation of Gokudo no Sensei which means Gangster Teacher.
Ratings: 8/10 (Yankumi! Faito Oh!)

小旋风+TV talk

[小旋风]刚才和芳子一起去那里吃午餐。其实这是我第一次在那里dine-in 啦，服务水准还不错啦。
芳子的黑醋木耳。。忘了那个名称。。哈哈!
芳子的拉面。。好像有四川菜吧?
我的4块9毛套餐。。。北京的葱油饼，不过用了本地roti prada的饼皮。相当松脆可口哦!
4块9毛套餐第二道菜。。是咖哩鸡! 还挺好吃的，适合不吃辣的朋友喔!
去小旋风怎能少了上海小笼包呢?!
[TV] Received the latest "Telescope", saw some major changes of drama timeslots. Aiyo, must read awhile to re-adjust myself. (evidence of getting old..haiz)
Basically, there are changes in channel 55 and 56 la. For channel 55 leh, the sunday 10.30pm korean drama slot will be airing debut dramas la, instead of repeated ones. So if you guys havent watch before "Wedding", it's starting soon la.
The problematic one is ch 56. Saw some changes in the 6pm and 7pm slots. Also the 11pm slot is confusing, coz from the programme schedule, some dramas are not showing consecutively lor. Sianz...at least I am not affected la. So, my afternoon Japanese slot has shifted to Sat night 9pm. That means, I couldnt online too long on sat liao! Aiyo eh...Also, why ch 55 dont want to air "Always Ready" on 9pm?? Haiz...i always have a crash of timeslot at 8pm lor! Qi si wo le!

TV Drama Review #50 - Lovers in Prague 布拉格恋人

Episodes: 18
Yr of telecast/TV Stn: 2005/SBS
Main Cast:
Jeon Do Yeon ~ Yoon Jae Hee
Kim Joo Hyuk ~ Choi Sang Hyun
Kim Min Joon ~ Ji Young Woo
Yoon Se Ah ~ Kim Hye Joo
Andy Lee(Shinhwa) ~ Ji Seung Woo
Jang Geun Suk ~ Yoon Gun Hee
Ha Jeong Woo ~ Ahn Dong Nam
Summary: "Second drama of the 'Lovers in Europe' Trilogy. From the director and scriptwriter of 'Lovers in Paris'. A love story between the president's daughter and a minor detective with Prague, Czech Republic as its background."
Yoon Jae Hee is a diplomat & the daughter of the president of Korea. She met Ji Young Woo in Prague and fell in love. However, Young Woo failed to return to Prague and made her wait for 5 yrs, which let Jae Hee heartbroken. Choi Sang Hyun, a police officer who just won an award from the President, left for Prague to find his girlfriend Hye Joo, who was there to study. He met Jae Hee who helped him to find Hye Joo but their impression of each other werent very good. Sang Hyun finally found out that Hye Joo was bearing someone's child and was heartbroken. After he returned to Korea, he met Jae Hee unexpectedly when he requested a car to stop for inspection. Their fate entangled with each other, but Young Woo came to Jae Hee while Hye Joo's child was actually the son of Young Woo's father. Jae Hee finally won Sang Hyun's heart after much perseverance, but their relationship was affected when Young Woo tried to attempt suicide....
Comments: Honestly, if scv didnt show this drama, i wouldnt be bothered to watch it over @ youtube. Firstly, the plot didnt interest me. Secondly, the cast was rather mature. Jeon Do Heon & Kim Joo Hyuk were famous for their movies, but i wonder if they could do well in a drama. Well, i was super glad that i gave it a try and watched it faithfully every sat night.
The plot was actually quite interesting and addictive most of the time. Especially loved to see how Jae Hee took the initiative to get close to Sang Hyun. Their chemistry was so good la. It's really interesting to listen to their dialogues and to see their care & concern to each other. Even other small details were so nice & touching too. For eg, the sport shoes they wore in the marathon, the prague dolls, the green tea Sang Hyun grew, the milk he told Jae Hee to drink etc.
Kim Joo Hyuk isnt a handsome lad, but he is attractive in his own way. So is Jeon Do Heon. Saying about Jae Hee, she reminded me of her fashion sense in the drama...very different from other female leads in other dramas lo...esp her victorian style blouses.
I didnt like anything that gotta do with Hye Joo and Young Woo. Sorry for being bias. Kim Min Joon's image was really not handsome leh and i really hated him from ep 13 to ep 16. Hahaha! Why go attempt suicide lo? wanna made Jae Hee so guilty..and the best is he lied that he was deaf after the accident. Really wanna humptump him! Not much comments for Yoon Se Ah. She's alright basically, her character wasnt the evil one, more towards those pitiful roles. I guessed i must really give thumbs up for Young Woo's dad. Super cold and heartless fella. His expression was the same throughout the drama, butta dunno why i think it's hard to maintain that expression. haha! The storyline was super sad and serious from ep 13 to ep16, though they were some sweet moments of Jae Hee & Sang Hyun together. Dont worry la! Yu guo tian qing, the ending wont be a disappoinment la. (as compared to Lovers in Paris)
Wanna mention some new faces as well. This is Andy's first drama i think..and he's from Shinhwa. Hmm...nothing much, his character was rather pitiful too...coz' his dad (Young Woo's dad) treated him like his employee rather than a son. He only treats Young Woo as his son, it's really sad. Jae Hee's bro Gun Hee had some appearances as well, with another gal whom he likes. Why wanna mention this guy Jang Geun Suk? Coz' he's now famous after acting in "Hwang Jini". As for Jae Hee's bodyguard Dong Nam...he's quite a funny guy too la. Love his dialogue with Sang Hyun...hahaha! Btw, Ha Jeong Woo's movie was in sg theatres earlier on. That movie title forgot liao, but i know it's about plastic surgery and it's R21 ba. Ha!
As for Kim Min Joon, you can catch him in his new drama "Someday", Yoon Se Ah in "Smile Again" & for Kim Joo Hyuk, his new movie "Love Zero" starring Moon Geun Young too. I wld definitely be watching if it's coming to sg la.
Ratings: 8.5/10 (I think it's better than Lovers in Paris, in terms of the plot.)

SIM Gang Gathering: Christmas Gift Exchange

TV Drama Review #49 - Freeze 冻结

Episodes: 5
Yr of telecast/tv stn: 2006/CGV
Main Cast:
Lee Seo Jin ~ Baek Joong Won
Park Han Byul ~ Kim Ji Woo
Son Tae Young ~ Lee Hwa
Summary: Lee Hwa has been in love with Joong Won for 360 years. Although she hates that she cant die as she wish coz' she's a vampire, she turned Joong Won into a vampire as well. However, Joong Won didnt know Lee Hwa's feelings and fell for a young girl Ji Woo instead. Lee Hwa was jealous of Ji Woo and on the other hand, she was pestered by a policeman. Soon, it's time for them to return to the place where everything started and end everything....
Comments: A very "dark" drama, as in many scenes were filmed in the dark. The plot was quite unique coz' i hardly get to see such vampire themes in kr drama, except that sitcom "hello francesca", which i didnt watch. Storyline was simple, and it only last 5 epis. Though it's short, the pace was rather slow lah, and the whole feeling was quite still, dull in that sense. Obviously it's a sad story..so wont say too much abt the plot le. Cast was grand tho. Lee Seo Jin's performance was good, full of agony when he needs to drink blood and his pale expressions were captivating. U can catch him in "Lovers". Park Han Byul's performance was alright tho, didnt really like her yet...maybe the drama is too short for her character to fully develop ba. Many of u wld have known her in "wishing stairs" and u can catch her in "Fantasy Couple". Son Tae Young's performance outshine Han Byul...to me la. May be becoz' she's another pitiful fella. She looked elegant most of the time and her character has some depth too.
OST was dull to me la...and this drama was shown during midnight earlier on in Korea..haha who's watching huh?
Ratings: 6.5/10 (Maybe it's a little dull for me and the pace was slow...Still a nice try for the plot tho.)

TV Drama Review #48 - Love Guaranteed 爱情全保

Episodes: 20
Yr of telecast/TV Stn: 2006/TVB
Main Cast:
Sunny Chan ~ Ken Guo Fu Qiang
Melissa Ng ~ Hazel Gu Ruo Xi
Kenneth Ma ~ Tim Guo Fu Qin
Cherrie Kang ~ Maggie Wu Mei Qi
Summary: Ken is an insurance agent who works for a very superstitious boss Hao Jing. Resentment came in b/w him and Hazel after Hazel snatched his client and he indirectly told Hazel that her boyfriend Yuan He had known another woman. Hazel came to his company and competed with Ken's team. Just then, both of them came out with this idea of "Love insurance" and it was so successful. Hao Jing told the media that they were a couple and they have to fake their relationship in front of others, so that people wld come and buy their insurance. As time passed both of them fall in love with each other and even prepared to get married. Hazel got promoted and become Ken's superior. Ken was stressed up and on their wedding day, he told Hazel that he's not gonna to marry her....
Comments: Honestly, I didnt really enjoy the plot though it's watchable. The plot wasnt unique or interesting. It's a very standard TVB production...which i have said many times. Ha! The only part i found this drama nice was the interaction b/w Sunny Chan and Mel Ng and when the "luv insurance" was out. I dont like the couple Kenneth Ma & Cherrie Kang, kinda find them irritating. The other side plots were alright, but nothing to steal the limelight of the main leads.
Just as i was happy for the lead couple, the plot wld always make sure they wont be happy for too long...and that kinda irritates me sometimes. Like the wedding scene in epi 18..it's ending and it turned out that Ken said those words...what the... Ending was kinda rushy too...
It's nice to see Mel Ng back with strong nv qiang ren roles, reminded me of Jessica H Hsuan. Haha! Sunny and her looked quite perfect as the lead roles lah. Acting wise it's the usual stuffs from them. Not bad but nothing new to offer. Sunny's role is still the usual nice guy, abit sotong over relationship problems. Haha!
Themesong dont sound nice to me initially, butta i think it's getting nicer as i listen more la. hehe!
Ratings:7/10 (average drama...but watch it for Sunny and Melissa...haha!)

National Museum

[Today] Went to National Musuem with E.W & PF. Wow PF was an elegant lady today wor! Had our lunch @ Ajisen PS.

My Ajisen ramen, with gyoza (not inside pic). Hmm...i think i still prefer rice to noodles. I am fan tong mah.
The new national meseum!
Didnt take a closer look at that row of stone blocks....
One of the exhibits..the swinging lamps...got different types of movements.
An American artist doing his artwork..with crayons i think. Looked really nice lo!
[Exhibits] Bought the admission ticket with a package to view the SG Living galleries, SG History gallery and the temporary exhibition of "Maria Theresia, the empress of Habsburg Austria". Only 15bucks for adults, and half price for students. We visited the Maria Theresia exhibition first at basement. The exhibits were really amazing la, coz' i havent seen such exhibition before mah. The exhibition showed about the Empress's childhood la, her husband & family la, her reign la and the outfits they wore during that time, the utensils she used etc. I was really amazed that she cld gave birth to 11 kids! Wah seh!
Went to visit the 4 SG Living galleries @ 2nd floor. They include: Food, Photography, Film and Fashion. Quite interesting eh!
Last stop @ the history gallery. Each of us were given a companion each. It's actually an audio guide to guide us throughout the visit. We cld just press the number buttion shown on the floor when we reach a particulor segment. Very high-tech lo! But i think they shld have other 3 official languages asap..coz' just english is not enough la. Anyway, it's a nice experience la!
[Bugis] Went to Bugis Junction to meet Tuan for shopping. Had our dinner @ Treek Cafe (spelling correct?).
Set meal dish 1...soup!
Dish 2...my coffee..u can choose tea too.
Main course...got alot to choose. I picked seafood Aglio Olio. Err..conclusion is i still prefer traditional tomato sauce spagh...lol!
PF's main course roast chicken..got 3 choices to choose; rice, spagh or fries.
Final dish...ice cream. Choco or vanilla.
Overall, the whole set meal is cheap..12 plus only exclusive of service charge and gst. Butta i think it's better to choose western main course la.
PF left for her carolling @ Whitesands while we 3 went to shop. Tuan bought a shirt from M:industries and a skirt from S&K. My new yr clothes mission only consist of a khakis pant..and i found it @ S&K as well. Had enough new shirts this yr, so wont be buying le. Think Mr Chean & E.W shld shop for their stuffs la. Anyway, had a nice trip with mummy,Tuan & PF today!

The curse of Zhong Ji Mi Ma

[Yday] Went to Tamp with SC and met up with HM at Tamp Mall. Ha! Lucky i still know the way to go to PY's house, after my last visit n yrs ago. Lolz!

Played "Dai Di", which I didnt touched for n yrs also...super unfamiliar, but i won the first game. Lolz! Meanwhile, we were talking about many stuffs. Dun think PY will read this butta you have all my blessings ok? For what leh? EVERYTHING! hahaha! Shall not disclose too much here liao.

TV Drama Review #47 - What's up Fox?

Episodes:16
Yr of telecast/TV Stn: 2006/MBC
Main Cast:
Go Hyun Jung ~ Go Byung Hee
Chun Jung Myung ~ Park Chul Soo
Kim Eun Joo ~ Go Jun Hee
Son Hyun Joo~ Park Byung Kak
Summary: The story is about a not-so-bright older girl of 33 years old with a heart of a 24-year-old called Go Byung Hee, who works as a reporter in a third-rate magazine company. One day, she gets into an accident with her friend Seung Hye's brother, Park Chul Soo . He is a 24-year-old male working as a mechanic at a car repair shop. Although Chul Soo does not have much in life, he is filled with ambition and enjoys life by doing the things he loves, working as a mechanic and traveling. It turns out that Chul Soo has been secretly in love for Byung Hee for quite sometime and their relationship twisted after that night's incident.
Until they realise that true love is just around the corner, this couple continues to pursue this unique romantic relationship of "dating a friend's brother" and "dating my sister's friend".
Comments: I simply loved this drama! From "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" writer! Oh my she's terrific! Haha! Basically the drama is rather daring itself. Why? Coz this drama is kinda "R..rated". Lolz! Dont worry..it's not really rated lah...just that it's really more bolder than other Kr dramas. Byung Hee's job is already quite interesting...working in a "third-rate" mag co lo..think what's the mag about ok...hehe! Plot was interesting, though a little "too sweet" in epi 13 & epi 14. Basically, it focused on how Byung Hee overcomed her worries in dating Chul Soo, who she sees as her little brother since young. She just cant treat him as a man becoz' of this la...it's really funny k. The other side plot was about Byung Hee with a doctor who she liked at first, and Jun Hee's relationship with an older man...her boss i think. This couple is quite funny as well. The flaw started to appear towards the ending of the drama...the plot just kinda went downhill la...something is lacking to push the plot to a higher level. I shall not disclose too much but dont worry...nothing too ridiculous.
Saying about the cast. Go Hyun Jung was awesome! I havent watch her comeback drama "spring days", which gave me the impression that she's only capable in acting sad roles. Ok i am wrong..she can be quite "crazy" too..haha! Her expressions were really cute and expressive. I guess she gotta thank her character as well...she's simply interesting. Didnt watch Chun Jung Myung's previous 2 dramas "Fashion 70s" & "goodbye solo" as well. He's acting was quite impressive, quite "daring" when he try to get closer to Byung Hee. Hahaha...u will know what i mean when u watch la. He's not very handsome or very macho guy, but u will just be addicted to see how he wins Byung Hee's heart with his actions la. The other cast was alright, didnt notice any lousy acting from them. OST was rather average...may be the songs just didnt go into my head la...
Ratings: 9/10 (Kr drama lovers...dont miss it!)

Was playing "Zhong Ji Mi Ma" with the gals and our forfeit was to clear up our food. Basically all of us were aiming at HM and she was really suay lah. Laughters just burst out from us and i think we were super noisy. Paiseh ah! CH's poly friends were at another table celebrating their birthdays and just as i thot we were done with our food, her pal sent a piece of cake over and 5 forks for us! Well, that's a nice gesture, butta that means we got something to clear up again! So we played a few more rounds to clear up the cake...hahaha! "Terrible" lunch. So full and cant stop laughing. Lucky i didnt puke.
Thot that MS's xmas deco was pretty ne, or at least nicer than other shopping malls.
