TV analysis: The Little Nyonya Part 3 and a TV commercial

TV analysis: The Little Nyonya Part 3 and a TV commercial


More errors from The Little Nyonya. We all know that there are many impossible and illogical scenes in the drama, now even the song lyrics of the theme song is sang wrongly, somehow

While listening to the theme song last Friday at the beginning of the show just like every other night, I noticed that Olivia Ong made a mistake.To confirm it, I listened to it carefully again last night and I was right. In the sentence 几幅女红将以泪缀点, the words 女红 should be sang as nǚ gōng but Miss Ong sang it as nǚ hóng. If I am not wrong, 女红 means the things which women do like spinning(thread), sewing, embroidering etc. So the sentence translated to English literally means some pieces of cloth sewn are done by tears, where women are resigned to their fate(doing chores)and had to suffer in the past

Very "deep" lyrics indeed, but let's forgive Olivia since she is more of an ang moh pai singer since young

A TV commercial about this popular beer featuring three celebrities has been airing recently and it is normally the first one everytime when a show takes a commercial break

There is the ageing Alan 乌 with his new long and wavy hairstyle, "飞鸥纳" 公主 and the 30+ years old still want to act cute Miss Chia in the advertisement

This commercial is really one of the worst ones I have seen this year. Miss Chia looks greasy and lethargic in it, an obvious sign that she is getting older but still like to act young

"飞鸥纳" 公主 introduced herself as the health ambassador of the beer brand. Oh my, how on earth can drinking beer be related to being healthy? In short, beer is not healthy and has never been healthy till today. If there is a healthy ambassador, why not a money/prosperity/wealth one or anything else?

Alan 乌 has shown us that despite after so many years, his mandarin is still 十年如一日. There is still a tinge of ang moh flavour when he speaks. Many ABCs in the entertainment industry can change their style for the better but Mr 乌 is still his old self until now
