If you are a fan of Hong Kong dramas or movies, you would most probably have heard of Return Of The Cuckoo 《十月初五的月光》, otherwise known as 澳门街。

Fun fact： This movie is literally named after the street in Macau, ‘The Moonlight at the 5th of October’.

It is a 20 episode drama series that features well-loved stars like Julian Cheung Chi-lam 张智霖 , Charmaine Sheh 佘诗曼, Nancy Sit 薛家燕, and was a great hit for TVB when it was aired back in 2000. Oh gosh. I was only 4 years old then. Haha.



Anyway… 

15 years have past since then. Today, proudly presenting to you, the MOVIE, Return Of The Cuckoo 《十月初五的月光》,which is a continuous story aka adaptation of the drama series ！




Return Of The Cuckoo's Movie Synopsis



 On the day of Macau’s handover in 1999, Man-Cho (Chi Lam Cheung), Kiki (Joe Chen) and their neighbors were celebrating Aunty Q‘s birthday (Nancy Sit). Kwan-Ho migrated to the US for some years and she made a surprise appearance at the birthday party. Despite the jovial ambience, Man-Cho noticed that Kwan-ho is strangely quiet and seems troubled. At the same night, Man-Cho receives news that Lai-Sun has died in a car accident, Man-Cho was worried and followed Kwan-ho to the hotel, he eventually saves her from her suicide attempt. After Kwan-ho got discharged from hospital, she is still sad and often deep in thoughts. Man-Cho, Aunty Q and Kiki tried their best to cheer Kwan–ho up by showering her with care and concern. Through the years, Man-Cho, Kwan-Ho, Kam-Sing and Aunty Q have experienced the joys and sorrows of life. While things seem to be going fine, bad news strikes: Man-Cho learns that he has cancer and has less than half a year to live…

AWW. Man-Cho bungee jumped off the Macau Tower with Kwan-Ho despite being afraid.


Mind you, it's the HIGHEST bungee jump in the world, at 233m!


“初哥哥，我睡不着。你可不可以背我睡？” 


Here are some pictures from that day. After work, hurriedly changed from filming-crew-type-of-sloppy-and-sweaty-clothes, did some make up and then cabbed down so as to catch a closer glimpse of the main leads, Julien and Charmaine. Sadly, the place was already so crowded when we reached.

p/s: Pardon for the low resolution photos. Didn't have my DSLR with me that day.

GALA PREMIERE @ SINGAPORE Resort World Sentosa !



 
Yay, it's movie time! 

The main leads on stage! 


BFF  Zelene and I .
All in all, the movie was awesome and I wouldn’t mind watching it again.


Movie rating: 4.5/5 
(Honestly, I have never watched the drama series so I didn’t know what to expect prior to the Gala Premiere. However, the movie’s storyline is uncomplicated so I could understand it easily. It’s a really touching story that leaves people tearing. So do remember to prepare some tissues for yourself before heading to the cinemas to catch it! )
