I felt sorry about Ma Wing Shing when he failed to let go the
legendary Wah Ying Hung from Dzung Wah Ying Hung and injected him into
"Fung Wan" as Mao Ming, so I won't be surprised this time if he can't
let go Lip Fung and Po King Wan and move on.  By developing Lip Fung
into a demon, Ma had pushed the story into a dead-end.

Besides, there are still lots of leads that he can explore from the
current story line, like Tuen Long.

I guess that's what Ma plans to do, breaking Fung Wan into short
stories of around 10 episodes each.

They are rich businessmen whose main objective is to protect their
benefits from this colony.  They never pay attention to poor
people, welfare.  They want to import cheap labor elsewhere to
lower their business cost.
I support UD more.  They are from various parts of the society

But a high price should reflect in high quality of support. In HK, generally,
support from the big software house are very poor. Sometimes, the shop
you bought the pirating software offer a better support. Also, some software
charge a higher price in HK than US even it is manufactured in SE Asia.

How about:

And perhaps people are less familiar with this one:

Wong Cho Yin can't get above 90/100.

Here comes this week's single chart again.

I read some of the postings concerning the PY I am using. To be frank, I think
those who do not understand my PY should go for a course on Mandarin. It is

Isn't Hacken's Lee's new album the one with that song "Old Happiness like a
dream"? I thin Hacken can sing well, but due to a lot of scandals and his
personal attitudes, he did not do very good in terms of popularity, and soon
lost attentions which the 5 Tin Wongs had got.

Sure Aaron really sounds much better when singing mandarin. Is it just a
misconcept since he started singing mandarin first? Or is it a fact? Or
is it just because his first cantonese album is not as good as expected?

   I think Priscilla Chan should certainly deserve to be a good singer.
   I can still remember she sang 'love of glass window' off tone in a
live concert about 8 years ago. But she had breakthroughs in nearly all
her albums (except the one following 'Dancing Street'). Especially just
before her final concerts, she reached the top. 'Thousand songs', 'night
flight', 'silly girl' ... so many I can't name here.
   I would rank her in the first place simply because I feel she is the
best.
   There should be a lot of Priscilla fans in the net. What do you think
about it?
   Also, her look has improved a lot after studying in USA.

	I know a lot of people in HK hate this guy. They all say he is
	too ugly and should belong to the group of "see once, beat once".
