Lemme help you with that. In her current album, I believe her 
breakthrogh song is 'Gwai loi ba'. This song really shows off her vocal
range. And the emotion she puts forth is incredible.

In the album before('wing yuen si nei dik pang yau'), one of my favorites
was the last song : 'ying goi bat ying goi'...Funny thing I 've never

Hey, mail this to the International Lonely Hearts Club! :)
But, just so I say something meaningful in this post, I don't think
you can really know.  Just pick one point of view, go with it for
a while, see what happens.  If everything turns out ok, try the other
point of view and go with that.  Which ever point of view works better,
well, there's your answer.
I've found out one thing though: Don't spend too much time thinking/
brooding over the subject, being inactive.  Go do stuff with her, etc.
and let your feelings find you instead of try ever so hard to find your
feelings.  How's this for something I heard in Church the other day:
	"I went to buy [something at some store] and said to 
	the clerk, 'I'm looking for something, but I'm not sure
	if it exists.'  
	The clerk answers, 'Aren't we all?'"
So, don't go about looking for something that might or might not exist,
just go with the flow, and when that something does exists, you'll probably
be the first (or second) one to know (but I'm sure you'll know when the
time comes).  Hope that helps.  (now, to see if I can find that ILHC sig)

Yes, pirate BBS in the U.S have a large users base.  However, they are
purely member-only.  If you want to join, you got to have a friend that
is a member of that BBS. The situation is a closed circle.
So far I havn't seen any computer shops provide software duplication
services as open as those in HK.

Ahuh, if copyright law for software is not complete enough there won't be
any raid.  Comparing HK with Singapore and Taiwan, HK has to be the most serious
country against copyright infringement.

Relief! After sales services from vendors suck all over the world.
For an example, if I purchase  MSWORD from Micro$oft in Australia,
I'll be given a tel no. for techinical support.  Let's forget about
the problems of getting through the lines, finding the right person,
getting the right answer or even waiting for reply etc...
If the number is interstate one, it is going cost you $.
Now they introduce a membership only service for annual fee such and such,
you'll have access to toll-fee call and some bullshit discount.
Now that you are paying for the service which is suppose to be fee in the
first place.

All religions root from the same point and serve to bring us to that same 
point. But human's interpretation of religions has always lead to unwanted
events, such as religious wars .... And thus deviate far far away from that
point where we should end up at...

Anyway, in my previous posting, what I was sayin' is that
that those people whom I refered to, "switch" religion just because of
relationships, not because of miracles of some sort. There was even a case of 
someone, a Christian... became a Buddhist because partner is a Buddhist, then
when they broke off, became a Christian again because new partner is a
Christian.

  Nissan Skyline GTR beats all of the above. (including twin-turbo RX7)
  Believe me, no one drive a Ferrari like Don Johnson in Miami Vice. There
  was a scene when he engage in a gun fight and he took the White Tesserosa
  as cover. "No scratch!?!" he said.  In Australia, customed V8 Ford and
  Holden Commordore are hot here.  The Cosworth Sierra used to top the 
  race track until the Skyline GTR come along.  The SSS group A Holden
  Comordore 5 litre V8 is very macho and can top 100km/hr in 5 seconds consider
  its bulk and weight. I think the only Porche that has a standing start
  of 5 seconds is the 928s. (Forget the 959, seldom see them anywhere,
  quite a few replica around though)

  Although I havn't driven a V8 Commordore before, the 3.8 litre V6 stock
  Commordore is very quiet and swifty. You still can't hear the engine
  whisper at 120km/hr (top legal speed) and the engine merely running 
  at 2500rpm.  Unlike other V8 that used on street cars that really roar
  on the street, these Holden engine is pretty quiet.  For a stock car,
  you get around 170kilowatts which is around 238 horse power.  The one
  customed for the race track will have 450+ horse power on tap.
  The local made Nissan Pulsar also bear a two litre engine (small hatch).
  It's a powerful little car with around 120 to 150 kilowatts power. It can
  easily beat a Honder CRX and Prelude.  Don't understand why Honder build
  cars with such wimpy engine and charge a fortune. The NSX is the only
  car made by Honder that can consider as "sport" car (in my opinion).

Taiwan like Japan, like US - NOT!!  Whenever a colonial master governs a  
colony, the colony pays for it!  The West has colonised the East long  
enough.  Some of us have paid more for the price while others paid less.

All this talk about how her looks are outdated are baloney.

I've tried is a old 911 and everything is heavy on that car.  Its fast Ok.
I've a 240SX (for those in HK its the 200SX without the turbo but with bigger 
engine) and its electronic limited to 107 or 109mph.
