Yeah.  When I met Deanna, I got into the same class she's in (Physics III)
although I didn't have to take it.  We stayed together three years after
that.  By the way, I got a C in that class.  Figure why?  :-)

>By the way, I like both actors very much.

In my opinion, Chow Yun Fat has created his own unique acting style.  I am
sure when he was first introduced, his way of acting was new too.  Just 
because we are used to his way of acting, we can't deny the fact that his
way of acting was new.  In fact, every actor/actress should have his/her
own unique acting style that no one else can imitate.

I like Chow Sing Chi's movies because they can make me laugh, but that's 
all he can do.  On the other hand, Chow Yun Fat can make me laugh, cry, 
tense, etc.  He uses his facial expressions, tone of voice, and body 
movements appropriately.  He doesn't over-act or under-act.  Sometimes 
when the plot isn't interesting, he can still make the movie enjoyable.
The thing I like the most about him is that he can show mixed emotions, 
his eyes really talk.   That's how I evaluate a good performer.

Best Actor: Chow Yun Fat
Best Actress: Dodo Cheng, Anita Mui
Most Handsome Man: Chow Yun Fat
Most Beautiful Woman: Chao A Chi (Female lead in Shanghai Beach)

Other actors I like: Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Marn Chee Leung, Chow Sing Chi.
This gives my top 5 actors.

Ok, here goes.
First, I know how you feel (generally) because something similar happened
to me way back when (Hi, Lisa, though I know you're not reading this).  And
plus, I've just recently joined this newsgroup because of a new interest in
HK (got to thank my cs60a group partner Bernice for this).  But anyway, back
to the point.  I liked Lisa deeply, for five years (after she switched high 
schools), and pretty much got the same "reply" when she realized how I felt.
So, yes, the pain is there, and writing definitely helps (catharsis?) but,
I finally realized (end of last year, in fact) that there are others besides
that one "goddess" (yes, she was pretty and smart and Chinese (tough to find
down in my side of L.A.)) but, you can't just be pinned down by this one
person (my friends tried to tell me that, but when in the "abyss", it's hard
to listen sometimes).  So, this semester, I decided to forget her, and just
let things go wherever they do, and it has worked pretty well.
But the main thing is to not feel dejected by it (I know I did for three 
years, and never got anywhere (doesn't help, only hurts) and keep your eyes
open.  Perhaps, in some other class, sitting not more than a few desks away,
will be someone waiting for you, and appreciate your feelings toward her.
(hmmm, this seems a little sappy, but what the heck, I'll post it)

  I would agree with the second umpire / view.

  Our physical world is just "there". i.e. "ball" or "strike" 
  is already having its underlying truth value as the ball is 
  flying towards the striker. True if within the strike area 
  of X times Y. Otherwise false. That's it.  It's truth value 
  has nothing to do with its observer. So the second umpire
  is quite a humble observer of our real game (assume he tell
  us the truth).

  The third one is obviously wrong. One creates something doesn't
  imply he has the right to interpret it. In our case, he is 
  quite ignorant and snobbish.

  The first one, hmm ... I just remember I learned a "Uncertainty
  Principle" in secondary school which state that you can never
  make 100% correct measurement (correct me if wrong). So this 
  view is not valid if we believe in this principle.

>If u were a baseball player, which umpire would you most prefer to have
>referee your game?

  Anyone but the third one. This kind of view make me think of
  some subborn referee/umpire who insists on their judgement
  by exercising their so-called "authority".

  Here ends my "brick", any "jade" out there?

  Cheers,
  leo.

      I doubt about it !!!
      I agree that China export a lot of stuff. However, we should take
      into account that many countries such as the US give favor status
      to her. If there is no MFN, less people will invest in Southern China
      and the amount of export will decrease. The MFN actually has stimualted

	I'm not speculating on it ending but according the the issue before the
last, there will ba changes to the characters and the story will take the form
of short stories much like that of "Knife, sword, laught" (Not a very good
translation but you know what I mean).

	I'll be disappointed in this change if it happens.  I think it would be
better to start a whole new story with new characters and have nothing to do
with "Wind, Cloud"

	I also hope that there will be continuous improvement of the drawings,
one being having background in every box instead of just the normal blue, red
background.

I've sort of finished the FAQ extension for the next release. The extension
is mainly for VMS users on i) how to obtain pictures from picture newsgroups

The FAQ extension is now available on request. Please send me a mail if you

The FAQ may be altered further. It'll be posted next month with other FAQ
