With regards to my posting, here is a reply from a person who chose to
remain anonymous:
------------------
I guess we agree that the best scenario is if both people are deeply in
love with each other. There is no arguement there.

Perhaps I just have this idealistic/romantic concept of marriage, that is
a wo/man should find the one that s/he truely loves and in loves with. ButI can see your point. It is more practical and perhaps circumstances make
the ideal case unlikely in ones life time. But I still have a problem
with it. Suppose I have fallen deeply in love with a woman but she likes
me as a friend, lets say her best friend, but has no romantic inclination
whatsoever. Then one day she wakes up and decides that its time for her
to get marry but found that the only one around is me. But knowing
how she feels, would I be overjoyed in this development? I don't know...
Yes, she can learn to love me but I will have this doubt in my mind whether
she marries me out of sympathy or out of love. I will also have doubts
whenever someone who I know appeals more to her (physically, intellectually
,
etc) appears in her life. Would this not create any problem, real or
otherwise, in the relationship? May be this is simply a lack of confident
in my character, I don't know. Just some random thougths.

Let's find something to talk about, babes. (From a song)

I have friends which have these interesting combinations:

Hey Girls,

   It is time for us to say something after reading those stupid and narrowed
mind guys' junk news.

   Why we are always taken as an object by the guys?  We have our right too.
Listen guys!  We are not as passive as our mothers .  If you think you
can control your wives or just as her to do favour for you with no return or
reward, forget it.

  Love is two ways. Give and take.  Chinese husbands are the most terrible one.
They are very selfish.  Most of them think their jobs in the family is only
to bring money home.  Nothing else!  They don't care about their wives feeling
 or their needs.

  If you think you can hind something behind your wife's back, you are wrong.
Even the most stupid wife will notice what you have been up to.

  Guys start building up a right attitude to treat female. Otherwise you will be

I don't know if it is feasible (to some, or desirable, to others) to think
that a 90's man can maintain all these relationships with different women.
However, with that being said, there is some truth to the saying that
"A man wants every women to satisfy his one need, and a woman wants
one man to satisfy her every need."  (Well, the first part anyway :-)

Remember in "When Harry Met Sally," when Billy Crystal says something to
the effect that men wants to have sex with every female he encounter, good
looking or not?

Well... I don't know about that.  I could be utterly stupid, but I
don't have anything remotely close to that... <blush>  :)

Just curious, have you visited other schools besides your Alma Mater?
I know a lot of schools won't accept more than 3 Pass/Fails and won't 
let you drop your classes in the middle of the term...

(This is not meant to be a flame.  I am just curious as in why you would
 say that.  I know you worked very hard at school, George (from talking
 to you a while ago), but I am not sure if 3.5 is really that easily
 attainable).

Really ???? hmmmm .... are you sure they "prefer" caucsians or it just happens
that they married to caucasians?  And can I interpret your statement as
some "white" females "prefer" Chinese guys because "white" husbands are not
good enough and likewise "white" male? 

Of course, what do I know about marriage. I am still single at this old age.

*** As an engineering student in CUHK, I have never dreamed that my GPA
can above 3.5. I find it even vary difficult to reach 3.0 (maybe I am
not smart enough :( ). But there is still a few of us can get a 3.xx.
As far as I know, there are  just 3 or 4 of us can get 3.5 or above
(within 180 students in 2nd year, ie last term).

Is she trying to avoid me or does she really have a class to go to?

Starting 2nd quarter (season) 1992, TVB announced that there will be 12 songs
per quarter in order to "accomodate more singers", so 12 songs is official now.

The results this time is OK, compared to others.  (At least only one song per
album got the award)  (Lai Ming's 2 songs are from 2 different albums -
"I will be as silly as you are" is from the same album as "Hope we are not
just friends"; "My dear" is a new song from a best colletion album".)

I do wonder what they will do to the final (year-end) awards.  One thing for
sure is I do not want to see Andy Lau and Sally Yeh to be the best male and
female singer this year.  Give those to someone else.

By the way, can those of you in Hong Kong who has a chance to watch the 
concert of Lai Ming tell us what the concert is like?

Finally thanks to Aulina for keeping us update.

     I wish to sing as well as Jacky Cheung, dance as well as Aaron Kwok,
     be as muscular as Andy Lau, be as tall and good-looking as Leon Lai and
     be as young as Jimmy Lin - but unfortunately I am far from any of
the above
