Good God man, it's almost the 21 century.  Noone should "own" another person.
Not counting the physical differences, man and woman are the same.  All of us
want to be loved.  It is this backward thinking of not letting wife to work needs
to be changed.  Or do you means "we mustn't let our wife to do housework".  :)

In my old U, to compute GPA, first convert grade to letter grade A+(90>), A(85-89),
A-(80-84), B+(?), B(?), B-(?), C(?), C-(?), D(?), E(failed), F(failed), with
respective numerical weight 4.3, 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, ... (can't remember the rest of
the numerials).

So, some actually manage to get over 4.0 in this scale.  How do people manage to do
that is out of my imagination, as they have to consistantly get over 90% in courses.

  I remember many years ago (around the time when Alan sang his 
  insurmountable <Love Trap> on the TVB Solid Gold Annual Award
  Ceremony), TVB Solid Gold is quite respectable. Now, it simply
  degenerated into a routine "horse-racing" program no more than
  a whistle-blowing and screaming contest between different fan 
  groups.

  I think this time, they are still using the same excuse that
  3 songs score the same, right?

  What an "undingable" world.

Hi Peter,
How old is the gril? May be she is too young, or may be she has a boy friend,
or she married. I know some gril wants be your 'friends' but not your gril
friend I don't know why, I think depends on the person, Grils can answer this
question, :)))
Ok Peter, don't think too much about her, it doesn't help, everything has to
be follow the FATE!!! :) I think! :) May be Maybe, some day later she will
come back to you, who knows, right? ;)
This for all guys, Be real! cool! don't live for those gril!!! be yourself!
Just remember there are many grils out there, don't give up all of them
because one of you knew. I think it's easy to say, but hard to do.
I post this message also try to remind myself, :)))) HAAAAAaaa
Life! FATE!!!!!

I don't get it. First you said either the police (criminal) or discipline

For all time best, do you forget Roman(?) Tam <Law Man>? His songs and 
singing is (was) very good and bloody difficult to follow. But I don't like
his life performance (so tape, LP or CD(?) only). Yes, Alan Tam is popular
because his song can be followed by anybody. You can't lost tune with his
songs in Karaoke. Female singer, Yan Lai (the big beast one, is it as big
as Yip Chi Mai?).

Try Erie Lake here, it is cool, it is well polluted, you won't get a second
chance... :)

So, what do you mean afterall. You still want to die young or just want to find a
way to achieve whatever your goal is? :)

Ahhhah, sophomore? I see... don't get frustrated, you still have lots of time to
catch up... it is not the end of the world when comparing being a senior and
suddenly realize what you have missed in your lifelong "education" and ...
well, you guess it :) 

As I say: what to die young? take >30 cr/ semester and you will know. :)
Good luck and study hard!

go talk to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and they have tons of
information you can get about doing business with or in Hong Kong.  They
are a good source to go to.  Refer to the FAQ for their address.
