A little more information.  Only those tropical cyclones (depressions) which
have wind speed over 115.2 km/h (63 knots) can be classified as hurricanes/
typhoons.  Otherwise they are just tropical cyclones/storms.  You may recall
the weather forecast in HK has said something like: "the severe tropical storm
has become a typhoon.

To understand the joke, it maybe helpful to know that "fong"  is  fang3  which 
means release.

So actually the joke is lost through the translation by the author, what a
joke!

A couple days ago just before I came back from Hong Kong, three typoons were

attention of many scientists because the strength of wind is low-- while it

I wonder if those those 3 storms finish playing  hide-and-seek in Hong Kong.

This is the kind of news article that can only be sent from home (HK).
And honestly I quite enjoy reading them.  The pop music postings from
Aulina are also very interesting.  However, here among cornfields we
can't hear what the latest pop songs sound like, unlike those in
Toronto or San Francisco.

Actually I would like to know the popularity of USENET news in HK, 
particularly among tertiary institutions.  It looks like that 
Michael can read soc.college.grad and soc.college.gradinfo as well.
Meanwhile I don't think my undergraduate friends at HKU can read
USENET newsgroups.

So do you guys in HK spend lots of time reading news instead of
doing your programming homework with the computer, just like
we do here? :)

I hope I can get some feedback from the netters in HK.  The other
recent topics in soc.culture.hongkong have been a little boring. :)

Depends on which newsgroup you're talking about.  I read *every*
posts from "For those of you that HATE japaneses" in s.c.hongkong;
but I didn't read *every* post from s.c.japan and s.c.korean as

Thanks to Lin can on point out the typo,  it is
"hing" instead of "ging",  any suggestion on the
"x"es?

Here is the revised songs:
Here is the birthday song:
   gung juk nei fuk sau yu tin chai, 
   hing ho nei saang san faai lok.
   nin nin dou yau gam yat,
   sui sui dou yau gam chiu,
   gung hei nei, gung hei nei.

And here is the portion of the wedding song that I remember ("x" represents the
words that I cannot remember):
   lung fung pui, tin saang yat dui,
   x x x x x x
   leung san mei ging x x x x
   x x x x x x
