I recommend you to go to a bookstore (I forgot the name) near the Landmark
(in Central).  It is located in the basement, which means you will have
to go down a flight of stairs.  It has quite a collection of text books 
and novels.

Hope that helps.

Sing Dao reported that she abstain on the 3-Gorges Vote.  Actually,
compare to others like Liu Yiu Chu, Lisa is an OK "People's Representative"
for what it's worth.  At least she isn't brushing the CCP as much as the
others do.  She was also the one that raised the question on 6/4 in the
People Congress' meeting after 6/4 saying that "it has hurted the feelings
of HK people".

  Yeah, guys, come Lai Ming is not as bad as the way described. It is
WORSE than that. If singers were devided into different catagories,
one catagory would contain two "singer"--"lisa Wong" adn "Leon Lai." I
guess no one could tell which one of them is batter then the other.

  Some people they may not have good voice, but they are good
musicians. They know composing, arranging, and intrumental
performance. I would say these guys are good. They are not a
good-looking-shallow-jerk. They are creative and have more insight.

  People like Lai Ming is only a commercial product, cheap and lacking
on insight. They cannot be consider as singer. I bet Lai Ming cannot
read music and I guess he cannot distiguish a simple major cord. Some
netter said Lai Ming is better than Kai Ku and ???. I would say this
comparison is similar as comparing birds and people, birds may have good
voice, but birds never know music. Of course this is not a good
metaphor, since Lai Ming doesn't have a good voice.

  Lai Ming is only a ordinary guy, but happens to be the one who is
poped by TVB.

  By the way, Lai Ming has never had his own song. He doesn't know music,
how can he had his own song?

Maybe she should have said, "it shattered the hope of the HK people for their
futures and zipped the confidence the HK people had for the Chinese
government."

If she continues to make the excuse the she is a representative yet she is not
seasoned in politics and is not informed on many issues, maybe she should
simply quit.

Another good place to shop for US testbooks is Caves Bookstore (Dun Wong in

than Man Yuen, at least for EE and CS texts. And certainly Man Yuen and Caves

Dear Kung:
I don't know how to cook.  So I would not fix her a "good" instant noodle
soup.  Rather, I have to pretend that "the stuff" is real good and eat as much
as possible.  Of course, I have to wash all the dishes as well - I find it the
most painful of all.

Most women DON'T like to cook.  But they love to be called a good cook.  So 
they cook and cook and cook.  And the men just eat and eat and eat, praise them
and praise them and praise them, and wash the dishes .......... :(

A man who doesn't know how to "appreciate" the cooking of his girlfriend/wife

	I definitely will not consider Danny Chan as a great singer.
Look at how tremendously Leslie has improved. In their early years
I always make fun of Leslie and Danny being "short of
breath" during live performance. They seemed to be the in the same
class most of you would classfiy Leon Lai into : good quality
singing after ajustment through studio equipment.

	Now I consider Leslie an excellent singer becuase he can sing
slow and fast songs very well, especially fast songs. It`s his style
of preforming that makes him a unique and good singer. But for Danny
Chan, all he has is just a good voice and I couldn't find any more
compliment.

	And also in defense of Sandy Lam, I also think that she is a
really good singer. I think she's better than Sally Yeh, not merely
comparing the standard skill of singing, but the WAY they express and 
perform the songs. You see, this is entertainment business, being a
good singer, you'd have to worry about the all-round performance on
stage plus the willingness to "explore" new concepts and idea to strike
the media. Anita and Sandy both have done it successfully... and I'd
better not eleborate cause I've been talking too much... :-)

If anyone happened to watch the TV program "The  World of Rich and Famous"
last weekend, you should realize that three hotels in HK were ranked
top five in the world (at least from their choice). 

Regent and Mandarin are ranked second and fourth in the top 10 best

Peninsula ranks the third.

I bought one for May 11. It is $490 including Reno - San Francisco. So
you may just take about $50 off from my price. (Airline: Singapore).

BUT the date is very important. June, July, and August are regarded as
HIGH season. I tried to book tickets (round-trip) for my parents
San Francisco - HK. IT IS $870. It is crazy. Does anybody in the net
know where can I get a cheaper price? (Departure Date: June 15).
Yeah, almost forgot: The agents told me that if the departure date
is right before June or after August then the price will drop 
tremendously...

>>So stop complaining and be CONSIDERATE!

Be CONSIDERATE?????  Professional singers get paid for their 
performance, their voice, their talent and some packaging, of course.
When Lai Ming announces to the world that he is a Pro, he better 
lives up to the minimun standard of a professional - do it well
and do it good - this is what professionalism is all about.  
I doubt if he or his record company will be considerate when I 
purchase his CD, so why should I be considerate if he can't even 
get the tone right.

My favourite cooking method is as follows.  Boil the water in a electric
rice cooker, dump the noodle AND the MSG (without the bag, of course) into
the water, and cook for 2 minutes.  Then stir, switch off the rice cooker and
leave it there for 10 minutes.  By the time you return the noodle has
absorbed all the MSG and becomes so delicious that you can never forget...

Any Duke fans out there??
I bet they must be partying right now to celebrate the 
back-to-back NCAA Basketball Championship.  Or, they are not
going to have any classes tomorrow, or everybody gets drunk, or....
Anybody from Duke reading this note?  Do you mind reporting a
bit about what happened on the campus??
