Music: EDISON CHEN "Please steal my album"

I actually bought this a couple of months ago, but just didn't bother with writing this review. I can't believe I actually bought an album of Edison, but 1) I really liked "Hong Kong" (track 8 ) and 2) One of the album covers was designed by a Canadian artist. In many aspects, this is a la...

2004 Jade Solid Gold 1st half results

So TVB revamped their music awards system after the action taken by ICAC regarding possible bribes for awards. The new format is instead of having 4 quarterly song selections (12 songs each), there will be 2 semi-annual awards (15 songs each). Technically it's a little tougher now but the same old r...

You know the French..trying to be sophisticated and all. That's why they love Wong Kar-Wai's movies.

What cellphones/mobile phones do you guys use?

If you have one, mind telling? Would be helpful if you can provide a link to your phone as well since the same model might have different names in different countries (i.e. Nokia 3310 in Asia is the same as Nokia 3390 in North America).

Just curious as I'm thinking of getting a new phone.

Music: ALEX FONG "Never Walk Again"

I wonder what's worse, a bad album or a boring album? There's lot to complain/write about a bad album, but it's hard to write something about a boring album. This is probably Alex's best album to date but this is also quite a boring album. 8 of the 11 songs are ballads, which all have similar melody...

MAGGIE CHEUNG...voted best actress in Cannes

Maggie Cheung won the best actress award for her role in "Clean" as a junkie trying to straighten out her life and regain custody of her young son after her rock-star boyfriend dies of a drug overdose.

Congrats!

Mikey, maybe that's it. Just like if you just listen to Britney and not know what she's like, you'll find her music just as ordinary.

Congrats to Fiona for getting gold record sales. Such is the state of HK music now...only a handful of albums reach gold sales every year.

Mikey is right. But some singers (like Edison) probably knows enough Chinese already that if people told them what the lyrics were he just has to memorize it. He just doesn't recognize the character but he knows what words it's talking about. I know this may sound corny, but judging from the intervi...

Me? I'm in Hong Kong. That's why I don't get any games. The regular season and the playoffs were only available as a pay per view package.

Well, the Leafs move on, but at the expense of Ottawa.

What now GT? They (Cable TV) decided to put all NHL games as part of the pay per view package so I can't see any of the games, but obviously it was tough for Boston to lose after going up 3-1. Somehow my Flames are still alive.

Ok, I haven't really listened to enough of her songs to comment on her singing...though my initial impression is she's pretty good at it. HOWEVER, the look thing...I just don't think she's THAT pretty, but that's just me :) Good....one less guy to fight with! :) Fiona's not exactly stunning, but no...

Music: FIONA SIT "F Debut"

Every few years, there would be one singer where I'll go absolutely crazy about. Last one was in 1999, when Jolin Tsai made her debut. And I think this time around I've found another one in Fiona. Fiona Sit Hoi Kei is the 2004 "Warner Girl", along with Endy Chow "Warner Boy", the...

Music: JOLIN TSAI "Castle"

It's hard to duplicate success. After her great comeback with the album "Watch my 72 changes" last year, Jolin follows up with the "Castle". It's quite obvious that her producers tried to replicate the magic last time. Even the song names are similar: instead of "72 changes&...

Movie: The Passion of the Christ

Well, I finally saw it (actually at the first chance since it didn't start playing here until 4/1). Like I'm said I'm not religious in anyway so I may not have the strong feelings that others may have. The movie itself was great. Of course no one can dispute what really happened but Mel Gibson did a...
