Happy Lunar New Year!

霹靂MIT is surprisingly good. Watch it if you have the time.

Here's wishing everyone health and wealth in 2009!

My Marist Friends

Just met up with Bing Ying, Marc, and Tipin at Tipin's place in the evening. It has been a long while since I last saw them at Anchorpoint late last year. Bing Ying is getting married. Marc and Tipin are happy in their "high-flying" jobs. I am contended. Marc and Tipin treated me to roti prata at Upper Thomson Road.

Speaking of which, where is Jiahao??

Strange......

I was completely ignorant of the fact that I had been nominated for this (and who were the three who had voted for me?!):

各位同学: 研究生会选举结果投票统计如下：邓橙子5票；李叔飞1票；王丹5票；邹婧6票；陈英杰3票 ；马鸣1票；王跃龙1票。祝贺邹婧同学当选，也请邹婧同学尽快组织自己的团队开展工作!

This is even freakier:

陈英杰你好~我是邹婧，马鸣有没有给你讲过邀请你加入研究生会的事情？很希望你能加入我们！不知道你明天早上10点有没有空？彭睿老师想找我们几个成员去他办公室商量一下新年团拜会的事情，如果你看到请尽快联系我!

Those who know me well enough would know that I am not really into such "worldly" pursuits. Coupled with the fact that I don't really mingle with my fellow graduate mates (I mix around more with my UCV and Japanese classmates), it really leaves me to wonder who had nominated me and why. But no. Whatever the case may be, I am not joining any such committee.

Take care, Eunice!

友情满满，情义浓浓。

Sigh

How can Jacky Wu quit showbiz? So depressing.

My favourite Hong Kong songs:

Jacky Wu cannot be replaced though. Sigh.

National Taiwan University

Paul just sent me a link.

I wanna go back there again:

OK set

I have decided. I shall fly over to Taiwan at whatever cost it takes me to watch Jacky Wu's last live recording of the "Guess" show. My first resolution for the year.

Everything went blank before my eyes

I just heard this from my Hong Kong friend BenBen:

Jacky Wu will be retiring in June this year. Hearing this news is a bad start for me. Very soon I will no longer be entertained by his variety shows and songs.

I really feel sad. There goes a talent from the Taiwanese entertainment scene. How many Jacky Wus can we see in our lifetime? Who can make me laugh as much as he does?

Thanks for all the fun and joy that you have brought me, Local King. We had met, shaken hands and taken a photo together, even though you may have forgotten who I am. You will forever be my Local King and idol. I am truly blessed to have enjoyed your entertainment.

Long Live the King.
