OK, so I hadn't heard the first 2 acts perform before, so I had no faith I'd recognize the 3rd one. But apparently Shayne Ward is quite famous... and believe it or not, I found myself recognizing one of his songs. 香港のヘンネーセーイベントの第三名は シェイン・ワードだった。彼の名前知らなかったけど、歌を聞いた時さき知っている。ポープ歌い手けど、とても上手ですと思います。
His first number was extremely 'pop'... basically he had a bunch of da...Read more
I knew it was just a matter of time before they made this into a video...
for those of you who didn't see Matt Damon's commentary about Sarah Palin from Sept 10th, here it is:

I really agree with him on this one (as most of you probably know... ) But I thought his comments were also pretty funny. As you probably could guess, someone decided to put Matt Damon's suggestion onto film:<...Read more
After Until June's set, the next up was Joanna Wang (王若琳). I really didn't know that much about her, except that Elena was excited to see her perform. I haven't heard her music before but I knew she was from Taiwan. 次はジョアンナワンは演じた。この前あまり知らなかったけど、上手な歌い手と聞きました。僕の写真とビデオを見て下さい!
Here's a few pics:
Hey guys, just got back from Shanghai this evening. I got a ton of pics from Andrew's event on Friday night, but it'll have to wait... in the meanwhile, here's some pics from last Tuesday night's Hennessy Artistry event, which as you may have heard, occurred in the middle of HK being battered by a Typhoon.

another case of random fun on a Friday night. This was two and a half weeks back at Prive.
The NBA was coming through HK on another one of their asian publicity tours. Between Yao Ming and the Olympics, US Basketball is HUGE in China. In this case they were bringing the NBA trophy, one relatively well known player Jason Kapono from the Toronto Raptors and a group of the Chicago Bull Cheerleaders (their official name is ' Read more
Over the summer i mentioned that we had been doing an inordinate number of birthday events at karaoke rooms... its happened again lately! Actually in HK it makes a lot of sense, there's not a lot of places where 10+ friends can gather in one place and have much privacy. Restaurants are too crowded, few people here have large enough houses for a large get together, especially not if they don't want to piss off their neighbors...
Here are a few pics from the last two, you may recognize some people.

I can't believe its been almost a year since we last went to Ray's house in Shek O. Its a bit far south for me, but since two Sundays ago was a special occasion, I made the effort. ;-)
We got there too late for swimming this year, but still nice to enjoy the cool seaside air and hang w/ friends and enjoy some hotpot.
As you may know by now, HK is getting ANOTHER big typhoon... i think this is the 3rd one since the beginning of August!
They advised people to leave work early today because they were raising the weather warning to 'T8' around 6pm, but Shan, Terence and I had to go to a Hennessy Event in Wanchai. I left around 11:30 to find no buses were running. It was quite windy, but suprisingly no rain at that time.
So I took the MTR back to TST and tried to find a taxi. One that stopped said ' there is an $80 extra charge...Read more
As you probably know by now, last night we went to Hamasaki Ayumi's concert at the Asia World Expo Center near the Hong Kong Airport.
Of course it was totally fun. It was nice to go with a big group of friends this time, including my friend Asami, who is a long time Ayu fan, was there, so our group was more animated than previous Ayu concerts. ;-)
The concert program was largely the same as the Japan portion of the 2008 tour ( Read more
In case I haven't said this enough recently:
Race Wong, I love you!
Before you take this the wrong way, its NOT the romantic kind of love...
in fact its something much more special!
its that special kind of love where one friend gets another friend tickets to see Hamasaki Ayumi in concert!
