Drama. As always.

Wednesday 30 August 2006

If you think my life is full of drama, wait till you hear about my dreams…
Last night, I dreamt that I was going steady with a Heavenly Queen of Chinese Pop (who shall remain anonymous). Paparazzi sneaked up on us. Soon, my pictures were all over the papers across Asia!
Woah!
The funniest thing isn’t this really. [...]

Final week of voting.

Monday 28 August 2006

All right, it’s the final week of voting. After remaining relatively dignified for the last three weeks, it’s time for me to be shameless with a capital S.
Time is running out, people!
Really, this is the time of the year I feel so loved. Winning an award is never a solo achievement. Because of the people [...]

I got a Double Cheeseburger instead.

I peered into the paper bag, searching for a straw to poke into my [...]

Saturday 26 August 2006

While I was accompanying Arthover on a hunt for a shirt to an important dinner, Justin was queuing at Tangs, where Kit Chan was scheduled to do a roadshow for Forbidden City.

Justin:

Kit:

Apparently, [...]
