Obituary

The unapologetically flamboyant and deliciously kitschy Chau Kai-Bong passed away.  Other people might have his wealth but none can match his unique sense of aesthetics.  His larger than life persona together with his golden toilet bowl shall leave an indelible mark in Hong Kong and the rest of the world.  He shall be fondly remembered as a true fashionista long before fashion is fashionable.  He was 75 years old.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
