This is definitely oldie but I just don't think it's goodie. The album title oddly mirrors what I feel when I see this CD on the shelf, it's like wow that's seems like ages ago and who the heck actually listens to this now or even when it first came out? I think the library uses random access to store and retrieve any Chinese media. So to find something in particular is almost impossible, you need some luck, lots of it.
The greatest discovery of the day is I see two machines that handle media other than books, i.e. DVD or CD. You put the media on the a conveyor belt one at a time, the machine acknowledges receipt of the return and when you are done, the machine prints you a receipt. So there is no more staff forgetting to scan your returns, at least for media material.
I like the new look of your blog, man.
ReplyDeleteLike the invariable ending to each episode of an ATV's programme about overseas Chinese, the main character stares into the sky or distance while the voice over says he or she longs to go back to China or Hong Kong, which is part of China, one day. My old school chum, Prof Yan, who teaches at UBC said he'd like to retire in Hong Kong. Once he's down with severe flu. He said he wanted to speak in his mother tongue very much when he's ill. He therefore hypothesized that when he gets old he would also love to communicate in Cantonese as well. The 遊子 mentality is kinda stereotypic of Chinese immigrants.
I once thought she's very pretty when she was young. She's married to one of the Grasshoppers, I think. Lucky bastard.
any cantonese songs from Wan Kong?
ReplyDeleteSid,
ReplyDeleteYou got great eyesight or face/name correlation. At first, I had trouble reading the 慧 in her name of 刘小慧.
