My sister and her colleagues cancelled their Taiwan holiday plans. They were supposed to have gone the friday b4 last but they decided to ax it. My writing assignment in Cambodia was also postponed indefinitely cos Mekong Airlines suspended all flights between Phnom Penh and Singapore.

In 1995, My Hong Kong colleague Sylvian Fung brought me to several locations where they shot Wong's films. We first met in Taipei during a regional meeting. Both of us click well sharing same frequency in movies and music. I left the company and later he did too. We lost touch for a while. Eventually we did meet up a year or two later. That was the last time I saw him. As I flip the papers and watch the news this past few weeks, I hope Sylvian is ok. Well and fine. I wish the same for my other ex colleagues/ friends in Hong Kong too.

After Noel left Suchness to pursue his studies overseas, he came out with a batch of songs that to say the least are 'damn best'. Edna was one of the first that he wrote and became my favorite. Recently he bought a guitar. I'm sure he's gonna write more.
