Hacken Lee & Joey Yung - It's A Small World


想過早晚會會合 不過此際變事實
都會驚慌失措 似行刑受罰

Thought about meeting you day and night
But when it becomes reality, I will still panic and be scared
Like I am receiving an execution




Hacken Lee and Joey Yung's MV for their duet, "It's A Small World" (世界真細小). The song and MV poignantly conveys all the complicated feelings of when two former lovers re-encounter each other. Sometimes no matter how much you thought about it, or even rehearsed it in your mind, that moment when you see that person again, you still don't know how to react.

Ghost of Relativity Theme Song

The theme song for Ghost of Relativity is "Daylight" (天光), by C AllStar.




The Ultimate Addiction Deleted Scene

Fairchild TV is currently airing The Ultimate Addiction and I noticed one scene that was not shown in TVB's original broadcast. This scene occurs in episode 27 after Ginnie (Gloria Tang) falls into the ocean.



The extra scene might offer an explanation of why Ginnie can die so quickly after falling into the water since she doesn't have the desire to live. (It's a dumb way to kill her off...)

Wong Cho Lam and Leanne Li @ Toronto

Wong Cho Lam and Leanne Li were in Toronto for their <老表你信主未? 音樂生命分享會> tour. I was able to see them on two consecutive nights.

On the first night, I was seated quite far from the stage, so I didn't get that many good pictures.


On the second night, I had a much better vantage point.


The songs they sang (from both nights):


Cho Lam singing Eason Chan's "浮誇" (Exaggerated).

Cho Lam singing the gospel song "耶和華是我牧者" (Jehovah is My Shepherd).

Cho Lam and Leanne's duet of a Mandarin song.

Leanne sings "最重要的決定" (Most Important Decision).

They share the stage as Cho Lam performs "主.婚.人" (Lord, Marriage, Man).


Come Home Love 2 Theme Song

The theme song for the new Come Home Love is called "Walk With Love" (愛同行) performed by Fred Cheng.

Overview - Ghost of Relativity




Newly hired by an architecture firm, Kristal Tin makes a mistake that causes architect Moses Chan to lose an international award. She is promptly fired by the administrative manager, Nancy Wu. Thereafter, she gets caught in a series of bizarre incidents. An electrical leak from her knock-off cellphone accidentally kills Nancy. But Nancy's soul remains inside the phone and only Kristal is able to see her. Nancy, who has a crush on Moses, returns to the firm through Kristal. She helps Kristal rise rapidly within the firm and they develop a mutually dependant bond. Nancy discovers a conspiracy between the general manager, Eddie Kwan, and board member Vivien Yeo. Luckily, with the help of hacker Ram Chiang, they can temporarily deal with the devious characters at the office. As Kristal exhibits shades of Nancy, Moses slowly develops feelings for her, which make Nancy jealous. However, her existence is closely related to the phone. Once the phone's battery dies, she will disappear and everything that Kristal has will also be lost...
