“It is on Nathan Road……” I say as my mind zooms in and out of Chungking Express – Tony – Takeshi Kaneshiro – Lin Ching-hsia, blonde hair, white heels, on the run from Indian hit men in the maze of Chungking Mansion – “……there are many Indians there……it is Hong Kong, it should be safe.”
Today is Tony Day, when a few Tony-loving friends and I have a birthday party for him (it is his 45th birthday and our third party); my mother and brother are taking a capricious trip à la Faye Wong to Hong Kong in time for a birthday fireworks display (10 of the 50 years under “one country, two systems” have flashed by); it is all quite Chungking Express.
Then……and now.

I don't remember taking that photo? do we look older? I know Tony doesn't...
we went to the arts house to meet ms h, remember? (but she had gone home.)
we look more or less the same, except i look larger. it's true.
You do NOT look larger. All of you look great. Better now than two years ago, I think.
I wasn't there but three days later I chanced upon a whole stash of rare Tony flicks (Cyclo, 地下情，东邪西毒) at the pirated dvd store and immediately bought them for Ms. C. My moment of long-distance communion with you gals I guess.
re photos, you are such a sweetie, oc. the thing i do like about the new photo: there're more of us this year. there's my friend m and there's ju, in a very vintage top. as a party, we are growing.
re dvds, yes, yes, i heard about your buys. excellent. and if you should see Sha Shou Hu Die Meng (My Heart Is That Eternal Rose), that's the other obscure tony film!
All I can say is that, lordy me, I had bigger boobs back then...
Thanks for the dvds Ms O!!!
wah. new decor ah.
yep...is it more readable? font-wise, colour-wise?
