hollywood hong kong
A junior high school mate came to my house yesterday, and it looks like she's all loved up with this Cantonese bloke--a romantic 187cm, has a model's figure, wears Prada, owns a sports car, etc. So are Fragrant Harbour males in high demand in the market place? On this island, the stereotypical Cantonese is one who is ahead of fashion, makes awesome soups, belongs to a close-knit family and plays Mahjong 24/7. But hey, I know someone who can only make soup out of Heinz and does not play Mahjong at all, and he's the best ever (level of coolness equivalent to the actors in Infernal Affairs). There's always exceptions to rules, and hopefully we don't go out with people just because he/she is from a certain place--it just happens. Mate also said that she can understand 70% of Cantonese, while the only phrase I have learned is 'gay-lou', meaning 'gay bloke', 'tis very useful you know. Oh, rented Hollywood Hong Kong a few days ago and I love that movie! It's reminds me of The Three Little Piglets and Legends of the Monkey King (Journey to West), except it adds a hooker, loads of flesh, sweat, two chopped off arms and the notion of gluttony and desire.
