  Nic called me last night complaining about how his injured finger is preventing him from fully enjoying Monster Hunter Freedom 2.  Being the loyal, good-looking, and extremely humble friend that I am, I woke up at the break of noon and took him to my elder kung-fu brother’s (who just so happens to be my father’s Choy Lay Fut teacher’s grandson, who himself was a Hong Kong action star of the 80s and 90s) bone-setting clinic in Shum Shui Po.

   

  I’ve witnessed Nic performing dangerous stunts over and over again on the set without a single complaint, so what happened at the clinic was surprising and embarrassing at the exact same time. 

   

   

  I’ve never seen a grown man cry and whimper like that before. However, as soon as I whipped out my camera, his tears of weakness instantly disappeared from his cheeks.

   

   

  He immediately went into his “tough-guy-act” without knowing that I can superimpose speech and thought bubbles onto any photograph with ease using photoshop.

   

   

  Notice Nic continuing to hold in his tears while I hold in my laughter.
