I woulda posted this earlier but considering it's a friendly prank and the fact that it's supposed to be a surprise, the element of surprise would be defeated if I had to posted about this earlier. Today is the night of my friend Harry Kwan's wedding. The weeks leading up to the wedding had been rather frustrating as the groom had been quite a nervous wreck and as always, I was the friend he could always vent out on. I guess I'd be proud to say that I am quite immune to his scoldings over the years so I guess I should be allowed to prank him just once. I wrote the guy a fake cheque of one hundred dollars and eighteen cents. Anyone who is Chinese might find it easier to find the meaning of my hidden message as "18" is synonymous with the term 實發 ("sure to get rich"). The hundred bucks is supposed to be represent the term 百戰百勝 ("with a hundred battles comes a hundred victories"). As lame as it is, it's really the thought that counts! I believe I also wrote that this "cheque" is only redeemable through the wife.
Anyway, congrats to the new bride and groom!
(P.S. I really did give the couple an envelope of $100.18)
Well, they're up and ready to post so here it is. Not much details to talk about, really! This morning, I checked Charlie Sheen's twitter page just to see if he has any comments regarding his show in Toronto. Then noticed that he was having a Bipolar Awareness Walk around the area of my workplace around 6pm. So I decided to walk up to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel just to check out the event, hoping to take a good shot of him. Well, unfortunately for me, the weather was pretty windy so it got cold pretty fast. And Charlie didn't come out until 6:45pm. And that is when THIS video happened.
Then out of nowhere, I see him climbing on the top of a van and started waving his hands to the press and his fans. Fans demanded for a speech which he graciously gave. This next video is his full speech that he gave on the top of a van.
I would've done the entire walk to Massey Hall with Charlie Sheen but my mom called me while I was waiting and told me in the last minute that I had to go out with my dad's friends for a dinner gathering. And since I already got what I want, I thought I might as well bounce and head homeward-bound.
(Was gonna upload the pics but it's taking too long! I'll upload it on photobucket instead!)
roflmao~!!!!!! I saw Charlie Sheen today. Uploading the videos to youtube right now so it's going to take a while to post all the details. So here's a couple of teaser photos for now.

Is this girl on crack? A tour bus full of people just got shot (8 of them dead) and here, you're expressing your disappointment over the assumption that all Hong Kong people are dead from this tragic incident? Get serious, lady! Who the fuck do you think you are? Sharon Stone?!
ok...now a more proper intro...
I'm born and raised in Toronto, Canada. I can read Chinese and speak English like a typical CBC which brings me to my advantage in getting my head start into this whole translation business. Yes. I'm a freelance translator and have worked for companies like Joy Sales and Diskotek Media. I went to Stephen Leacock Collegiate Institute and had the same teachers that Hollywood actor Mike Myers got his lessons from. (ok...not really but Mike Myers' teacher Howard Gross sometimes walks in and gives me pointers from time to time. My TV Production teacher was former CITY TV employee and Leacock alumni, Mr. Luke Avison.)
and when i'm in the mood, i drink alot.
i can scratch my balls when i damn well please.
have a nice day!
