Tragedy...

All of Hong Kong's hearts are filled with heartbreaking pain, sadness, frustration, regret, helplessness...

Nothing can be done to reverse the damage, but let us be calmed by music for the soul.

康泰旅遊巴在菲律賓被挾持事件,中國外交部證實,事件中七名港死亡、兩人受重傷、六人留院。特首曾蔭權譴責兇徒冷血的行為,並向菲律賓發出黑色外遊警示。他同時宣布,政府機關將於明天(24日)下半旗,主要官員取消不必要的公開活動,以示哀悼。挾持事件至晚上出現重大突破,大批持槍特警包圍並一度攻入車廂,又用鐵鎚打爛巴士玻璃,企圖拯救人質。最後,槍手被擊斃...

Danny Boy

One of my favourite songs. I heard a men's choir version today which touched my heart so much. I can't upload it on here and yet I haven't found a satisfying men's choir version on youtube. So here is a choral version which will do for now. I will keep looking for that perfect men's choir version.

L'adieu

2 weeks in Hungary. It was like a dream- playing piano by day, drinking dessert wine by night under Venus and shooting stars, with fresh air and away from anything that defined Hong Kong. I didn't see a starbucks, mcdonalds, gucci or ferragamo shop for 2 weeks. I was away from the consumerism, just surrounded by good friends, intense conversations and delicious food and scenery.

It was very hard to say goodbye, and I will attach here Waltz- 'L'adieu' by Chopin which was a piece played by a dear friend of mine, performed in the video by the great Rubinstein to express our sad sentiments to leave each other after our blissful and beautiful days together.
