25th March, election

Rugby Seven's weekend. however the election completely overshineed the game. this is the one thing that everyone was talking about, devoting time and themselves into.

Never regarded people in Hong Kong care about politics so much however this time they have surprisingly changed my view. not in a good way, not in a bad way.

689 votes. CY won, which wasn't a surprise given how things are going. Ho was actually the only lucky one that doesn't bear much pressure from this nasty game as he knew from the beginning that there would be nothing in for him. However the plot has been drastically sliding towards Tang and Leung during the past a few months, being scheming, being nasty, being competitive. no wonder people say that "Idle of March" wasn't that exciting, given you have so much more fun watching the HK election.

Henry and CY, both victims of two things, the power play of Beijing, and the unstable shallow minded Hong Kongers that doesn't base their view on the actual performance of the two but rather swings drastically as per rumors come.

Henry the poor guy, he was tearing up doing that speech. Typical Henry Tang, not so capable, not political enough. I think the only reason he was crying was to blame himself handling issue in such a immature and not politically correct way, even though he was pushed to the top by Beijing in the beginning. HE had it, not because of himself, but because of Beijing and the Business elites in Hong Kong. He had it, not because of his capability, but because he's such a Muppet that everyone sees to be able to easily influence and manipulate him.  However, eventually he was just not there enough, to run fast and win the game.

CY, even though his supporting is decreasing day by day, mostly because the locals think he's "too deep", "might have agenda", "undercover communist" all those things. However the fluctuation of this supporters  seem never had a firm ground, not based on his own past performance or his capability, but based on talks of media, other parties, gossip. He's typical a victim of the "anti-Beijing sentiments" of Hong Kongers. News of Beijing's support to himself has done the reverse for him and its really not his fault. very unfortunate, he has won a difficult game.

But being in Hong Kong, whoever won the game, would be scolded by the Hong Kong people. not because of anything, just because he was the winner.

My Week with Marilyn

"She should use more mascara. When one is young, one should use a lot of mascara. When one is old, they should use much more"

Sunday early morning. watched "My week with Marilyn". smooth. nothing impactful . a movie that i wanted to watch for a while. didn't expect being so calm after watching it. nothing too emotional. like a glass of milk.

"i thought i would be young again working with Marilyn, instead i feel dead just like ashes".
