Yesterday



"Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Suddenly

I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh, yesterday
Came suddenly ..." - Beatles

This was a song that was played on the radio when my brother cut his finger and cried the loudest I could ever remember. This happens when we were in HK some 25 years ago. There was a lot of blood and he had to stay in hospital for a few days. Although I hadn't visited him, but heard that he was quite popular at the time - other patients were treating him very well and gave him different kinds of fruits. Other memories were quite vague, but I'll never forget this song as I wept the time it was played.

Who Wants To Be A 5th Grader?

One of my favorite pastimes when I was at school was to come home and watch TV. My favorite shows, besides TV sitcoms, are the game shows.

A number of things appeals to me - the fun, the laughter, the participants, the game, the prizes, the humors, and knowledge.

My favorite game show is gotta be Wheel of Fortune. Others that I often watched are The Price is Right, Family Feud, Jeopardy, Hollywood Squares, Who wants to be a Millionaire, Win, Lose or Draw, and lately Deal or no Deal, and Are you smarter than a 5th Grader?

Why I liked Wheel of Fortune? Of course not because of Vanna White, but it's the easiest that I can play and could win big money...8)
