The annual Rugby Sevens madness has hit town, the town where I live and work that is. Hong Kong!
Even though the games are this weekend, the town has already been overrun, painted red, green, yellow, blue, whatever color by rugby fanatics since Thursday or even earlier! Not only that, the fun isn’t just the games but more the marathon, round-the-clock rowdy reveling, partying, drinking and outdoing one another for the most outrageous dress-up and behaviour!
Living within walking distance to the sacred grounds where the games will be held, this will be a weekend of no peace! Yikes!
Hong Kong Rugby Sevens hit town!
Just like our favorite actor Park Sihoo-ssi, who needed some respite after his long drawn drama “My Golden Life”, I too needed some rest and relax, after dogging his every step! He has now made his way to the US of A for some golfing and hiking, far from the maddening crowd.
Me? Early this morning, I did my great escape! Doing something less active than him…just heading for some much needed good company and pampering massage across the border!
Ciao for now Park Sihoo-ssi! You enjoy yourself, just as I will be enjoying myself!
Happy weekend, everyone!
PS:Enjoy the teaser which Park Sihoo-ssi’s rascal cats Jami and Dami shared yesterday of their master recording one of the theme songs of KBS drama “My Golden Life”. “바람이 불어와 When the wind blows” will be what he will sing to those who attend the Park Sihoo KBS “My Golden Life” Commemorative Broadcast events in Japan Shinjuku on 20 April 2018. Be there to listen to his beautiful rendition of it “live”!

橄榄球七人制撞击城
一年一度的橄榄球七人制的疯狂已经袭击了我所居住和工作的城市。香港!
尽管比赛是在这周末,但自从周四甚至更早这城市已经被袭击,橄榄球狂热分子已经把城市涂上一层层的红,绿,黄,蓝,任何可以想到的颜色!看来有趣好玩的不仅是比赛,更多的是全日夜不停的狂欢,饮酒和超越对方的最盛装打扮和作风!
我家位置在举办比赛的神圣场地步行距离内,这周末将会是到处吵闹一片!哎呀!
就像我们最喜欢的演员施厚君一样,在他漫长的电视剧“我黄金光辉的人生”之后需要一些喘息的时间,我也需要休息,放松一下,因为一直追逐他的每一个脚步!现在他已经飞越美国,去打高尔夫球,爬山,徒步旅行等,远离疯狂的人群。
我呢?今天一早,也大逃亡了!去做一些没他那么剧烈的事情……只是去和姐妹们聚聚,做急需的纵容按摩!
暂时说“再见”了,施厚君!你去享受,自己寻乐,我也一样!
大家,周末愉快哦!
PS: 昨天,施厚君的顽皮猫儿扎米Jami和大米Dami分享了一小段主人录制的KBS电视剧“我黄金光辉的人生”的主题曲之一。“风儿吹来时 바람이불어와”是他会在2018年4月20日在日本新宿举办的朴施厚 KBS”我黄金光辉的人生“纪念广播活动现场为到来的观众演唱的。要听他那美丽悦耳的歌声,一定得到现场参加活动哦!

When I 1st heard PSH singing MGL song When the wind blows, all my senses stopped and absolutely captivated by the richness of his voice singing out that melody. I thought this song and his voice matched most perfectly. I like it a lot , a lot. So far the other song that PSH sang that striked me most is the Prosecutor Princess song, what a coincidence, both dramas by the same respectable writer.
What the tittle of that song? Is it for you?
Shin Hye Sun I think you are correct titled For You. I have forgotten already. Not the Fly Sky High song. I only remember melody coz i know not one word of Korean 😊 PSH also sang another song to thank his fans in his hard times , that song I think titled To You, which is also very very impressive song especially when i read the translated lyrics – the deeply felt meaning PSH trying to convey to his fans. Because of To You and For You I just cannot be sure which is which 😊
Nance, you enjoy Shenzen has to offer. It’s my nearly 25 years memory of such weekend’s pursuits of crossing the border between HK and Shenzen and do a good solid day of activities of massage to food to shopping all in one complex. And best still, Shenzen is just one train stop from where I used to live in HK. I could achieve furnishing all new curtains to my new flat in HK in one day by just crossing that border, empty handed, just need some big empty luggage bags and all the measurements needed. Select the fabrics in Shenzen, 3 bedrooms, sitting hall and dining hall curtains all tailored sew up with nice sun block out backing, lugged back and voila, curtains all up the next morning. Such is the magic of Shenzen. Just this week in my new work, a lady who used to live and work in HK we both marvelled at the shopping and things we used to get as well as get done, such as all my curtains all tailored within a day trip. hahaha. Wishing you a fruitful trip. Rugby Sevens in HK is one of the bucket list of my husband’s, the scene you described would have interested him the most, the “rowdy” crowd on the streets. .. the bar….the what not….. I remember every Westerner expatriate in my HK office would be so upbeat come Rugby Sevens.Back in 2003 we went to Melbourne to watch Rugby World Cup final. My hb and his mates played tackle with a group of French fans after the game out on Little Bourke Street, just because the Aussie fans saw the French fans had a ball in their hand. The next morning some broken noses and bruises……
Enjoy your massage Nance and shut your ears for the madness around you! Yes, I like to hear PSH sing this song too. Hope it will be released after April 20, but then how to get it? The preview of this song by him sounds so good, I would love to hear the whole song! Happy weekend everyone! ❤
As Chai Hua, I’m fascinated and love hearing the sound of his voice. Now singing “When the wind blows “, from “My Golden LIfe”. And listening him singing, the words of his songs mean more, his voice infusing them with deeper meaning. As it happens , when hearing “For You”. And we should express our admiration listening his voice, as his voice is sweet to hear. “A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used.[M. Atwood] . And I do appreciate his purpose and perseverance to venture outside his boundaries to enchant us with his pleasant voice. As his voice is such a deep personal reflection of his personality.
To me, his voice is the most unique part of PSH. A person might change in his/her looks but his/her voice is most distinctive that might get a little courser or deeper with age but no any other person will have similar voice as you. For this very reason I adopted my dog’s approach of priority of significance: scent and voice command as my identification of every unique individual. 😊
Stefania, I have more to share about how a person’s voice come deepest most impression to my long term memory. After my initial meeting up my husband, 7 years lapsed in between where we never saw each other, and those were the pre internet days, no photo no phone call, just sparing snail mails plus a few emails here and there when email came into play, til completely lost touch for a few years towards the later years. After 7 years some universe doing we reconnected by snail mail, at that point my memory of him was so vague other than his handwriting that were evident in front of my eyes, when I tried to remember this person, all I can remember vividly was his voice. True enough it was his voice that 1st came familiar at Adelaide airport when we 1st reconnected and met up, after a long 7 years and a long distance in between as well as a whole heap of mutitude waves of things that had washed my memory of the person in front of me. Our memory of touch, gestures, body langauges by the other person, with the passing of time, they could become lighter and lighter til a floating sliver of vague images, however the moment we bring in our memory of that person’s voice, it can instantly puncture the balloon of our image from vague memory but gives it a reality touch, the voice would give a very sharp reality statement of a very brief prior meeting of that person, if that person has spoken one to one with you. Recently I reconnected with some childhold schoolmate, after 46 years, as my classmate said he absolutely has no ability to even imagine how I looked like back then, other than my name itself rings a bell, but as he said, all he can remember was my voice, which of course is not exactly the same 46 years ago, but still it is my voice that gives him that differentiation of identity as me, in his memory.
