Wow! Can't believe I stumbled upon your blog?! We went to Quarry Bay together in Hong Kong! And I just posted about it a few days ago. Life's coincidences are funny. How have you been?

To tell the truth, I've been more surprised I haven't been able to track down more of my Quarry Bay friends! You can find me easily on Facebook: "Ng Yi-Sheng". Just add a note about who you are.

I've been well. Am a freelance writer and artist's model; also teaching Creative Writing in a university. Yourself?
