Hi Chinaman,

I am currently practising this mantra 准提神咒. I am practising the Chinese version. Buddhist friends said that the Guanyin in Waterloo Street is 准提菩萨. I think so too

For those who like Sarah Mclachlan, I just had a listen to her latest studio album "Laws of Illusion", and it's great! Her first studio album of original material in 7 years.

Reminder that we are getting old too...

Billy Joel recovering from double hip replacement

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Singer Billy Joel is recovering from a double hip replacement, his publicist said on Thursday.

"Billy Joel is doing extremely well following bilateral hip replacement and will be back at his Long Island (New York) home by the end of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend," Joel's publicist Claire Mercuri said in a statement.

Grammy Award-winner Joel, 61, is the singer of hit songs "Piano Man," "My Life," and "Just the Way You Are," among others, and has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.

He released "Billy Joel: The Hits" last week to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his first solo album.

Great song by Sarah!

Upcoming: I'd be attending Abba Concert in HK on 10-Dec!

During the Germany trip, we went to River Phine, and there were good beer gardens with alfesco spaces by the river bank.

The vocalist crooned many old hits, such as Hello (Lionel Richie), Another Day in Paradise (Phil Collins) ...

I took a short video clip for memories sake.

You can catch Susan Boyle on CNN now.

Her album, "the Gift", is number 1 in the UK and the US.

The last time an album was number 1 on both sides were by The Beatles.

Looks like there's a lot of "uplifting" songs on the CD. I will probably get one

Just watched "Talk Asia" on CNN.

It was an interview with "Usher".

I have heard his songs before but i'm not really crazy about them. ( Nowadays, I'm not really crazy about anything but that's another discussion ).

Anyway, he came across as a very decent person. Quite intelligent. Quite compassionate. Very different from the person potrayed in his music videos ..

I used to like this song very much:

"One Night in Bangkok"
