諗緊…「皇室」 有冇喺🏇馬場🏇賭一番一場呢？🤭 仲有，睇到杜先生用咗 「父皇、母后、娘親、皇弟」 嚟稱呼大家…心到軟晒喇！可以睇得出，佢對當年呢個製作經驗經歷時期有多麼幾咁有好感，多麼幾咁有珍惜！🥰

《無頭東宮》 (2002) 幾位演員：陳妙瑛，向海嵐，張兆輝，杜大偉，敖嘉年，喺今年 (2023) 嘅 2月舉辦搞咗個聚會喔！真係好開心可以睇到呢班演員重逢！尤其係陳妙瑛！自從佢喺廿幾年前退出娛樂圈之後，想喺網上搵到佢嘅蹤影都相當艱難喔囉！

許冠傑 (Sam Hui) '急流勇退 (Retreat)' - Ray Mak Piano Mix

[samsmusicdump]

This is the debut from one of my most favorite artists ever, my little airport. It was released on August 1st, 2004. My little airport is a duo from Hong Kong and sing in Cantonese and English. The album title is officially 在動物園散步才是正經事, and is translated to 'the ok thing to do on sunday afternoon is to toddle in the zoo'. I used to listen to this album and many others by my little airport when biking in the neighborhood in 2022. I was living in Houston with some family friends and didn't know the area well, so it was always an adventure to be biking around and exploring the neighborhood.

My favorite off this album, even though I love all the songs dearly, is 'Victor, Fly Me to Stafford'. The lyrics depict a girl from Singapore singing to a man named Victor Ching and telling him she misses him as he's on his way to Stafford. I love the use of synths in the chorus that swell. The vocals of Nicole (lead singer of my little airport) are almost haze-y in this song, probably to portray the lust that the narrator of the song feels for Victor Ching.

My second favorite is 'Dee, It May All End Tomorrow'. The piano in the beginning sounds so beautiful. This isn't a heavily produced song, but it's so so so gorgeous. Nicole's vocals mesh with the piano incredibly well, and the melody gives the sense of yearning. The narrator is reminiscing over someone named Dee and thinks about them meeting again someday. It's a pretty short song, but the piano drew me in so much.

There's also 'You Don't Wanna Be My Girlfriend, Phoebe'. I wonder if Nicole herself is supposed to be the narrator of the song, and if so, queer yearning song???? This song is pretty simple but sweet.

'王菲，關於你的眉' ('Faye Wong, About Your Eyebrows' in English) has keys that I really like. From what I translated using Google Translate (not reliable, I know), this is a love song for Faye Wong. I fully support that. Faye Wong deserves one million billion love songs. I was a Faye Wong fan before I got into my little airport so it was fate that I fell in love with a band who also adores Faye Wong. Faye Wong introduced me to the wonderful world of canto-pop and I will forever be grateful.

This album is perfect for spending solo time outside in the summer, just trying to find your peace of mind. It's for when you want to take it one day at a time. My little airport has so many wonderful albums and it's impressive that their debut album is right on par with their other work.
