Beautiful Love Song

December 31, 2007 / Dance and Music

I’ve never really been a big fan of the contemporary Chinese music scene. Most of it is trash – overly ‘inspired’ from Korean and Western music or overly sappy love songs. Stuff I really don’t need in my life. But I came across Khalil Fong yesterday. He’s something like Hong Kong’s answer to the Taiwanese Jay…



New Theme (Still in Beta)

December 29, 2007 / Site Updates

Welcome to Nanyate Edition: Bling. Nanyate’s first official theme. Seeing that I’m usually too busy to update, this theme may last for a while.

December 23, 2007 / Daily Life

Yet now in 5 months time, I will be exit this world of over-protection for the world where adults live, thrive, dive. It’s scary but I’m…



Dawn of A New Era

December 13, 2007 / Site Updates

Nanyate just got new hosting! It’s now hosted at TopHostingCenter. I paid a one-time fee of 95$ for a free domain, 3TB monthly transfer and 250GB of space. Since this is a legit company (I checked the whois/ssl cert), I doubt this is a scam. (Besides, I live a couple hours away from Montreal, if…
