I did it. I went to HMV this morning after the meeting with SSCD to buy Leslie's CDs. I was quite surprised that the collection was mediocre. I had expected HMV to have a relatively good stock of CDs from all artistes. Sad to say, I was utterly disappointed.

Nevertheless, I managed to buy one CD, Printemps, cos the others were really expensive. Furthermore, I was hoping to get this older ones and not the latest ones. I also bought 2 movies that were by him. "Ashes of Time" and "Days of Being Wild", both of which are movies by the famous Wong Kar Wai. I like Wong Kar Wai's movies. I was so happy that I managed to get the second one. I was actually looking for it and it was the LAST copy! I snatched it up and gripped onto it so tightly when I found it!

I also found out from the HMV staff that "Chungking Express" did not pass the censorship here in Singapore so I suppose I will never watch that movie? Happy Together is also banned, I suppose. It would have been a great one because I like both Leslie and Tony.

Been checking the net constantly to get updates on his demise. I performed net searches in vain to reach the HK tabloids. All I could get was the short and sweet reports of his death from ChannelNewsAsia. Even MingPao News (HK paper) had little reports of his death. I think the best one was from The New Paper....trust this tabloid! As I read the reports, I felt so sad again because they confirmed my personal initial speculation that he was very miserable and he had already reached his emotional limits.

This noon, I was also listening to live HK radio and was tuned into the radio station 2 where they devoted entirely to Leslie. They played his songs all through and they also played some old radio interviews that they did with him. It was hard to imagine that the voice I was listening belonged to a man who had already passed away.

Listening to Printemps now. It's good....*sigh* Leslie...
