Wham, Bam, Pacman!

Last Monday, my beloved and I were walking along Nathan Road in Kowloon on our way to having breakfast when a woman handed us a local newspaper. "Why'd you accept that? You don't read Chinese," I said. "At least there's one thing I understand," she said as she flipped to the page with Sudoku. Another woman handed me a newspaper when we reached the next block. This time it was in English and in the Sports page were in very large letters - "Wham, Bam, Pacman!" - and the photos of Manny Pacquiao's face beaming while he wore the championship belt on one shoulder and Ricky Hatton lying flat on his back. "What the - , two rounds?!..." I expected Hatton to give Pacquiao a hard time. A world-class fighter who had only lost once in his career was knocked out in just two rounds. Way to go, Manny.

Our Hong Kong vacation is now over and we're back in Singapore. It's about time I watch the replay.
