Happy New Year!

the 9th of february just past was a strange coincidence of three somewhat special events -the first day of chinese new year, ash wednesday and also the day this wolf was born 23 years ago.

tonight, while laughter and song fills the air, i just wanna take this time out to remember my good friend, my teacher and most of all, my brother.

in ever lovin memory of darren kang -it sure ain't the same without you, bro.

ciao.
