    i like dicky cheung’s acting a lot.
    happy to know that he’s getting married.
    i know who his gf is, but i don’t know her english name.
    but he’s marrying the gf that he dated with for quite long right?
    i think they’re cute together.
    but she speaks mandarin and dicky mainly speaks canto.
    wonder if they use canto or mando when they talk. =P

    i enjoyed the fan-made video of the kpop songs. thanks!

    Dicky and Jess are 9-10 years into relationship; I think they are speaking mainly in Mando… Dicky’s Mandarin should be better than Jess’s Cantonese :p

    i just tried searching for pictures of their wedding.
    i only found some youtube videos though.
    but i can clearly see that the bride is very beautiful.
    also read some chinese articles about the wedding.
    it was an emotional and touching one.
