Majestic Hotel located at Jordan had a very special meaning to me at my 20s'. According to Andy, the first time I go there to watch a movie called "Four Weddings and a Funeral", together with my "chong-yau" from HISO in 1994. Before and after the movie, we did also play a visit to the famous "Ming Sing Bar". From then on, I personally attended more than 4 weddings and 1 funeral for my friends and Ming Sing Bar was a important trademark to me in the decade as well. When I met again those friends after graduated, the first question from them must be "Do you still play often visit at Ming Sing Bar?"
The reason to write this post is specially delicate to Ming Sing Bar, also to the whole hotel as well as it will be officially closed after 18th November, 2007. After clearance for a week, the hotel part will be re-constructed for a period of 4-6 months, so as to build a new 4 stars hotel in next year. I do not believe this new hotel will be named "Majestic" in the future. However, at least I hope the new Management will keep the same name for the future hotel bar. Who knows!
There are many happy and sad memories at the hotel (usually in the bar): Andy and I had a very relax and enjoyable chatting after lessons at there from five to eleven, something like this. Cannot recall what kind of sad reason now, I finished 6 glasses of "special" Long-Island Ice Tea within an hour, making me totally unconscious even after those brothers took me back to Hall. There were 15 good floor-brothers celebrated my birthday at there and we killed a total of 4 dozen of my favorite Heineken beer within 2 hours. Sitting down at a corner, thinking many many things, drinking the specially bitter beer, after attending my friend's funeral.
In one X'mas eve, the first time I stood on the stage (of course the big one many years ago) to sing "Hotel California", with many guests dancing and crapping hands, fulfilling my utmost satisfaction on singing. Then later, also the first time I see Lau-Hung made an attempt for a deep French-kiss on Iris (later become his wife), under a good loving theme from the movie "Ghost" - The Unchained Melody. I wonder it was really a big X'mas gift not only to Iris, but also to all of us in there, as the clock just walked pass the midnight.
Of course, there were also many many unforgettable moment. Even after graduated, we still enjoyed sitting on the table with big sofa (Table no. 7 or 8), having some rounds of beer, chatting "who will get married first?" the kind of things. The musics (during Joey-Boy's era), the drinks (of course Heineken), the over a decade Bartenders (Uncle & Samson), and many many waitress and captains, are all my very good and unforgettable memory at there. Although all these things are passed and even only me may still keep in my brain, they did shape and accompany to Fai-san's life at his golden twentieth.

The memory is fully loaded to my little 6 pound universe, so don't say you are the only one to remember all of these.

Hahah, 4 wedding and 1 funerals. The very 'stupid movie' you, me, Debby, and possibly with Ah Sin going there to watch together. Hahah, you know me, stupid in the sense that I got quite of a loaded doze of stupidity for going aftering something, hahahah. That's the start then.
There were so many things, so many memories, ups and downs, good and bad, hatred and love, above all, daring to say I got quite of a much much bigger share of your memory jointly crafted together to build up our stupid late 10s and almost a full 20s with, myself, beers and melabu, hahahah.
