As usual, it was a night of tears especially for Leo Ku, the big winner of the night. I am happy for Wyman. He was the dark horse and didn’t expect to beat Lin Xi (King of Lyrics). But he has really written a lot of good songs, including all the songs in “hocc2”, controversial topics like “再見露絲瑪莉”(Goodbye RoseMary) and “我是笆比” (I am Barbie), and hits for Sammi like “親密關係”(Intimate). He has come a long way since his days as a deejay at 903.

Usually I enjoy watching this award ceremony more than Hit Radio’s. Though hocc didn’t win awards this time, she looked absolutely stunning in that golden yellow costume. Ready to dazzle in 2005!
