Wedding Breeze

Edison Chen, who is involved in the biggest sex scandal of this century, has just apologised for his actions. He claimed that the photos were extremely private and in no way did he intended them to be shared. He was also going to leave the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

I?m not sure why, but I actually shed a tear or two when I saw that press conference. I actually sympathised with him. He had been one of my favourite actors. I actually discovered his blog earlier, and he wrote the way one would expect him to (lots of swearing and slang).

I love the way he spoke in English during the press conference, but too bad it was under such circumstances. I think with proper lighting, anyone can look good. He looked horrendous in his self-made video apology with poor lighting.

I haven?t really seen the photos, but I could imagine the hurt and shame caused to the women involved. However, if they had consented to taking such photographs, then they should have expected that there was a possibility that they would be leaked out. One marriage is at stake, while another wedding appears to be called off. The complete fallout will continue to be felt.

Moments of indiscretion could come back to haunt. This incident acts as a cautionary tale to whoever wants to record their private life in the bedroom. So, hang on tight to your videocam when you go for your honeymoon if you ever think of having something to look back on. In addition, whatever you choose to do, think of how it could affect you later. It may cost you your job (Gillian Chung and Edison Chen), or your marriage (Cecilia Cheung and Bobo Chan).

According to an article I read in the Digital Life, files are never deleted on your hard disk. They are simply moved to another sector, or the name changes. Hence, forensic computer experts can find the data easily. The only way to destroy the data completely is to smash your hard disk to bits.???

I hope that people would move on with their lives and not have to bear with the consequences indefinitely.
