We have a friend in Shanghai who keeps joking about how much he misses our group of friends in HK (coz we are so awesome of cuz : P), so when we decided to go visit him for his birthday I really wanted to give him a present that reminds him of us, of all the awesome times the bunch of us have spent together.
It only took seconds for everyone to come up with what reminds us of “Mak’Luvin” and our good times with him – his favourite catchphrases. His incredibly funny, witty, abrupt and provocative catchphrases are his trademark. Whenever they are dropped into our conversations, they never fail to amuse, with all of us cracking up laughing so hard our stomachs hurt. These belong to him and him only. It’s just not the same when someone else repeats them. His mannerisms, his snickering, his laugh, his gestures are what makes them so special.
So, this is how the page came about, a page of him, in a stunning photo reminding us of what we thought was another hilarious encounter in Hanoi, together with his name and a list of his infamous mottos.
We hope that everytime he sees his own quotes that remind us of him, he will remember how much happiness and joy he has brought to us over the years also. Happy Birthday again Mak’ Luvin aka Christopher DANGER Mak hahahah…
