Sehseh: Sigh~ What can I comment on this news? By the way, it was barely few days ago when Charmaine said Benny is not her boyfriend, and now Benny is 'divulging' to his 'close friend'? What kind of 'close friend' is that? I admit don't like Benny very much, but if this is true and Charmaine is happy with it, I will still continue to support her. By the way, HK property are so damn expensive. HKD4 million for a tiny apartment? Okay, maybe a luxury apartment, but still... very crampy. No wonder Charmaine want a double storey lot.
