* HaveWeMet: Yip Foon, speaking with Sap, thinks he and Cat have met before. This is due to Cat stopping him from mugging Lily outside of his home. It's a strange plot development only because when Lily see's Yip Foon again, she doesn't recognize him. Though, it could be because she was mugged in the dark. So she didn't get a good look at him.

Though, it sounds more like it's leading on to becoming a suicide message than a regular message. It's cut short due to [[spoiler: Yip Foon mugging Lily for her purse]].
--> Today is the 23rd of January. It’s 3 A.M. I’m at home. I’m parking cars as usual and betting as usual. I now owe the loan shark $0.8 million. I hope the Government will take my debt or else I’ll be killed in the street one day.
