Singing those January blues: Nothing brings them out like karaoke. At least that was the thinking behind a recent reunion night that brought together the members of McGill's Hong Kong Dragon Students. The event was intended to get members re-acquainted with one another now that a new semester is underway, says HKDA president Herman Woo.

The HKDA is a 150-member club that organizes sports activities, community work and social events for students hailing from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.
