Michelle Wai
Michelle Wai Sze-Nga ( zh, c= 衛詩雅; born on 24 November 1984), is a Hong Kong actress. She was a part-time model before entering the entertainment industry. She is currently under the Emperor Motion Pictures label. Name When Michelle Wai first entered the industry, her management company suggested omitting the word "Wai" and using "Sze-Nga" as her stage name because there was already a singer named "Wai Sze" in the entertainment industry. After that, Wai Sze-Nga faded out of the industry for a while, but soon it was the turn of another singer Shiga Lin to enter the industry. Wai thought that changing her stage name to avoid suspicion was not a good idea, so she took the initiative to suggest to her management company that she should use her real name "Wai Sze-Nga" again. Background Michelle Wai grew up in Tai Ping Village, Sheung Shui, Hong Kong. She has an older sister and a younger brother. Michelle Wai worked as a part-time model at the age of 16.

S, or s, is the nineteenth letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and other latin alphabets worldwide. Its name in English is ''ess'' (pronounced ), plural ''esses''. History Northwest Semitic šîn represented a voiceless postalveolar fricative (as in 'ip'). It originated most likely as a pictogram of a tooth () and represented the phoneme via the acrophonic principle. Ancient Greek did not have a "sh" phoneme, so the derived Greek letter Sigma () came to represent the voiceless alveolar sibilant . While the letter shape Σ continues Phoenician ''šîn'', its name ''sigma'' is taken from the letter ''Samekh'', while the shape and position of ''samekh'' but name of ''šîn'' is continued in the '' xi''. Within Greek, the name of ''sigma'' was influenced by its association with the Greek word (earlier ), "to hiss". The original name of the letter "Sigma" may have been ''san'', but due to the earl ...

4 (four) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. It is a square number, the smallest semiprime and composite number, and is considered unlucky in many East Asian cultures. Evolution of the Hindu-Arabic digit Brahmic numerals represented 1, 2, and 3 with as many lines. 4 was simplified by joining its four lines into a cross that looks like the modern plus sign. The Shunga would add a horizontal line on top of the digit, and the Kshatrapa and Pallava evolved the digit to a point where the speed of writing was a secondary concern. The Arabs' 4 still had the early concept of the cross, but for the sake of efficiency, was made in one stroke by connecting the "western" end to the "northern" end; the "eastern" end was finished off with a curve. The Europeans dropped the finishing curve and gradually made the digit less cursive, ending up with a digit very close to the original Brahmin cross. While the shape of the character f ...
