PhangLing.com
was first originally known as "Cass Phang Theatre 97",
opened on the 25th of August, 1997. The web site was located at
the Hong Kong
SchoolNet account of Amanda's classmate. The web site provided
a simple Cass profile, news of Cass, and some various photos and
sound clips. The web site was renamed to "Cass Phang Theatre
98" in 1998.

Since
September 1998, Amanda started schoollife in Bedford, UK. Amanda went
back to Hong Kong in June 1999 and joined Cass
House. After returning back to UK, Amanda had attempted to
reconstruct the "Cass Phang Theatre" website. However,
due to the lack of information on hand and academic pressure, the
project was finally abandoned.

On
the 29th of October, 1999, Amanda's Cass fan friend, Kenneth Lin,
registered CassPhang.com. He then asked Amanda to help him developing
the web site together. On the 13th of November, 1999, "The
Global Cass Phang Network", aiming to create links of Cass
Phang web sites all over the world, was released. At that time,
Cass Phang Theatre was the member of that network.
Recently,
the All-round Cass Phang web site PhangLing.com has been released.
For the purpose of rearranging web site resources, Cass fans decided
to develop CassPhang.com as the official Cass House web site. The
role of CassPhang.com being "The Global Cass Phang Network"
thus came to an end.

In summer 2000, Amanda completed A-Level, and bought loads of Cass's
old albums during the stay in Hong Kong, providing a key foundation
to the web site development later. In October 2000, Amanda entered
University of Warwick. On
the 17th of that month, Amanda registered the domain name Caspina.com.
Amanda reform "Cass Phang Theatre" as "Theatre de
Caspina" by implementing several simple pages which provided
only several home-made wallpapers and screensavers, and immigrated
this temporary version of the site into Caspina.com on the 20th
of October.

On
the 7th of May, Amanda registered the domain name PhangLing.com.
On the 24th of March 2002, Amanda bought the web-hosting services
providing by PowWeb,
which provide a much larger disk space with support on several server-side
technologies such PHP and CGI etc. Amanda announced the project of
reconstructing PhangLing.com as the All-round Cass Phang web site
in the NCDD
Creativity web site on that day.
With
the assistance of good friends, after 5 years, Amanda finally completed
all the pages of the new version of the Cass site and released PhangLing.com
on the 24th of November 2002, in the Warwick
University campus.
