CNY Over..
It has been a week since i last blog. 15 days of CNY has passed, along with the 10 million dollars ToTo Lunar Draw. 10 people strike the ToTo and shared the money. Some events, good and bad had happened during the this period of time.
Well, we all know that the Singaproe Zoo icon, Ah Meng, had died on the 2nd day of CNY due to old age. A sad day for the caretaker of Ah Meng since she came to Singapore Zoo. Next, we had the Edison’s racy photos issue, which really makes the Hong Kong Media frenzy. Edison went to USA immediately after the photos had turn up in the internet. And the media news had splashed the event on the headlines of almost every newspaper. More photos turned up in the the internet everyday. Hong Kong police arrested about 10 people who had upload the photos into the internet. People went into finger pointing, protest, name calling… etc. Internet become a crazy medium to voice out displeasures, views, jokes, criticism,..etc, common to all when some significant event happened.
Yesterday, Edison went back to Hong Kong almost 1 month after the photos started turning out in the internet. He had held a media conference and admitted taking those photos. He said that those photos are for personal and had never wanted to distribute it or let anyone see it. The photos are stolen from his laptop, when it was sent for repaired, and had been maliciously distributed without his consent and knowledge. He apologised to all and to the ladies and their families. In my view, he dun owes everyone apologies, except for those ladies who are involved and their families. Almost everydays, such videos appeared in the internet and nobody create a big hoo haa from it. But because it is a artiste who is the main character, things goes crazy and words start to fly around. Coupled with the power of internet, things really goes crazy. Edison had decided to leave the Hong Kong entertainment and returns to USA. Well, whether this will put a stop to this crazy event or it will push the topic further, time will tell.
Next event was the death of the Hong Kong comedian Artist, Lydia Sum. She was the ‘Happy Nut’ of Hong Kong and had acted in numerous Hong Kong comedy movies, that had bring laughter to lots of people. The news of her death had affected may people, including her close friends, relatives, her fans, her colleagues….etc. She had been sick and had been in and out of hospital and had really frail alot. The last i saw her on TV, she was really downsized from her usual size. She left behind her only daughter, age 20, from her last marriage to Zheng Shao Qiu. Her marriage ended with divorce. But till the last day, she still had feelings for him. Her last wishes was for her friends to help take care of her daughter.
The newspaper and media have been reporting about her life story and her ups and downs. After reading thru some of it, u can really feel about her strong will and her love for Zheng Shao Qiu. She was loved by many, as well as respect by many. Hong Kong people mouns for her death. Well wishes have been flooding the blog of her daughter asking her to take care.
Her body will be sent back to canada to be buried beside her parents. Hong Kong will be holding a ceremony to mourn for her as well as played the video of her burial ceremony. Reading the news of her death, it really brings up the emotion and then i remembered how my grandmother died. She died in the middle of the nite and by the next day when we found out, it was too late for us to do anything liao..
Yesterday was also the draw date for the Yearly Lunar New Year TOTO $10 million draw. Read from the news that 10 people share the top prize with each getting $1 million. Sigh.. how come i am not one of them?? Today is friday, and at last weekend is arriving soon. My mechanical course for one of the equipment that i will be servicing ended just now. Last monday, i also went for the Shipyard Safety Induction Course. A course that everyone who will be working in shipyard needs to take.
Oh ya, last sat, went out with some friends from WhoLivesNearYou to celebrate the birthday of Matthew. Matthew was surprise that we bought a cake and celebrate his birthday (which is on Tues, 19/02) at the McDonald at Tiong Bahru Plaza. I just told him that we are meet out for lah teh (stir tea) and chit chat. I went to bought the cake from Angie The Choice. After the celebration, we went to see the midnite show for “Jumper”. Quite good and interesting movie. Think there will be a part 2, since some of the characters seems not complete in the movie.
Some of the photos for the celebration of Matthew’s birthday.
