Lydia Sum (1947-2008)

Lydia Shum Din-Ha died of liver tumor and other complications on Tuesday morning in a hospital in Hong Kong. She was 60 years old.

Shum, known for her bouffant hairstyle and dark wing-tipped glasses, was one of Hong Kong's most popular actresses and comediennes with a career spanning more than four decades. Affectionately nicknamed by her fans "Fei Fei" which means "fat" in Cantonese because of her plump physique, Shum won over audiences not only in Hong Kong but in mainland China and Chinese communities around the world.

Shum had been undergoing medical treatment since being diagnosed with the disease more than a year ago. But in recent weeks, her health had worsened and she was moved into intensive care at Queen Mary Hospital where she passed away.

On February 24, 2008, Shum's body will be transported by a Cathay Pacific passenger flight (escorted by her daughter Joyce) from Hong Kong to Vancouver, Canada. Shum will be buried next to her parents at Burnaby's Forest Lawn Memorial Park on February 27 in a private ceremony.

In Loving Memory..

He or she?

O to the M of the G!!!

Guess what? I just found out that this 'guy' in my college is actually a girl! That means she's a 'pengkit'! Geez.. all this while, in fact since last year I thought she was a guy.. a really short & skinny guy.

Just so you know I'm now in TLC, which is in the library. She's sitting with a bunch of friends nearby. They were talking pretty loud.. enough to hear their converstion. For no reason really, I turned towards them just as she started to talk. And I'm like dumbstruck.. cus from that 'guy's mouth is a really soft, feminine voice!

Serious shocker man!

P/S: I'm not being discriminating okay.. just really, really surprised.
