梅艷芳 Anita Mui


Anita Mui Yim-Fong was born in 1963 and began her show business career early (at the tender age of five), performing opera and pop songs along with her sister. When she was eighteen, Mui won a singing contest and began her recording career. She became known as the "queen of movies and TV" and "the Madonna of Asia," not just because of her acting, but because she sang the theme song for literally dozens of flims and shows. Mui also displayed talent in front of the camera, winning the prestigious Taiwan Golden Horse for her role as a tortured ghost in 1987's Rouge.

Though she is best known for romantic and dramatic roles, she has shown that she can act in action (Heroic Trio) and comedic (Drunken Master 2) roles as well. Like many female HK stars, Mui retreated somewhat from the spotlight, though she still does act occasionally in films. Her CDs continue to be extremely popular in Asia -- one recent series of concerts in Hong Kong sold out 28 consecutive nights -- as well as in other markets, since she often includes the songs she records for films.

In 2003, Mui was diagnosed with cervical cancer, a disease which took the life of her sister. Though she kept a brave face and continued working, Mui passed away in December due to complications.

The clip below is from her final concert in HK. She knew she couldn't make it for long, so she decided to held the final concert, as a thank you to all her fans and also a full stop for her life. She was born for stage and she wanna die on the stage too. It was sad, you can see she was losing her voice already, but she was still tough to make it to the end. She passed away not long later after the concert. If not mistaken, that was her last song on the stage.






Always love her stage performance. The show below was her with her best friend, the Late Leslie Cheung. He killed himself on 1st April 2003. Still hard to accept both of them has gone...at the same year. No one could ever replace them.




Her funeral.

Mui, love you always. You will always be remembered.


Selamat Hari Raya

On the 15th Oct, we planned to have our Raya Dinner. This is actually the first time we celebrate for Hari Raya. Since its for Raya, so all the dishes must be in Malay styles.

Wayne was cooking something he is good at, chicken rendang with his own receipt. It was nice and very very big portion. It would be better if its more spicy and have some gravy with it. Anyhow, its still finger licking good.

As for Thim, he was cooking potatoes' leafs with sambal haie bee; even though he was planned to cook KangKong at first. Guess he couldn't find the kangkong at the market. His dish was great, especially the crunchy haie bee, really contributed a lot to the dish. Even though it was way too salty, but still we finished it all. I think probably he is still not fully recover from his illness, so small mistake there.

As for CP, he brought prawn & 'chai ean'. Yeah, 'brought' because as usual, he asked his mum to cook instead. So, not much commend given. Anyway, I know he can't wait to cook us the dishes that he learned it from TV. Just that now is not his turn yet. hehehe. I really can't wait to taste it because from the way his described, it seems yummy.

Wayne's hubby, Lawrence aka Ah Lai, broke his promise and cooked fried fishes instead of Otak-otak that he promised me. Hmmm...I really miss his otak-otak. It is superb. Anyway, the fish is great especially when served with the sweet& sour sauce that he made.

As for the newly joined couple, hong & yit, they were incharged of drink. Don't know what's the name of the drink but it mixtures of beer, 7-Up and Laycee. It tasted good. Too bad they prepared too little. Its very sweet of them to bring us Ice cream Potong too.

As for me, I cooked nasi lemak and fried eggs. Hmm.....it was my failure dishes, so nothing much I wanted to say. whahaha. Pai Ser. Anyhow, I brought some chicken & pork satay for sharing.

(wat ?? thought it was Malay style and it supposed to be halal, why pork?) Don't ask me. I just know it tasted great !! Yummy Yummy. ;p


Hmmm...did I miss out anyone ? Oh yeah, Kenny the cutie. So happen he called the night before and said that he is back from Singapore for a week, so just invited him over to join us. After all, he know all of us for years except the new couple. He really put on.......perfume. whaha. Still, he is cute & adorable as the first day I know him, which was 10years ago.


After the meal, they were watching Charlotte's Web. It was a nice movie. I liked it a lot. It is funny and touching. Anyhow, I didn't join them as I just watched it in the morning. So, I just chit chatting with Ken in my room.

Time flies, my 5 days holidays is coming to the end. Tomorrow have to start working. Hmmm.... maybe its good too, or else I would be too lazy to move my big fat ass. whahaha.

p/s : CP did tell some jokes, something with mouse & family with the pad lock. whaha. If you would like to know more, please contact to him personally. ;p
