sad day in the entertainment world

wow i didn't realise that some time has passed since my last post.. which was about the passing of an 70s icon... and last friday two more icons have passed as well. One was a TV icon who battled her last days against cancer, the other was a musical legend (yes i'll say it.. no matter what he was accused of) who changed the music industry almost singlehandedly.

RIP Michael Jackson

RIP Farah Fawcett

'Grasshopper' is no more

Actor David Carradine found dead in Bangkok (AP)

BANGKOK - Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok. A news report said he was found hanged in his hotel room and was believed to have committed suicide.

A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-old actor. He said the embassy was informed by Thai authorities that Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for his family.

what did u d this weekend?

after a while, since i returned from my trip around central Europe with the missus, i had a weekend in Penang (last 2 weekends involved going home to see the parents, going for a photo workshop etc).

So i had a nice relaxing Sunday with my wifey, relaxed, watched a DVD at home just the basic lepak!

Monday was badminton day, woo hoo, nice to workout after a month out of action! and then we took an evening drive after she got back from work, and went to check out the Penang Floral Fest. not bad, but the range there seems limited. Cool bonsai and orchids though.


Tuesday was equally nice. Chu needed to get some shots for some project of his, so me and George tagged along.

Went to this waterfall>

it's almost on the other side of the island, about a 5 minute trek from the main road, and it's quietly cool. best part is u can't hear the road or lorries on it once u'r there.

well need to make a trip back there without the camera...


We then made our way down to Balik Pulau for some famous Asam Laksa... ooh sedapnya!!

hehehe. guess there's much more to find in Penang.
