Guest 玉婆 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Reason why she was called 玉婆 by the Chinese media due to a poem written to her. Interesting ....传奇女明星伊丽莎白·泰勒(Elizabeth Taylor) 于当地时间2011年3月23日在美国去世，享年79岁。伊丽莎白·泰勒自上世纪五十年代就一直被香港媒体冠以玉婆之称，殊不知玉婆也从玉女得来。究竟是何原因？50年代末，伊丽莎白同第三任丈夫到港，香港文人王季友以打油诗纪念此事：“情场数度起风波，玉女终归成玉婆。待到美人迟暮时，能否颠倒后生哥"？玉婆一称遂流传开来。香港作家曾凡透露，泰勒的婚恋生活几经起落，港媒用“玉婆”之称换下她成名以来就被冠以“玉女”的称呼。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His role in this early movie earned him the nickname of "The Student Prince."Upon graduation from secondary school, Tang acted in Hong Kong youth films starring Josephine Hsiao Fang-fang, Chen Chen, and Connie Chan Bo Jue throughout the 60's.

Additionally, he is an active philanthropist in Hong Kong and mainland China as both an individual and an involved Rotarian.Tang was the godfather of Joyce Cheng and close friend of late actress Lydia Shum (mother to Cheng).

starbright Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Amy Winehouse, the British singer who found worldwide fame with a smoky, hip-hop-inflected take on retro soul, yet became a tabloid fixture as her problems with drugs and alcohol brought about a strikingly public career collapse, was found dead on Saturday in her home in London. She was 27.The cause was not immediately known. The London police said they had been called to an address in Camden Square in northern London on Saturday afternoon and found a 27-year-old woman, and pronounced her dead at the scene. The police did not identify the body, but the London Ambulance Service said it was that of Ms. Winehouse, The Associated Press reported.

She was such a mess!About 5 years ago when I saw her performed in London, she was great but her personal life was a disaster. Poor woman!!!

A good example would be Whitney houston, but lucky for her she pulled out of it but her great voice which she has during the 80s and 90s was lost forever. Let's get this straight , Ms whitney did not lose her voice due to drugs, if you trying to imply that drugs did her voice in, I am sorry to tell you but drugs got nothing to do with it, it was wear and tear of her vocal cords, that she damaged her vocals because she always wanted to sing the very difficult notes and give her fans the money's worth in the early days, Her voice is not lost forever, it just evolved and she changed her singing style to suit her range nowadays.When Ms Whitney meets the right producer, her albums can be finger snappingly good, you just gotta play her new albums.Music fas grow up and evolve, their taste in music may change also in a ,atter of two years.Whitney just change and evolve too.Even <Mariah Carey's voice is also not what it used to be, nothing to do with drugs here.

Mercutio Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think if she hadn't done drugs, we wouldn't have had an Amy Winehouse. She gave us two albums (ok, "Frank" wasn't that fab except for "fxxk Me Pumps") and a couple of good collaborations, especially that Zutons' cover delivered so beautifully that one doesn't even notice that it's completely sexually incongruous, and I'm thankful to her for them. I'm not sure she had more to give without cutting herself up inside even more, so I'm glad she's found her way home away from the pain. Bye, Ms. Winehouse.

HendryTan Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Steve Jobs a colourful and indefatigable entrepreneur and innovator. I will just re-publish a section of the Commencement Speech which he gave to the Stanford class of 2005. When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstc82 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 you must remember the computer you are using now was partly designed by steve, your mouse you use, your Microsoft OS was a rip off of MAC. even the movies you watch, steve push the envelopes in PIXAR. music, who made popular a device that contains 10 000 songs etc? creative? no, its steve. even if you do not use an apple product, apple greatly influence the way we use technology. steve was not a nice guy to work with. he once fired a staff when they were in the same lift. the entire pixar animation staff were almost fired if not for the success of Toy Story, steve will not take NO for an answer as steve demands the best. Steve's DNA is everywhere in APPLE, even the TV in the Apple store, the funiture, the packaging, everything has to do with steve. I always admired steve for over 20plus years since MAC II, i read how steve was sacked from APPLE, the failure of NEXT, the formation of PIXAR w Lucas, the re employment of steve by APPLE by its aquisition of NEXT, the birth IMAC, singnals the rebirth of Apple, and it made APple cool again, the real growth of the brand was IPOD and itunes, followed by ITOUCH, and of cos the iphone and ipad.however, APPLE was always about the little guy vs the evil empire of microsoft. to have a apple product before the iphone had a wow factor, its cool, expansive, beautiful and much desired. steve made apple products sexy. compare an apple ipod/itouch with anything by creative and you see the stark difference. steve placed alot in design. i got my itouch for over $600 when it 1st came out, creative had similar for abt $200 but people desire the itouch, not the creative.my wish for apple is for them to cont to innovate but never ever be the evil empire steve used to hate.RIP. when u died, part of my childhood died with you. together with the disband of REM, i think i am really getting old.
