Life is FRAGILE...Life is SHORT....

this afternoon, i received a sms from my friend...according to her, people said that it's published in The Star newspaper that spm results will be released next thursday ( February 28th ) so she asked me to check if it's true...due to my laziness to flip through the newspaper, i checked the star online instead..found nothing about the spm result rumour..instead i saw a shocking news..here it is :

Veteran Hong Kong actress Lydia Sum dies

HONG KONG (AP): Veteran Hong Kong actress Lydia Sum, known for her iconic black-rimmed glasses and heavy build, died early Tuesday, news reports said. She was reportedly 61.

The cause of death wasn't immediately clear, but Commercial Radio reported on its Web site that Sum had been suffering from a bile duct condition. Radio RTHK reported on its Web site she suffered from liver cancer.

Born in Shanghai in 1947, Sum made her movie debut at age 13, according to the Commercial Radio report.

She acted in more than 100 movies in Hong Kong and hosted more than 5,000 episodes of variety shows. Her credits also include a starring role in the Singaporean English-language sit-com "Living with Lydia.''

Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang mourned Sum's death.

"Hong Kong grew up with her laughter. She brought us a lot of joy,'' Tsang told reporters.

Sum is survived by ex-husband, actor Adam Cheng, and their daughter Joyce Cheng.

it's really sad to read about this..i couldn't believe it when i saw the headline..i just saw her on television recently receiving a tvb award..she looked so much thinner..i used to think, that she's really a happy go lucky person with no worries at all..laughing all the way in whatever tv shows and events she hosted...she had a great sense of humour..

she's been suffering for a long time and this puts a stop to it..she's probably in paradise with our Creator now..may she rest in peace..i'll surely miss seeing her on tv...

well, life is so fragile that nobody but God knows what's gonna happen tomorrow..life is short so we should appreciate our lives and live it to the fullest before it's too late..that's all for now..

p/s. let me know if you're not sure who lydia sum is..i'll upload a picture of her..
