Malay movie trailer of “Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula” (lit. Gang: Adventures Begin), Malaysia’s 1st 3D animated film which began screening on February 12th…
Got a tip from reader CL about the film; haven’t watch it, but the trailer seems promising… can’t say anything about the content, the artwork itself is surprisingly good though. Probably not Hollywood material yet, but it’s a giant leap for the country’s animation industry which was in its infant stage.
Kudos to Les’ Copaque Production and the crew, keep it up.
Hong Kong tabloid “East Week” has published photos of superstar Andy Lau and his rumoured Malaysian girlfriend Carol Chu having lunch at a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. This is the first time the paparazzi has managed to snap (and publish) pictures of the rumoured couple together…
The magazine claimed that Andy and Carol will tie the knots in coming April after 24 years into relationship. The marriage rumour is nothing new; it has been brought up once in a while for more than a decade, but was denied by Andy… in fact he has never publicly admitted the relationship.
Andy has yet to respond on the photos; there’s some hints though, that the latest rumour might be true (at last lol)… as Andy has recently changed his tone regarding this matter, becoming more ambiguous as opposed to the usual strong denial.
It’s said that the couple will hold their wedding at a venue at Berjaya Times Square in KL, the same place where Carol’s sister held her wedding in 2008 in which Andy was rumoured to have attended. There are also rumours that the wedding will be held at an island-resort in Malaysia to avoid the frenzied media.
Notice how many “rumours” I’ve used to write this article? Well, hopefully I don’t have to use the word again for their relationship in near future.
[update] Carol Chu gets Andy Lau’s public recognition at last.
The 7th Annual Korea Times Music Festival (2009) will be held on May 9th at Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles. Arguably the largest K-pop concert in America, the concert tickets are selling like hotcakes.
[Updated] The confirmed performers for this year’s concert include SS501, Girls’ Generation, SHInee, Baek Ji-young, Kim Tae-woo, Lena Park, Tae Jin-ah and Son Ho-young (emcee) etc. Check the event website for updates.
