Andy Lau getting married, seriously?

Yein Jee — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 02:43:27 +0000

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.

Beijing Olympics roundup (7)

Some random news about Beijing 2008 Olympics…

The power of love

Matthias Steiner of Germany was the men’s +105kg weightlifting champion on Tuesday. When I first saw the picture, I thought of how romantic this guy was… I only knew a day later that the woman in the picture was his wife Susann, who died in a car accident last year, and it sparked plenty of emotions…

This will probably be the most memorable Beijing Olympics’ photo for me… it draws love, sadness, romance, pride, commitment and loyalty. If I am a woman I would probably fall in love with this guy.

2008 MTV Asia Awards coming to Malaysia

Yein Jee — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:35:11 +0000

MTV Asia Awards (MAA) 2008 is coming to Malaysia.

MAA, one of the most popular pop events in Asia, is making its debut in Malaysia. The show will be held at the Arena of Stars in Genting City of Entertainment, Malaysia, on August 2, and will be hosted by Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars.

There will be nine regional favourite artist awards and seven international awards to be presented. Among the nominees are Avril Lavigne & Justin Timberlake & Leona Lewis (International), Chris Li (China), Andy Lau & Eason Chan & Joey Yung (Hong Kong), Big Bang & Suju & Wondergirls (Korea), Nic Teo & Siti Nurhaliza (Malaysia), Stefanie Sun (Singapore), Jolin Tsai & S.H.E (Taiwan) etc.

As far as I know, none of the celebrities have confirmed their attendance yet, but judging from the past experiences, most of the winners were pretty supportive of the show… it’s one of the largest of its kind in Asia after all.

It’s not easy to get a ticket though; it’s something that money can’t buy. The fans have to get the tickets via contests by voting for their favourite artists [details]… the fans need some luck obviously.

Karen Mok is going to co-host the event with Jared Leto. Electrico, Jabbawockeez, Leona Lewis, Li Yuchun, OneRepublic, Panic at the Disco, Pussycat Dolls, Super Junior, Stefanie Sun, The Click Five and The Script have confirmed their appearances.

Update – the winners.
