Acclaimed Malaysian director-screenwriter Yasmin Ahmad died on late Saturday at the age of 51 from a stroke she suffered on Thursday.
A great storyteller whom I personally admired, and a wonderful filmmaker adored by people regardless of races or religions. Rest in peace.
Sharing one of her last works, “Funeral”, a heart-warming TV commercial for Singapore’s Ministry of Community Development…
Will be having a short vacation at Cameron Highlands in coming weekend. CH is a popular holiday destination in Malaysia, famous for its cool weather, lush green, tea plantations and strawberry farms etc.
Will take the chance to have a blogging break as well; the blog will not be updated until July 20, CU all again then… [image courtesy of Sykez]

Seems like the MTV Asia Awards will be back to Malaysia again in 2009, according to Korean pop mogul JYP that is.
No official confirmation has been made by MTV Asia yet, but JYP lets his words slipped with his recent Tweet…
“Sorry cuz of the Jonas Brothers tour we can’t go to da MTV asian awards in Malaysia. But I’m sending 2pm so don’t b too sad!”
The ‘we’ is referring to JYP’s favourite employees, the Wonder Girls, who are busy working as opening act for Jonas Brothers’ tour in USA; and as replacement his company is sending boy band 2PM to the award ceremony instead.
Funny thing is most folks didn’t know that MAA will be held in Malaysia again, or if it would be held at all in 2009… and we certainly didn’t know that the Wonder Girls were scheduled to come at the first place.
Dined at the New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur last weekend. It’s a branch of a famous restaurant (in Gasing, PJ) which has been operating since 1977; this one was opened a couple of years ago.
Dinner a couple of weeks ago at K10 claypot chicken rice restaurant in Bercham, Ipoh. K10 is one of the Malaysia’s most famous restaurants specialises in claypot chicken rice, a simple yet tasty Cantonese delicacy.

The Super GT series is back in Malaysia; Sepang International Circuit will again host the popular Japan-based auto racing championship on June 19-21, 2009.
A panning photo below; taken while collecting my ticket in the afternoon. Didn’t spend much time there, the real show only happens in the next two days…
Beside the super cars and Japanese race queens, the organiser is running a lot more extra activities this year to pull the crowd, such as drift demo, rave party and autograph sessions etc.
Should be an entertaining weekend ahead; hope that the summer heat won’t be too unbearable.
