Condolences and assault report

Happy Birthday to Jesseca Liu, Levin Ng and Liz Koh

Stay sweet and beautiful always, Jess... looking foward to your return in abt 2 mths time, I miss you loads.

Here's some heart-wrenching news to share... Christopher Lee's father Mr Lee Soo Kim passed away on Tuesday due to heart attack as well as respiratory problems resulting from fluid in lungs. Chris, his mother and his siblings had been at Mr Lee's side for about 2 weeks in a hospital in Malacca, up to the tragic day. My deepest sympathies to Chris and his family... may they remain strong during this period of grief and loss (Because of this, Chris will not be appearing at the Valentine's Day special in GV VivoCity later tonight).

Another piece of shocking news had gotta be the one where rapper Chris Brown was arrested for assaulting and bruising his soon-to-be-ex girlfriend Rihanna (!!!). Both of them have no-showed in the recent Grammy Awards ceremony due to this incident. I have heard of domestic violence cases before in recent times, but this one is quite unbelievable!! If found guilty, Mr Brown could be charged for up to 4 years jail. Since the incident, Brown's music has been pulled off of radio stations and his advertisements for Wrigley's and Got Milk? have been suspended, and Sesame Workshop announced that the Sesame Street episode featuring Brown would be pulled from future broadcast. Shame on him...wonder why people want to resort to fist fights these days... first the altercation between Chris Jericho and some fans in Canada, and now this.

Yes, I know today is Friday the 13th, but Im not the superstitious kind to begin with. Nothing unlucky had happened to me during the last Friday the 13th (which took place last June methinks), and I'm quite sure that I wouldn't encounter any misfortune. And as far as Friday the 13th is concerned, I am not gonna watch the reboot of "Friday the 13th" later this year (the film starring Jason Voorhees as the main character)... anyway, just wish me luck when I go out later ;-)
