He died last night, his heart conditions striked leaving a serious heart attack as what i have seen on a couple of my old colleague's photos on facebook; got the info from "联合晚报". Alas everyone has to leave one day, it's however sad as the younger generation grew up with him and his never-ending laughter during movies with jack neo.

I'm happy because I learnt to be contented. Black & White life with surprising rainbows sometimes. ;)

For those who know how to read health signs from a person's face, we know his 面堂发暗 and he was not in good health.

I would guess it was mostly from smoking and drinking in those unhealthy night lives.

Many of them knows it and this is the price that they pay.

Joe Weider, bodybuilding guru and Schwarzenegger mentor, dies at 93

Joe Weider, a legendary figure in bodybuilding who helped popularise the sport worldwide and played a key role in introducing a charismatic young weightlifter named Arnold Schwarzenegger to the world, died Saturday at age 93.

Weider's publicist, Charlotte Parker, told the Associated Press that the bodybuilder, publisher and promoter died of heart failure at his home in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.

"I knew about Joe Weider long before I met him," Schwarzenegger, who tweeted the news of his old friend's death, said in a lengthy statement posted on his website. "He was the godfather of fitness who told all of us to be somebody with a body. He taught us that through hard work and training we could all be champions."

A bodybuilder with an impressive physique himself, Weider became better known in later years as a behind-the-scenes guru to the sport.

He popularised bodybuilding and spread the message of health and fitness worldwide with such publications as Muscle & Fitness, Flex, and Shape. Schwarzenegger himself is the executive editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex.

He created one of bodybuilding's pre-eminent events, the Mr Olympia competition, in 1965, adding to it the Ms Olympia contest in 1980, the Fitness Olympia in 1995 and the Figure Olympia in 2003.

He also relentlessly promoted Schwarzenegger, who won the Mr Olympia title a then-record seven times, including in 1980 and every year from 1970 through 1975.

"Every sport needs a hero and I knew that Arnold was the right man," he once said.

Weider brought Schwarzenegger to the United States early in his career, where he helped train the future governor of California as well as aided him in getting into business. Schwarzenegger also said Weider helped land him his first movie role, in the forgettable film Hercules in New York, by passing him off to the producers as a German Shakespearean actor.

"Joe didn't just inspire my earliest dreams; he made them come true the day he invited me to move to America to pursue my bodybuilding career," the actor said in his statement. "I will never forget his generosity. One of Joe's greatest qualities is that he wasn't just generous with his money; he freely gave of his time and expertise and became a father figure for me."

Weider also mentored numerous other bodybuilders.

Born in Canada in 1919, Weider recalled growing up in a tough section of Montreal.

Just like the apocryphal tale of the skinny kid who starts working out after a bully kicks sand in his face, Weider said he was indeed a small, skinny teenager picked on by bullies when he came across the magazine Strength.

He had actually tried to join a local wrestling team, he said, but was turned down by the coach who feared he was so small he'd be hurt. Inspired instead by the magazine, he built his own weights from scrap parts found in a railroad yard and pumped them relentlessly.

Word of his efforts got around and he was eventually invited to join a weightlifting club.

"When I saw the gym, saw the guys working out, supporting one another, I was mesmerised," he recalled.

He won his first bodybuilding contest at age 17, and soon after began to publish his first magazine, Your Physique.

Later he started a mail-order barbell business, and in 1946 he and his younger brother staged the first Mr Canada contest at Montreal's Monument National Theater. At the same time they formed the International Federation of Bodybuilders.

In recent years, Weider donated much of his bodybuilding memorabilia to the University of Texas at Austin, which opened the Joe and Betty Weider Museum of Physical Culture in 2011. He is survived by his wife.

提起黄文永,谁能忘记新传媒怀旧剧《雾锁南洋》中,正直善良的阿水?

文永丝丝入扣的演技,再加上与女主角向云之间的默契使这部电视剧成为一部经典;这部剧集也让文永和向云奠定'第一代阿哥、阿姐的地位'。

外形文质彬彬的文永,戏路的宽广,实在超乎你的想像。从《暴雨狂花》里的吝啬鬼到《金枕头》里的贪心狡猾的商人、从《三个半女人》面临中年危机的普通上班族到《春到人间》喜感十足的青春鼓王,在在显示出文永收放自如的演技。

文永在长寿环境剧《敢敢做个开心人》也成功创造了黄金来这个斤斤计较、聪明反被聪明误的小人物。'黄金来'更为他赢得《红星大奖》最佳喜剧演员。

除了演戏以外,文永也主持节目。文永过去在马来西亚曾担任过教师,他扎实的文化修养,幽默机智的应对能力,让节目生色不少。他所主持的节目,就包括大型筹款节目《总统星光慈善1995》,农历新年特约节目及崭新风格的饮食节目《食指大动》。

黄文永虽然走了, 但却不会带走他留在人们心中大哥大的地位。安心上路。

For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?

People who die are not in the presence of God. They are dead in every way, and in the sleep of death do not remember or praise God.

红星大奖2013最佳男配角, 成就奖, 我想, 也许会颁给黄文永 然后静默一分钟,

据报道, 黄文永在电话和网上投票暂时都稳进入十大,

黄文永曾多次入围十大最受欢迎男艺人, 但只成功捧回一座。

万般带不走, 任何奖项对他来说, 似乎已没有多大的意义了。

From Micheal Jackson - "Gone Too Soon"

 

 

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky 
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Gone Too Soon

 

 

 

R.I.P

condolences to your family members

給予阿水,

Most of us feel a lot of pain associated with dying. The loss of a loved one. So much suffering in the body. So much suffering emotionally. Just a lot of pain.

That pain often calls us to reach out for solace. For comfort. For a different perspective. For another side.

愛你的阿梅至上
