GoodBye MC King • 01.05.08
It is sad to hear of someone as talented and cheerful as MC King (Jimmy Nah, Lan Qing Xi) pass away at the age of 40. His death cast a spell of sadness for all of us who have watch him in Kopi-O (咖啡乌) as toddlers. Over the years, while his appearances on the small screen were little, he was still fondly remembered as MC King due to his famous role in the coffeeshop drama. Even 2nd Aunt (二姑) whose real name I can never recall would be called as the screen name.
25年后我就65岁了。25年后本地戏剧发展又会如何？25年后我还能继续的坚守岗位吗？25年后我们还会有同样的聚会吗？25年后今天出席的艺人同事可能有一大半早就另某高就了？
可能我也等不到25年后，我就仙游了。。。哈哈哈 。。。
This was what he wrote last year. My rough translation:
I’ll be 65 in 25 years’ time. How would the entertainment circle be in 25 years? Would I still be able to continue being the (sorry, don’t know what that is)? Would we still be gathering together 25 years later? Would half the artistes born 25 years later would rise in status?
Maybe I can’t wait for 25 years later, I could be walking in heaven. Haha.
He left a legacy in the entertainment circle.
