I know this news is a little old but I just knew about it today. Lydia Sum, a great Hong Kong entertainer died on the 19th February 2008.
See, in my younger days, I had the privileged to meet many actors and actresses that came to do their shows in Subang Parade Shopping Center which happened to be one of the most popular shopping malls in the late 1980's.
I was meant to be the "cute little girl" who escort these actors and actresses from the car park to the stage. I can't remember much about those days and I certainly didn't understand their stardoom at that time so I didn't pay much attention to whom I was escorting. I was just happy dressing up with pretty new dresses and having all the attention from everyone because I was little. =)
But one women I particularly remember is the late Miss Lydia Sum. I remember very clearly I was standing opposite the elevator entrace waiting for her car to come. A few minutes later I saw a black B&W car parked outside the escalator front door. First, she sat in the car literally for what felt like 5 minutes long and no one oppened the door for her. Then when someone finally opened the door for her but it took her almost 10 minutes to get out of the car because of her size. I know because I stood dirrectly at the opposite of her car door waiting for her to come out and I had a clear view of what was going on. She looked frustrated and she tried very hard to push herself out of the car. Although I was only about 4 years old at that time, I remember feeling very sorry for her and I wanted to help but all I could do is just stand there and wait for instructions from the elders.
When she finally came out, I saw how tired she was. And then I remembered she was well scary with those glasses and I had to walk up to the stage to give her flowers. (I was 4 and tiny...she was older and way taller lar -_- *I scare*) She was obviously very friendly on stage and I didn't understood then what's with all the hype about all these people.
Probably one of the other reason why I remember her so well is because there was pictures of me and her on the newspaper the next day. I have nothing great to blog about her, I don't remember the conversations we had but I did grow up watching her on television for the next 18 years of my life. And although my appearance in her life is insignificant but personally I think I'm so fortunate to have met her face to face and had the privilege of making her smile by presenting her with flowers (although i didn't buy it) on stage!
