In our cell meeting last night, it came as a surprise to discover that one of our new cell members is an ex-Hong Kong movie star. She used to act with actresses like Lin Dai, Ling Poh, Wong Yi etc.
Lilian was a sharp lady in our cell. She kept on saying that this lady's name looked familiar and she had seen it somewhere. Finally, she revealed her identity. She was indeed an actress in the late sixties and early seventies. She told us she started acting at the age of 18 and carried on for 8 years until she got married. Later on, her family moved to San Francisco. Now, at the age of 59, she is here in Sabah doing theological study in STS. The truth is: she doesn't look 59. That's probably because of some secret formula in beauty preservation she found as an actress. Looking at her, it's hard to believe that she was once an actress acting together with the like of Ling Poh. But then as she told us, she had totally put that part of her life behind and has since moved on.
It is amazing to know of her current dedication and commitment to the Gospel: coming all the way from the US to Sabah to study, at age 59!
Well, that's a great piece of news and encounter in the Good Friday 2007.

wow... that's quite amazing. Actually one of my ex-colleague in Synovate's father used to be a HK movie director! But has now retired in KL. So why has this ex- HK movie star decided come all the way to Sabah to study theology at STS? I would have thought that there would be more of such seminaries in the US
who are these actors/actress of which you speak of?
These were Hong Kong movie stars in the 50's and 60's.Many of then arae no longer around.
