Chinese singer dies in plastic surgery

Chinese singer dies in plastic surgeryThe news of a fatal plastic surgery in China has caught public attention recently. 24-year-old Wang Bei, known for her participation in a popular singing contest a few years ago, died in a supposedly routine facial surgery procedure on Nov 15.

It’s reported that the surgeon accidentally cut a vessel near her jaw, and blood got into her respiratory system, which resulted in suffocation. Not sure if the case is under investigation or not; early reports suggested that Wang’s family might not want to make this into a legal issue.

The news caused plenty of debates on the necessity/safety of plastic surgery and social discrimination/expectation etc. Bottom line is, there’s always risk when a person is going under the knife. And some of the procedures might not be as safe as what some plastic surgeons are claiming.

Regardless, the news will be forgotten after a short period of time. Plastic surgery has became a trend these days, and China is one of the fast booming market for the industry… a couple of deaths won’t stop the public urge to become prettier by artificial means. Kinda sad actually. Rest in peace, Wang Bei.

Hawaii Five-0

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 07:28 AM PST

Teaser for the 2010 version of American TV series Hawaii Five-0. The crime-action drama has just started showing at my place earlier this month; it should be a few episodes ahead in US & Canada…

The only thing I remember from the original Hawaii Five-O is the epic theme song; and it’s quite an old series so there’s no point comparing both. There are hits and misses with the 2010 show… Hawaii looks great, action is decent, but the script (the dialogues in particular) is poor, and the cast is doing just ok.

The Asian actors caught my interest at first; after all it’s not often to see Asians taking half a portion of the leading cast (i.e. Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim & Grace Park) in a US drama series. Grace Park took me to the second episode, and even she could do nothing as I halted before the third.
