Celebrity, Keagan Kang, indeed!













Talking about Celebrities.


Well, besides Sharon Kwok, Conservationist.Celebrity of AquaMeridian Foundation in HK, another unique, Gorgeous, Interesting Artiste, Whom I'd got to know for a while, who adores Nature, Sea, Sports, Animals, would be Keagan Kang.


As Stylish, Stunning as he is, Keagan strikes to me as an outstanding Actor.


Though, having attained Great Fame, he maintains a humble, pleasant, helpful and cheerful disposition, often liked by his Fans and Audience here.




Then, he became my God.Brother.


And that's why I told myself to pen this blog, so that You can know more about him!!!


Let me start.


Born on 5 May 1976, Keagan grew up in Australia, Perth, when his Parents, both Sinaporeans migrated to Australia in year 1974.


Keagan certainly obtained his Fantastic Looks from Dearest Mum, Ms Alicia Monteirio, and Beloved Dad, Leroy Kang.








His Paternal GrandDad, Mr. Leary Kang, a Teochew from Swatow, was a distinguished Man, who worked as a Top Official at the Public Utilities Board of Singapore, while his Great Grandma was a Chiefton's Daughter


Both his paternal and maternal GrandDads were distinguished Men, who bothed worked for the Public Utitities Board of Singapore. back in those days, whkile his Great Grandma was a Chiefton's Daughter of the Dyak Tribe in Borneo.


Besides, Keagan is also related to the Musical Family of the Monteirio, where his Uncle Freddy Kang plays with the Thunderbirds then, and of course Jazz Maestro Jeremy Monteirio and Diva Claressa Monteirio.


I went on to ask him, why he'd gone into acting. In his words, he said " I was always open, loving and compassionate, very driven and had always wanted to pursue things."


It was a calling, a Passion, he continued,  and also a desire, a need to express, about the power of story telling.


Keagan clearly had a goal in life at a young age. At about 7 years old, he had yearned to be on stage, to do musical. And he did it in Australia and post on Youtube. As he did more, he gathered more experience, and better at it and found a passion for it.


To date, Keagan has been acting for 23 years now.


He is known for his work on Beautiful Boxer (2004), No Through Road (2008) and Burn (2016). In 1996, in Australia, he did a Series called Sweat, and played a gay character called Richard, who is the lover of Heath Ledger. This had gone for one Season.


Anyway, his credits are on ImDb.


In Singapore, he acted with Triple Nine, Under One Roof, and Code of Law, had led to his growing popularity among many Singaporeans here.


Sipping my drink, I asked Keagan his views about life.

He uttered,

 

 "When you find that thing, that you are truly passionate about, and love with the totality of your soul, pusue it. You may fail, or Succeed. But as long as you try, the worst thing to do is to stay idle, sitting on the fence...

Choose a side and go for it. That's Life.

 

 He ended.

 

Indeed, well said.
 

As I end the writing, deep in my heart, I wish Keagan Success, Wealth, Health, Peace and Happiness.







 

GOD BLESS,

 JENNY, XXX

A Lovely Dinner with Sharon Kwok @ Tim Ho Wan!

It was my dream come true when I'd finally met Sharon Kwok, a Celebrity/Conservationist @ Aquameridian at ADEX 2016, recently at Suntec Convention Centre!




Well, Sharon Kwok is one of my favourite Hong Kong Actress!

When I was about 13, I saw Sharon Kwok on TV, winning Hong Kong Beauty Pageants. Subsequently, I watched her act in the many Hong Kong serial Dramas.


Now, after 30 years, through FB, I came upon Sharon, send her a note and added her.


Since, I followed her on FB, often enjoying reading her interesting posts, and sharing them.


WOW! Seeing her in real person brought huge Sunshine to my heart!

Awesomely Stunning, Naturally Beautiful, Confident and poised,  Sharon is truly a Lady role model!






Let me tell you something about her.

An Artist, actress, a Naturalist at heart, Sharon Kwok is a Eurasian, born in Hong Kong, who grew up in San Francisco. As a Fine Arts artist, Sharon taught arts, as well as held her first exhibition at age 17.

She draws or paints all mediums, sculpts and carves jadeite.

As an actress, she has been featured in over a dozen movies and all Hong Kong TV stations, as well as some abroad. She has also dabbled in music for charitable causes.


Today, Sharon has completely devoted herself to conservation work.

A Director of WildAid and Mission Blue, she founded AquaMeridian Conservation & Education Foundation Hong Kong to contribute to the preservation of biodiversity via revolutionizing conservation in China and other parts of Asia, places where simple changes in Chinese traditions such as consumers' views of wildlife products, or consideration of natural resources would have critical impact.








Her presence on stage at ADEX 2016, exuded great persona and charisma, displaying the qualities of a True Conservationist!









Besides, Joseph and friend, Eddie Oh, were delighted to see her and snap a picture with her!!






With a Loving hubby, four beautiful daughters and a handsome son, Andrew Pong, an aspiring singer, Sharon certainly deserves a fortunate life!



                                                       Catch Andrew Pong on Youtube!!!


What I also like about her is her caring heart! Well, when I'd just met her at ADEX, while she was in the audience seat, I'd told her about my handphone battery going flat.

Then, as I had to leave for a while to attend to another meeting, she, without a word, handed me her power bank and said, "Here, take this with you. You need it."

I was touched.


Subsequently, at Tim Ho Wan, she had carefully selected and ordered those dishes, without pork for me . (I dun consume pork for religious reason), while I had to go to the washroom.










 

At Tim Ho Wan, we spoke further on her thoughts about Hopes, Dreams and Life.


In her words, she said to me this,

"Dreams evolve as you grow. Sometimes, it changes and evolve to a different one ...

What you'd wanna be when you were 7 years old, certainly wouldn't be the same as that when you are 40 ..., You just learn and Grow."


It was truly a memorable nite with Sharon Kwok! The Great Food, Great Ambience, Great Advice, in a sweet and melodious voice, were all absolutely Fantastik!!!!




LET'S ALL SUPPORT SHARON KWOK IN HER JOURNEY TOWARDS CONSERVATION & WILDLIFE!!
