Happy Birthday, dearest Mummy! Look at you, on the cover of a magazine - how many other women could dream of being a covergirl at 64? 😍
This is the woman who would outdance all the young girls in her church, who would be in the front line in performances with her ribbons and tamborine.
Who insisted she was fit enough to travel all over the world whilst fighting Stage 4 Cancer.
Who helped babysit my very active kids, whilst I was busy trying to be an entrepreneur-actress-mum-politician’s wife for years.
When I won my first Best Actress award, Mum said to me, ”You worked damn hard to deserve this, and you did this on your own. I’m so proud of you.” That made EVERYTHING worth it.
At the 2004 Malaysian Fim Festival, Puteri Gunung Ledang got snubbed BIG TIME, and the jury made it clear that they didn’t welcome a RM20m movie that tried to compete with other RM3m movies. And Mum said, “Forget the film industry. They don’t deserve your hard-earned money. Save the rest for your kids’ future.”
My Mummy was tough as nails, so I don’t blame her - she had a hard life, escaping by boat from Medan during the Malaysia-Indonesia confrontation in 1963. She became a widow at 39 and had to bring up 3 kids on a tiny salary. She had the highest tolerance for pain, and never moaned even once, through her 15-year ordeal with Cancer, until her very last breath in 2011.
And she would smile through every challenge. That smile, that covergirl smile 💜
You would have been 79 today, and there isn’t a day that passes when I don’t think of you and miss you being with me. Trust me Mum, your spirit lives on in every one of us you’ve left behind. And God has a smiley dancing angel in Heaven😇. I love you always and forever Mummy, rest in peace. And Happy Birthday!!!!

her world magazine malaysia 在 Malaysian Chef Norman Musa Facebook 的最讚貼文
Dec 2010 - 10 years ago I was interviewed for the KL Prestige magazine! A lot happened in 2010 - travelling with Formula One team around the world was one of them. Alsp I met Gordon Ramsay filming for his TV show in Malaysia and sadly in the same year I lost my dear mum in Feb. Took me 6 months to grieve and she told me to join the Formula One to cook for the team as I didn’t want to leave her after 2 months I spent time looking after her at the hospital in Penang. She passed away 3 days after I lleft Malaysia to join the team! It was so hard to have lost someone who inspired you greatly but you will continue on living your life to celebrate the good and great moments with no regrets and sad things to tag along! ❤️

Dr Soo Wincci, one of OUM’s most celebrated graduates, has surprised everyone yet again with her decision to pursue another PhD.
Some have called her crazy, but according to Dr Soo, studying, researching and reading journals are food for her brain. “I love learning so much that I am always craving for more. This is the reason I decided to go to Spain for another master’s degree and PhD. “You know what’s funny? The university in Spain took months to accept me for the PhD programme because they thought I was a scammer for having so many credentials,” shares Dr Soo with a laugh.
She is currently pursuing a PhD in Artistic Production at Berklee College of Music in Valencia. She previously obtained a Master in Music and completed a Post-Master’s Degree Fellowship programme from the same institution. In 2016, she obtained a PhD (Business Administration) from OUM.
Last year, Dr Soo made it into the Malaysia Book of Records once again for the most number of academic degrees obtained by a beauty queen and a recording artist. “I want to achieve a lot of things and I believe I can do it all through education. It’s the best way to earn recognition.” She admits that academic research did not interest her in the beginning: “I used to hate it. But I grew fond of it while studying for my PhD at OUM. The full support I received from lecturers and staff throughout the years helped me realise my potential.” She has been in the music industry for so long and the dream of getting a scroll in music pushed her to take a chance in Spain. “I hope I can spread my wings in music production in Spain as the music industry there is huge,” says Dr Soo, who is also learning Spanish.
Apart from making regular trips to Spain, the beauty queen is busy giving talks at universities, recording television shows and producing videos for her YouTube channel. “I love giving talks to university students because I want to encourage them to do their doctorate. In today’s challenging world, even a master’s degree is pretty common nowadays. So if you want to be unique, why not pursue a PhD?” she says.
