Charitable Ella Treats Old Lady to a Meal
[2009.03.25]

Ella from S.H.E certainly had a very kind heart. Last Saturday she took the initiative to help an old lady at Yong-Kang Street. This charitable incident was posted in a blog entry by someone who witnessed the act and was moved by it. When Ella was interviewed about it on March 24th, she said with some embarrassment: [This is such an insignificant matter that it is not worth mentioning. If you want to do good deeds, don’t be shy about it, just do it.]

Bystander Lending a Helping Hand
She Turn out to be…


According to the blog, that evening in a side alley near Yong-Kang Park, there was an old lady slowly pushing a cart heavily loaded with recycled materials and causing traffic congestion behind her. Suddenly there was a passer-by who wanted to help the old lady but was refused. It was then that the witness realized in surprise that the passer-by was Ella.

Yet that was not the end of the story as Ella and the old lady were destined to cross path again. Ella shared that she saw the old lady as she was on her way home after exercising that day. After she was refused, Ella went to buy a ticket for a charity lottery. At that point, the old lady appeared again and said: [Kindhearted miss, good luck in winning a prize.] The old lady continued: [You are such a nice person. You have money to buy the lottery but even for a meal, I don’t have any money.]

Also Donate to Charity $20 Spare Change

Ella immediately expressed: [Grandmother (common way to call an old lady) , how about if I treat you to a meal?] This time the old lady agreed. Because she was going to exercise, therefore she did not have her purse with her. After buying the lottery ticket, she only had $100 on her. After she purchased food for the old lady, she then donated the $20 spare change that was left over into the [Bread of Love] saving box for which she was the spokesperson, [That was a pretty fulfilling day.]

S.H.E have revealed that Hebe will release a solo album! According to this week's , S.H.E's recording company HIM is intending on letting Hebe release her own album. Before the new year, many lyricists and composers received invitations from HIM to help Hebe collect songs and towards this, HIM confirmed: "We will help each of them do some planning, they will fly solo but won't disband."

According to staff members who have worked with S.H.E, they said that the three girls each have their own strengths; Selina is sweet, Ella is neutral and Hebe is the best singer. The producers will always arrange for her to sing the most difficult parts in each song.

Yuan Wei Jen from has watched the girls grow up and 4 years ago, said that Hebe will be the first one to fly solo from S.H.E. Now, he still holds the same view: "Whether it is singing skills, sound quality, she is the one with the most personal characteristics, she is also a very hard-working singer." As for whether he has received a song invitation from HIM? He is unable to reveal, due to commercial
confidentiality.

[20.2.09]Formed together for 8 years, SHE has rumours of disbanding...

S.H.E Rumored to Disband after Eight Years
Hebe Ready to Release Solo Album
[2009.02.20]

It had been eight years since the formation of female top group S.H.E. Not only did the trio has brilliant success in the music world, they also achieved good results when they crossed over to the realms of drama and hosting. Although from time to time, there would be rumors of disbanding but the rumors were always firmly denied by them. However, recently there had been reports claiming that HIM Records was planning to produce a specially tailored album for Hebe and currently it was already at the song collecting stage. It seemed that S.H.E would not be able to avoid the fate of each going her own way.

In the eight years since they entered showbiz, each of S.H.E’s albums had beautiful results on the charts. The three of them were also very brave in meeting the challenges of the different realms. Selina had become the best candidate to be substitute host whenever a female host had to take maternal leave. Other than substitute hosting for Xiao S in Kang Xi Lai Le, right now she was also temporary taken over the hosting duties of Matilda Tao in [College Students, Are You Ready?] Ella crossing over into the drama circle was just as brilliant. After her first attempt in [The Rose], she also received high praises when she collaborated with Wu Chun in [Hana-Kimi]. Hebe also took on the challenge of acting in [Bull Fighting] and even penned the lyrics for a song in its OST.

From understanding, S.H.E was close in age and had similar entry into showbiz. Thus the three became such close friends that no topic would be off limits. Not only would they exchange private thoughts and feelings, they were also each other’s emotional support. Two years ago, an EP was released by Ella in remembrance of her deceased pet [Qiang Qiang] with all the proceeds donated to the Shelter for Homeless Animals. Ella was deeply touched when Selina and Hebe attended the event. The sister-like relationship between the three was truly touching.

The relationship of Selina, Hebe and Ella was so solid that even if one of them had an occasional solo project, it still would not conflict with their singing career. There was never any hint of competitiveness between them. However according to an article in [China Times Weekly], HIM Records had already started to collect song for Hebe since before the Lunar New Year and thus the news of Hebe going solo. Yuan Wei-Ren, the record producer for S.H.E in the early days when they first started, expressed: [Hebe is the first one from S.H.E that can go solo.] To this day, Yuan Wei-Ren still maintained his opinion that out of the three, Hebe was still the singer with the most unique quality.

In an online discussion thread started by netizens [If S.H.E go solo, which one would you support?], Hebe had a slight lead in votes currently. The reason was that she was pretty and had the best singing ability but there were also many fans who voted against in hopes of S.H.E never to disband. However, if Hebe was truly going solo, then she would be the first member of the three to release an independent album of her own. In that case, S.H.E who had always emphasized that they would not disband, in the end, still would face the destiny of each going her own way. To this, HIM Records frankly admitted that [they have different plans for each of them] but fans could rest assured that the spirit of [going solo without disbanding] would still be maintained.

[21.2.09]Yoga Lin performs in Singapore for the first time

Yoga Lin’s First Concert in Singapore
S.H.E Came to Snatch Away Fans
[2009.02.21]

Yoga Lin held his Trick concert in the Singapore Indoors Stadium last night and ended his concert tour on a successful note with 7000 fans.


Last night, Yoga was in great form, from sing songs such as [The Gaze], [Sorry, Thank you], [Laying in Your Closet] to 1980, 1990 golden oldies like [Green Apple Orchard], [Not Every Love Affair Has Beautiful Memories] and [Loving You Never Stop]. The fans’ excitement kept climbing in time with Yoga’s every movement.

The appearance of one of his guest performers, S.H.E, pushed the excitement of the concert to a climax. S.H.E’s popularity and reputation of being a Heavenly Group made Yoga admitted frankly: [There had never been any guest that can make me as nervous as this. I know that many people came today are here to see them.]

After performing [Miss Universe] and [I Love Trouble], Ella issued a challenge to her junior: [You know why we would come and be your guest performers? Because we know that Yoga has a lot of fans. We are here to snatch them away!] In order to avoid any internal strife, Selina immediately said: [Don’t use the word snatch. We are here to give everyone another choice.]

Not to show any weakness, Yoga retorted: [Thank you very much to S.H.E but I will show my best to secure my fans!] and brought everyone to laughter.

Although S.H.E issued a challenge, but in the next turn when they sang [Super Star] with him, Selina and Ella started to “tempt” Yoga. Originally Selina wanted to sexily entice Yoga by hooking her hand around him but perhaps because she caught Yoga’s stiff expression, she could not refrain from laughing and almost was not able to continue singing. Ella lifted up one of her beautiful leg in front of Yoga, although she did not end up laughing, but the effect was more funny than sexy.

The other guest performer Olivia Ong sang one of her own song as well as a duet with Yoga and received warm applause from his fans.

The concert finally ended after two encores.

From Start to End
Endless Thanks from Yoga

Although he sang the Aaron Kwok classic [Loving You Never Stop] in the concert, but perhaps the song he wanted to sing was [Thanking You Never Stop].

From the start of the concert to the end, Yoga thanked his fans and the musicians no less than ten times. Near the end, other than giving thanks, he also gave a 90 degree bow and demonstrated to his deep appreciation towards his fans.

Before the concert started, through a VCR, Yoga had described his love and confusion towards music. During the concert, he also mentioned several times about his “unease”, [I often worry that people don’t know what I am talking about….I will try hard….]

However the enthusiasm of the fans last night deeply touched him: [Thank you for everyone’s support. This is all support from the heart, I can feel it.]

Concert Tour Ended
Yoga Lin: Very Satisfied!

The Singapore concert was the last stop of the Trick Concert Tour. After the concert, Yoga expressed that ending this concert tour on such a successful note in Singapore made him very happy!

When asked if he would miss it, he answered: [No because it was perfect. I did my best to sing today so I feel very satisfied.] The enthusiasm of the fans also touched him, [Actually I really wanted to sing until midnight but I worry that there might be a penalty.]

Yoga revealed that he enjoyed the feeling of jamming with the musicians on stage very much, [In the future when I have more of my own creations, I hope to be able to have more interactions with the musicians.]

Twins are coming back during this second half of the year! Their manager replied, ‘The two will come back to reform Twins and release their Chinese album during this second half of the year.’ They wish to claim back the Taiwan and Mainland China market. Ah Sa will be releasing her album during the first half of the year, and Ah Jiao will come back after resting for a year or so. Twins will give a more [mature look] for their new album.

However, Twins’ rival, S.H.E will be going on their separate ways to film their works or host during the first half of the year. The trio expressed that they are beginning to prepare for their new album, as well as their 3rd concert world tour which will include their new album. At the moment, several idol drama and movie scripts were coming in, at the second half of the year, they will concentrate on their new album and their concert world tour.

Since Twins are coming back, they have been approached by many advertising companies to endorse several products like skincare, drinks, etc. Their manager replied, ‘everything are being discussed at the moment. Ah Jiao will be concentrating on endorsements and movies, while Ah Sa will be releasing her new album.

S.H.E is also on the victory. At the beginning of the year, they renewed their contract for endorsements like female footwear, milk, clothing, accessories, dental, mouthwash, etc, endorsement fees are about $5000000. They are still very good in attracting money. Recently, S.H.E even signed on a new contract for online TV plan. H.I.M expressed that there are also endorsements for potato chips, fruit juice and they are still in the process of negotiating.

From what we know, Twins are confirmed to be releasing their new album during this second half of the year. They will continue to look for the producer from Taiwan for their new album. S.H.E will also invite Mayday, Kenji Wu, Kahlil Fang Da Tong for a music collaboration. Both companies expressed, this is a friendly competition, when there is a competition, there is an improvement.

[01.01.09] S.H.E Prepared Snacks for Travels, Ella Addicted to Hair-Plucking

Note: Please credit wyn0602 of CEFC for translation of article and do not edit any parts of this article. Please quote this translated article (including this note) in its entirety. Thank you for your co-operation.

S.H.E Prepared Snacks for Travelling
Ella Addicted to Hair-Plucking
[2009.01.01]





It had been three years since S.H.E celebrated the New Year in Taiwan. Yesterday, from Taipei to Tainan, they had prepared a full box of snacks, including crackers and instant noodles so that they could replenish their energy at all times. Ella even carried a pincher with her and helped to pluck Selina’s eyebrows on the spot!

Recently Ella got interested in DIY such as plucking hair, picking pimples and even cutting hair. Her make-up artist gave her a pincher with light bulbs which she was showing off to everyone excitedly. She boasted that her handiwork was good and can help pluck unwanted hair for others whenever she had a bit of spare time during travelling. She even spent NTW$ 2000 to purchase a complete set of scissors. Both Selina and Hebe’s dogs became subjects of her experiments. Hebe was quite satisfied with the results but Selina complained: [My Pinky ended up looking like an old soldier with fluffy hair on the body but a crew cut on her head!]

While Hebe was singing [Chinese Words] during the New Year countdown show, the top of her white dress accidentally slipped and was struck on her black belt. Luckily she had a silver T-shirt on the inside and did not expose herself. But it was still quite embarrassing. As soon as she finished the song, she immediately rushed backstage to fix her clothes before going back onstage again.

[28.12.08] S.H.E Recalled Experience of Fooled by Ringtone

S.H.E Recalled Experience of Fooled by Ringtone
Listed Mainland Artist They Most Wanted to Work With
[2008.12.28]




On December 28th, top singers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China gathered at the Workers’ Sports Center in Beijing for the 2008 Wireless Music Award. Backstage, Sina interviewed S.H.E.

All three members of S.H.E indicated that they liked using ringtones. Most of their ringtones were their own songs and they would request their families and staff members to use ringtones to promote their songs. Ella said: [The ringtone my father uses is the song I wrote “Wifey”. I feel so happy each time I call and hear this song. My own ringtones are “Face to Face” by Sandy Lam, and our own “Say you Love Me”.] Hebe’s ringtone was a song by Norah Jones because she liked the feeling of jazz music. Selina’s ringtone was “Still Would Be Lonely”.

Ella even described an interesting experience on the spot: [I have a good friend who uses a very funny ringtone that says “Hello, I am Jay Chou” and it really was Jay Chou’s voice. It made me wonder every time why it would be Jay’s voice. Actually it was from a recording my friend had made and even though I knew that, but I still was fooled each time.]

When asked if they would like to collaborate with artists from mainland China, S.H.E expressed that there were many mainland Chinese artists that they liked. Selina said she had paid special attention to Chen Chu-sheng, really admired his vocals and all aspects of his talent and felt that his singing sounded very nice. Hebe said that she liked Jane Zhang Liang-ying’s voice and kept praising that [Drawing Heart] was a really good song. Hebe revealed that she most wanted to be able to collaborate with Faye Wong, however, she did not know whether such a chance would still be possible. Ella said that she most wished to collaborate with Han Hong: [Her vocal range is very high and mine is very low, so the effect would be very interesting. Selina had previously collaborated with Leehom Wang. If in mainland China, we most wanted to work with Anson Hu Yan Bin, because we are very good friends with Anson Hu, know him very well, so well that we call him “Little Bin Bin”.]

Hummer coming to Singapore soon

Hummer coming to Singapore soon

By Tony Ng




Second time lucky. The wait has been long for Hummer enthusiasts in Singapore.

The much talked about Hummer H3 has finally been approved by the Land Transport Authority.

The Hummer H3 has already attracted buyers even though there are no test drives available - due to the fact that the stock is still "in the Customs."

Mr Shawn Lim , a sales consultant for CyberCars said, "People have already placed orders for the Hummer H3 Luxury."

According to Mr Lim, some of these buyers are Jeep owners who are looking to buy a second car.

The Hummer H3 fits the bill as as purebred SUV (sports utility vehicle).

Mr Lim said, "The SUV is capable of both handling both urban and off-road terrain with its four-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive."

At the heart of the H3 stands a 3.7litre inline five-cyclinder engine that produces 242bhp.

Maximum torque stands at 328Nm at 5600rpm. Fuel consumption is rated at 5km/L.

However, all these numbers do not matter. From what we gleamed, the Hummer bewitches through its looks.

Mr Lim said, "Most customers are people who want something different on the road."

Which rings true - the masculinity of the smallest off-roader of the Hummer models stands out like a refreshing beacon in our MPV-ed (multi-purpose vehicles) roads.

And for some, that seems to be worth it. Even with a one-year wait.

Ella Put Friendship to Test by Passing Gas
S.H.E Played and Argued Without Holding Grudges
[2008.12.20]



Regardless of being friends or lovers, splitting up after together for a long time is something that happens all the time but the chances of this situation happening to Taiwanese girl group S.H.E is extremely slim. Hebe, Selina and Ella had been working together for nearly eight years. Their relationship was solid. There had never been any news of friction or splitting up. The relationship between the three was closer than that between actual siblings. Earlier when they were interviewed by this newspaper in Hong Kong, a very funny moment occurred when Ella was unable to refrain from passing gas and scaring her partners into jumping away immediately. They also made a pact that no matter which one of them was getting married, the other two would be bridesmaids but could not steal the limelight away from the bride.

Taiwanese pop group S.H.E earlier granted an exclusive interview with this reporter and the interview took place midst noisy clamoring and loud arguments. The active Ella kept making faces without ever stopping for a moment. When the photographer requested Hebe and Selina to sit slightly to the back of the bed and Ella sitting in the front row, Hebe and Selina suddenly screamed and jumped away. It turned out that Ella who was sitting in front of them passed gas and caught them unprepared!

Ella did not show any repentance and even said in a loud voice: [I tried to hold it in but in the end, I couldn’t hold it, so I just let it go. You guys said that withholding gas is not good for the body. There is no smell now, so come back here for the pictures.] Afterwards, Hebe and Selina returned to their original position to continue taking pictures while scolding Ella all the while. Less than 30 seconds later, the three were giggling and playing around again.

Although S.H.E had been together for nearly eight years and they probably saw each other more than they saw their own families, but they had never quarrel, their relationship was like sisters and if there was any dissatisfaction or unhappiness, they would talk about it right away – That was how S.H.E got along with each other all these years. Selina said proudly: [That’s why there has never been any news of friction between us or wanting to go solo all these year. Because our relationship is that tight that basically it is not possible to have any news about us having friction. The three of us are like family and there is no holding grudges with family.]

When asked since S.H.E saw each other so often, would they ever get tired of it? Ella quickly answered: [Definitely not. Each day we have topics that we can never finish talking about. No matter how nonsensical the topic may be, we can still discuss for a whole day without getting bored. Sometimes, even topics such as the color of poo, the texture of it, whether we passed gas today, what are the bad effects of holding gas can get us start talking.]


Promised to be Bridesmaid

Hebe expressed that both partners are the best presents from heaven, she said: [Having work is already a happy thing. People should learn to be satisfied with what they have. Everyday cannot be perfect but our work is our interest. S.H.E can be together is a very wonderful thing.]

S.H.E revealed that they had a pact between them and that was regardless which one was the first to get marry, the other two would be her bridesmaids. However there was one rule that must be followed and that was the bridesmaids must not be dressed too sexy. Grabbing the limelight away from the bride was not allowed.

Favorites Are Good-Looking Guys and Muscle Man

S.H.E each sketched on a piece of drawing paper what they would considered as the ideal mate. The first considerations of Ella were good personality and good-looking; Hebe seek a humorous and kind soulmate; and Selina liked muscle men.

The first condition that Ella listed in choosing a mate was good personality that can make people feel comfortable. The second condition was good looks. She said laughingly: [Most important is that he must be pleasing to my eyes. Of course, it would be even better if he is good looking but I don’t like younger than me. Slightly older would be a bit better. Because we have seen too much and developed faster than other people, men who are slightly more mature would be better. Too young would lack that tacit understanding. One more point is my boyfriend must be accepted by my circle of friends. Unfortunately, up to now, this Mr. Right still has not appeared.]


Earlier it was mentioned that when Ella was recording [Highway Exit by the Sea], she was reminded of her rumored boyfriend Baron Chan and broke down in tears. Ella expressed that it was a misunderstanding. She emphasized that she and Baron Chan were only friends.


In Hebe’s list of romantic rumors, the name that showed up for the longest time was probably Jay Chou. She said in resignation: [I really don’t even remember how the romantic rumor with him got started. I think it was when I went travelling to England and coincidentally he was also there to film his MV. The newspaper claimed someone saw us going together but I did not even see him once during the whole time when I was in England. Even in Taiwan, we don’t see each other much. He is a busy man.]

[I hope my other half would be humorous, kind, good looking and can be my eternal soulmate. The ones I encountered before were not good enough, either humorous but not kind enough or good-looking but not humorous enough. The good points are always found separately, so we never got together.]


Selina’s recent rumored boyfriend was the lawyer Richard Chang but she did not acknowledge him as her boyfriend. She said: [He is a friend introduced to me by another friend. We would share meals together. I pray each day to find my destined one but there is no point forcing the issue. I can only let it occur naturally.]

Upon careful examination of the ideal boyfriend that Selina sketched, it turned out to be a muscle man. She explained: [The guy must have wide shoulders for me to lean against and a brilliant smile as well.]

[19.12.08] Fahrenheit arrived in Singapore last night; 300 fans crazily chase

Translated by catalie @ http://asianfanatics.net Please credit this source if you transferred elsewhere, thanks

Illegally entering the departure area, hired cars to chase, staying at their hotel, 300 fans welcome them enthusiastically at the airport! Last night Fahrenheit arrived in Singapore; Wu Chun felt unwell but still smiled towards fans while Jiro was ecstatic and was busytaking photos!

Yesterday "Popular idol group" Fahrenheit took flight SQ877 at night fall from Taipei to the Lion City [i.e. Singapore]. In the morning, at Changi Airport the area for awaiting arrivals no. 2 had been completely empty but as Fahrenheit's arrival in Singapore approached, more and more fans appeared there until 7:15 - the moment when Fahrenheit appeared in public, then there were about 300 fans there. The place was filled with continuous screaming but the fans welcoming them seemed to be less than before. A fan was interviewed and said, "They were meant to arrive on Thursday [today], but suddenly changed their schedule so many fans weren't aware."

Last month Fahrenheit "three less one", came to Singapore to promote their concert. At the time, because Jiro Wang's (Dadong) leg injury had not yet recovered, had to be absent at the event at the last minute. Last night, fangirls from Dadong's Singapore Forum "Dong Cheng Rise Again" rushed to the airport to get a good "Feng Shui position". With flowers and also large banners, they were very thoughtful and as soon as they saw Dadong, they could not cover up their excitement, screaming from all around!

It was evident that the four Fahrenheit boys were in a good mood; even though they were not dressed up [very formally], they allowed videos and photos. When they walked through the departure gate, Jiro was ecstatic, busily taking photos and talking with nearby "pretty girl" fans. Less than a month since the last time he was here, Arron Yan who has recently been filming seemed considerably skinnier. Yesterday he wore a black, sunglasses and boots - a very cool outfit causing many fans to sigh: so handsome! On the other hand, Wu Chun who is usually very enthusiastic, seemed particularly quiet and shy. "Chun is not feeling too well, headache. So his condition isn't too good, but the other three are feeling great."

Also, it was reported that in one breath, Fahrenheit fans over 10 taxis pursuing their idols all the way to the hotel. In particular, a few fans even checked-in at the hotel, in the hopes that they would be able to "interact all day" with the four guys!

Fahrenheit return to hotel and eat lots

Before the concert, they don't go on a special diet; once Fahrenheit returned to the hotel, the workers were busy buying food: chicken rice, laksa, pizza, etc.

Tomorrow night will be their first concert here in Singapore and it is reported that besides attending an exclusive event today, they will start rehearsing for the concert. Usually a singer will "forbid certain foods" and go on a particular diet before a concert, but Fahrenheit has come to the Lion City "fine food heaven" so obviously they can't resist the enticing fine food here. Very early in the morning they already ordered food: chicken rice, laksa, pizza, char kuey teow and so on!

Furthermore, when they arrived in Singapore yesterday, Wu Chun who is known for his love of food, received cake and snacks from many of his caring fans; ever since he cut his hair short, Calvin has been receiving caps the most and last night was no exception. As to Arron's fans, their gifts were all very creative and yesterday a fan gave him a pillowcase with his portrait on it!

10 fans entered the boarding area illegally

Since the lawsuit that took place when Jay Chou fans bought plane tickets to enter the boarding area but did not board the plane, yesterday again about 10 fans did the same thing in order to get closer to Fahrenheit.

More and more crazy actions of fans are emerging following last year when two fans in order to catch a glimpse of their idol Jay Chou's elegance, did not hesitate to challenge the law and purchased a one-way plane ticket to Kuala Lumpur so that they could enter the boarding area but not get on the plane, instead walking in to meet Jay. They were caught and arrested by airport police as well as immigration and customs officials, bringing a lawsuit against them for entering a protected area; in the end they were fines $1000.

Yesterday, again there were Fahrenheit "pretty girl" fans who did the same thing; it is reported that there were about 10 of them who bought plane tickets but did not register, just so that they could be in close proximity of Fahrenheit in the restricted area and give them gifts, etc. The promoter also said, "Fans are very well-mannered; when they see Fahrenheit they'll ask first: 'Can I shake your hand?'" On the way, fans managed to talk with the four guys. Some were holding "Dadong" banners, some were enthusiastically walking beside Fahrenheit and departing with them.

Under the laws of the conservation district, anyone who enters unauthorised, can be fined $1000 or face up to 2 years in prison, or both.

Tomorrow afternoon's poster exchange event; fans plan to line up very early

Tomorrow Fahrenheit's poster exchange event will begin at 3pm and fans plan to start lining up at 7am.

In order to reward Singaporean fans for their support, the music company will be holding an exchange event for limited Fahrenheit posters. As long as fans have their preorder receipts for Fahrenheit's new album "Loving More and More", and their Fahrenheit Fantasy Lion City concert entrance tickets, they will be able to exchange for a large limited edition poster. It is reported that the hosting company has not hesitated to print about 2000 posters.

Yesterday at the airport a fan expressed that even though the exchange event will start tomorrow at 3pm, Dadong's fans plan to get seats at 7am, "This is nothing! Last time that had an event at IMM, we lined up one week before!"

Presenting rock feel for the first time, heavy locomotive was used to sprint forward

Poor economy also has to spend happily
HIM targets the market with coupons

2008 can be considered a very important and rewarding year for Fahrenheit, besides the outstanding performance in dramas including ‘They Kiss Again’, ‘Rolling Love’, ‘Pi Li MIT’, ‘Butterfly Lovers’ etc, there is also major improvement in the music segment, their second album ‘2FACE’ released at the beginning of 08 got the 2nd spot in the first half album sales, for the second half of the year they trained hard and successfully held their ‘Fahrenheit’s Fantasy World Tour’, in September they had 2 sold-out concerts in Hong Kong, this month they will also complete the concert in Singapore and Beijing.

And this album ‘Loving More and More’ besides carrying on the signature dance numbers in the previous two albums, this album also specially added in more rock feel, the whole album can be said to be manly, the direction of such an album can be said to be the most suitable change as they grow up in the three years of forming the group. The production date of this album happened to meet their world tour, to let them have enough time for production in the midst of their busiest time, the producers of some songs even chanced after them all the way to Shanghai and Beijing for recording. Fahrenheit also jokingly said that this new album should be called ‘Flying Here and There’ because during the production period they were flying to different cities for performance, the recording of every song was also done at different places, however there is also more time to practice the new songs, during the flight they would take out the DEMO of the new songs to practice, the long flying hours initiated Jiro Wang’s leg injury hence he would listen to the new songs on his mp3 to divert his attention; and Aaron Yan who could not sleep at different cities because he recognizes his bed can only stay in his room every night to listen to songs and practice.

And in ‘Fahrenheit’s Fantasy World Tour’ the four of them have a solo instrumental performance, Jiro Wang is guitar, Aaron Yan shows his piano, Wu Zun practices drums, Calvin Chen is B-BOX, Fahrenheit shows their hard work in music, and because B-BOX don’t need instruments it can be performed anytime, hence Calvin Chen frequently use B-BOX to greet people, always splitting saliva at everyone, hence now everyone sees Calvin Chen they would immediately take out tissue paper to cover for a while. And Wu Zun specially bought a set of drums home to practice, every time after work he would rush home to practice, the crew jokingly said that this set of drums feel like as if it is Wu Zun’s secret lover. This album also use BAND SOUND mood as theme, to suit the music feel, Fahrenheit new style is punk rock, the four of them entered the camera lens with their low-profile stylish new hair colour as well as leather coats, fur and metallic accessories, and Fahrenheit’s new style present a rock feel for the first time, 2 heavy locomotives worth million was specially found for the photo shoot, one is stylish and coquettish, another is retro and classic, hope to show the quiet and moving side which is the quality of cool man, Fahrenheit. And Fahrenheit also jokingly said, “The four of us together with the two wheels of the two heavy locomotives, total there is eight wheels moving, meaning wanting to sprint forward for the new album, hope to be able to win the difficult ‘male’ war in the music industry at the end of the year.” (Because year end is the males releasing the album, Stanley Huang, Fang Da Tong, Show Luo, Wang Leehom)

During the Chinese New Year the government will be giving everyone a spending coupon of NT3600, record company also shouted a slogan “Buy good albums to have good mood”, to attack the coupon market specially launched a limited number of ‘Fahrenheit Coupons Blessing Pouch’, the pouch which can only be purchased with the coupons will have other merchandise besides the album, there would be the NT500 and NT700 bags so fans do keep a look out.

New Law Banning Smoking Soon to be Launched
S.H.E Becomes Ambassadors against Smoking
[2008.12.02]

The new law for banning smoking will be coming into effect starting January 11, 2009. This will formally pave the way to a [Smoke-Free Taiwan]. Yesterday, S.H.E accepting the invitation from the Tung’s Foundation to be Ambassadors against Smoking, filmed a public service TV announcement against smoking and loudly urged everyone: [Smoke-Free Taiwan, Yes, We Can!]


The new law that will be in effect starting next January is a strict regulation for banning smoking in indoor public areas and workplaces. Yesterday, as Ambassadors Against Smoking, S.H.E participated into the [2009 All Citizens for a Smoke-Free Taiwan] function and filmed a public service TV announcement to promote the new law. Health Minister Ye Jin-chuan made a special visit to the studio to thank S.H.E for taking time out from their busy schedule to film the public service announcement.

Ye Jin-chuan indicated that according to studies by the National Health Ministry, the exposure rate to second-hand smoke at the workplace in 2007 was 34.5%. Although this number seemed to have decreased when compared to the 38.6% in 2005, there was still much room for improvement. In 2007, the exposure rate to second-hand smoke at indoor public areas was 34.9%. In other words, when in the workplace or at indoor public areas, on average, each person is exposed to second-hand smoke one out of every three times.

Selina indicated that because of work, she traveled through airports frequently and often saw a group of people lighting up and puffing away in the smoking lounge. Her first instinct was that the behavior was basically suicidal. Many people started to quit smoking only when they aged and beginning to have health problems. She hoped that the young people of today would take the warning to heart because if they do not start to smoke, then they would not have to experience all that.

Hebe and Ella also said that since childhood, they were trained to be cigarette police. Hebe was responsible for reminding her father not to smoke. She even hid a whole carton of her father’s cigarettes or threw them away. Finally she convinced her father to leave the addiction behind. Ella also often reminded her father and her younger brother about the harmful effects of smoking. Her father was not able to withstand her constant lectures and eventually was successful in kicking the smoking habit. As for her younger brother, he too was in the process of quitting smoking.

Veteran media personality Chao Yi generously donated to the plan for [2009 All Citizen for a Smoke-Free Taiwan] because his brother’s passing from cancer. As an ex-nicotine addict, he indicated that the new ban against smoking was actually a blessing because smokers would no longer be like him who waited until his health was threatened before realizing the importance of quitting smoking. Now smokers would be encourage to quit smoking through regulations and general censure.

The chairman of Tung’s Foundation indicated that globally there are already 69 countries or regions that have a policy for a [smoke-free environment] in place. Through several years of hard work from the Tung’s Foundation and other organizations in pushing for legislative changes, finally led to Taiwan to put into effect the law for a [Indoor Smoke-Free Environment] starting next January, thus, bringing Taiwan in line with international practices.

Lifetime volunteer Sun Yue pointed out that it had been 24 years since he became involved in the [Everyone Has a Right to Refuse Exposure to Second-Hand Smoke] movement back in 1984. Finally he was able to witness Taiwan’s new ban against smoking coming into effect next year. It would be a big step forward for a [Smoke-Free Environment]. He was gratified to see that from the entertainment world, the involvement of the younger generation such as S.H.E who worked tirelessly to promote the harmful effects of smoking. Hopefully each citizen would demonstrate similar spirit and progress towards a [Smoke-Free Taiwan] for the future.

Fahrenheit likes to look good, Wu Zun (from left), Jiro Wang, Aaron Yan and Calvin Chen (front) loves to play game of changing hair style.

Fahrenheit replaced Takuya Kimura to be the new China area endorser for famous hair styling product ‘GATSBY’. Although the earnings of these 4 guys of RMB3,500,000 (around NT$17,000,000) is lesser than Takuya Kimura’s NT$26,000,000, but Jiro Wang is still very happy, because he always sees Takuya Kimura as his idol, and even hope to have the chance to work with him in the future.

Stylist is the happiest

After Fahrenheit accepted the hair stray endorsement, the happiest person is their hair stylist, because the four of them loves to look good, the hair stylist praised and said, “Fahrenheit’s usage of hair spray is 10 times of the normal artistes!”

From known, there was once they shot a drink commercial and had to ride the bicycle with helmets, after the shot finished, their hair style was sill as before when they remove the helmets, from here we can see how much hair spray they use; Fahrenheit also admitted when the 4 of them gather together for events they will used up 2 bottles of hair spray in a day. Every time they got on the car, they will keep spraying hair spray, causing the crew to be afraid of getting poisoned and rushed to get down the car.

Batman died?

Previously I was reading Perez Hilton as usual. And I came across this article on Batman. It was rumored that Batman might be killed or he just simply retire. And now Perez Hilton has gave us the answer.

Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert!

If you don't want to know who kills Bruce Wayne in the most recent issue of the Batman comic book stop reading now!!

We mentioned that Bruce Wayne was going to meet his end as Batman in the new issue of the comic book.

He did not 'retire' as some speculated he would.

Bruce was killed by a man named Simon Hurt who posed as his thought-to-be deceased daddy.

Hurt is actually the leader of the 'shady' Black Glove organisation.

Simon claims to Bruce/Batman that he's Dr. Thomas Wayne. He told the caped crusader that he faked his own death when Bruce was a child.

Batman apparently dies when he tries to stop the faux dad from escaping by helicopter.

Story writer Grant Morrison said, “This is so much better than death. People have killed characters in the past but to me, that kind of ends the story! I like to keep the story twisting and turning. So what I am doing is a fate worse than death. Things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all. This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman."

But, Batman will carry on.

One of the guys who acted as boy wonder, Robin, will probably take over.

Guess we'll all just have to wait and see!

And so, Batman really died in the last episode of the Batman comic. Since Batman is dead in this comic, then what about Batman in the future that I watched on previously Kids Central? I mean, a new Batman arrives that looks skinny and young.

It does not matter. I prefer Superman instead and I do not know why, so do not ask me for the reason.

It is tomorrow! Tomorrow will be a happy day, hopefully.
