Hebe's $30,000,00 New Home Revealed

Hebe’s $30,000,000 New Home Revealed

Since 2005, Ella and Selina became property-owners successively. Until last year, Hebe also purchased a new house. With her low profile, if she was not captured on camera by reporters, she would probably still keep mum about her house-owner status.

Having purchased a new house for her family and keeping hush for a year, she was proud when probed, “I am super low profile! But since you all discovered it, there is no need to keep it a secret anymore.”

She is currently staying alone as her parents are in Xing Zhu. However they would visit her occasionally. “I always wanted a place in Taipei so that my family can live more comfortably when they visit me.” The locality of her new place is accessible and quite safe, but it was not her ideal. “Actually this district is not my prime choice. I actually wanted to purchase a place near Shi Da road, and be Ella’s neighbor. However the property prices soared too quickly. The price of the initial house that I wanted rose by $10,000,000 within a year, and I could only give it up as I could not bear to buy it.”

The trio shared the same ambition. They had stayed together in a girls’ dormitory when they first entered the entertainment industry. However the trio is concerned about their family and would always put their family’s welfare before themselves. Now, being proud property-owners, their main reason is really still for the sake of taking better care of their family. Among the trio, Ella is the first to own a house. She felt that it would offer a sense of security and save her the hassle of moving every other year. She explained, “One reason is that I really have too many things at home. It is very troublesome to move them around; hence getting a house would be more stable.” She added, property investment is considered one of the more stable ventures. “Despite property prices falling, compared to stocks and shares, the risks are still relatively lower!” Given Ella’s shrewd acumen, she definitely does not appear like just another pop idol-singer. She analyzed further from a professional viewpoint, “I thought, rather than paying rent to another person monthly, it would be better for me to be paying off the installment for the house instead. At the end of the installment payments, the house would be mine. Won’t that be more worth the while?” Her thinking also influenced S and H subsequently. 2 years ago, S spent $20,000,000 in Tian Mu to buy a place for her family and subsequently, a smaller apartment in Jian Guo Bei Road. However she only got the house this year and was even spotted by the media when she meet her new boyfriend there. In the twinkle of the eye, S has already become the proud owner of 2 houses. She shared that her father advised the trio to invest in property; as regardless of property prices, they could still use the property to earn rental.

The trio shares a closely knitted relationship and hopes to become neighbors. But Ella said, “It’s a pity that we each have our own considerations - preferences and needs when it comes to choosing a house. It is difficult to find the ideal house that meets all our requirements.” Ella requires a large house in view of her big family. On the contrary, Selina prefers a smaller place as she is timid and afraid of ghosts, especially if the place is too big. Meanwhile, Hebe has simpler requirements in choosing a house.

Even before their thirties, the trio already owned houses. Each of them has different likings, such as Ella prefers a large hall so that everyone could gather around to catch up or watch television programmes together. As her family runs a restaurant, H prefers to a beautiful and functional kitchen. As for Selina, she prefers a house fully equipped with convenient functions.

When on the topic of houses, the trio could not hide their excitement just like if they were addicted to purchasing houses and were planning to invest further on property. S said, “There is a sense of achievement when you see your family living comfortably.” She even fantasized, “I think there is a place that fits all our bill. It is Di Bao*! Each of us will have one mansion and we can live together!”

New Look in Selina’s Fringe Brings Unexpected Good Luck in Gambling

Known for her favorite pastime to play mahjong, S has been on a winning streak since she had her new haircut. Even she was stunned at her good luck!

Since entering the industry, she always maintained her long hair without fringe. But during her recent trip to Hang Zhou, while in transit at Hong Kong, she purchased a Japanese fashion magazine and was tempted to follow a Japanese model’s hairstyle. Despite her rush and packed schedule in Hang Zhou, she insisted for her hairstylist to trim her fringe accordingly before performing.

Different from Hebe’s girlish fringe look, Selina’s new fringe look has a more layered feel with a touch of sexiness and maturity. She said proudly, “Now I am a sexy lady!” She had not counted on her new fringe to bring forth good luck until she played mahjong when back in Taipei. Her streak of 10 straight wins got everyone so stunned that even she felt queasy. Subsequently she continued to win the other 3 parties all the way!

In fact Selina has good luck in gambling all along, even Ella and Hebe said she would win 9 out of 10 times. Therefore the 2 of them do not like to play with her. However Selina’s recent winning streak got herself pleasantly surprised too and she was puzzled. Upon reflecting, she realized, “It must be due to my fringe! I did not change anything else except that, and it’s the first time I encountered such successive wins!” Thus, she was full of praise for her new fringe.

Twilight Trailer

Anyone But You

Anyone But You by Jennifer Crusie. I just picked this book out from the shelves at the National Library, under Adult fiction love story. Hey, I'm 19, so I'm considered an adult. But whatever, most probably during Primary School, Loke has already started reading love novels.

Anyway, it's because of the dog at the cover page, it makes me borrow it without thinking twice. Because, recently I'm so in love with books that has dogs in it. Like [Marley & Me], [the bad dog's diary]. The next book I want would be [Rescue Sprite], [the bad dog's diary (the hard cover copy, the sequel to the book I've read)] and [My life with George]. Nice books~ So if you're thinking of getting my a Christmas Presents, these books I've listed would be the bestest present I've ever receive, that's provided I've not get a copy for myself in the first place.

OK, back to the book.

It all started out where Nina got divorced with her lawyer husband, and visited a pound where she adopted a part basset, part beagle hound. The dog was saved by her before he was to be put to sleep the day after. She named him Fred, brought him home and introduced it to her friend, Charity.

She even taught Fred to walk out the fire escape through the window and back home. Apparently, while Nina was sleeping, Fred entered another man's house by mistake. Alex, the man, brought Fred home and that's where he met Nina.

And the sparks between them grow right from there. The book shows that age doesn't matter as long as two individuals love one another dearly. It also shows that money isn't everything in a relationship for two to be happy together.

The best part was, there's some sex scenes in the book. Nice~

OK, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing was, it's a great book to read. And I'm off to the second book that I've borrowed from the library.

Zac Efron & Lucas Grabeel

No, I have not watch High School Musical 3: Senior Year yet. But I've watched High School Musical 2. What's my opinion was, I prefer Lucas Grabeel than Zac Efron. OK, girls do have their own taste in men.

But one thing I don't understand was, what does the girls sees in Zac Efron other than his looks? Hmm . . .

But I do know one thing is that, my sister said Zac Efron in HSM2 looks like her boyfriend. And I immediately changed my facial expression and has this thought to myself.

ZAC EFRON IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN LOOKING THAN MY SISTER'S BOYFRIEND.

Nope, I don't want to put his name here in case the google it and stumbled onto my blog and sees my lovely photo of Baby and me. But whatever that is, I don't know in the first place if they know of this blog existence. They're homophobic. I can tell.

Anyway, I prefer Lucas Grabeel. Isn't he handsome? I just don't understand why my sister said he's ugly.

Looks aside. I find his character in HSM2 was damn hilarious. His acting was good too. Sad thing was, I didn't get to watch his other film that he acted in, so I can only give my opinion in HSM2. OK, now I can't wait to watch HSM3 since many had said it was nice. Shall ask Baby if she wants to watch this with me. There's dozens of movies that we've missed and I'm fine with it. She's busy working and I'm busy searching for jobs.

I still think Zac Efron is better looking than my sister's boyfriend. Humph.

Because of Hectic Schedule
S.H.E Eats Fast Food for Meals
[2008.10.28 China News]

The Off-screen S.H.E Was as Adorable and Lively as the Girl Next Door

Although they are honored as the number one female group in the Mandarin Chinese music world, but for the last seven years, S.H.E had miraculously maintained an ordinary person attitude without any display of megastar-like haughty manners. Yesterday, they were busy promoting their new album {FM S.H.E} in Shanghai. They were so busy that even meals were dealt with casually during spare moments and the menu that the staff had prepared for them only consisted of McDonald’s chicken wings for lunch and hamburgers from a café for dinner.

Only Jolin Tsai Would be Picky about Food

The travelling schedule in China for promoting this new album {FM S.H.E} was not a long one. The record company had prepared different promotional costumes each day for S.H.E. As a result, the three young ladies were busy changing in and out of clothes each time as they rushed from one job to the next. In comparison to the “big budget” in clothing, the items on the menu of the trio could be described as “meagerly” – If not fast food then it was food from cafés. They had absolutely no time to even try the steamed crabs that were pre-ordered for them in Shanghai and had no choice but to bring them back to Taipei to enjoy later. Selina said: [It is particularly easy to be hungry while working. When we are hungry, we just want to eat. What type of food is not as important] Would they not worried about getting fat eating like this? Ella with an unperturbed expression: [I am pretty fat to begin with anyways.]

Other than the proper meals, each time S.H.E had to travel for promotion duties would also prepare a box of snack food. Inside the box, other than little snacking items such as dried mango, it was filled mostly with instant noodles, which was another supposedly food taboo for artists. However, Hebe said with a mischievous expression: [Only Jolin Tsai would be that picky.] The food items they presented from the snacking box were all necessities to all three of them. Although that did not really looked like a “megastar”, but all three indicated simultaneously: [in the last seven years, we had always taken the road of an ordinary person.]

Answer Each Question As If for the First Time

The secret of the ordinary person attitude of S.H.E was always giving their utmost efforts as if they were newcomers. Almost every promotion staff that had worked with them would agree that they were the easiest artists to work with because they did not require anyone to serve them. Basically they were available whenever needed and always gave 100% in their efforts. Ella said: [In the last seven years, the achievements of S.H.E were never faked. We fought hard for all of it one step at a time. We do our best in each interview and take great pains to answer questions that had been asked hundreds of time as if we were answering for the first time, because that is our work. Only through this hardworking process that S.H.E would feel that we did not cheat our fans.]

There was one detail that was particularly memorable. The new song concert in Taipei, as soon as the performance ended, Ella left the stage and cried with her brother who was part of the production crew for the concert. It turned out that she had some problem with her voice that day. Ella was upset with herself over her poor performance. Unexpectedly, the normally rational Hebe similarly cried over her imperfect performance when she returned home afterwards. [In these seven years, we had set high standards for ourselves. Therefore even if it was only a small mistake, it would still feel like a disappointment to us.]

Plans to Consider Marriage Two Years Later

S.H.E’s ordinary person attitude was also in the fact that no matter how brightly they shine on stage, off stage, they were simply three normal young women. They said that the reason behind presenting the new album in the format of a radio station was hoping to borrow the omnipresent electronic waves to sooth people that had experience pain and suffering this year. Because the stock disaster had caused them to encounter economic losses, so they themselves became “listeners” as well. The three of them were of one mind in indicating that they hoped to be married two years later. Although they did not want to get married too early but they also worried that having children too late would not be good either. With regards to whether S.H.E would still exist after they all married, even they were at a loss themselves.

To the people around them, the three young ladies from S.H.E could unpretentiously express their concern and love. Ella said this reporter: [I once said to our make-up artist that in the future, if you did not get marry and have no children, we would take care of you like family. This is for real. In the future, when we are no longer artists, we would build a big house. Everyone would live together with love and harmony. This is what we truly thought. This is our attitude towards friends.]

Perhaps it was precisely this feeling of being an ordinary person that accumulated such great popularity for S.H.E. As soon as the new album was released, people from neighborhoods in Taipei actually purchased the album on their own and asked the administrator of the region to personally bring the money to them. In times like this, the sight of this truly moved the three of them for a long time.

Old Woman

Interview at Mediacorp was a disaster. I seriously meant it, especially with an interviewer face as black as the sky and as old as erm, just old. I was feeling so damn nervous since last night, photocopied my documents as the e-mail said. But the most angry part was . . .

Micky: So do I need to show/give you my photocopied certificates?
Old Woman: Don't have to, you're just here for an interview and you're not confirm as a staff here yet.

OK lohx, typical aunty. So that ends my interview for the day. After the interview, I think my mother-in-law is so much nicer and cuter although I still find her fierce. Nope, I'm not comparing my mother-in-law with that old woman. It's just that I met someone fiercer than mother-in-law that's all.

So, I shall job search as usual while learning a little of photoshop. *happy*

I'm thinking of buying a photo album, and print all the edited photos of my kids and keep as remembrance. Should I? But it would be a huge investment. Sigh . . .

The book I'm reading is nice.

I've decided, be it my English is good or bad in whatever ways, I'm going to try for the Assistant Editor job. *pray*

Gave up hope on Mediacorp anyway, since to me, I think the interview wasn't a success in my opinion. It doesn't concern of the interviewers, just that I think my performance today wasn't good. Grr . . .

I need to practise on my oral presentation.

[28.10.08] S.H.E in Shanghai Interview Chatting About Being Radio DJs

S.H.E in Shanghai Interview Chatting About Being Radio DJs
Too Straightforward, Angered “Twins”
[2008.10.28]

Although the new album was named [My Station FM S.H.E], it was not expected that the trio would really start a radio station online. In one short month, they welcomed guest stars such as Ah Mei, Chiling Lin, Jay Chou and Cai Kang Yong as well as ignited the “TWINS controversy”. Yesterday, S.H.E granted an interview in Shanghai and chatted about their thoughts on being radio DJs.

Biggest Failure: The First Interview with Ah Mei Was Over-Restrained

S.H.E who normally could talk non-stop, when they became DJs to interview other people, they immediately were at a loss. Ella told this reporter that the first guest star for FM S.H.E was Ah Mei. [That interview, because we were over-restrained, became a “most painful experience”. Because that was the first time, we were very worried that we would not perform up to standard. But, the more worried we were, the less smooth the flow of the interview became, until finally, the whole segment ended up with us kept saying compliments such as “Ah Mei, you are so amazing” and Ah Mei did not have much chances to get a word in edgewise.] Afterwards, all three felt very upset. Hebe even seriously made this conclusion: [Supposedly in a radio program, it should be us that ask the questions and have the guest respond. As the hosts, it should not be us that do the talking ourselves.]

As stars themselves, S.H.E understood what questions could be asked and what questions to avoid. When they were interviewing Chiling Lin, sensitive topics such as romantic rumors would be eliminated from the questions outlined for the interview because as artists themselves, they did not like it when similar questions were posed to them either. [We would take the attitude of a fan in wanting to know things like what food they eat or what would they find troublesome, to let everyone know the private lives of these megastars. More importantly, we hoped to use the radio format to transmit happy and positive information.]

Most Upsetting: Speaking Without Thinking Led to “TWINS Controversy”

The station was launched less than two weeks and S.H.E already experienced the trouble of talking carelessly. That day, Cai Kang Yong was their guest. The trio asked him: In his opinion, which female group was the most popular currently in the Mandarin Chinese music world? When Cai Kang Yong said TWINS, Selina retorted: [Haven’t they disbanded already?] Immediately, this incurred the wrath of TWINS fans and demanded S.H.E to apologize publicly. Yesterday, when this old topic was brought up again, Ella said frankly that at the time, they spoke too quickly without thinking but the media’s exaggeration also made the matter worse, [This incident is a reminder to us that from now on, we should be more careful when we speak, even though our only intention was to make a harmless joke with our guest so that the program would feel more relaxed.]

The truth was, the trio was very relaxed on their radio program, sitting cross-legged, eating snacks and even bringing Selina’s pet dog into the recording studio. Selina said, what the fans love was this feeling of being real, [Some fans wrote to me that while listening to the program, they could not help but trying to guess whether I was eating chicken cutlet or rice with marinated pork.]

Most Outrageous: Irrational Relationship and Refusing Fan’s Song Request

Of the three, Hebe was recognized as the “most reasonable listener”. Her relationship-related segment {Time for Madam XiBi} specifically focused on questions of both sexes. Yesterday when asked if they had even encountered unusual questions, she recalled that one day, there was a fan that was a student who wrote in and said that she fell in love with a married teacher and wanted to keep an ambiguous relationship with him. [I became very angry as soon as I heard this. She even wanted to request the song {Yes, I Love You}. I immediately decided to cut the song and refuse to play it.] Next to her, Ella also indicated angrily that, at that moment she really wanted to call up the school principal of the fan so that this irrational relationship would end as soon as possible.

This reporter found out that this “online radio station” was only a try-out to coordinate with the new album and had already finished after one month. Hebe said that actually, the person they had hoped to interview the most was her idol Faye Wong, [I really wanted to ask her that when she goes to KTV, would she choose our songs?] Her two good sisters next to her “attacked” her as usual: [Faye Wong is very busy right now. She won’t be coming back out. Don’t even think about it.]

爱我还是爱你
你选择了自己 wo~



撒娇的可爱的

迷人的爱哭的

照片里曾经的都是你喜欢的

你却走回你的记忆

你说我爱你太多就快要把你淹没
你害怕幸福短暂一秒就崩落
分开是一种解脱让你好好的想过
我想要的那片天空你是不是能够给我

你说我给你太多却不能给我什麽
分不清激情承诺永恒或迷惑
爱情是一道伤口我们各自苦痛
沉默是我最后温柔是因为我太爱你
只剩下钢琴陪我站在这里
梦想中属於我们的婚礼
安静了在我枕边的梦里
我知道相爱原本就不容易
爱不是一场雨
努力就有结局 wo~
撒娇的可爱的
迷人的爱哭的
照片里曾经的都是你爱着你的
连假的泪还温热
却没有人握我的手

你说我爱你太多就快要把你淹没
你害怕幸福短暂一秒就崩落
分开是一种解脱让你好好的想过
我想要的那片天空你是不是能够给我

你说我给你太多却不能给我什麽
分不清激情承诺永恒或迷惑
爱情是一道伤口我们各自苦痛
沉默是我最后温柔是因为我太爱你

S.H.E Teaches Jay Chou The Secret of “Chasing Women”
[2008.10.26 Sohu News]

Yesterday, S.H.E, bringing their newest album [FM S.H.E], arrived in Beijing. During their exclusive interview with Sohu Entertainment, the three discussed what they considered a good man: considerate, generous, talented, responsible, worship-worthy…amidst the conversation, Hebe even mentioned that Jay Chou had composed one of the songs in the album. In comparison to the flurry of romantic rumors previously, she seemed to be very open about it.

Jay Chou Contribution for the New Album
No Fear of Romantic Rumors from Hebe

In their exclusive interview with Sohu Entertainment, S.H.E who was working hard to promote their new album, openly revealed that one of the songs in the album “Silence” was composed by Hebe’s rumored boyfriend Jay Chou. This was not the first time Jay collaborated with them. The earlier romantic rumor was also started with Hebe collaborating with him on his MV “Going Backward”. This time with him helping out again, the female lead in this romantic rumor, Hebe, profusely praised the song written by Jay Chou as being very good, without any hints of intentionally dodging the issue. Her open attitude was as if the romantic rumor had never happened.

S.H.E Reveals Their Standards for an Ideal Man
Teaches the Secret of Chasing Women

When asked as their standards for an ideal man, the three each had their own ideas: For Selina, an ideal man must be honest and responsible; Ella’s ideal man must be comfortable and easy to get along; only Hebe’s standard for an ideal man was more special – “He must be have some type of specialty that can make me worship him.” There seemed to be a wealth of meaning between the lines.

There were also men that S.H.E particularly disliked, such as men that are “petty, disagreeable…” and other similar characteristics. At the same time, they also revealed to all men their close-kept secret of “chasing women”: [If she says “I love you” 1000 times to you, then you have to say “I love you” back 1001 times. Afterwards hug her and kiss her. Then everything will be OK.
