My artwork gallery
Posted by lefhen at 10:21 AM on June 23, 2004.
I've put three of my computer artworks in the gallery.
Don't know when will I'll be making those again...
It sure was tiring, doing it all in a computer.
But, it was kinda fun. Especially when you're done with it, and you have this feeling of greatness.
I'll be putting two of my other artworks later.
They're actually made for my avatars. I've used one of them for my usericon here. But, I'll put the larger version in the gallery.

Avatars in the gallery
Posted by lefhen at 08:00 AM on June 25, 2004.
As promised, I've added my 2 avatars in the gallery.
But, the plan's changed. I was going to put a larger version of the pictures. But, I found out that I don't have a larger version of the 2nd avatar... *sigh*
So, I figured that it would only fair if I also put the small version of the 1st one.
Well... that's it. Hope that I'll be making more in the future :D

An excellent new Chinese artist, delivered his very first music album in April 2003. This Singaporean is the junior of the other well-known Singaporean singer A Du (a.k.a A-Do). Beautiful voice combined with a superb talent, as he composed all of his songs by himself. His work of art have been acknowledged as he received an award for best breakthrough artist in the 15th Annual Golden Melody Award.
Recently, he has launched his 2nd album. It seems that his 2nd album is delivered in two version. One is called "Jiang Nan", and the other is called "Di Er Tian Tang". The 2nd version is similar to the 1st one. It's just that the 2nd version has one additional track which is titled "Di Er Tian Tang". I found out that the 1st version is produced for mainland China only. The reason is that the song "Di Er Tian Tang" has a quite harsh lyric and is considered inappropriate for mainland China social values.
About a week ago, I saw JJ in a Taiwanese talk show, hosted by Matilda (Momoco) Tao. He's there together with Stella Huang, another Singaporean artist which you probably recognise her by her performance together with F4's Ken in the Taiwanese TV series "Orange Boy" and Harlem Yu's MV "Qing Fei De Yi". There was a part where Stella had written a lyric before the show and JJ made an instant musical composition for the lyric with an organ and sang it by himself. It was BEAUTIFUL!! Although, I was not sure what the song is all about :P
I really hope that JJ can keep on producing great and beautiful songs in the future. Cos I really enjoy them. JJ, Jia you!!!

One of my favorite songs performed by Lin Jun Jie.
Don't ask me for the translation or what the song is about :P

Behind the song: \"Chi Bang\"
Posted by lefhen at 10:42 AM on June 28, 2004.
There's actually a story behind this song. It always brings back the memories everytime I hear the song. I'll start with the first time I heard... umm... probably it's more precise to say "acknowledged" the song.
It all started when I was in Guiyang, China. I lived in a room with a roommate, called Daniel. In the room, there was a TV set. But all the programmes were in Chinese, as my roommate always complained that he didn't understand a single word they were saying. I quite enjoyed it, although I didn't understand much Chinese myself. Why? Because it wasn't necessary to fight for the TV with Daniel if I wanted to watch something, hahaha... :D
OK, back to the story... There was this programme, every afternoon. The programme was an interactive song request programme. All you have to do is call the number, and you'll be shown a sequence of menus to pick the song that you like to watch. And yes, the song "Chi Bang" had something to do with the programme. Apparently, the song was played over and over again during the programme. The song was made as an intermezzo, to fill up the time between requests. To tell the truth, that song meant nothing the first few times we heard it. But after a while, it started to hit us. Daniel said that he enjoyed the song, and I had the same feeling. Hypnotism? Can't say.
So there I was, trying to find out who sang the song and what the title was. And one day, I got the answer from the programme when someone finally requested the song. Feeling very excited, I surfed the Internet and downloaded the song to Daniel's laptop (sorry, JJ). And yes... that song became our favorite song and it was the time that I got to know JJ's songs.
From that moment on, it seemed that I was gradually poisoning Daniel with Chinese songs. He started loving the songs. But, he still insisted that reggae music is the best X(
I remember the time when we were at Hua Cheng Hotel (IIRC). We had had lunch there a couple of times and visited them to see their air conditioning system. The first time was lunch. They had a big TV set over there and they were putting songs. One of the songs was "Chi Bang". The second time we went there for lunch, they put the song again. Me and Daniel were very excited. And Daniel also enjoyed the other songs. So, this time I said to him, why he didn't go ask Jane (one of the committee members, she is a very nice woman) to ask the hotel's staff where to get that VCD they were playing. So, there he went. The hotel's staff answered that the VCD was bought in a store nearby the hotel. After that, me and Daniel were preparing a plan to find the VCD. In the middle of the discussion, the hotel staff's came striding toward us. And in his hand, was the VCD we were talking about. The staff said that the hotel was giving the VCD as a gift for Daniel. WOW!! We were both got very excited. I got a little envious actually. But heck, Daniel deserved it :D
So, that is the story, I think. Every time the song plays, I keep remembering the great times I had with Daniel, and of course all of the other who I've met and known there. You're a great sport, Dan! Hope to see you again someday...

Ryoko!! Kawaiiiii..... =^^=
Posted by lefhen at 12:26 PM on June 30, 2004.
Yesterday when I got home, I caught a new Japanese series on the satellite channel. There was Ryoko Hirosue!!! :D~
Only watched it for the last 15 to 20 minutes T_T
Ryoko looked much more mature, compared to the time she acted in "The Beach Boys" and "Shotgun Marriage". But still..., that smile never change. She still have that lovely look of hers. Too bad, her voice was dubbed in Mandarin.
I noticed that there was this guy from Kinki Kids, playing too. As you might've known, Kinki Kids has 2 members. It's the one with... umm... how to say... 'funny' look :P
I don't know his name, because I'm not that a big fan of Kinki Kids or any Japanese boyband.
And there was also another female playing in it too. She was pretty too, IMO. Her look was not that much different with Ryoko. It was the same type, I think.
I guess three of them were the main star of the series. I can't say for sure what the title of it. But from its Chinese title, it was "Ex-boyfriend"?? From what I see, Ryoko was that Kinki guy's ex-girlfriend and the other girl was his new girl. They all work in a cake shop.
Well, I'm not so sure about the storyline. Caught only part of it, not to mention the language problem ^^;
But, it's good to see Ryoko on TV again. Brings up the spirit ^_^
Although I heard that her popularity has dropped. Still... she's my fav :D
