Entertainment News

Okay before i start with the Entertainment News got a few things to announce.
Firstly, Zhui Xing Entertainment News will stop for 2 weeks!!! SobZ!! This is due to the fact that i will be staying in for two weeks for my SPT and will not have enough interaction will the showbiz in the outside world to come out with Entertainment News. However, during this two weeks i have prepared for u guys 2 installments of the Informative Column so you will still get to read the things i write and prepare. For those Entertainment News' fans out there, we will see you again in 2 weeks k??
Meahwhile, to the other Zhui Xing Members, pls keep your columns going, Food Column, Shopping Column, Book Column, Story Column and Photo Chest!!! Jiayou!! Trust u guys to keep the blog going when im gone.

As for the new blogskin idea, i think the idea is not bad, and i personally went to see the Xiao Zhu blogskin at Wenya's blog, quite nice. But the thing is, to feature one celebrity might not be that feasible when it comes to a grp blog. Naturally i will vote for Yanzi and 棒棒堂. But only xinying and mi are Yanzi's fan. Then if Xiao Zhu right, onli wenya and xinying wants, mi and xinyi sure dun wan one. What i suggest is make Zhui Xing members the star lor, can put our pictures as the blogskin, but i noe it needs an IT expert to be able to do such a thing. Haha. So just a suggestion.
If u guys still going for Wenya's idea then my vote will be to Yanzi, SHE and 棒棒堂. Yup.

Okay now lets move on to the latest installment of the Zhui Xing Entertainment News.

追星娱乐八卦新闻
This is Zhui Xing Entertainment News bring to you the latest and hottest news in the Entertainment Industry.

We have news that 孙燕姿 has a new boyfriend and that their relationship has been ongoing for 4 months now. This guy is from Holland but has an Asian Nationality. He ask for transfer from Hong Kong to Singapore to work here just because he wants to have more time with 燕姿. When asked whether the new realtionship is true, Yanzi who usually don't like lying to the press just smile and avoided the questions which made the press more sure that this news is true. Plus her colleagues say they were not sure whether she is in a relationship but they have observed that she seems to be in a good mood nowadays. Well, if the news is true, we sincerely wish her all the best in this relationship.

罗志祥 has decided to cross over to EMI and now he is the 师弟 of lotsa other divas like 孙燕姿 and 蔡依林. The CEO of EMI and Capitol has said that after signing 小猪 over to EMI, he has no more intention of signing other people and has expressed confidentally that after signing 小猪 over he already possess 50% of the music industry. Wow. We hope that until the new management EMI and Capitol could give these stars and celebrities a great music career ahead and hope that they will bring to us more great music and surprises.

Not a Good Wk but I had Worse

Hey guys,
great to know that the zhui xing blog has been so active these days. With lotsa new columns and post coming up. May i say Xinyi "Photo Chest" Column is really a good idea. N quite brilliant and suitable for Xinyi also coz i have realise from the past outings that she is really into photography. Keep the column going k?? N as for the Long Juan Feng Column by Xinying and Wenya, hrmm, i seriously dunno what u guys are doing. I mean is it even a column? Haha. Must specify the focus and topic the column is about mar. From the last post hor, its like nothing on it lor. Same as writing normal diary and journal like that. Hmm...

All in all, keep the post and entry coming in. Pls do not let this be like this only for the holiday period hor. Then after holidays the same old dead blog again.

Alright this week hasn't been going on really smoothly for mi. All my superiors are back and i have to manage them, u know how hard is it to manage ur bosses. N sometimes u really just feel like strangling them becoz they keep on giving u task that are like so unneccessary lor.
Like nothing to do go pack cupboard, pack finish cupboard go the other office and pack their cupboard when the other office already says they dun need ppl to pack their cupboard. N its like none of our business also.
N they will also ask u to go poke into other departments affair which is like not in my job scope and i really dun feel like being a busybody and do so but i am unfortunately being task to do that thing.
N oh, one of them ask mi to borrow a parang from dunno some unit only he heard before to do what, chop the coconut which is like so not work related lor. N when i ask them how am i to do it coz i dun even noe what freaking unit is that, they say, go find out urself. BITCHES!!!
Arrgh so freaking tired of all these lar.

N more things happened on Thurs that lead mi to break down in the office. Glad that there are friends in the company that are willing to stand out for mi. I always thought that i am alone in this company though im quite like friendly with alot of pple. I always thought when some happens to mi none of them will come to mi help but really glad and touched that they did.

Okay, now going to share some of the readings i did recently. First is the 盛夏光年 original story that i borrowed from Wenya. Its really a good story and from the start i imagine myself as one of the characters 康正行 and i really engross in the story lor. Can feel all the emotions that 正行 is feeling when he cried in one of the scene, i cried too. Too bad the story didnt end that well for正行.

Wenya below is my intepretation of the ending: 正行 felt that 守恒 just made love to him because he don't wanna lose his best friend. Rmb how 守恒 always says that 正行 is his best friend? N even when he noes 正行's feelings toward him he still keep his freindship with him. Thats why 正行 felt that 守恒 did that to save his friendship with him not because he like him, then at night he called 惠嘉 to come over and left on his own. He knows the person 守恒 like is not him but 惠嘉 and he wants 守恒 to be happy and be with someone he likes, thats why he left to sort of 成全 the both of them coz both are his good friends and he dun want like just because of him he destroy the happiness of the both of them. Yup. Think thats it. I think if u still dun really get it lets discuss again next time with Xinying.

Another reading im doing now is a book called For One More Day by Mitch Albom who also happen to write best sellers like Tuesday with Morrie and The Five People you Meet in Heaven. Its given by a friend of mine for my bdae. Very simple to read, inspiring and engaging. Havent read finish all yet but have been carry the book around until its a bit crumpled le. Arrgh!!!

Alright, i am going to Stay In for 2 weeks at Jurong Camp for my SPT (Section Proficiency Test). This includes a 3 days 2 nights outfield training. I already heard rumours that people are gonna tekan mi coz they wanna train mi up. I am like halo!!!! I nv do anithing wrong u also wanna target mi?? Some people are just so bo liao lor. Haiz. Hope can go through all these training and test and really prove to people not to underestimate mi. I am going in there with a positive attitude and coming out with a smiling face coz i dun want those bo liao people to feel that they have succeeded!!! I am going to smile mi way through!!! God pls be with mi!!!!

Alright,
Wish u guys a happy Weekend!!!!

Reina n Angelina

WYXY 1101E -- Reina n Angelina 的龙卷风

为了配合我和Angelina 疯狂的行为，我决定制作一个特别column 来纪念这个有意义的友谊活动！
不知道你听说了吗？我和她决定参加这次的校友卡拉ok歌唱比赛！突然想起，我教补习的ah boy 的哥哥好像是YJcian, 天啊！希望不会被发现。

本来我是不想参加的。但是像上次一样，我被激发了。激发我的人，当然是我的“孙”友，苏小姐。我们讨论的结果是，我们将会唱孙燕姿的新歌：《我怀念的》。苏小姐为了表示她参赛的决心，决定赶快去买孙小姐的改版专辑。因为赠送的DVD 有那首歌。

吸取了上次的经验，这次，我们决定不要再重蹈覆辙了! 不要唱男生的歌！所以当苏小姐提到五月天的时候，我立刻拒绝了。还记得上次的搞笑经验。哈哈。

亲爱的朋友，这次的比赛是人或小组参赛。如果你有兴趣的话，也可以参加。
苏小姐说她有胜利的决心。我则是抱着雪耻的决心！哈哈。
But most importantly, 是去玩玩。If you are not participating, 当天请到比赛地点为我们欢呼ok.
如果你不敢欢呼，its ok..记得拍打声一点。哈。

That's all for now! ^_^

P.S 我们还没想到组名呢！你们觉得什么名字好呢？

Anyway, e purpose of me blogging today is cos I discovered smth! Tat we can do on our bdaes. Wenya suggested tat we watched a good esplanade performance.. but here's a really really good musical coming in Aug. Preview is on my bdae. I really wanna watch. If we book early by e end of june we get 20% discount but not 4 e cheapest price tic which is $10 on preview(thurs) and $15 after that. I guess we can go 4 e later cos we most prob going on sat.

It's a liang wenfu's musical.. n director is by e great director who directed "perhaps love". How can we miss such a good performance? And if we start saving up now, we r able 2 watch it. I love musicals... so pleady please? I shall send e details via email 2 all of u. =)

Excited xiaomei

Part 1: Other Opinions regarding Superstar’s experiences

I agree that the transport fees are high, and that the company should deliver service with better standard. However, I also feel that customers should give more patience for unexpected and rare incidents like this. It could be due to some problem that happened along the way, causing the bus to be late. However, I would also like to suggest that perhaps there can be some form of communication between bus driver and the company, so that in case of breakdown of bus along the way, another bus should be sent out as soon as possible, to minimise inconveniences faced by passengers.

On the second matter, I feel that passengers should not be allowed to play music on bus, just like you are not allowed to bring durian on bus etc. Personally, I have such bad experiences too. It brings discomfort to passengers, who pay equal amount of transport fares. Furthermore, it would be even better, if TV mobile is removed from all buses. Because it is solely for advertising purposes, is not interesting, because many programmes are repeated and would attract only a very small group of people. TV mobile creates A LOT of noise in the morning. Even more noisy than loud music played by inconsiderate passengers.

Part 2: Resolutions

Inspired by Superstar, let me take a look at my resolutions. Nervous!

Princess Sala's 2OO7 resolutions

1. Work hard for each semester, dont slack. (ok only..not bad)

2. Not to buy expensive clothes, unless for special occasions. (Yes, I kept this!)

3. Save at least 10 bucks per month. (yesh~)

4. Learn how to cook 4 dishes. (I only know 3. oh no~)

5. Wash my own clothes daily. (failed, succeed only sometimes. Still working on it)

6. Do housework on weekends. (failed)

7. Earn at least one month of income. (succeed!)

8. Dont surf net for more than 3 hours per day. (failed)

Ha..

Now, let me rewrite my resolutions again.

1. Work hard for each semester.
2. Exercise at least twice a week, for 20minutes.
3. Don’t buy clothes, accessories, bags, unless for special occasions.
4. Cook a full meal.
5. Wash my own clothes, and tidy my own room.
6. Read at least 2 books every month.
7. Find a job and stick to it.
8. Improve my writing skills.
9. Try to reduce outings.
10. Stop low morale.

Part 3: Shopping Paradise

I am listening to Cyndi’s songs. Very nice.

Me and Xinying recommend the song “那年夏天宁静的海”. So nice..

I also like Butterfly etc. I like this album best, compared to other album. Coz not overly sweet. Very nice.

That’s all for now. Talk next time!

Songs Intro

追星娱乐八卦新闻
Today's Zhui Xing Entertainment News abit special. Due to the lack of entertainment news this week. I will be introducing some of the songs i like recently. Just to share and intro all these songs to u all. Hope u guys like it and plus give comments.

The first two songs i am going to intro is by a new singer called 庭竹. I personally find this guy very talented coz all the songs in her album is she write and compose one. N i find her song very unique got her own style like that. She reminds mi abit of one of the malaysian singer called 宇恒. Listen to this 1st song first ba. This song is called 喜欢你.

Very Cute right??

Next song i am going to intro also by 庭竹 is called 现在的你. For those of you who like to listen to those sad song (people like Wenya), this song is for you. Very emotional song.


Next up is the one and only girl band in the Mandrain Pop industry, SHE!!! After introducing u guys to 中国话, i will now intro u guys to another song called 五月天. Yes, u have not heard worngly, its SHE singing a song called 五月天. N in the music video they even invited 五月天's 阿信 to act in this video. However, this song has really nothing to do with 五月天, coz its not written by them also. Its a really soothing and warm song. N i think the 3 of them harmonize the song really well, bringing much colour and live to the song.


After listening to something soothing, like us listen to a sound with attitude. I personally think this song is one of the best songs recorded in 孙燕姿's 逆光 album. This song is called 飘着. Dunno how to describe lor, when u listen to it, u will be like drawn to the song. N i think 燕姿 acted very well in this music video, got a few moments can see like her eyes very watery like that. 飘着, hope u guys like it!!


I love the instrumental part of this song. The piano and all the other instruments. Every nice and very soothing also. Plus the singer is a guy but has a really high voice range that i think even some female singers cannot reach. This is the band that won 7 Taiwan Golden Melody Award Nominations. Introducing to u, 苏打绿 with this really nice song called 小情歌.


This next singer is also a guy and has an even higher voice than the lead singer in the previous song. My gosh why male singers nowadays have voice range so high. Haha. But this song has a really catchy tune and very motivational too. A song felt with hope and dreams. This is 杨培安 with 我相信.


This next composer, song writer and singer has written lotsa nice songs like 遗失的美好. N he is also member of FIR. Yes its 阿沁 from FIR who recently release his own album and i simply adore this song that is in this album called 其实还爱你. Very emotional and the melody is so nice. Plus 阿沁's voice is surprisingly nice coz during FIR's time people only listen to Faye's instead of his. 其实还爱你 Enjoy!!


The last song i am going to intro is quite a special song. Its a Japanese song and this song also happens to be one of the song in the Anime i am recently watching on Youtube called Nana. The song is called A Little Pain by a singer called Olivia. I love the elctric guitar in this song. Its played really well. Thumbs up to whoever the guitarist is, plus i think Olivia's voice very nice and unique. Like an angel's voice. Haha. So last song of the day, hope u enjoy. Olivia's A Little Pain.


I really hope u guys like the songs i intro. Pls tell mi which songs u guys like best okay?

P.S:~ Wenya and Xinying, i really had lotsa fun with u guys shopping in Orchard. Thanks!!!

Cya guys soon,
Xian Hao

Ugly Singaporeans, Bad Service

Hey guys,
How have u guys been doing?

Suddenly realise that i have not been writing my weekly journal for quite sometime so i am writing it now. Haha. Coz busy with my other 2 columns. Entertainment News and Informative Column. Oh, and just for your information, there will be no Zhui Xing Entertainment News this week end due to shortage of entertainment news and my commitment to the 2 projects and ideas i have in mind for the Informative Column. Hope the 1st one could be out at the end of this week.

Okay to sum up my week at work, Monday and Tuesday were realy bad. Lotsa paperwork to do and the work just keep piling up once u are like almost finishing. But i am glad that i am able to manage well despite the heavy workload and complete my job at quite a fast time. After that things were tone down a bit le, up to some point that i really had nothing to do and started feeling bored. Haha. Oh and on Thursday, we had this Cell group thingy in my company whereby all those interested Christian will gather in one room and discuss and talk about stuff, our problems and give each other our sincere encouragement and prayers in the name of God. Since i can't attend church due to some family stuff, i guess this is really a good opportunity to interact with other Christians and hopefully become closer to God. Our first meeting was not bad and i thank the Lord or giving us the chance to gather and giving mi this really good chance to catch up with the things that i miss out from not going to any church.

After summing up my week, i have some complains to do. I guess u guys still remember all the bad services and ugly Singaporeans that i complain about in previous blog entries right, well, today there is more.

Lets guess start with the bad services.
SMRT has over the years increased the transport fees and citing reasons like better service, better quality transport for doing so. I agree that in some aspects, they have been improving. However they can't even improve on basic things like being on time, this is okay for MRT but the situation is really bad for the buses. You guys know every morning its crucial for people to get to their workplace or schools on time and thats y every second and every minute counts. N thus, its especially important for buses and public transport that serves these people to be punctual. This is especially so for long distance bus services like 168. On Monday, the usual 06.15am bus for 168 came almost at 06.30am resulting in the long quene of people at the interchange and almost causing mi to be late for my work. This bus is not late by a minute or two. Its late by 15 minutes!!! N for people like mi, i have other buses apart from 168 to take b4 reaching my camp, so i must reach the bus stop before my next bus comes and if 168 comes after that. Thats it. Im so late and so getting into deep shit. Lucky for mi, the next bus i took came just after 168 left. But i still very angry lor. Like every year u wanna increase transport fare, then don't even bother to be on time, whats the point?? N Singaporeans are paying alot of public transport as compared to other countries. But are we the best in terms of service?? I really doubt so. Thats y i get really fed up whenever i hear that they are gonna increase transport fare!!!! I would say no improvements made at all, esp bus services. Hope authorities could seriously look into this matter.

Next up, and this one is more fed up then the 168 incident,
Have u ever encounter people switching their handphone to loudspeaker mode in public places? U know what? I personally it is really a damn irritating and annoying act by a lot of Singaporeans. There is this particular guy from Metta School who will do just that every morning and irritate the hell out of mi. Hello, its like early in the moring 6 plus like that lor, then everytime take bus, he will start blasting his music for all to hear. Malay song some more lor and then worse he will start singing to it lor. Pls lar, early in the morning leh, u noe how irritating it is. And i listening to mi own receiver through my earphone also can listen to his malay songs and his horrible singing lor. Even some Malay aunties also got give him the look but he like don't care sia. Wah damn piss lor. Really feel like switching my own handphone to loudspeaker then see who win lor. Think only u got loudspeaker meh? Get a ear piece lar!!!!

Okay, complain finish!!! Hope u guys dun mind. By the way, if i offend anyone from Metta School, im so sorry, but if u annoy mi, this is what will happen.

P.S:~ Looking forward to tml's shopping, hope can by some nice stuff, clothings or whatever at reasonable price!!!

Reina words

I've been staying at home and interacting with my bao bei n my family. sometimes got go out. But basically cannot rmb when, where, what. I really have lousy memory. But ya..i rmb went to east coast, rmb went to xiaomei's lecture, n with my sis to vivo. but i cant rmb all leh..haha..
Well, I've been feeling quite lousy, coz i hear the whole world asking me to do something useful.
The loudest voice is to ask me to find a job. Ya..I oso wan..but i oso dun wan..I duno why I feel this way. But nvm..i've gt my own plans. shh.. anywayz.. without the noises i heard, I think i would want to spend the holiday doing readings, readings, readings. I want to improve my level. but i duno how. haha..

Yesterday went to amk lib with xiaomei, and borrowed many books. Really like one book by Liu Yong (not the poet i like). Its quite interesting to read. Talks abt kinship, and all kinds of love. love towards people in general and family and all.

There is this story tt shows how ppl in hatred dont see the irony of things. Actually its not a story. Its true. Coz when the 9/11 thing occured, people feel very upset tt innocent people were killed. But immediately, they wanted to do something destructive to their enemy. And tt too, meant that lives will be lost too. Innocent lives. And in another passage, he quoted Martin Luther King's words..i cant rmb wad..but e impt pt is tt a war shud be fought lawfully. I dun quite understand wad it means. anywayz..and then there's another things he said tt is quite meaningful, the internet managed to 'web' half the world into it, but can it help us connect to people impt to us. Sometimes, we dun even noe what our family member are thinking. Thats what it says. Shall continue to read it today.

Xinying lend me a book 'The little Prince'. I guess it is a book for adults. Not just for children.
why? Because beneath the words, it is mocking at adults and their ridiculous behaviour.
There's this man from one planet, who drinks everyday, but duno why he drinks, and he just keeps drinking. This reminds me of something written in the previous book i mentioned. There is a very successful em..person, who drinks alot, and if he does not drink, his hands will shake. And when he finally died, people start to feel that, in the past they see him as someone who is really capable in making money. But when he died, they felt that he is just like everyone of us, a 'human'. Being a 'human' has its advantage, which meant that one can predict what another person may be feeling, because of the common identity as a human!

Oh..I am so very hungry.
Remembered the lunch i ate yesterday. So nice~
Haiz..duno what my mom cook today. shall go and take a look.
Well, I guess life is like tt. No matter in which point of life, at what conditions,
there are bound to be things tt freaks us out. And I guess, I shall shut my ears, and follow my heart. But sometimes, i get frustrated so much, tt i forget to judge, and forgot my heart.
haha..

That's all for now!

Hihi.. all zhui xing members. This is e secretary again. Today I woke up and I received superstar’s sms that I should try blogging. So I tried but failed. Why huh? But nvm.. wenya shall be my blog assistant liao.

Due to overwhelming response, we suggest another outing this weekend. Can? Any objection? If no, pls suggest where shall we go? I suggest we go Vivo and evening when it’s cooler we play monopoly at sky garden there. Xiaohao suggests we go shopping. Maybe these 2 activities can be carried out on the same day? (and at the same place—this phrase added by wenya)

Love,

Entertainment News

追星娱乐八卦新闻
This is Zhui Xing Entertainment News bringing to you the latest and hottest news in the entertainment industry.

Remember 徐怀钰? This singer will be releasing her new album soon after 6 years of not doing so. In her new album, she will have a sexier image as compared to her previous healthy looking image. She said that she is really apprehensive about her new album release and feels like a newcomer since she has not been in the showbiz for 6 years. During interviews, she was so nervous that her hands and legs were shivering non stop. Haven’t really heard her new song though. Hope it is nice. Will be looking forward to it in the meantime.

Our local talent, 蔡健雅, will be signed to a new record company called 亚神音乐 after her contract with Warner Music expires. 亚神音乐if u never heard before has singers like 杨乃文 and 阿牛. We wish蔡健雅 all the best in her new record company and hopes she brings us more good music.

蔡琴 has recently come to Singapore to do promotion for her concert that is to be held here. But she has to give up on eating her favourite Hainanese’ Chicken Rice. This is due to fact that she has to lose some weight for the concert in order to be at the best condition that night. She has already succeeded in losing 6kg. 蔡琴 also says that she envy 孙燕姿’s physique coz no matter what she eats she always remains that same.

Cutie Princess 杨丞琳 really wishes for her mother to find a second love ever since the divorce of her parents. However, her mother loves her to much to have time to date other guys. Also, 杨丞琳’s mum hate to be in the lime light. Rainie says that her mother would avoid walking too close to her when they are outside coz she don’t want her identity to be exposed. She also said that her mum is those low-profile kind and no matter how hard she persuade her she will not want to be in the lime light. None-the-less, both of them have a very close relationship and we hope it will carry on that way.

We recently reported about 梁静茹’s breakup with her boyfriend 玛莎, and during the pass week when she was performing for her first time at Hong Kong’s prestigious 红馆, she cried when singing “分手快乐” on stage. It was so bad that she was only able to sing like one or two verse then cannot control already. Obviously after this incident, the media and press got really suspicious and ask her about it. She said that she was thinking of her close friend and the hardship they have went through, that’s when she cannot control her tears. She also denied her relationship with玛莎 and said that right now nobody is wooing her that’s why she is till single. Hmm, but still you can’t help it but suspect after what has happened right. I think whatever her reasons for her breakdown only she knows lor and we can only guess. I personally think the press is right this time round.

When we talk about bad luck which singer comes into your mind? That’s right, its 萧亚轩!!! Elva’s mum has been diagnosed with cancer and it has been quite serious and when萧亚轩 knows about it, she is very saddened by the news. Worried about her mum’s condition, she will call her every now and then when she has the time and she even went to the extent of cutting her hair in the hope of bringing some good luck to her mother. We once reported of her loss of her memory card to her digital camera, and recently her pictures without makeup will put online. People who have seen it said that she looks really different without makeup and even said that if everyone’s makeup skills were as good as hers then everyone could be beautiful. OMG. So bad lar. We wish for her bad luck days to be gone soon!!! All the best!

Mediacorp artiste 李名顺 was sentenced to 4 weeks imprisonment and have his driving license suspended for 3 years for the drink and drive incident that occurred last year. Some think this sentence is too harsh for him, while others says he should not be excused just because he is a popular figure. 李名顺 has remain quiet after the verdict. Whatever the case, we hope he has learnt his lesson and will not make the same mistakes again. Everyone deserves a second chance and we hope the mass will not be too harsh on him after he finishes his sentence. We will look forward to more good acting after he comes out from jail. 加油!!!

pursuit of the star

* Pursuit Of The Star *

Yoz..hey hey..guess what is THIS??? hahaha..Ladies and Gentlemen, Here comes our Zhui Xing "Pursuit Of The Star" The latest, freshest, and very creative new episode! EnjoY yeah~ ^_^ oh ya..of coz xinyi wont write like this. haha..I am Blue ridinghood! =) Yeah..enjoy e story!

“So they have come…”

~in a cave~

“Are you sure we are supposed to come this way?” Tress asked uncertainly.

“Of course, I know,” I answered, “I did not throw twigs or anything. I merely followed the signs.”

“Please tell me it is normal for the demons to leave arrows and signs telling us which way to go,” Wumi muttered.

True, even now, I still could not believe that there were signs put there with big words that read “demons this way!” somehow, I hate to think about the mental state of these demons. Who in the right mind will tell people who wanted to kill them which way to go. And well, only people who were equally crazy would follow these signs. And the four of us were the crazy people.

I remembered just earlier…

“So where are the demons?” Wumi had asked those who had gathered outside his house.

“They said to go to the forest and you will know where to go,” the chief from the next village told us.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I mumbled.

Well, as soon as we reached the forest, we understood. The big and colorful signs were put in the middle of the paths leading into the forest.

Sometimes, I really hate to wonder the sanity of our group. I meant it. I really wondered. Maybe it was the fact that we all have our own quirks. We had met just less than a month and we seemed to be able to tease and laughed at each other without the fear of offending anyone. It was fun.

It had been a long time since I had such fun, I thought. How long had it been since I was really happy. I was happy but there was always this darkness in my heart.

Why me? That was what I always ask myself. Maybe I was trapped in my self-pity to understand the happiness I have.

“Look! There seemed to be some light in that direction!” Sala exclaimed excitedly, “maybe the demons are there!”

“I hate to say this again but stop being so excited at finding some demons!” Tress snapped.

Not that I could blame her but it was really strange that someone would get excited at finding demons. Really! Who in the world will want to find demons?

“Relax, Tress. That is Sala. She’s unique,” Wumi replied with a hint of exasperation.

“Yeah, I would think you are used to it since you know her the longest,” I agreed with Wumi. Really! Sala is unique.

“Yeah, try living with her for a year and see if you can take it,” Tress sighed, “then again, living with her for years and you would think I am immune to that already.”

“Hey! I am still here! Stop talking about me as if I am not here! I have you know that I,” Sala was cut off abruptly by a nudge from Tress.

“Stop talking and get going!” Tress hissed as she pushed the other girl slightly, muttering something under her breath which Sala just glared in reply.

I shared a look with Wumi. Both of us knew that the two of them were hiding secrets from us. We were curious but who were we to pry. I knew I hid things from them as well. So did Wumi. After all, my father is a merchant. I had been following him around looking at him deal with sly traders. I know a look of deception when I see one. And to tell the truth, they were not the best actor or actresses. Or maybe I am too good?

“So how long do we need to go?” I asked, breaking the silence.

“I don’t know but let’s hope it is not for long,” Wumi answered as he looked around.

It was dark and we were relying on the light that filtered in from the top. It was eerie, to say the least. What was scarier was the fact that there was a cave in the middle of a forest that looked dark and foggy. But since the arrows pointed to this way, we figured out that we had to come in.

I was leading followed by Sala and Tress and finally Wumi. It was obvious that we could not let Sala lead due her enthusiasm in finding the demons and her unique methods of finding the path to take. However, though we were traveling in a row, we could hear each other quite clearly and there were always echo whenever we said something.

“Well, how long do we have to continue? I want to get this over with,” I wondered aloud.

“Me too but I can’t say the same for Sala,” Tress sighed before she muttered, “And she’s supposed to an elegant and matured young lady.”

“Hey, I heard that! I am not that bad,” Sala protested, having heard Tress’s comment.

“Oh really?” Tress faked an innocent look, “enlighten me, please?”

However, before Sala could answer, there was a sudden drop in temperature. To my horror, I saw three statues in front of me that was otherwise known as my friends.

“No way! This can’t be happening,” I muttered in disbelief.

主题：
美

作者：雨天娃娃

今天是 星期天，我和一个非常要好的朋友一起到靠近圣淘沙的百货公司逛街。

因为我最近迷上《转角遇到爱》这部电视剧，所以想在出去之前看一点点。美女帅哥的组合虽 然很老套，可是百年来电视节目都这样搭配，即使在现在这个科技发达的时代，人们不直觉地还是觉得这样的电视剧才够精彩。不要太快说这是人变得肤浅，而是我 们很自然的反应。但是好看与否，都只是我们个人很主观的意见。美感是人天生的直觉。因为喜爱美丽、美好的东西，所以人类才会一次又一次地创造出美好的事 物。美丽是一种力量的泉源。一直推动着文明的发展。历史上有人从内心深处渴望自己的人生更加的耀眼，于是举起了革命的旗子，推翻他们认为不完美的局势。有 的人希望统一国家，创造更加美丽的‘世界’。

美丽是 很主观的。你看得顺眼的东西，别人不一定喜欢。当自己的审美观被一个人否定的时候，有些人并不会在意。当很多人对于自己的审美观感到怀疑的时候，当事人的 心就开始像断了风筝的线，很老套的，落在一棵树上。可是有些人内心的感情就特别的激烈，特别的固执。即使全世界都否定了他，这个断了线的风筝还是继续拼命 地往天空深处飞去，坚持一种单独的奋斗旅程。我觉得那是勇敢的。因为这样，人与人之间的审美的差别，才可能创造出不平凡的火花。拥有自己的审美观在这个时 代尤其重要。否则，有可能把自己迷失在不断变化的潮流当中。不管是什么样的潮流。

有一种 美特别平淡，却也特别的温馨、持久。很多事情都变了。但它还是能够继续散发着美。情是美丽的。如果它不美丽，也不会有那么多伟人、凡夫，为了它陶醉、歌 颂、生活。有些画面，我永远觉得它美丽。有一次在一间书店，我看到一位外婆不顾是在公共场所，现场就讲了一个丑小鸭的故事给小女孩听。小女孩还跳了‘鸭子 舞’，都得外婆的脸上满满的笑容。真诚的情意是最美丽的。它可以体现在人与人之间的相处，也可以是一个事物。有时候看了戏会落泪，就因为情感是那么的真 实、动人。

Entertainment News

追星娱乐八卦新闻
This is Zhui Xing Entertainment News, bringing to you the latest and hottest news in the entertainment industry. I am posting the entertainment news so early this week because this week got lots of entertainment news. Hope you enjoy.

黄义达 hasn't been feeling very well lately. He has been seen going in and out of the hospital for quite a number of times for his medical checkup. When asked about the reasons, 黄义达 says it had beendue to lots of reasons. Busy schedule, the 8 years of smoking, worrying about his album sales and his ill mother in Singapore has all contributed to his poor health lately. Even though, he is really in a bad shape, 黄义达 still burns the midnight oil just to write songs that he owe some singers and they were all very appreciative of it. We really wish 黄义达 could take good care of himself and have a good rest and hope that he will recover soon enough to bring more nice music to us.

Due to work stress too, 阿杜 is down with pneumonia. But this local singer who is recently filming his first drama series insist on going back to work even with pneumonia. He says that he is afraid that his illness will affect the schedule of the filming so thats y he chose to continue filming. All the other crew members all commented on his professionalism. Also, in this film the female lead almost drown when filming a scene. She was calling for help in the water but the director did not do anything as he thought it was just part of the act and she was acting really well. It was only when the director's assistant sense something wrong with the situation that she was being pull out from the waters. What a close shave.

Why are all the local singers falling ill? 孙燕姿 has also fallen ill due to work load and the constant flying to different places. She had a fever of up to 38.5 degrees. Due to the fever, she cannot carry on with the concert in one of the campus in Taiwan. She apologizes to the students and got Tanya Chua, her best friend to stand in for her. We wish 孙燕姿 and all the above local singers mentioned, a speedy recovery.

Being neighbours with celebrities might not be a good thing. Recently, 蔡健雅 and 阿沁 were being complained by their neighbours for being too noisy as they were practising their singing and writing songs in the middle of the night, disturbing the sleep of many of their neighbours. Tanya says she would be moving to another place soon so that her neighbours would have a peace of mind. 阿沁 has apologize to his neighbours and promise to not pratice from 10pm to 7am.

SHE's new song 中国话 is being turned into a lot of political issues. First of all, many felt that SHE being a Taiwanese Singer shouldn't sing a song like <<中国话>>, makes people feel like they are trying to gain the popularity of the Mainland Chinese. Furthermore, Mandrain in Mainland China is called "普通话" and some are angry over the fact that they uses 中国话 instead. Making it more obvious that they only wanna cater to the Mainland Chinese. However, SHE and their record company has said that they didnt intend for this thing to happen. And the hope people just listen and enjoy the music as it is and not bring in lots of political stuff.

Well, this is the song i have been talking about. The very difficult and challenging song to sing. Anyone up for this challenge?? SHE's <<中国话>>. Enjoy!!


Thats all.
Have a nice weekend!!

Corrinne May - The Birthday Song
lyrics taken frm http://www.leoslyrics.com

Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way to say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul you've helped to grow
A little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years, just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes
Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
