Stupid and Funny BUT True!
Mar 9th
There are lotsa funny and stupid things happening around in the world we stay every single day, some of which we couldn’t care much, some of which we pay attention at. However still, time still goes by everyday and we just couldn’t do much to what is happening then with just having a thought of it and that’s it.
How funny eh that one might differs from another in just split seconds?
Anyways, do enjoy the video below. I LOL-ed hard at it which where Kevin talk about something which is quite true!
Sometimes i just admire these top “Youtubers” who could just do a video out of nothing and go all the way top to the most viewed video list.

袁咏琳大马音乐签唱会 Cindy Yen Music Showcase Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Feb 27th
Yesterday was the music showcase of Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 on her debut album which was held at Sungei Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.
Cindy Yen was born on the 14th of November 1986 in Houston, Texas. She began learning piano at the age of 5 and violin at the age of 10. When she was 12, her parents divorced, and since then she was brought up by her mother. After graduating with a double major in Music & Journalism, she returned to Taiwan. In 2009, she also won Miss Chinatown USA pageant 2009.
She is now JVR Music’s new singer-songwriter.
Cindy composed & sung the theme song “Do you see me” in a recent Far EasTone advertisement and was seen as the next promising newcomer after Joanna Wang & Alisa Gao.
On the 30th of October 2009, Cindy released her self-titled debut album ‘Cindy Yen’. The title track was her duet with superstar Jay Chou – ‘Sand Painting’ which was composed & produced by her, while the lyrics were written by Vincent Fang.
Her debut album is mainly built upon R&B, spiced with popular elements such as rock, metal and electronics. Cindy composed all 10 melodies, with some help with the lyrics from Vincent Fang & Nan Quan Mama’s Lara. Her album includes not only her R&B, pop & classical roots, but also other genres such as pop rock, hard metal & even Latin dance beat, which proves her versatility in different music styles, while her piano ballads also demonstrate her solid vocals.
Cindy is beyond dispute a newcomer with firm music talent & her arrival in the music industry has already created a huge stir!

Upon appearing up on stage, Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 greeted the Malaysian fans “Apa Khabar” with immediate response from the crowd shouting Cindy!! Being largely reported in the Chinese entertainment world as the next J-Girl of Jay Chou 周杰伦, Cindy said that working on the song Painting Sands 画沙 with Jay is some experience that is rare despite all the rumors, she only treated Jay as her brother.
After a brief conversation with the emcee, Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 performed the song she sang with Jay Chou 周杰伦 with the crowd joining in to sing. Do watch the video above to see her live performance at the music showcase!!
Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 performed a few other songs such as 很旅行的爱情, 雨後天空 and etc which is included in her debut album. Though one of the song she performed talks about her views on her sad relationship with her ex, she had this sweet voice + a big bright smile on her face throughout the whole session.
2 lucky fans got to get on stage to sing with Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 herself and got themselves a special gift from Sony Music Malaysia.
and well, what happen after her performances was the autograph session. She’s just so pretty and attractive that i’ll save my words and just let you see more pictures alright!?
Well, i’ve always been keeping an eye on the Taiwan Entertainment Industry myself and love the music produced there and though the competition are tough over there, i do appreciate some of the singers working hard on their music.
From what Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 said during the earlier press conference, that she’s already working on her 2nd upcoming album, i would wait and love to see what she have installed for the music fans!!
Definitely love her smile!!!

Press Conference of Cindy Yen Music Showcase Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 袁咏琳大马音乐签唱新闻发布会
Feb 26th
Emcee, Cindy Yen 袁咏琳, Managing Directer of Sony Music Malaysia Adrian
Thanks to Sony Music Malaysia, i attended the press conference of 袁咏琳 Cindy Yen’s Music Showcase earlier today at Redbox IOI Mall, Puchong.
With a big smile on her face, she said that the time being in Malaysia is perfect so far where she just arrived from America. Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 is a singer from Taiwan who just released her debut album in October 2009 where she had a duet “Painting Sands 画沙” with Jay Chou 周杰伦 included in the album as well.
Loved the professionalism in Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 when the media people shoots question about Jay Chou 周杰伦 to her at the start of the Q&A session. With praise for the Taiwan Music talent Jay Chou 周杰伦, she said that he is a boss, mentor, friend of hers and that’s all, telling us how she had this chance of co-operating with him and she appreciates it very much.
Being crowned Miss Chinatown USA 2009 and releasing her debut album in the same year itself, the talented Cindy Yen 袁咏琳 who composes and write songs as well is already working on her 2nd upcoming album.
As for me myself, from what i see in her, with the strong competition in the music entertainment scene in Taiwan, to have a chance to work with Jay Chou 周杰伦 is something valuable, but like just what she told us during the press conference that she need to count on herself to path her own future in the next few years, it’s pretty true.
I do think, that with the dream of becoming a star/singer since 3 years old coming true and with a person with such music talent, she definitely have the potential to shine in Taiwan.
Looking forward for more from her!!
American Idol Season 8 Winner – Kris Allen Performing Live at The Gardens, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Feb 10th
Allen was born from Jacksonville, Arkansas, to Kimberly (née Wood) and Neil Allen. He is the elder of two sons; his younger brother, Daniel, is a college cheer-leading coach. Allen is a Christian and served as assistant music director at the non-denominational New Life Church in both Conway, Arkansas, and Little Rock, Arkansas. Allen has participated in missionary work around the world, including in Burma, Morocco, Mozambique, South Africa, Spain, and Thailand.
Before Kris came out
So, it was Kris Allen’s live in Kuala Lumpur Music Showcase just 2 nights ago at The Gardens Midvalley where Kris Allen rocked the house with 800 music fans shouting and screaming throughout the night!
An expected delay at the start of the showcase where the emcees were there to hype up the crowd with returning screaming for Kris Allen proves that the fan base here in Malaysia are really really crazy about him.
Kris Allen – Heartless
Kris Allen came out on stage that night and responded to the fans with an impressive display of his vocal talent that got him the winning title of American Idol Season 8. I consider myself lucky to be among the first few row right in front of him where i really enjoyed the performance.
Not even ONE bit of disappointment!! =)
and i must say that the band behind was really good, they deserve as much credits as Kris Allen that night where if not because of them, the music won’t be that good where i won”t be able to totally enjoy the show .
It was the first time an American Idol winner performed live in Malaysia and i’m more than glad to be part of it and of course, i would love to see more of such awesome performance be it by international artists or local ones!
With that, i insist that you watch the video below with Kris Allen performing Come Together, the video have hit 1.5k hits so far where some of the fans loved it to max, you’ll love it too!
Kris Allen – Come Together
Would love to watch Kris Allen live in performance again in the future!! Do check out the videos and pictures taken below yah!
Thanks to both STAR World Asia and Sony Music Malaysia.

The Malaysian Idol Danell Lee 李桀汉
Feb 10th
I’m actually happy that i’m one of the Malaysians that grew up from the years when 王光良Michael Wang Guang Liang and Victor Wong 黄品冠 were still in a group 无印良品/光良品冠 which produced good music then.
Reading about the news on the marriage of both fellow Malaysian Stars Fish Leong 梁静茹 and Angelica Lee 李心洁 had me thinking that Malaysia actually produced quite a lot of good quality Stars/Artists and we Malaysians actually have quite a lot of stuffs to boast about.
Its been quite a long period of time that a number of Malaysian Stars have actually break out of the country gaining fame in the region be it actors or singers and me being part of the “spectators” that witness part of the whole process happening from them being unknown to being a public figure, i must say that i feel proud being a Malaysian, somehow.
Of course, not every single actor/singer could be such successful in the Chinese entertainment industry facing the challenges from the people in the same field. Looking back the previous few years, i actually noticed quite a few names that are really good at what they’re doing but they just can’t seem to breakthrough that invisible barrier.
Looking as promising as ever being crowned the champion of the Malaysian Idol Season 2 half a decade ago, Danell Lee 李桀汉 have been in the scene for quite a few years already. Mimpi and 飞 are the songs that most Malaysians remembered about this local artist, back then in 2006, it looks like he’s going to make it big in Taiwan.
I have no idea why and how, it didn’t seem to happen then. Having a slight change in name from 李吉汉 to 李桀汉 and releasing a Malay EP – Pasti in 2008 till the recent release of a concert album (李桀漢 DANELL 桀然不同拉闊音樂會 CD + DVD) still proves that he still stands firmly in the Malaysian Music Industry.
Losing out at 星光5 (超级星光大道 One Million Star Season 5) at the PK phase just last year returning to Malaysia with a disappointed heart didn’t stop him from working his way in the industry.
If you ask me, after listening to his new tracks ( 桀作 / 流行性感冒 /現在，很想見你 / Smile 
Like a Rainbow which is available in the concert album mentioned above) i would personally say that he have improved much since the years of Malaysian Idol and i particularly love the song 流行性感冒.
Well, Chinese New Year 2010 is approaching and we as Chinese will of course hope for the best to come in this New Year, one of the thing i would really love to see is that our local Chinese Entertainment Scene being brought up to a whole new level in near future!
In short, i just want to say that the local entertainment industry is looking more promising in recent years esp. in the Chinese entertainment side where there’s a rising of production in local films/drama series as well as singers/group that really impressed me such as Karen Kong 龚柯允, Zhu Hao Ren 朱浩仁 and Manhand 慢行.
As for Danell Lee 李桀汉, i’m looking forward to the time he make it BIG!!
