Have been listening a couple of songs by Jenny Phillips, thanks to a blog a friend brought my attention to.  Here's one of them that I like a lot, 'The Maker's Touch'.

Another really good song she's done is 'Toward Zion'. I can't find that on Youtube though, so you'll have to search the music stores for it.

In other matters, to the 'Ip Man' who fanned me: haha thanks I had a good laugh.

If you are a friend or colleague, please own up. If you are a student - I'm afraid this is not going to change anything when we get back! If you are someone who just wandered by and accidentally pressed the 'fan' button - it's okay, I sympathise, that's happened to me before.   If you are Donnie Yen, my mobile number is...

Went down to Ang Siang Hill for the Smudge soft launch today. This is the first time I've ever done something like this so thanks to AnD for putting up the alert on this event. Here's me and my Smudge tee:

Love the rainbow colours of the logo and the capsleeves of the tee. But I went I guess mainly for the thrill of having first dibs on something! Course I like JJ's music too, but I am past the phase of mad obsession with musicians...it was interesting though to watch the queue of teen fans in front of the A.R.K House, some of whom apparently were there as early as 10.30am! Probably because the first 50 fans got a poster as well. But there's amazing stamina for you...Me and the poor/game friend I brought along got there about ten minutes to three, and then sat at the wine bar opposite for drinks and nachos waiting until it looked like they were letting people in. The ladies behind the bar wondered aloud about what was going on until we let them in on it (and it was them who told us some fans had 'camped' there since morning). Here are a couple of pics of the queue:

And here's the inside of the shophouse, where die hard fans stayed to sign 'good luck' messages. Apparently JJ turned up in person as a surprise afterwards, after we left! Argh! I couldn't stay for that though. (Sigh! But seeing that he is probably already taken by Charlene Choi it wouldn't have done me much good anyway. LOL.) Nonetheless it was fun being a small part of this.

Here's Beaujolais wine bar from which we watched the procession before we joined in...if you're ever along Ang Siang Hill, do drop in and order some nachos - the chili they serve them with is finger-licking good. They also serve wine (duh) and Stella Artois.

And here's a last look at the label. Hehe. =) Thanks AnD. And thanks JJ!

Well I am back and have been taking it slow the last few days. The Scotts Lounge is a nice place to wind down and relax...hung around till one-ish with the BFF taking stock of time past and the times ahead of us.

Have been listening to Anita Mui's 女人花, which is so terribly sad and poignant. She was beautiful. And all her success seemed like it never quite brought her the things she longed for...

Ah well. I shall be away for a week or so! Regrettably not to HK this time, but to Taipei. Food, clothes and Ma Ying-jeou, here I come. (And I come armed with the bear suit too...lol)

Watched the vid below on an MTV feature and thought I would link it here, so hopefully more people outside of Thailand will get to know of him. This is Tor Saksit, an up and coming, talented young singer. He reminds me of JJ Lin.  Apparently he - Tor, not JJ - used to be part of a group (B5) till they went their separate ways. This is one of his catchiest songs...couldn't get the riff out of my head.
