發表於: 2002-02-13 18:24:27 IP:202.156.x.x Dear all This is the first time I'm in this newly designed webpage...looks interesting. This year, I spent the new year in Shenzhen cos I had to perform there. It was an incredible experience. For my item alone, there were probably 200 people....there were people in robots suit and carnival vehicles and foreigners standing and waving from a big globe behind. Wa, tiny me was overwhelmed....then there were the fireworks and confetti etc etc... hahaha.. Before the performance, we were sleeping, eating and shopping and playing cards EVERY SINGLE DAY. Because the rehearsals were always on schedule, we always look at each other in disbelief when it is over in 10 minutes. Then the card playing began. The stakes were high and our reputations were at stake.There was no money involved, but hey, who says money is everything? Anyway, the bottom line is, I had a great time in shenzhen. The food was fantastic and the shopping's unbelievably cheap. And even though I could not spend it with my family, it was certainly memorable. Will I do it again? Sure, but on Chinese New Year's Eve? hmm..... Here's wishing all of you a healthy and wealthy Horse Year!!!!! PS: I'm a horse! yz

發表於: 2002-03-25 16:13:25 IP:202.156.x.x Hallo everyone *sigh There are so many things I want to say but don't know where to start. I'm so happy, so happy that I completed my first concert. I put in so much so much time and sweat in it that when I stepped down the stage after the last song, the tears just kept falling and falling. It was my dream come true, the dance, the music arrangement, the clothes, the crowd. It was everything I want in my concert. THANKS FOR COMING. And I want to say. Don't worry about me not being myself. Don't worry about my company making me someone I'm not. Because they can't. And I don't need to be different to be better. I think, I only need to be myself. If one day I were to stop singing on stage, I know I can spend the rest of my life in obscurity because of everyone of you and all these memories. Thank you very very much. Love yz

發表於: 2002-03-29 03:20:36 IP:202.156.x.x HI Was sleeping when I received the news...been busy these few days you see. These few days I've been recording the new album...pretty good I think. THere is one particular song which I think is great. The lyrics are well written....but then again, my chinese is not fantastic....heheheh. But when I read the lyrics, I can feel it. This song is going to make some people cry. I guess the workload is getting to me, I've been impatient and irritable. But tomorrow will be a better day, cos I'm going to buy myself a dog (the dog that "M" gave had to be returned, I cannot possibly keep a dog in Taiwan). SO, I will have company. And I'm looking forward to it. And since I'm on to the next album, I shall share something with all of you: Give me the courage to speak as I stand And spew, my uncontinuos, unwavering thoughts My beliefs, my two cents worth The courage to be the one who withstands All my ideals of a great man To be the best even if no one is watching To run as fast as my legs would take me even if, I'm the last to cross the line ('I forgot this part') To let myself die a little When you take that part of me away --------------yz

發表於: 2002-04-03 01:45:31 IP:202.156.x.x HALO finally I have finished my work in Singapore, will be flying off tomorrow....BUT I think my grandma is unwell.....so is sonny (The Other Male in the Family). Very worrying. Sonny, like me is picky about food, so he collapsed 2 days ago and I had to wake up to bring him to the vet.....he is recovering, I hope!! With so little time, I'm trying as hard as I can to do a good album. I think I've become a more difficult person....heheheh, quite unlike the laid back pace that I'm more acustomed to. But you know, when you don't have a choice, you make the best out of what you have. So work hard young ones. You are only young once. Let's 'JIA YOU' together. Love yz

發表於: 2002-04-30 00:40:45 IP:202.156.x.x Hallo Singapore's concert is over...heheh..I sang my lungs out that night, and dance with all my 'fiendish' might....heheh....I guess Singaporeans are way too shy.....maybe I wouldn't be as warm in my idol's concert, I don't know. But I'm glad the people I knew enjoyed it. BUT I really want to thank those enthusiastic few, with their banners and neon lights. I'm sure they all take time to prepare....they really light up the otherwise 'sedate' concert. And the fans from HK! Wa, I really think they are spending too much money. Save it for a rainy day, I'm sure all your money are hard-earned....like mine. But thank you very very much, it's very encouraging. Personally I think I talked too little during the concert.....I'm just so bad at this. I comfort myself by thinking I'm a 'singer', my main job is to sing, not talk...=P I think I communicate better through writing.....maybe, they should do pamphlets and pass them around during the concert so I can concentrate on my performance? no lar. that's a bad idea. These few days, I've been thinking about a lot a LOT of issues. Issues that I haven't been giving thought. If you are given something that u have always wanted (e.g. a 5 carat diamond, a wonderful spouse, Fantastic grades, a flying horse whatever) but you can't tell anyone about it nor share your happiness with anyone.......will you want it? Just a little something to keep those of you idle busy. ok see you soon. yz

發表於: 2002-07-04 16:49:20 IP:202.130.x.x hallo Yesterday I went shopping with my mum. I realise it is an almost impossible task. Every now and then I have to autograph......speaking of autograph, I really didn't want the malaysian guy to regret, me signing on his guitar. Didn't expect the hoo-ha over it. Maybe I should have, considering how he lugged it to my autograph session. anyway how's everyone? Why is it you seldom answer this question? I most certainly want to know what is going on in your life, that is different from mine, that may seem mundane to you but might probably be most desirable to me. ok I have to go.....hope everyone is well tonite!! yz

發表於: 2002-08-05 00:43:40 IP:202.156.x.x HI I'm home! Yesterday's concert went pretty well.....except for the ridiculously loud explosion and the wobbly chair.....other than that, i like it. Big thank you to all the fans from Malaysia, singapore, hk, taiwan and wherever else I missed. You know I don't like you all to spend unnecessary money. so please save it for a rainy day.....or help someone like Yanfang with that money?? aiyo I'm such a nag. Doing concerts is really exhausting....but it's beginning to grow on me.....it sure beats promotion!! wahaha I'm going to watch movies over the next few days n of course, prepare for my NDP performance....can't bear to think about it. Sends shivers down my spine. Today I bought dilbert and feng shui book, think I will go study it after I bathe. life is good so far for me, hope everyone is having a good time too. GOD BLESS ALL U KIND SOULS. yz

發表於: 2002-08-07 18:57:25 IP:202.156.x.x today I went to see Benjamin (same-bday-nephew). He is very cute. Didn't do much today.....actually, I can't decide if I like work or idling better.....or dislike. what else can I do? I need a new hobby......cannot waste time like that....the world is coming to an end in ......10 years? ok it's pure nonsense on my part.....but remember when everything comes to an end, you must have done whatever you wanted to do. Let's see.... shopping is a waste of time guitar is good stickers are good. gym is good.... but I'm so lazy after each concert. food is bad....hehehe.....moderation is the key books are good. ok....hope tomorrow will be a better day. yz

發表於: 2002-08-12 23:21:47 IP:202.156.x.x Dear ALL hi hi.. you know, that day at the Istana....I was way nervous. I didn't dare to look at them in the eye.....(Esp SM Lee Kuan Yew) but the president and the prime minister were very friendly.... then I avoided mingling by staying at a corner......the istana is very pretty. The white colonial building, the old graceful trees, all on top of a hill. The president is very lucky. these few days, I have been busy catching up with my friends. We invented new games and played hide n seek. It was fun. For your information, I did not lip sync a single song in my concerts. It was pure hard work in the gym for that kind of stamina. Believe me it is torture. I always refuse to work out once my concert is over. ok I'm going to watch tv. see you soon, yz

發表於: 2002-09-05 19:05:11 IP:202.156.x.x hallo all I'm really enjoying myself in singapore, every day I wake up at noon, read the papers, have lunch and read a book, go shopping, bring sonny out, play pool etc. Ab Fab. recently I bought a book by irvine welsh - glue. but I haven't really got into it yet......wahaha cos I bought another book 101 reykjavik (or something like that)....fickle fickle. and yet, These few days I worry over the way I spend my time. it feels so good when everything is at your pace. but it's like a stand still. if you are not moving forward, you might be slipping backwards. how? ironical isn't it? When you have what you want, you don't know what to do with it. MAkes you think twice about why you want it in the first place. vell. I'm going for dinner, and then think about what to do next. goodbye! yz

發表於: 2002-09-18 16:11:16 IP:202.156.x.x HI I just came back from china.....Dalian is quite a nice place. The climate is gd this time of the year. This time, after the performance, we went to the zoo! There were lions and hyenas and ostriches and this damn cute animal (TuoYang) I think it's a llama or watever.....wa I was telling them I want that for birthday. It is almost as tall as me, and it goes "meh meh" like a lamb. wa very cute. then we went to this part of a cliff whereby if you don't step on the car's accelerator, it will move backwards.....very amazing. Then I got stuck in Beijing. At 11 pm at the beijing international airport, the people at china airlines refuse to help me get on the plane, saying I need a stamp on the ticket fr the Singapore airlines, which was obviously closed at that hour. They then say I can only get on if I purchase another ticket WHICH I REFUSE. so I took my luggage and all back to the city and had a good dinner and sleep! Don't give in to nasty people ok. The reason why I sang a different song was because the ORGANIZERS thought "Cloudy Day" was too slow. ok I gotta go....have a nice day everyone.. yz

發表於: 2002-10-03 15:23:21 IP:202.156.x.x Dear all How are you? Well I went back to taiwan last week for some work and I watched Jay's concert. It was good. I'm sure Gnet would love to watch it wahaha. I HAVE VERY GOOD NEWS. MY ELDER SISTER IS PREGNANT n I'm very very happy. Must protect her in Paris.... must go for good food then....wahahaha very happy. My mum is going to be a grandmother....I don't think she likes the sound of that.... I won't. boy or girl? I think little boys are a nuisance, but because we have so many girls in the family, I think a boy can be tolerated....heheh. ok anything as long as 'it' is healthy. well my lasik will have to wait I suppose.....but LEO Man is amazingly resourceful, he actually listed the surgeon I asked for in singapore....must really hand it to you. I think I'm going to have fun this time round. I have been unfocused for so long, I should at least be focused about having fun yes? Love yz

發表於: 2002-11-09 12:02:19 IP:202.156.x.x HAllo This holiday has been really long and satisfying.....and still there are a dozen things I want to do and complete. After travelling, I realise there are a million things to do.....isn't it ironic? The definition of living life is really still a mystery. Does it mean relaxing by a scenic place and watch the world go by? Or fulfilling your potential, making every day a challenge, an adventure? I guess the answer would be: enjoy by stages. split our life into the different stages, then we begin to see more clearly what is the best thing to do, to optimise utillity. too serious a topic, let's move on. The reason why I don't type in Chinese because my thoughts does not flow as smoothly when I have to think of how to type the words.....so ....sorry please bear with me. And thank you all my translators. Well, I am embarking on my next album soon. Another journey, another experience. I had a few interesting encounters this time round but I can't put it in words or music. But I have full confidence that the musicians around me will be able to help me. We have begin our collection for the next album. Believe me it is an arduous task. we are all stressed....heheh...pray for me! I hope I will gather and get my song together soon......meanwhile enjoy your weekend! Smiles, yz

發表於: 2003-01-31 17:29:02 IP:202.156.x.x YO I'm so happy to be home this Chinese New year! I remember last year, I was in Shenzhen. After my performance, I immediately went for a swim in the hotel I was staying. The life guard obviously did not know who I was. " Hi, Why aren't you home for the new year?" "I have to work." "oh.....ok. Then why aren't you watching the New Year's program? It is a very important event here." "....." I figured if I told him I just finished performing, it would lead to a barage of questions. So I just feigned disinterest. As much as I hate to work during Christmas, New Year, Birthdays.....it was a very unforgettable experience in China. You could tell the importance of the event when the number of dancers is bigger than the number of audience, when the stage is bigger than the seating capacity, when there are all sorts of people from around the world to participate, when the recorded program is aired every single day for 1 week. Still,I would rather be home.....sleeping till noon, waking up for lunch and newspaper, then sleeping till tea time, waking up for dinner and gathering of friends or relatives. I love the chinese new year celebration. The new bed sheets, pyjamas, bottles of pineapple tarts, chocolate, red packets, crates of oranges, 'gong xi fa cai', little children, little children gambling for that extra $2 pocket money and disheartened faces when their cards are lousy, etc etc. It's so festive. I love holidays. I LOVE HAVING TIME OFF. I LOVE NOT DOING ANYTHING. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. But right now, I'm happy where I am. Have a very happy new year, and may all of you have a smashing year! (PS: I do not have my password for yanzi.com.tw Please post this message on that board on my behalf. Thank you.) Love yz

發表於: 2003-02-18 11:34:41 IP:202.156.x.x hi how\'s everyone? I\'m having a break now....isn\'t that great? You know I\'m thinking of doing one of those french manicure thingy......when I tell people I never had a manicure done, they always look at me in disbelief. I certainly have something against those acrylic plastic looking things that they stick on top of your natural nail, making that part of the finger seem thick and odd, and it has this odd curvature, the hand transforms, almost claw-like. It\'s incredibly ugly. So I don\'t think I\'ill go for that..... I tried as hard as I could to go through all the messages I\'ve missed.....but it\'s ALOT. So I\'m sorry if I missed out anything. You know, warner has been a great company. We had a lot of fun together and they respect me as a person, not a product. They have always listened, and it has been a very enriching 3 years. Of course I\'ll love to work with them, all my people are there. But as you know, contractual stuff is always complicated. We need to have a common goal and objective. We need to decide and agree upon our obligations and prohibitions. Seeing eye to eye on the same platform, is not an easy task. But we are both willing to try. It\'s certainly our first steps to our next journey. So, thank you all for your concerns. ok I\'m going to check out the nail place....see you soon ok? yz

發表於: 2003-03-19 02:13:53 IP:202.156.x.x Hallo everyone Firstly, wanna say thanks to all those who attended the concert at NTU. I\'m quite pleased with myself.....hehehe....I think my level of concentration was quite high.....PLUS the sound system was good, so the sound was good. I enjoyed performing that one hour. These two weeks have been very enjoyable. Life is more routine, I sleep more than eight hours everyday and eat well everyday. It has been really self-indulgent. I had so much time for myself, I had the chance to read my diary a few days ago. All my teenage anger and depression. I was half amused and half surprised to find out how different I have turned out. The 13 year-old-me would have been quite disturbed. I met my primary school teacher sometime back, (the one I was looking for but she never came to taiwan and I never looked for her). She still looks the same....except that she no longer ties her hair high on top of her head and she wasn\'t wearing canary yellow as I have so fondly remembered. But she still had that sparkle in her eyes. I was really happy to see her. This was how the conversation g \"Wa you are so different now ah?\" \"Ya I remember I was really an awkward kid.\" \"No, you weren\'t awkward, you were really quiet, and you loved to sing\" \"Quiet? No I wasn\'t quiet.\" \"Yes, you were so quiet in school.\" I always thought I was the most talkative girl in the world then my teacher came and told me I was very quiet. Maybe I only talk after class, maybe there were so many thoughts in my head I thought I was saying them aloud. Anyway, we talked for about 20 minutes while my girl friend tapped her feet impatiently. So it ended there. You know, you never know how you would turn out in the end. I swear I was a brooding pensive girl and my favourite story book was chicken little telling the whole world the sky is falling down. But now my hph reads, It\'s a wonderful day today! I don\'t understand it myself, but I must have met something wonderful. And another war is coming and then there is SARs. Frankly I\'m scared to death. And there is no conclusion to this message. Life is great now....and I hope it\'s great for all of you too. Love yz

發表於: 2003-04-02 00:32:10 IP:139.175.x.x Today a friend of mine told me that he has been in love with me for some time.....I almost didn\'t know what to say... It was certainly a cruel april fool\'s joke. Within 1 and 1/5 seconds I had to think of something appropriate to say. And that was it, an april fool\'s prank.... But then again, how many things happened in reality today? How many hearts were truly broken? and how much tears freely flowed? Too many. This april fool\'s day I shall start taking melatonin to alleviate my dreams-filled nights which I presume, will only get worse. I wish I have a lot more to say....but I don\'t. Love yz

I still have insomnia...every night I dream about what happens in the day and what worries me....last night I dreamt that I had a fever of 59C (ok ridiculous) and there will be nights I dream of having difficulty doing something....(like driving a limo) As compared to my last letter I think I\'m a lot happier.... Can\'t help worrying about SARS though.....Haven\'t been working for so long...not used to it. But am working on something totally unrelated (will tell you later on when I get better at it). I think SARS has affected most of us, but besides not working, my life is still pretty much the same. It is not that infectious. Build up on your immune system by taking vitamins, anti-oxidants, proper diet, exercise....we should be able to get by. Those who fall sick easily should take extra precaution. But whatever happens, LIFE GOES ON. Love the people around you and do whatever you have longed to do but never did for whatever reason. I think that\'s all for the update for today.....hope everyone is healthy and happy. Love yz

I think I\'ve past the cursing and swearing stage, \"I HOPE THEY GET HERNIA!!\" I don\'t understand how any normal day of my life can turn out to be so potentially heinous. I don\'t understand how the people working for these magazine find any joy in their work. At the end of the day, what they do really amounts to nothing for them. How do you take pride in a job which intentions are to put people like us in a uncomfortable situation (I\'m putting it mildly here), by magnifying our human side, that we are like everyone else? but then again, why should I bother? =) (award winning smile) Today I went for recording. I am very proud to say it was a job well done WAHAHA. Editing is very tiring but gratifying. Piece by piece. fwah. Tomorrow will probably be another day of rest for me....muahaha, more shopping and house admiring muahaha. I\'m sorry if I seem like a bimbo, but I love to look at pretty things, hear pretty sounds, think pretty thoughts....you get the picture. Don\'t have anything else to report, hope you all are healthy and happy. love yz

So silly right? I think I\'m very happy.Cos dennis is here with me haha. But I think I haven\'t been to taiwan for a long time ya? I think my longest break yet....I fear that my Chinese might have deteriorated....but you all will help me right? I miss all my friends in Taiwan I really hope I can see all of you soon. BUT ACTUALLY, I\'ve been very busy here. There are a thousand and one things on my mind and last night I couldn\'t sleep til 4am. This week my pottery is interrupted and I don\'t know when I can resume. It\'s therapeutic. You know the last time I was in Malaysia, my colleagues told me I forgot to thank the Malaysian fans during MTV Awards!!! You know it\'s not intentional but still I\'m very sorry. I think I will go to malaysia for promotion this time round. I promised Howard. ok I have to go edit my song. Be patient ya? I\'ll be working again SOON. Love yz

Chinese New Year is one of the rare time when EVERYONE gets together, then we play poker or mahjong with tiny stakes. And we get red packets that come with good wishes "healthy/prosperous/smooth year ahead!" So it's great to be home!! Hope you all have a sumptous dinner and many red packets too. GONG XI FA CAI.

發表於: 2004-09-01 12:55:53 IP:202.156.x.x hallo, I just came back from a trip with 4 of my girlfriends of 12 years. As expected, it was filled with non-stop shopping and feasting and shopping and pigging. It is one thing to see each other over a lunch or dinner, it's another, to spend 4 days, all 24 hours of each, being with one another. Naturally, we had our differences. We had differences in food, in clothes, in "what the room temperature should be", how we should spend the afternoon, how long we should tan, what time we should wake up.... On one particular shopping excursion, we decided to break into different groups and meet up after an hour. W: "Good thing we split up, I think we were looking at really different things." J: "Ya but I thought we should really shop together with M, I mean, her clothes are quite uninspiring, and dull....we should help her pick out stuff." S: "Maybe she's happy with her stuff, maybe she doesn't need what we think she needs." J: "But she cannot go on looking frumpy at 26?" W: "Ok la, maybe she's happy with how she looks. " S: "Ok if we see something that we like and she might like, then we'll buy it for her." Turns out the 'gorgeous' mock-croc clutch bag was, "not very practical, I can hardly put my wallet in but thanks anyway guys!" She ends up with a bag she feels pressurized to carry when we go out together next time. When we assume that what we have is better than what another person has, should we try to change their mind? Should we try to tell them that their 'precious' is "dull and uninspiring" and that they are NOT better off when in fact, their senses tells them that they are? Who is better off? Say if I hate durians, and someone tells me I'm missing out because they are sweet and fragrant. Am I still missing out if I think they are gross? (FYI: I like durians) A not so recent article wrote that the Africans, though having marginally less material comforts than most developed countries, were happier people. Who is better off? Something for you guys to chew on. see u later alligators. Love yanzi

My foot still feels odd although I don't feel any pain. I think I have to align the tendon next week or something. I'm terrified of pain, the therapist will have to be GENTLE. I want to wish all of you a very happy new year, and that it will be a exciting and gratifying year for all of you (and me). PS. Our first tub of pineapple tarts is already gone. I prefer the hidden-pineapple-tart. Not the 'open' one. hee hee. yz

I will like to reiterate that YANWO is NOT a profit organisation. All fees go into the management and update of YANWO, I think. I don't work inside Warner I don't know. Nevertheless I think the internet is certainly a very good way of keeping contact with all this distance between people. I think someday I will write a book. I have many stories to tell but not all suitable over internet.... but when you try to round off the edges a bit, it doesn't come out the way it should be. Bitter, gritty, acidic, hilarious, pungent or a mild sweet after taste. Life is amazing. Hope you all are happy too... yz

發表於: 2005-05-02 23:04:09 IP:218.166.x.x Dear all HI! It's raining very heavily outside. I'm at a recording studio right now and I haven't got much to share.... Hmm. ha. yodelay heeeee. How about a lesson in.....LDMR. Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns. This concept I learnt in Economics in Junior College (or High School). The first time I learnt it I was amazed by this simple yet extremely concise way of summarizing human beings. Imagine you are very hungry, you begin to eat what you have longed to eat.....say a donut. The first donut is heaven. You finish one in 10 seconds and lick the powdered sugar off your lips. The 2nd donut you might take 15 seconds to finish. And when you are offered a 3rd, you are hesitant. And if you are forced to eat a 4th, the donut begins to tasted like a ring of lard. This Law states that wth every increase in consumption of a unit, your utility (satisfaction) will reach a point where it will increase at a decreasing rate and eventually start to decline. You would want to smack anyone who offers you the next donut. It is so relevant in my everyday life that I want to share it with you. How do you prevent it? You can't if you offer the same thing again and again. It has to be something else, say a mint, a yogurt drink, a chocolate chip cookie. NO I'm not refering to the people who queue up forever to bring me the donuts (I SHARE them, LDMR does not apply here.) I'm talking about this industry. The fickle consumers, the same old artistes and the one thing that we offer, music. How do we offer something else? Hmm. Ha. I don't have all the answers. ok that's all folks. growing up, yz
