Angela Chang - 5th Season Album
After taking a break for almost two years, Taiwan pop princess Angela Chang returns to the music scene in September 2009 with her long-awaited sixth album.

The heart condition that she was diagnosed with soon after the release of her last album “Ang5.0” was due for the long absence, but following a period of rest and recovery, Angela is now staging a fierce comeback, with new looks and new singing styles.

She recently recorded a duet with Harlem Yu for the theme song of Zhang Ziyi's comedy “Sophie's Revenge”. The new album, intriguingly titled “The 5th Season”, include 10 new songs and their music videos, and the first single "White".

What's on my playlist?

@ Home
Finally, I am left with one week of class to end the entire semester, though this semester I really appreciate my lecturers for having to broaden my horizon with knowledge of psychology, financial accounting know-how and the knowledge to do at least to do some basic sums should not be a problem, maybe.

I am pressurised with the fact that this semester I had to resit for one of my previous semester module which during the exam, I was pretty confident in doing well, but I guess, there is always his way and arrangement to do it with a second chance to prove myself.

Though, I was assisted by my previous semester lecturer with relevant notes which now as due to work, I do not have the time to read them. I do feel bad as I hardly have time to spare out for my studies.

Sometimes, I do doubt capabilities to handle so many modules and those who are working at the same time, my respect to you if you can handle so well, do share with me, how you manage your time so well between studies and work?

Ronald Cheng X William So Live Concert @ Max Pavilion

Ronald Cheng and William So are two popular male singers in the 90s especially, their love songs had definitely drew lots of fond memories and their songs had topped in various KTV charts in the 90s.

These two singers had brought lots of surprise, however their songs are too many which at their concert @ Max Pavilion, not all songs which touched our hearts were sang. But definitely, if there are to be back for another Live Concert in Singapore, I will show my support.

Before the concert, I had been listening to Ronald Cheng Songs as songs from his compilation, Freak ( New + Best Selections) released by Gold Typhoon e.g. 怪胎, 戒情人, 你的眼睛背叛你的心, 最愛的人不是你, 絕口不提! 愛你, 左右為難 featuring 鄭中基 & 張學友 are some songs that are popular selection in KTV till today.

Currently in my mp3:

Coco Lee - EAST WEST Album

EAST WEST Album Cover

Coco Lee is one of the female singers who had successfully entered the US music industry with her songs. Recently, she was invited by National Geographic channel to sing a theme song for World Earth Day. Though, she had been keeping a low profit of herself and her singing career because of her plans of marriage with her boyfriend, yet her comeback to the entertainment buzz is the right choice.

In my earlier posts, I had introduced Coco Lee –EAST WEST album to all bloggers. As the ambassador for National Geographic channel of the Green Earth Project, Coco’s BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag) is the theme song for 2009 - Save the Earth project.

Party time is the second album hits which brought her to the limelight. Coco Lee was in Singapore for her latest album promotion autograph session this afternoon @ Bugis Junction, 4pm. I was impressed with her excellent presentation. She is definitely a diva, the charisma, her smiles, sincerity, and her attitudes towards all her fans really melt everyone’s heart under such a hot day @ Bugis.

I was one of her fans, since Di Da Di album. But as she had not been coming to Singapore to promote her albums, thus in her EAST WEST autograph @ Bugis Junction, she tried her best to fulfil her fans wishes by having her autograph signed on our albums.
