R.I.P. Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
On Sina microblog, all "posted from iPhone" and "posted from "iPad" footers have been changed to "posted from Steve Jobs' iPhone" and "posted from Steve Jobs' iPad".
Here's how it looks, on a post on A-do's Sina microblog posted from an iPhone:
I respect Mr Jobs' creativity and fighting spirit. May he rest in peace.

2006 May Day performance & election
As promised, I have found the 2006 Zaobao (not Wanbao) article on the Stefanie Sun Baidu forum.
These are the relevant parts.
2006/5/2 《心连心庆五一》演唱会，华巫印艺人齐歌舞
联合早报 黄靖晶
孙燕姿、阿杜、蔡淳佳、郭美美等新加坡歌手，上周六聚集一堂载歌载舞，跟国人一起欢庆劳动节，随后他们又要各自飞往海外，继续为自己的歌唱事业打拼……
（省略）
职总合作社（NTUC）为庆祝劳动节，向全民致敬，前晚在政府大厦前的草场（Padang）举行“心连心庆五一”演唱会，找来本地华、巫、印三族艺人载歌载舞，包括孙燕姿、阿杜、蔡淳佳、郭美美等，由权怡凤、葛米星、彭耀顺及李心钰主持。
（省略）
阿杜：“乔装”投票避歌迷
阿杜有五一劳动情意结，所以主动要求出席“心连心庆五一”演唱会。工头出身的他，第一张专辑《他一定很爱你》就是在五一劳动节推出。
他说：“以前当工头时，每逢五一劳动节都很开心，因为大家可以放假。”
回忆4年前发第一张专辑《他一定很爱你》，阿杜说：“难忘当时紧张的心情，因为是第一张专辑，不知道未来会怎样，那种压力很辛苦。”
合约新动向？
阿杜跟海蝶的合约即将结束，他说，下个月应该就会宣布是否续约：“我还在思考……我是歌手，希望以唱歌为主，所以最重要的考量，是希望公司将我的规划重心放在唱歌部分。”
自家溶金，差点失火
阿杜受母亲影响，喜欢戴金、卖金。他说：“妈妈很喜欢金，我每次出国，通常会在当地的金店或在机场的金店，买金给自己和送妈妈。”
当艺人前，阿杜喜欢戴金饰，当歌手后的形象主要以银色配件为主，少有机会戴金，于是阿杜买了个溶金器，把金饰溶成金条，过程有惊无险，他说一次差点把屋子烧掉，情节非常搞笑。
他说：“当时只有我和妈妈在家，她在楼下看电视，我在楼上溶金。我一不小心倒在地上着火，我大声喊：‘妈！着火了！’她冲上楼，我们忙着灭火，之后我也没有再溶金了。”
买屋防止乱花钱
阿杜最近花了60万，在武吉知马买了公寓，目前在装修中，两个多月后可搬进去。他说：“发新专辑后回新加坡，看了这栋屋子感觉很满意，很快就买下来。其实，买屋子也好，不然我会乱乱花钱，哈哈！”
乔装功夫了得
来临大选，住在东区的阿杜首次有投票机会。阿杜是否担心投票当天被歌迷认出来？
阿杜自信笑笑说：“我的乔装功夫很好，有试过跟10个艺人碰面，10个都认不出我，只要我不开口说话。”至于乔装的秘诀，阿杜只能透露说：“头发很重要。”

A-do's new song is called 相爱的泪水
Sina microblog of someone involved in the making of the music video: http://t.sina.com.cn/2072110277
It is a duet with mainland Chinese singer Hu Yang Lin.
On a side note, today is Polling Day in Singapore. Just cast my first vote ever. I am privileged to be able to consider two teams of candidates and their ideas.
Before the previous election in 2006, there was a Wanbao article about the various Singaporean singers coming home to cast their vote. (A-do was one of them.) I will see if I can dig it up.
