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

2011-05-07T15:06:00.005+08:00

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

2011-05-07T09:21:00.003+08:00

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.

Recording in progress

2011-04-24T11:15:00.005+08:00

PS (13/8/2011): Nothing confirmed for the album yet.

A-do's song is a "KTV song" in Secrets for Sale

2011-03-20T17:09:00.004+08:00

Spotted 他一定很爱你 listed in the ending credits as a "KTV song". Will post here if I find out anything more.

In the meantime, A-do will be appearing in two star-studded concerts in China, one in end March and the other in end April.

Sidetrack: Jeff Chang's 2010 Singapore autograph session date

2010-10-20T16:54:00.006+08:00

Saw that someone looking for this information came in here, to a post on A-do's Taiwan autograph session instead. Thanks for your interest! :)

They have been announcing the date, time and venue on Y.E.S. 933 lately, so stay tuned there. What I did find online is that the session will be on 30 October, next Saturday. It's also stated on the 933 website that he will be attending the Singapore Hit Awards on 29 October, next Friday.

Just thought I could help to answer this. Although A-do and Jeff are no longer in OB together (A-do didn't renew his contract earlier this year, and I heard Jeff has set up his own company), Jeff is after all a good singer who deserves our support. :)

Update: The event will be held at City Square.

Get Every Touching Moment for free legally

2010-08-14T18:01:00.008+08:00

I just saw somebody from the US coming in here seeking a Mediafire link to download this song. This is not the way I get copies of A-do's songs (or those of other singers for that matter) that are available for sale.

Some time back there was a link on A-do's official Facebook page directing people to page for the free Every Touching Moment Lite Apple application. It contains the audio file with lyrics, and photos.

http://itunes.apple.com/app/every-touching-moment-lite/id376756433?mt=8

Those who want a little more can buy this version which also includes the music video.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/every-touching-moment/id370891208?mt=8

Both applications are supported by the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

I've already got my copy of the coffee table book + CD + DVD in June, and I saw it as a Recommended Bestseller at Vivocity's page one.

PS: I just checked my visitor stats again and noticed that this Ohio person I mentioned in the opening paragraph was Googling "jj lin every touching moment mediafire". I think this is a good time to mention that JJ released a song in 2005 lamenting music piracy. The irony was that this particular song became sought after on music-sharing websites along with all the other songs he released.

Happy National Day 2010!

Every Touching Moment

2010-04-17T11:15:00.007+08:00

Sorry for the slow updates... this will continue till early May because of exams.

A while back it was briefly mentioned in an Internet report that A-do, JJ, Tanya and Stefanie were going to do a song for the Shanghai Expo. On Sunday the Malaysian radio station MY FM posted on their website they were going to air the song on Monday, and I heard it myself on Y.E.S. 93.3 on Monday night. On Tuesday Straits Times and Zaobao reported on it.

On Wednesday I was reading the papers in the school library, with Tuesday's Zaobao still there, with their photos on the front page. Within half an hour I witnessed a guy and a girl pick up the paper, look at the photos, then put it down again.

I am glad there will be a CD+DVD set released on the 30th at selected CD shops. I will certainly want a copy of the song and music video to keep.

I am listening to A-do's Werewolf (nearly typed it as Werewoof just now) on the 933 chart, it's the number 16 song this week. Last week Crying Ox fell from number 10 to number 12, I wonder where it will be this week.

I would have keyed in the Chinese title of the show, but right now my Sougou Pinyin IME has gone missing in action... I think I need to reboot to get it back. Will come back and update this.

(Update: The show is called《明日之星》.)

A-do and JJ on 100% Entertainment on Channel U tomorrow!

2010-03-18T20:20:00.001+08:00

It aired in Taiwan today, and will be on Channel U tomorrow from 5pm to 6pm.

Tweets about A-do's e-awards performance

2010-03-13T22:08:00.003+08:00

Just watched the clip of Liu Ling Ling and Budak Pantai performing and found it very entertaining. I think among all the artistes performing tonight, they are covering the most songs.

What's happening is that they are uploading short videos of the ceremony one by one. Currently A-do's in the video of BY2 appearing on the red carpet.

This calls for the addition of the label called "reviews".

There were already some reviews in China (although the album will only be released there next month), I just haven't gotten round to posting the links yet.

A-do's performing here!

It will start at 6pm, on http://sgeawards.omy.sg/.

It's great they are doing this, as this is a ticketed event. Probably because tickets have been sold out.

A-do will be going on One Million Singer

2010-02-24T12:17:00.003+08:00

I noticed that there have been a couple of people coming here after Googling "One Million Singer" (or something else along that line), so will briefly write that A-do will be going on One Million Singer as part of the coming publicity for Fear No More. The other TV and radio shows he will be going on from tomorrow are stated on his pixnet blog.

I have two tests tomorrow and homework due after that, so hopefully will be back during the weekend to write something more detailed.

A-do nominated for Singapore e-Awards

2010-02-15T10:15:00.005+08:00

http://sgeawards.omy.sg/categories/

As A-do has been rather quiet for the past 2 years I was pleasantly surprised to read on 成义国杜 (we are back to http://ado.5d6d.com for the time being, until the server for www.yesado.com is reopened) that he has been nominated for the Most Popular Local Singer Award.

Registration with a NRIC or FIN (Foreign Identification Number for foreigners in Singapore) is required, and only one vote can be made per day. Voting closes on 28 Feb.

My votes for the other categories are Huang Jing Lun for Most Popular Male Singer, and Cheer Chen's 《鱼》(a beautiful song about moving on in life) as the Radio 100.3 Most Popular Song.

Apologies if you are only seeing a white box... it starts playing automatically when I go in to edit this post, but I still see just a white box when I am done. It's viewable at the link above.

Thank goodness for Google Books! I heard of this article years ago, but couldn’t find a copy online before Google Books. Enjoy.

By the way, A-do's debut was on 1 April 2002, not 2001 as stated in the article. (In fact, there are currently no posts tagged 2001 here.)

After hearing《听见牛在哭》on radio 1003

2010-02-03T13:37:00.003+08:00

It's wonderful, it sounds a little like one of the nice songs from the 90s. The DJs even took the trouble to announce the names of the lyricists (Eric Lin and Dr. Moon) and the composer (Dr. Moon) at the beginning of the song.

Hitoradio (Hit FM) writeup on A-do’s new album and song

2010-02-02T20:25:00.004+08:00

http://www.hitoradio.com/music/1e_1.php?topic_id=517

So this album is going to be full of karaoke friendly songs.

I always enjoy reading these writeups for A-do's albums - what they say about life always make sense, and in a literary way too.
