Designing Styles for Female College Students , S.H.E Laments No Time Off for Year End Holidays, Sunday December 14, 2008 Taiwan

S.H.E who became endorsers for women fashion early this year certainly demonstrated their huge popularity and successfully achieved an impressive sales increase for the clothes line. The manufacturers were so happy with the result that they decided to hold a “Christmas Change of Fashion Show ~ S.H.E My Personal Stylist” function to show their appreciation to the consumers. Thus, allowing all S.H.E fans a chance to interact with S.H.E in close proximity.This focus of this function was to create fashion styles suitable for the three big year-end holidays including Christmas, New Year and Chinese Year New, so that all young women could be dressed in a fashionable style similar to that of S.H.E for these special occasions. In order to achieve satisfactory result befitting of being stylists, S.H.E already had discussions on the various styles suitable for the various occasions so that everyone can attend these most important year end events in high fashion. Yesterday (Dec 13th), in order to increase interest for the function, the organizers invited several popular female college students from the show [College Students, Are You Ready?] to appear as models so that this fashion show in which S.H.E will be acting as stylists for the first time would be a huge success. To no one’s surprise, the styles created by S.H.E enabled the college students to look fashionable even in casual sports wear. They were so satisfied with the look that they wanted to go to holiday parties dressed like that.However, the incredibly creative S.H.E lamented that basically these three big holidays meant no time off for them because as they got closer to year end, their working schedule became even tighter, so they had to be satisfied with creating styles for others to go partying. However S.H.E also expressed that they had not spend New Year’s Eve in Taiwan for many years, finally this year there is a chance for them to do so in Taiwan. Although they still had to work and even must take the rapid transit to rush to locations at the opposite ends of Taiwan, but at least afterwards, they could go home and spend New Year’s with their families and they would even be able to count down the New Year with Taiwanese fans. This would be their greatest satisfaction.

S.H.E teaches The Secret of "Chasing Women", Sunday October 26 , 2008 Taiwan

Yesterday, S.H.E, bringing their newest album [FM S.H.E], arrived in Beijing. During their exclusive interview with Sohu Entertainment, the three discussed what they considered a good man: considerate, generous, talented, responsible, worship-worthy…amidst the conversation, Hebe even mentioned that Jay Chou had composed one of the songs in the album. In comparison to the flurry of romantic rumors previously, she seemed to be very open about it.Jay Chou Contribution for the New AlbumNo Fear of Romantic Rumors from HebeIn their exclusive interview with Sohu Entertainment, S.H.E who was working hard to promote their new album, openly revealed that one of the songs in the album “Silence” was composed by Hebe’s rumored boyfriend Jay Chou. This was not the first time Jay collaborated with them. The earlier romantic rumor was also started with Hebe collaborating with him on his MV “Going Backward”. This time with him helping out again, the female lead in this romantic rumor, Hebe, profusely praised the song written by Jay Chou as being very good, without any hints of intentionally dodging the issue. Her open attitude was as if the romantic rumor had never happened.S.H.E Reveals Their Standards for an Ideal ManTeaches the Secret of Chasing WomenWhen asked as their standards for an ideal man, the three each had their own ideas: For Selina, an ideal man must be honest and responsible; Ella’s ideal man must be comfortable and easy to get along; only Hebe’s standard for an ideal man was more special – “He must be have some type of specialty that can make me worship him.” There seemed to be a wealth of meaning between the lines.There were also men that S.H.E particularly disliked, such as men that are “petty, disagreeable…” and other similar characteristics. At the same time, they also revealed to all men their close-kept secret of “chasing women”: [If she says “I love you” 1000 times to you, then you have to say “I love you” back 1001 times. Afterwards hug her and kiss her. Then everything will be OK.

Jay Chou JieLun Sees Only Hebe; S (Selina) and E (Ella) Mock Themselves, Saying That They Aren't People!

S.H.E. was able to get Jay Chou JieLun-- who was previously rumored to be with member Hebe-- to guest for the last session of their radio program, FM S.H.E. The two rumored parties were more than "not awkward" with each other-- they even discussed underwear quite freely!-- but, rather curiously, in speaking of female artists with whom he has collaborated, President Chou only mentioned Hebe. This made the other two members of S.H.E. shout, "Are we not people, too?!"S.H.E.'s on-line radio program-- broadcast for only a month-- is about to come to an end; their last guest is Jay Chou. Both parties promoted each other's respective albums-- 我的電台 - FM S.H.E./My Radio Station - FM S.H.E. and 魔杰座/Capricorn.During the interview, the topic unexpectedly shifted to underwear! The three girls wanted to know whether Jay, who typically doesn't wear any underwear, has ever "gotten caught" in his zipper. Selina even suddenly blurted out, "Or do you shrink back?" This made Jay laugh awkwardly in embarrassment; S.H.E. could only use "We were talking about the skin on your stomach!" to justify the question. Afterwards, Jay admitted frankly that he hadn't expected them to ask such a question. He also revealed that, once, when he was filming a cellphone commercial, he actually forgot to zip up!When asked to "name three female artists with whom (he) has collaborated," President Chou mentioned only Hebe. This made Ella shout, "You could have just answered S.H.E.! But you only mentioned Hebe... are we not people, too?!" Selina said, "That's right. One of us is a pig, and the other a chicken!" But the concerned party seemed to be quite poised and self-possessed; although he was in front of Hebe, Jay spoke freely, revealing that he had his first kiss at age 14 in the 大安森林公園 Ta-An Forest Park.Jay said that, if he had to choose one of the three girls to be the female lead of a movie, he would choose Hebe. His reasoning was this: "Selina is too "expensive"-looking; Ella is too tomboyish." Ella said slyly, "We're friends, not "rice (dinner) friends"!", deliberately referring to Selina's lawyer "rice (dinner) friend" to make a joke.Jay cleared up his previous statement ("The thing that I regret the most is going to 代官山 Daikanyama"); he said, "I was only joking!" As for his "We broke up last year," an answer he gave on a television program, Jay said, "It was a slip of the tongue. I always thought we broke up last year." He denied, however, that this was evidence of his finding "Miss Patty Hou PeiCen" hard to forget.

S.H.E Advocates “Girls Ought To Be Strong” by Practising “The Art of Self Defence in Love”, Wednesday October 8, 2008 Taiwan

S.H.E practises “The Art of Self Defence in Love” to fight the conventional societal ideals of beauty. The trio advocates for girls not to be just concerned with looks, but also to be confident and “Girls’ Ought To Be Strong”. In their MV, the trio took on the roles of Love Coaches to listen to the love problems of the girls and encourage them to stand up for themselves. In addition, SHE also extends their invitation to fans to join them for the “S.H.E TOP GIRL New Songs Concert” on 19 October. Please visit www.him.tw for more details.In their latest album FM S.H.E, one of the new songs – “Girls Ought To Be Strong” adapted part of its tune from Wong Fei Hong’s “Men Ought To Be Strong”. The music genre is the line of “Chin-Hop”, a blend of Chinese music and Hip-Hop. The lyrics encouraged girls not to be beaten in Love, and the need to be true to and love themselves; advocating for strong female awareness. A martial arts coach was invited to teach S.H.E “The Art of Self Defence in Love” in preparation for filming of the MV. The 1st stunt is to kick away the Poor Love that broke the hearts of the girls; while the 2nd stunt is to open one’s arms to welcome New Romance. The 3rd stunt is to learn how to Protect and Love oneself while in a relationship. Next, S.H.E imparted these stunts to the rest of the girls trapped in love and encouraged them to be independent and stand up for themselves. There is no need to wait in vain for Prince Charming to appear, but to be proactive to embark on the journey to Protect Love.S.H.E expressed that, “No one is perfect. Hence, do not compromise in love just because you feel inferior. We girls, must be confident of ourselves. If you have loved the wrong person, just get out and move on. Only then will you eventually meet Mr Right!” Meanwhile, “Mdm Xi Bi” who addressed fans’ love problems on air in FM SHE weekly, offered her usual advice to all the girls indecisive in love, “That person is not the only one on Earth, no point wallowing in sorrow over him”.While practising their stunts, S.H.E had fun sparring with each other too. However when the trio donned the hot-trendy-sexy-babe outfit while filming, they had to stifle their laughter as they felt that the clothes were contradictory and out of place with Chinese Kungfu. Subsequently, the trio changed into sportswear to act as Love Coaches and listened to the array of love problems of the girls present. SHE found the love problems beyond their imagination and felt for their heartaches, in the end, they also joined the girls to swear and cry.S.H.E has always been very independent, but occasionally when faced with love problems, they would feel lost too. While recording “Girls Ought To Be Strong” in the studio, Ella suddenly saw a fleeting shadow behind the recording producer and was scared stiff. She was stunned momentarily before she “escaped” from the studio. Pale-faced and with a quiver in her voice, she asked the recording producer, “Did you see anything just now?” Ella has never met with any strange encounters in the company’s recording studio prior to this; but once she composed herself after the incident, she was inspired and felt even more for the song. Therefore she took the initiative to suggest different ideas to the producer to enrich the singing parts of the song. In the past, Ella would be in-charge of the Rap parts in SHE’s songs. However upon Ella, Selina and Hebe’s discussion, they decided to do the Rap together to bring out the impact of the song to encourage girls to stand up for themselves in Love. As a result, the effect was indeed very good. The trio felt that they are actually cheering for, and encouraging themselves to be brave in love too, when singing this song.For most time in the past year, S.H.E had held concerts overseas. Hence on 19 October, to the delight of many fans in Taiwan, S.H.E will hold the “S.H.E TOP GIRL New Songs Concert” in Selina’s school. SHE reveals that other than performing the new songs from “FM SHE”, they will also be showing off their new dance steps.

Swimming in the Buff Trend? Record sales exceed 100,000, Ella to swim bareback, Wednesday September 25, 2008 Taiwan

Swimming in the Buff Trend? Record Sales Exceed 100,000, Ella to Swim BarebackS.H.E exudes their sexiness; Hebe and ELLA were donned in flowing dresses, with only Selina being more conservatively dressed. However the sharp-tongued Selina actually used Ella as a sales record wager by declaring, “If record sales exceed 100,000, she will wear only swimming trunks and go bareback.” Once again, another group of artistes has ride on the trend of swimming in the buff.New album – FM SHE uses webcast as an idea. The trio had dressed “more formally” to publicise their new album and officiate the opening of their web station. It was a rare occasion to see Ella in a floral dress with a deep V-plunging neckline. In addition, her well-endowed figure totally refuted earlier reports of her being “itsy-bitsy”. Meanwhile, Hebe does not wish to be outdone and kept standing up to bend forward and bow in attempt to show her small cleavage. Selina was dressed more sombrely and when teased by media that she was perhaps under strict supervision by her rumoured lawyer boyfriend, she quickly clarified, “If all 3 of us are dressed too sexily, the whole group will look weird.”While their record company has set target for this album to be the year’s champion for record sales, S.H.E was more casual about it. When touted by media to ride on the recent “swimming in the buff” trend, Selina actually said, “Ok, if record sales exceed 100,000, then ask Van Fan Yi Chen to swim in the buff again.” But in the end, everything became distorted and ELLA was asked to swim bareback in swimming trunks. In response, Ella said in style, “I could, but I worry everyone will mistake me as a guy.”Selina wrote the lyrics for a new song “Already Silent” in the album. She explained that the music was composed by Jay Chou upon hearing her love story, however she refused to reveal who the male was. “Go ask Jay, I told him everything. But should he let the cat out, I will definitely tell on him too.” In conjunction with another song, “Wo Ai Fan Nao” (lit transl: I Love Troubles), the trio has made some small losses in their investments recently, and could only console themselves by saying, “If only we had not buy.”At least with Meng Niu concerts to proceed as scheduled, the trio had no troubles in their career. Selina was initially saying, “Most people can usually detoxify by drinking water.” However when the media asked about Meng Niu, the trio acted blur and replied, “Everything is still under investigation, but since products were taken off-shelf, it is inevitable for the atmosphere to be tensed.” Despite they were unable to get any break with the scheduled concerts going as planned, the trio are nonetheless happy to be able to meet up with fans.

Ah Mei smiled and said, “When I first heard that S.H.E was going to interview me I thought it was for a television program, unexpectedly it’s actually for radio.” S.H.E who usually has a lot to talk about becomes a DJ for the first time. They were so anxious that they kept staring at their scripts and while talking they even screwed up sometimes, Ah Mei couldn’t help smiling secretly when she saw this.Ah Mei who is recently leaving a secretive life, goes for recording everyday, play with dogs and her niece, isolated until her friends wonder if she had vanished into thin air, her manager also feel that she seems to be suffering from autism; hence Ah Mei told S.H.E, “Didn’t accept interviews for so long, the first time is given to you girls.” S.H.E also shouted to fans that miss Ah Mei, “She didn’t disappear!

She remembered that there was once she had an outdoor concert which involve ticket sales at Guangzhou on the eve of typhoon, the weather condition was very bad, “Not only did it rained heavily with thunder, the wind was also so strong that the scene beside the stage had to be taken down. While singing halfway, the instruments one by one had no sound because of electricity trip, the only sound left was my microphone, and hence all the musicians and harmonizers stood in front of the stage and clapped their hands for rhythm. After singing three songs without music I asked everyone to go home quickly to avoid danger.”The one hour interview ended very quickly, S.H.E and Ah Mei had a great time chatting, Selina even invited Ah Mei generously out for singing, however because Ah Mei had to practice for the concert, she had to reject S.H.E’s offer, she can only tell them with regrets, “Next time you girls want to go KTV have to look for me!”

S.H.E Celebrated 7th Year Anniversary , Selina Led Everyone to Tears, Friday September 12, 2008 Taiwan

September 11 was the anniversary date for S.H.E. To celebrate with the fans who had been with them throughout their journey, the record company specially chose to hold a birthday party at McDonald’s at 9:11 pm. Other than eating and drinking, the fans were also invited to party overnight so that the special day of 9/11 would become even more memorable.This year was the 7th year since the formation of S.H.E. Today’s activities started off with a children’s version of S.H.E, three little girls who were really seven years old and dressed in similar outfits as S.H.E wore for [Miss Universe], their first release of the new album. When the music started, the three “cute” version of little S.H.E jumped onto the stage and danced the popping moves from the MV. After the performance, the adult version came out to start the celebration. The little S.H.E also presented flowers and kisses to wish S.H.E a happy birthday. The record company presented a birthday cake. Everyone sang happy birthday together, not only for S.H.E but also for the fans whose birthday was 9/11 as well.On this 7th birthday, the trio made their birthday wishes and co-incidentally all three had made the same wish of hoping to get married and start a family soon. This was the first time S.H.E publicly expressed that they wished to get marry. Was it because they all have found their other half? The trio indicated that they have reached a marriageable age therefore they hoped to get marry. When asked about their criteria for their other half, Ella indicated that this person must be considerate (thoughtful), humorous and talented. Earlier Selina admitted that she was introduced (matchmaking) to a lawyer. Were the two really dating? Selina kept the answer to herself and only smiled in response. As for Ella whose relationships were frequently mentioned at her expense lately, when asked whether she would be wary of the next relationship because of the past unsuccessful relationships with someone from showbiz. Ella lightly said: “Oh, ever since my fall last time, I now take each step very carefully” Looked like Ella was truly tired of being used this way.Thinking back to the times during these seven years, the trio each had their own feelings. When speaking of what gave each of them the deepest impression, Ella felt that realizing the dream of giving a large-scale concert was something that left a deep impression. Selina’s graduation ceremony was also memorable. When thinking of the time when she was a student-singer, going to classes and doing performances at the same time, not only was unable to coordinate with the filming schedule but was also a topic of discussion among classmates in school, Hebe and Ella came to sing the school anthem with Selina on graduation day…when thinking back to that time, Selina who was most prone to tears, starting to cry again. The time when Ella was injured from falling a three-storey building was another one that they found unforgettable.The highlight for today was when Selina brought out her secret presents. Moved by the content written on the cards, all three of them sobbed uncontrollably. The most adorable was Selina who made the cards herself. As she was just bringing the cards out and had not even started to read it yet, she started crying already. It turned out that Selina, in order to give a surprise to her two laopos, secretly created the cards and wrote the contents overnight until four in the morning. She printed two copies of a photograph of the three of them together and used them as the cards. On the cards were her memories of their journey throughout the years. She cried as she read. The touching yet humorous writings also caused her two laopos to tear up as well. Selina’s cards even made the staff on hand and all the fans laughed and cried at the same time. The whole birthday event was very successful with both tears and laughter.

With A View to Kill , Ella Dazzles While Surfing, Wednesday September 10 , 2008 Taiwan

Among SHE, ELLA might have been understated all along for being less dainty than Selina or Hebe. However in a recent new song’s MV, a photo of ELLA leaning forward while surfing sets to change this mindset and revealed that ELLA is actually very well-endowed.In addition to widespread news on ELLA’s breakup that resulted in her crying while recording SHE’s new song – “Highway Exit By The Sea”, ELLA also had many crying scenes in the said MV.It was unknown if ELLA was crying for real while filming the MV, but she was seen crying devastatedly and shouting almost uncontrollably in the MV. Fortunately, other than the break-down scenes, the director also arranged surfing scenes. ELLA donned a tank top with low neckline and shorts, while surfing merrily. As ELLA leaned forward on the surfboard, her alluring figure was instantly revealed and everyone was wide-eyed and pleasantly surprised. So, ELLA is indeed well-endowed.Eddie Peng – Stitches on FootIn addition, the director arranged for Jolin Tsai’s rumoured boyfriend, Eddie Peng Yu Yan, to make a guest appearance in the MV. However the unlucky Peng stepped onto a coral the moment his foot landed into the sea. As a result he had to take an injection to prevent tetanus infection and could only watch ELLA surfing from the shore. Peng was envious when he watched ELLA surfing excitedly.

S.H.E Playing While Performing in Jakarta, Monday July 4 , 2008 Taiwan

Currently S.H.E were concentrating all their efforts for their new album so that it can be released before the end of the summer holidays. However last Saturday, the trio took a brief break and went to Indonesia to perform in Jakarta. Ella who was recently rumored to be in a new romantic relationship was in a very good mood. She even used the excuse of [Indonesia is very close to Bali] to insist on bringing her swimsuit and played in the water, tried her hands at playing pool and even enthusiastically acted as the professional photographer in recording memorable moments of the performance for her [wives]. It felt as relaxed as if they were on vacation.In southeast Asia, S.H.E are red-hot popular but it was not until last Saturday that the trio came to Jakarta in Indonesia for their first performance. They were passionately supported by the local fans. No matter where they went, there were large groups of [star chasers] following them closely. This limited them to do their sightseeing only within the hotel. However, Ella had always been very energetic. So she with her camera was all over the place to take pictures of her [wives] in keeping with her resolve to become a [blog expert]. No matter where she went, she would take pictures and keep records of the beautiful images of her [wives] before and after the performance.In the hands of Ella, the [professional photographer], not only Hebe changed her hairstyle to a modern yet fashionable short haircut and posed attractively in front of the concert stage prop, Selina also let down her long hair and biting sexily a stem of white rose to portray an adorable flamingo dancer with a come-hither look in her eyes. Even after the performance had ended, the trio continued to sit on the stage with their microphones, sang to themselves without any music accompaniment and played around. This was described by Ella as [wanting to sing even if it is with their last breath]. It looked as if the recent two months of intensive concentrated recording sessions really bored the three of them to the utmost.Looking extremely energetic, Ella’s mood seemed not to be affected by the recent romantic rumors with Baron Chan. Even going to do a performance in Jakarta, she embraced the South Seas ambience with a [purely vacationing] frame of mind. Not only was she dressed incredibly summery in her tank top, short shorts and flip-flops but the water-sports lover that she is even insisted on bringing her swimsuit. She used the 10 minutes of spare time right after the end of rehearsal to go into the water for [heat relief] and left some healthy and refreshing poolside pictures. She laughed happily: “It is summer. Going into the water is a must. Particularly since Jakarta is so close to Bali. I really want to swim.]Last night the trio returned to Taiwan and must continue to work on the final post-production of their new album. They hoped that the new album can be released before the summer holiday ends. However to prevent what had happened to the previous album which was having the song list and music leaked before release and resulted in opportunities for illegal downloads, the content and production information of this album are being kept in high confidentiality. Only the three of them, the song producers and the CEO of HIM had heard the whole album. They are determined that the new music style and new break-through will give all their fans a big surprise.

At the time there were only her and the recording engineer but she saw a black shadow hovered fleetingly in front of her eyes. She was so scared that she mumbled to herself: [I will be good, I will be serious in the singing.] Earlier, S.H.E who always encountered strange events during Hell Month, had already went to Xingtian temple to worship and perform the soul-recalling ritual and pray for peace and good fortune during this year’s Hell Month.Selina Had Strange DreamIn the last few years, Ella had twice encountered misfortune on the day the Hell’s Gate opened, including the spinal injury from jumping out a building while on location shooting a segment for [Happy Sunday] 5 years ago and having to cancel her work due to the stomach flu the year before last. Because of this, last year HIM simply let the trio have a three-day [Hell Month vacation]. But this year, they will be working away from Taiwan, so they made a special trip to the temple to pray for safety. However, other than Ella’s scary encounter of the black shadow, Selina also had a strange dream. In the dream, she was kissing her sister but her sister’s body was floating in mid-air.The day when S.H.E went to worship coincided with the festivities of Xingtian Temple welcoming the divine birthday of Guan Yu, God of Chivalry. The mischievous Ella even spoke some congratulatory words to Guan Yu: [I just finished watching {Red Cliff}, you (Guan Yu) are very handsome in the movie!]

Ella does sexy dance on her birthday party, Tuesday July 1 ,2008 Taiwan

[2008.07.01] Ella Does Sexy Dance On Her Birthday PartyEvery year, Selina of S.H.E would throw a theme party for her birthday. Originally Ella was also planning to throw a “Hotel” themed birthday party but after consideration, she decided to do it on a more low-key scale instead.To prove that she has what it takes to be startlingly sexy herself, Ella dressed up meticulously that evening. Wearing a little black dress, carrying a red LV Epi Speedy bag and with a pair of 7-8cm high heels on her feet, she emanated the sense of a lightly mature lady from head to foot, a far cry from the androgynous way that she normally looked.Party Losing Control with Sexy DancingAt eight o’clock in the evening of June 17th, [Time Weekly] witnessed S.H.E with their friends and relatives appearing at the Wen Cheng Thai Restaurant located at Fu Sheng North Road to celebrate Ella’s birthday one day ahead. Perhaps because they are old customers, the restaurant was especially protective of Ella’s privacy. They pulled down window blinds and turned away other customers. However, the birthday girl, Ella, seemed to be in a very good mood. Even though reporters arrived, she was still smiling widely with a friendly attitude and even generously told her assistant to bring out pieces of cake for the reporters.With the presence of the three gregarious and active little girls of S.H.E, this birthday party which was supposed to emphasize warmth (of family and friendship) started to lose control soon after and became very crazy. When the music came on, everyone pressed for Ella to do a sexy dance but Ella refused to do it alone and dragged Hebe and Selina to the stage to perform together. Later, one of Ella’s friends who is a violin teacher went on stage to perform a violin duet. She (Ella) was so high with excitement that she jumped on stage and played along; it was just that the sound that came out from her playing the violin sounded like pigs being killed and made everyone fell off their chairs laughing.Because of Ella’s good relationships with everyone, all her friends and relatives put in much thought to prepare birthday presents for her, giving her a bountiful harvest that night. Selina knew that Ella had wanted a Rimova metallic suitcase because did not buy it due to its high price. A few days ago, Selina purposely purchased one and used the unusual method of having it mailed to Ella’s house as a birthday present. Hebe went online and bought a veggie and fruit juicer with 3 horsepower for Ella who is focused on maintaining good health. But this juicer is currently out of stock and Ella may not be able to receive it until at least July.Not Use to High Heels YetThe group did not leave the restaurant until nearly 10 o’clock. As S.H.E walked out the restaurant front door, they posed for photographers from this publication in a normal manner. As soon as Ella saw the reporter, she immediately exclaimed: [Don’t I look beautiful today? Make sure your photos make us look better!] Obviously she was very satisfied with the feminine way she was dressed. It was just that not used to wear high-heeled shoes normally, she was still not very natural when she walked and had prepared a second pair of flat-heeled shoes to change into. It truly was hard being a woman!After the dinner party, everyone still wanted to continue, so they all rushed over to SOGO Cash Box Karaoke for the next round. The whole group partied and sang past midnight and still had not left. Ella passed her 27th birthday in the party room of Cash Box. According to sources, the total cost of the evening, including the dinner party and the karaoke, was close to NTW$30,000, all paid by Ella the birthday girl. The Gemini Ella was truly quite generous.According to Ella’s good friend, in comparison to the crazy birthday parties of the past, this year she already was particularly restrained. It was because two days before her birthday, she visited a Homeless Animal Shelter in Gongliu and came back with much to think about. As a dog-lover, Ella had donated all of the NTW $1.3 million proceeds from the [Qiang Qiang Memorial EP], only to realize that the amount could only improve the tip of the iceberg. She saw that the only way to gather enough resources for saving more helpless lives is to spend money only on what is truly necessary and appealed to everyone to work together.Hoping to Meet a Good ManSpeaking of this year’s birthday wishes, Ella’s good friend indicated, during the birthday party the wish that she made was: [Hope to meet a good man.] She seemed to believe that the reason behind her relationships failing each time was because she was too “man”. Therefore she wanted to change to a “ladylike style” and hoped that would increase her female hormones to entice good prospects. On her way toward becoming a lightly mature lady, Ella began to wish for an ordinary lifestyle. In order to achieve the super goal of “meeting a good man who knows how to give for the sake of love”, she is working hard to change herself. She said to her good friend privately: [At least in outer appearance, I must look like a girl. Otherwise, I really won’t ever be able to get married.] She who was always dressed androgynously in the past, now, whenever she goes shopping would buy dresses and high-heel shoes. Even her friends around her noticed in surprise: [Ella is really starting to change her ways!]

Making Donation Just Before Birthday, Ella does charity on behalf her beloved dog, Thursday June 19 , 2008

Ella celebrated her birthday the day before yesterday. The present she gave herself donating NTW $1.3M to the Homeless Animal Shelter in Gungliau on the behalf of Qiang Qiang, her beloved dog that passed away last year. She even sent an appeal to Terry Gou who fell in love with [Doggie].After her beloved pet passed away last year, Ella channeled her longing and her yearning into the [Qiang Qiang Memorial EP] for charity. This act received many of her friends’ participation and support. During the three months of limited release, the sale of the EP made a profit of $1 million dollars, plus $10,000 from digital downloading, $32,000 from charity auction of T-shirts and $168,000 from other charitable sale of the EP, altogether totaling $1.3 million dollars. On the day of the 18th, wearing a top that depicts a picture of Qiang Qiang. Ella braved the heavy rain to go to Gungliau.The trip, just going one way, took two hours. The mountainous route was so tortuous that Ella almost became carsick but when she arrived to the destination and saw the tail-wagging [Greeting Dog], her fatigue was immediately swept away. Without mask, gloves or apron, she crouched down to play with the dog. Seeing so many dogs, she sighed with a tinge of regret: [Qiang Qiang, you died too soon.]A famous dog food company touched by Ella’s efforts also donated 440 bags of feed that piled half way to the sky at the site. But when Ella asked, it turned out that this amount was only enough to feed the 700 dogs at the Shelter for 2, 3 days. So Ella appealed: [The richest man (Terry Gou) fell in love with a Doggie (nickname of Jiang Yi Rong), but here are many real doggies that need our help; President Ma has Ma Xiao Jiu at home, but here are also many of Ma Xiao Jiu’s friends. Everyone, please come together and help them.]Originally Ella had planned to have a wild birthday party but after this trip, she was even more convinced that money should be used for important matters, therefore at the last minute, she changed the party to a simple dinner gathering instead.translated by : wyn0602 of CEFC
