S.H.E had goosebumps watching Olympic Opening Ceremony, Monday August 11, 2008 Taiwan

Watching the Olympics Opening CeremonyS.H.E Had Goosebumps All Night[2008.08.11 Apple Daily]Earlier S.H.E brought Selina’s parents and Ella’s second sister to Beijing and attended the Olympics Opening Ceremony together. They kept exclaiming [This is so astonishing], [That is incredibly spectacular], [I had goosebumps the whole night] as they watched. Even superstar Andy Lau turned into a tourist and kept taking pictures in front of the various Olympics venues.Andy Lau Kept Taking PicturesOn August 8, the day of the Opening Ceremony, S.H.E and their group lined up with others for security checks before entering the building. Because there were too many people wanting to take pictures with them, Selina’s father and Ella’s second sister had to act as personal bodyguards for them. When they arrived to their seats, they found on each seat an “Olympics Blessing Gift Bag” that included a flashlight, a shakedrum, a scarf and Olympic rings, etc. They jumped up and down and sang in their seats, yelling [Satay] when the Singaporean athletes entered the stadium and yelling [German Pork’s Feet] and [Beer] when the German athletes entered the stadium. Because Selina’s father’s birthday was on August 4 and the day of the Olympics Opening Ceremony was on August 8, the purpose of this trip other than to fulfill a filial duty, it was also like a second honeymoon for Selina’s parents.Because Andy Lau performed in the Opening Ceremony, he was honored to be at the [Bird’s Nest]. He arrived early for rehearsal on August 5 and like a tourist, took pictures in front of the [Bird’s Nest] and the National Aquatic Center. With regards to be able to participate in this great ceremony, he said: [It is fairly worthwhile, especially to be able to stand at the scene and watch the entirety of Li Ning running in space to finish the torch lighting ceremony. That was so admirable.]

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.

Ella Encounters Hovering Shadow Prays for Guan Yu’s Divine Protection, Wednesday July 30 , 2008 Taiwan

[2008.07.30] Ella Encounters Hovering Shadow Prays for Guan Yu’s Divine ProtectionHell’s Gate will not open until day after tomorrow but Ella had already experienced a ghostly encounter! In the beginning of the month, she was in the recording studio recording for the new album. 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

S.H.E went crazy , Transforms into an iron triangle in recording studio, Sunday June 15 , 2008

[2008.06.15] S.H.E Went Crazy, Transforms Into An Iron Triangle in Recording StudioRecently S.H.E went into the recording studio to formally start recording for their new album that is due to be released in the summer. The three of them exclaimed: “Very nervous. This time there is so much that we have accumulated and wanted to let out.” However, under HIM’s company policy, this album is viewed as a top secret project and will not be until July before disclosing any information….Everyone will just have to wait and see.During the recording sessions, producers Bing Wang, Ma Yufen and Yuan WeiRen worked S.H.E to the point of a breakdown. In order to ensure top quality, everything from the trio’s harmonization, ending note, solo to all other areas are all tightly controlled in the production process and in the sound mixing. Lu XiaoHan who is responsible for song arrangements can feel the trio’s understandings of each other in their music and laughed: “This will be the album with the longest recording and production time since S.H.E first entered the business!”Currently, Hebe, with the popularity she gained from Bull Fighting being aired in Hong Kong, frequently flew to Hong Kong to attended functions as well as endorsing an internationally well-known dental technology. As for Selina, she participated in the celebration dinner for her junior, Yoga Lin. Ella is busy composing new songs as well as preparing to be a grandmother to her canine son’s [baby].With regards to the new album release date clashing with that of Warner’s HeiSheHui MeiMei, it is inevitable that there will be comparison between the two groups. Fans are already having heated discussions at PPT and various Baidu forums in Mainland China. HIM’s response: “Everyone, please just anticipate the S.H.E new album this year. No comment on anything else.”
