NTU Outstanding Young Alumni Award
January 25, 2006
Our dearest Yanzi was awarded the Nanyang Outstanding Young Alumni Award last DEC in 2005 on the NTU 50th anniversary homecoming. Alongside with her who won the award are Mr Leslie Kwok the national swimmer, and Ms Diana Ser the channel newsasia broadcaster.
This is a summary of the interview. The interviewer, Mr Ryandall Lim was Yanzi hall 6’s mate last time. N he was surprised tat Yanzi actually did remember him since it was like 5 years ago they last met. He said despite of hall activites and studies last time, Yanzi would “bother to attend singing lessons so diligently, almost everyday”. They all could not understand why. It was until during their hall 6 CNY dinner when Yanzi stunned them with her rendition of Mariah Carey’s Hero, and tat was the first time they heard the fruit of her investment.
During the interview, she said “ I’ve never felt that I worked so hard in my entire life..I felt I was doing my master’s.” The 2000 Nanyang Business School graduate also realized tat her much of her success was due to teamwork. However, the bright lights and glamour brought some personal conflicts. “A lot of people view me with envy but u have to give up a lot of stuff. U can’t have it all-fame and fortune comes with sacrifices, such as privacy.
Despite being 1 of the most widely recognized artistes in Asian music industry and having won numerous of awards, Yanzi remained low-key about her achievements. “People sometimes tell me, ‘Oh u have so many awards.’. But to me, awards are recognition of your past; they dun mean much to me. U can’t be contented with wat u have n not look forward.”
Famous or not, Yanzi is glad she chose to pursue academia at NTU. “Singapore is very pragmatic. No one ever dreams to be a famous singer. I jus tot I will go to NTU, get a degree n start out a career. I must have made the right decision. NTU has a long track of history n strong foundations.” With tat, she finished off the interview.
Jus a little advertising, wan to get a degree? NTU is definitely not a bad choice since Yanzi was from there before. Haha. Cheers.

燕姿紅磡秀 淚眼說戀情
January 22, 2006
一連兩場「孫燕姿香港演唱會PartII」，昨晚在香港紅館正式開唱，孫燕姿在舞台上勁歌熱舞，盡顯天后功力，但是再強的女人碰到感情的挫折還是會投降，孫燕姿首度在舞台上吐露她在失戀之後的心情，面對媒體的緊追不捨，讓她忍不住眼眶泛紅！
憶出道五年苦樂混雜
出道5年的孫燕姿，在台上有感而發說：「5年裏發生好多事，有開心、不開心，有害怕、也有幸福。」於是她自彈自唱一曲「我要的幸福」，並說這首歌對她很重要。被傳失戀的她，又感觸說：「近期常被追問私事，令我感到很困擾。因為工作關係，我到了世界多個不同地方，見過很多人，這一段時間很多人問我的私事，令我很困擾。不過我算是幸福的人，不少窮人活得更苦，自己的問題就變得很小很小」有fans馬上大叫：「加油呀！」孫燕姿便眼眶泛紅。
演唱會尾聲，她說出一番心底話：「人不應該接受自己命運，我們應該選擇它！我五年前選擇做歌手，但沒想過可在紅館開唱，站在台上不知道下一分鐘會發生甚麼事，但因為我們有信念、有信心，也謝謝五年來大家對我的肯定。」
最後她跟觀眾大合唱「天黑黑」。
Yanzi’s expressed her thoughts in HK concert Part2
For the first time in front of the media, Yanzi talk about her recent break-up with Dennis. At last night concert, Yanzi performed fantastically well. However, no matter how strong a woman is, when faced with romance failure, she will also admit defeat. Tat was how the media described her. When talking about the break-up, Yanzi eyes turned red as well.
After which, she went on with her thoughts about her singing career for the 5 years. She said” These 5 years, many things happened. There were happy times, as well as sad times. Recently, everyone keep asking me about my personal stuff, which really make me quite troubled about it. However, when compared to others who are much more least fortunate than me, like those who worried about their 3 meals a day, my worries seemed so small and useless.” After she said this, her fans encouraged her by saying “Jia You!” This make Yanzi very touched. She also felt “WoYaoDeXinFu” is a important song to her as it sort of reflected her thoughts.
At the encore part, Yanzi expressed her thoughts again. She said ”Man should not accept their destiny, we should choose it. 5 years ago i chose to be a singer, but i never thought i will ever be able to have a concert here. When standing on the stage, we do not know wat will happen the next minute. However, we must have confidence n faith in ourselves. Thanks everyone for your support these 5 years. I will continue to advance forward.”
