孫燕姿入選傑出青年 慰奶奶在天之靈                   【曾明進、王慧倫╱台北．新加坡報導】

孫燕姿的奶奶日前過世，昨她堅強地擔起今舉行的告別式籌備工作，她也慶幸趕回新加坡看奶奶最後一眼，並相信奶奶會在天上保佑她。果然就在她忙著替奶奶辦喪事時，傳出她入圍新加坡十大傑出青年的好消息。

她昨在電話裡的聲音顯得有些疲憊，但還是強忍悲傷說：「奶奶一向很健康，她走得很安詳，當天清晨四時她突然呼吸困難，爸爸打電話要我趕回去，我見奶奶最後一面時，她其實已神志不清，但是我叫她時她的眉毛突然挑起回應我，她知道我趕回去看她了。」
今她為奶奶舉辦告別式：「雖然奶奶走了，但我相信她會在天上保佑我的。」就在昨天，新加坡傳來好消息，今年新加坡政府聘請何耀珊擔任新加坡傑出青年獎評審，昨何耀珊表示，最近確實忙著研讀所有報名者資料，也發現其中出現「Stefanie Sun（孫燕姿英文名）」的名字。

有望獲獎
新加坡傑出青年獎的頒發對象，是針對當地二十一到四十歲的人對人類發展有極大貢獻者，由於評選過程透過九到十位評審嚴苛審核，因此不少得獎人同樣會獲得世界傑出青年獎，三年前獲得該獎的藝人是何耀珊。
何耀珊說：「評選期間，她剛好在非洲剛果為世展會做公益，她笑說就算不得獎，也會繼續關懷弱勢族群，我真的被她的言談感動。」孫燕姿表示確實知道入圍，「被一堆評審問話時，感覺好像是面試」。該獎預計六月頒獎。

Despite mourning for her grandmother, Yanzi received a good news yesterday. She was nominated for the prestigious Top10 Outstanding Youth Award in Singapore. This award is opened to people aging from 21-40 years old in Singapore who had done good will to the society, and had set good examples for many to follow. This can be seen from Yanzi recent Congo Trip, where she did not fear of catching any disease and give her best to help the people at Congo. There is a great chance that she will get this award, and Yanzi replied saying she is quite nervous about it, like going for an interview.

小天后孙燕姿人气旺，这一年来洋芋片、饮料等广告强力放送，每支广告要质感有质感、要幽默有幽默，与孙燕姿调

性很贴合。不过，有死忠歌迷好想买孙燕姿代言的手机，情人节时也想看看孙燕姿拍的浪漫广告，怎么没有呢？

孙燕姿的经纪人说，这些代言当然都找过孙燕姿，但公司自有考量。例如手机，不少都具备MP3下载功能，但MP3的合法下载机制还不健全，公司得非常谨慎。至于金饰广告，经理人幽默地反问一句：“你真记得谁代言了什么品牌的金饰吗？”

而真正让孙燕姿觉得奇怪的代言是内衣，公司婉谢了，理由是：“就没有嘛，怎么代言？”孙燕姿也笑言自己的身材，她说：“低头从胸口往下看，可以一直看到脚趾头。”

奇怪的是，内衣厂商似乎还挺爱平胸女星，除孙燕姿外，范玮琪、张韶涵也都问过，新近的人气王杨丞琳，1年前也接到内衣厂商邀约，经纪公司可不愿意这么早放弃“可爱教主”头衔，先婉谢了。

These days, advertisements and endorsement deals are becoming the major source of income for many artistes. However, yz admit that she would never take up any underwear advertisements due to her not-so-endowed chest. Yanzi is very popular with advertisers these days with endorsements one after another, like the potato chips and drinks advertising campaign recently. All these advertisements are very suitable for Yanzi. However what happens if her fans wants to buy yz-endorsed mobile phone or see yz in a romantic advertisement?

Her agent said that Yanzi were offered many deals but each of these deals are carefully considered. For example, mobile phone. Most phones are able to play MP3, and with the rampant music piracy these days, the company is not so willing to accept these deals for Yanzi. The most bizarre are those advertisers who offered Yanzi underwear endorsement deals. The company rejected saying “don’t have, how to endorse?” Yanzi laughed at her own figure saying “When I lower my head down, i can see my toes..”

孫燕姿奶奶過世 追憶廚藝
回新加坡奔喪 剛果行後變摳女    【曾明進、特勤組╱台北報導】

孫燕姿高齡九十多歲的奶奶日前因病過世，剛從非洲剛果探望貧童回台的她已趕回新加坡奔喪，她為保護家人不願透露奶奶後事處理方式，只難過地透過友人表示：「以後再也吃不到奶奶的好廚藝了」。剛果行讓她變刻苦，為趕通告在車上果腹嗑便當，也不怕胃消化不良。
她的成名曲《天黑黑》歌詞寫著「我的小時候，吵鬧任性的時候，我的外婆總會唱歌哄我」，她很小時候外婆就過世，這個唱歌哄她的人其實還包括她的奶奶，奶奶煮的白斬雞、清蒸牛腩等家常菜更是她的最愛。祖孫倆最愛窩在電視前一起看「國家地理頻道」，或是靜靜地聽奶奶敘述早期辛苦耕田的小故事.

坐小巴士不埋怨
她不願家裡私事曝光，不透露奶奶實際年齡、辭世原因及後事，台灣的同事對此事也封口，僅私下包白包聊表心意，她的執行經紀人林明蓉表示：「這是燕姿的私事，公司不便多發言。」據悉，她處理完奶奶後事，將投入巡迴演唱會彩排工作。
去年她與男友丹尼斯分手，如今奶奶又驟逝，她的情緒自然不好過。今年她應台灣世界展望會之邀，赴剛果關懷貧童後，生活與心態都走上了儉約這條路。
上月底，她忙著宣傳世展會，雖是大明星，日子過得很平民，交通工具不是大牌坐的港星車，而是輛略嫌擁擠的小巴士，她對吃的要求也變低，晚餐時間，她的同事到吉野家買便當，讓她在車上果腹。

Yanzi’s paternal grandmother passed away and she is back in Singapore to attend to the funeral. To protect her family from any paparazzi, she refused to say how the funeral is going to be held and where is it. Her favourite pastime with her grandmother was watching the National Geographic channel, and she enjoyed those times when her grandmother told her stories about how she farmed in the past. Yanzi is going to miss her grandmother, especially her cooking. Hope she will be strong.

so spring came to take you away
and the thrushees still come to rest on our tree
and the fishees still surface for your languid scatterin’
…
we’ll walk the path of light together
we, whee, you and me

[新闻]孙燕姿觅新恋情 姊妹淘猛撮合 赖怡铃/台北报导

孙燕姿去年挥别交往３年多的男友丹尼斯后，并没有对恋爱失去勇气，反而很想再谈一场恋爱，她在新加坡的好姊妹知道她的心意，也为她积极介绍，不过目前仍没有「来电」的人选出现。

刚从刚果返台的孙燕姿，除了继续为世界展望会的活动上通告，也为后续即将展开的上海、南京和马来西亚演唱会准备；由于时差还没有完全调过来，孙燕姿有些疲态，不过她表示，相信很快就会恢复。

忙于工作的孙燕姿很期待下一场恋爱，她在新加坡的姊妹淘们自然会安排她参加各种聚会，让她认识一些不同领域的新朋友；孙燕姿虽不排斥多接触不同的友人，但一方面在新加坡的时间有限，另一面至今仍未碰到她认为适合的人选，所以她说：「顺其自然，再看看啰！」 

yz’s last breakup has not bring down her confidence for a new relationship. Her sisters in singapore has been trying to ‘matchmake’ her and create new opportunities for her to meet new friends. Currently, she’s busy with world vision  activities and also preparing for her world tour concert in Shanghai, Nanjing and Malaysia. Yz express that she had fully gotten over the previous relationship, but believe that she would very soon. Still, she anticipates a new relationship, and knowing that her sisters will plan different functions for her to make more friends, she express that her time spend in singapore is very limited, and she has yet to meet the right person. “Let nature takes it’s course ba”

頂艷陽搬磚頭 堆砌希望

2月22日
來剛果之前，總覺一切難以想像，
沒想到如今已近尾聲，明天就要返台了。 最後一天的行程，
轉往台灣在剛果的另一個計畫區「碧多萊」，
這是由三個社區、5萬人形成的計畫區，
和前幾天看到的感覺明顯不同，這裡是無盡的黃土，
地平線只見一些黃泥屋、一些不太高的土丘，
顯得天更藍、也更熱。今天看的都是工地，從無到有地打造新希望。
第一站是看診所，工人們在烈日下砌磚工作，
未來這裡將成為有20個病床的診所，
服務此區13,000多人，
主要是來此打零工的外地人。
我也嘗試搬磚頭，原來，一個個土堆最後都會變成磚塊，
有位先生主動抱著磚要和我合照，很搶鏡頭喔。
