MEDAN TRIP April 6, 2007

Overlooking Medan from the plane, I felt that this place is kinda like Brunei with its vast landscape and greenery! The weather is even much similar and so is their language! It really made me feel like going back to Brunei coz I felt so much like home but my family and friends weren’t there... haha! BUT… I was still happy as there were fans from Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, China and many more! Wow… I guess you guys must have gone through a lot to make it to this trip. I hope this trip would be worthwhile for you guys and should there be any improvements to be made, please feel free to let me know through my blog so we can improve as we’ll be having another mini concert in HK this month :-)

Had a day off yesterday so I went jogging and played basketball and the feeling was awesome! Haven’t got the chance to exercise for a long time already! Besides making use of my day off exercising, I was also eager to incorporate my workout with my new iPod sports kit and at the same time, listening to our new songs for our 2nd album while jogging! I felt totally great as I was able to exercise and get familiar with the songs simultaneously, which really saved me a lot of time... haha! However, time went by so fast that I discovered from my iPod I've worked out for 1 hour but good thing... with a total distance of 8km... haha! After my hard work with all the calories I've burnt, I rewarded myself with a nice dinner :-) So... I hope that all of you will start exercising and get healthy, ok? That way, you can also enjoy the food you love without worrying you'll gain unnecessary weight!

By the way, I did mention about doing charities in my previous blog entry and to my surprise, I found out that there are in fact many of you who are already active in the program! To those who’ve sent me pics of the children you supported, just wanna say thank you and I’m touched!!! I believe we can really change a person’s life and make this world a better place to live in! Keep it up everyone!

GUANG ZHOU – Here I come again!!! So glad to have the chance to meet you guys again and this time, I really hope there will be more interaction between us, however, SAFETY is number 1 and it’s everyone’s job to make sure all of us are safe and I’m sure we will be very upset if any activity shall be cancelled due to safety reasons, ok ? See u guys tomorrow :-)

Lastly, the weather is very unpredictable lately so I suggest you guys to take in more fruits, nutritious food and vitamins to build up your immune system, ok?

Cherish April 4, 2008

Feb and March 2008 - Real busy month for me!!! I am not only an artist and businessman but also like a flight crew! My first destination was Malaysia where we promoted Romantic Princess… From Malaysia, we traveled to Singapore to promote Romantic Princess too! Had such a happy feeling seeing the large number of people supporting this drama…. Many turned up at our activities but unfortunately, the weather wasn't very nice as it was always raining! Felt so pity to many of you and hope no one fell sick! During the Malaysia trip, the food there really made me felt so close like home…Satay, Nasi Goreng Pattaya, Penang Kway Tiaw, etc. I was excited during the trip as I've always loved introducing local food to others, and this time to Eric and George... YUM YUM!!!

In Singapore, I suddenly had a special feeling too! There was a point of time when I was down coz I recalled my stay in Singapore back then! To be honest, I really miss walking down the streets… the smell, the atmosphere and most importantly, the places where I used to go to! It somehow made me ‘Miss’ being a normal guy like everyone else! Good thing was I managed to go back to Brunei for 3 days… Again, I made good use of my time in Brunei and live everyday to the fullest... Family, Business and of course Food again… haha! On my way back to Taiwan, I had to make a transit in Singapore for 3 hours. Without hesitation, I decided to drop-by Orchard Road… had takeaways especially my favourite Hainanese Chicken Rice, PoPiah, Tau Suan and went for a quick window shopping around the city ☺ That 3 hours, I realized everything was so precious! Like what I used to say…Treasure/Cherish our everyday life and Never take things for granted!

After that, we went to HK! My 1st overseas Drama promotion was Hanakimi and it was held in HK last year. I still remember how shocked and happy I was to see so many people and to most of them, it was our first interaction! This year… our Romantic Princess activity was at the same venue in HK and that really brought back a lot of memories…Its indeed a very touching feeling!

Traveling to these familiar countries and having met so many New and recognizable faces, I am still so excited and happy as ever! Its actually very tiring but seldom feel those tiredness til all activities are over late at night! However, there are still countries which I don't have time to visit yet… I'm happy that the Philippines and USA have started airing Hanakimi and also Romantic Princess in Guang Zhou n few parts of china soon… Again, I did try my best to convince my company to allow me to do promotional activities in these countries and though my initial attempt failed, I will not give up and hope it will be a reality for all us to meet up one day, yeah!

Last of all, our Fahrenheit official website, www.fahrenciti.com is finally up and running! You will find lots of first-hand information such as activities, behind-the-scenes pictures and video clips. Many plans are still in process so check it out more often, ok? Honestly, I can see our company putting in a lot of effort to make sure this website will have what you guys are hoping for. I believe in trials and errors so please kindly give us time and also your valuable opinions ok!

I’m not scared la ~~Go~~~~~~ X’mas

The eve of Christmas night, passed it with many wishes and greetings
From the start of “They Kissed Again”, it had let me return to the past
Those beautiful memories accumulated together with everyone

Also, finally waited for a year and four months
Fahrenheit is coming out with their album again

This few days during the weekend Christmas holidays, there’s mant meetings and gatherings with fans
Be it “They Kissed Again”, or Fahrenheit

Seeing so many familiar faces like you, Da Dong is really very happy
Because it’s a long time since we met each other, there is even those that I have not seen for an even longer time, some I have not seen for a few days, some is the first time I’ve met oh

All of you are really adorable, those in Mainland, in Japan, in Korea, in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Philippines
And the friends from Taiwan, thank you for supporting Da Dong, supporting Fahrenheit, supporting “They Kissed Again”

Looking at you all raising Da Dong’s signboards and JIRO’s gembatei boards, waving to the music below the stage, no matter how cold the weather is, no matter how tired I am from work, looking at all of you
I will only work harder to perform, use all my strength to sing, because Da Dong will not lose to those of you who are waving the signboards and light-sticks with all your strength, doing the wave dance for me

Ha (Goooooooo... Not afraid of anything) this is Da Dong’s latest slogan recently
To be truthful, it has been really stressful recently. I have to film Rolling Love and have to attend many promotions and pre-assignments of the pre-ordering of the album
Fahrenheit’s album is coming out soon, “They Kissed Again is also going to have promotion, so much so much stress~~
Moreover ~~the sound system is spoilt again. There are super many days when I’ve not heard music already, no way to let off my stress la, haha, out of point

All in all, there are so many things that I want to tell everyone, really really wish to remember everyone’s names, when I see all of you I can at least greet you

Bit by bit~! I believe very fast, after we met, Da Dong would be able to call out your names lo
By then, must definitely give Da Dong a support of love O

What’s more, there’s something very embarrassing that Da Dong keeps remembering, that is I said Japanese to those friends from Korean accidentally
Looking at all your fair and good skin, I will always accidentally assume
Really really very apologetic, Da Dong will also work harder to learn more Korean language~~ Sarangheyo~~!! Love you lots~~!!!

And those friends from Japan, Da Dong is very touched leh, because those friends (fans) who had previously went for ISWAK promotion,
I saw everyone in this time’s promotion gathering again, super touched, I’m going to say, Gambatei-masi~~~ I will work even harder

Ooo~ friends from Hong Kong, all your lighting boards are so nice, so cool, so fantastic. Where did you all made it, really want to know haha

And also those friends from Taiwan, everyone has tired themselves out, supporting us at the North, South and Central of Taiwan, and hope all of you can be careful at the traffic oh
Moreover the weather isn’t very stable, remember to wear more clothes, do more actions to keep warm, and don’t catch a cold! Everyone

Because from this week onwards, every weekend, Da Dong, Fahrenheit will do our best to accompany everyone and let you have an enjoyable weekend oh

Yea~~~~~~~~~~~Cool~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Love you lots~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!

3 years...3 years...in showbiz!



The duration is neither short nor long. However, this career has given me full
of hardship along with touching and joyful moments! More importantly, It has
given us the chance to 'Know & Influence' each other and to let the people
around this world get to know a very simple guy from a small country like
Brunei... hahaa!

During the past 3 years, I have to admit that I experienced a lot and when I
come to think of it, all these experiences happened not only from my hardship
but from all the great opportunities which came along because of the support
from all of you! From my 1st drama and Fahrenheit's 1st album to my 3rd drama
and Fahrenheit's 2nd album and now my 1st movie and Fahrenheit's Asia concert
tour…Wow, its unbelievable! Honestly, I really do cherish every single moment
and always hope to make myself better. I really don't know why I am giving
myself all this pressure. It's indescribable…

maybe it's due to the huge sacrifice of parting with my family…
maybe it's the culture of this biz,
maybe it's the support from all of you…
maybe I am trying to challenge myself to do things I have always been afraid of
doing!
Whatever it is, I am really grateful to everyone who supported me all this
while, many who influenced me and I have always told myself that I need to
absorb as much as possible because everything that happens around us everyday is
a lesson and a great learning experience. I always tell myself try not to become
a man of success but rather try to become a man of value...No Rush,

My debut movie is about to wrap up soon… Such a nice crew along the way and of
course, I can now feel that I will miss each and every filming moment with all
these wonderful people! Filming this movie has been the happiest decision I have
made and though I don't know what the outcome will be... like what I've always
said, I did my best so what's important to me is the experience that I encounter
and the challenge… I met many nice people, 2 directors who are unbelievably
thoughtful and hard working and most important of all, I find satisfaction in my
work as an actor because I am willing to learn and they are very willing to
teach…Marvelous! Michael Jordan once said "You have to expect things of yourself
before you can do them." Hey Michael, I am listening! Hahaha :-)

Having traveled to various cities in China for the past 2 months, it has given
me different feelings and memories. I realized that in many places there are
still people who are living a very simple life… Maybe they live their whole life
without shopping or entertainment... but still... they do spend time with their
family, growing fruits and veges and even selling a big basket of strawberries
for only RMB5! Hey, what's wrong with that? Are you able to adapt to this kind
of life? Yes or No? Well, when you think of it... that's the life they had ever
since they were born into this world. I did approach few and had a short chat
with them and they are happy with their life…that's all that matters, isn't it?
It really proves that happiness can be very simple. It's actually up to you if u
wants to be happy or not… For me, life in showbiz is very complicated but I
guess I am lucky that I am from Brunei and I have always and will try to live a
simple life because I think being simple is the key to happiness…Try it JFight
for your happiness like a WARRIOR!

Well, I have been busy focusing on filming my debut movie for the past 2 months
and…Tonnnnns of activities coming up and can't wait to meet all of you! YEAH,
good good good..hahaa!!!

Superman is back!

Phewwww… Finally, Superman got little time tonight to complete his unfinished blog :-)




After Butterfly Lovers wrapped up, I was ready for tons of jobs that were lining up but never did I expect that the heavy workload... workload which I myself, someone who thinks himself as a Superman, finally came to feel tiredness in his life... WOW!!! To me, there are good and bad in every moment of my experiences that's why I've always told myself that I am lucky for all the opportunities and I will always cherish every moment and be responsible not only to myself but to everyone so I wont live a regretful life. No matter how tired I am, there's always happiness when it comes to visiting all the countries I've visited recently and here, I really wanna thank everyone from all parts of the world who has been supporting me all these while…




The Philippines - Visiting Phil has always been my 1st priority! Although I've been to Phil a couple of times already, its always different when it comes to work and I've always loved to meet those who have supported us all these while... anyhow... mission accomplished!!! haha! "Maraming Salamat"!

Korea - Really had a great time during the Romantic Princess Celebration with all my Korean supporters… Well, I can speak better Korean now… haha! Su Go Ha Say So Yo

Japan - Attended my 1st Butterfly Lovers press conference outside China and surprisingly it was Japan!!! I also spent one whole day filming a program for a a Japanese TV channel discovering the life of NINJAS… Another Great experience for me!

HK - I did something crazy this time!




Managed to sneak out late at night after supper with my director around 2.30am! It came to a point where I felt so much like walking along the streets in HK… I walked alone from JORDAN to TSIM SHA TSUI and along the streets where I used to go before my showbiz life. I always walk 4 years ago and although its already 3am and all shops are close, i am still full of energy J Its unbelievable and I dotn know when I can do that again…hahaa!

One of the letters I've read recently and would like to share it with the rest of the world: -
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teen-agers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favourite quotes from Alfred D'Souza. Ha said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-Real Life. But they was always some abstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were in my life."
This perspective has helped me see that there is no way to happiness. Hapiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with… and remember that time waits for no one!!!

So Stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose 10 pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, unitl you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until when??? Until you got no more chance to decide that there is no…
Better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

How do you guys feel after reading the above? I am sure you will think a lot… Well, JUST DO IT but Don't Rush yourself or give yourself too much pressure, ok?
Remember... Happiness is in your own hands.

Honestly, there are many things that we wanna say and have always kept in our heart… Well... It's time! I know I don't have to wait till Valentine's day to say this but RIGHT NOW at THIS MOMENT, I wanna express all my thanks for all you guys have done… My family, My supporters, My colleagues, My friends and everyone who has been truthful to me... Thank you and I Love you all! Wow… really not easy to say the word LOVE and I'm feeling a little shy right now even though I'm not expressing verbally… haha!
Errr... JUST DO IT !!!
Happy Chinese Valentine's day, Happy Pa Pa day, 2008 Beijing Olympic 加油!!!

thanks buttercupmm dear for posting his blog entries...i really enjoy reading each entry he made (kahit na ngayon ko lang binabasa yung dating entries nya since im a "late bloomer chun supporter"..) kasi naman for some reason even if you dont personally know him, you could feel his sincerity and warmth towards his supporters...he treats his supporters not just his "fans" but like his friends...and not to mention he has a positive outlook in life that is really inspiring...di ba?!?! *sigh*

Haha!!! Correct ka dyan sis! Maybe there's something abt the month of april that makes Chun remember our country...hehe...kaya lang sana madadagdagan naman ng ibang months, kasi ONCE a year lang nya tayo naaalala...hehe..

btw, san mo sinend ang link sa kanya?!?! guestbook nya? gosh, sana he could check that link out...haha, i wonder how he'd react listening to our language...cool yon!!! kasi HINDI NYA RIN MAIINTINDIHAN...hehe, atleast he'll experience how it feels to watch a series NOT BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND A SINGLE WORD THEY ARE SAYING BUT STILL ENJOYING WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING...LIKE US! di ba?! kina-career ang panunuod ng TW drama or guestings nila kahit hindi naiintindihan!!!! hehe...la lang for a change...

[○MAO REN○]

sana pumunta na si wu chun dito.. i can't wait to see him in person..

[nickimeimei]

galing ng idea mo ah ...alam nyo mga pipol dapat talaga makita ng actors kung gaanu kagaling ng mga dubbers natin sa kapamilya kasi mafi-feel tlaga ang emotions through their voices dba?

makukuha ng dubbers yung emotion ng mga actors with each scene..
parang mga artista rin yung mga dubbers natin ano?
