My First trip this 2013



Signature card for the album signing
It came to me as a shock when my friends and I decided to make a "Quiapo" visit to Hong Kong this Feb 23, 2013 to attend the Album Signing of our dearest Mr. J at APM Mall on Feb 24, 2013 3pm onwards.  Yes, it's an impulsive decision but we chose to do it merely coz the three of us missed going to HK.  

I'm having goosebumps just thinking I might be able to talk to Mr. J, finally.  

Bohol trip!!!

Anyway, wait for my entry after a week, coz I'm having a side travel to Bohol, also an impulsive decision, the next day after I come back from HK.

I wish for my HK experience to be a blast! =)

JayChoy Batchoys are about to conquer APM.

F4 at Jiang Su TV's Spring Festival Show- Official



translation credit to yanaliao

Host: Please welcome F4!
F4: Hello everyone, we’re F4
Host: F4 has reunited. They’re back
I saw someone getting teary-eyed now…
Jerry: No, I’m just so happy (oo jerry happy rin kami… wahh)
Coz I’m with my brothers, and saw their improvement, I’m so happy for them!
I’m also very happy we had this opportunity.  Thank you Jiang Su TV for giving us the chance to stand together onstage again.
Zaizai: I feel the same way like you guys—Excited.  It’s because everybody knows that among the four of us, I’m the one who loves to stick myself to other people, so 4 years ago after sticking with them, I didn’t have the chance to see them again.  Now, I still wanted to stick with them.  I also hope that we can stick to each other forever.  I also hope that those who support us F4 will stick with us forever.
Host: Such sensible message
Vanness Wu: Hi everybody! Happy New Year! What I really can’t forget is this scene, wherein all the fans (friends) are here, I’m so touched.  It’s been a long time but the people here are still showing us so much warmth, welcoming, supporting and loving us.  Thank you so much for your love and support.  We’re always F4, no matter what happens, we’ll always be here.
Host: That’s great! Next, Xiao Tian
(Ken: Fake cry )
Ken: Hi everyone, I’m Ken.  It’s been 4 years since I have been onstage with my bros.  I’m so happy and thankful that we had this chance, I hope that the four of us will have the opportunity to do a concert tour in China and let everyone join the fun, alright?!
Host: Alright, why not let the four of you put your hands together and let this be a mark of a promise that it should happen this 2013, alright?
Zaizai: I hope this would really happen!
Host: If this time, during the Snake year at Jiang Su TV’s Spring Festival Show, we can make the four of them be the cast of MG again…
Host2: Really? Can we do that?
Host: If we can just let them all together say any one of the most classic line from MG.
Jerry: If sorry is useful, what do we need the police for?
Host: Lei
ZZ: If you’re about to cry…
Jerry: If you’re going to say that line, you should do the hand stand as well!
ZZ: If sorry is useful, what do we need the police for? Okay okay.. that’s Dao Ming Si’s line… alright alright… Hua Ze Lei, Hua Ze Lei…
ZZ: If you’re about to cry… Try to do the hand stand so your tears won’t fall down.
Host: Mei Zuo
Vanness: Isn’t our friendship stronger than anything else?
Host: Next, Xi Men
Ken: For me, a girl’s expiration is just a week
Vanness: Oh My god!!!
Host: That time, there were a lot of guys chasing girls were using their style of wooing, right?
Host2: In the end they weren’t able to chase those girls, coz their height weren’t even that close and they’re just so handsome
Host: Oh of course… But I’m curious, what do the four of you see in each other… how do you describe each other?
Ken: (pointing to Vanness) Young at heart
(pointing to zz) Weird lifestyle
(pointing to Jerry) Very boring
Host: What… you call Dao Ming Si what?
Ken: He’s just toooo boring
Host: too boring (everyone’s shouting).. VanNess can you say something, what changes have you seen from the 3 of them?
Ken: Taichi Zhang San Feng (Zhang San Feng is the head of Wu Dang Clan who mastered the Tai Chi Kung-fu)
Vanness; He loves to do the Taichi privately.
Host: Looks good on you! Zaizai is next
Vanness: The “Missing in action” guy
Host: Why, what happened?
Ken: True!!! He’s the King of “Missing in action”!
Vanness: This guy has a motorcycle which has been in my house for 3 years, I kept telling him to fetch it, he never fetched the thing!
Zz: What???... (looking innocent) Everyone… Happy New Year, alright?! Let us all have a good luck during the snake year, alright?
ZZ: Vanness here… he’s always Mr. Muscleman, but what I really wanted to say is that he has a big mouth!
Vanness: and so…? (singing a song jie guo le, jie guo le… by: Da Mouth)
Host: You really have mutual understanding of each other
ZZ: Seriously, it’s been so many years now, and the only one who never changed is Vanness, coz he is… you know among the four of us, he’s the one who faces work positively.  He has a clear vision of what he wants to do and he never gives up on it.
Vanness: Thank you.
ZZ: Jerry is the sweetest, sometimes if for example we have a new series or a new movie out, he is the type of guy who never says a word but the flowers and well wishes are always there, he’s really very sweet. I don’t think I can talk about him further coz I can see in his eyes… that… he didn’t sleep well.
Host: Next is the one who wasn’t able to sleep well but it feels like his tears are already circling around his eyes—Jerry

Jerry: Xiao Tian… I have many things to say about Xiao Tian.  Today when we just met, he gave me a propolis, then I was a bit surprised because Xiao Tian, in the past… I owed him too much… really… really…
Host: Why is that?
Jerry: Because among the four of us, in terms of age, I’m the eldest, but emotionally, I am very childish and naïve. Maybe because in the past I’ve done so much and honestly I don’t have any experiences in coping with so many things, at the same time the gossips that were surrounding us were just too many, everyone’s just vulnerable to it, so I’m pretty sure when he was dealing with me that time, he was really having a hard time. 
Host: So you mean, you wanted to say something like sorry to him? It’s because maybe before you were quite childish in some way?
Vanness: I think you guys need a hug here?
Host: Of course, that’s a given… you need to hug!
Ken: There are so many things that I do that is actually just to protect them.  Including that propolis I gave, I’m already accustomed to it, whenever I go out, I would think… oh no the four of us… I should bring 4 more bottles of this.
Host: propolis?
Ken: That propolis is a spray that takes care of the throat, I have them whenever we are going to sing something on a show
Host: Oh, it’s for his health as well
Ken: Yes, and also, now it’s not necessary but before, in my suitcase, I always bring a few set of clean and new pairs of socks and underwear. 
Host: So you prepared those for them?
Ken: Yeah.  I’m just afraid someone might forget to bring or what, I would give it to them.   So before, when we were just starting, I used to do that.
Jerry: Coz zaizai is not fond of washing his underwear
Zaizai: Is that for real?????
Ken: I would like to add, a while ago I just said that Jerry’s too boring, let me tell you, Jerry and I are of the same zodiac, I really understand coz I’m more boring. But I know Jerry, he just needs to bring out everything that he’s keeping inside, make it a big one, he should be brave and do that!
Host: I can feel that you guys are very good friends because only friends can understand each other that deep, only friends can forgive those who are sometimes missing in action  and only friends can remember those past bits and pieces.  So having the 4 of you stand on the stage together tonight, everyone felt that you guys have matured, but the fans are very curious about your “happiness”.  Let us have them say it by themselves what girls should match each of them.
Ken: For VanNess, I’m so envious.  He knows what he wants. Zaizai…
Zaizai: Aren’t we speaking for our own girl?
Host: Of course your bros should speak for you!
Ken: Zaizai… I think he needs a girl who could sometimes be his mother or his sister, she needs to be that flexible because I feel that zaizai is the most emotional among the four of us, there are things he can keep to himself, and he can keep it as long as he wants until one day he’ll just burst.  So I feel that he needs a girl who can understand this kind of mood swings.  A girl who can help him adjust his moods and emotions from this to that. 
Zaizai: Wow… you’re the master… Thank you Director Zhu
Ken: Jerry, all I can say his love life is still a mystery to me. 
Host: Don’t worry we all feel the same
Ken: But I feel that Jerry needs someone who is fierce.  He sometimes would like to back off on some things and he needs someone who can grab him and push him. 
Host: The fans are very satisfied with Ken’s observation, how about the three of you, do you want to add something as well?
Vanness: I think it’s about right, we can start singing already.
Jerry: I want to see Xiao Tian’s little baby soon… should be really cute.  I hope he can already get married… really.
Vanness: He can take care of that baby for sure.
Host: Tonight onstage, I can feel your true feelings for each other, and these true feelings always melt the hearts of numerous fans out there, it makes them happy and tears of joy can be seen on their faces.  They’re happy to see the four of you together. 
Host2: I hope that this will be a start, starting on Jiang Su TV’s Spring Festival. 
Host: What song are you singing to us next?
Vanness: Di Yi Shi Jian (At First Place)
Vanness: This song is for all of you, Happy New Year! Thanks to Jiang Su, we will always be your… F4.

F4 Style? :English translation

Link provided by Ate Lian ;)

F4 Style:
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTA5OTMwMzcy.html?x

Fans: dance! Dance! Dance!

Vanness: Oppa Gangnam Style

Vanness: Let's ask zaizai to dance!

Zz: I dunno how to...

Zz; All together?

Vanness: you know the four of us can't dance at the same time....

Ken: Remember years ago during our preparation for a concert in HK, we practiced so hard to dance for a week, but in the end when those who came to approve our performance saw us, when we got off the stage the crews and our manager discreetly informed us, no need (to practice), it's alright.So from that day on we never danced together as a group.
(Director started playing Gangnam Style

Vanness: Mr. Director, please don't mock me anymore, alright? *joking*

*looks like they're asking the director to stop the music.

 *I can't hear the next few conversations until Ken's gesture was like he was praying, i think he is chanting "nan mo o mi tuo fo..." which is a Buddhist chant.

Fans: Take it off Xiao Tian, take it off, take it off!

Ken: What... take off what? My pants?

Fans: Take it off all together now! Take it off! Take it off! (Fans asking F4 to take their clothes off all at the same time.)

Weibo posts: F4 Reunion BTS

让四个总结彼此十多年来的变化,三爷说v是心态最年轻,仔是生活不正常,杰瑞是闷骚。三爷说杰瑞和我是一个星座,我太了解他了。我说他闷骚,其实我比他还骚呢!【扶额默默去吃药】


Having the four of them together after 10 years, 3rd Master (Ken Chu) said: Vanness is the most childish at heart, Zaizai lives abnormally, Jerry lives a boring life.  3rd master said Jerry and I are of the same zodiac, I understand him very well.  When I said boring, truth is, I'm more 'boring' than him.


仔说阿旭永远是最窝心的。每次有新作品,阿旭的花篮祝福一定会到。仔说饿姐是最努力。v在美国长大,大家可以想像他用中文发短线有多难,但他就是学会了。三爷接话说我刚就问他,前一段那中文短信是你发的吗?我没回,因为我觉得是假的,不是你发的。v说是我发的呀,三爷说那我真的要敬佩你,很不容易。


Zaizai said that Jerry's the sweetest.  Every time he's filming, Jerry never forgets to send flowers to congratulate him.  2nd Sister (VanNess) exerts the most effort as he sends him text messages even he isn't familiar in writing Chinese coz he grew up in the US.  3rd Master butt in and asked VAnness: Did you send me an sms a few months back coz I never replied.  I thought it was fake and it wasn't you who sent it.  V said: "It was me!" 3rd Master said: "I salute you, that's not easy!"

#f4合体江苏春晚##史上最会调戏爱豆的饭#三爷忽然指着周仔吐槽:这家伙超级健忘的!他曾经把一台机车丢在我家三年,然后我让他来拿走他就一直忘记。台下饭:小、红、还、好、吗?[嘻嘻]

Ken complained to Zaizai: This guy is really forgetful! He once left his car to me and never picked it up for 3 years, then I wanted him to pick it up and he always forgets.  AUDIENCE: Is little red still okay?

#f4合体江苏春晚##史上最会调戏爱豆的饭#录制间隙,饭大喊:小v跳!小v跳!小v跳!v爷跳了几步骑马舞,导播还给放江南style,各种灯光效果闪,v爷指:导播你表害我!【哎哟好傲娇呢![偷笑]

Vanness Danced the Gangnam Style and the crew even started playing the song, V jokingly said: "Director, you're mocking me!!!"

问四个觉得对方适合什么样的女生,主持人说孝天比较擅长总结,让他先说。孝天说他都有在看v的微博,有这样一份感情,坦坦荡荡的给大家看,有这样一个女生陪在身边,真的很幸福,他很羡慕v。孝天说仔需要这样一个女孩子:有的时候可以当他妈,有的时候又能当他妹妹。有这样弹性的女生才适合陪在仔身边。

When asked about what type of girls will match the four of them. The host suggested to let Ken decide for them.  Ken always reads V's weibo entries and he said having that kind of relationship where you can show and express it to everyone is very extraordinary, with someone like her beside V, it's enough, he admires V's strong relationship with his GF.  As for Zaizai he needs someone whose like a mother and a sister to him at the same time.

三爷说,这十几年来,杰瑞的感情真是扑朔迷离,也真心感谢杰瑞把自己奉献给娱乐事业,为我们茶余饭后增添谈资。【[偷笑]】三爷说,他觉得杰瑞需要一个某些方面稍微强势些的女朋友。杰瑞很多时候会不自信会缩起来,这种时候他需要有人能推他一把。【三爷你是真的很用心为三个考虑过这个问题啊![泪]

Ken divulged: these past few years, Jerry has been very secretive of his feelings, he wants to thank him for sacrificing everything for the entertainment industry, because of him, they're able to "add more food on the table" and "raise talent fees".  Ken said that Jerry needs someone whose a bit firm and strong.  Jerry is easily defeated by his confidence, with this kind of personality, he needs someone to give him a push! 

That's all for now.

F4 Reunites Fans were teary-eyed
Yesterday early morning, Jiangsu TV recorded the “climax” of Spring Festival in Beijing – The once a smash hit F4 reunited after 4 years, the atmosphere was climactic. Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, VanNess Wu, Ken Chu, four people dressed in red and black clothes, still projecting an idol-image in their stunning suits, graced the night’s recorded performance with enthusiasm and a touched emotion watching the fans with tears in their eyes. They’re planning to reunite F4 in a concert hoping sometime this year.

Four years in the making
Jerry is pouring out of emotions

F4 is the Chinese entertainment’s hottest and phenomenal group after the "Little Tigers". More than a decade ago, they starred in the craze "Meteor Garden", "Bao Long" and "Lei (meaning tired/ also intended to sound like (huaze LEI)" and the rest were a hit and to young people born in the 80s, this series became a part of their youthful memories. However, the four of them needed to develop their own individual career, they never got together as F4 for years until 2008. This time, being able to pitch the four of them in a span of 4 years, Jiangsu TV is generous enough to bring them to perform during the Spring Festival.
To celebrate this special moment, the fans started to crazily reminisce, from picking up the guys up from the airport then stalked their way to their hotel. The fans willingly gave in to everything just to be able to join the upcoming F4 program. The night before recording, to keep the fans alive and excited, they played all songs featured in Meteor Garden. Finally, closing around 1-ish (in the morning) four dashing guys came out, the crowd went into boisterous screams and cries. Many girls are in tears listening to Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu singing "Liu Xing Yu" together. F4 on stage looks very at ease and compellingly handsome. Vic Zhou, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu looked very lively, only somewhat "introverted" Jerry, who did not live up to its name “Bao Long” (T-rex), had mixed emotions and welled up as they all performed.

Revelations!
Ken wanted to be behind the camera
After singing, the four members had to divulge something “private” in response to the hosts Li Xiang and A-Ya’s questions. Ken broke the hottest information of them all, he said that being separated for so many years, his brothers were "mentally childish (at heart), living an abnormal life", especially Jerry, he’s just "too boring", but has now improved from being “too childish” to “a little bit in between (man and childish)” while Zai Zai on the other hand is appointed the no. 1 MIA among the four of them. But according to Jerry, the most enviable and manly among the four of them is Zaizai, quoting him: “Unlike me, until now I’m still…” In his opinion, he’s the eldest of the four of them, but he’s the most naive one. He even praised Ken Chu who carries a mature personality and always takes care of every person, “Every time we have a performance, he always made sure he prepares everything, even ready out under wears and socks for us.” Afterwards, Jerry gave Ken a “sorry for everything” hug, more of an apology for his past childish behavior.
As the host dug deeper into their private lives, Ken again revealed that he thought Zaizai needed a girl who is a mother figure and at the same time a sister to him, this is because his life is very emotional, he keeps everything to himself and takes a long time to break his silence to everyone. With regards to Jerry, he needs a girl who is really strong and firm. Zaizai made fun of Jerry saying: “If you guys are still going on with this topic, someone’s eyes are getting red already.” With regards to future plans, Ken Chu had the most unexpected answer, because he was aspiring to become a director. During the recording of the show, the four guys were very relaxed, kept fooling around and teasing each other to get married and have babies soon. Many of the fans amongst the audience can’t help but cry, every time the four of them gave their speeches, you can hear distinctive shouts “concert!!!” “concert”!!! F4 divulged that they are hoping they can see that day come. When they were asked about getting together for a concert, they hope it’ll happen, “We hope we can do it as soon as possible!”
