My reality TV hosting aspiration manifested in Beijing two summers ago. We were at Wangfujing and I just had to show my friends the array of fried creatures for sale. The original intention was to eat up the stuff ourselves. We didn’t expect other tourists to join in the fun! Now, what would their parents [...]

It’s been ten days since the minor upgrade, and I have been kept busy with surprises one after another. On my first day back at work, I received an unexpected delivery from my friends. The bottle of red wine was accompanied by a regal looking eagle with protracted wings. Ah yes, my career would perhaps [...]

I absolutely adore Chan Brothers. The past collaborations were to places with dipping temperatures. We braved the cold winds in Turkey in 2007 and went on a winter adventure to New Zealand last year.

全城焦點所在 年度音樂盛事 第17屆新加坡金曲獎 MUSIC IS LIFE (2011年9月11日 新加坡)《第17屆新加坡金曲獎》本地頂尖歌手與亞洲重量級音樂人爭奪新加坡樂壇最具指標性獎座! 由新傳媒Y.E.S. 93.3FM主辦,《第17屆新加坡金曲獎》專業與票選獎項入圍名單在9月11日公佈。本地資深音樂人李偉菘、李偲菘與小寒,帶領海內外新生代歌手:丁當、何維健、龔芝怡、邱意淋和卓軒正共同見證入圍名單的揭曉。丁當獲知入圍“最受歡迎女歌手獎”,難掩興奮之情;何維健則說,憑第二張專輯就能與本地大腕儿陳潔儀和林俊傑等人入圍“最佳本地歌手獎”而深感榮幸。龔芝怡在過去12個月沒有新作,因此樂得以旁觀者身份給“最受歡迎新人獎”入圍者卓軒正打氣。 《第17屆新加坡金曲獎》的主題定為:Music is Life 活出音樂。 Y.E.S. 93.3FM DJ兼金曲獎執委丁志勇說:“我們的生命當中,少不了氧氣和水,同時也不能缺少音樂。20世紀30年代的上海,人們夜夜笙歌;40年代動盪不安的時代,人們靠著音樂撫慰人心、也藉助澎湃的音符為前線軍人助威⋯⋯21世紀的網絡科技時代,音樂的真正價值與意義是否流失在垂手可得的便利中?” Y.E.S. 93.3FM高級節目總監馮慧詩說:“本屆金曲獎旨在把大家拉回音樂的最初,除了延續金曲獎推動與表揚的兩大宗旨,也在音樂難生存的年代里為努力奮鬥的音樂人提供一道曙光。” Y.E.S. 93.3FM已在空中推出“Music is Life 活出音樂”廣播特備,讓歌手與創作人悉數當初的感動。金曲獎聯辦單位U頻道將在從10月份開始推出“Music is Life 活出音樂”電視特輯,由音樂人暢談音樂的生命力。 《第17屆新加坡金曲獎》頒獎典禮將在2011年11月12日(六)晚上7點30分於新加坡室內體育館舉行。門票於9月15日(四)通過SISTIC公開發售,票價分$138、$88和$21。配合Y.E.S. 93.3FM21週年台慶,10月21日前購買$138及$88門票可獲21%折扣。欲知更過詳情,可瀏覽Y.E.S. 93.3FM官方網站。 第17屆新加坡金曲獎入圍名單 年度專輯大獎 《美妙生活》/ 林宥嘉 《寶貝》/ 莫文蔚 《To Hebe》/ 田馥甄 《15》/ 方大同 《是時候》/ 孫燕姿
