Flowers Have Blossomed Again

So I got the limited edition of S.H.E's latest album and the contents are super pretty and they look perfect, the songs are perfect, asdfghjkl everything is perfect.

What a ride. 12 years; 13 albums. It is amazing how they have managed to stay together for so long despite all the things that happened. Every artiste/group has had their own problems and hurdles but honestly, you just can't compare them to those of S.H.E's - Ella's hip-shattering accident in 2003 and her getting depression, numerous reports on Hebe's sexuality, to most recently, Selina's accident which resulted in third-degree burns and the hiatus in their group activities, just to name a few... Just, wow. Of course, Selina's and Ella's weddings did make us feel really happy for them. How sweet was Lawyer 'Ah Tiong' when he took the initiative to make their relationship public at their concert in Taipei?

And this music video of Ella's solo song featuring none another than the leading lady and her husband themselves...

Everyone has to stop being so sweet, seriously.

While many critics have doubted their return after Selina's accident, die-hard fans (like me) have been awaiting it. My dad said they wouldn't, and I almost cried (for real I'm not kidding).

But they did, and it excited me so much when photos from their photoshoot in Milan were released.

After all these turbulence, I'm sure S.H.E has again rooted themselves as the top girl group in Asia. And they are totally deserving of that title - they can sing (all of them have solo EPs/albums), act (Ella's portfolio is growing day by day), host, and they are just the sweetest and most down-to-earth people ever.

I don't see myself ceasing to support them anytime soon, after all, they were my first ever idols... And one doesn't simply forget their 'firsts'. Lol. I'm hoping that they have promotional activities here because I'm really missing them a lot after seeing them for consecutive years at their autograph sessions.

我永远爱你们, 永不说再见.

On a final note, HIM, are you really expecting me to plant these sunflower seeds?

Love! To Hebe

Currently listening this. This is totally perfect for a Saturday afternoon when I just wanna chill. This disc is the full performance from one of her showcases. I can't say how perfect it is.

She sang English songs (including I Kissed A Girl and You're Beautiful) too and although her diction and slang is still kinda weird, they are still really really listenable. I just can't get enough of her voice.

I can imagine her showcase which will be held in Singapore on the 15th of Jan as a very laid-back performance; not a performance to get high to, unless she suddenly sings a rock song, like the first track of this CD.

Her style is very acoustic, jazzy, and blues-y. Not something that I will usually listen to, but because it is Hebe, I don't mind. :)

She's pretty, has a great voice, talented and beneath that cold exterior is a spunky, fun-loving personality. Hebe Tian, Y U SO PERFECT?

I really want to go for her showcase but it is $141 inclusive of Sistic charge - the same amount I paid for S.H.E's full scale concert in Singapore in April early this year. I know I will earn money during internship which is probably enough to cover my concert expenses for next year though..

Dilemma...
