Oops sorry wrong info below! DT was not in Shanghai yesterday but in Taipei where he created headlines just by going to see a throat specialist. Must be a slow news day ^__^ As usual he is extra-cautious before his concert by wearing face mask so as not to catch cold or maybe he is still having his perennial cold. I am beginning to suspect he might be a bit of hypochondria where his throat is concerned esp when there is a concert. Hopefully he can have a long break after 510 concert & not have to perform in the nxt few mths. He really need some rest, poor BB. I feel heartpained whenever I see pixs of him with his face mask >"< After visiting the doctor, David went to attend first a wedding & then Wang Zhi Ping's birthday celebration where apparently he sang Beatles' Don't let me down. Kinda strange choice of song. Here's pix of Wang with daughter Joanna who is behaving rather contradictory. She keeps saying she wants to depend on her own talents to make it big yet is not at all adverse to using her father's fame for promotion. She is apparently repackaging her debut album with a bonus 2 songs specially recorded for her dad's birthday. Maybe its time for daddy's little girl to grow up :P
David is already in Shanghai rehearsing & making sure everything is ok for his 510 concert. He has also been quoted out of context AGAIN that 'he does not need fans for his gf' thereby making lotsa his female fans vry miffed ^__^ Actually what he said was in reply to a gf question where he said he is not looking for a gf who worships him as idol & so does not need his gf to act like his fan but someone who can challenge him. This was in a Shanghai tv interview where he also made a mini pizza & revealed that he likes pepperoni & bell peppers. He also piled on heaps of bacon which I thought was not vry italian but rather american :P He seemed vry tired in that interview & I am beginning to suspect too that he is trying to finish up all his music contract obligations as soon as possible so he can film his movie. There could be 2 possible reasons for his alleged prolonging of his 'temporary departure' from music. First could be he wasn't aware of how much he still had to do & how much time it took. Second could be that his mgrs & sponsors got way antsy when he started talking abt taking time off for his movie project cos he may not wanna come back. So they started to pile all sort of work on him in an attempt to delay his departure. Certainly he did the most largescale concert performances last yr in addition to his ongoing series of concerts. He will always put more than 100% into all his concerts of cos but I did noticed some malaise during his interview in Singapore. At one point one of the djs fervently wished him good luck in his concert ticket sales & there was kinda pause as David thanked her awkwardly as if concert sales was the last thing on his mind which could well be the case. Having a girly fan moment here hehe cos noticed that the scarf he wore in his Big John pixs is the trendy McQ skull scarf worn by almost every young US female celebrity who wanna channel their inner rock babe. First time I seen it on a male celebrity & it kinda ROCKS hahaha Dear DT, such a fashion icon now *__*

An opening ceremony is held for the Fourth China International Cartoon and Animation Festival in eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou on Monday evening, April 28, 2008. The Fourth China International Cartoon and Animation Festival (CICAF) kicked off on Monday in eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou. It is the first time that tickets of the opening ceremony have been sold to the public. Kids and their parents, as well as teens and grandparents crowded the city's World Leisure Expo Garden on Monday evening to enjoy the fireworks, music and other wonderful performances. Irish-Norwegian musical duo Secret Garden, and Chinese stars including David Tao and Jolin Tsai showed up at the ceremony. The annual festival runs through to May 3, which includes China's May Day holiday. The exhibition area covers about 60,000 square meters, with more than 1,400 exhibition booths. About 300 institutions and enterprises from 17 countries and regions have registered for the festival, said media reports. The festival attracted approximately 430,000 attendees last year and it's estimated that about 500,000 people will attend this year. The CICAF is the only state-level and international cartoon and animation industrial festival, co-sponsored by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) and Zhejiang Provincial Government. In 2006, SARFT designated Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, as the host city for the event. With years of efforts, Hangzhou has built up a national cartoon industry base, a national digital entertainment industry pilot area, and a national software industry base, and other bases for the national cultural creation industry.
Kinda strange but interesting event for David to attend. Still it could be a welcome break for him. Also it must be the umpteen time he performed Marry me today with Jolin in China. This song is like so yesterday but is still provoking mouth-frothing anger from ppl who hates it with a passion ^__^ Reminds me of ppl who deliberately slashed at famous paintings for no apparent reason :P During one of his recent Shanghai interviews he did talk a bit abt this song. He said although he made the song happy & lighthearted like a child's song, actually there is a totally different meaning in the song if ppl bothered to listen & find out & not just dismissed it as a K song. He didn't reveal the meaning but I think its that most ppl always long for the perfect wedding like a child longing for a special treat but marriage is not child's play & need a lot of compromise to make it work. Even in this the most popular of his sweet-sounding songs, he sought to put a meaning that is relevant to today's society in it. In another interview, he played a game where he had to sing & then stop when there was a certain sound in the headphones then pick up singing again. He did extremely well by singing Rain & the djs teased him that he even managed to continue his 'la la la' without a break ^__^ Much too adorable hehe
