Hi guys, Sorry, I know this entry is long overdue. I’ve been back in Singapore for nearly 2 weeks now and honestly, though I had not been working, but somehow or rather, there are lots of things to settle and do! The trip to Taiwan was an all-over-again experience for me. Settling in the new hostel, walking up 4 storeys everyday, doing chores… trying my best to react fast in variety shows (yes, I admit I’m kinda slow and not really used to their variety culture yet…though they are really quite interesting), taking the challenge in becoming a street artiste, constant re-adaptation to Taipei’s erratic weather… yes, it was back to basics again. Whether the reports on paper made you feel I’m unlucky or not this time round, the truth is, it doesn’t really matter. There will always be ups and downs at work. What matter most will always be my mission to sing. Like what Lucille Ball says: “Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work—and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.” Yup, and so it is. Life is about that. Even though at times when I feel lonely and disappointed about certain things, I know I just gotta get my butt moving and stop thinking about such stuff anymore! And so my album says, “I can’t fall, I won’t fall, I don’t want to fall!” Sometimes I think it’s really not about falling, it’s about getting up from the fall. And as I repeat my mission once more: It really is about singing and reaching out to the masses AND be happy :D Love, Joi PS: Many thanks to the Taiwan media, record company and friends who helped to promote my album zillions! Album has been on charts for weeks! Your words meant a great deal to me and I appreciate that. Thanks again! PPS: Next on my schedule is my publicity trip to China. China, here I come! -- 哈罗 各位 对大家很抱歉，我知道离我上次留言的时候已经有一段时间了。 老实说我现在已经回到新加坡两个多礼拜了。 虽然我现在没有任何宣传活动，但更确切的来说，还是有一堆事情等着我去安排及做好。 这次的台湾之旅对我来说就是个重新再出发的经验。 住在新的宿舍，每天都要爬四层的楼梯，做一堆家事... 试着让我在综艺节目中的反应再快一点， （没错，我承认我还是有一些反应不过而且不习惯他们的综艺文化， 虽然这些节目真的相当有趣） 接受公司要考上街头艺人的挑战，不断的去重复适应台北诡谲多变的天气... 是的，一切又再次回到了原点。 这一次的重新出发，不管成绩出来让大家觉得我是不是那麽幸运， 但事实上，那真的并不重要！ 在工作过程中本来就是有起伏。能够站上舞台唱歌给大家听是我最大的梦想。 就像露西鲍尔说的： ”对於「幸运」这档事，我知道的不多。我从未指望它，而且对那些依赖幸运的人们 我深深害怕。「幸运」对我来说是另一回事：它是勤劳并且懂得分辨哪些是机会， 哪些不是。” 恩，我想幸运就是这麽回事吧！人生何尝不是如此呢？ 就算当我对一些事情感到孤独且失望的时候， 我只知道我必须要停止再去胡思乱想那些有的没的并且要继续重回轨道上。 就像我的专辑标语说的：”我不要倒，我不能倒，我不会倒！！” 有时候我想这标语的意思并不是说人不会失败，而是要在失败後重新起来再次挑战！ 让我再重覆一次我当歌手的意义： 希望可以藉由歌声来感染到每位观众的心深处，并能够带给大家欢乐。:D 爱你们的 淳佳 附注：再次对台湾媒体，唱片公司以及支持我的歌迷们深深的致谢！！ 新专辑能在排行榜上持续好几个礼拜！ 大家的一字一句对我都是莫大的鼓励，真的很感激大家！ 再次谢谢大家！ 又附注：我下一个工作行程是中国大陆的公开宣传活动！中国，我来罗！！ -- 以上转载自http://www.joichua.com/blog/ 再附上小弟的翻译 ^^ 小弟的附注：露西鲍尔(Lucille Ball)美国电视女演员，为美国最持久的电视剧 　　　　　　《我爱露西》以及续集《露西剧场》的制作人及女主角。 --
