Rainie Yang voted sexiest Taiwanese star by US men's magazine
Rainie Yang's sweetie pie image now has international fans. The 26-year-old Taiwanese singer was voted as the sexiest Taiwanese female in US men's magazine Complex Magazine, thanks to her fresh and sweet appeal.

The girl-next-door apparently is the hot favourite among American men. Rainie beat even the Taiwan's most famous legs, Lin Chi-ling. The supermodel-cum-actress with the baby doll voice was 5th place, lower than another cutie pie actress Ariel Lin, who's ranked 4th.

The top 10 list of female stars are Rainie Yang, Megan Lai, Joe Chen, Ariel Lin, Lin Chi-ling, Barbie Hsu, Angela Chang, Bianca Bai, Coco Chiang, and finally, Cyndi Wang.

Rainie was last seen in the Taiwanese romantic-comedy serial, Hi My Sweetheart, starring opposite Show Luo and Lee Wei. She will also be featured in an upcoming new horror flick, The Child's Eye in 3D, which is directed by the renowned Pang brothers.

Rainie Yang 雨愛 MV

[MV] 楊丞琳 Rainie Yang 雨愛



窗外的天氣 就像是 你多變的表情
下雨了 雨陪我哭泣
看不清 我也不想看清
離開你我安靜的抽離 不忍揭曉的劇情
我的淚流在心裡 學會放晴

聽雨的聲音 一滴滴清晰
你的呼吸像雨滴滲入我的愛裡
真希望 雨能下不停
讓想念繼續 讓愛變透明
我愛上給我 勇氣的 Rainie Love

久違的雨滴 一滴滴累積
屋內的濕氣像儲存愛你的記憶
真希望 雨能下不停
雨愛的秘密 能一直延續
我相信我將 會看到彩虹的美麗

冷冷的空氣 很窒息 我無法呼吸
一萬顆雨滴的距離 很徹底 讓愛消失無息
離開你我安靜的抽離 不忍揭曉的劇情
我的淚流在心裡 學會放晴

聽雨的聲音 一滴滴清晰
你的呼吸像雨滴滲入我的愛裡
真希望 雨能下不停
讓想念繼續 讓愛變透明
我愛上給我 勇氣的 Rainie Love

窗外的雨滴 一滴滴累積
屋內的濕氣像儲存愛你的記憶
真希望 雨能下不停
雨愛的秘密 能一直延續
我相信我將 會看到彩虹的美麗

屋內的濕氣像儲存愛你的記憶
真希望 雨能下不停
雨愛的秘密 能一直延續
我相信我將 會看到彩虹的美麗

『Rainie & Love...? 雨愛』

Happy New Year's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's the first day of 2010~



The first piece of good news this year!

Rainie's new album has officially been launched today! At 12:00am sharp! :D

I was super psyched when I saw this:



Rainie looks so cute and pretty in her new album cover!
It's called 『Rainie & Love...? 雨愛』 (Sorry about the mistake I made about the album name in an old post before)

I need to go into a record store ASAP tmr! Hopefully they've stocked it alr! :D

There are 10 new songs inside, including songs with lyrics penned by Rainie herself, songs from 海派甜心 and a duet with Show Luo!!! :DDDD

{Note: English translations are in bold and done by me...with help from babelfish. Haha even though I speak chinese at home all the time due to having chinese-educated parents who cannot speak a word of english, studied chinese language all my life and watch Taiwanese variety shows all day long, chinese is and forever will be my worst subject so the translations may not be really accurate.

Also, it is difficult to translate chinese to english due to the nuances of the chinese language that are difficult to replicate in english. In addition, this is my maiden attempt at translating anything so I hope everyone will be forgiving of mistakes and stuff and inform and correct them! :D Thanks.}

*Note: I'm also not too sure what 疊式愛情現象 aka the folded phenomenon in love means. I decided to leave the title in chinese as i'm not too sure about its meaning. I think its a taiwanese term, so I'm not familiar with it.

You can listen to the choruses of Rainie's new songs on the site too :D

Rainie Yang's & Show Luo's new album!

Just visited Show Luo's blog.
And i found out his new album is coming out tmr!!!
Ahhh so excited. Am looking forward to it! :D
Esp since i'm so hooked on 海派甜心

This is the cover of his new album! :D


Also, Rainie's new album is coming out too! In 8 days!! :D
It's called Rainie and love or 雨爱!
You can check her blog for a video clip of her newest music video which is 雨爱

The song's super nice!It's the ending song of 海派甜心. And rainie's as pretty as always :)

The album also contains a duet between Show and Rainie. They sang it on 娱乐百分百 :D
You can check out the episode where Rainie's the guest star of the day.

shopping, 海派甜心 & hello kitty

Christmas is just around the corner! :D

Finally visited 313@Somerset today.
There's New Look, Beauty Credit, The Face Shop, Uniqlo, Diva, Zara, Forever 21...
The usual suspects mainly.

Zara, Uniqlo and Forever 21 were HUGE though. But i think the aircon inside was malfunctioning or sth -- it was really hot!
Maybe its also due to the fact that there were tons of ppl milling around, especially in Cotton on.

I swear, the shop looked totally like a battlefield. I initially wanted to buy a skirt but after i looked at the queue i decided not to.

Bought a pair of new pink jeans from Uniqlo. They were only going for $19.90 each! Also bought a new dress from new look cos i'm going to be an intern soon, so i'll need new clothes (haha just a feeble excuse to get new clothes). Citibank cardholders have 10% regular priced items and 5% off sales items so it was a steal.




I got a free snowglobe and a chance in the lucky draw cos i spent more than $50 at 313, which is not bad, considering other malls require at least $100 or $150 before you can redeem anything.





G2000 is also having up to 50% off and additional 15% off for Citibank cardmembers but i didn't see anything i liked so i passed. Robinson's only having promotions for OCBC and Robinsons cardmembers so i skipped Robinsons too.
Robinsons costs a bomb if there's no sale :(

Went to OG Orchardpoint to get a jacket for myself. Bought a white structured jacket for $29.90, after swiping OG membercard, the price was reduced by 10% so it was really worth it. Got a free real pearl and giftwrappers too.



Wrapped the day up by eating Hokkien mee at 85 Fengshan Market in Bedok. Would've liked to eat satay but i was broke after buying so many things.

Resting at home watching 海派甜心 ep 8! Came out this week.
For those of you who still don't know, 海派甜心 is a new taiwanese drama that airs every sunday on cable. So you can watch it on youtube on every monday. Haha.





Main actors are Show Luo, Rainie Yang and Li Wei.
Its super cute and funny! :D
Especially in the beginning when Show has that mushroom head. Haha! And i have an urge to learn the pink panther dance after watching it. Haven't gotten around to learning it. Gonna master it some day! :DD

Finally, sth to keep the doctor away...


This is like super cool! :D
