Well I have always wanted to signup for fitness center been thinking and choosing should I pick one in city, near to my office or near to my home? Should I go for CA Fitness at Bugis or Planet Fitness at Suntec or Planet Fitness where I stay? After more than 10 months I still cannot decide but finally I signup with "Fitness First" which is nearest to my home. Since I can claim from my company around half of the membership I should do so since right now I felt pretty unhealthy. My legs cramp easily and sometimes I get muscle pull when I wake up from sleep, bad body ache back, legs, shoulder basically all over etc etc for past 2 months.
Finally on Dec 22nd I signed up and on 23rd I met my trainer Mike. He is a nice guy with sense of humor and has goatie like WL (haha WL shaved his goatie when he left for Beijing). Then there is this machine where I was asked to stand on it and Mike just have to enter my height and my body fat % will be calculated in few minutes. (Sound like magic machine hoho). Finally Mike informed me the BIG and HORROR news that people my age will have body fat healthy % around 21 to 26. But mine was 46%, God I thought I only stop weighing myself for about 10 months, kept blaming myself for eating heavy lunch right before for this appointment but Mike was kind enough to tell me he has already buffer in % for that. (Wow so honest of him, why can't he make me happy by not saying that leh? Haiz............)
Anyway this is it, I know the time has come for me to burn my pocket and signup for one to one trainer. Thank God I can pay installment for this and did not feel that much pain in paying for this, for good health this money is worth paid. I want to get rid of my 4 months baby (which refers to my huge spare tyre) and my giant thighs which has almost doubled since 2004. I felt this has been the reason for my legs frequent cramps. Finally I asked Mike how is the package like and he said there are 2 package 10 sessions or 30 sessions he recommends that was promotion for me as I pay for 25 sessions and get 5 free. When I signup for the membership I have been given 2 free sessions with trainer and with that in total I had 32 sessions. Mike told me this would last me for max of 5 months which is good. Knowing myself I know I will stop going gym after 2 months so I must be discipline and force myself through.€
Wow finally I went to do 40 minutes of cardio, machines etc, tried around 4 different machines to start warmup myself. Mike said for 1st try start slow. So roughly I burnt around just 125 calories for my first workout. Then my next session on 25th Dec. Mike arranged for my sessions to be 3 times a week with him for first month and I had to go once more to train on my own or attend other classes like yoga etc. My 2nd training was much better I manage to do longer trainings and burnt around 200+ calories for 1 hour session. My body only felt pain after 1st session but from 2nd session onwards it seemed fine.
On my 3rd training I went on my own on 27th Dec to train 1 hour, I basically tried Cardio 30 mins, cycling 15 mins, and another 15 mins on 3 different weight lifting machines. This time I managed to burn around 250 calories. I am so happy that day. While I was trying cardio, Mike saw me and try to give me a scare by hitting my back and then hide himself. I was listening to my MP3 and was shocked how come my friend was here but realised its Mike. He said that he was glad to see me working hard (Phew! Glad I went else I will get one warning from Mike). Mike said he is LOOKING FORWARD to train me next session (Wow! Sounds tough man!)
Finally today my 4th training and also 3rd session by Mike. I went 30 mins earlier so I can get 20 mins to train on Cardio on my own to warmup my body. Mike came and look for me and asked me to go to do REAL trainings. Finally I realised those cardio, machines etc is nothing compared to the tough trainings he was going to give me. I was first asked to carry a ball with my arms stretch out and squad and up and squad 20 times followed by another up and down steps 20 times and in total I did 100 times squad and 100 times steps. I was damn hungry towards the last round but Mike said I can do it, so I have to do it. Finally its over and my sweat was dripping from head down to face and I kept wiping it and kept drinking water.
To my shock, I had another round of different routines, this time I had to squad and pretend to sit with holding the ball another 20 times and do it 5 times. Towards the end I felt so tired around my arms and then was asked to train my legs stamina. I was asked to sit on weight machine and use my legs to lift the weight. I did this for another 5 rounds of 10 times each. Towards the end I kept breathing hard and had to drink lots of water. I told Mike I believe tonight I will have great sleep as I am soooooooooooo tired ! Mike laughed and agreed with me totally. Sweet dreams, Pat ! HaHa! I only kept thinking of getting nice bath and relax myself but I have another appointment to go in Clementi. So quickly went to take bath and changed and then get my butt to the taxi stand to go Clementi as I 'bo lat' to take MRT then walk as I am soooooooo hungry and tired. On the way I pack sausage with prata from nice store at basement. The way prata was fried was without oil and its using much less oil to cook which suit my diet now.
Just a note now I don't go for late dinners, no dinner appointments unless its important meetings for next 5 months not at least until my workout see real results. Food wise I have to cut down desserts (sweets), rice/noodles, oily and fried food. I can still eat meat but must not be fried and moderately. Best to eat fish, seafood. I was able to refrain myself from eating meat recently. In fact after just 1 week I can feel results my tummy is tighter and reduced at least half an inch. I get less bloated stomach. Also I tried to eat grapefruit 2-3 times a week to help in digestion. Cut down breakfast, only taking oats and plain wheatmeal bread. Lunch no rice, light food like yong tau foo. Try to eat mee suah or bee hoon soup instead of any noodles or rice.
Mike suggested I eat 5 smaller meals a day rather than 3 full meals. By cutting down breakfast and lunch, I have managed to keep my appetite smaller. Dinner I will eat twice once around 4-5pm light one and another time at around 6-7pm or later if I have trainings. For the meals that I eat less when I felt hungry I will drink a cup of hot Milo and it works. Milo gives me energy for workouts plus its filling, I will eat less meat when I drink Milo. I also bought energy bar which comes with more energy than calories. In between the day when I felt hungry I will eat some. 1 bar I can eat for 4-5 times as snacks in between smaller meals.
I hope to keep track of this and see results after 1 month. I do not care how many kg I loose but most important is I would like to maintain my body fat at around 24-25% rather than 46% at end of 5 months from now which is May 08. I will update again soon after I train for my 8th time. Hopefully by then I can reduce at least 2-3% fats with strict diet and trainings 4 times a week. Wish me all the best ba.
Finally on Dec 22nd I signed up and on 23rd I met my trainer Mike. He is a nice guy with sense of humor and has goatie like WL (haha WL shaved his goatie when he left for Beijing).

Thanks to Elsie, I uploaded this scanned copy of today's Zao Bao which covers top local entertainment news for 2007. Glad to see that WL has a positive report. WL was also involved in famous local '881' movie though just guest star and sang one hokkein song in the movie and another song in the soundtrack but this is good exposure for him.

Christmas and shopping spree 2007
I cannot believe it but I did spend more than $200 at AMK Hub Five elements buying a number of bracelet and necklace. Initially wanted to get a new white gold chain budget around $300 since mine broke last year. But this SK sales assistant told me they do not have the length I was looking for and no stock. They do not know when stock will come in (to my disbelief??). I can only say what a lousy sales assistant, did not even try to promote any other necklace for me (do I look like I do not have the money to buy?) Anyway I manage to find the chain I want just gold plated like above photo at just $18 after 5% discount. I was told I need to get 3 necklace to get the 5% discount so I bought 2 more necklace only to end up buy couple more as I can get VIP member plus other benefits. I bought 2 birthday gift in advance for my friends coming birthdays Jan~Feb.
A bit difficult to take photos so just have sneak preview, all the chains are unique, bought the last one as its heartshape. The first 2 I can wear to formal functions (well I have one coming March wedding). I was told not to sweat too much on the chain and not to wear them to take bath so I have to take real good care of them. This is one disadvantage of not purchasing real gold jewellery but the price is so so cheap and they look really nice. The necklace with pendant came in a set and costs about $25~$30 after discount.
The one in the black case is flowery bracelet love this alot. Imported from Paris and handmade most expensive item I paid for at this shop at about $40. The white gold plated is a real nice necklace with 2 faces. Difficult to take zoom photos so will just see a preview.
This is branded "Coach" bag from US. My colleague Susan help me to get it from Washington DC discounted price of about US$270+ which is in SGD around $390 which is much cheaper as in Singapore you have to pay above $600 for the same bag. This bag will replace my hunger for the Louis Vutton bag that I have been looking for in Taiwan, HK and Singapore LV shops but still out of stock after so many months. I will no longer wait for the LV bag which costs triple the price of this but a bit bigger in size. Bye to my LV dreambag ~~!!
Bought this handbag a week ago adidas and after discount cost me around $60/- Now in my closet waiting for my time to use it when its right
One tee for $9 good bargain comes in different colors. Loved the material. Keep it for New Year.
One tee for $10, bought 2, good for exercises as the material is very light and can absord sweatI have more items but not able to take photos yet will add on soon !
Note: The shopping items were purchased between Nov~Dec period not purchase at the same time but I update together easier for me.

My new year resolution
I have been thinking of new year resolution but still have not conclude but following are some of what I need to set target for coming 2008:
(a) Active year - I want to be more active, must setup schedule for cleaning my room, iron clothings plus to do exercise regularly (maybe jog once a week) reduce 21% of my current fat level (Ha Ha)
(b) Healthy year - I want to eat healthy, less and 5 smaller meals a day
- Every morning I must take a big bottle of water, wholemeal bread for
breakfast and 1 calcium pill
- Eat each meal moderately, if hungry drink more water
- Eat more fruits and vegetable
(c) Holy year - I must set sometime for God, read bible, study bible and listen more christian songs
Hopefully these 3 items I set target for 2008 can be done

Inside the christmas tree has 3 big figures, santa, snowman and reindeer
This view is from the entrance of the christmas tree.

Closeup photo of my new mobile its greyish brown color
Phone with accessoriesRecently I invested some of my CPF fund for investments through Prudential and got myself a pretty great phone. I went to collect it at AMK Hub with my letter but was told it was out of stock. I went again 2 days later and a glimpse of it enough to make me fall in love with my new phone. I did not expect to like this phone but it was slim and light and key pad much better than my 11 month old N73 which I seldom use due to numerous reasons. Well now I have 4 phones which include my office Black Berry Curve which I got it 2 months ago. I am going to give my mum my old Samsung which is about 2 years old. Will keep my N73 and this Sony ericsson baby with me.
Though this phone came free but I thought why not I get some accessories and decide to purchase the wireless bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970 which I can listen to songs and answer phone calls through this device rather than holding the phone. I looked at the demo video played in the shop it was pretty interesting to know that Sony Ericsson phones not only looked better than nokia but has a number of interesting accessories. Tested this wireless device and was pretty impressive got it for $98 which was the offer price and $58 for the memory card which is not the same mini SD I have for my other phones. I also joint the orange club as the membership not only comes with discount but for any repairs I will be given loan phone while waiting for my phone to be repaired and other benefits. In future if I get accesories or phones from this shop I can get further discounts and I got myself extra battery for discounted price.
So in total I spent around $200+ for accessories for my free phone, seems like I start to be obsessed with my new toy :P

To cut short let's watch this video which I recorded last night and I am really mad at the organizer Daniel aka DA NIAO who happen to pick my gift (NO 1 gift you know??) and value at minimum $12 and wrongly assumed as below the minimum gift amount ($10). How can the organizer 'xiao kan' my gift ha? No manners LAH THIS BIRD do you know, he even tried to exchange with other gifts more than once. And I have proof in my video ok (unlike someone's 'ah lao' take video bo sia upload then removed why and for what ) ?
Can you imagine my feelings (Ha Ha Ha, well I don't really care coz I got a hand massager from Judy hohoho ) when I was in the toilet I can hear that "Da Niao" chio chio chio making noise complaining and trying all means to change it with others when I was not present. (Ho Ho Ho, sorry hor gift taken no exchange ok?)
Those who are curious can watch the video that I uploaded *(took me very long time :P )
Anyway everyone had fun if no fun then no laugh ma. All these just to help tell story of the funny things that happen. The video can show how each laugh and enjoyed the gift exchange hehe.

Dinner at DianXiao Er Dec 18th
Felt lazy to cook and wanted a better meal spent about $18 for dinner which include GST, a set of roast duck costs $8 (which includes 1 bowl of soup with duck drumstick) plus $6 tofu which not only look different taste like fish. I believe it was made with fish meat though I never asked. It was pretty nice dinner and had full stomach that night before I went to shop at Bossini having promotions bought 3 M&M tees which I will upload later. (Too many photos taken lately)

Since there are so many photos and so much to write, I have this Part 2 to continue but I will write just in summary.
Here we are arrive at Scotts Road right opposite Far East Plaza. We walk overhead bridge after stepping in Far East Plaza realised that Melody and friends not behind us only June, me there where are the rest? Realised they are busy taking photos and Fang/Wei were shopping inside Guardian with Melody taking photos of Singapore artiste's advert posters :P
I went to take photos too. My not so impressive digital camera took few shots of the hanging Christmas lightings which suppose to be bright and white but after I upload photos realised they look rather gloomy :P
After all the photos taking, we decided to split into 2 groups of 4 and 7. Seems the 7 of us (initial group) who are more click will go together while the other 4 went another way. Then after split we went look around at level 2 then go down to basement to look at clothings and finally Melody and Tung Tung got one piece of shirt each. Then we realised its already after 8.30pm and we suppose to meet the other 4 gals so we went back to level 2 and there we go back to the bus stop to wait for buses to Newton Circle.
Here we informed Taiwanese friends not to talk to those stalls as they like to fight to get business and kinda very pushy to ask customers to order at their stalls. But immediately after we got into the makan place we have no choice but to sit in front of stall 52~53 since there are no other better seats. Again we ordered sharing but split by 2 groups of 7 and 4 again.
There are so much food we order, Satay Chicken, BBQ Stingray, Fried Rice, BBQ Chicken Wings, Friend Hokkein noodle, White and black carrot cake, Singapore Rojak etc. Out of so many, Melody and Tung Tung chose BBQ Stingray and black carrot cake as their favourite. They find Satay chicken is kind of tasteless and not what they expected but we explained that this is likely because its not from malay stall and not the authentic satay so its not what they expected.
To be continued :P
spoke at : 7:31 PM
Pictures from meeting
Group photo at Newton Circle makan place (I am holding camera not in this photo)
Melody's Taiwanese friends
Me and MelodyMelody arrived Singapore through Singapore Airlines friday night and called me about 7.30pm after she checkin her hotel at YWCA and meet up with her Singapore friends June etc at Bugis. Well since she has her local friend with her I told her will meet her Saturday instead so we arranged and I asked Fang and Wei along since she has chat with them before. Its good to know more Singaporeans right? We made arrangements prior to the meetup.
Me, Melody and Tung Tung
Melody and her friend Tung TungYesterday finally gave Melody call at 10 am and she told me to meet up around lunchtime as she is meeting another Singapore friend around 4pm. I went to Viviocity to meet up with Melody and 3 of her Taiwan friends. When I arrive at Viviocity gave her a call and she told me she is at this "XXXXX" Chan Ting, guess I am not used to makan place in chinese and location names in chinese so I cannot imagine exactly which makan place is this. Well, I am used to say Restaurant/Chan Guan. Somehow I am expecting its something like those HK Cha Chan Teng.
So I walk one big round then call her again to ask what are the shops near to the place she is having lunch. Finally I found it after get copy of the Viviocity Shops directory from Information counter and realised earlier I turn right instead of left. I should have done so. Melody had lunch at Nyonya restaurant. She introduced me to her friends, Tung Tung who share room with her and another couple (hoho we don't talk much yesterday so I forgot their names actually). Later Fang and Wei arrived and Melody and friends paid the bill as the restaurant waitress told us they suppose to close at 3pm and its already exceeded time for us to leave.
So we decided to go to TS video since Melody and friends wanted to buy local Singapore movie and vcds. Sounds familar like me when I was in HK and Taiwan last year looking for HK dramas, Koreans and etc. On the way I realised they went missing only to find out that they actually snapping photos of Fiona Xie at OSIM store. WOW! I cannot imagine, I never even bother to look at local artistes what about taking photos? Well I realise I will be the same when in Taiwan taking Taiwanese artistes photos. Then we pass by Jay Chou big poster asked them if they want to take that and Melody told me "Nah. I dislike him and don't support him........" haha now I know.
Finally we reach TS video but shop assistant told us they only have 3 sets of Singapore dramas videos. After looking around Melody bought a number of Singapore movies and found 1 set of drama placed together with other taiwanese videos with help of 2 real friendly Singaporeans Fang and Wei while I busy looking for Korean videos myself. Total Melody paid SGD104.50 for big bag of videos while her friends each has bought some copies as well. Then we left TS video and found one stall selling healthy drinks and bread. We stop by for drinks and I bought this Apple, Wheatgrass drink for SGD4 and the 4 buns for $5 sharing with Fang and Wei who later went to get Hot Dogs. After steaming the buns they taste real good. Regretted I forgot to get photos taken.
Initially there we are just 7 of us but later June and another friend arrived and now we have 9. Then June informed us that outside was very heavy down pour so we cannot go to City Hall - Merlion to take photos as planned. So we are to head back to Hotel to let Melody and friends rest and leave their shopping bags while waiting for rain to stop. We took MRT to Dhoby Ghaut then walk back to YWCA. First time going to this lodge cum hotel and realise it was not as bad as YMCA I stayed in HK last year. We stay on for like 1.5 hours talking and chatting all the way. Also exchanging contacts. Its interesting we get to know so many new friends both Taiwan and Singapore just after one meeting.
Later Melody get call from Pei Ling who was downstairs waiting for us to go out shopping at Far East Plaza and dinner at Newton after. Pei Ling brought another friend Yung Ling (hope I spell it correctly). Maybe Pei Ling and Yung Ling more shy other than said hi we did not chat. 11 of us went to take bus to Scotts Road for our shopping spree.

Wow I am totally excited as I am meeting Melody and her friends today. She is in Singapore last night to attend Singapore Star Awards 2007 at Mediacorp. Well, this year WL is not one of the appearing artistes so I did not get any tickets so NO I will not be attending.
But I have here gifts for Melody and Ya Ting two of my super great friends and WL fans from Taipei. Thanks to WL else I won't get to know 2 special ladies. Last night had a chat with Ya Ting she told me that she was thinking if there is no Mediacorp she wont know Melody and then will not know me. Seems these two ladies been very active at Mediacorp forum (overseas fans) where they share local Singapore dramas and discussions.
That was why they get to know WL and Kelly Poon and then when WL release album in Taipei I got Melody's contact and this is how I started this Blog main purpose to promote WL to overseas fans but again since I update this blog with WL news so often I will also 'lumpang' to post something about me but that will be just probably 10-20% of the posting at this blog.
I have 2 other blogs but I no longer update them as its too tedious to update 3 blogs than just 1.
I do hope my friends out there understand now why you see more WL news than about me as I spend alot of my free time to promote his songs to overseas fans. :)
Maybe I should think of doing this as full-time but only when financial permits, I still need to eat and pay for my bills :P

Christmas coming !!
Well this year Christmas will be quite slow for me as lately been super busy. Besides rushing for projects during work before year end, during my non-working hours I have so many WLFC events to take care, weekly song votings, developing photos, moderating forums and then again to update my blog.
About myself, I just back from Malaysia trip to celebrate my dad's birthday and exchange christmas gift with my second brother Siek Chew. He got me bed sheet for my Singapore bed. Yeah !
Anyway I also just had company Christmas Party 2007 and I was RC for the first time this year. Glad its the last event I had to be involved next year I will pass on to my other IT colleagues whoever it may be. I was hoping to win one of the lucky draw prizes which top $500 shopping vouchers to min $50 shopping voucher. I was happy that finally I won this year. Last year my other colleague won instead. Now I have $50 shopping voucher where I can shop at any Centerpoint shopping malls.
Wow I also bought WL a christmas gift key chain from Malaysia hope he likes it :)
Coming 20th Dec we have this christmas party at a friend's condo. I have to start buying gifts, there will be gift exchange for this. As for church gift exchange, honestly I had been really busy and down with flu virus last month I have not been able to go sunday service regularly. But I do pray next year 2008 I can be regular again and can contribute my time to serve regularly.
This year The Lord put me to test as I was being placed at Nursery 1 with small babies which is not my preference as I am afraid of hurting them they so tiny and fragile. I requested to transfer back to my old church at Adam Road and waiting to be called to serve again next year.
Also I am already planning for next year CNY holidays. I bought myself bus ticket 2nd Feb to go back hometown. But yet to get myself return ticket which I plan to get my dad to help me purchase Train KTM from Rawang to Singapore.
In January I have 2 concerts at Singapore Indoor Stadium to go for:
5th Jan - Jacky Cheung, this is my 2nd time but I bought cheapest $90 and 1st row, really enjoyed last year's one totally mesmerized
19th Jan - Jay Chou World Tour 2008 - I managed to get this after queueing for 1.5 hours at Bishan J8 sistic since the whole system was unaccessible on the day open for bookings. Going with my friend Dawn from WLFC
Totally looking forward to Christmas and coming JAN 2008.
To my friends, hope you get some update from this post as I prefer to summarize for one week rather than post daily.

主持人邵扬：Hello！各位TOM网友大家下午好，欢迎收看2007网络娱乐英雄会，本期讨论的是现在歌手生存状态，今天请到嘉宾非常特别，而且特别适合今天讨论的议题，而且也很有资格。下面以热烈的掌声请出新加坡歌手陈伟联。
陈伟联：谢谢！
主持人邵扬：我特别高兴今天能来到英雄会的现场。
陈伟联：不会，这是我的荣幸，很高兴来到北京跟大家见面。
主持人邵扬：第几次来北京？
陈伟联：第二次。16年前来过一次。
主持人邵扬：16年前来的时候是这个季节吗？
陈伟联：是夏天。
主持人邵扬：会不会觉得现在很冷。
陈伟联：不会啦，只是觉得晚上有一点冷。
主持人邵扬：你没有到来之前很多网友说跟你留言，问你不知道适不适应北京的天气。
陈伟联：我比较怕热，我经常跟朋友说宁愿被冷死也不愿意被热死。
主持人邵扬：在马来西亚，新加坡一些城市你已经如雷贯耳了。
陈伟联：新加坡和马来西亚还好了。（笑）
主持人邵扬：而且我知道你05年参加《绝对Superstar》，一夜成名。
陈伟联：不是一夜了。（笑）
主持人邵扬：一开始没有参加选秀之前，在做什么？
陈伟联：没有参加选秀之前，读完书过后，大概98年我其实是一个街头艺人，在新加坡民歌餐厅有演唱过。
主持人邵扬：之前在餐厅演唱对吗？
陈伟联：对，就是讨一个生活了。
主持人邵扬：很适合今天的讨论话题，歌手生存的状态。可以讲讲那个时候的经历吗？
陈伟联：对我来说每天就是平淡的过，没有什么特别的经历可以说得拉。（笑）
主持人邵扬：我觉得陈伟联是非常乐观，很积极向上的人。
陈伟联：乐观的过也是一样啊。无精打采的过也是一样。当然人生也有一些比较低潮的部分。
主持人邵扬：你也会有低潮的部分？
陈伟联：当然会有，我可能每天晚上睡觉前想想，比较不开心的东西，自然而然就会进入你的脑海里。
主持人邵扬：像super star，我们国内也有一些选秀的活动。
陈伟联：知道，类似于超女。
主持人邵扬：我知道跟你有类似情况的，他不是眼睛看不到，是听不到，是好男儿比赛，一个选秀的节目，也有唱歌也有表演。
陈伟联：有唱歌，跳舞，可能也包括演戏这样子。
主持人邵扬：可能参加比赛的时候，同台竞争的歌手，歌迷们就会说一些很刺耳的话。
陈伟联：新加坡也是一样，这是无法避免的。可能能够站上一个舞台表演，或者参加一个比赛，能够上电视，可能对很多人来说都是他们的梦想，或许有些人就是看到一个盲人在台上，可能上了电视，所谓的一夜成名，可能有些人看了，自然而然比较不是那么喜欢就对了。（笑）
主持人邵扬：有的人可能会说今天获得这个名词，可能是大家对你的同情，但是你听到这样的话心里会怎么想？
陈伟联：其实我不可以否认，新加坡的跟超女一样，不可以否认尤其开始的时候，看到一个盲人在台上表演可能会同情他，因为比赛常常达到五六个月，每投一票都要付费的。开始的时候可以同情一个人，可是你同情他六个月嘛，那不是口袋越来越空了。（笑）所以开始的时候会有啦。
主持人邵扬：最重要参加这个节目初衷是什么？
陈伟联：我也没有想太多，就是一群朋友要参加，所以硬拉着我去。其实我也没有参加比赛的那种欲望。其实从小就想当一位歌手，可是到了少年时期的时候，可能会想“不要想太多了”，可能会唱歌的人太多了，我也没有什么特别，所以也没有特别去想，让自己的梦想去成真。之后就开始在街头表演，在民歌餐厅表演，肯定会跟自己说，只要每天过得平淡经济上能够支付自己的需要就够了，也算是糊里糊涂参加了比赛，就让自己的梦想成真了，也没有想到。
主持人邵扬：你刚刚在讲，新加坡会唱歌的人很多。
陈伟联：对，有很多。
主持人邵扬：我相信对你音乐才能相当的高，但是能走到今天这一步，肯定付出了我们人所不知道背后的一些辛酸之类的。
陈伟联：可能我面对事情的时候，都尽量不要想太多，不要管太多就对了。就做自己觉得对的就好了，因为每个人的看法都不一样，观点都不一样，多听听娱乐圈比较有经验人的一些劝告，可能其他方面，最重要做的东西自己还是要喜欢。
主持人邵扬：你说从小的时候喜欢音乐，我知道你的视力上有一些问题，看不到，那怎么样弹吉他，看五线谱。
陈伟联：小时候听听收音机，小时候还在卖卡带，希望有一天的卡带在收音机上，电台上可以播。吉他是因为听到朋友弹了，觉得我为什么不能够去学一学，只是基本的一些吉他的弹法。之后自己慢慢摸索，就到现在这样子。其实现在也不是特别的好，就是还可以听吧。（笑）
主持人邵扬：既然说到吉他，今天陈伟联也带来了，能否给我们现场演奏一段？
陈伟联：OK。（笑）
主持人邵扬：好！我今天好有耳福啊，可以听现场版。
陈伟联：现在来一首我参加比赛的一首歌，这首歌其实在新加坡当时给大家留下的第一个印象，大家应该很熟悉的一首歌熊天平唱的《火柴天堂》。
（陈伟联现场弹奏吉他、深情演唱《火柴天堂》）
主持人邵扬：哇，我听完这首歌，都不知道怎么表达了，真的感觉好像跟我以前听的感觉完全不一样的。我之前也有听到我在网上或者是CD上听现场版的又是不一样。我觉得你好像用心在跟我们唱歌。
陈伟联：基本上唱歌的时候不会想太多东西，自然就唱歌吧。
主持人邵扬：你唱歌的时候，我们这里好静好静，真的好舒服啊。
网友：我想知道陈伟联是不是因为喜欢熊天平才唱这首歌的？
陈伟联：没有，我对很多歌手很欣赏的，主要是欣赏他们的歌，熊天平的歌也有他自己的特质，当然我的音律没有他广，他的音律比较偏高。这首歌当时都蛮红的，好像在民歌餐厅，好像在街头表演的时候，都想听到这首歌，大家都会唱了。
主持人邵扬：之前在打工或者是街头都会唱到这首歌。
陈伟联：对。
网友：不知道陈伟联喜欢的歌手是谁？
陈伟联：我知道的像陶喆都是我蛮喜欢的。
主持人邵扬：我知道马上要出第二张专辑了。像我知道的《I love You》也是翻唱的。
陈伟联：是日本的歌手尾崎丰的一首歌，之前还有台湾的台语版。
主持人邵扬：我知道陈伟联昨天参加了一个非常了不起的活动，陈伟联非常有爱心，跟我们网友说一下吧。
陈伟联：昨天参加了一个盲童的活动，很高兴这次邀请我到北京唱歌给他们听。
主持人邵扬：据说你一下唱了五首歌，会不会很累？
陈伟联：倒不会很累，只是昨天刚刚到北京，还没有适应这里的空气，有一点干，还在适应当中，那个温度好像还可以。
主持人邵扬：因为你说了宁可冷死也不要热死。
陈伟联：喉咙比较容易哑吧。

新浪娱乐讯 12月13日，一场名为“奥比斯·娑罗盲童复明绘画展”的公益活动在北京娑罗画廊举行，来自新加坡的盲人歌手陈伟联作为唯一的演唱嘉宾献唱了《I Love You》等几首歌曲，他用自己对生命的热忱和温暖的歌声告诉所有盲童，有梦想就要努力去实现，只要尽力了就不会留下遗憾。
对于国内的歌迷来说，陈伟联这个名字还较为陌生，其实他在新加坡、马来西亚等东南亚国家具有相当的知名度。2005年，陈伟联从有4000多人参加的歌唱比赛《绝对Superstar》中脱颖而出，成为总冠军，继而成为家喻户晓的盲人歌手。2006年，陈伟联在新加坡发行首张专辑《我只是想要》，短短五天即破白金销量，三个月后即举办首场个人大型售票演唱会，造就新加坡音乐史上的一个奇迹。
公益活动上，陈伟联为到场来宾演唱了《火柴天堂》、《走出黑暗的世界》、《其实你不懂我的心》等当年他参加歌唱比赛时演唱的曲目和首张专辑主打歌《我只是想要》，真挚的感情、清亮的嗓音和高超的演唱技巧令人折服，作为压轴曲目的《I Love You》更是让听者感受到这位盲人歌手丰富细腻的内心世界，这首歌也将成为陈伟联即将于明年初在内地发行的首张专辑的主打歌。
陈伟联说，从他12岁开始接触到吉他就和音乐结下了不解之缘，对他而言，“音乐是一个很好的表达方式，”成为他心灵的一扇窗户。作为盲人歌手，陈伟联自然遇到了许多常人无法想象的困难，但是他要告诉所有已经复明和没有复明的盲童，如果有梦想就要努力实现它，“即使最后没有成功，只要你尽力了，就不会留下遗憾。” 柯璐/文 孙慧/图
All the best to him.

新浪娱乐讯 12月13日，一场名为“奥比斯·娑罗盲童复明绘画展”的公益活动在北京娑罗画廊举行，来自新加坡的盲人歌手陈伟联作为唯一的演唱嘉宾献唱了《I Love You》等几首歌曲，他用自己对生命的热忱和温暖的歌声告诉所有盲童，有梦想就要努力去实现，只要尽力了就不会留下遗憾。
对于国内的歌迷来说，陈伟联这个名字还较为陌生，其实他在新加坡、马来西亚等东南亚国家具有相当的知名度。2005年，陈伟联从有4000多人参加的歌唱比赛《绝对Superstar》中脱颖而出，成为总冠军，继而成为家喻户晓的盲人歌手。2006年，陈伟联在新加坡发行首张专辑《我只是想要》，短短五天即破白金销量，三个月后即举办首场个人大型售票演唱会，造就新加坡音乐史上的一个奇迹。
公益活动上，陈伟联为到场来宾演唱了《火柴天堂》、《走出黑暗的世界》、《其实你不懂我的心》等当年他参加歌唱比赛时演唱的曲目和首张专辑主打歌《我只是想要》，真挚的感情、清亮的嗓音和高超的演唱技巧令人折服，作为压轴曲目的《I Love You》更是让听者感受到这位盲人歌手丰富细腻的内心世界，这首歌也将成为陈伟联即将于明年初在内地发行的首张专辑的主打歌。
陈伟联说，从他12岁开始接触到吉他就和音乐结下了不解之缘，对他而言，“音乐是一个很好的表达方式，”成为他心灵的一扇窗户。作为盲人歌手，陈伟联自然遇到了许多常人无法想象的困难，但是他要告诉所有已经复明和没有复明的盲童，如果有梦想就要努力实现它，“即使最后没有成功，只要你尽力了，就不会留下遗憾。” 柯璐/文 孙慧/图
