Usually when we have a gathering, Jay would always be playing the piano, Geng Hong would play his guitar and I dance. We would pass the time exchanging our talents. We had all written songs before, and were hoping to create a song together.



With Geng Hong around, we always win at basketball

The three of us like to do a lot of things together, like going to the movies, having dinner, and going scotter riding up the hills. I found that any ordinary things, when done with friends, will all become interesting activities.



We bought 3 Monkey scooters together. Although, it looked like a toy scooter, but it packed a lot of power. We would meet to go to the hills on our scooters. Because we were the only ones with these cute little scooters, so we would always get lots of admiring and envious stares when we go riding on the hills. and this makes it even more fun.



As Geng Hong is very health concious, and would always se se liang to us, like an old grandpa. Like the muscles on his body, if he considers us unfit, he would go on and on, critisicing our bodies. He would tell me repeatedly, "Look at yourself, fat, fat, fat!" and he would tell Jay, "You are too skinny, too skinny!"



Geng Hong, with his ah gong (grandpa) character, would always make us do healthful exercises with him. He made us wake up early in the morning to go biking, or dragged us to play basketball. We liked to play three-on-three, to compete with others at the court.



When we are playing in the same group as Geng Hong, we would always win, as Geng Hong is a very good basketball player. So, sometimes, Jay and I would make Geng Hong sit on the sidelines, to watch us play, not believing that we would lose without him. In the end.... we lose. Geng Hong would be laughing at the sidelines, saying,"See, you need to have teamwork! You have to pass! Pass!"



On the court, we also like to challenge each other, and then think of punishments for the losing party. If Geng Hong is around, the penalties are usually more grown-up, like doing push-ups. But if he is not around, Jay and i would tend to the more childish antics, using our creativity to think of crazy and daring penalties.



Crazy penalties: Frog leaps, doggy tricks

Our crazy ideas include making the losing party do froggy leaps around the court, and shouting "Croak croak, I am a frog! Croak croak, I am a frog!" And the distance the person has to jump, is not just a few metres, but more than 300 metres!



When I see Jay jumping around the court, shouting "Croak croak, I am a frog!" it is really funny.....



Another time, the loser had to pretend to be a dog. The winner would throw the ball, and the 'doggy' to fetch. Not only that, after retrieving the b all, the 'doggy' still have to say "Thank you master" and the winner was to pat the loser on the head....



Such an idiotic game, we would still have lot of fun playing it.



Jay's favorite antics is for the loser to roll to and fro on the floor, holding his own head. Jay would find this penalty very funny. Another time, we were playing basketball at the court near Shi Ming Boulevard, and the loser has to take off his shirt, face the road and shout, "I am an IDIOT! I am an IDIOT!"



Whatever crazy ideas he came up with, I
am always g

ame to join in. But we all know our limits, and never got overboard with our games. We can be very crazy in our ideas, but we are not mad....



Playing like this is very important to me, because i


have to face a lot of pressure at work, and this helps me relieve the pentup pressure. I can choose to spend a day happy, or spend the day being moping. So I choose to spend my days with Jay and Geng Hong., and find life very funny and interesting with them.



Trio together, happy always



Friendship is very important to me. There was a period of time when Geng Hong, Jay and I spent all our time playing together. When Jay had his first live concert, Geng Hong and I went to help out. In the middle of his song, he saw me, and asked me to go onstage to sing with him. when he saw Geng Hong, he also dragged him onstage. The three of us, standing on the stage, that kind of atmosphere, and the exchange of emotions, and the memory of us encouraging each other, it was a very moving moment for me.



Success is only sweet when you have good friends to share it with.



And on the day of the Taiwanese hit awards, I was sitting with Jay, and he had already gone onstage twice to receive two awards. Just before the announcement of the third category he had entered, whatever he was thinking, he suddenly told me:



Jay: "If I won the next one, I would let you kiss me!"

Piggy: "Kiss where?"

Jay: "Anywhere you like!"

Piggy: "Okay!"



In the end, when it was announced that he had indeed won the third award, he was totally flabbergasted, and could not believe that he had won three major awards. He excitedly stood up, and hugged me, and I stood up to return the hug.



But, suddenly, he bent his head down, using the crown of his head to face me. He bent lower and lower, until I couldn't kiss him. I believe all the fans who were watching the telecast must be wondering, why Jay wouldn't raise his head then, wouldn't look at the screen. Ai, that was because he had suddenly became shy, scared that I would kiss him passionately in front of all the audience!



After the ceremony, we had our celebratory party in the hotel, and he had to spend the night in the hotel. Of course, this timid and shy 'little heavenly king', who is afraid of ghosts, didn't forget to ask me the same thing, "Can you sleep with me(beside me) tonight?"

Heartwarming, and hilarious article........

Only silly people would think they are GAY..... I would think they are really good friends, and I have the same kind of friendship with my childhood female friend.... crazy and funny, people would not believe we are in our mid-twenties!!!



good for him, that he can find such good friends. The entertainment circle is a lonely place, as people dun know who to trust.

That's right, Ron.....



We could make you improve your chinese, by making you translate some of the articles too???



But then again, we would need another translator to translate what you translated...... hee hee. :tomato:



I dun mind letting Ron try his hand at the translation, you don't need any PhD to do the translations, just as long as you know what the article is trying to say, and just say it in english..... simple, right?



Come on, would you believe this is my first attempt at translation?

For ya guys interested in Piggy (Luo Zhi Xiang), I have another small piece of news.....



Piggy's new book, from which the above articles are taken from, is out, it is named Zhi Shi Hui She (Piggy Society). Apparently, this is a book about his experiences in the entertainment circle, his tears and triumphs, so to say.



On the book's release press conference, Jay and other friends were also there to give their congrats, and even Jolin was there (although she and Jay did not appear together..... hmm... I wonder why?) but Piggy did complain (jokingly, mind you!!!) that Liu Geng Hong was not present...... Liu was on assignment at the other end of Taiwan, and cannot make it back in time.... Piggy joked that, "You can see what kind of friend he(Geng Hong) is.... His book's press release, I went to congratulate him. And now you see, my book's press conference......... hurmp..... Then I wish, his new book don't sell.... just joking.....haa haa....."



Piggy also gave a small description of his book, saying that he had 'betrayed' several of his friends in the book. And the one he 'betrayed' the most, was.................. wanna guess who????



JAY of course!!!! Need you even think???



He even revealed one of the many Jay stories in the book.



One night, after work, Jay realised he forgotten to bring out the keys to his apartment, and was stuck outside. As it was late at night, he had not way of getting someone to help him, so he suggested to Piggy (whom I assumed was with him that day) that they check into a hotel for the night.....

(Why the two of them, you wonder..... I dun know, maybe they shared the same apartment? Or maybe the same reason Jay would call Piggy in the middle of the night to ask him to 'sleep' with him...... Jay is afraid of ghost...... :lol: )



Piggy then asked Jay, wouldn't he be afraid they would be seen by the media, and the next day, the two of them would end up as the headliner "Jay and Piggy check into hotel....." and start all the rumours regarding their sexuality.....



But, Jay didn't think much of that, and even suggested that maybe they would walk into the hotel holding hands, so that the media have something to take photo of???? (Duh....... the two are really a few fries short of a happy meal, huh???)



Well, they did check into a hotel that night...... well...... what can they do??? I think they are sharing the same apartment, otherwise Piggy would have asked him to stay at his place for the night....... but then again, both forget the keys to their apartment???)



In the hotel room, Jay was really funny as he actually went and put pillows on the bed between where he and Piggy would sleep. Piggy was amused and ask Jay if he was trying to reenact the "Liang Zhu" (tale of the butterfly lovers.... there is this one classical scene where the lovers were supposed to spend the night in the same room, and to uphold their modesty, they set pillows as barrier between them........)



Jay ignored Piggy's protest, and settled to sleep with the pillow 'barrier' between them. Piggy, not to be outdone, decided to cross the 'barrier' to snuggle real close to Jay.......... guess what Jay told him....



"Piggy, don't be like that............. we can still be friends....."



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh man, what can I say????

This is funny right???



Yeah, I could stop grinning while I was translating this..... the two of them..... I really envy them, having such good friendship, both of the same wavelength..... know where I can get some more of these friends??? I need people who can joke with.....



I remember reading somewhere, some nice verse to describe people who are a.....

-a few bricks short of a full load

-a few fries short of a happy meal

-a few cards short of a full deck

-a few straws short of a full scarecrow.......



Makes you wonder, with Jay's talent in music, he can still be so wacky??? Maybe he usted his intelligence budget on music talents, and left little for normal everyday chores???



I cannot wait for the book to reach Singapore.... if I ever gets it... I will transcibe whatever I can...... provided I didn't die laughing....



-MacDawn

PS:Or maybe you people here can send the book to me, as a present??? My birthday is March next year......



:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey...... :hello:

I just bought piggy's new book, and it is pretty interesting... There was one chapter on his good friends, and he wrote about Jay and Liu Geng Hong, Hei Ren, Makiyo, Jolin, and several other friends...

The bits about Jay and Liu Geng Hong is totally funny, some of which I already put up here... I will get whatever I can up here asap..... have a few tests to clear first!!!

Heard Karen say she missed me..... ahh.... that's so sweet...... :oops: Well, there are not many interesting articles on jaycn lately, so I dun see any worth in translating them...... will get Piggy's stories of Jay up soon. Actually there is only that one chapter on Jay, the rest are on Piggy's childhood and all his experiences prior to gaining his present state of popularity.... quite a good read...... although I admit i bought it for the stories on Jay.... :wink:

was laughing on the bus when I first got the book from Kinokuniya......

got a clearer idea of why Jay got Piggy to stay with him when he checked into the hotel..... :chin:

Jay forgot the keys to the recording studio, and he was staying IN the studio at the time, so he had nowhere to go..... He called Piggy to pick him up and drive him to the hotel (apparently, he checked into the best room of the hotel....) but he asked Piggy to stay the night with him....... coz he is AFRAID of staying in a strange place alone....... :whatever: .......

It was at the time when Jay still haven't figured out if Piggy was straight or GAY....... hence the pillow incident....... :lol:
