Was just browing on youtube on the performances of A*mei, the Taiwanese diva, also known as Zhang Hui Mei. I am so totally impressed by her showmanship and musicianship and I think I have to post this up so that I can easily watch them next time I want to. Hope that she gets to sing the theme song for the Beijing Olympic Games 2008!
Performance of classic Chinese movie theme songs at the 2005 Golden Horse Awards:
Performance at the Asia Song Festival 2007 in South Korea:
Performance at the 2001 Taiwan Golden Melody Awards (where she won Best Female Vocalist):
Performance of “You Give Love A Bad Name” at some MTV event in Taiwan:
Performance at a tribute event to “Ma Ye”:
No idea what show it is:
For the MTV event, there was a posting for the video of her entire performance, but I cannot really find it now though.
She is really awesome!!! I mean which singer can be so versatile?! I want to fly to Japan to watch her sing in the Japanese Musical!!
Subway - healthy, fresh fastfood? April 14, 2008

I was just thinking about this in the midst of my exam preparation (mathematics starts tomorrow… omg). Is there such thing as healthy fastfood? Subway seems to have accomplished just that, or at least, made people believed that. However, are foods from Subway really as fresh and healthy as it is pictured?
With regards to fresh, I think most outlets serve fresh ingredients (or at least I hope so), though I have been to ones where the lettuce is sort of yellow and … you know what I mean. Then one day, I finally saw how the lettuce were packaged - in bags. So lettuce were not freshly chopped? Then thoughts suddenly filled my mind: Were they sent from a central kitchen or? How long have they been kept? Were they frozen before that? Are the other ingredients like that as well? Even tomatoes? etc. So, is Subway still providing fresh food as the logo claims?
As for healthy food, it suddenly dawned upon me that microwaved food may not be very healthy, but I think they use ovens more. So is radiation from oven safe? I think it should be, considering that most foods are born in the oven too. But, is baking bread 2 times in the oven safe? Subway usually allows the option of having the bread toasted again, and I was just wondering… … I probably need to read up more about heat radiation to comment any further about this.
Anyway, I still like food from Subway nonetheless, especially Veggie Delite, since it is the cheapest amongst all other choices. And the white chip macadamia nut cookie! Haha. Hopefully it is as healthy and fresh as it claims.
