Taiwan Angela Zhang reminisces school years in Singapore

Taiwanese pop singer Angela Zhang recently visited Singapore after a two-year window period to promote her latest and sixth music album, Fifth Season. After she was diagnosed with a heart problem, mitral valve prolapse, in March last year, the petite performer also has to deal with an ongoing domestic strife between her parents and her.

At the press conference for her music album, the 27-year-old performer seemed to have grown from her recent experiences and appeared more mature than usual. Unable to contain her excitement on performing in Singapore again, she said, “I used to stay here for awhile when I was younger. Thus, I am a little familiar with Singapore.”

The songstress shared that she and her family came to Singapore to learn English during her Primary School years. Viewing the sights of Singapore while sitting in a public bus would be one of her most memorable experiences on this little island.

Unlike the past where her mother would handle her earnings for her, Angela revealed that she has opened her own personal bank account and is currently learning how to handle her own finances. Her eyes glistened with excitement when reporters asked if she was interested in investing in a Singapore property. “If there is a chance, it would be quite interesting.”

After going on hiatus for one year and nine months, the sweet lass commented on her return to the music industry, “The new album is like a growing up process. This album feels closest to heart and I have tried a new music style and image. You’ll see a different Angela.”

“I would not waste my time in life. To me, every little or big thing, troubles and setbacks, they are all colourful. I feel that it is a learning process.”

Angela Zhang snatched away by Jackie Chan for $1.57 million

For her beloved Michael Jackson vinyl record, Angela Zhang would not give up even for famous showbiz veteran Jackie Chan! Recently, the two of them were intensely bidding for an autographed MJ vinyl record, in the end the bid shot up to a crazy $330,000 RMB (approx $1.57 million NTD).

On November 2, Angela Zhang flew over to Shanghai to sing "Invisible Wings" for the "2009 Gary Player Invitational Event" which was a charity function in support of orphans suffering from AIDS. Furthermore, she participated in a charity auction together with Jackie Chan, Wilber Pan, JJ Lin and other artists, all giving their compassion. Unexpectedly, Jackie Chan and Angela Zhang became bidding opponents.

At the function, JJ Lin was in charge of auctioning a limited edition autographed Jackson vinyl record at the opening bid of $100,000 RMB. Angela Zhang who has always seen Michael Jackson as her idol, immediately started to bid. Who knew that Jackie Chan would follow, shouting prices with a determined expression. The two of them consecutively bidded 4-5 times, competing fiercely; in the end Jackie Chan was the highest bidder as $330,000 RMB, making Angela feel a bit disappointed.

Angela who lost the bid, sang her signature comforting song "Invisible Wings" at the function and suddenly asked Jackie Chan to come onstage to sing with her. He assertively went onstage and although he wasn't very familiar with the lyrics, he still happily hummed along. This was their first duet together and although this had not been rehearsed before, they had great tacit understanding and the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak.

Angela Zhang relies on electrifying eyes to get endorsements; loses another 3kg for new album

angela zhang

Angela Zhang, who has been quiet in the entertainment industry for a year and a half yesterday attended an endorsement event for Johnson’s contact lenses. Her already charming big eyes, plus with contacts made her eyes even more sparkling. Because she will be releasing her new album in August, so to look good infront of the camera, Angela lost another 3kg.

At the event yesterday, Angela wore a purple top and whjite jeans. But when she headed onstage, she kept having to pull up her jeans. In fact, so to look good infront of the camera for her upcoming album, she went from 46kg back to 43kg.

However, although she’s back to being skinny, but compared to her previous 36kg, now she still looks a lot more healthy.
