The Olympic Hymn with Sun

On 29 February 2008, The Beijing Olympics launched its travelling exhibition “Olympic Philately & Cultural Tour” with the officiating ceremony held at the grand Royal Theatre within the famed Forbidden City.

During the ceremony, the Olympic Hymn was sung for the first time ever in Mandarin, and taking on the honoured role was our very own Sun!

Shining in a beautiful yellow qipao (cheongsam) and accompanied by a choir of Overseas Chinese from 16 different nationalities, Sun performed beautifully and mesmerised the crowd present with her pitch-perfect rendition of the Hymn. Three cheers for Sun!



Not only were the key leaders of the International Olympic Committee present, but also watching her perform were many other important officials from the Ministry of Culture, Chinese Olympic Committee and the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad.

When interviewed, Sun told leading global provider of breaking news Reuters that, as an overseas Chinese, she was very proud of China hosting the Olympics and it was important to believe in ourselves no matter what others may say. The event was also broadcast and reported on other major news service providers, Phoenix, Channel News Asia and CCTV.

Wow! Sun is sure doing Singapore proud by shining her brightest on the Beijing Olympics.

Sun’s album, Embrace

Sun’s album, Embrace, is very well received and emerged as the #3 best selling album on Taiwan’s G-Music Mandarin Chart, with just a slight sales margin after Jolin Tsai’s album.

This achievement was reported in Singapore’s entertainment and lifestyle magazine U-Weekly, released on 1 March 2008 and Taiwanese daily Ping Guo Ri Bao, dated 12 January 2008.

Sun also clinched the third spot on G-music Combo Overall Album Sales Chart 2007 with the album, proving herself yet again as one of the most popular artistes in Taiwan.
Being her 5th Mandarin album, Embrace bears the hallmarks of Sun’s success formula—inspiring music, hard work and a sincere heart.

Congratulations Sun! Your efforts have paid off and we are so proud of you!

Sun..

Hey guys, 沒辦法在最快的時間上來寫東西，真的很不好意思...

我一直在四處奔波，忙碌著許多事情！！覺得很有挑戰,但是也很有成就感！每次和Wyclef站在台上演出，他都要"改變"我投入藝妓的角色，雖然和我的本性很不同，我卻覺得是對藝人一個很好的激發. 希望你們能看到也會喜歡在這新舞臺上我所詮釋的角色！

我將在這週末和 Wyclef 一起為他最新的歌曲Fast Car拍攝音樂錄影帶。在和Clef 去LA表演之前，我可能會出席些在Bryant park舉辦的時裝秀，開會，如果有時間就參加葛萊美獎 ... Phew！！Thank God 我找到一位很厲害的按摩師來幫我舒解壓力！！
