raymond chua – Is Faye Pregnant?

raymond chua, on January 8, 2012, said:

Can anyone here confirm that faye wong are carrying the “3rd child” or pregant? It seems like it is confirm but the concert due on this march 2012, and others were not cancel. I was hoping this is not the right time for pregnant and hoping for a new album really soon before the bringing the new child to the world.

Tong Tong Is 15!

Update 1.4.12:
Lyrics from raymond chua, on January 4, 2012:

在山水之間
在佛塔之間
在聚散之間
在你我之間

在山水之間
有一份信念 是靜默無言
在佛塔之間
有一條經幡 是為你牽掛
在聚散之間
有一劫宿緣 是無常善變
在你我之間
有一縷思念 是魂繞夢牽

此生上路 哪怕天絕地穿
只願途中 能再與你相見

嗡嘛呢唄嚒哄舍
嗡嘛呢唄嚒哄舍
嗡嘛呢唄嚒哄舍

Update 1.5.12:
[Feifan: PlusleMinun, on 2 Jan. 2012, uploaded a video to YouTube with the following comment:]

Faye’s brand-new attempt in the grand new year – an electronic chant.
A brief translation:

Life consumes itself in the blink of an eye,
amid the eternity of time and space.
The process, not the destination,
is what truly matters.
To meet you again
somewhere along the way
is my one and only wish.

Cejan – Faye’s Cover of Alan Tam’s ‘I Like Chopin’

Hi feifan,

I recently went over a cover song by Faye, title is I Love Freckle, in a 1999 compilation album in tribute of Alan Tam. Alan Tam covered the song in 1984, original title is I Like Chopin, by Italian musician Gazebo.

Here are the 2 video links.

Comment: Thanks, Cejan, for these rare audio-videos. Sorry for the late posting. I was slow in checking my email. I’m assuming the album you’re referring to is Alan Tam 15th Anniversary Tribute Collection. Faye’s cover is also featured in The True Story of Faye Wong (王菲正傳), a 3CD + DVD set released in June 2009 featuring 48 of her classic songs, including out-of-print works. We also published an article about this song in June 2008. -Feifan

Hi! Thank goodness for your Faye blog. I can’t read Chinese so this is great. Attended Faye’s concert on Sunday (Kuala Lumpur) and was completely mesmerised. Inspired to make a little video with some footage I shot on my iPhone. Hope you’ll like it, and share it with your readers :-)

[Mark's comment on his "Faye Wong Live 2011" video, uploaded to YouTube  on Nov. 9, 2011:]

Awesome concert with Wong Kar Wai’s artistic contribution elevating it to a near-perfection level. Lighting designer, Mitsumasa Hayashi’s, brilliant illumination was a show by itself. And Faye…always coolly incomparable. This is truly more than a concert – it is a love letter from Faye to her fayenatics.
