JJ Lin

Well-known Local Male Mandopop Singers

In the context of Singapore, there are probably just two - JJ Lin and A-Do. They're well-known in the sense that they are known beyond the shores of Singapore. Between the two, JJ Lin is obviously more outstanding in terms of popularity and accomplishments. 

My First Impression of JJ Lin?

I didn't have a good impression of JJ in the past because it seemed to me that he'd only mix with people who were in the 'same league' as him. But when I saw a post from another local singer-songwriter, Hong Junyang on his Facebook page, which showed photos of JJ and him, I realised that I had been wrong about JJ.

Conclusion? First impressions aren't necessarily accurate.

JJ's Songs That I Like

I like a few of his songs, namely, Twilight, Practice Love, If Only, She Says and River South. To me, these are his more popular songs. He has another song that I also like which is titled "Stay with You". Incidentally, it was a song dedicated to those who were battling with Covid-19 in its early stage of outbreak. And he co-wrote it with another local Mandopop singer, Stefanie Sun.

JJ Lin is a Rare Gem

Personally, I admire people who're multi-talented. And JJ is definitely multi-talented. He's a great singer; he's a lyricist (he's at least co-written lyrics with others); he's a music composer; he's a music producer; he's an artist and he's a businessman. It's rare, in my opinion (at least), that someone could be so multi-talented. That's a rare gem. 

JJ Lin's After the Rain Charity Concert

I'd never thought that JJ would care enough about the less fortunate to be willing to hold a charity concert. That was until I saw the abovementioned Facebook post. Yes, I know they are unrelated. But somehow because of that post, it's become believable that he'd be willing to do so.

JJ Lin - King of Mandopop?

According to The Straits Times, JJ Lin had a sold-out concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium for four consecutive days in 2018, a feat that was eclipsed only by Jacky Cheung. That being the case, I suppose you'd agree that JJ Lin is a Mandopop king?

Definition of Animal Euthanasia Animal euthanasia is the act of killing an animal humanely, most commonly with injectable drugs. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_euthanasia ) It's  a method of killing that minimises pain, distress, and anxiety experienced by the animal before the loss of consciousness.

Do You Eat Dog Meat?

Image
  Around early 2022, I watched a video of a big dog being forced by a man to go up to a truck. The man was apparently a dog meat trader in a certain part of China. He was using a sharp tool to grip the dog’s neck, which obviously caused it pain and made it fearful as could be seen from its expression. There were other dogs on the truck. It was a sad sight to behold. There were quite a lot of onlookers around. I was shocked that none of them intervened. I knew it could get them into trouble with the dog meat trader if they were to intervene. But if some of them had stepped forward to help the poor dog, it was very likely to be saved. Surely they could buy it or at least call an animal shelter? How could they be so indifferent to the way the dog meat trader handle it? Dogs aren’t poultry. They are supposed to be pets doted by humans, not killed and eaten as food, isn’t it? Moreover, dogs are said to be very loyal. So how could anyone have the heart to kill and consume them? Okay, I k
