Sammi Cheng

Can't believe I haven't written anything about her in all my days of blogging. Will answer a few common questions here. But first, the lady in question:

Sammi Cheng, 33 this August, Hong Kong artiste. Began at 16, still going strong, found fame when she sang 'Can't Bear to Leave You' in '96, I found her when I watched 'Needing You' in 2000.

1. Are you lesbian?
No I do not have a crush/secret lesbian liking/fantasy towards her or anyone else, for Heaven's sake.

2. Why her?/Why do you like her?
No, I am not sure why I like her. Actually I think it might be because of her sincerity and her innocence. At least that is the feeling I get from her. She is very street-smart obviously, and even intelligent, as I found out rather recently, but she rushes home every day after work to read or whatever, which I find is appealing. Also her determination has been a great inspiration for me to carry on in whatever I do. Whenever I find myself wanting to give up in whatever, I think of how she pulled through, and I find, it's not that hard after all. And also I feel a sense of connection with her - maybe it's her way of thinking, her interests, what she has been through (she was overweight) and everything, but that's how it is for me.

3. Listen to her everyday?
No, but almost. Actually it can be counted as everyday haha.

4. Does she deserve all your time, effort and money?
I don't know how to answer that, but all I can say is, I'm happy to spend my money, effort and time on her, she's happy to accept it, we all benefit.

5. How has she helped in any aspect of your life
OK she totally helped when I was studying for the O's. It was a rather tough time, and listening to her songs, her concerts and her words of encouragements were really helpful and I regained confidence every time I felt like throwing everything out the window. I'm sure she'll help in the A's as well!
I've learnt Hong Kong cantonese too along the way, and I can even speak and listen to her when she speaks super fast!!

6. Are u a fanatical fan?
Like quite, haha. Sometimes I just feel happy to read about her news (has to be good) She's top priority when it comes to me spending money on albums. I get quite crazy when it comes to her and I can lose my cool haha!

7. So what do you usually do as a fan?
As moderator of her largest English based website, I translate magazines or newspaper articles to allow non-mandarin/cantonese reading fans to know more about her. With my relatively good memory I am quite capable of remembering almost every detail I've read regarding her, so many fans check with me when they need any info. Many also treat me as if I'm her 'manager'
(haha!!) and ask about her news, which I basically get from the many sources I have.

8. Giving her up?
IN YOUR DREAMS!

i can understand the fanaticism. ^^ i didn't even know she's 33! i always thought she was in her twenties. even though i've seen her around for ages. she just looks the same age all the time. ugh. i'm blur.
