21-year-old Samantha Ong, graduated with a Diploma in Visual Communication from Temasek Polytechnic in 2008. She designs for passion, enjoys corporate identity and branding and loves photography. “I seek inspiration from daily life, objects, architecture and even nature,” she adds. “I am constantly upgrading myself and I am a perfectionist in everything I do.”

For her final year project, Samantha worked closely with the National Parks Board (NParks) on a brand identity for the Park Connector Network (PCN), which included a logo, brochures, banners and environmental signage.

“The challenge was to create a cohesive, memorable and versatile identity for the NParks Park Connector Network (PCN), which would create excitement among Singaporeans,” Samantha explains. “Keeping in mind the objective to bring people closer to nature, I came up with the concept to convey connectivity and completeness throughout the green network. The four individual brochures represent the four regions (North, South, East, West). When they are put together, they form the map of Singapore.”

Samantha’s PCN work clinched second prize at the 2008 International Design Awards (IDA) in Los Angeles. Back home, the brochure for the completed 42km eastern loop of the PCN was launched last year.

Jolin 蔡依林 spreads her wings

Since releasing her "Dancing Diva" album three years ago, Taiwanese pop princess Jolin Tsai has been wowing audiences with her audaciously difficult dancing repertoire. The notoriously hard-working star has finally paid price for over-exertion, and injured her lower back last month after a dalliance with ballet. Here in Singapore earlier in the week to promote her latest album "Butterfly", we find out how she's been coping.

Q: We've heard reports about your back injury, and there were worries that you might give the showcase here a miss. How serious is it now?
It's still manageable, I've gone to the doctors to let them have a look. There was a while when I couldn't really sit or stand, even breathing felt painful you know that kind of feeling? Now I'm still using traditional chinese medicine to treat it and it seems to be getting better.
Everyone need not be too worried, I'll still be dancing at my shows, and I'll just slow down when it gets painful again.
Q: Sounds bad. So because of your injury, you've recently held small-scale showcases instead of the usual concerts. Have they been a very un-Jolin activity?

Yea it's definitely different, but I quite enjoyed them. Meeting the fans in a small joint with a live band, I felt like I was back to my schooling days. It was very relaxing.
Q: In the MTV for the dance anthem 'Flower Butterfly', you did ballet pirouettes, which is extremely difficult for even a seasoned ballet dancer, let alone a ballet novice like yourself. Did you know that it was going to be that tough?
I had no idea, I guess I learnt the hard way. It really requires a lot of work, you have to set considerable time aside every single to practice.
Q: Did you consider giving up?
Oh yes, there were times when I was so frustrated I felt like hitting my dance instructor with a stick (laughs). The pirouettes were the most difficult dance routine I had ever done. But I knew that a lot of people who watch me have done ballet before, so I didn’t want to look bad in front of them. In the end, I just chose to hang on.
Q: Speaking of MTVs, will you watch your performances or change channels immediately if they appear on television?
If I'm about to release a new album, I'll have a look and see what elements I like and or I can retain for my work in future. If I go to the KTV and they pop up then, I'll force my friends to watch and sing!
Q: Very funny. Another one of the album's main plugs is the hip-hop number 'Real Man.' To you, what traits should a real man not have?
I can't stand guys who are calculative, sensitive, and too good with words. They should also respect women, and be brave enough to take responsibility when things go wrong, not shove the blame to anyone else.
Q: Do you hope there will be a special someone with all these qualities soon?
I've always hoped to have someone like that, not just now. But fate is very unpredictable, sometimes you expect too much from someone or are in too much of a rush to go into a relationship, and it just won't happen. I console myself by saying that it's not really a problem. Actually though, of course it is. (laughs)
Q: Say you found someone you love and are going to get married. Will you inform the media about it or wait for them to find out on their own?
I don think I'll tell. There's just too much pressure you know, when the media gets too involved in your life and start asking you for updates on everything big and small. Things might change in the future, I just don't know for now

蔡依林『愈慢愈美麗』慢歌演唱會 全程坐著唱

帶著好心情高唱梁靜茹的『我喜歡』 歡慶台灣宣傳期正式結束
更狂賀新專輯『花蝴蝶』全亞洲銷售量長紅
華納音樂送上OSIM腳底按摩機及純白超柔軟枕頭



花 蝴蝶蔡依林宣布封舞兩個月,舉辦『愈慢愈美麗』慢歌演唱會,生平第一次演唱會全程坐著唱不用翩翩起舞,也因為休養讓身體狀況稍稍好轉,心情極佳的 Jolin高唱梁靜茹的『我喜歡』,同時也歡慶台灣宣傳期將告一段落,也感謝在所有歌迷朋友的支持下,專輯銷量突破19萬2千!

蔡依林連續兩天密集進練團室與樂手老師們彩排今天的『愈慢愈美麗』慢歌演唱會中的10首曲目,Jolin笑稱:「練團的速度比練舞的速度真的快很多耶!」 加上所有演唱的歌曲都是Jolin自己喜歡的歌曲,在練團室唱到欲罷不能,絲毫沒有要休息的意思,直到樂手老師受不了,再也憋不住,直接問Jolin說: 「我們可不可以休息一下,上個廁所?」Jolin才驚覺自己都沒喘息,但Jolin果真是追求完美,樂手老師都紛紛走出來,她依舊關在練團室哼哼唱唱,詢 問老師說這個音這樣對嗎,這樣唱好聽嗎?讓所有在場的工作人員對她相當佩服!

蔡依林貴為歌壇舞后,卻也同時因為舞藝精湛常讓人忽略的她的歌藝,忘了Jolin也是因為歌唱比賽而進入歌壇,更曾榮獲金曲獎最佳女歌手的殊榮,這回在 『愈慢愈美麗』慢歌演唱會不僅演唱新專輯『花蝴蝶』中的5首抒情歌,另外5首則是她喜歡的歌曲,包括偶像陳奕迅的『好久不見』、好友孫燕姿的『害怕』、梁 詠琪的『偏見』、偶像阿妹的『我恨我愛你』及梁靜茹的『我喜歡』!但經過一連兩天的練團,Jolin說:「我在KTV隨便哼哼唱唱都覺得挺好唱的,可是這 次練團就忍不住驚呼怎麼覺得還真不好唱,因為突然KTV的聽眾變多,要在現場唱給這麼多人聽,加上都是我喜歡的藝人、喜歡的歌曲,壓力大的不輸練舞啦!」



這 場演唱會也是蔡依林台灣宣傳期最後一個通告,工作量將會減輕很多,華納音樂也特別送上OSIM腳底按摩機和超級柔軟舒適的純白蝴蝶枕頭,希望Jolin在 假期中能好好放鬆,夜夜有好眠,她收到腳底按摩機相當開心,笑說:「剛好我家沒有耶,而且這樣打牌的時候,還可以放在麻將桌下按摩腳底,實在太舒適了!至 於枕頭,等等通告結束我要立刻回家就寢,測試唱片公司送的枕頭的柔軟度,如果不ok立刻換貨!」除了希望Jolin能好好休息之外,也是慰勞她在宣傳期的 辛苦,更是歡慶新專輯花蝴蝶在改版之後,銷售成績突破19萬2千,希望帶著這樣的好成績繼續往新馬宣傳,Jolin也說:「真的感謝所有歌迷的支持,結束 新馬宣傳真的會好好休息,希望下次再出輯是全新也是非常好的狀態!」
