** Wilber has a duet track with Angela Zhang entitled “kuai le chong bai”.

** When I first heard Angela Zhang sang an all-english track “Journey” for the Dolphin Bay soundtrack, I was amazed she spoke perfect English. I then found out that she used to go to the same school with singer Wilber Pan and actor Eddy Peng. I forgot what school Will attended in Canada, but it was there where all 3 of them met. Aishhh what a small world.

** Wilber was linked to Patty Hou and singer, Jolin Tsai. Common denominator: Jay Chou. Jeez man! So now that Jay and Patty are really together, Jolin was linked to Wilber. Jezez! Jolin has such a wonderful life! Jay and Wilber, I can go crazy!

** Will wrote a book called "Never Teach me Grammar." I haven’t read that book. I want a copy. ☺

** Wilber Pan is a resident VJ of channel V. ;)

** Will appeared in Christina Milian’s MV, I don’t know which is it but I wanna see him in it. That would be cool!

Taiwanese singer Wilber unleashes his dark side

(Credits to  Joyce Lin – TODAYONLINE)

TAIWAN  Aug 10, 2005    Onstage, Taiwanese singer Wilber Pan goes heavy on the bling and grooves to his signature hip-hop music - like he's a homeboy from the 'hood.  
 
In person, Pan acts more like a goofy kid: He jumped around like a schoolboy when Usher appeared on TV during our interview on Monday.  
 
But the boyish 25-year-old wants to be taken seriously.  
 
"People put me down when I first started out because their impression of me was that of a VJ and actor, not a singer," said Pan. "They thought I was fooling around - it took me quite a while to break through."  
 
Pan showed off his hip-hop credentials at DXO club on Monday night to promote his latest album, Expert, which Pan said "showed a different, darker side" to his music. "My previous albums were mostly happier dance music. But I have my mood swings and I've put that into my music now."  
 
Pan has released three albums since signing on with Universal Music - My Microphone (2003), Gecko Swing (2003) and Wu Ha (2004).  
 
Each album shifted 10,000 copies in Singapore. Since its launch four weeks ago, 5,000 copies of Expert have been sold.  
 
Born in West Virginia in the United States, Pan left for Taiwan when he was seven and returned to the US to study at the California Polytechnic in Pomona, where he was talent-scouted by record label BMG.  
 
That led to a stint as a VJ on Channel V in 2000 and a bad-boy role in Taiwanese idol drama Spicy Hot Teacher.  
 
Currently unattached, Pan has been linked with Jay Chou's current girlfriend, Taiwanese TV host Patty Hou - a rumor that's added to his struggles in learning to handle Asia's showbiz media.  
 
He's tried to see the funny side of the paparazzi attention. "They just write about all these other girls, some of whom I don't even know! Maybe they think I'm going after all of them," he said.  

MORE TIDBITS!

Another interesting article I found posted on August 2, 2005 
 
A snippet of the article: 
---------------------------- 
Pan was born in the US but hadn't heard a single word of English until he went to kindergarten at age 3. He couldn't understand what others were talking about. This made him feel like he was in prison.  
 
One day, he tried more than 30 times to escape. At last, his teacher lost her temper and shouted at him, "Wilber, sit down!" Though he couldn't understand, he knew she was angry. 
 
Later that day, his mother asked him, "What have you learned today?" He shouted, "Wilber, sit down!" 
 
Pan did gradually learn to speak English and soon became a chatter-box. Because of this, his primary school teacher asked him to sit alone, three meters away from his classmates.  
 
"It was so shameful," he recalled. "But I might make the best of this trait. I believe I'd make a successful PR manager if I weren't a singer."

MY FAVOURITE WILBER PAN SONG. ONE OF THE FEW CHINESE SONGS THAT I ACTUALLY TOOK TIME MEMORIZE AND SING BY HEART. I AM GONERS FOR WILBER! ☺
