Omg I know this line has been said in my site too many times already, but for this guy, I would say it again! I love Richard Poon. He is not the typical drop-dead-gorgeous guy but he definitely looks handsome! Chingky eyes are my weaknesses haha and Poon just turn my knees into jelly…I cannot believe he is 30-ish! He is smoking, goin once, going twice, and sold to the highest bidder! Hehe...Isn't he gorgeous? Say no, and I will squeeze you till your eyeballs pop out...kidding! Hehe...You don't have to stop with his looks, his voice sounds so much better too! Crooner all the way! And you should see him with the piano and guitars, can he play the violin? Saw pics of him doing that…sheshhhh, what can he NOT play? The leaf I guess.. And he sings awesome Chinese songs too! He sang Peng You by Emil Chow and made it totally classy! Wo xen de xen de han ai ni...He is all around awesome! Am I right? Or am I right? I am always right...right kiddos? Hehe...I think I have lost my wits. You got to buy his cd already! I just went to a record store and his cds are selling like freakin hot cakes!

Richard Poon: On his way
He comes up the stairs, and as soon as he pushes the glass doors open, he is greeted with exclamations of "You look so young in person!"
If Richard Poon has people thinking that he's older than his 30-something years, blame it on the music that he sings: Richard belongs to that rare breed known in the music world as crooners, people who sing songs popularised by Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin. He listened to the standards as a child, so when he decided to pursue a career in music full-time, it was easy to adapt them into his repertoire. "I think may influence, the type of music I sing, on the way that people see me, that's why they think I'm older than I actually am," he offers. "But I'm not bothered by it. Tanggap ko na."
Despite his age, Richard is a newcomer to the music business. It's only now that he is pursuing a full-time career in singing. If his family had its way, he would have followed his father's footsteps into the restaurant business. His father started the famous Mr. Poon chain of Chinese restaurants. As the only son, Richard was expected to take up the mantle and follow his father into the business. But Richard's "extraordinary passion for music" (his words) dictated a different path.
The decision wasn't easy for his father to accept and they became estranged for a while. Richard left home in 2000. But he was determined to prove to his father that even if they couldn't see eye-to-eye on business matters, that they were still father and son, and that nothing could change that.
His persistence paid off, and eventually, his father's heart melted. "He became proud of me. I'll never forget what he told me after watching one of my performances. He said, 'You have something special in you.' For me, that was better than even money or fame," says Richard.
The singing chef finds his voice in standards
BY ISAH V. RED
Richard Poon, after cooking for many years in both his dad's Mr. Poon and a charming gourmet restaurant along what is now C5 fronting what is now occupied by the SM Hypercenter Pasig, is now whipping up a different kind of dish.
He is singing and not cooking, something his father, the older Mr. Poon whose Cantonese cooking has made him a byword among Manila's gourmet set, may not have wanted his son to do, but is very proud of these days.
Richard, whose fledgling career in music at one point in his youth nearly pressed him to give up on music and focus his mind more on cooking up palette-pleasing dishes, is now a celebrity in his own right.
He has a CD out in the market, a regular segment in a musical variety show every Sunday, an increasing fan base, and an upcoming solo concert.
Eva Poon (of Eve's Garden fame) from whom Richard inherited his talent for music —she was a popular chanteuse in Taiwan before moving to Manila to settle with Richard's dad —should be very happy that Richard is actually singing his way to the bank.
Richard Poon is living his dream—writing songs for other artists such as Piolo Pascual, singing standards and contemporary songs and performing in front of an audience. Being in the limelight is already in his blood since his mother was a Taiwanese popstar. But don't think that Poon is only talented in music. He is also a businessman and owns a restaurant which offers both Chinese and Filipino food.
He shares that for a Cantonese-Taiwanese singer like him, it is rare to find another one in the music industry. This is why he feels honored that music icon Jose Mari Chan himself encourages and supports Poon in his endeavor.
When writing songs, he doesn't have any ritual and isn't contained into writing 'within a box.' Most people don't know that he dreams of collaborating with a variety of musical artists from different genres, such as Bamboo, Gloc 9, Andrew E and Salbakuta as well as Regine Velasquez, a woman he speaks highly of, and Christian Bautista for a Buble-Groban concert.
When asked how he feels working with Asap (the weekly Sunday concert party) and Asap Live (concert production) he states, "It's very challenging. Sometimes I feel pressured because since I'm new in the industry, I don't know what to do. But I'm so overwhelmed with Sir Deo's [Endrinal] support for me. Everyone—they're all so supportive and so nice."
He shares that people can expect to hear and watch a different Richard Poon in his much-awaited concert. Be ready to be captivated and delighted by his refreshing old school music and unpredictable production numbers.

Taiwan's got their Meteor Garden version, then the oh-so-wonderful Japan version with Jun Matsumoto…now it is time for Korea! And SS1's leader Kim Hyun Joong plays the quiet and serene, Hui! Hua Ze Lei! Here's the news… Now who's going to play the Leader? I say Bigbang's Top! Omg that would be so hot and besides he has already acted in a series and some videos, his acting is not so bad. Who will play the lead girl? Now that I don't have much idea…who do you want? Go Ahra? SandaraPark?
^^ Kim Hyun Joong seated right...that is WGM wifey, Hwang Bo with him.
From the show 'We Got Married' the ever popular SS501 member Kim Hyun Joong has been casted for the role, Rui. Boys Over Flower will be broadcasted at the beginning of next year on KBS. Kim Hyun Joong was the first F4 member to be casted.
They were thinking about Kim Hyun Joong as Rui but weren't sure. But after watching 'We Got Married' they felt that he was going to be able to portray the role of Rui well.
The rest of the F4 are almost done being casted. All of them are from idol groups. But the casting of Tsukushi is proving to be very difficult.
We Got Married! Who watches this awesome Korean series? *Raises both hands and feet* I am a mushy Anbi shipper…did I get that right? Andy and Solbi is my kind of ship! Yes people that is Andy Lee (one of my fave Shinhwa members) and Typhoon's Solbi! I should stop ending every sentence with an exclamation mark! Haha! I just love them both to pieces. And episode 13 just broke my heart when Solbi lost the ring from Andy…jeez! I am trying to stop myself from making an Anbi fangirling service site haha! When Solbi hosted MBC Music Core, Andy guested and sang "Propose" to her, gave her a rose wand went down on my knees, thank god I was not in the audience or I would have lost my caboodles and went crazy seeing them so sweet together. So Andy-Solbi fans or We Got Married fans post up something? So you would all die of mushiness reading about Anbi here is my fave news of all…
^^ That is a cute WGM banner of coolsmurf!! With all the WGM couples! I love Andy and Solbi...
^^ Oh I love them! Date her already!
16 May 2008 - On the 17 May broadcast of KBS2's Star Golden Bell, Andy made a surprising confession, "I have a 90% intention of dating Solbi."
Andy and Solbi are currently playing a newlywed couple on MBC's We Got Married, and are enjoying a great deal of popularity among viewers. In response to Solbi's recent confession on Sang Sang Plus that she'd like to date Andy if possible, Andy also made his feelings clear.
Andy said, "Solbi mentioned on the show that she would agree if I were to initiate a relationship. I do have a 90% intention of dating Solbi."
When asked by the MC if he really meant what he said, Andy replied "I'm still very busy now and I don't have much free time. But after I'm done with the activities for the album, the musical and the movie, and if I have time to get to know Solbi better, we can talk about a relationship."
Appearing on the same episode, Saori was asked if she preferred her own We Got Married partner Jung Hyung Don or Andy. She replied with "I hate Don Don", and chose Andy instead.

Rumors say that the next victims will be at NeulparanHigh School. The studious student Kibum (stars Kim Kibum) decides to investigate the matter, blogging all of the terror events on the 14th of each month, causing the event to become a hot topic within the student body.

What I Think:
What better intro scene than this? My 2 fave SuJu members, KiBum and Dong Hae. Haha! Anyway there is not much in this movie save for the fact that it is a Super Junior oogle fest. Storyline is ridiculously simple… a person attacks the most famous heart throb on campus with a piece of shit placed in a yellow plastic bag. Yup you heard that right, attacked by poop. Simply means that if that person throws shit on you, you are one famous figure on campus, aishhh! And at least 3 people want poop thrown at them. I am laughing at myself thinking why I have to watch this joke of a movie, what can I say I am just an ordinary Super Junior fan girl and this movie was formulated for just fans.
The names! What a chore to memorize the SuJu names, thank Buddha the director matched their real names with their characters so it would be easier to figure out even if you don’t know the SuJu members’ names by heart. My friend had to make a list of names and identify the rest of them by elimination process. Hahaha!
Sung min was the first victim and it was funny seeing him become a reporter with lines like “If you remember I was the first boy attacked by poop…” crazy crazy. Basketball-playing Han Kyung was attacked next and man he looks mighty fine playing hoops. I never knew his bod was that chiseled! Si-won had freaking powers of lightning? Bi to suh… Dong Hae in his last scene was just so hot…gosh I love him!
You know what this movie might not be that good but it was not so bad either. I had laughing fits too. The movie did not change my life but I still love my Super Junior. I think you have to watch this movie just so you can discover for yourself who the attacker is. Do you want to know who it was? Do you really, really want to know… The movie is quite short too plus it ended with a dance and song number from SuJu that is more minutes minus from their run time..haha.
HAPPY 2009!!
