- They are presently working on two albums at the same time, both the
mandarin

at a Singaporean eatery ( Palm Beach at KALLANG ) when my friend spotted
them .. They noticed that Remus went down to the carpark with another guy &
they found him smoking there ( cause Smoking not allowed in most Singapore
eatery.I have actually seen the photo ( My friend enlarged it to 8X !! ) SO ...
Gayle(GH Mailing List) said:
oh dear....so the smoking thing is for real huh? and remus is supposed to
have the best vocals of the three.
won't the smoking affect it? thought he should know better.
anyway, the smoking thing aside, i just saw a newspaper report confirming
GH's jump to Rocks.
so no need to speculate anymore i guess.
hope this change is for the better.
Mabel(GH Mailing List) said:
What do you mean?? jumps to Rocks?? when was this article?? Under which
newpaper??
Many people smokes and still can live up to a long age. Smoking isn't a
shocking event .... (no offence to non-smokers), the only thing about
smoking is that you might develop bad breath and teeth turning yellow if you
are a long-term smoker...(oh god!) that is gross... so non-smokers, please
stay away from cigrettes, cause' they will turn you into a toothless person
in the end...hahah.. just joking!! Anyway.. this is a piece of interesting
news?!
should we consider this as "caught in the act"?! instead??
Gayle(GH Mailing List) said:
Ok, i saw it in last night's Lian He Wan Bao. just a small article that
says that although the offical signing ceremony hasn't taken place yet,
it's confirmed that they are joining Rock Records.
so unless the newspaper got the wrong info, this should be for real this
time, since they have pple in Rock records saying this and that in the
article. among the things the Rock spokesman said was that they would give
GH a lot of freedom, allowing them to produce their own album entirely,
and will help them mature in their style, songs and image.
the person said that GH will no longer be 'hopping' around so much.
but i sure hope that's not absolute. i like the dance image GH has
cultivated over the years, and even if they turn mellow, i hope it's not
a 360 degrees change. GH should still retain some of their liveliness and
active image.
it's their trademark afterall.
but the most important thing is the serious, really long term effects.
and being singers, whereby the voice should be top priority, why risk it?
the effects may not show right now, but who knows, ten years down the
road, the effects may show....coughing, shortness of breath...how to sing?
i think whether singers or not, if anyone quits smoking or is considering
it, you should do it for yourself above any other reason. it shows how
much self-worth you have i think. if a singer retires 10 years later and
the effects of smoking doesn't show till 20, 30 years later, i guess the
fans wouldn't mind or be too concerned. but being the singer, if he or
she loves himself or herself enough, he or she should start to take care
of their health all through their lives.
the fans may not see them in their old age, but they still have to live
with themselves when they are 70, 80.
life doesn't end at 50 or 60 when they retire, why make the following
golden years hard for themselves?
ok, hope i've not offended anyone out there. i'm definitely anti-smoking
but i'm NOT anti-smokers. i just hope more people would kick the habit by
and by, whether singers or not, and fewer people would get addicted in
the years to come.
