go backwards .. haha answer everywhere..

 

Anonymous Anonymous | 01 October, 2008 00:33

Just my personal opinion: Is this method the most fair way?
Actually, I personally feel that: the fairest way is; to gather all those that are interested at a venue and do an instant lucky draw.
Wondering anyone agree with my suggestion.

 

Anonymous Anonymous | 01 October, 2008 00:36

WOHOOO!
exciting!! lol

Anonymous Anonymous | 01 October, 2008 13:52

congrats to the number 10 position!

But till now...how come didn't see any advertisement regarding the album?

believe the adv will propel the album sales even further...

 

Anonymous Anonymous | 01 October, 2008 13:55

just want to say sth. lucky draw is good in the sense that it gives everyone who's interested, equal chances to get picked. but it may be hard to execute cause those who are interested may not be able to make it for the lucky draw date? hmm.

anyway, since it is alr set as this quiz format, then just try ba! it's also more fang bian as it is just through email and ppl dont have to physically be there to gather. hmm new mlbians, good luck! really. haha.

Dear ics,
when and how would you all release the results as to who won the tickets?

 

Anonymous Anonymous | 02 October, 2008 11:40

hmmph.. no pt askin e boys why no publicity for this album (no tv spots, no giant posters @ cd shops, no magazine cover shoot, only 2 autograph events etc.) It's obviously their job when it comes to music,but publicity.hmmmph..warner or mediacorp perhaps.But pertaining to album matters, i think 华纳 as their album 公司 is not doing their job well.Suspect is due to sudden change in staff at warner(rather play music).Tat's why so many errors so far(even launch date,announce on radio & then made changes again).Maybe we should be writing in to them.

 

Anonymous Anonymous | 02 October, 2008 13:13

hahaha. milubing jia you!!

gaaah didn't realized weiqi was here. hello!

u know something? The more I listen to "lu", the more "feeling" i can feel le...duno how to describe. Just...can "Feel" jiu dui le. haha

my general first impression on this album is, technique-wise standard maintains. But, can hear "more feelings" liao. aha! it did touch my heart! yeah~

sleepy thursday. later got test. tahan one more day then TOMORROW NO SCHOOL! but next two days i working full day sia...haha.

I think we can wait patiently in seeing their new album being advertise on TV ba? haha. while waiting patiently, lets continue to enjoy their great music ba =).

back to my ppt le. bb =(

hi Warner IC, if u r passing by.. we want to see some publicity...

a little comment on d album, i wld prefer d 1st album's presentation than tis. d songs r great, but i find d display & d booklet a bit too plain. i was hopeful for a better one, so was a little disappointed.

nevertheless, jia you! awaiting for your future albums! more great music ahead!

Anonymous Anonymous | 03 October, 2008 01:42

it's a pity for an album without strong publicity...plus we have xiao han doing some compositions, that can also be hightlighted as well.

Then there's MV waiting to be shown...By the way, this time how many songs are flimed for MVs?

*The songs this time round are more solid/mature but less commercialised feel (more melacholic and english blues feel). Was expecting more songs though, 'lu' and 'wo she bu' should be bonus tracks instead.
