Singer Coco Lee will be getting married in Hong Kong this coming Thursday (Oct 27).
Not only is she busy with the preparations of her lavish wedding, Coco had even took the time to compose her own wedding march 'I just wanna marry you' and the song was recently leaked to the public.
It is said that Coco personally penned the lyrics to this song, which describes her feelings for her Canadian fiancé Bruce.
The self-composed song was meant to be a surprise gift to Bruce and Coco's happiness was evident from the line, "one love, one dream, one simple song about you & me (sic)".
The song was initially written in English; however, the singer's friends and family later felt that the song should be distributed to the media, so that other couples could also experience the same bliss and happiness in the song. The bilingual artiste heeded the advice of others and decided to pen the Chinese lyrics herself.
"The entire production process went on smoothly. Maybe because the wedding day is drawing near, so I feel that there is not enough time. Luckily, [everything] is completed and I'm satisfied [with the song]," said Coco.
The singer will also make a special music video for the song, after her wedding and a short break. This will be her first job after her marriage and the music video will not only include snippets of the couple's happy moments, but will also have photos provided by netizens.
When asked if she will continue to work after marriage, Coco emphasised that she "will" continue working because she is passionate about whatever she is doing now.

News : Golden Bell Awards
Taiwanese singer-actor Wilber Pan's Best Actor win at the Golden Bell Awards last week, surprised many. This led to much negativity from the public, including criticisms like "the judges were blind" and "on what grounds [did he win]".
However, Wilber took it in his stride and remained optimistic, causing friends to call him "the male version of Lin Chi-ling" because of his high EQ.
During an interview on Oct 23, Wilber spoke of the criticisms thrown towards him. The actor let on that during filming, he could not cry due to the lack of experience. Then, the director chided him, saying that he could only be an idol.
"I'm not afraid of being chided or tormented. This is a good thing; they motivate me towards my goal," he expressed.
Wilber added optimistically, "Those who criticised me probably never had the chance to watch Endless Love. Maybe this [win] will encourage them to watch how bad I acted in it. Maybe after they finished watching it, they'd think 'It wasn't that bad'. It's a gain for me if people watch my dramas."
In Endless Love, Wilber played a young man, who is looked down upon because of his humble origins. His character bore many similarities to his road to stardom.
"From the time I entered showbiz, I've been verbally put down. When I was a VJ, the director told me off. During Happy Campus, I was yelled at because I didn't know how to position myself. When I released my first album, people laughed and asked, 'Is the record label crazy?' During a screening for Happy Campus, reporters even asked, 'Why am I even here?' It's painful to hear that, but I've accepted it," the actor said.
Happy Campus producer Ke Yiqin, who had watched Wilber's performances over the years, came to the actor's defense, "His performance in Endless Love was natural and in character. Maybe the drama didn't stand out enough, causing many to question his acting. This doesn't mean he's not good."
Wilber had returned to Taiwan from China, and would be throwing a party to celebrate his win. The celebration is said to cost NT$200,000 (S$8,400). In addition, he will also be treating the production crew to a karaoke session.

News : YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE
Taiwan hit film YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE since its Thursday Hong Kong opening has been on a roll. In the past weekend it continued to sell out every show. In the afternoon and evening peaks some cinemas even added screens last minute and sold out every one immediately. The film not only has topped the box office daily but also broken the Hong Kong record.
According to the Motion Picture Industry Association information, YOU in its first four days including advanced screenings already accumulated HK$11,525,621, the number broke many Hong Kong box office
records including the October first opening weekend highest box office, a record that INFERNAL AFFAIRS 2 (MO GAN DOH 2) created in 2003 and maintained for eight years; it also became the highest grossing opening weekend for a Taiwan film in Hong Kong, surpassing LUST, CAUTION; the most viewers in first four days of release in Hong Kong in 2011 with 211,163 people, surpassing 3D SEX AND ZEN: EXTREME ECSTASY; 2011 first four day 2D film total box office. The situation in Macau was even more incredible, Saturday and Sunday its City Hall cinema single screen box office already reached 100,000 as the admission rate was near 100%. The line even extended past the street. Viewers had to wait over a hour to be able to buy a ticket. No wonder some fans posted on facebook, "It was even more ridiculous than going on Disneyland rides".
Currently at the 24th Tokyo International Film Festival, director Giddens Ko and leads Ko Chen-Tung and Michelle Chen heard the Hong Kong box office success and could not be more moved. Giddens Ko even expressed his exceptional excitement online. "Hong Kong and Macau scared me! I am online everyday in Tokyo and see the long lines outside cinemas everywhere. Taiwan's YOU fever seems to have reappear elsewhere, I am truly a little flattered. I must, must fly to Hong Kong again to thank everyone. You truly are very loyal!"
In addition, they attended a forum after the Tokyo Film Festival screening. Many Japanese viewers called Michelle Chen "kawaii" (cute). Michelle Chen even revealed that her next film will start production at
the end of the year but the details had to be kept confidential for now. She also said that she would like to try characters that she has not played before, like characters with personality split or character flaws.
She hoped to show everyone a different her. Speaking of Ko Chen-Tung's nude scene, Giddens Ko said that at home he would be dressed, but Ko Chen-Tung insisted on performing in the buff. Ko Chen-Tung explained, "Because I wanted to have a break through in my first film with nude scene, kiss scene and rain scene, I asked the director. This way the visuals would be more interesting." Giddens Ko joked that Japanese viewers accepted his film for two reasons: people of different cultures would laugh when they saw Ko Chen-Tung's rear but his rear "crossed all borders"; the second was true love had no border, as he shot the entire world's pursuit of love.
