Lee Chee Hun and friends pull together in times of trouble
Friends are important in everyone¡¯s life. To Daniel, there should be mutual understanding and mutual respect among friends. When one faces problems, the others will go all out to help. Friends will go through thick and thin together. Daniel feels that he is very lucky to have a group of bosom friends. They do not often meet nor gather to chat, but when someone is in low spirits, the others will contact and help by talking about their frames of mind.Many people say that it is very difficult to have true friends in the entertainment circles. But I feel that it is possible to meet a bosom friend in any fields. Hence, though I am an artiste now, I still make friends in the way I used to be, i.e. with a [ping chang xin]calm heart. My life has not changed much or maybe I am a bit slow in realizing whether there are people who try to get closer to me or stay away from me.
I have a group of friends that also love music and they hope to develop themselves in the music circle. When I won <MI>, I thought that they might be jealous of me, but instead they are happy for me. They said that my victory meant that I could venture into the music circle along with their dreams, and they hoped that I could accomplish my and their dreams.
A bad mouthI don¡¯t think I am a cold person but to make friends does depend on [yuan]. Some friends have to be met a lot of times before I get familiar with them; there are some that at the first meeting I can chat with them for a long time.
My friends comment that I am straightforward or I have a bad mouth. Hence sometimes I offend people. My friends will know that I do not actually mean what I say; therefore there will not be any unpleasant occurrences among us.
When I first stepped into the showbiz scene, I faced lots of pressure. It was tough but I felt happy because many of my friends called to comfort and encourage me. I felt better. Though we were just chit-chatting, the feeling was like [xue zhong song tan] (provide timely help). I truly think that among friends, a word of encouragement and comfort is sufficient, there need not be any great things done.
Cracking sarcastic jokes.My female friends are more than male friends, possible there are more female staff and friends in the music circle. My male friends are mostly artistes or friends who make music. I do not think there are any big differences between male or female friends, as long as we can go along comfortably.
During gathering with my friends, we chat about anything. I feel that only then can we be called friends. Maybe all of us are under work pressure; hence we love to crack sarcastic jokes. I truly wish that friends should not be calculative; it does not matter how good a friend treats you, the most important aspect is to treat one another wholeheartedly and sincerely.
