Asia's Queen of ballads Fish Leong is bitten by the love bug.

==============================================================================

LOVE is in the air for Fish Leong. Asia’s Queen of love ballads was
happy to share details about her beau, dubbed Mr T by the Chinese media.

They have been together for a year. He is Taiwan-born and studied in
the United States, hence quite Westernised. “We converse in Mandarin
and text each other in English. He can read Chinese but writing can be
quite tricky,” she says.

As the lucky man deals in wines, Leong now shows a new interest. Even
as we speak, she becomes momentarily sidetracked by a bottle with a small
label. “That’s my favourite – VCP. As long as it’s rosette, I’ll like
it. I enjoy champagne – must have it for celebrations – and white wine,”
she muses dreamily.

What will become of her dizzying music career if she settles down? Leong
says that family comes first so she would most likely reduce her workload.

“Singing is something I really enjoy. So, while I may not be as busy then,
I would like to continue exploring music and do some crossovers.”

The 30-year-old Malaysian who is based in Taiwan was in town recently to
promote her upcoming concert and latest album.

Four years after her first concert in Malaysia, Leong will be back to wow
fans next month. Fish Leong Today Is Our Valentine’s Day Live in Malaysia
2009 will be staged at Bukit Jalil on June 13.

Will she have any guest performers for her show? “Since it’s my 10th
anniversary as a singer and my second concert on home ground, I might even
get my mother to join me on stage for a song,” she chuckles.

“I’ll be singing Malaysian compositions as well as my Cantonese song
Yuen Loi Nei Ya Cheung Gor Ngor Dik Gor (You Sang My Songs Before).
I realised that many English-educated Chinese got to know my songs after
listening to that one.”

Fall in Love and Songs is her 10th and latest solo studio album. Released
in January this year, the chart-topping album has sold more than her
previous album j’Adore, which has already sold over one million copies
in Asia.

“This new album is lighter and more relaxed. The tune, Mei You Ru Guo,
(No If) has a bit of rap and rock. I do hope people don’t think my songs
are all sad love songs. So, I invited Gary Chaw to write the adorable PK.”

She is currently in Ipoh for the filming of Malaysian singer Aniu’s
star-studded movie Ice Kacang Puppy Love.

The bubbly lass also has a cameo in SETTV Taiwanese romantic series Bai
Quan Nv Wang or My Queen, which stars Taiwanese heartthrob Ethan
Ruan Jing Tian.

“All the songs from my latest album are featured in the series,” says
Leong with pride. She plays a radio deejay in her small screen debut.

Leong revealed that she has had countless offers to play female leads but
had to turn them down due to her packed schedule. “With concerts, albums
and endorsements all lined up, I needed to remain focused on my music.”

She is probably one of the most decorated Chinese female singers, winning
awards for her vocals, songs and albums in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan,
China and Hong Kong year after year. So much so that in 2006, she was
entered into the Malaysian Book of Records as the Malaysian Chinese singer
who has won the most awards.

No mean feat for a smalltown (Kuala Pilah, Negri Sembilan) girl who
started her career singing covers in a music cafe.

Recently, she was among 12 Malaysian celebrities to volunteer their
support for the inaugural Red Ribbon Celebrity Support Programme 2009/2010
initiated by Malaysia Aids Council (MAC) to change the public’s prejudice
towards people with HIV/Aids, as well as educating them on the disease.

Apart from promotional activities for the council’s new programme, Leong
will be flying to China for an album promo tour next month.

Fall in Love and Songs is available in record stores nationwide. Fish
Leong Today Is Our Valentine’s Day Live in Malaysia 2009 concert, presented
by Intimate, will be staged at Bukit Jalil Putra Indoor Stadium on June 13
at 8pm. Concert tickets are priced at RM278, RM238, RM188, RM158, RM118, RM98
and RM78. For details and ticket reservation, call 03-2282 2020 or visit
