Hello WL

Hello WL
I just finished conference call with US so I woke up very early thought want to go back to sleep before go off to work but after knowing you won an award I am so excited and now I cannot sleep.

Anyway I just want to share with you yesterday my colleague he is from Pakistan and just worked in Singapore for about 6 months. And we were talking about the blind contestant in American Idol and I mentioned we have one in Singapore. And guess what? He quickly said "Yeah I know his name is Wei Lian right and he is famous in Singapore?"

He did not tell me how he know but is really shows that you are well known without much publicity mainly by the spread of word and internet.

Hope you will get more awards this year ! Jia You!


Cheers

Just want to share this link I found:

And Wei Lian was also listed and if not wrong only Asian with detail intro of him out of the many famous blind people in the world.

Below is what was described.

Wow! Congratulations!!!

This is a great start for year 2009. Hope you bag more overseas awards with your upcoming album.

cheers!

wa, gong hei gong hei la. haha. surprise news to me as didn't expect your song(s) to be played in Indonesia in the 1st place. hmmm, how about more info how your song managed to win the award? hehe.

think Wu Jia Ming lao shi is proud of you ba: from our local NDP song to a sing-along-song that able to reach out to more people on the ground like you and me. hehe.

Your next album can consider places like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam (remember your guest appearance at Vietnam's PSS?) Your music element is simple plus pronounication clear, therefore can reach to these group of Chinese people as Mandarin isn't their first language (but dialects instead) but can still understand a certain degree of Mandarin.

Btw, from your interview I realised you wore the green polo tee...so can I guess when you received the award was the same day you went for Don't Ignore Diabetes recording? lol. jia you ba!

Hi Stella

You also noticed WL's gree polo tee ya! Same one he wore for the coming channel 5 program.

Hi WL
Is that your current favourite tee?

Cheers

I feel extremely happy for you for your achievement of this new award! Told you before right? Steady means steady, bo hao xiao.

Wow really good news and congratulations to Wei Lian! Keep the awards coming keke..... Jia You!

Hi Weilian,

Congra, I am not really surprise cos many of my Chinese Indonesia friends are your silent supporter(fan) They are touch by your voice since the PSS time. Even my husband's Indonesia colleague's son who is only 2 years old enjoy your songs ever since the PSS time. I think he is 5 yrs old now and still enjoying your CDs which I have sent him.

enjoy your award and jia you, smile..

XOXO

恭喜伟联, 恭喜你荣登(Xing Feng Bang Annual Golden Song Award),

i watched the "881"movie again last night.bought VCD.it reminds me of the "old days" that i heard you sang at Bugis Kuan Yin Temple.... @.@

Happened to read a blog that mentioned about your rendition of 'xiao ren wu de xin sheng':

第一次听"小人物的心声"是在去年不经意听到，认真听了之后觉得这首歌蛮好听的，很喜欢。听了第一次便有了第二次，渐渐地恋上了这首歌的旋律和歌词，陈伟联似乎唱出我们这些平凡人的心声，也唱出那些名人隐藏着的无奈与苦涩。
