More Facts on Jeremy's Songs, Being Single and Being a Dentist

(On stage interview with Fei Yu Ching 2003)

TVB Jade Solid Gold Music Gold Award for the Most Popular Mandarin Song with his song: "Do You Know I'm Waiting For you?" (Ni Zhi Dao Wo Zai Deng Ni Ma?)

Jeremy: "I had never been to Hong Kong. One day my record company informed me that my song was nominated for the Most Popular Mandarin Song award. I said at the time, how could this happen to me?"

Types of songs.
Jeremy: "I compose two different types of songs: the popular love songs and my own style of songs, such as "I Am Who I Am” (Lao Zi You Li) and “Don't Hit Me, Confucius” (Kong Zi Bu Yao Da Wo)."

Reading about Li Bai and Confucious.
Jeremy: "I don't read these books anymore. I read them when I was young. I remember very little on the facts. Read the first and last page, but ignore the middle pages...haha"

Response to Fei Yu Ching's question on being lonely.
Jeremy: "In between busy periods when there is nothing to do, I do sometimes ask myself what should I do or should I continue the way I am."

Response to Fei Yu Ching's comment on many performers being single for life.
Jeremy: "This could be a possibility."

Returning back to being a dentist.
Jeremy: "I can usually adjust myself after the first day, similar to driving a car."

Response to Fei Yu Ching's question on unforgettable moments as a dentist.
Jeremy: "In the past, a dentist would work closer to his patient's mouth. Since the outbreak of SARS, every dentist now wears a mask and does not bend down too close to the patient. Nowadays it is very common to have an dental assistant to help handle things, such as holding down the patient."


MY says:
Not sure when this on stage interview was done, whether it was before or after he met his girlfriend from Lithuania.
