(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.

Some Facts on Jeremy's Songs
(On stage interview with Fei Yu Ching 2003)
Song: "Do You Know I'm Waiting For you?" (Ni Zhi Dao Wo Zai Deng Ni Ma?)
Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Jeremy Chang
Jeremy: "This song came about during a typhoon. I didn't know what was going on up there but down here I was waiting for someone."
Song: "Beautiful Flower Butterfly" (Mei Li De Hua Hu Die)
Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Jeremy Chang / Arranger: Jeremy Chang
Jeremy: "I've always liked butterflies. The biggest difference between humans and butterflies is that humans will grow old and die, whereas butterflies will become more beautiful as they mature and will die when they are most beautiful."
Song: "What Can I Take From You" (Wo Neng Dai Zou Ni De Shen Me)
Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Wu Bai
Jeremy: "Most people will think that this song was created by the beauty and the beast, with me being the feminine one and Wu Bai being the masculine one. In reality, Wu Bai can be very soft hearted in the lyrics he writes."
Song: "Hiroshima Love" (Guang Dao Zhi Lian)
Composer: Jeremy Chang / Lyrics: Jeremy Chang / Arranger: Tu Ying
Jeremy: "It is very difficult to arrange for both Karen Mok and I be together on stage, therefore each time I perform this song, I have to find someone to take Karen's place. It becomes a game sometimes. I've even requested fans to come on stage to sing with me. It is very interesting to learned that there are many different voices."
MY says:
Every Jeremy song must have a story to it. The majority of the songs he wrote for other singers often are put into their first or second album. He jokingly said, "Now that they are famous, they won't need me anymore." He said that he doesn't purposely keep good songs for himself, every new song he writes is from scratch.
Did you know that Jeremy wrote two songs for Aaron Kwok in his earlier career: "Could It Be That You Still Do Not Know" (Nan Dao Ni Xian Zai Hai Bu Zhi Dao) and "My Heart is Still Beating" (Xin Xian Zai Hai Zai Tiao)?

Who is Jeremy's other half (Part II)?
(News taken from February 2004)
One evening, during the month of February 2004, Jeremy and a cute blond short hair girl were seen eating at Taipei's well-known Thai Food House.
Jeremy encountered his first love at the age of 28.
MY says:
I still can't find her name. Could it be Julia (Juliya, Yulia) Kovaliova? The one that attended Townson University of Athletics? The gymnast who represented Lithuania on the bars in Sydney, Australia in 2000?

Jeremy Chang as a Dentist
(News taken from April 2004)
Because of his father's wishes, Jeremy gave up his most loved singing career and went back to work as a dentist. But he was never able to let go of singing and after convincing his family, it was agreed upon that he would have to work at the clinic at least one day per week during his record promotion period.
The record company took advantage of this by offering buyers a chance to win a 10k diamond that was worth $10,000 with the purchase of his new album. Only 10 albums contained the diamond and Jeremy would be the one packaging the diamonds in the albums. The lucky winners will have the option of having the diamond embedded onto their teeth by Jeremy himself. Jeremy thought at one time, that it would be neat to have his autograph engraved on his patients' teeth, so his patients would remember him forever.
During one interview, the host who knew him quite well, jokingly said that Jeremy's monthly income working as a dentist was only a mere $10,000!
As a dentist, Jeremy sometimes uses psychology to help his patients. He once said to one of his patients, "If pulling your tooth hurts, then I will quit my singing career!" It's easy to convince his patients to relax but he is just as reluctant to sit at the dentist chair. "Most people will think of the needle as a thorn, but to us dentists, we will think of whether the needle will enter into the muscles, bones or nerves. With this in mind, we get just as nervous."
After several years as a dentist, he has gotten used to the routine and no longer thinks about the past. "I will not only work as a dentist, singing is still my interest, therefore I will become a 'dentist singer'. I hope my patients will become my fans and my fans will also become my patients."
MY says:
Why does Jeremy keep on saying that he pulls teeth? Don't dentists in Taiwan replace cavities with fillings instead of just pulling teeth? Hahaha...signing his name on his patient's teeth???!!! Crazy guy, I tell you but he's got a good sense of humor though. :)

Jeremy Chang Negative News with Karena Lam
(News taken from December 2004)
Jeremy showed his fustration regarding the negative news between him and Karena Lam. Apparently, Karena had told the media that because Jeremy failed to pursue her, he froze her from any career advancement for 7 years. "She's not telling the truth. She has not only harmed me, but she has harmed the people who have helped her. If it wasn't for us, where would she be now? She should at least have the heart to tell the truth. I've been in the industry for 18 years. As long as I have done nothing wrong, I have nothing to fear about."
MY says:
Once again, voicing yourself in public will help clarify misunderstanding.
