A Transfomers lookalike TV commercial by Taiwan’s Recruitment Center of National Armed Force. Thought that it was a prank at first glance, but it’s real, and the video could be found from its official website [Cn]…
I think the recruitment would fare better if they feature Megan Fox instead lol.

Lee Hyori & Wilber Pan – As Long As I Love You
K-pop diva Lee Hyori singing in Chinese for Hyundai i30 commercial, featuring Taiwanese star Wilber Pan. The MV style seriously reminds me of the Anycall commercials; same production team perhaps. Weird accent, but decent song…
Chinese song by Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao; Japanese song by SMAP; and Korean songs by Drunken Tiger and Tiara.
Jam Hsiao – Princess
“Princess” (王妃; prince’s wife to be precise) by Jam Hsiao from his same-title album, released in July 2009. Not a bad song, love his voice as always…
Chinese songs by Taiwanese singer Lala Hsu and Hong Kong singer Kay Tse; Korean songs by G-Dragon and Baek Ji-young (ft. Taecyeon).
Lala Hsu – Riding a White Horse
“Riding a White Horse” (身骑白马) by singer-songwriter Lala Hsu, from her debut album released in May 2009; a mix of pop music with traditional folk song…
Taiwan suffered their worst flood in 50 years after being struck by Typhoon Morakot last week; at least 65 are confirmed dead, with hundreds still missing.
Kaohsiung County was the worst hit area; a deadly mudslide buried Hsiaolin village and nearby neighbourhood, with over 600 villagers feared dead.
Philippines and China were also affected by the typhoon; while Japan hit by tropical storm Etau at the same period. Death toll includes 23 in the Philippines, 13 in Japan and six in China [according to Guardian]
Morakot hit Taiwan late night on August 7 and caused 14+ hours of havoc before leaving for China; but heavy rain continued to pour, which caused massive flood (and landslide, mudflow etc.) particularly in southern Taiwan.
Taiwanese are no strangers to typhoon; but rescue effort appeared to be short-handed because of the unexpected scale of devastation. Hope that more survivors could be rescued, God bless.
