It's a well-known fact that His Royal Diaoness does not smoke nor drink.
But even more importantly, he does not do drugs and has never been known to do so, despite the pressures of his fame and fortune. After all, how many stories have we heard of musicians and rock stars succumbing to the lure of substance abuse, sometimes with deadly consequences?
Admittedly, these seem to be more widespread in Western culture, perhaps because of the easy availability of and more liberal attitude towards these addictions.
Nonetheless, drug abuse is a known problem among teens and youths in many countries and China is no exception.
As such, having a celebrity spokesman to front a campaign against drug abuse and illegal trafficking is a good step; and not just any celebrity.
Jay is hugely popular and is also considered one of the most respected stars by the youth in China.
He is such a logical choice!
Doesn't he look amazing??
He was interviewed and also appeared in a television special for this event.
He also performed two songs, Snail and Fragrance of Rice on the piano.

The news which sparked up my Sunday morning today was that Jay's fashion line, PHANTACi would be available in Singapore soon!
Like FINALLY???
Ric Chiang posted photos of himself at Haji Lane, a street known for independent boutiques and interesting cafes amongst other things
Here is a nice blog post about the other establishments on Haji Lane:

Haha...dare I say that Haji Lane is only going to get even more hip and happening with the opening of Jay Chou's PHANTACi there??
I know several fans who have already popped down there or who intend to pretty soon....including yours truly...lol!
Perhaps it will become the de facto headquarters for all Jay Chou fans in Singapore...??
Keep watching this blog for more updates!
