Jay Chou and friends in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!

Social media has been abuzz with celebrities taking part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge for a while and although it originated from the USA golf circuit as a way to raise awareness and funds for ALS research, the word has spread to Taiwan and Hongkong with vids and nominations showing up literally all over youtube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

Here's how it all started:

I first noticed this on my Facebook when I saw a post by JJ Lin but did not pay much attention to it. However, there were soon many other posts by our local deejays and other stars and it was no surprise when I soon came across one featuring His Royal Diaoness, who had been nominated by none other than Andy Lau. :)

Here is Mr Lau's vid (gotta say he looks really fit!), and he nominates Lang Lang, Jay and another guy:

Here is Jay's response....which is really funny, especially when he looks at Danni sheepishly after being drenched prematurely and says: "I have not finished speaking yet!"
I guess Danni just could not wait to pour that bucket of ice water over her boss.
Either that or she was thrilled that he nominated Mayday!
And of course, Jay made sure to mention in the vid that he would donate to this cause. :)

Without further ado, the responses came from Vincent and three members of Mayday:

Vincent...who nominates Giddens Ko, Alan Kuo and Darren!
Can't wait to see those, especially Alan and Darren. :)
