JJ is really an inspiration. His take in life is always bring it to the fullest. When he fell in love with car racing, he got a license to be a professional car racer. When he fell in love with coffee, he created Miracle Coffee, Blooms and Tunes, introducing the beauty of coffee to his fans all over the world. Don't even get me started on his music, when he first started his career, he was just a young 22 yo Singaporean not knowing what to expect, all he could do was to do his best, and today, he is one of the biggest name in his industry. Truly our Singapore Pride!

And one of the few 2 break away from domestic entertainment 2 success

[@misssasa829]

@@szewei85 actually we've had a few artists who broke away domestically and became popular overseas, but it's safe to say no one ever reached JJ Lin's height of success. Really one in a million and honestly I don't see anyone surpassing him in the near (or far) future. Kudos to him!

Best DJ ever is Jean Danker. Her vibes, accent, the way she presents herself is world-class and interviewing a world-class singer.

[@szewei85]

JD will always be the OG of radio. Even new bloods like 987 Ann-Nicole Maya Baby G still look up 2 her always. As fan of 99 era 987, i regard her as Auntie Jean. Hahahaha.

非常感謝大家的肯定與支持，我會繼續cover和創作更多好聽的歌的~~!! :) 然後我看到有些朋友想知道彈奏的指法，但真的要說聲抱歉，因為我沒有很正規的學過，所以我也不太知道自己用的是什麼指法喔，我只是很隨意的順著感覺去彈，前面用勾弦，副歌用掃的這樣。

Thks covid19 JJ you finally realised what’s life is 👏👏👏👏👏you are short of financial even without your singing career , compose song , you can learn business nothing is can’t if you don’t give yourself chances to learn get into it 😉is time you rethink since boarders opening is a restriction, pls keep in mind what your parents wants from you , they give you freedom for so many years and they are getting older from time to time , should you carefully think what is the most important moments you can give back to them , since covid19 many people lost their close ones in just a moments for anyone maybe one day we will come across such misery, is best you do the right thing before regretting 🙏consider think carefully deep into your heart as you are less busy even without busy moving around the world your life still moves on but your closest families may not they may need to see you more but because of your freedom in your career music they may not dare to signal to you, know you love them most but hope no regrets when is too late you can slow down your steps but you cannot slow them from getting old hope with this restriction you can think about your next step ahead, deep inside are you really enjoying your life from home after these busy years away 💪💪💪💪💪
