| Jimmy was suppose to board his flight to LA this morning but due to the terrorist attack on the WTC towers and the Pentagon, his trip was immediately cancelled. For the whole of yesterday, he had been trying to contact Jennifer Anne Bishop from the White House Anti-Drug Organisation, but in vain. He was filled with worry for the cancellat- on of his trip to US and hoping for the safety of Miss Bishop. Eastwest Bank had also contacted Jimmy yesterday. Other than cancelling the plans, Eastwest Bank CEO added that taking into consideration of the safety of the flights, the scheduled activities will all be cancelled. Also, the event of the bowling contest will change into a blood donation event to aid in the lack of blood at this point of time.

| Flood Caused Jimmy To Suffer Great Losses |
| It is heavily flooded in Taipei and sin- ce the whole of sunday night, Jim- my has been trying to save his cars and the computers and safe in his office. He has esti- mated to suffer a loss of up to millio- ns of dollars(NT). Jimmy was supp- ose to leave for China 2 days ago but there was so- me problems with the air ticket and his flight was de- layed but unexpe- ctedly, Taiwan met up with the typho- on caused by the Nari tropical storm. On Sunday after- noon, he and his brother drove his four cars from the garage to their home. After settl- ing this, they real- ised the typhoon getting stronger and around 3am that night, they we- |
| nt to Jimmy Cre- ative in Chung Hsiao E Road and found the office already fl- ooded. While they were frantically saving the computers, several times, Ji- mmy got in con- tact with the live electricity and the situation was da- ngerous. As the typhoon was too strong, finally, Ji- mmy and his workers just gra- bbed the safe and other valua- able items and immediately eva- cuated the place. While he was driving towards home, Taipei city is already a water land. If not for his good driving ski- lls, the consequ- ence would be worse than any- thing imaginable. (18/9/2001) |

| Jimmy's Office Totally Flooded |
| The Nari Typoon had cause all of Jimmy's hardwork going do- wn the drain! In his office situated in C- hung Hsiao E Road, ten over computers, office equipments, his albums' master tapes, all the fan club datas, T-shirts, etc, are all ruined by the muddy water, suffer- ing a loss of more than millions of doll- ars. Moreover, his |
| home in Da Zhi al- so suffered fro- m the flood causing the electricity and w- ater supply to be cut, so he's not staying there at the moment. Yesterday afternoon, Jimmy rolled up his pants and joined his workers and fans in the cleaning of his office after the flood subsided. There was no electricity or water which hindered their |
| cleaning process and it was really disheart- ening to see the ru- ined items being cl- eared into trash bags. Jimmy must have been worrying about his office that he was- n't able to sleep w- ell and his face wa- sn't even shaven. When he saw the water reaching the height of a person, Jimmy can't help sha- king his head, saying, "It's really terrible. The computers dam- aged by the flood, it's still alright but I'm most concern about the master tapes of |
| past albums, collec- tions of CDs, LDs and datas of the fan club which cannot be use anymore. Leaving behind only my past racing thr- ophies which can be kept after some washing." Jimmy's 4 cars are safe from the flood and he had asked for a few days leave from the filmings of his drama. He will be leaving for work in China on Friday. (20/9/2001) |

| Big and Little Jimmy Lin have met! |
| their personality in the drama is also very diff- erent. Lai Shui Qing said, "Tae is like a character in a comic and Jimmy al- ready has the airs of a big brother." Jimmy felt that Tae and him is most alike in their expression. In and out of filming, Jimmy being old- er always gives in to Tae, not only taking good care of him but also shares with him his experiences while Tae is very respec- tful of this senior, putting Jimmy before him. When snacks and meals are being distributed, Tae would get them for Jim- my. Both of them get along very well and when th- ey're free, they would surf the internet or enjoy themselves on the 'Dan- ce Dance Revolution' game on Jimmy's play- station to kill time. Pe- ople can't help feeling like they're brothers. Jim- my told Tae, "I can teach |
| you car racing and if there's an opportunity, we can compete a- nd everyone may not be able to tell which is which." So as to protray his role well, Tae has been trying to improve his Mandarin, thou- gh he can speak fluently and trys to learn from Ya- ng Zhe Zhong who speaks with strong Beijing a- ccent and Jimmy even said joking- |
| Because of the block- buster drama of the year 'JSSJ", Jimmy and Tae from Thailand put on th- eir drama costumes. Wi- thout much fuss in dre- ssing, both of them look like a copy of each other, maybe, even more iden- tical than a real pair of twins. Being both their manag- er, Xia Yu Shun couldn't get used to seeing the both of them as 'siblings' and said, "After changing into their period costu- mes, from head to toe, especially the way they smile is exactly the sa- me. It is like the two of th- em have joined to be- come one. Feels like one son is missing and I'm not used to it." For easy differentiation, director, Lai Shui Qing asked for Jimmy's cost- ume to be design like a Japanese loner while Tae's is like that of a comic hero. Not only is their costume different, |
| ly to Tae, "Don't need to speak that well la." Jimmy had vow- ed never to step into Heng Dian again because when he was filming for Jue Dai Shuang Jiao, he would be at war with the mo- squitoes every- day. But this time with such a str- ong cast and a good director, Jimmy decided to break his vow. (28/9/2001) |
