iweekly:
很Man黄义达Yida
访前，心里头就认定他=雌雄同体=男版孙燕姿=矮版郑元畅。
访后，当我企图把他的外形、音乐和谈话拼凑起来时，脑袋竟然是空白一片。嗯，到底发生了什么事？
身高172 公分，体重50公斤，一副标准女模的苗条身材。
他说因为外形和举止的差异，所以别人总无法明确地define他。
"我是很Man的。"他以简短的回应解答了众人眼中的难题。
一个人Man与否基本上和身形无关。他说个子小的，可以很tough，大只佬也可以是娘娘腔的。
他觉得金城武很Man。那是种感觉，解释不来。或许是看见他从一个男孩转变成一个男人的演变过程吧。
"Man是一种抽象的定义，对我来说，有责任感的男人才算是男人。我？我是个很重视责任感的人，无论自己多忙多辛苦，都会把该做的事情交代得清清楚楚。"他回答得很自然。就像军人的职责是捍卫国家，歌手的责任是把歌唱好。一切全属天经地义。理所当然。
"我这个人也有骨气和胆量，例如我敢一个人离乡背井到台湾发展，那种孤独感是挺难受的。"
说时仍然没有丝毫的造作感。
以前，秀气的他常被人误当成女生，在跑步时，他曾听到不少人类似这样的话：哇，这个女生跑得好快hor。
是的。皮肤白皙，一脸秀气的他有太多被误当女生的经历。所以，他在跑步时都会把上衣脱掉以避免不必要的美丽误会。
这样的外形，反让我担心他可曾被恶霸欺负过。
"没有，我反觉得因为我的外形，我得到更多人的疼爱和关照。虽然我的个性比较冷漠和孤僻，但我还算友善，不会让人觉得反感?
即使对朋友，他也不多话。"当他们约我出去时，我通常只会回答: 好。几点,OK，bye bye。那种语气没有兴奋反有点冷漠。"他说就算和好友聊天，他也不会滔滔不绝。
所以当歌手的最初阶段，他感到十分不自在。
"做艺人要说很多话，那种感觉很累……但毕竟做人有舍才会有得，既然我的音乐得到歌迷的认同，为了让他们更了解我，我有义务学会表达自己。"
如今说话是种责任。也没有所谓的习不习惯了。
还是外形惹的祸，他最喜欢的团体竟然是日本视觉系摇滚团体～X Japan。确实无法想像。
"起初觉得他们的造型很炫，后来听到了"Endless Rain"后就喜欢上他们，真的，没想到他们能把歌曲唱得如此温柔，或许这就是所谓的铁汉柔情。"
不爱读书的他在16岁时就进入李伟菘音乐学校（比孙燕姿还早一年），从此决定把未来投靠给音乐。
正如他所说，他读书的成绩不佳（只念到中二），能当上歌手经已心满意足。
"我是个简单的人，我相信命里有时终须有，命里无时莫强求，原本只渴望作曲给别人演唱，如今却成了歌手，这已是个Bonus。我还有什么好要求的？"

Newpaper:
I won't hide when I'm in love
Huang Yida denies secretly dating Sato Mai of Sunday Girls
NO hats, no playing hide- and-seek, no cat-and-mouse chase. When local singer Huang Yida falls in love, he will not play games with the media.

NO hats, no playing hide- and-seek, no cat-and-mouse chase. When local singer Huang Yida falls in love, he will not play games with the media.
Instead, he will hold his girlfriend's hand and walk boldly down the street.
'You have to prove to her that you love her by opening up to everyone that she's your girlfriend - it's only fair,' he told The New Paper last week.
That's because Yida, 27, feels that a woman who chooses to be with him will be under more stress than he is.
'If she can be with me, it means she has accepted Huang Yida. I'm surrounded by female staff in the company and people often say there're many pretty girls in showbusiness, so the pressure on her in choosing to be with me would be even greater.'
Shielding his relationship is also not an option.
He said: 'I will be 40 one day. My music may no longer be around and I may no longer be popular. I will be left with only three words - Huang Yida.
'If you have children and you show them your reports and your photographs are always of yourself in hats, how do you explain to them what's happiness when you didn't even have any happy memories yourself?'
This is why he denied the Taiwanese reports about him seeing Sato Mai from the Japanese girl group Sunday Girls. It would be out of character for him to play hide- and-seek with the media, he said.
Earlier this year, the Taiwanese media reported that Sato was leaving Taiwan showbusiness and returning to Japan to find a marriage partner.
She was purportedly departing with a broken heart after two failed relationships, first with F4 member Ken Chu and then with Yida.
The reports said the two were cohabiting and even portrayed Yida as possessive, controlling and immature.
Perhaps in anticipation of being asked about Sato, he brought up the subject himself during this interview.
He said he had never dated anyone in the entertainment industry.
'I have a rumoured 'girlfriend', Sato. We're good friends. I'm quite low-profile in the scene and don't have many friends.
'To me, we're both from overseas, so we'll keep an eye out for each other (in Taiwan). But I don't know how that turned into a rumour (about us),' he added.
I'M NOT A C-CUP GUY
It is also not the only time that this rocker with the 'bad boy' image has been misunderstood.
Another Taiwanese report had said he likes C-cup women and cited him as claiming that he could get any woman he set his sights on.
The report was picked up by other media, which led to someone leaving a threatening message on Yida's blog.
'The person warned me that 'We will meet when you're back in Singapore' and even said I could submit this to the police if I felt he was threatening me,' he said.
While he is indignant about the inaccurate report, he is also feeling bruised.
He said the Taiwanese reporter was discussing women's curves with him and what clothes would look nice on women, but the report made him appear lecherous and conceited.
He added: 'It inadvertently harmed me because it made others threaten me. It really hurt me and made me very sad.
'I always answer every question (from the media). I don't avoid or get my company staff to block off any questions. Like the rumours about Sato, like whether I want to be in love...
'Everyone's doing a job and I'm happy to cooperate, but those two points were not factual.'
Indeed, Yida comes across as candid and funny, often breaking out in raucous laughter during his friendly rapid-fire responses.
He was nothing like the sullen, angst-ridden star he is often portrayed in his publicity photographs.
'There are no questions I dislike answering, but I don't like people putting words into my mouth.
'Like someone asked if I would take a year's break like Stefanie Sun did. I said I didn't think so because a year is very important to me. I wouldn't waste time.
'That person then deduced that 'Oh you're saying Stefanie Sun is wasting time'. But he said it, I didn't.'
STILL PINING FOR FIRST LOVE
Yida may also seem like a playboy but he is unbelievably devoted.
He is still in love with the same girl, his first love, after nine years.
He had spoken about her when he was promoting his second album, Exclusive Code, two years ago.
He revealed then that she had told him to 'go cross the road and get knocked down by a car' and that he 'woke up after that'.
But Yida, who is still single, says his thoughts are still of her.
'If you ask me if I still love her, yes I do. Recently, I was asked what's the thing I missed most in Singapore and I said it's my ex (girlfriend),' he said.
He also has an explanation for the mean words she had said to him.
'She knows I love her, so she probably said that so I'd forget her. I feel that no person would say such a mean thing. There must be a reason for her to do so.'
They are no longer in touch and Yida says he feels like 'knocking on her door'.
'I haven't done it, but I will do it one day. I will tell her that 'I would rather leave behind disappointments than to regret anything',' he said, repeating this mantra a few more times during the interview.
'At least I come back and try again.
'I've never believed in love at first sight, but it's amazing how someone you do not know can walk past you and you can love her for so long. It cannot be explained.'
For the moment, Yida can only engage in some 'loving banter' with his buddy, Taiwanese singer Alan Kuo.
The two are so chummy, they sometimes call each other 'baby'.
He added that they'd call each other on the phone and ask 'Hey baby, what are you doing?'.
Or when Yida calls Alan and asks 'Hey, where are you?', Alan would reply 'I'm in your heart.'.
But don't get the guys wrong, they're not about to bend that way.
'It's impossible. We both like girls for sure. If I had to choose him (over women), I would rather die! Hey wait, why should I die? I should kill him instead!' he quipped.

Regarding the "STILL PINING FOR FIRST LOVE" section, i was thinking whether that time the supplier told me is true?
Song: 同桌的你
明天你是否会想起
昨天你写的日记
明天你是否还惦记
曾经最爱哭的你
老师们都已想不起
猜不出问题的你
我也是偶然翻相片
才想起同桌的你
谁娶了多愁善感的你
谁看了你的日记
谁把你的长发盘起
谁给你做的嫁衣
