After her promo duties for her 3rd album, JUST SING IT(2002), she drops everything off and took her new fond interest/hobby to Africa. During her trip she went many places which I couldn't recall where she gone, but just knew that she broughts some cultural elements and experience into her 4th album, NO PENN NO GAIN(2003).
NO PENN NO GAIN is an album which proves her determination to push her writing ability and her performance further. Once again, she took up the writings credtis and as well further more responsiblity in producing it.
This album spurs out a couple favourite tracks like WATER DRIFTER水中央，and FORGIVEN ALL什麼都捨得(Pain & Gain Versions) and the rests are much more alternative, edgier than her previous works. It's rare at that time in Mandapop market. This is the moment when she crowned the 4 princess of Music Mandapop alongside with Elva Hsiao, Yan Zi,and Jolin Tsai. Later in the years she is replaced by Fish Leong.
Since Penny's debut, her gossip column is rare. Mostly revolving her works, which makes her a distinctive in a way. The public eye does pours in a huge interest when she is romantic link which Jackie Chan's son, Jaycee. However, she manage to put off beautifully by reverting the spotlights by answering her frustration in her songs.
I would consider this album is rather less commercial and its impact is not as big as previous, however, it won bigger critics appraisal. I would say its more personal to the artist herself.

The Pain Version is my favour ones, and it placed as a hidden track. This had becomes the first track that makes her cry when she repeatedly singing it.
