Suki explained yesterday that they would normally just say Hi, Say Bye. She also said Happy Birthday to Ron a few days ago. She joked by saying that recenty she likes to drink water. The meaning hinted that Ron Ng was not her cup of tea.

Ron Ng said that he felt Suki was very quiet and they only discussed about the script. When the reporter mentioned that Suki hinted he was not her cup of tea, he replied "We are just working, just for the series." (Is Suki your cup of tea?) "When we are filming yes because we are acting. When we are not filming No. I read a newpaper article that said she already had someone in her life". Earlier he was reported in a relationship that involved 4 people, himself, Toby Leung, Charmaine Sheh and Benny Chan. Ron said he has known Toby for many years and they are very good friends. On his birthday, she presented him with a present and gave him a hug wishing him a Happy Birthday. They did not avoid that situation or find it awkward.

Fung, who plays “Goon ga jai” - the person who takes on everything for the family in “Moonlight Resonance”, and wouldn’t let go. This time, he actually tells others to let go. Everyone rest easy, it’s only the meaning of his new song “Love with no regrets”. Fung said, “If you have loved then you will not have regrets, if you let go you can still be friends.” Wonder if Linda Chung had heard this song? But one minute Fung says to let go, the next minute he couldn’t stop playing. He played with the umbrella props, telephone and even splashed in the water puddles like a little kid. Actually, Fung hadn’t stopped working from noon to 2am, how could he survive without those little games to keep his alertness?

Evidence of Fung’s crazy playing
- Playing with water: Fung is so naughty, he kept on stepping on the puddle which splashed the water onto the MV female lead (Jacqueline), she couldn’t be bother to respond.
- Statue of liberty: Looking like the Statue of liberty, Fung just wanted a better reception for his iPhone 3G, sharing some videos with the crew!
- Showing a quality bottom: Aiya, he originally wanted to help moving the sofa, just like that he accidentally showed his good quality bottom!

(Bottom right caption) You don’t often get to see his “look” when putting on lip balm, isn’t that cute, like a young girl!

“I really want to love someone!”
Last Thursday (28/8) Fung was filming the MV for Love with no regrets. Originally thought it was “Insufficient” love, and then Fung said, “It’s actually regret, meaning if you have loved you would have no regrets. I have quite a lot of feelings for this song.”

Of course at this moment we should ask about his love life, he said, “Actually I want to love someone for a long time, but haven’t found that person yet. (Really noone?) Lots of co-stars while acting. (Are you talking about Linda Chung?) Actually this song was made by the same people who made “Love to search for you in memories”. We’re working together again this time, very happy.”

With these production staff, the quality is assured. Plus it is the subtheme for “Moonlight Resonance”, the public will definitely have greater recognition for it.

“I brought my under(wear)!”
There is a scene in the MV where Fung has to hide inside a crowd of umbrellas. Fung revealed when he was young, he really liked to open all the umbrellas at home and cover himself. And then he would get all the soft toys at home and put them under the umbrellas, saying he needed to protect them. Ah Fung you really are very cute!

Later on, that was not enough. He demonstrated another method to play with the umbrellas, and that is an umbrella dance! Before the director was ready, Fung was carrying an umbrella dancing and singing, splashing water everywhere. Fung, did you forget that your umbrella is wet? Luckily there weren’t other people around. Later he also stepped on the puddles which splashed water onto Jacqueline, just like a little kid, also saying that he is not afraid of getting wet. “Luckily I brought another pair of under!”

Fung did not stop there, wouldn’t stop even with such little time left, using a iPhone 3G to go online, finding some cute videos to share with us. Then suddenly the signal wasn’t so good, so he’s holding it left and right. If you didn’t know you might think he’s filming a mobile phone commercial. From noon to 2am, running around different locations to film the MV and didn’t even “black face”. He often joked with the crew, really have to give him an ironman award!

Secret to working late nights
Everyone must think it’s less stressful to be a singer than an actor. However Fung said, “It’s harder being a singer, because as an actor before filming you have time to rest. But for a singer you need to keep in top shape to sing, if you lose concentration you might go off key.” Actually there’s a time when Fung is tired too, but the reporter realised when he is tired, he will go outside, let out a big scream to wake himself up. If you hear it next time don’t mistake it for something bad!

Recently a magazine has said that when Kevin Cheng was filming for "Burning Flames III" he would often call for a stunts double to replace him and there's a suspicion of him "not willing to do" the scene. Yesterday during filming when the issue was brought up, he did not seem happy: "Originally I did not want to respond, but the Producer told me to so I am doing so, because I have a heart problem and when the temperature gets too high, I get high blood pressure. One time I could not stand it, I had trouble breathing and could not even eat. I hurried and told a stunts double to replace me for the Wild Shot, so that the filming does not get interrupted."

Actually Kevin has always had weak blood pressure for 6 years, his mother also is very worried, she would often tell him if he cannot stand it, say something. Kevin stressed: "I'm not afraid of the work being laborious, the stunts double has only replaced me once, (Unhappy that people are criticing your professionalism?) This is just to discipline your EQ, every wrong you do, there will always be people saying things."

While mentioning about the newcomer award at the end of the year, Linda expressed that she hopes to receive the award. Regarding rumors of TVB only giving newcomer awards to people from their own company such as Raymond who received the newcomer award from TVB last year, Linda said "Raymond is really good in singing, his albums have good sales too. Many people have their opinion of drama artistes becoming singers and think its not possible. Both me and Raymond are serious about our development in the music industry. By working hard, I hope that people will change their opinion on us."

Yesterday when he was filming, reporters caught up with him and he was obviously unhappy about the report. "Originally, I didn't want to comment on this, but since the producer responded, let me clarify. I have cardiovascular health issues. If I am under high temperatures for too long, my blood pressure will be elevated. There was a time when I couldn't bear it. I had trouble breathing and I couldn't eat. This was why I requested a stunt double to film one wide shot. This does not affect the entire filming process."

Kevin has been taking blood pressure medication for 6 years now. His mom is very worried about him. She told him that if he couldn't take it then he must speak out. Kevin expressed "It's not that I am afraid of working too hard. The stunt double only replaced me once. (Are you unhappy that people are claiming that you are unprofessional?) This field tests your EQ, even when you have done nothing wrong, people will still say you did."

Liza Wang was criticized for her performance at the Olympic Gold Medalist Performance show. The netizens have not stopped attacking her on the internet with insults because they felt Liza disrespected the athletes. But Liza's mood had not been affected and even told the netizens to visit her website and find out more about her life and find out what's she like. If they do that then they will know she is not the type of person they think she is. (Note: Liza Wang raised her voice at one of the Olympic Gold Medalist's on the show due to having a slow response from them and telling them to hurry. The show was also over running.)

Liza Wang and Roger Kwok went to Taiwan today as tourism ambassadors. In the 70's Liza had visited Taiwan once, but due to political matters she was banned to visit Taiwan. Until 1998 when she filmed TV series "At the Threshold of an Era" she had the chance to film in Taiwan. She hadn’t been there for the last 10 years. (Asked whether she felt abit nervous about going there?) She smiles “I am not nervous". (What do you want to do there?) "To do a good job".

Many netizens have had a big impact on Liza's performance in the show and have been continuing to attack her by using insulting words and criticism. But this didn't affect Liza's mood. She Thanked Dodo Cheng and Nat Chan for their support and calmly says "There is nothing I can do, they can do what they like. Everyone is just very focused on watching the Olympics. The China athletes are very popular in Hong Kong. If I am cracking a joke its hard to control what others may think. I hope everyone has a fair view on the person and the incident. Why would I not respect the netizens? Perhaps they can visit my website and see what Liza Wang is all about. The more they know about me the more they will understand how I am as a person." (Will you crack less jokes now?) "Perhaps Eric Tsang will be better in cracking jokes, since it sounds more like a joke".

Roger Kwok will use his Vilain role to compete in winning the TV King Award

Also Bosco Wong supported Liza. "You don't have to encourage Liza, it's only a few people that have had problem with it. From what I know the show was running over time and it was a tense situation." Roger Kwok's new series (Last One Standing) will be released soon. This time Roger will play a villain role. It was also reported that Roger will be using this role to compete with Raymond Lam's role in (Moonlight Resonance) for the TV King award.

Myolie Wu, Janice Man, Ella Koon, Vincy Chan and Pinky Cheung attended a hair salon opening yesterday. A day ago, Myolie appeared in a dress that revealed her chest area but yesterday she hid the sexy look and dressed up as Minnie Mouse. Obviously, her outfit was not as attractive compared to Janice Man and Ella’s low cut dresses.

Myolie had worked with Liza Wang twice. As for Liza who played her (Sassy Mother in Law) shouting at one of the China Gold medalist athletes at the performance show, Myolie said. "Perhaps due to the atmosphere at the time and because Liza is used to doing live shows she was quite worried with the running over time."

(Do you think because Liza is a Sassy person?) "No I don’t think so, actually in this incident there is no right or wrong. Everyone has a different opinion and Liza is very tense about many things. It is normal to react when you are worried about the running time of the show. So I hope everyone won’t continue to blame Liza."

(Does Liza often appear with aggressiveness?) "Liza has been in the industry for many years of course she will show some aggressiveness". (Do you think she over does it sometimes?) "Everyone see's it differently, You cannot say whether Liza was wrong or that the netizens were wrong".

Originally Liza was supposed to be one of the guests for the evening but although her management said she promised to attend, she didn’t appear.

Bosco was teased by Liza for not getting married. He told a joke about him getting married. Even Roger Kwok thought it was true, he even sent his best wishes. Bosco said it was only a joke but when he does get married he would definitely invite Liza and he would pour her a cup of tea. Asked if his other half is the rumored girl friend Myolie, Bosco said he doesn't know what is going to happen in the future but he will still pour Liza a cup of tea. Bosco reckoned the traditional chinese wedding is very boring, he would much rather have a beach party. He would make sure it won't be in the summer when the sun is at the hottest, neither does he want to wear layers and layers of clothes for the wedding in winter.

Speaking about the incident at the Olympic Elite show, reporters asked if Bosco had comforted Liza. Bosco replied "There is no need to comfort her, only a minority of internet users made the complaints. Liza has been in the entertainment circle for such a long time, she is a professional. She knows exactly what she is doing. She respects this job she wouldn't make life difficult for people. Maybe at that moment there were problems and the time was overrun too. Therefore she had to act. I hope people will remember the success of the Olympics rather than picking on individual people."

Lisa S, Margaret Chung and Candy Law attended the promotion activity for brand new product of "Aromatherapy Distillations" by Crabtree & Evelyn yesterday. Recently there has been rumor that Daniel Ng may become the CEO for Jackie Chan's cineFinace Conultants Group International Limited.

Daniel's girl friend Lisa S said she hasn't heard anything. "Daniel has the skills to organise. He is a very good administrator too. He would be the most handsome CEO. On the other hand, I was in such a a mess when I worked as a volunteer in the Olympic Horse show. Daniel still loves his acting. I think he will be doing both, hopefully earn more money to retire early."

Karena Lam once again challenged her sexiness and suddenly went one step further. She has rarely appeared in sexy clothing in public events but instead she sacrificed for Art. She didn’t wear any upper garments and only used her long hair to cover her chest. She posed half naked for a photography exhibition art work. The main theme was to demonstrate the feeling of a girl and flowers. It was beyond one’s depth to truly understand the theme and the purpose behind it, although the result of the photos seemed to make people think she had exposed herself. But Karena’s management stressed that she had done all safety precautions beforehand. They also claimed that as long as future movie's has a new challenge, Karena will accept in performing with more sexiness.
