Yesterday Joey Yung and many other singers were recording for Macau's "Jade Singers Celebrate TVB Anniversary". Although Joey is sick and had a runny nose, but it did not affect her stage performances. Her performance even seem effortless.

Joey, Leo Ku and a bunch of EEG singers all came together in Macau along with Eason Chan, Kay Tse, Bosco Wong and many other singers for the Singers Anniversary show recording. Joey expressed that she arrived in Macau the night before and because the air conditioning at the hotel was too cold, her nose was constantly running. She laughed: "Just now I saw Bosco wearing a mask, I already remembered the exact microphone he used, I will try my best not to touch it."

For the show, Joey will be preforming Hacken Lee's song with Eason Chan. Have already memorized the lyrics way before, she still worried that Eason might make her mess up on her singing. She will also be performing with Miriam Yeung of each other popular hit songs. She said: "I often sing Miriam's songs, I know them all. (How do you feel about Nic becoming a father again?) I saw him earlier and saw that he gained some weight. Maybe he's been eating well with pregnant Cecilia that he's gotten chubbier. He looks handsomer like this."

Dodo calls Joey useless

On stage, the MC Dodo (Carol) Cheng brought up many rumored couples, then she suddenly pointed to Joey: "You are the most useless one, the only few rumors you have are 'C Kwan' and 'Tong Lo Ap'!" FAMA's C-Kwan bounced out and said: "Are you talking about me?", which made everyone laugh.

Eason was asked if he's going to be like Nic and become a father again? He said: "I don't know!" Eason and Kay are currently rumored together, but backstage Eason and his "love enemy" were very chatty with one another.

Anita Yuen recently got new gossips surrounding her, it was said that she's "nailing" Charmaine Sheh who had once been rumored with her husband Chilam Cheung. It was rumored that Anita refuses to have scenes with Charmaine in their new film "House of 72 Tenants" and have also joined the battle for TV Queen. It was also said that she and Jamie Chik are both "troublesome" . When she was filming "Born Rich", she often rushes to get off work. Actually Anita and Charmaine does not have a 'heart illness' against each other. On the day of the "House of 72 Tenants" costume fitting, she helped Charmaine from exposing herself in the photos in front of the Media. Anita also strongly supported Charmaine's frank personality and is not how people describe her as "flirty". But Anita does admit she did rush the cast into the studio for filming during "Born Rich".

Anita first talked about the reports with Charmaine. She said that she doesn't know if Reporters have a dislike towards her or Charmaine, but that day at the costume fitting, during the group picture she did help Charmaine. That day Charmaine wore a really short dress, Anita was worried that she might expose herself during the pictures, therefore Anita used her body to cover for her, but did not say so out loud. She said that if there is an opportunity, she would like to collaborate with Charmaine, she is not "flirty" like how people say she is, her personality is like a tomboy, very quick and frank. That day when they saw each other, they greeted one another, she also joked that Charmaine's costume was a bit exaggerated. Based on both of their personality, they should be able to be friends, if they don't get along then when they were shooting for the film poster, they wouldn't have taken pictures together.

Speaking of the fight for TV Queen, she said initially she has never thought about that topic, but now the topic has attracted her competing heart, she wants a taste of winning the TV Queen award. She smiled: "I see everyone's competing so fiercely, I also have an interest in getting the award. Since people are suggesting me, why should I not compete for the award?" However, she's telling everyone in advance to avoid further gossips that she will be absent from the TVB award ceremony due to her schedule, but she still has confidence for an award: "Maybe if I don't go I can be the TV Queen!"

Admits to have rushed the cast into the studio

When talking about the many negative news, the one that angered her most was the rumors of her getting Botox. She was so angry that she once thought of suing, but she's worried that she may get unpleasant comments.

As for rushing the cast into the studio and rushing to get off work. She admits that initally during filming, they all have not warmed up yet, she saw that everyone was doing nothing in the make-up room, so she told everyone to hurry up and enter the studio for filming. But she only did that once, afterwards they all accommodated each other. She laughed and said that at first Jamie Chik was harder to get moving, telling Anita not to get so urging, Michael Miu joked and told her not to rush his wife. One family working together was enjoyable. She also laughed and said that with all the negative news, she wonders if it's the Producer who stirred it all up.

Tavia Yeung - Automatic bouncing can

When Tavia Yeung was a little girl, there was one time when she took a bus and passed by Shatin. When the traffic lights turned red, she saw a soft drink can which stood upright and bouncing on the street. At first, Tavia thought there was someone that used a string to pull the can. However, when she looked carefully, she knew that it was impossible because there was no one else around there. Even buildings were none to be seen.

Tavia Yeung who becomes the hot favourite for Best Actress in TVB Anniversary Awards this year based on TVB grand production, Beyond The Realm Of Conscience, actually idolize Takeshi Kaneshiro. She said, “Actually I idolize good looking guys. When Takeshi Kaneshiro came to HK in 1993, I already felt he was good looking. Other than tall and has a pair of big attractive eyes, he also has dimples when he smiles. He really looks attractive. I remember that his first movie was “The Heroic Trio 2”. That time he collaborated with Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh. Amongst all of his movies, I like “Tempting Heart” and “Turn Left Turn Right”. Actually I watched most of his movies. I’m really a big fan of him.”

When asked whether she chased her idol at that time, Tavia Yeung said, “No! I only support him silently. Actually I really want to collaborate with him after I entered this industry but there is no chance! I remember there was one time when I bumped into him in the airport. I was like little fans at that time. I kept on look at him but I was too shy to walk towards him. If there are chances for me to collaborate with him now, I think I will be too nervous and will keep on NG repeatedly!”!

Charmaine Sheh was planning to treat the crew of "Beyond" for a meal, but she still has to fix a date because she is busy filming. Susan Tse took that opportunity to invite everybody for a meal. It is Susan's birthday on 1st November, she hosted a 4 table celebration vegetarian dinner for all the crews. Charmaine said she has to be quick next time round.

"Beyond" reached 41 points rating report last week, averaging 37 points. Charmaine is particularly happy "I am very happy with the rating report. When I am out, I hear many people are talking about this series. Some people even ask me in the supermarket what is going to happen? (A magazine leaked out the ending, do you think the audience may not want to continue to watch it?) People write about the ending, but we wouldn't know till the end. (Will you be executed?) I can't tell, or I will get told by Siu Ching Jer (producer).

Talking about a magazine reported Lan Lan (Anita Yuen) tries to nail down Charmaine and treats her as her enemy, Charmaine responded "I don't know what was written, and I don't care. In fact nothing will influent my feelings, and I am happy with "Beyond". I have been in the entertainment industry over 10 years, and I have never had a celebration meal twice in a month. The cast worked well together." Another report said Charmaine tried to stab Tavia's back because she wants to win the "TV queen" award. Charmaine smiled and said "Stab with what?

From the pure and kind-hearted Mi Fung Nin in "The Master of Tai Chi", to the straightforward and righteous Iron Fist in "The Four", and from the sweet talker Leung Kai Yin in "Speech of Silence" to the supercilious and self-willed Sing Ka Chun in "D.I.E.", these are characters of Kenneth Ma's that he had left a memorable image in the audiences' heart. In November, Kenneth Ma will be coming to Canada, and perform at this year's Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant. This will allow the audience to anticipate his arrival.

Thankful for Career and Family

Kenneth Ma is more and more acceptable by the audience, and he is filming series after series. This includes modern and ancient, and he is currently wrapping up "Shall We State the Case". He is busy to the point that it is difficult to interview him. After much planning with his manager, we were finally able to contact Kenneth a couple days before Thanksgiving. The reporter first asks him if he remembers Canada's Thanksgiving Day, he laughs, "I lived in Vancouver for many years how can I forget such a big holiday? At this moment, I should also say some things that I am thankful for. For my career to have such good results; I feel very thankful. Also, I have a great family, my parents that love and support me, and two sisters that care for me. It is very fortunate to have a loving family, so I am very thankful". Others around Kenneth can feel the joy on his expression.

Upon mentioning Vancouver, Kenneth admits that he very likes the place, "The calm, comforting, and leisurely lifestyle is very different compared to fast pace Hong Kong. After a tiring day of work, I will occasionally think of the days in Vancouver. Even if it is the fearful shovelling snow or cutting grass, it is a type of enjoyment. After I finish Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant, and if time permits, I would really want to go to Vancouver, and visit my old friends".

Most Respected Instructor Law Koon Lan

Before the emigration tide in 1997, Mother Ma along with her three children immigrated to Vancouver. Therefore, Kenneth has a deep affection towards the people and matter in Vancouver. "In UBC, I majored in the one everyone sees as the boring mechanical engineering. To be honest, there is no slacking off in this major. And for me to make it to graduation, it is not a simple matter!" After completing university, Kenneth returned to Hong Kong hoping to open up a new world, but he had never thought that he would encounter the financial crisis. It was because of this financial crisis that made it very difficult for Kenneth to find a job. "I have mailed out 60, 70 application letters, but no reply. The only one I got a reply on was from TVB's Acting Class". In Kenneth's point of view, TVB's Acting Class was better than applying for unemployment insurance. He accepted the job at monthly salary of $4000.

In TVB's Acting Class, Kenneth admits that he had benefited much from it, and it had widened his horizon. "The instructors are very strict on us students. If the slightest mistake is made, the instructor will disregard their feelings and correct them in the big crowd of people. But as the saying goes, "Bright Teacher Comes Outstanding Pupil". As I think about it, I really have to thank every one instructor for their guidance. From their precious experience, I have learned a lot of knowledge on performance". This filial student most respected instructor is veteran Law Koon Lan.

"Iron Horse Seeking Bridge" Breakthrough Performance

"After entering TV industry, I deeply realized that working in this business, you mustn't mind of trivial matter. Especially at the time when I was a newbie, it was must to obey the PA's (production assistant) orders. Back then, whatever they had me to do; I'd do it. I would wait quietly, and would not talk back. Slowly, opportunity came!"

Entering the business for ten years, Kenneth is an artiste with many series. He has filmed a numerous amount of modern and ancient series Out of the two, what type of character does he like the most? "It doesn't matter what type of character I play. The fun part about filming is that each character you play will be different. As long as the script is well-written, and I can utilize my acting skill, then I will like it. I believe the performance space in filming ancient series is bigger. You can be pulled out of reality, such as flying on wires. When filming modern series, you must follow reality, and you cannot exaggerate too much. Out of all my TV series at this point, my most favourite is the not yet aired "Iron Horse Seeking Bridge". In the series, I play a martial artist with extraordinary skills, and a smart boy, too. But the character also has asthma, so when he has an asthma attack, he will not be able to use any of this martial arts. I believe I have a breakthrough performance in here because I have jumped out of the stable box".

In order to film a lion dance scene, Kenneth practiced with the professional stunt man. With the hot temperatures of summer, holding the lion head and moving it under the hot sun. His sweat was like rain drops. You can tell it was labourious work.

Performing Profession Can Be Very Long

"If there is a chance for you to do it, I shouldn't say it is labourious. Like I said in the beginning, for me to have the opportunity to develop in this industry, I am very thankful. I am more and more interested in this industry. As for awards, it is feeling at ease whatever the circumstance is. To be recognized [for my work] is a happy thing. But if I lose to my competitor, then that proves I still need to work harder. Someone once asked my how long I plan on acting? I can only say that there is no specific timetable, and I don't mind if I work until I am old. I see many veterans around me, they are all great actors with high degrees of proficiency acting skills, and they are loved by the audience. As long as I am happy, as long as the audience is still watching, and as long as the company will give me opportunities to continue and perform, then my performance profession can be very long". Other than filming series, Kenneth also performs on stage in other cities and countries. He says frankly, "These are the real money making opportunities!" It seems like Kenneth wasn't able to become a mechanical engineerer, but made a career change into acting. Not only is this the correct choice, but it is a long-term investment with an amount of interest!

Inner and Outer Beauty as a Standard

As for being invited to be a performing guest at this year's Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant, Kenneth is full of anticipation. "It has been at least ten years since I was last in Toronto! When I was going to school in Vancouver, I had once gone to Niagara Falls with my mom and friends. I heard that for many years, Toronto's food has a very high standard. I hope to have the opportunity to eat some delicious food".

When mentioning the grand occasion of Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant, Kenneth suddenly had more topics to talk about. "Canada is full of beautiful girls. In recent years, contestants from Canada have had great results at Miss Chinese International Pageants, such as, Bernice Liu, Linda Chung, Aimee Chan, Christine Kuo, Christy Chung, etc. They are all publicly acknowledged as beautiful girls. They have grace and they have confidence. [To be able to perform at this year's Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant] It is such a rare opportunity to be in close contact with the contestants". In Kenneth' eye, what is his definition of a beautiful girl? He says, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Different people have different views. It would not be fair if beauty is only judged from their outer appearance. I think beauty is the most eye catching when radiance is shines through from the inside to the outside. Also, a girl with a calm, refined, and natural performance who speaks orderly, and has wisdom will eventually be charming".

As for singing, Kenneth modestly says he is not a singer, so he is not comparable to a professional singer. "But, I like to listen to songs, and I have learnt under an instructor before. So I have learnt some skills in singing. As for this performance at Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant, I hope the audience will support me". Actually, his theme songs for "Man in Charge" and "Survivor's Law II" have already been known to the audience. On the night of Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant, the audience will be able to see this popular artiste's demeanour, and admire his singing. Kenneth, Canada's TV fans are anticipating your arrival!

Earlier on, because of Bosco Wong secretly hooking up with Toby Leung, it once made Boscolie’s 5-year relationship on the rocks! Myolie Wu was displeased with her boyfriend’s flirtatiousness, and once initiated a break-up. In order to salvage the relationship, Bosco Wong not only abandoned Toby Leung, he also took Myolie Wu to Okinawa for a holiday together in August. On last Wednesday night (21/10), Bosco Wong even spent 30,000HKD to hold a birthday party for Myolie Wu at Central’s SEVVA. There were many TVB artistes and backstage crew members being invited for the celebration. When our reporter sneaked into the party, he/she discovered that both of them were sitting in a dark corner of the balcony, and happily drinking wine, hugging and kissing each other.

During this February, when Bosco Wong headed to Mainland to film a new drama, he immediately clicked with Toby Leung. After Toby stepped into the Boscolie relationship, according to sources, Myolie Wu once had a huge argument on this matter with Bosco Wong, and even angrily threw her boyfriend’s belongings out of the house and demanded a break-up. However, after a round of ‘sticking’ strategy, Bosco Wong managed to pacify Myolie Wu back. Earlier on, he even thought hard, and decided to organize a birthday party for Myolie Wu to salvage the relationship.

Captions (top) - 22/10/2009 2:30AM Leaving Separately One After The Other:
1) Bosco’s stylish attire, plus his expenditure of 30,000HKD to hold a birthday party for his girlfriend; these should make Myolie very happy lah!
2) As they knew that there were reporters waiting outside at the gate, thus Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu left separately one after the other. Though Bosco wasn’t by Myolie’s side, Myolie’s mood was very good and remained all smiles.

Bosco Wong’s good friend revealed, “The birthday party this time was organized by Bosco. Myolie will be in Japan filming her new drama on her real birthday (06/11), so the celebration was brought forward.” On 21/10 at 10PM, Myolie’s mood was very good. After she completed the JSG recording, she hurried to turn up for the date. As for the male lead, Bosco Wong was there an hour earlier than his girlfriend to organize everything at the restaurant. At the birthday party that day, other than the artistes, Kevin Cheng, Nancy Wu and Christine Ng, there were also other friends outside of the entertainment industry. All of the guests reached before 10PM, and there were around 20 people. Most of them were dressed in red. As the restaurant’s balcony was very dark, the reporter could only go forward to take photographs. But once the reporter stepped out of the balcony, he/she was immediately spotted by Myolie’s assistant. At that moment, someone shouted loudly, “A reporter!” Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu immediately split away from each other, and even called for a waiter right away to chase the report away. But after chasing the reporter away, there was a good scene coming up. According to the witnesses at the restaurant, they said, “Bosco Wong was sticking close beside Myolie Wu for the entire night. If his hand’s not placed over her shoulders, then he’s hugging her. I saw him continually drinking red wine and champagne. Almost 8 to 10 bottles lah! Myolie Wu was going around drinking with people. Someone wanted to ask Myolie to drink, but Bosco Wong snatched to help her drink on her behalf! In the wee hours, when the whole group was cutting the birthday cake, someone shouted loudly, “Kiss her, kiss her!” After that, I saw Bosco Wong hugging Myolie Wu, and kissed on her cheek. Later, the group still continued to make noise. Both of them even really did a French kiss!”

The group partied till 2.30AM, before leaving one by one. All of them drank till their faces were red. Myolie and her friend first took the nanny car and left. 10 minutes later, Bosco Wong took a taxi back under the care of Myolie Wu’s manager. According to sources, Bosco Wong paid the bill on that night. He spent around 30,000HKD. But, spending a few ten thousands to make your girlfriend happy, it’s worth it lah. Our magazine called up Bosco Wong, but could not get through his cell phone and was directed to his voicemail, thus there was no reply yet. As for Myolie Wu’s manager, Atom, he said, “That day, we pre-celebrated Myolie’s birthday. Bosco’s one of the guests. Kevin, Nancy, Christine and Amigo turned up too. (Why wasn’t Toby invited?) That time, the invitations were for close friends. (Was that place found by Bosco?) We chose it together. (That night, someone saw Myolie and Bosco kissing.) No, that night everyone were playing happily, but didn’t kiss.”

Captions (top):
1) Before Boscolie discovered the presence of reporters, both of them were sticking to each other like Siamese twins
2) Bosco, whose hobby is into red wine, brought along quite a few private collections on that night
3) Once the reporter was discovered, both Myolie and Bosco Wong immediately split away from each other

Captions (bottom):
1) Kevin Cheng and Amigo Chui wore red outfits to celebrate Myolie's birthday
2) Nancy Wu, whom just finished work, did not have time to change her outfit and rushed over to celebrate her good friend's birthday
Bosco Wong chose SEVVA as his girlfriend’s, Myolie Wu, birthday party venue, because SEVVA’s privacy level was very high, plus the balcony position was dark, thus if there was any unfamiliar person passing by, he/she will be discovered immediately.

Captions:
1) That night, Bosco Wong even specially ordered a very big almond sponge cake as his girlfriend’s birthday cake. This cake is the restaurant’s signature dessert.
2) The restaurant’s balcony has not only high level of privacy, but one can also view the scenery if Victoria Harbor, thus it’s very romantic. That night, Bosco Wong booked the two tables at the furthest corner.

Mak Ling Ling's Prediction: Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu - Better To See Less Often Of Each Other

"In 2009, it's a year when Bosco Wong will have the biggest change. His career development will progress well, but for relationships, it won't be so smooth. Next year will be a crucial year for he and Myolie Wu. There might be 2 extreme possibilities for their relationship. It can be very good, and surface out. Or there's no breakthrough, and thus, a break-up. If wish to keep the relationship well, it's better not to see each other so often.

Bosco envies Aaron for owning so many prestigious cars, he said "I have two cars only. I really wanted a Lamborghini, but if I have money, I would buy a house first. I was thinking of buying an apartment earlier, but a friend of mine asked me to wait and see. As a result, the house price has gone up, I couldn't do anything, the housing market is so unstable. (Does Myolie think it is better to but a house than a car?) Not only she feels that way, I lot of people also think that too. This is a very simple theory. (Why doesn't she buy a hourse, and you can buy a car.?) Not really, I buy my house, it would be in my name."

Ella was supposed to rest her voice, but she had to demonstrate singing karaoke yesterday. It was disclosed that before Ella was in "The Voice", she also used that karaoke system to practice her singing. Ella has been attending a lot of functions even though she is not well. Ella said she could cope with that and she likes to work too. Sometimes she feels a bit dizzy after taking the medicine, she does worry she may faint on stage. Ella went on to say "I am 30 years old and I have never felt faint on stage. I do hope for miracle that when I wake up in the morning, I am cured."

Wayne Lai's "Chai Gau" character is speculated to be the hot favorite to win this year's "TV King" award. It was reported since he still hasn't signed his contract with TVB, he is not TVB's "own son" yet, that speculation may change. Wayne had an interview by Char Siu Yan at the commercial radio yesterday. He said the tradition of one has to be TVB's own son to win the award has changed last year. If it is the requirement of someone has to be TVB's own son to win the award, that award is meaningless. It is not a good reflection to the artist and to the company. He doesn't believe that can happen. He has been organizing his own work schedule and he enjoys his freedom. He is happy with this arrangement. He is worried if he signed the contract with TVB, their good working relationship may change.

Their manager Mani Fok responded for them saying that their jobs are scheduled until mid-next year, so there are currently no plans yet. Ah Sa expressed that TWINS debuted in 2001, so in 2011 it will be their 10th anniversary, maybe thats when they get back together. She also felt that it cannot be rushed, waiting for a good time is important. She said: "EEG won't want use to die!"

As for advertisers for breast argumentation offering 10 million HKD asking Ah Gil to be their spokesperson? Ah Gil said: "Wow! I cannot accept this, big breast is not necessary something good. I am very satisfied with my body figure now, so no matter how many 10 millions are offered I won't accept it." Reporters asked if its because she's tight on her mortgage payments? She said that one of her properties is placed on listing, but for her mortgage payments, her mother manages it. Mani was besides her and expressed that Ah Gil is not having problems financially. Also her career provides enough for her to pay off the payments, after half a year since her comeback there was a month or two where she had more than a million income.

Because Ella Koon's vocal strain, the doctor suggested that she use less of her voice and let it recover. Last night she attended "Metro's Karaoke Charity" event and had to sing karaoke songs. Asked why she did it? Ella said: "I had my assistant and more than 10 fans sing along with me, I only sang a little, then I stopped and danced. But I'm afraid I may not help myself because I love singing." She was right, she couldn't resist, once the music started she singing a little before realizing that she shouldn't be singing too much, so she gave the microphone to the fans to sing for her. Every song she sang a little and took a break, then gave the mic back to the fans. She was so high singing and dancing. But, after the 4th song she couldn't stand it anymore, she grabbed onto her throat with her two hands and said: "it hurts alot".

Ella needs to rest for 3 months before she can fully recover, how will she protect her voice? She said that besides work where my voice is necessary, I will not be talking, try my best to use my voice softly and not straining it more. She said: "At home I'm using writing to communicate with my family and assistant, but in public, I'm afraid people will say I have no manners, so when I see someone I will smile and wave at them. I smiled so much that I get very tired. I really like to talk, now I can't talk, so miserable. Also, need to stop eating spicy, cold and sour foods."

Seeing Chilam Cheung's handsome appearance, it's believed that many people envy him, it's hard to believe that he's already 38 years old. Making a comeback into the music scene, Chilam grew a bread to look more masculine. His partner changed from Maple Hui to Myolie Wu, the two has a new love song duet "A Clean Break" (一刀兩斷). First time singing with Chilam, Myolie felt honored.

Last year entering the music industry and winning the newcomer award, it can be considered Myolie's prosperous year in both her acting and music career. Stepping into her second year in music, she will be releasing her second album in November and will be holding her very own mini concert. Myolie frankly said that it's surprising and exciting, but the greatest interest she has is of course being able to duet with Chilam who had just came back in their new song "A Clean Break". "Chilam is the grandfather of duets, collaborating with him I am truly happy. When I found out he entered our record company (Neway), I was even more happy, we really look forward to his new songs. His first comeback song will include me, I'm excited. Also the original music and lyrics are done very well, really matches modern young people love problems."

Collaborating with Chilam, Myolie frankly said that she feels pressured. She also mentioned that now when she enters the recording studio, she's starting to feel that there are many things still there for her to learn. She said: "Sometimes when I'm singing many times it's not just using your voice then that's it, have to see how to use your voice to move people, how to get emotions. Maybe Chilam is experienced, once he starts singing he has emotions."

Chilam automatically volunteered to do lyrics

Chilam's first comeback song is a duet with Myolie Wu. He expressed that "A Clean Break" mainly focused on a break-up story, but actually does not advise people to indulge in a period of unanswered love. "At first the producer was thinking if it would be better to use the first person or the third person to approach the song. In the end, we chose to use the third person to look at the relationship, it would be better for the third person to see the feelings." The Mandarin version of "A Clean Break" is personally written by Chilam. He expressed that when he first heard the music, he felt it was beautiful and automatically tried it out for himself, little did he know he fell for it. "When I heard the melody, I felt it was very beautiful, so I told my company I wanted to try to do the lyrics, who would have knew that after a long while, I still had nothing written. My company constantly chased after me, in the end they brought out the 'killer', they gave me a deadline. Once the deadline was in place, I went to work quickly and soon I got the lyrics done." Chilam frankly said that he really enjoyed the process of writing lyrics, it is a way to challenge yourself. He hopes in the future he would have more opportunities to try.

Asked if he was interested when he first got a new partner (Myolie), Chilam praised that Myolie's singing is serious: "It is our first time collaborating, so I do not know her that well, but I feel that Myolie is a hard worker and is quite serious. The second time we collaborated, is when we sang the theme song to a cartoon. However, relax everyone, we will soon become mature because we will be going to Beijing for a new series."

Myolie "overage" singer

In the music world, many newcomers are still studying before entering the music industry, but Myolie is the 'overage' singer: "Actually my company always knew that I liked to sing, but I never thought I'll have a chance to enter the industry, just after 10 years before I can officially become a singer. Of course I am still young now, haha!" Myolie explained that if she had become a singer a few years earlier, she would not be as mature and may even waste her opportunities. Also recently there are many artistes who are singing the theme songs, which gave her more confidence. She said: "I feel that this way its good for my singing, whether if its physically or mentally I will be ready. If I entered a few years ago, I would probably not be as mature and would not know what I want." In the artists world, suddenly there are so many who became singers, which makes it more competitive. It is not hard to believe there is pressure? "Many of them sang pretty well, I think it's a good thing and it doesn't limit artistes to just acting, there is singing as an alternative. I feel that there is only improvement when there's competition. When we all improve, it is a benefit for audience."

Wrote a Mandarin song in new album

Now is this a 'tactic' to attract more fans? "As an artist, there must be more markets to develop in. I will be dancing for the Mini Concert, I hope that everyone could get a surprise. I also wrote a Mandarin song in my new album in which I gave to the producer Endy Chow to look at. He said that it looks ok, but will have to find someone to read it over first before its completed. (Is it a love song?) Yes, a tragic one. It is something that I experienced, the content talks about the male lead may really love you, but in reality it may not feel that way. Actually men and women view love differently, girls probably would want a faithful one, but guys may not think so. (What era is the song in?) Wah! So detailed? Haha! Just I have experienced it before."
