Already have a son, Roger Kwok will become a father again in July. His wife Cindy Au is currently carrying a girl and the couple is ready to build the word "good" (Good = 好, the character is made up with the characters boy and girl)[/url]. The day before, Roger and his 5 and half month pregnant wife went to pick up their 3 year old son (Brad Kwok) from school. Roger's mother-in-law also accompanied them.

When the couple went to pick up Brad, once he saw his father, he immediately became excited. Brad had an 'Ah Wong' bowl cut and a yellow outfit on, and was carried by his father Roger as they crossed the street. During the time, Brad was swinging his arms and legs, which made his parents laugh at his jumpy mood.

Roger later accepted a phone interview and when mentioned how his son had an Ah Wong cut along with an active spirit, he chuckled: "He usually doesn't allow haircuts, I gave him the haircut while he was sleeping. I'm very pleased with it. He's also very active, like an athlete." He expressed that because his wife is pregnant and he had a break, so he has been responsible for picking up his son from school lately. He said: "My wife is expected to due early July, next month I'm going to Mainland to shoot a series and will be back in June to accompany my wife until September, where I'll be back in TVB for a new series. I taught my son to talk to his unborn sister, I told him to say to his mom's stomach: 'little sister, I welcome you.' It's a cute scene."

It turns out that Cindy had it very difficult during her first trimester, she often had fever and vomited. Fortunately her condition is stabled now, Roger said: "Her appetite has changed, she likes to eat spicy foods, which can stop vomits. I eat with her, and urge her not to eat too much."

Asked Roger if he had thought of a name for his daughter? He said: "I have 3-4 names in mind. See how she looks when she's born first, then I'll think of which name has the right feel." Are two kids enough? He laughed: "Enough, I have already reached another stage in life. Cindy will have to 'retire' from this. In fact we already got it all planned, we will care for our children until they're 20, then we can really enjoy retirement life."

Faye Wong made her return to Hong Kong on Friday night to kick off the first of five shows for her 'Faye Wong Tour 2011' at the Asia World Expo. The entire venue was packed with fans, many who have waited years for her return to Hong Kong. To thank her fans for their endless support, Faye specially added new features to her show, including new outfits and makeup, and also prepared a new brand set list featuring some her classic Cantonese songs. Riding on a float which lowered into the crowd, audience members were able to have a more intimate encounter with their idol.

With previous stops in Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei, Faye finally returned to Hong Kong where she first began her rise to fame. She prepared 10 new looks for the night which accentuated her diva image, but maintained her graceful appeal.

Aside from her outfits, Faye's makeup design was also brand new.

It's been almost 8 years since Faye last performed a Cantonese song on stage. Faye appeared a little nervous at the beginning of the concert. Her pronunciation was evidently not as sharp as it was before. However, with the audience's endless applause and cheer, she soon regained her confidence. Faye was so into the music she evened danced a little on stage. In spite of her enthusiasm, Faye remained the same as always and spoke only a few words that night. She said 'thank you' three times in Cantonese and once in Mandarin, and greeted the audience with a simple 'hello' in English.

During the 'Fall' segment, Faye wore a black dress which revealed her back. She rode on top of a float covered with feathers which lowered her into the audience, allowing her to be much closer in proximately than she was during her previous concerts. Faye continuously waved at the audience and appeared in high spirits. The two hour concerted ended at 10:15 p.m. At the end of the show, the screens in the back showed an image of a white lotus as she began singing the song 'Heart Sutra'. The audience continued their applause till the very end.

Talked about Marie Zhuge is getting married at the end of the year, Fala wanted to avoid this topic, only expressed if she is invited to the wedding, she would try to attend.

Michele Reis' son definitely inherited the good genes from his mom.

Having big eyes and double eyelids, netizens praised this little guy is going to be a handsome man when he is a grown up.

Reis' manager expressed little JM is really cute and looks like both parents at different angles.

"He looks like his dad Julian Hui when he is sleeping, but looks like his pretty mom when he opens his eyes."

Reis herself also have good genes when it comes to slimming down after giving birth. From the photo she posted of herself recently, she looks stunning for a woman who just gave birth. Her arms and legs are so slim and actually didn't look like she was pregnant. Her secret diet? Still have to wait for her to publish it!

As a Scorpio, Myolie is very much like one having self-confidence, determined, prudent and a clear goal. In her career, TVB Dong Ka FaDan Charmaine Sheh is leaving, the other FaDans now have a chance to fight for the big sister position, Myolie has already entered the battle. She said that the TV Queen title is one of her goals. As for her love life, she is surrounded by rumors on her developed relationship with Bosco Wong, who is a year younger than her.

Sonjia Kwok exposed that she's dating and shared the good news with everyone. On the contrary, Myolie avoids talking about her love life, she said: "I don't want to just talk about relationships, well...I'll go back and think about it." Regarding Bosco, Myolie just gave short answers on what she's asked. In fact everyone accepts them, otherwise TVB wouldn't have made arrangements for them to collaborate as a couple team so many times. Myolie said timidly: "I guess." Myolie and Bosco sparked in 2005 after their collaboration in War of In-Laws, in a blink of an eye it has already been 6 years, she admitted that there was once a pretty good pursuer that appeared in her life, but in the end it was "better to be friends". Why didn't she give other people a chance? She laughed: "I will envy a little, girls are not afraid of having many pursuers, but perhaps of my horoscope, I'm not that type that locks up, I don't want people to misunderstand." But in reality, her 'lock' is on Bosco.

Changes mind, accepts 'sister-brother love'

Since Myolie and the one year younger than her Bosco were surrounded by rumors, she broke through the fate of TVB's heavily rumored FaDans, she laughed: "You all wanted to write just about him that's all." Back then, when the rumors were going around, Myolie publicly said several times: "I will not accept guys younger than me." How about now? She said: "Well of course it's better to choose someone older. It's enough if he's just older than me mentally (his personality)." Things have changed, Myolie is now able to relax her restrictions, she laughed: "Yes, as long as I keep it well myself." Is Bosco's personality mature? Myolie laughed brightly: "Not really, he's basically like a little kid." Are they dating, but refusing to make it public? She couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "I don't know how to answer you..Ah!"

Although women have many strengths, the majority of them would announce their 'final destinations' by age 30. The 31 year old Myolie also has her own views: "Have to see if that partner, really is the happiness. I am rather pessimistic, unless I'm really sure it's that person. If not, then it's better to leave the most beautiful memories instead." Myolie grew up in a single parent home, her parents' divorce indeed had an impact on her. Will she ever get marry? She thought for a moment: "If I find the right person, I will. But it's not easy to find one."

Regarding her future direction, Myolie didn't think about it: "Every stage in life have different needs. I see many girls, like Jessica Hsuan, she's 40 years old and still very happy and young. Thinking for a moment, can I really work 10 more years? Before I thought, am I going to be married by age 35? But a few years later, will that marriage be too early? I would feel like it's a waste." She seems to be feeling 15/16.

How about having children? Myolie said: "I see my sister so happy because she already has 3 babies. It's one thing to be happy, but there are also a lot of sacrifices. You have to give your entire self to the child, I think I'm not ready for that yet. I have to find a reliable person and take this step with him together, that would be better. I have this thought, but if my other half doesn't, then it's going to be difficult."

Her roles are starting to have development, like in TVB's new unreleased series Ghetto Justice, where she plays an attorney and Queen of All as a scheming queen. She's no longer 'Wu Gwing Gwing'. Regarding making the Chinese yuan, Myolie felt it doesn't matter: "As long as I'm happy, just having jobs is enough. If there are jobs, then it proves I have a market. Also, I'm a killer (hardworking), constantly shooting series." As to Netizens once said she looks like a "Sad Rock" ('Gwing'), and taking her crying face to joke around with. She said: "There are a lot of different fans online, some supports you, some don't. They can do anything they want, I will listen to Netizens' comments. If there are negative comments, then I will look to see if it's reasonable and then I will see how I can change."

Not giving up on singing

In 2005, Myolie gained 42 pounds to play the role as Fei Tin (To Grow With Love), but in the end the TV Queen award went to Charmaine Sheh for her role in Maiden Vow. However, now that Charmaine is leaving, Myolie directly admitted that she wants the TV Queen title: "TV Queen is of course one of my goals, but it needs to be the right time. If it comes, it comes, if I doesn't, then it's fine too. I am not going to fight for it, the most important is to work hard on my jobs. That year when I did Fei Tin, people pitied me a lot because it was a big sacrifice and I didn't get anything back. In fact, I wasn't unhappy because I already tried my best on completing my duties. Right now I won't think too much, like singing, I just like to do it. How many 20-30 years old do we have in life? It can't be that I start singing at age 40 right? Every person wants the best, to be the top, going up to Joey Yung's status as the big sister in the music industry. But, how many can be the big sister? Only one. TV can only have one too. I have thought about focusing on singing and giving up on TV, or just focus on TV and give up on singing. However, I can do things that I like doing, so I kept both."

Yesterday Yoyo Mung, Ella Koon and Kristal Tin promoted for TVB series Only You. The cast played traditional marriage ceremony games. In the series, Yoyo plays a matchmaker, so for the game she had to piggy back Ella. However, after taking two steps with Ella on her back, she fell to the ground. The night before, she supported her boyfriend Ekin Cheng's concert, it was said she took Ekin's parents home. She said: "Just sent them to their car, I should be supporting his concert every night." At the concert, Ekin perform his ex-lover Gigi Leung's song Today. Yoyo said generously: "I knew he was going to sing that song before because it was produced by Chan Kwong Wing. Unfortunately, he didn't sing Jordan Chan's Mutually Dependent For Life. (Do you mind your boyfriend singing his ex's song?) Not at all! Back then, I bought that CD too, the song is good!"

Regarding the recent rumors that Charmaine Sheh and Bernice Liu are leaving TVB, Yoyo felt that there are just changes in the contract, she said: "TVB and I have never broke off, I don't think they won't continue shooting series for TVB, just not as often."

Ella reveals that a friend got married earlier, and she gave a HK$15,000 golden pig as a wedding gift. She smiled: "It's once in a lifetime, for a good friend, doesn't matter. However, it's going to a long time until I get a gift back. I won't be getting married in the next few years, I just feel that I'm not mature enough yet. (When will you get marry then?) I saw Carina Lau and Michelle Reis so happy, I feel that being a little late can still be very happy." She expressed that because of work, she often gets to wear wedding dresses and Qipao. As to her wedding dress, she doesn't have any expectations. Reporters joked and asked if she's going to wear a swimsuit? Ella said: "Of course not, that would frighten people."

There are still a lot of people in TVB, what's most important is everyone gets an opportunity."

Yoyo Mung said that leaving TVB just means she's changing the contract form. Yoyo strongly supported Charmaine's decision: "It's not a complete break off, just as people get older, starts wanting a new environment."

Although 43-year-old Andy Hui Chi On and 38-year-old Sammi Cheng Sau Man have denied rumors that they were dating on recent occasions, a reporter spotted the pair on a dinner date at 4 PM yesterday. The pair dined at a restaurant in the Jordan district, sitting in a dimly-lit corner. Upon discovering reporters, Andy appeared embarrassed and had to take a sip of tea to steady himself. Sammi acted more generously and smiled happily at Andy.

Romantic sparks occurred between Sammi and Andy in 1991 when they collaborated on duet song, Do You Truly Have Me in Your Heart <其實你心裡有沒有我>. To protect both their careers, Sammi and Andy maintained an 11-year underground relationship before publicly revealing their relationship in 2001 at the Jade Solid Gold awards. When the pair broke up in 2004, many fans hoped that they would reunite again. Sammi acknowledged that she did not date anyone in the last few years. When Andy broke up with his ex-girlfriend, Michelle, last year, many people speculated that he would reunite with Sammi again.

When the reporter spotted Sammi and Andy at the restaurant, they were in the middle of a conversation. Spotting the reporter, Andy pointed his finger at Sammi and said, “The reporter is here for you!” Since their date was discovered, Andy’s face blushed. He picked up a cup of tea and repeatedly sipped it to steady himself. When reporters took photos, Andy forced himself to calm down and said, “It’s okay.” Finally collecting himself, Andy asked the reporter, “Which publication are you from?”

After finishing their meal, Sammi stepped outside first. When reporters asked whether the pair were dating again, Sammi remained silent while smiling in response. The answer appeared self-evident. Andy said sternly, “Don’t say that.” After driving Sammi home, Andy went back to his own home.

Since Bernice Liu Bik Yee was caught on a date with Richard Li’s cousin, Alastair Lam Chi Ho last December, tabloids have portrayed Bernice as a gold digger. The news also brought to light that Bernice’s 6-year relationship with Moses Chan Ho had ended.


At TVB for ten years, Bernice was highly sought after by advertisers and was one of the top earning actresses at one point. Despite this, no TVB executive stepped forward to support Bernice during the onslaught of negative rumors following the exposure of her relationship with Alastair. Disheartened by the lack of company support, Bernice allegedly considered leaving TVB when her contract ends next year.

In contrast, when Raymond Lam Fung was criticized by Shaw Brothers executive, Lawrence Wong, for lacking a firm standing in the film industry, TVB Deputy Chairman, Mona Fong, wrote a letter of encouragement to Raymond. TVB executive, Virginia Lok Yi Ling, showed the letter to the media. TVB executives’ public display of support was much stronger for Raymond in this incident, while Bernice received no support during her scandal.

Bernice Liu Spotted Dining Out With Alastair Lam

Although Bernice may be neglected by TVB, her relationship with rumored boyfriend, Alastair Lam, may have strengthened. Several days ago, reporters spotted Bernice eating dinner with Alastair, while accompanied by other friends. When reporters asked Alastair about his relationship with Bernice, he said, “On that evening, dinner was between three friends and one assistant. The dinner was very enjoyable. I will not respond about the ‘relationship.’ The press seems to publish its own version of the story. Anyway, we were not together and did not break up.” (Did Alastair speak to his cousin, Richard Li, about his break-up with Isabella Leong Lok Sze?) Alastair answered even more carefully, “I will not talk about my family’s private matters. I will not respond.”

Model Marie Zhuge was rumored to be tying the knot at the end of the year with Neway's second young master (Sit Ka Leun). As the "Aiya Sister-In-Law" Fala said that she found out through the news too, but did not feel surprised because she heard about it before. Asked if Fala is going to be her bridesmaid? She answered in a difficult tone: "Not answering. (Going to the wedding?) See the arrangements when the time comes." Marie once implied that Fala had already got her marriage registration done in Mainland, asked when she's planning to tie the knot? She was also unwilling to answer: "Not answering. (As what status will you be when you attend the wedding?) Not answering."

It was rumored that Liu Xuan and her boyfriend (Tao Wang) of 8 years are already engaged and are cohabiting. She generously admitted that he is her boyfriend, but are not engaged or cohabiting: "Of course there is consensus that we can be together for this long, but we are not at the marriage stage yet. Work is the most important, I have to set a good example for the other athletes." When speaking of the reports that Liu Xuan have not experienced the riches and honors like other athletes that married a rich man, she said: "Every person's happiness is different. Money can be used up, but the inner riches will not be used up. I am feeling great happiness."

Wong He, 4 behind-the-scenes TVB staff and a tour guide set off to Chongqing City the day before. They went to shoot a documentary Three Gorges Dam scheduled to release mid-March on Central Broadcasting Station (CBS). Initially, the crew planned to shoot in Chongqing City, Yichang and Wuhan City and ride on the cruise liner to explore the Three Gorges, but on the first day of shooting, they already got interrupted.

Yesterday morning, Wong He arrived at the Three Gorges memorial museum in Chongqing City, the crew already received permission to shoot at the museum, but ended up being surrounded by over 10 plainclothes Public Security members. Everyone had to be checked by them, but Wong He and the photographer were still outside shooting, the museum staff immediately stopped them. The Public Security said Wong He and the crew failed to produce a media accreditation (media pass), so all 6 of them were arrested and taken back to the police station for an hour before they were released. However, for a temporarily time, they are advised not to continue shooting, otherwise there will be a violation. It was understood that the crew had friendly relations at the police station, a female staff even asked Wong He for a picture with her.

Wong He expressed over a long distance phone call: "The Public Security took us to a conference room to disuss with them. The other people were not questioned. When we were being taken to the police station, I didn't know what was going on and was worried. (You were drinking Jasmine tea at the time?) No, nor did we do anything suspicious. I have never been arrested before, later I found out that it was an issue with the media pass, so I wasn't worried anymore. When I got back to the hotel, I saw the calender, it was the rat month, there's two people in the crew born in the year of the rat, no wonder!"

TVB Foreign Affairs Director (Tsang Sing Ming) expressed: "The production group had not got permission, which is what was called the media pass in Mainland. TVB did apply for it, but we did not get it yet. Initially we planned to shoot as we wait, but after the Public Security learned that we were just shooting a documentary, they just advised us to temporarily not continue the shoot yet. This time the administration was impatient. In this type of situation, TVB already communicated with the crew, wait until the pass comes out before we continue shooting. If it doesn't work out, then will have to come back to HK."

Chapman To is passionate about photography, so he helped TVB take artists photos. Besides visiting his wife Kristal Tin, he also took on another job as the photographer's assistant. Yesterday morning at 8am, Chapman posted a topless photo of Raymond Lam in a strap with a 'FUNG' tattoo. This caught the attention of many Netizens, praising that Raymond "is so fine and Chok". The photo was forwarded 5000 times. However, Chapman later quickly deleted the photo.

Rarely appearing topless, Raymond gave it all he got for the TVB artist photo. His topless photo with a strap around his neck and hands, along with the FUNG tattoo got fans screaming madly. Someone said his belly is very cute. Wong Cho Lam also had a photo posted, but was deleted by Chapman as well. Wong Cho Lam was topless as well, but was covered in a black cloth and only revealed his right side a little. Chapman later felt that he shouldn't be exposing the TVB artist photos, so he deleted the two sexy photos, but didn't delete his wife's photo.

Chapman wrote on Weibo: "While TVB artists were doing the photo shoot, Tin artist (Kristal) husband visited her and became the photographer's assistant. Really grateful of everyone at the TVB studio, you all put in all the efforts into the work, and tolerated my interruptions.

Ron Ng and Kate Tsui were photographed kissing passionately in public last night!

But they were only doing it for upcoming drama "Forensic Heroes 3." Kissing in the public for drama last night, Kate frankly admitted she was a little embarrassed.

"I played Ron's girlfriend several times already. But these kind of scenes were filmed in the studio before, not like this time on the streets, especially during rush hour. So it's quite embarrassing."

Once kissed Bosco Wong and Kenneth Ma and now Ron, Kate was asked who is the best at kissing. She turned embarrassed again.

"Don't ask these type of embarrassing questions you guys. But should be Ron, since we're closed, just like brothers."

Ron expressed he is well prepared for this scene and didn't feel embarrassed.

"It's just for work. Just a light kiss, not french kiss," he said. "In order to prepare for this scene, I didn't eat garlic and things like that to avoid bad breaths."

The night before, Bosco Wong recorded a new episode on JSG along with Jamb Lam, Rubberband and Shin Wong. During the time, it was exposed that he currently has three properties 'on hand', he smiled helplessly: "My 3 properties is from my difficult savings, but now the housing prices are too high, I still can't buy my dream house. (Your dream house is really big?) I like a unit that's a loft with a rooftop, together it's at least 2000 square feet. The estimated price for the loft and rooftop is roughly HK$10,000 per square foot. I need at least 20 million, I have too many clothes and shoes, won't have enough space for it all."

Bosco lived in a village house in the past, he feels that village houses although are similar to his dream house, but public safety is not too good. Mansions provide a higher level of privacy, no fear of secret photography. Reporters teased that he loves cars, property and red wine, the "3 high costs", so he must be a "3 high person" too, but Bosco ridiculed himself: "My 3 highs are high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high expenses, that's more like it!" He also took the opportunity to groan that he looked at his financial budget earlier and saw that the taxes raised for automobile's first time registration, and the car he just preordered is still unregistered, so for no reason he has to pay an extra 5 figures worth of taxes. He feels painful and unhappy.

Yesterday Shirley Yeung arrived on CRHK for a radio interview. She clearly looked a lot thinner, she said: "My mom said I look like a stick. Before the new year, I indeed fell ill. The day before, I vomited 3 times." Asked if that's the symptoms of being pregnant? Shirley said: "It should be because I ate something wrong. I rarely vomit like that, but pregnancy needs planning. (Accidental?) There won't be this kind of luck happening to me."

It was said that many TVB Fadans are already settled? Shirley said: "I'm really not married yet. I asked a fortune teller master before, said that I'll get marry in a year or two." Asked if she and her boyfriend had talked about marriage? Shirley expressed that work comes first now, she is afterall the main person who supports her family, so she needs to work hard for a few more years.

Yesterday Niki Chow was dressed in a pre-modern costume to shoot for TVB new series My Cruel Lover. She frankly said that this role is a huge challenge to her, it is necessary for her to be tremendously focused on the performance. Although she's shooting the scene in the first episode, she's already needs to cry for the scene. Niki said: "My role owns a family soy sauce business, but because there are problems with the soy sauce, I decided to dump all of it." Before Niki had several opportunities to collaborate with Lee Tim Shing, but because her schedule clashed and contract issues, it never happened. For this reason, she really cherishes this collaboration. Niki said: "It has already been over 2 years since I've done a series, this time I can finally work with Tim Gor, I hope to do better in my performance, so I turned down several other jobs." She did not care how much money she may have lost from turning down those jobs because out of all the series she's been in, this is the series she has the most lines in.

Lately there are many artists leaving the 'nest', Niki was asked if she would take the advantage to sign with TVB? She said: "I am not very sure, didn't think about it. Before I started this series, I already contract issues, TVB treats me well, this time they really accommodated a lot for me, always pushing back the production progress. So I want to concentrate more on shooting the series first, right now a record label approached me, I am still considering. She expressed that many from the crew are already married and have children, and the daily topic to talk about is not leaving their babies. Niki laughed: "They made me really desperate to get marry and have kids too, but I do enjoy the dating process, can't just get marry and have kids right away."

Hong Kong popular star Raymond Lam and the media from all over the country gathered together for a special event for Luk Fook Jewelry’s "Love Forever - Eternal Love" collection in which Raymond is the spokesperson for.

At the event, 5 winners of the Creative Slogan contest were announced and received an invitation by Luk Fook to attend the award ceremony. The winners got to get close interaction with Raymond. Last year after the exposure of his sister's marriage, it was said that Raymond was rushed into marriage too by his family members. When reporters asked to confirm, Raymond frankly said he was not rushed nor arranged for any blind dates: "That was just what everyone guessed, perhaps because my sister is experiencing much happiness, I like to let nature take its course." As Luk Fook's spokesperson, will he give a girlfriend Luk Fook's jewelries? Raymond expressed that of course he will, last year during the holidays he gave his mom and sister jewelry: "Because rings are not to be given out to just any girl, I usually choose bracelets or necklaces for girls. Rings have a special place inside."

Unsure if Charmaine is leaving TVB or not

Recently most of TVB's news are consider big, TVB Fadan Charmaine Sheh may not renew her contract after it expires because there is a Mainland company that invited her over for 15 million under a 2 year contract. It was rumored that the reason Charmaine is thinking of leaving TVB is because she has a rich man's pursuit in Mainland. Towards the rumors, Raymond expressed that he is unsure: "I only heard of Charmaine's news through the HK media at the events I attended in HK earlier, the details I am not sure. But, last year when I was shooting Flower Sister Flower World with Charmaine, we agreed on collaborating on another series this year. Lately because I've been on a busy schedule, I haven't been in touch with her." As to the changes within TVB executives? "Executive changes do not affect us artists much. Take me for example, my work schedule has already lined up to the end of this year, including my concert tour, Mandarin album, HK Coliseum concert in July and a new film in August. It can be said that there is no affect on me at all."

TVB has it's own value, not about the salary

In 2011, TVB is experiencing many changes in artists, many are no longer contracted with TVB like Sammul Chan and Wong He. Now there is even Charmaine Sheh who may leave too, for many the reason is because of TVB's salary issues. In the last few years, several TVB artists are often going out to Mainland to dig the gold, which explains that the Mainland salary is very attractive to TVB artists, is it because of the salary issues that so many are leaving? Raymond felt that it cannot be viewed like that: "Maybe TVB's salary does not compare to Mainland salaries, but every company has it's own value. The reason we have so many outside jobs is all because of TVB series that brought us the audience fate. Without this foundation, there will not be the us today. TVB actually had always took good care of us, and didn't limit us on outside jobs in Mainland, giving us lots of space. I feel that every person has this same thought, at least I feel that it's not about the salary." Raymond said he has had good collaborations and good relationship TVB, therefore he does not plan to leave.

[Oriental Daily] Also, Raymond will soon be releasing his debut Mandarin Album First (第一次) (on 3/4). Although he was very busy earlier working on series, movies and his concert tour, Raymond still insisted on setting time aside to record his new songs. Raymond is from Xiamen, so Mandarin is a language that he is familiar with and loves. For a very long time, Raymond had been longing to have his own Mandarin songs. His album includes a sexy photo book as well for fans to keep in collection.

Yoyo Mung and Kristal Tin have been in the entertainment circle for many years, but TVB series Only You is their first collaboration. With no past collaboration, even before the series started shooting, the two were already as compatible as ever during the costume fitting. Their friendship went thousand miles in a day. When they started shooting, the two had a common goal of playing jokes on the cast and crew, bringing laughter and pleasure for everyone.

Earlier the two met up at a seafood shop to buy goods. Already married and someone's wife, Kristal was quite skillful in her selections. The currently in love Yoyo, on the other hand, was looking up and down, left and right when trying to distinguish the different fish maws. This made Kristal laugh out loud. Then the two picked out abalone together, an experienced Kristal said: "Before I started eating as a vegetarian, I can easily cook up dishes serving 10 people with absolutely no problem. Abalone, ginseng, wings, tripes, I can do it all. My husband Chapman To is also a very good cook, but we can't eat together because we'll have disagreement, so its either him or me that cooks, otherwise there will definitely be an argument."

Yoyo's cooking skills are in the progress of improvement, she expressed that she is fortune that she has many friends, besides passing on their cooking experiences to her, they would give her a super deal on buying high quality goods, definitely a huge profit for her.

"Owe Her In The Past Life"

When speaking of their friendship that just clicked like that, Kristal laughed: "Ah Yo (Yoyo) appears like a woman on the surface, but in fact she's very much like a man! On the set, it was really dry for everyone, so we tried to make it fun! Though this is my first time working with her, but oddly we don't even need a warm up, we were already like this even before we started shooting. I probably owe her something in my past life." Yoyo said: "It wasn't that severe when we were shooting, it was later that we got more familiar. Our whole group were always very noisy on a daily basis, very happy!"

Will Aaron Kwok FuSing and rumored girlfriend Lynn Hung DaiLum tie the knot in 2011? Everyone is waiting and dying to know. The other day, though, Aaron unexpectedly revealed that he is already married! He laughed and said, "I married my work long ago; my first child was my (self-written) song, 脈搏 [Mai Bo] [Pulse]."

Aaron is 45 years this year; he celebrated his last birthday with Lynn. Everyone is expecting the couple to walk down the aisle this year. A few days ago, Aaron was interviewed by CEN's 音樂起義/Music Revolution. When asked when he would marry and have children, Aaron maneuvered expertly around the question and said only that he had married his work long ago and currently had no plans to walk down the aisle.

Admits That Singing is Terrible; Thanks Fans For Their Support

Aaron has been in the business for 20 years already; last year, he released a commemorative album. He admitted frankly that he had become a singer mainly because the market was, at the time, fairly empty: "I'm not someone who was born to be a singer. I also wasn't born wanting to be a singer. Instead, I've had to work on it a lot to improve my own singing and singing techniques. He laughed and said, "It's amazing-- my singing is terrible, and yet my fans still support me!"(1)

To commemorate his 20 years in the industry, Aaron tried his hand at writing for the first time; the end result was 脈搏 [Mai Bo] [Pulse]. The song was very well-received by fans, a fact which has strengthened Aaron's passion and determination. He hopes that he will be able to write more songs in the future. When the host of the program asked him which song, over these 20 years, had made the deepest impression on him, Aaron laughed and said, "That would definitely have to be 對你愛不完 [Dui Ni Ai Bu Wan] [Endless Love For You]. If it wasn't for this song, there would be no 'Aaron Kwok.'(2) This song has grown with me!"

(1) Here, Aaron doesn't mean to belittle his fans in any way. It may sound that way in English-- or come across that way to anyone who wasn't brought up in a very traditional Chinese way, but actually, this is pretty standard: being very humble, even self-deprecating. Aaron's statement is actually more one of awe and gratefulness and graciousness.
(2) This song is easily Aaron's most famous song. It established him as a singer and made him widely popular-- even though it was in Mandarin Chinese (as opposed to Cantonese).
