Shirley Yeung Denies Buying Marriage Jewellery

2009-12-31T16:34:00.000+11:00

The gameshow《逐格鬥》hosted by I Love You Boyz, Carol Cheng hosted a blessing ceremony and was filming last night in TVB City. The guests included Kikki Sheung, Shirley Yeung, Wong Ka Lok and Samantha Ko. It was reported earlier that Shirley was looking for baby clothes, as well as jewellery for marriage. Accused of being pregnant and immediately getting married to Gregory Lee, Shirley revealed that there was no such thing, and it was because her brother is becoming a dad for the second time, that's why she went to have a look at baby clothes and jewellery. She smiles: "Thank you everyone for caring so much, but I'm not pregnant and nor do we have such a plan." (Is it because your boyfriend has not proposed to you?) "Not talking about this, but a happy event occuring within the family is a good thing!"

When asking when Shirley was to get married, she smiles and says that she will not say, but reveals that she has received a lot of phone calls from friends asking if she was getting married or not, so she thought it was very funny. It was also further asked whether Gregory's dad Lee Ka Ding was pressuring them into getting married? Shirley says: "No, he knows what's happening. Just let everything occur naturally. We're just focusing on work now."

Shirley Yeung & Mum Go Shopping For Jewellery

2009-12-29T18:32:00.005+11:00

In order to continue dating Gregory Lee, the 31 year old Shirley Yeung was willing to be frozen by her company; falling from a leading fa dan to '3 line' actress. However, like a normal girl, Shirley always carried a "heart wanting to marry". Furthermore, it was discovered that Shirley secretly went with her mum to jewellers to shop for Dragon-Phoenix bangles, and then looking at baby clothes in the shopping centre. It looks as if as if she's preparing for next year's "happy event"!

Wearing a feather jacket with a pair of jeans, Shirley and her mum went to eat a meal at a 'cha chaan teng'. Afterwards, the two hurried off into a jewellery shop choosing her bridal dowry. It seemed as if Shirley was quite interested in the Dragon-Phoenix bangles, and even asked the shop assistant if there were any other kinds she could have a look at. A few mainland tourists noticed it was Shirley, and asked: "Are you getting married?" Shirley looked embarrassed and turned away.

Following that, Shirley and her mum went into a baby store, and although known for being frugal, she bought a few baby clothes. It was asked if Shirley was preparing her bridal dowry? Why was she buying baby clothes? Was she getting married because of parental guidance? She held back and denied such issues, and explained the fact that the baby clothes were for her friend.

A Heart Wanting To Marry... Not

2009-12-26T18:33:00.001+11:00

Women say they need to get married before they reach the age of 30, and its time to get married when they've dated a boyfriend for 7 years, or its better to have a child early..... but it's all the in the eyes of their parents, relatives, and even reporters.

Over the age of 30, Shirley Yeung and Gregory Lee have dated for 7 years, and thus many people have recently rushed them to get married.

"Before entering the entertainment industry, I did think I would marry before I reach 30. However, afterwards I realised there are many things which I cannot control. Your plans may not go as you plan! Don't say next year, even things you've planned next month or in the upcoming 4 or 5 months can change. I do not dare to think about it once it's changed! For these few years, I have been concentrating on work, I'm not going to think about other things." This answer is very similar to what Charmaine Sheh had given few months ago.

After becoming an actress, Shirley's standard in life is higher than yours or mine. With her first job as an artiste, she encountered her most loved within a short period once entering the entertainment circle. Her career has also been on a high-rise, so therefore people who rush her into marriage is something very natural. Shirley's situation is "the king's not worried but the eunuch is".

Shirley has always been quite simply with family plans. In recent years, many people have said that the entertainment circle is not suitable for people like Shirley with that particular personality. On the day of the interview, Shirley was met with traffic problems so she was late half-an-hour. Her first reaction was like a child apologising to a teacher. However, when taking photos of her, she was like a young girl jumping up and down; her smile was brilliant. A girl like her, what type of family plans does she have? "I haven't thought about it, and it's quite hard to have such plans. When time comes, it'll all come naturally, so there is no need to waste time thinking about it now."

Plans To Have Children
"I have thought about [having children] though. However, the only limit is not becoming a high-age pregnant woman. Though, I'm not going to have children now." The entertainment circle is brutal - they like comparing the guy and girl's family. A working example is Louis Cheung and Kay Tse, and Gregory and Shirley will not be spared.

"There is not much 'waves' [being with Gregory]. They're mainly outsiders making comments, but there isn't much effect on us. We're not going to let other people affect us. Gregory's parents treat me well, it's OK."

"Now I need to work for my family. I need to earn more money so I could provide them a better life! They have spent many years caring and looking after me, so I need to think about them."

Up until now, Shirley has not appeared on the covers of much magazines due to rumours. "I'm not the type of person who has said a particular phrase that makes it on the cover page. If I'm sure about particular news, I won't say too much about it. I've focused mainly on filming series these few years."

"The entertainment circle probably only needs those type of news. On the other hand, those normal or those who speak in a simple, straightforward way do not draw any fasination. It's like they need to "first take one's gold", but I'm not that type of person. I will firstly be myself; I'm not going to care about disputes, rumours or bad-terms - place it on the side!"

Although saying so, Shirley's sexy figure is one of the discussions of many people. "I'm not very aware if people are paying attention to me. Probably because I'm small, and my figure is quite petite, but I don't think it's anything special. At the end of the day, if I've got a job, I'm going to do it well."

A winner of the Miss Hong Kong pageant who has won the most awards in history, is like that. She is well-behaved, modest and loved by those with power in TVB.

"If the series requires me to dress very sexy, I can accept that, so its OK. If its for another cause, then I don't know if I could. However, I will discuss with them and see if anything else could be arranged. In terms of shows, those are prepared for your by the designers of the company!" (It's not important to be more sexy?) "The company will know how the audience will react once it airs, so I'm not worried."

Although Shirley may have a "petite" figure, her apetite is quite big, and loves to eat durian. "I don't need to say anything as you can see my pimples, hahahaha! I've tried to hold myself back, but I have a lot of work to do, or stress I cannot control. Eating is my biggest relaxation, ease and also a stress relief. So I'll worry about it after I eat!"

"Whenever I eat durian I will get pimples, so poisonous - but it's so tasty! Its more OK when it's frozen like icecream. I really like eating it. Once I can smell durian I would really want to eat it, I can't control myself!"

Many years after Shirley took home the winning title. Shirley is Szeki Mui. 2nd runner-up Heidi Chu (right) is now a host. 1st runner-up Gigi Chung is nowhere to be seen.

"A Chip Off The Old Block" has been criticised for plagiarising other stories. Though, Shirley's life belief is: do every job well.

"Doing a few of these helps. I don't do much exercise myself. There are parts where it was extremely hard to get skinny. If you're helping someone else advertise a product, you cannot be too fat!"

Shirley with Gregory during "Blade Heart". Forget what the storyline was, but remember horse riding instructor Lee Ka Ting.

"The year I graduated from the Institute of Education, I did apply for a few government jobs. However, the week I applied for Miss Hong Kong, there was news saying that I would be part of the competition. They also asked me to sign a contract as Miss Hong Kong contestants need to perform duties. If they had contacted me earlier, I would've probably went back to teacher. It was quite funny, but that was life."

Shirley has been in the entertainment circle for 8 years now. In terms of awards, she won the "Most Improved Actress" and "Best Supporting Actress" in 2004 and 2006 respectively. However, there still seems to be distance to the "Best Actress" award. "It's hard to force yourself. Just let everything come naturally. If others see that you have tried, they will take notice of you. Then, your acting will be confirmed and thus, award you. I won't insist on the award, but it doesn't mean that I'm not making progress nor not striving for it."

"At the moment I'm happy that I have received an international award. It was due to filming 'Women With Dreams III" and I portrayed a sight-impaired girl. It was quite a challenge, and I haven't tried that before. The uniform I wore was quite similar to my old school's, the feeling was really good! I would have never guessed that due to that I would receive the 'Most Outstanding Actor' award at the 42nd Chicago International TV Awards. The director also told me that no Chinese person has won the award in the past 5 years, so that award was unforgettable!"

My Name Is Shirley
Eric Tsang had orginally called Shirley "Szeki Jie", but Shirley thought she shouldn't have such a similar name to her elder "Sze Kei Jie". Therefore, she would be called "Szeki Mui" and this name continued till now.

"On the streets, many children would call me Szeki Mui, so funny! I remember a mum saying: 'You should call her Szeki Jie Jie, she's so much older than you!' However, the children couldn't change it, which shows how much impact TVB has."

Shirley also has an english name, Shirley. "Very little people know this name. People will call me that when I'm overseas or attending an english class during school. My mum had given me that name when I was born. Shirley Kwan is also called Shirley, and Shirley Yeung is called that too! And I love their songs! Hahaha!"

"I have seen Sze Kei Jie, she is the princess of Hong Kong. When she was young, she was very beautiful and had many qualities. She was also refined and gentle. She is an elder with manners!"

I believe, once Szeki Mui becomes Szeki Jie, she can also tell her children: "When I was young, I was very beautiful, had many qualities, was also refined and gentle, and has manners...."

Shirley Yeung Wears Revealing Clothes On Cold Day

2009-12-19T09:44:00.011+11:00

To welcome to Christmas festival, the cast of "A Chip Off The Old Block" appeared on the Street Of Early Republic Of China to "remember the past Christmas party". Each member of the cast also arrived dressed up as a classic figure; Myolie Wu pretended to be Audrey Hepburn, Shirley was Marilyn Monroe, and Ron Ng was James Dean. There was also a dance competition, and the one who had the most star stickers stuck on them won. As a result, it was Louis Yuen who had his face all covered up with stickers.

Shirley dressed up quite revealing immediately stole the limelight, as the weather that day was quite cold. It was so cold that she had a runny nose, so when she was asked if she was worried she will get sick? She smiles: "It'll be alright once I drink something hot. My first time pretending to be Monroe was quite interesting, because my mouth is already big, but I still needed to draw it bigger." (Needed to add a spot?) "An even greater woman's taste!" If there was a chance for Shirley to pretend to be someone else, she hopes she can be Madonna. She also reveals that her mum went to Taiwan for a holidays for a few days, so she hopes this Christmas she is able to receive more jobs to fill it for it, but also wishes that her jobs continue to New Year.

Ron Ng Clarifies That Shirley Yeung & Sammul Chan Are Not On Bad Terms

2009-12-07T21:29:00.004+11:00

Ron Ng and Shirley Yeung attended a X'mas Fanta Sea function at the Metro City Plaza yesterday and other guests included the Hong Kong Olympic Surfing Gold Medalist Lee Lai Shan and husband Wong Tak Sum. Ron and Shirley's "A Chip Off The Old Block" recently sired and this week's top rating was above 30 points, making the two very happy. However, there has been criticism saying that the series had copied the classic "Old Time Buddy". Ron reveals that they did not do so, the subject matter is just similar and is a relaxing comedy. Shirley says: "There has been very little series based on the 60s, so I have been watching myself. Now there are people calling me 'Fen Nu' (character's name)". (You have scenes where you have to take your clothes off?) "It is needed for the storyline".

There has been recent reports that when Shirley was filming "The Comeback Family", she was on bad terms with Sammul Chan. Asking Ron is Shirley is hard to work with? He supports her and says: "She is the female actress that I have worked with the most and so I do not think she is hard to work with. I have also worked with Sammul a number of times, they are both easy to work with. Therefore, it is hard for the two to be on bad terms with one another. It probably just a misunderstanding." (Is it easier for Sammul to work with male actors?) "He's always been easy to work with, being on bad terms with other people is just a rumour." Shirley also states that they have eaten dinner altogether when everyone has finished filming. Although they have not seen each other recently, it probably due to the fact that he is filming in the Mainland.

Sunny also says that this was his best series in his recent years of acting.

As for the female lead Myolie, she reveals that although their series is following "Beyond", it is also faced with a long holiday break, so the time slot is not too good and thus, the ratings will definitely be affected. She says: "When a series is airing, actors do not have a choice."

Shirley Yeung Admires American Dramas & Actors

2009-09-03T12:41:00.000+10:00

When Miss Hong Kong winner Shirley Yeung is doing an exclusive interview with Wangyi, she reveals that her favourite American drama is "Sex and the City", but also enjoys "Friends". She believes that those series are worth watching: "the atmosphere with America dramas are very natural, which are probably aided through the use different camera angles. As for Hong Kong dramas, their way of emphasising issues are more dramatic. The facial expressions of Hong Kong actors need to be more exaggerated, for example, you must express your pain of headaches greatly, but this is all too obvious. I hope that Hong Kong dramas will learn from American dramas."

Shirley says that in "Sex and the City", American women/girls are very different to women/girls in Hong Kong, and as for "Friends" which is very funny, is very worthwhile to watch.

As for American dramas that are only aired once a week, makes Shirley admire the American actors very much "because they are able to research their role in great detail. For example, if the role needs to ride horses, there is actually time allowed for actors to learn; but its very different in Hong Kong - sometimes you will only know what your role is the week before."

Shirley Yeung Injures Herself In High School Leaving Her Cripple For 2 Months

2009-05-30T12:24:00.001+10:00

Miss Hong Kong Shirley Yeung has already left school days, but feelings for her mother school remain. This is because she started her education at this school when she was 6 years of age, and even injured herself playing sport. Beginning from Year 1 of primary school, Shirley studied at Kowloon's Maryknoll Fathers School until she graduated in Form 7.

Looking back 13 years at school, her most memorable incident was injuring herself while competiting in a basketball competition: "While at school, I played basketball and ping pong. In Form 5 there was a basketball competition and I broke my foot which was quite serious. My whole foot swell up and needed to use cruches for 2 months, and even until now it is an old injury! It was very painful back then, I usually took 15 minutes to walk a path, but after the injury, it took me an extra hour! It was a very memorable Form 5, because of this sports injury and affected my mood during exams."

At school, her school marks were passable, but in the area of sports, she was very athletic sportstar. Shirley even represented the school in outer competitions in basketball and ping pong. However, mentioning times in school, especially lunch times: "Every day eating lunch, I can go with a group of friends to a close noodle shop to eat. It was really happy!"

Shirley Yeung Keeps A Good Figure & Maintains Status As Slimming Spokesperson Big Sister

2009-05-16T12:23:00.000+10:00

With a devil's figure, Shirley Yeung has always been asked to do numerous swimsuit jobs, earning her much money in a year. However, Shirley says that she is not afraid of being threatened, and even continued her contact as the spokesperson for a slimming company - maintaining her status as big sister.

Running out infront with "young face big breasts", Shirley has always held down other fa dans, and became the big sister of swimsuit functions. However, in the recent year there are numerous models like Chrissie Chow and Wylien Chiu who use their figure as their selling point, stealing many swimsuit jobs. As for other models emerging, Shirley does not feel threatended. Very calm, she says: "Most important it to maintain it well. The market for models and artistes are quite different; models have alot of photoshoots and catwalk functions, whereas we aim to promote, so it's hard to compare."

Nevertheless, Shirley has kept an eye out for "competitors", and even openly prasied Chrisse. She says: "Her figure is really good". (Recently, her slimming advertisement was very hot, are you afraid there will be comparisons?) "Every slimming company will find the girl that suits them the best, its a friendly competition."

As the spokesperson for a slimming company, Shirley had already taken a few photoshoots, which includes a bikini top with shorts, a X-shaped swimsuit, a waist-revealing red night gown, a blue glittery dress and ten more other looks.

Shirley expresses that she was very satisfied with the result, and reveals that the night gown was specially designed. During the photoshoot, Shirley was worried that her stomach will show, so she was willing to starve herself for that moment. She explains: "After eating, you will see my stomach, so even though we filmed for 10 or more hours, I didn't dare eat anything. Though, most of the time its eat little in many meals, but in some areas, like arms or stomach fat will need the help of the slimming company." Lastly, Shirley also revealed that last year's hard-work earned her a six-figure sum.

2009-03-31T12:19:00.000+11:00

Yesterday, Ron Ng, Shirley Yeung and Sunny Chan appeared at a goldfish store in Sai Wan (Western District) to film a kissing scene for the new series "The Truth Of Father Him". Ron also brought along his sickness to film his kissing scene with Shirley. Shirley laughs that she is afraid that there are more germs than a "salty pork mouth", but as for Ron, he wipes his mouth after kissing Shirley.

Before the scene, both artistes ate gum to maintain a taste of freshness in their mouths. Recently, there have been many reports about a "salty pork hand" . However, Shirley is not worried at all. Ron says: "There are so many neighbours and reporters at the scene. No matter what angle or how it is filmed, it is all up to the directors decision. We have already finished discussing this issue, so we are not afraid of people saying anything."

Ron and Shirley's kiss lasted almost a whole minute, making bystanders watch in great interest. Although the two are professionals, they only took one take and completed the scene. Unfortunately the camera suddenly ran out of batteries so they were forced to film the scene again.

After the camera stopped rolling both times, Ron immediately used his hands to wipe his mouth when the kiss finished. He laughs: "Shirley's lip are too awesome! Her lip gloss is so thick." Ron also revealed that he brought his sickness to work: "A few days early I had gastroenteritis and within a day, I needed to go toilet over 20 times. Therefore, I had no choice but to go to the doctors and had a needle injected in me. Now I am feeling much better." Shirley heard and immediately comments: "Wow! Why didn't you tell me? Is it contagious? Luckily my immune system is good, so I don't think anything will happen."

Shirley reveals that she must constantly chew on gum throughout the series, making her teeth gums all sore and loose: "In the series, I am a superwoman. I kissed Ron the first time I saw him, I have a lot of guts!"

As Nancy Sit has been unwell with pancreatitis and gastritis, Shirley says that she had saw reports earlier and is extremely worried. She says: "I worked with Nancy in my first ever series. Not long ago, we filmed "The Silver Chamber Of Sorrows", so we have kept in contact." Once Shirley realised that Nancy's fans organised a birthday party for her, she immediately agreed to attend. Shirley also urged to Nancy to avoid working too hard: "I know she will try her very best to keep filming, but I hope she will remember to take a rest whenever she can and take care of herself."

2009-03-19T12:17:00.000+11:00

Yesterday, Shirley Yeung arrived at Tsim Sha Tsui to attend the "2009 TV Next Awards" ceremony. Up against other sexy fa dans, Shirley wore a low-cut dress and sucessfully stole the limelight, becoming the most sexy female star on the night. However, there was an obvious mark left by her bra, which meant that it was quite tight for her. Shirley took home a sponsorship award that night, which was the "RMK High Definition Skin Award".

Once a group of the cast from "Moonlight Resonance" went onstage to receive their award, Shirley went too. Unfortunately, others did not quite recognise her role within the series as the younger version Hor Ma. Shirley says: "My scenes were very small, but I was very happy that I could take part in this series."

2009-03-16T12:16:00.000+11:00

TVB's new series "The Truth Of Father Him" was filming a ballet dance scene with Shirley Yeung. TVB arranged her to wear a 1960's ballet dress, but the size was too small for Shirley. Known to have a tight-bursting body figure, Shirley had some difficulties breathing, she said with no choice: "The dress is like for children, I couldn't put it on, fortunately in the end I was able to do it and I'm like a White Swan, so pretty!"

As Shirley only had dancing scenes that day, she did not have an preparations and she even did many difficult movements, she said: "Fortunately I often practice, the instructor told me to do a split, I was only able to barely do it, but using my toes to spin my body around is quite hard for me. I respect the workers that does ballet." Also, in the series she will often yell at Ron Ng because it usually hurts her voice, after work she would not talk too much.

Shirley had filmed with Ellesmere Choi [rumoured to be the "Salty Pork Hand"]. She said she had seen Ellesmere did magic before. Shirley didn't know whether Ellesmere used the magic to attract women or not. In addition, Lai Lok Yi was another person who know how to play magic. But, she said Lai Lok Yi was not ther person who involved this rumour. As for Myolie Wu, she never met the "Salty Pork Hand" before. Mentioned about the victim, Sonija Kwok being involved in this rumour, Myolie said if she was the victim she will hit his leg at once. However, Myolie said we must clearly know what happened now before doing anything. You just can't blame any person who are the person who are molesting the women. Myolie said the most useful weapon to face the "Salty Pork Hand" was the leg. She said it was good to report to the police. Mentioned about Ellesmere and Joe were among the rumoured "Salty Pork Hand". Myolie was befriended with Ellesmere and Joe for many years and she did not see them playing magic.

Mentioned about "Salty Pork Hand", Ron Ng said I am that person who did such bad things to the women as I do not know how to play magic and cook. For Joe, Ron said he definitely not involved this rumour as he did not know how to play magic. He hoped the female victims can able to speak out loud to tell other people about this. Or else this will affect TVB male actors' reputation and image.

No Rumours Between Shirley Yeung & Ron Ng

2009-01-13T12:14:00.000+11:00

Yesterday, new series "The Truth Of Father Him" held its blessing ceremony on the Street Of Early Republic Of China. Ron Ng, Myolie Wu, Shirley Yeung, Sunny Chan and many other cast appeared in 1930s clothing at this event.

Myolie wore an wig and this is her first time playing a flirty woman where she goes around cheating money off men. Moreover, she has a number of roles in this series, such as a nurse, maid, assistant and personal security guard, etc. Myolie will also have to sacrifice her looks, enlarging her breasts and wearing sexily pyjamas. She expresses that she has seen old cantonese films to learn more, but, she has been in the series "Scavenger´s Paradise", so she has definitely gained some experience.

Shirley Yeung appeared in a "maid" look yesterday, but she says that she is girl that sells beef rice noodle at a dai pai dong. Her character loves to defend against injustice, and likes to chase after people - being extremely rough. Shirley has portrayed similar roles before, she smiles that this time she needn't dress all pretty and wear nice clothes. (Are you afraid that this will be your signature role?) "No, I believe this role is very cute." In the series, Shirley will have kissing scenes with Ron, but seeing that Ron attracts alot of rumours and whereas Shirley has very little, is she afraid that Ron will 'break the ice'? She smiles: "No, I'm not worried." Reporters laugh that the chastity memorial arch won't even hold her. Little embarrassed, she asks: "What memorial arch? Hold what? It will hold the economy."

Shirley expresses that Ann is an elder, and being recieve comments and criticism from her is a rare opportunity - it's not a lesson as most people call it. Shirley smiles: "Maybe I have given people a deep impression of being frugal and this allowed Ann to teach me things. I'm just spending on what I need - being thrifty is a moral excellence. I want to earn more money so that my family can live a better life and it's also for my future."

Sze Ki Mui Wants To Approach Sze Kei Jie

2008-12-29T11:53:00.001+11:00

Love and career is balanced well for 2001 Miss Hong Kong winner, Shirley Yeung. She has been Gregory Lee for a number of years without their relationship changing and career-wise, she receives series after a series.

Recently, Shirley has been constantly promoting her new series “Pages Of Treasures”. It looks as if she has taken part in many activities, such as hosting, singing, stage dramas, etc; showing how true she is to her job. However, approaching 31 years of age, Shirley is a TVB fa dan so calling her “Sze Ki Jie” is appropriate – but she still smiles and says: “It’s Sze Ki Mui!” Not sure whether its because people have been calling her that for a long time, but Shirley believes that the distance between her and Louise Lee has been closer than before.

“Some of my friends play around and call me ‘Sze Ki Jie’, but when you ask me, my status isn’t that high to be called that. What’s funny about it is that I feel as if I’m closer to Sze Kei Jie, like pulling completely different people together. Unfortunately, we have never actually worked together before. The only time was in “Moonlight Resonance” where we played the same person. I hope there will be a series where she can play my mum, so the time I get to work with her will be longer. I think the feeling will be very cute.”

Shirley also reveals that she hopes to film a series set in the 60s or 70s period; like “Old Time Buddy” because this time period’s appearance gives her a feeling of the past, but sadly, she has not had the chance yet.

“If there is a chance, I would hope to work with Gallen Lo, because I often watch his series like “At The Threshold Of An Era” and “Cold Blood Warm Heart”. I want to learn even more acting skills from him, because its funny when he makes jokes.”

“I also want to work with Michelle Yim, she is awesome! She definitely has the skills to portray a villain really well. I remember the first time working with her was in “The Brink Of Law”, and it was also my first time as a villain!” (Aren’t you afraid that playing a villain will give the audience a negative feeling towards you?) “I have played a good, enthusiastic girl numerous times so I would like to try different roles. When I first took on a villain role, I have thought about the audience having a negative feeling towards me, but the result was very fresh and I received many comments – a surprised finish.”

Film series, movies, being a host and singing children songs, etc, Shirley has tried almost everything. When asked which her favourite part of her job is, after some thinking, she says: “Although I love filming series, but I actually want to try new things. Hope there is a chance to film movies again, where I have more screen time. Or maybe stage drama or opera, because this way I an approach an even broader audience. This really tests their reaction and is good experience to gain even more acting skills.”

In “Angels Of Mission”, there were rumours that Shirley was mistreated by Charmaine Sheh and Sonija Kwok. Now, Shirley once again collaborates with Sonija in “Pages Of Treasures”, do you feel that there are hard feelings between you to? “No, we’re all filming the same series. There aren’t much scenes with her, but when we see each other, we do greet one another. Maybe it was just for promotion, don’t need to believe everything, haha!”

In her new series “Pages Of Treasures”, Shirley will be fighting with Vivien for one guy. Shirley reveals that her character is very liberal, she won’t fight with others for something but at times, she can be a bit stubborn. Seeing how much pain Eric Suen is in having stuck in the middle, she had no choice but to give up on the relationship. When asked if in real life, she was this open-minded? Shirley says: “I’m actually not like that, because I believe you can balance anything. I think I might not be so liberal.”

It has been said that because Shirley and Gregory were “dating at a high-profile”, she was frozen by TVB. She laughs: “It wasn’t high-profile; it’s just the reporters focused on me too much! They always followed me, but since we’re more stable, they don’t need to care about me as much now, haha! I have always placed work as number one, but they seem to think I only care about dating – that’s not true, I am very serious about my work.”

When asked when the outer world wasn’t in favour of their relationship, Shirley expresses: “We both concentrate on our work because its very important to us. A lot of people in the circle are dating, so as long as it doesn’t affect work, then it’s alright.”

After competing in Miss Hong Kong, marrying into a wealthy family is the most obvious path. However, Shirley and Gregory’s relationship is obviously about the heart and not the money! “You cannot measure love with money. I would rather find a boyfriend who really cares about me. I don’t envy those who marry to rich people.” (You have been dating with Gregory for a number of years, when is it time to have a baby?) “Huh? We haven’t thought about that yet. I believe that I should put more time in my work, most important thing is to try my best.”

A little bit embarrassed, Shirley continues: “I will have a baby, but its something we have planned yet. It’s hard to talk about the future, its just that as for now, work is most important.”

In history, 2001 Miss Hong Kong winner Shirley Yeung won the most awards and entered the entertainment circle was her next resort. With her sweet smile and cute appearance, she quickly became of one of the many fa dans. As for the period where she was “frozen”, she was not “fired”, but received even more jobs – this allowed her to earn even more money and is the direct result of 7 years of hard work.

Recently, Shirley has become the spokesperson of many beauty products. At the anniversary, she wore a beautiful low-cut night gown and stole much of the limelight. “The dress was specially designed for me, it’s a bit sexy, but I won’t dress like that usually.” Shirley also says that being the image of being a spokesperson of beauty products is very healthy, and is not afraid of going down the ‘sexy’ road.

If she had to film a series where she was undisguised, Shirley would definitely say no. “If I had to dress sexily all the time, I don’t think so, because I cannot accept myself that way. I don’t think I will accept the chance to film “Lust, Caution”, haha! However, if they asked me to film a ghost movie – where I am a female ghost, I will be quite interested; for example, Hung Gu (Cherry Chung) and Chow Yun Fat in “The Phantom Bride”. I quite like these kind of bitter stories. Although I’m afraid of ghosts, but I don’t mind trying, haha!”

Speaking of filming, Shirley says that she would like to try whatever role, to challenge herself. She reveals that in her series “The Price Of Greed”, she is a mute girl and needs to perform sign language – ten times more harder than speaking; and she had to also learn sign language at the same time she was filming. “I’m very happy that I am portray a disabled person, because the chance doesn’t come very often. Therefore, when I found that I got the chance to play this role, I was very happy! Not only that, I also learnt another way of communication – when I used sign language to communicate with them, they are happy too. Definitely a very special feeling of accomplishment.”

When the smart and well-spoken Sze Ki Mui faces a heavy work load, she carries Ah Q’s spirit with her. She says: “Something’s might have to be done in a hurry – they tell you today and you will have to do it tomorrow. That way, I try to tell myself not to stress, or else I will ‘break the elastic’. In particular holding Ah Q’s spirit; which is using your heart to perform every task and because my ability to think things over must be strong, there should be time for each person to think over what they did wrong and start from there. For the parts you did well, keep that up.

Shirley also expresses that whenever every series first starts filming, it must be in a time period – maybe a few days or a week. This allows each person to slowly enter their role, but you will also have to quickly leave it too: “You must think of a way or tell yourself to leave the character. As for me, once we finish filming, I am able leave it straight away. After we finish filming a scene where I need to cry, I simply tell myself that this is a sad thing.”

A new year is coming, what resolutions does Shirley have? “Just focus on my job, and try different things – like film an every broad range of drama or host different programs/shows. When I’m not so busy, I hope to take more time off to eat dinner with my family. Tranquil is luck!”

Shirley Yeung: No Marriage Plans Yet

2008-12-25T21:13:00.004+11:00

Shirley Yeung is happily in love, but marriage is still not on the cards for Hong Kong actress Shirley Yeung, 31. Reports have romantically linked the bubbly, sweet-looking actress with ex-child actor Gregory Lee since 2004.

She told The New Paper: "I feel very comfortable about it. I am dating, and I don't want to hide it. Also, I think dating doesn't affect my work, and is separate from it. I'm very focused on my work. Anyway, I'm happy that audiences accept it [that I'm dating]."

However, she has no plans to get married. She explained: "I think society is more accepting of people who marry later."Although she remains coy about future plans, she waxed lyrical about her relationship: "We can support and comfort each other, when one of us is unhappy or frustrated."

Last month, Shirley was spotted having supper with Gregory around midnight in a dessert shop in Kowloon. Perhaps she shared with him her experience on the set of "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows", where she plays a kind-hearted servant girl who is later discovered to have a special connection to the family.

In particular, Shirley had to film a scene on a set with about 100 frogs, "some real, some fake". The actress, who has a phobia of frogs, said: "After completing those scenes, my voice was hoarse from screaming. My reaction was genuine." She added that she even wore extra layers under her clothing "to create more of a barrier" from the frogs.

"When I was little, my mother took me to a wet market. There, a man was slaughtering some frogs and the blood splashed onto me."

Shirley, Eric Suen and Vivien Yeo will be involved in a love triangle in the new series "Pages Of Treasures". Simple-minded Shirley reveals that she has never encounted such situation, she says: "Three people in one relationship is too confusing - having two women after one man. I would rather let go." Shirley hopes that her boyfriend is as simple as her, she smiles: "It's actually quite hard to deal with partners, having to hide this and that, as well as organising time. You have to really caring and attentive."

Luckily, Shirley already has a thoughtful boyfriend but she will be working this Christmas and New Year. She states: "I think I will be working, the situation these days aren't so good, so it's good when you have jobs."

Recently, Shirley has been busy filming the program "Tips For Home Decoration". Chin Ka Lok would always pretend to be someone when interviewing the owners of a house. Seeing messy houses renovated beyond recognition, she would also like to try!

Shirley says: "Hope that it is a healthy competition between TVB and ATV. With the presence of competition comes about a great effort and determination. I support TVB with all my heart and confidence."

Paul Chun who entered into the entertainment industry for a long time and he also says: "I knew ATV had faced a lot of problems a few years back. These recent years ATV had incurred many expenses plus the production ATV produced had not been fond or liked by the public. This does not relate about all the ratings about TVB. ATV had recently filmed two series too." When asked about the event relating to fire workers in TVB company, he also adds that: "It is common to do that as we all know about economic financial crisis. This was just a cycle and everything must be done in order to face any problems like the crisis."

On the other hand, Shirley mentioned that most of the artistes had contacts with each other during Christimas time, but this year maybe due to the economic financial crisis, she had accepetd many jobs last few years. Therefore, this year, she had only temporarily received another job during Christimas Eve and she promised she will accept as many jobs as possible during these days.

Shirley Yeung Relies On Michelle Yim To Take On Villainous Role

2008-11-29T15:30:00.001+11:00

In order to promote upcoming series "The Brink Of Law", Ron Ng and Shirley Yeung recently flew over to Malaysia specially for this function. Ron reveals that its quite rare for him to finish watching a series but because "Brink" was such an amazing series and is a drama in which his role experiences much internal struggle, he had finished watching it all. This series was Shirley's first time playing a villainous role and she says that her character's heart is very small and narrow and therefore, will do anything for the benefit of herself.

"There are times where my villainous look and expression isn't done well, but luckily there is the experienced Michelle Yim there to advise me and this allowed me to successfully portray this role making so many the audience loving yet hating me." Shirley smiles that if there is another chance, she would like to play a villain again and will not state which artistes she would like to work with, just letting things be naturally.

Having played an evil role before, Ron expresses that it's because of a good script - he doesn't mind playing whichever role because actors should not be limited. Ron and Shirley will be in a new series together which starts filming in January. This new series is about going back to the future and other cast include Sunny Chan and Myolie Wu. There is also a chance that Shirley will be playing Ron's mum!

Every actor would hope that receiving awards will encourage them to do even better. However, Ron believes that it is fate between awards and the artiste and have always been waiting to receive good scripts like "Heart Of Greed" and "Moonlight Resonance". He also says that every actor should do their very best in whatever script they receive and shouldn't force themselves to film series in order to win awards.

Shirley takes Michelle as an example, waiting 40 years to receive the "Best Actress" award, because she believes that as long as she does her best in every series, that the audience will soon realise how hard she is trying. Shirley expresses that her upcoming jobs is like taking a vacation. Other than filming travelling programs, she has been flying to different countries for promotion and says that her new series "Pages Of Treasures" will soon be airing in December - other cast include Eric Suen, Vivien Yeo, etc.

[Lee] Sze Kei & [Yeung] Sze Kei Cannot Pass "Love" Stage

2008-11-23T15:27:00.002+11:00

Although the two are not from the same generation, but Louise Lee and Shirley Yeung are both winners from a beauty pageant. Recently the two meet again playing the same role but different ages in "Moonlight Resonance". They both have different views on fame and fortune but one thing they do have in common, is being faithful in love. Women of which ever age will always be an enemy with the word "love".

Louise and Shirley reveal that they both entered the industry through a beauty pageant. Louise was 1968's "Hong Kong Princess", whereas Shirley was 2001's "Miss Hong Kong". Previously in "Moonlight", the producer saw similarities within the two and decided to ask Shirley to play Louise's younger version in the series. At first Louise was against this idea: "I have asked by the produce choose Sze Kei Mui? I think for one, she does not look like me - she is very petite. Also, I am a northener." Moreover, Shirley had always praised Louise for being very beautiful when she was young.

Since they are beautiful women, they will have pursuers. Louise talks about when she was young: "There used to be alot of guys who would chase after after but I didn't choose any of them because I only wanted someone who was truly kind to me. My mum wouldn't allow me to date either, and would tell me to see a few more others before deciding. However, I insisted being with a poor doctor, because before I married, my ex-husband's family had financial troubles, but I thought this guy was well-educated and treated me really well. I am not an inconsistent woman, in mandarin it's called 'dead heart eye'." As a result, Louise had to face two failed marriages.

You can say that through her experiences, Shirley can sympathise. Her mother had once tried "separate mandarin ducks" - forcing Shirley to break up with Gregory Lee. She explains that: "My mum never disagreed, but she definitely did remind me during school. Luckily in the end, she allowed me to develop relationships freely. I have always kept my relationships on a low-key and there was never alot guys who had pursued after me - even though I had alot of guy friends, they would discover my standpoint very quickly and therefore, we would not take a step further."

Sze Kei Jie has been in the entertainment circle for over 30 years and sees fame and fortune very faintly. Last year she took the title as "Best Actress" and rumors also followed. She says: "Last year they said that Suzanna Kwan and I did not get along. This year they say that I told on Raymond Lam to the executives, why would I do that? People do things while God watches, he can be my son! So starting from next year, I decided that I will not take part in the awards ceremony, and hope to give more chances to other people."

Louise's personality is that she cries out when there is injustice, whereas Shirley's is rather delicate - she will not make a voice when she is being teased. Louise laughs: "I believe she will get teased by others!" Embarrassed, Shirley explains: "From a very young age, my mum taught me to never say random things, if you do not understand, don't pretend that you do - you must listen carefully to what one says. Of course there are times when I am unhappy, I cry alot but after crying, everything will be okay because I have the support of family and friends."

Louise's daughter currently resides in Canada - mother and daughter separated on two completely different land and when she knows that Shirley and her family are living together, she says: "Shirley is such a nice girl, but because my daughter is not living with me, and if anything happens to her, I don't even know. However, I know that she is a very direct person and like me, she will make a sound if something wrong." Shirley will also treat her family with the greatest respect and care and is willing to give her complete income to her mother. She smiles: "Many people say that I am too frugal, but I only spend when I should. I don't mind supporting my family financially at all, when my family is happy, then I'm happy."

When Sze Kei Jie and Sze Kei Mui first meet, they are like old friends. However, who would've guessed that not only does Louise admire Shirley being a filial daughter and how pretty she is, but thinks her "child's voice" is very unique. Louise says: "Every person knows how to sing, but in order to entice people, you will need a very unique appeal. I really admire Shirley's voice - its extremely pure and the feeling I get from Shirley is a bit like Faye Wong's."

TVB 41st Anniversary Extravaganza

2008-11-19T13:29:00.002+11:00

TVB celebrated its 41st birthday this evening with the annual Anniversary Extravaganza and proceedings were opened in the traditional way with an appearance and lighting up ceremony by the station's founder Sir Run Run Shaw, assisted by MCs and "big sisters" Liza Wang and Carol Cheng.

101-year old Sir Run Run then retired to the audience with wife Mona Fong and board director Mrs Christina Lee to enjoy the entertainment laid on by over a hundred of his artistes and performers. Miss Hong Kong winners Edelweiss Cheung and Sire Ma also kept him company throughout the evening.

The show was opened by a parade featuring all of the artistes, who were dressed in a variety of Chinese and Western period costumes to take part in a traditional ballroom dance.

One of the more unusual acts during the evening was by Timmy Hung's group, consisting of Stephen Wong, Francois Huynh , Sharon Luk and Lee Heung Kam. Each artiste took it in turn to use a trampoline to jump up and write a calligraphy character on a high board. Their creation formed the greeting "Like the sun at high noon", representing TVB's current success. Former stuntman Eric Tsang gallantly took the place of Kam to put up the last piece of the message - a birthday candle.

Liza continued her string of modern dance performances,this time joining Ron Ng, Nancy Wu, Michael Tse and Kate Tsui for a hip-hop routine and the veteran seemed to be just as active and full of vitality as her juniors, vigorously shaking her body during the act.

The comedy element was provided by the cast members of this year's most popular drama "Moonlight Resonance", including Lee Si Kei, Susanna Kwan, Ha Yu, Michelle Yim, Raymond Lam, Moses Chan and Bosco Wong who were joined by Eric, Charmaine Sheh, Myolie Wu and Christine Ng for the anniversary sketch. As usual, the script was soon thrown out of the window and a lot of chaos, messiness and improvisation ensued, but everyone had a good time and many laughs were had. Ha Yu, Raymond and Wayne Lai had prepared for the worst by wearing raincoats, but with the mischievous Eric soon found a way to make sure that they were both splattered with cream cake.

Falling victim to Eric's pranks twice, Susanna laughed afterwards that she was not upset and was game for a laugh because everyone was having so much fun. She was relieved that her sponsored jewellery had escaped being damaged by the cream.

Master impersonators Louis Yuen, Johnson Lee and Wong Cho Lam paid tribute to the late Lydia Sum, re-enacting her iconic performance with the other TVB "Golden Flowers".

Among this year's lucky winners of the Anniversary Bonus were Charmaine, who won HK$25,000 and Shirley Yeung, taking second prize of HK$50,000. The top prize of HK$120,000 went to a very shocked and ecstatic Grace Wong.

In this climax to the anniversary month celebrations, the ladies made the most of the opportunity to show off their sponsors' jewellery. Leading the way in terms of value was Si Kei, who wore a set of rubies and diamonds worth HK$40 million. Liza displayed a set of jewellery worth HK$20 million that included an unusual pear shaped diamond ring, worth HK$8.5 million on its own. Her hosting partner Carol modelled a set of rubies weighing in a total of 41 carats and worth HK$18 million. She said that she had arranged her outfit with Liza in advance and had agreed that they will both wear celebratory red to resemble two big lucky packets.

After wowing the crowds with her revealing dress at the anniversary awards ceremony, Sonija Kwok's outfit seemed a lot more reserved. She explained that the last outfit was already her limit in terms of sexiness. Wearing sponsored jewellery to the value of HK$20 million, Sonija was asked about recent reports that she has been dating a Raymond Lam-lookalike. She said that the person in the pictures was a friend and she was not dating. She then asked for the press not to disturb him because he is not from showbiz circles.

Still playing along with the rumours, Charmaine was arranged to perform with rumoured boyfriend Kevin Cheng and the couple seemed very relaxed during their duet. She showed off jewellery worth HK$11.4 million.

Jewellery worn by Myolie Wu totalled HK$11.3 million and Fala Chen and Sharon Chan also received sponsorships worth several million dollars. Susanna's diamond set was not quite as valuable as Si Kei's or Liza's, but was still extremely eyecatching.

The evening was rounded off by the cutting of a giant birthday cake by Mrs Li as the executives joined the artistes in raising a glass to the next 12 months.

2009 TVB Sales Presentation Held

2008-11-12T15:10:00.008+11:00

The first of this year's TVB red carpet anniversary events took place this evening at TVB City as the station's artistes gathered in their fineries for the 2009 TVB Sales Presentation. In this preview event for prospective sponsors and advertising clients to take a peek at the forthcoming series and planned productions, the station also took the opportunity to showcase some of its artistes and the strength of its drama franchises.

Hosted by TVB General Manager Stephen Chan and Amigo Chui, this year's show featured dance performances from the "Moonlight Resonance" and "The Gem Of Life" cast members and a show of muscles from a group of TVB's leanest and meanest male artistes. In the usual tradition to check on their status standings within the company, much attention was paid to the order in which the artistes made their final parade onto the stage for the last celebratory photocall. However, there was particular focus this year on rumoured couple Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh who entered the stage hand in hand just behind Liza Wang, Carol Cheng, Michael Miu and Bowie Lam.

Clips were also shown offering highlights of series that are planned for production or airing in 2009. After quiet years for Ron Ng and Myolie Wu, they both led in terms of output for the coming year with four new series each. Myolie was particularly excited because this will tie in well with the launch of her music career and she hopes this will be a boost for her. Asked if she hopes to win music newcomer awards next year with her rumoured boyfriend Bosco Wong, she smiled that it would be great to win any award.

Ron said that he was thrilled at the opportunity to have four series earmarked for next year and hoped that this will give his popularity a much needed boost. Asked if he will be avoiding gossip, he said that these things are unavoidable, but he will concentrate on his work.

Also with four series planned for next year, Moses Chan smiled that he was very fortunate and happy. He said that he is shameless and he will continue to film new series as long as he keeps getting paid.

Ada Choi, Shirley Yeung and Tavia Yeung emerged among the most eyecatching of the ladies in this first TVB glamour event. Ada wore a low cut wine-coloured evening dress contrasted against HK$4 million diamond jewellery provided by her sponsors Baijue Jewellers. Asked if she felt that it was unusual for her to be placed in the front row of the parade even though she is not TVB managed, she smiled that she has always had a strong relationship with the company, so this arrangement was not a surprise.

Tavia looked elegantly confident in her HK$30,000 scarlet Donna Karan gown. Asked if she was hoping to take an award at the anniversary awards ceremony on Saturday, she smiled that she has already made a healthy income this year, but if she was to win an award too, then this would be the icing on the cake. Shirley wore a revealing halter-neck dress that showed off her back and shoulders, as well as a sneaky patch of her abdomen.

Among the fashion faux-pas of the evening were Kate Tsui who seemed to be sporting a string of eggs around her neck and Yoyo Mung, whose olive-green dress was a complete colour clash with 'big sis' Liza's mandarin-style dress. Yoyo responded by saying that the dress was from a sponsor and she never imagined that someone else would wear such an unusual colour.

The next event in the TVB Anniversary calendar will take place on Saturday evening, when the winners of the TVB Anniversary Awards will be revealed.

Eric Suen and Shirley Yeung were filming in Wanchai for TVB drama New The Good, The Bad & The Ugly yesterday for a scene where they had to perform a kissing scene in public.

Eric said that he was not embarrassed by this because he is a professional actor and he has worked with Shirley on several occasions already and an earlier kissing scene was even more passionate.

Asked if she was worried that her boyfriend Gregory Lee might be jealous about her filming these scenes, Shirley said that he will not because he knows that this is just for her work.

With Eric's rumoured girlfriend Vivien Yeo sharing the same surname as Shirley, the reporters asked jokingly if he would be thinking about the other "Miss Yeung" while he kissed. He replied that this is not related and said that it is actually quite hard for male artistes to film kissing scenes and it is not as good as everyone seems to think because there is always the worry of being accused of being perverted or crossing the line with the lady. Asked how he felt when he kissed Shirley, he said he did not feel anything.

In the series, Vivien plays the third party in the relationship and asked if he will also be kissing her, Eric said he did not know yet, but it would not feel any different if he did.

Shirley stated that kissing Eric was just for work requirements and that she believes her boyfriend will not get jealous. (Asked if she knew Eric wasn't happy due to the reports?) She claims that she knew Eric was very annoyed. Yesterday it was reported that Shirley had won stocks and was buying a property and a new car. She denied the reports and said she was just looking at the property. As for the car it was just second hand.

Shirley Yeung: My Dad Is My Asylum Station

2008-06-15T18:08:00.004+10:00

The seven day earthquake which struck Sichuan had destroyed a measureless number of families, making everyone realize how valuable families are. Leaving parents home for a while now due to work, Shirley Yeung chooses to return to their old home on Father’s Day with her dad and reminisce their past. The year Shirley entered the Miss Hong Kong pageant; her dad went to submit her entry form despite the heavy rain - and she had never forgotten that moment even till this very day.

Shirley says: “I remember when I was very young; my dad really liked taking me to the military compound where I would swim and just play a whole lot of aquatic activities. I have learnt so much from my dad. He has always been very strict towards my brother and I. We learnt manners and how to respect our teachers and their teachings. There are times when he wouldn’t say a word but through his eyes, I knew what to do.”

After being influenced by her dad, Shirley had actually thought about becoming a police officer, but because of her eyesight, there is no chance she will pass. She had never thought her dad holding her Miss Hong Kong pageant entry form will allow her to enter a new stage in life. Shirley says: “I have never thought about it after I filled in the form. It was the last day when you could submit the form, did my dad hand it in for me despite the rain. Luckily, I did not disappoint him this time.”

With the support of her dad, Shirley she entered the pageant and held nicknames coining her as innocent and obedient. At the time, she was still living with her parents and so was known as a "屋港姐". However, after taking home the 2001 Miss Hong Kong pageant winner title, promoted and started filming “Blade Heart” which was when her and Gregory Lee started dating, Shirley and her dad still share a close relationship despite that she had moved to live with her boyfriend.

Shirley is very optimistic. Every time she comes across something unhappy, she would forget it very quickly. Shirley says: “My house is my refuge shelter; my dad is my asylum station. No matter when I’m happy or upset, I can talk to my dad about it.” Looking at his daughter, Mr. Yeung says: “She hasn’t changed much ever since entering the industry - only becoming more mature. I can talk about anything with her. Sometimes I can elucidate to her, and tell her not to think about it if something troubles her. There are many different people in society, and I have seen her friends before. Shirley is a very filial daughter.”

Celebrating Father’s Day with her dad side-by-side, Shirley wishes her dad good health and hopes that all father’s in the world are also happy.

Shirley Yeung Tries "Organic Seafood"

2008-06-13T17:52:00.001+10:00

In recent years, there was a "chance" that becoming a public figure who pursued for a healthy life was an important issue. Shops like those which sold organic vegetables opened more and so this showed that more people are willing to spend more money on healthier food. Early, Shirley Yeung had the chance to come into contact with organic seafood, realising that seafood which came from non-polluted water tasted very good, she says: "I have always liked eating seafood. It's not fattening and its good for the skin. In recent years, I have tried the "snow tomoto poison", "malachite green" but I'm also worried if my the "levels of lead in the blood is raising"!

When she first tried organic seafood, Shirley says: "There are few places where you can eat organic seafood. I didn't know they actually had organic seafood in Australia, Canada and America too, it all tastes so good! Fortunately, this food in low anaphylactogen, so I'm not worried at all. My mum would often buy organic food for me as well. I might go and buy some organic seafood myself later! It doesn't really matter if it's a bit expensive."

Shirley Yeung Doesn't Mind Pain When Playing Games

2008-06-09T18:47:00.003+10:00

Yesterday, Bosco Wong and Shirley Yeung were recording for a TVB8 game show 《娛樂金剛圈》. When they were playing the 'clamp the hotdog' game, Ivan Wang had accidentally pushed too hard and almost knocked Shirley out of the picture! Although the audience was laughing hard, Shirley was seen clutching onto her chest. That night, Shirley had worn quite a lot of clothes, claiming that she won't be afraid of exposing herself and can play the game more seriously. She also doesn't mind being hit, she says: "The most important thing when playing games is being happy. If one hits someone else, it wasn't on purpose, so I don't really mind."

"Forensic Heroes" Try Alternative Bowling

2008-06-06T11:26:00.002+10:00

Cast members from TVB series "Forensic Heroes 2", including Bobby Au Yeung, Yoyo Mung, Sharon Chan, Shirley Yeung, Florence Kwok, Stephen Wong, Vivien Yeo and Leanne Li, went bowling on Thursday evening to promote the show, which is currently airing.

Sharon was not feeling very well, but still attended dressed in a small vest top and hot pants. During the game where the artistes tried some alternative methods of sending the bowling ball down the lane, Sharon was picked up by two of her male co-stars and almost exposed herself, but she insisted that she had a protective vest on underneath, so she was fine. Florence made sure that she was safe by holding her hand over her chest when it was her turn.

Bobby was asked about criticism from fans about the series sub-theme song, sung by female lead Charmaine Sheh, but he said that he had not heard the song, so he did not know how it went. However, he supported Charmaine, saying that she is a good singer when they go to karaoke together and she also had a song recorded on the TVB artiste album "Lady In Red", so even though she is not at professional singer standard, then she can still sing in tune.

Bobby also revealed that he will be recording the theme song shortly for his series "Your Class Or Mine", laughing that the song will have a R&B and Rap fusion. Asked if he is worried about poor feedback for his song, Bobby laughed that he has plenty of flaws anyway, so he will accept any criticism that comes his way.

Shirley said that she did not know about the poor reviews from netizens, but added that artistes should be encouraged to try lots of things. She expressed a wish to perform a duet with a male artiste.

Shirley states: "I haven’t heard Charmaine's singing but I believe that actors/actresses should be able to try different things in the industry. Of course there will be people who will either like or dislike your singing. Perhaps due to a tight schedule she was told to record the subtheme without any notice and didn't have enough time to practice. That's why I believe actors should practice singing in their free time.

Shirley hopes that if she has the opportunity to sing that there will people who will enjoy her singing. So far she hasn’t received any criticism towards her voice.

Wayne Lai Headlines New TVB Series

2008-06-05T19:02:00.003+10:00

The blessing ceremony for new TVB series "New The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" was held today at TVB City, attended by many of the series leading stars including Wayne Lai, Sonija Kwok, Eric Suen, Shirley Yeung and Vivien Yeo.

Wayne will be taking on the leading character in the series and series producer Mui Siu Ching has been looking after him, arranging for some kissing scenes with Sonija. He said that after filming some argument scenes with Sonija, he has found that she is more mature now and her acting has improved a lot. Asked about the kissing scenes and whether or not he has had to explain himself to his wife, Wayne said that his wife has always been very supportive of his acting career, so she will not complain about these things. He laughed that she will only complain if his acting is bad.

Sonija appeared at the event with some clay flowers and she revealed that she has been taking lessons from Griselda Yeung in the craft for her character in the series. She added that she has become quite interested in the hobby and will do it after dinner or when she is watching TV. She smiled that Griselda, who once had a shop selling these handmade models, had also praised her work.

Reports have suggested that Shirley has bought herself a new car recently and she explained that she has had her old car for over five years, so she decided to buy a bigger 7-seater to give herself more space and she has even kitted out a small changing room in the car for convenience when she is working. She smiled that she has had plenty of opportunity to make money in the past year, so she sees this as a reward for her efforts. Asked why she did not go for a sports car instead, she said that they are impractical because you cannot carry passengers or any shopping!

After Leaving The "Refrigerator", Shirley Yeung Steps Back Onto Acting Road Without Giving Up

2008-06-01T20:14:00.003+10:00

*Click on above image for a bigger view.

At the beginning of the year, did any dare to say they were "very stupid and naive"? However, if you used these terms to describe Shirley Yeung, not many people would disagree. Entering the entertainment circle for almost 7 years, it seems as if there isn't any use of her. She has always been the one who is very faithful in love and treats her family very well. Although Shirley is approaching 30 years of age, she still insists on people not calling her "Sze Kei Jie". She laughs: "'Sze Kei Mui' sounds more affectionate! I remember going on "Super Trio Show" where Eric Tsang would continually call me 'Sze Kei Jie'! I believe that I haven't reached that level yet so it makes people think I'm conceited! Moreover, I've always admired Sze Kei Jie and she is the one who can carry this name."

Even though Shirley has not reached Sze Kei Jie's achievements, she has been filming series one after the other ever since. Last year Shirley took on the role as a villain in "The Brink Of Law" which presented her skills - impressing many of the audience. In the series "Women Have Fun" (If You Believe In Fairytales) Shirley took home the Most Outstanding Actor Award at the 42nd Chicago International TV Festival in 2006. This allowed Shirley to initially taste the benefits of her acting career. She recalls back: "I heard that no Asian has won the award in 5 years! It was hard to even get nominated so I was really happy to be able to win the award."

Shirley Yeung Has A Low Limit In Patience

2008-05-30T17:08:00.003+10:00

The ratings of the newly released "The Silver Chamber Of Sorrows" has brought Shirley Yeung a big chance to earn more money, but she hasn't forgetten the Sichuan Earthquake crisis just yet. As the saying goes: "it is more blessed to give than to receive, so on the top of donating money and helping out as much as you can, you also learn to treasure those around you. Shirley says: "Every time I watch the news, I see many people who has lost their family. One most memorable incident was a teacher who managed to save four children. In the end they had to cut both their arms off - that selfless spirit was great!"

With a level 8 earthquake striking Sichuan, it allowed Shirley to think over the theory of environmental rights to pursure harmonious coexistence for man and nature. She says: "There are times when everything goes in a flash, so therefore you must keep reminding yourself to treat the people around you better." In the series "The Silver Chamber Of Sorrows", Shirley portrayed a maid but in reality, she has a clear pitiful look. However, she does not mind: "I have actually got good patience, but if I am teased very badly, there is actually a limit. Though, the limit is very low."

In addition, Shirley had to cut most of her long hair for her new series "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". She says: "At first no one recognised me but I was very happy that I had received good comments rather than bad ones. To film series you must try different looks so next time I hope to become ugly, or a female ghost. This way, I can challenge myself!"

"Forensic Heroes 2" Cast Celebrates Charmaine Sheh's Birthday

2008-05-29T17:26:00.004+10:00

TVB series "Forensic Heroes 2" held a promotional event yesterday afternoon. As the event is water theme, most of the actors were topless while some of the actresses wore sexy swimwear such as Shirley Yeung, Shermon Tang, Vivien Yeo etc. However, the lead actresses Charmaine Sheh and Yoyo Mung chose a more conservative style. Even though Charmaine covered her bikini with a T-shirt, she remains the center of attention as it was her birthday yesterday. Stephen Huynh was late to the event, therefore they urged him to give Charmaine a birthday kiss.

Charmaine laughed and said that she did wear bikini, and her shorts are full of polka 'dots'. When asked if other actresses stole the attention by wearing sexy swimsuit, Charmaine said she did not pay attention as she is not a guy. Instead she really wanted to see Bobby Au in Speedo with his round belly so she was disappointed that he didn't attend today.

When reporters point out that she is the most sexy today, Shirley smiled and thanked them for complimenting her figure. Shirley also made some safety precaution on her swimsuit earlier. In the series, Shirley portrays a girl with the face of an angel but the heart of a devil. She also indicates that there are plenty of fiery scenes between her and Charmaine. When asked if they get along, she said that they are ok and their chemistry is much better after "Angels Of Mission". When Charmaine was asked about her scenes with Shirley, she said that everyone have plenty of interesting scenes in the series.

Mentioning of the rumor of TVB selling off stake, Charmaine expressed that Uncle Six (Sir Run Run Shaw) is a good boss and the company have always been operating smoothly therefore she hope there won't be any changes. She joked that maybe they should give assurance by increasing the salary.

During the game session the male cast members pulled Vivien into the water. Afterward she covered her face with the towel and they thought she was crying. Vivien later explained that she's not crying but because her contact lens was almost flushed off by the water. Regarding being pulled into the water by the guys, she laughed: "Maybe I have terrible social relationship! (Why are you avoiding sexy image today?) I'm a conservative person! Plus, Charmaine is the real star today, so I shouldn't steal the limelight." Vivien said that she is not always dressed sexily.

Producer Mui Siu Ching punished the guys by having them lined up and kicked into the water by the girls.

Shirley Yeung & Jack Wu Fake Going Out But Find Real Money

2008-05-23T11:33:00.006+10:00

*Click on above image for a bigger view.

In the new TVB series "The Silver Mansion Of Sorrows", Jack Wu and Shirley Yeung play lovers. Being their fifth collaboration with each other, the two hope to become lovers behind the screens!

Jack expresses that he hopes to becomes a 'lovers group' with Shirley, he says: "I don't mind becoming lovers behind the screen. It'll be even better if we turned out like Lee Heung Kam and Tam Ping Man! I feel that every time we work together, we know each other even more than last time. Although we always seem to be playing lovers, but the feeling is just like brothers and sisters, because the feeling Shirley gives me is just like a sister - since she needs people to look after her. However, I prefer girls who are independent and those who have their own opinions, so I'll give this cup of tea to someone else."

Shirley had exaggerated about her appearance being similar to that of Jack's but in reality they're a "天作之「合」". As for the issue of becoming on-screen lovers, she says: "Whether if its height or figure, we look really good together when you look at us. We really look like lovers and plus the number of times we've worked together, we have a tacit understanding between us, so becoming lovers behind the screen isn't hard." (Jack said you weren't his cup of tea?) "I get the same brothers and sisters feeling too! It's like no matter what troubles I get myself into, I can always ask him for help and he would also help me. We have a really strong brothers and sister's bond, so I don't believe there will be any real love between us."

Shirley Yeung’s Parents Supports Her At Show

2008-05-12T11:40:00.005+10:00

Yesterday, there was a fashion show at Citywalk. Shirley Yeung and Joycelyn Luko modeled at the show. Shirley and her parents were in attendance. They went out to eat and shopped around to celebrate. Shirley also gave money to her mom so her mom can buy what she liked. The reaction to the TVB series “The Silver Chamber of Sorrows” is fairly good. Her parents also praised Shirley’s acting which made Shirley very happy. Shirley pointed out that she wasn’t able to cover her body in the scenes which people beat her. She felt all the punches.

Joycelyn’s mom wasn’t in Hong Kong so she ordered flowers on the internet for her mom and grandma. Joycelyn’s wedding date is nearing and she told the reporters that the wedding ceremony would be on the beach. She would go to Maldives for her honeymoon.

Shirley Yeung: You Don't Need Tiffany?

2008-05-08T18:09:00.000+10:00

Two-three years ago, there wasn’t much of a need so she only needed the brand “Starrywood”, which produced Mickey Mouse, Felix The Cat clothing to sponsor her.

The Shirley Yeung nowdays doesn’t need anything. She says: “When I earn money, I would give it to my mother to save it up for me - in preparation for emergencies.” Anyways, she has a new clothing sponsor, an Italian brand Perme, “is quite stylish”. Although the word “stylish” isn’t stylish at all, but it has definitely improved. (What is stylish this season?) “I believe it’s those star designs. I’ve actually asked colleagues who are into the latest fashion! I was right. “People at home also read fashion magazines.”

“You must improve when wearing clothes because people will mature!” Shirley has been interviewed many years ago, and it is obvious that she has taken hold of opportunities.

Speaking about “Forensic Heroes 2”, since Shirley plays a guest star in the series and there have been numerous rumours saying that she has not been getting along with the female lead, Charmaine Sheh - even though there are plenty of scenes between the two. “It’s like science! Because my character is quite independent, there is much fire in my eyes.”

The issue about boyfriend Gregory Lee being seen with Shirley at Macdonald’s was brought up. (I’ve [reporter] been to Kowloon City a lot of times but I never see the spokespeople of Macdonald’s like Eason and Joey there.) “Really? Why not ask to be the spokesperson? I’m lovin’ it!” (You’re really desperate for money?) “I believe that looking after my family and being greedy for money are two separate things.”

Her speech skills have matured.
Shirley doesn’t need Tiffany because she is already 29 years of age.

Half a year ago, Shirley’s exposure rate was quite high, but it wasn’t due to filming high-definition promotional clips - it was because she took part of hosting a magazine which asked people to invest their finance. Recently, rather asking showing people to see beautiful real estates, there was also a series “The Silver Chamber Of Sorrows” where she played a maid, as a guest star in “Forensic Heroes 2” and now is one of the leads in new series “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly”. In the eyes of the media, it means she has been unfroze, but in her eyes, it’s a different story. “I really don’t think I was frozen. I have been working everyday, it was great. The money in my pocket has also increased and I even look better!”

Haven’t been filming for 9 months, there was another explanation. “I also believe that long series were filming during that time. ‘The Gem Of Life’ is 80 episodes long and ‘The Drive Of Life’ was 60. Many artistes have been held up for 6 to 9 months, so there weren’t much 20 episode series being produced.”

We have found our reason for being frozen - dating in public. “Do you think that’s the reason?” (I think that is some-what the reason.) “Everytime this issue is brought up, it’s always this reason. I really don’t think it has anything to do with it. The time when I wasn’t filming, many other artistes were like that too. Don’t need to worry about me, haha. I’ve always been quiet low-profile with dating. It is a normal part of my life and it’s not like we’re not letting people know.”

From last time we had an interview with Shirley; it is obvious that she has matured. Starting from small issues, “I have previously driven an Echo car for 5 years but I have changed it recently to a 7-seater car. I want my family to be more comfortable.” However, what had only changed was the outer appearance, “the soft toys? I have also put them back in the 7-seater car.”

Shirley had earlier lived in a ‘village’ in Saigon, but now she lives with her parents in scenaric house worth $HK 4 million in Lai Chi Kok. “We’re still paying off the mortgage. It’s more convenient in the city, but I like living in ‘villages’ more and there is more space for my 7 dogs to run around.”

She is changing more than ever, but in clothes sense: “My friends give me lots of suggestions, but many of the clothes are sponsored. Though, the clothes you see my in on the streets are my own. In the past, whenever I knew I would have to attend a function, I would then go out to buy new clothes. Now, it’s like I collecting books at home. If I see something I like, I would immediately buy it, as there will be times I can wear it eventually.”

There is also the fairytale world Shirley cannot say goodbye to. “I still like Hello Kitty and Mickey Mouse. I have a lot of soft toys and pyjamas of them but mostly of them are at home.”

In two interviews, we talked for 8 hours. I’m quite sure that Shirley likes to earn money, but she is definitely not arrogant - especially the times when you think of her boyfriend, Gregory Lee. After dating for 4 years, majority of newspaper headings and articles are always about the girl earning more money than the guy. “Reporters are always like that. With people writing like that about you is quite upsetting but it depends on how you interpret it. I have comforted him and that we are dating normally like anyone else would. It’s just wrong how people write about us like that.” As you can imagine, there is a lot of pressure put upon Gregory. “On the positive side, we both have to work even harder in our job with our determined effort.”

“I believe that money and love are definitely two different things. Even if you get married to someone rich, you might not be happy. The time he spends with you is very little, so it’s not just money that makes someone happy. Maybe because when I was young, we didn’t have that much money, so my mum had always taught me to be thrifty. I want to earn more money so that my family will have good days. I am frugal, but not greedy with money - they are two different things.”

Gregory has a lot of time on his hand, “Do you see him much? It’s ok. If we don’t see each other, we can still talk on the phone.... my whole family talks too!” Next up will be very sweet. Is he ideal person for marriage? “He’s pretty good. When I’m on a date, the aim is not having fun. We get along quite well, and our communication with each other is good. I’m a quiet person whereas he’s one who moves a lot, haha, but when he’s quiet I’m loud. It’s good that we both work well together, but sometimes he has a lot to talk about!”

Throughout the whole interview, the most surprising is this part. “In ‘Forensic Heroes 2’, Charmaine Sheh is the police and so she has to question me, we have quite a lot of scenes together.” I haven’t even asked yet, but she continued talking. “There are the most scenes with Charmaine in ‘Angels Of Mission’. Did you know there were a lot of science-related matters when we were filming? Because we were all facing one other, and there were sparks in our eyes. The words added even more provocation to it.”

I remember when asking about not getting along with one another, Shirley kept on saying no. This time, there are bones, but since they’re so big, you’ll definitely notice them. There is a chance you might choke someone to death. There is no comparison when being compared to the TV Queen. “I just said the result is very good, everyone did a great job. Those were just for series promotion, it’s not a big deal. We don’t feel awkward when we see each other and we chat sometimes too.”

In the end, Shirley suddenly remembers: “Ah! Can you please thank Siu Ching Jie (‘Forensic Heroes 2’ producer) for me? Also, have to thank Terry Tong (‘The Silver Chamber Of Sorrows’ producer) as well. They both gave me such a big chance.”

30 years of age. “Don’t remind me. Entering a time where a 3 comes first seems weird. It’s like I have to push myself to do even more work.” Shirley is actually 30 at the end of the year. However, she is not like any other female artistes. She gives many people the impression that she is not mature enough. “I’m actually starting to look more mature now. I’m maturing, I’m maturing. Make-up artist can’t help laughing. “Having a baby face has its advantages. You can work for a few more years.”

Shirley plays a maid in “The Silver Chamber of Sorrows”. When she had flown to Kuala Lumpar for promotion, “people would call me Chow Gook! I was really happy about that.”

Shirley claims that she has not contacted Charmaine privately. It’s normal as they are two different people. Shirley believes a dress that is worth $2000 is expensive. Luckily, Gregory and Ron Ng are two different people as well.

In 2004, Shirley won the “Most Improved Actress” award and in 2007, won the “Best Supporting Actress” award.

In “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly”, Shirley will be paired up with Eric Suen and Vivien Yeo will be their third party. In real life, has such thing happened? “I would step out because it’s too complicated. All of a sudden there is an extra leg in the space inbetween two people, very hard!” But she doesn’t need to worry; I believe that Gregory is quite faithful to Shirley.

2001 Miss Hong Kong winner is Shirley Yeung, 1st runner up is Gigi Chung and 2nd runner up is Heidi Chu. After participating in the pageant, they all went for their driver’s license, but actually a “van” license.

At the end of the year, Shirley will turn 30. She says that she hasn’t been online much, and just been to yum-cha with family.

Shirley laughs and said she will treat it as a vacation. She had taken T-shirts, shorts and swim wear but she declared will not give sex appeal "I will probably wear a top over my swimwear". (But it's very hot!) "I'm a 'cold nature' person! I think being comfortable is most important".

Asked if she had any real spark's with Jack since working together for so long? Shirley laughs “We are both very professional and have good communication but there are no sparks. Asked if she’s only dedicated to her boyfriend? Shirley replies with a firm Yes and then akwardly changes subjects. Shirley’s most memorable moment was when she was filming a scene with Jack. The scene was about Jack holding a frog to scare her. In real life Shirley is afraid of frogs so she actually wanted to cry while filming.

Earlier this year, Shirley Yeung went to Sydney for a TVBI Advertisement Awards Ceremony to perform. Although she stayed for only 3 days and 2 nights, she insisted to take time off and see her fans. She said "I was very happy to see so many fans! There was a female supporter who was very kind, she has been helping me update an English site, and translating news from English to Chinese so that the rest of the world will know me, so I must thank her!" Huge fans of Shirley know her very well and so a lot of thought has been put in the presents they give her. "She knew I was afraid of the cold so she specially gave me an insulating mug with my picture on it! They really have a heart!"

Knowing that Shirley loved to eat, when she was in Sydney she went to the fish markets and she really liked it: "The fish markets there have everything, they have lobsters, prawns, tons of fish and they were all really fresh. In Hong Kong you definitely cannot find this kind of food!"

Also, Shirley's new series "The Silver Chambers Of Sorrow" will be released soon. She has confidence that it will do really well, and she even said she hopes to film a sequel! "Nancy Sit really lightened everybody up as she was really entertaining, so there has to be sequel!"

Shirley Yeung: "If I Have A Daughter In The Future, I Will Tell Her To Participate In The Pageant."

2008-04-03T15:12:00.000+11:00

This year’s Miss Hong Kong Pageant has already begun its recruitment. Yesterday, it was arranged that previous Miss Hong Kong winners including Shirley Yeung, Tracy Ip, Mandy Cho, Aimee Chan, Kayi Cheung and Suki Chui attend a press conference on a boat. This year will be the most luxurious since 1973 when it came to Miss Hong Kong outdoor filming. Participants will head over to America for three days of filming and then continue the filming on a boat. It is planned that it will commence on May 22nd.

Among everyone, Shirley had suddenly become the oldest one, but she laughs: “I feel that I’ve gotten younger instead, because I’ve done so much work these seven years and it has been so inspirational. It’s like only two-three years have gone past, especially with having so many friends supporting me, this makes me extremely happy, so in the future if I have a daughter, I will tell her to participate in the pageant. Other than learning a lot of things, she will discover the potential she has to strive.”

Kate Tsui Not Courageous Enough To Wear Swimsuits

2008-03-31T14:42:00.000+11:00

Yesterday, Kate Tsui and Shirley Yeung attended a function for a lingerie brand. Kate and Shirley wore Japanese spa robes. They were battling for the spotlight with the foreign models that showed off sexy lingerie and swim wear. Kate said her heart was beating faster when she saw the sexy models walk close to the audience. She does not have the courage to publicly wear swim wear since the Miss Hong Kong pageant. She will rather hide her imperfections instead of showing them off. She lacks confidence in her body. She was in commercials about slimming down and she had to dance in it. But it is a different story compared to wearing sporty bra top and swim wear. She doesn’t feel it is the right time to participate in swim wear shows.

Shirley has participated in swim wear shows. She said that she wasn’t sure if she will do swim wear shows in the future. But she will continue to prepare her body for it. Besides getting more income by accepting swim wear shows, you can be happy when other compliments your body. She revealed that she is interested in sexy corsets. The reporter asked if she wear it for others to see. Shirley embarrassingly said that she can collect it instead.

Shirley says: “This job does not have a stable income, so all you have to do is work hard and save money.” When the reporters said that since summer is coming, she was able to do more swimsuit catwalks again, Shirley laughs: “Why do you always speak like that?” She smiles that she has to exercise first, allowing her figure to have even more an esthetic feeling. As this year’s winter is longer, she had eaten more. It was spoken that recently she went with her boyfriend to MacDonald’s and the reporters caught her, she expresses that she was hungry and wanted to buy a burger. People still have no go out, it’s nothing special.

Speaking of filming “Burning Flames 3” in May, Kevin says: ““Burning Flames” was my first series I have filmed since entering TVB. At first there were many new people, and I didn’t know anything. Seven years have gone past in a blink of an eye, now I’m filming “Burning Flames 3”, the feeling is quite special. It feels as if time has gone really fast.”

After an interview with Shirley, she says that other than portraying a maid in “Silver Mansion Golden Dust” which will be broadcasted in April, she is also taking part in the grand production “Heart Of Greed 2”, playing Lee Sze Kei’s younger version. She laughs: “This is really Szeki being Sze Kei!” As for her part in the series, she says: “The main thing is that I learn to make moon cakes in the store. The younger version of Lee Sze Kei hasn’t experienced much change; therefore there won’t be pitiful scenes. However, the most upsetting is that I cannot film with Lee Sze Kei herself, because I never really get the chance to see her.”

At the hotel, the couple sang the songs of “Mice Loves Big Rice” and “Colourful Universe”. Not only that, the two was able to “eat” their achievement in Guangzhou.

Shirley yesterday had worn a yellow dress and took numerous pictures with the handsome Kevin.

Frog Jumped On Shirley Yeung Causing Great Fear That She Cried

2008-02-20T06:34:00.000+11:00

Earlier Shirley Yeung began filming for TVB's new series "Silver Mansion Golden Dust". She had to film a scene with her lifetime's most feared creature, Eminent Frogs (田雞). This caused her to start crying. Shirley says, "When I was young, I went out with my mum to buy groceries and her mother would go buy the frogs and watch their skin get cut off and then boiled. Unfortunately, one of the live frogs accidently jumped onto my body and got me really scared. After that incident, I have some sort of fear towards them."

The scene talked about how Young Master Matt Yeung often plays jokes on his maid Shirley Yeung. The director originally planned to have him push her into a big cylinder, however because they were afraid the scene would turn out too violent, they decided to use the Eminent Frogs instead. But instead this made Shirley even more frightened and revealed her real personality. Shirley forces a smile, "The scene required me to act like I'm really afraid, but there is no need for me pretend because I already got so scared that I cried. Had to film a scene where the frog jumps on my leg, which already me made me scream so much that I lost my voice." Luckily the crew was very considerate, in the end they used a fake eminent frog for replacement. Shirley then could take a group picture happily.

Shirley Yeung has a habit to buy festive flowers during Chinese New Year. Peach blossoms and daffodils are her favourites. Shirley smiled and said: “A lot of people like to buy festive flowers.

Daffodils are very cute and their scent is great!”

According to custom, you are supposed to walk around the peach blossom in a clockwise fashion. If the petals or blossom fall onto your head, you will have “peach blossom” luck the entire year. Shirley expressed: “I am a nosy and superstitious person. I can’t put an entire peach blossom at my home. I can walk here and there down here. I would definitely do it at a mall because it is good luck and part of the festive.”

Shirley revealed that there would be change in plans to vacation with the entire family during Chinese New Year. There are no more spots available at the travel agency. Now the plan is to go to Macau or some other location for the family to have a happy Chinese New Year.

I hope to directly ask her to teach me the next time there is a meeting.”

I was influenced by him since an early age and became superstitious! I do all of the traditional worships like worship ceremony, praying to ancestor and eat vegetarian dishes. I won’t wash my hair from the first day of the lunar calendar to the fourth. There are a lot of rules!” So he is most knowledgeable about the details of worship ceremonies.

For their CNY wishes, all four were unanimous about hoping for good health. The others were more development in their careers.

"Heart Of Greed II" Plotlines Revealed

2008-01-29T06:37:00.001+11:00

The costume fitting ceremony for the highly anticipated sequel Heart Of Greed II was held today, attended by many members of the original cast, including Ha Yu, Lee Si Kei, Susanna Kwan, Michelle Yim, Moses Chan, Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung, Lai Lok Yi, Fala Chen, Bosco Wong and Linda Chung.

The backdrop for this series is a family bakery business, worth HK$10 billion and all of the characters are brand new.

Among the changes is the move for Michelle from being the hardworking and righteous aunt to a villain and in the new series, Si Kei and Susanna will no longer be love rivals, but will be sisters instead. Raymond and Bosco's characters have been switched around and Bosco will be playing the professional character, who will fight against Raymond for a romance with Linda's doctor role.

Ha Yu will be playing a couple with Si Kei, but they are divorced at the beginning of the show, each living with three of their children. Moses, Lok Yi and newcomer Wan Ka Hang's characters live with their father Ha Yu, whilst Raymond, Tavia and Fala are with Si Kei. Ha Yu revealed that his businessman character will be even richer than the first series and he will be less exaggerated in this role. He also hinted that there will not be an inheritance battle in the new series, but the storyline will focus more on the interactions between the family and how to build up to a happy ending.

Si Kei said that her character in the new series is a good person again and has a happy-go-lucky personality. She will still be offering sound advice in the new series and as her nickname in the show is "Fat Thing", she is currently working on putting on some weight for the role.

Once again playing a meddling role, Susanna said that she will bring a lot of troubles to her family in the new series. She smiled that she will be a cute villain though because her character is not malicious. She will have romance in the series with Wayne Lai, who plays a baker. Susanna said that with a number of fresh faces among the cast, it will bring a lot more variety and Kate Tsuiwill be playing her daughter. She also revealed that her character has returned to Hong Kong from Portugal, so she has been learning some simple Portuguese and English phrases to make her performance more convincing.

Michelle revealed that her character is the person who comes between Ha Yu and Si Kei in the series, sending away his children and spoiling them for her own evil schemes.

Lee Heung Kam is another of the new faces in the cast and she will be playing Ha Yu's mother, who dislikes Si Kei and is often scolding her. She said that the whole family will follow her instructions, but she is actually very child-like.

The characters of the younger cast members have also seen a vast change and Moses will be playing a genius stockbroker, who made his millions in his teens, but ended up owing millions when he is in his twenties. He laughed that the producer wanted to provide the audience with something to fantasise about, so he has been given a suave character this time. Tavia and Kate will be fighting over him in the show and he will also have a romance with his superior, played by Astrid Chan. Astrid laughed that when she found out that she would be kissing Moses, she immediately accepted the part.

Raymond's part in the new series will be much larger than his guest appearance in the original and he said that with this comes more responsibility. He revealed that his character is like a housekeeper and he has to be aware of everything that goes on in the family. He will also be taking bakery lessons shortly to prepare for the role.

After the weepy role of "Sheung Joi Sum" in the first series, Linda revealed that her new character is very much the same and is still very emotional. Bosco will be playing a gynaecologist in the show, but will not appear until ten episodes in and will only have a small part in the series. Asked why his role had been reduced, he did not respond directly and just said that Raymond's role was similar in the first show and he was still very popular and as they will be fighting over Linda in the show, he is worried about being accused of "stealing" his girlfriend.

Tavia revealed that her character is an adopted child and is often taunted by Susanna for this reason. However, the role is of a happy person and she will be fighting for the affections of Moses. She added that she is pleased to be able to test her acting skills against so many other leading ladies in the series. Tavia and Fala will be taking lessons in sign language shortly, because Fala's character is a mute and they have a number of scenes where they use sign language to communicate.

Shirley Yeung and Jack Wu will be guest starring as the young versions of Si Kei and Ha Yu's characters. Shirley said that she will be watching some of Si Kei's earlier productions to try and capture some of her expressions and gestures.

Shirley Yeung Fully Clothed At Lingerie Show

2008-01-10T11:35:00.000+11:00

Shirley Yeung looked rather odd among the scantily clad models at a lingerie show today, wearing a corset underneath her lace top and balloon skirt, that turned her outfit into daywear rather than underwear.

Presented with a souvenir award for "Perfect Attitude", Shirley admitted that her bottom line is just to appear in swimwear and she is not brave enough to appear on the catwalk wearing just lingerie.
