Sharon Chan wearing Beijing Opera Costume, gets a Headache



Sharon Chan wearing Beijing Opera Costume, gets a Headache

Yesterday Sharon Chan and Rosemary attended "APM Third Anniversary City Carnival" 「apm三周年全城狂歡」. The two of them wore Chinese costumes together, wearing the Beijing Chinese Opera styled costumes. Sharon said that the costume was nearly 10 pounds, the head pieces were so heavy that she had a headache. But, she felt that the hard work is worth it because the costume was very pretty, causing her to want to learn Beijing Opera. The two of them learned how to make "Pulled Noodles" [Lai-Mein]. But, their performance was really "chicken hand, duck feet" [chinese expression meaning, unprofessional], during the time they were making it Sharon caused the noodles to tear apart and fell on the floor, leaving them very helpless.

Cooking Skills Not Bad

But, she insists that she has pretty good cooking skills, usually she would go to the supermarket to get groceries to cook. She says that there isn't deals every time she goes to the street markets, sometimes there aren't cheap and nice veggies, and she does not bargain. So, sometimes her mom would go with her to buy groceries. Has she cooked for her mom and boyfriend? She smiles and said that she did not do any special cooking for her boyfriend, but in the past her ex-boyfriend has tried her cooking and praised her. She smiles: "If don't praise me, then wanna die?" As for her speciality dish, it would be oyster sauce chicken wings, chicken with balsam pear, and fish maw-abalone chicken soup. She smiles and said that she can be considered one of those types that can "enter the kitchen and go out to the living room" [Chinese expression meaning, she can be a good wife], too bad no one wants her. Also, Rosemary reveals that regarding her ex-boyfriend Christopher's leaving, currently she has recovered back to normal and has moved on.

Niki Praises Kevin

Niki has not filmed a TVB series for a year. This time, she'll be playing Adam Cheng's daughter. Niki said that Adam and Benz Hui are hilarious, always making her laugh. A veteran like Adam always joking around does help to take the pressure off the younger generation.

Always being paired with Kevin and now finally changed to Patrick, Niki expressed that this will bring some freshness. When asked if she's avoiding Kevin, she smiled and said "No, just wanted a change."

Niki wants to take this opportunity to ask Adam if he has any secrets to his youthfulness and good skin. When mentioned that Kevin still looks young at his age too, she laughed and said "Adam is more amazing, I can still act as lovers with him!"

There was previous report saying that Kevin had injections to keep his youthful looks. Niki answered "That's exaggerating. Maybe he ate lots of nutricious food". When asked if she feels that he's better looking than last time, she said "He looks ok. Maybe after he entered the industry, he has learned to take better care of his appearance. Also, guys have advantage. As they get older, they get more charming/appealing. Even a few more wrinkles would add to the charm"

Charlene Teases Wu Chun's Poor Cantonese



Wu Zun and Ah Sa collaborated on "Butterfly Lovers" and the two accepted Roadshow's interview yesterday to promote the new movie. Because there were rumors between the two, they were asked by reporters if it was awkward. But Wu Zun immediately said, "Why would it be awkward?" Also, Ah Sa treated Wu Zun to a "yim kook gai" (salt marinated chicken) take out order. Wu Zun said it was delicious.

Wu Zun said that he was happy working with Ah Sa, even though she always tricked him. He also said that Ah Sa is like an eating god, she has a lot of insight when it comes to food. However, when Ah Sa saw Wu Zun talking in Cantonese, perhaps she thought he was not too good at it, said "Why don't you talk in Mandarin instead, because it would be worrisome if you said something wrong." But Wu Zun insisted that his Cantonese was not bad and would not speak in Mandarin.

Ah Sa and Wu Zun are promoting "The Butterfly Lovers". Despite the rumors between them, the two appeared relaxed. When asked about the rumors, Ah Sa reminded Wu Zun to use Mandarin to answer. She was afraid that because of his so-so Cantonese, he would say the wrong thing. However, Wu Zun insisted on speaking in Cantonese. Therefore, during the interivew, Ah Sa was scared the whole time.
