Fahrenheit's Hong Kong concert; Chun gets his left and right shoes mixed up

Fahrenheit's Hong Kong concert; Chun gets his left and right shoes mixed up
Saturday September 27

After entering the entertainment industry for nearly 3 years, Fahrenheit chose Hong Kong to hold their concert and show the world that they do have talent, in the aim to change everyone’s impression that they use looks and constant rumors with girls to be where they are now. Fans screamed non-stop at the 4 handsome guys, and the amazing performances they gave, however at one point, Chun got his left and right shoes mixed up, and it looked a bit awkward when he was thrusting his sword out.

On the 26th and 27th, Fahrenheit held 2 concerts at the Hong Kong Expo, and attracted over 20,000 fans. The 4 are already very popular in Hong Kong, and this time, tickets were sold out very fast. In the 2 nights, fans yelled till their voices were hoarse; the 4’s charm and hotness dazzled everyone, and they had a total of 6 outfits during the concert, but surprisingly they did not reveal too much skin.

There was huge momentum on the stage and special effects continued non-stop; it really was an amazing show. Fahrenheit entered the stage wearing ‘Final Fantasy’ outfits, waving their light swords. Then when the atmosphere changed, they began singing slow songs. Then balloons were released, and this warmed up a romantic atmosphere, and even Aaron, who is scared of heights joined his fellow brothers and they sat on a machine, which rose to 5-stories high.

Fahrenheit seemed to want to break their “flower vase” image, as they together formed a band to show off their musical talents. Aaron played the keyboard, Jiro played the guitar, Chun played drums and Calvin showed off his beat-boxing skills. Jiro, whos knee was still injured, gave an outstanding performance as he played both an electric guitar, and a wooden guitar. Aaron played the keyboard, and at the same time, sung a duet with Jade Liu. Fahrenheit also arranged a retro-style part of the concert, where they sung old traditional songs, and danced wistfully.

During the concert, Chun had a flying scene, and he dresses up as a black warrior, one hand hanging onto the wire, and the other hand waving a samurai sword. It was only 8 seconds, but it cost a massive 500,000$TW. After this, he combined martial arts and performed a sword dance, but then it was noticed that he had got his left and right shoes mixed up, and this impeded him from performing even better.

After the concert, Fahrenheit said, “We waited 3 years, and now we have finally achieved our dream. We have worked really hard to prepare for this concert, thank you to everyone who has accompanied us on the journey to achieve our dream.” Charlene Choi, Chun’s dad and Chun’s brother all came along to the first concert to cheer them on, and the site was surrounded by the media, causing disturbance.

Ron Ng supports Elanne Kong; Does not believe her bank account only has $58

Ron Ng supports Elanne Kong; Does not believe her bank account only has $58
Saturday, September 27

Ron Ng and Elanne Kong worked together in TVB's series "The Academy 3" and were previously rumored. Recently Elanne had been crying alot due to being accused of being the third party. Also she personally exposed that her bank account only had $58 left. Yesterday Ron attended a promotion for the new TVB series "The Four" and said "Yesterday evening I saw the previews on the TV and saw Elanne crying. But I won't disturb her at the moment. I also do not believe she is that kind of person. When we were working together she did say she was unhappy, at the time I did comfort her. As long as its not true then she should not care what others say and if she wasn't famous no one would write about her". (Elanne considers leaving the Entertainment circle?) "Leaving? I hope she will not be unhappy about those reports, she should focus on her work instead. She is a clever and pretty girl".

Ron fully supports Elanne and said he doesn't feel that she use her eyes to generate electric (seduce). "Pretty girls will naturally be misunderstood, if they stare at you people will say they are seducing you. I hope everyone will give her some space". As for Elanne revealing that she only had $58 in her bank account left, Ron said "It's not possible, she has filmed many advertisements such as beauty products etc. Let's just say I believe her. I knew her before she entered the industry and she is getting prettier as she gets older. Only if someone comes out to admit it's true otherwise you have to be more fair to her".

Maggie Siu successfully quits smoking and receives the "Healthy Star" title

Saturday, September 27

Maggie Siu received the "Healthy Star" title yesterday. She personally reckoned she was chosen because it had to do with her successfully quitting smoking. She said "I quit smoking 8 years ago, at first it was very hard because many of my friends were smoking around me. I required 1 month in order to be successful". Personally she considers Simon Yam as the healthy star. "Simon Yam is very healthy, he isn't a heavy drinker and also does alot of exercise. But the only bad habit he has is that he hasn't quit smoking". (Will you persuade Simon to quit?) "I will not tell my friends to quit, in the past I suddenly wanted to quit myself and I did. Whether or not others quit smoking is for them to decide".

"EEG's Singing Contest" will be held tonight. Yesterday Raymond Lam, Deep Ng and Shirley Yeung appeared together at the blessing ceremony. Shirley stated she will host the show with Deep Ng and Amigo Chui. Although it's her first time hosting a singing contest she wasn't worried if she was criticised for her performance, most important is that she will do her best.

She also praised good friend Linda Chung's album very good. As to whether she will release her own album, she said that would be up to the company to arrange. "Earlier Linda gave me an album, I fully support her".

It will also be Deep Ng's first time hosting and he is very nervous about it. He will get advice from experienced host Amigo Chui and had written his lines on to a card which will certainly help his memory. Deep joked that his handwriting was very difficult to read and had to slowly copy his lines to be able to read it. Raymond Lam will sing a duet with Vincy Chan tonight "明天以後" (After Tommorow) Cantonese version. It's the first time Raymond has attended the "EEG Singing Contest" since joining EEG. When discussing about many younger sisters and brothers to be born tonight, he said "I will finally have younger brothers and sisters in the company and will no longer be the youngest (Newest) anymore."

Kenix is not in a hurry to have a baby

Friday September 26, 2008 Hong Kong

Kenix Kwok and Frankie Lam have been married for 4 years. There were rumors that their marriage was on the rocks. Recently it was reported that Kenix went to Hengdian, HangZhou to split up with Frankie.

Kenix attended the promotional event for a skincare brand yesterday. She wasn't affected by the rumor. In fact, she was showing off her engagement diamond ring from Frankie. During one of the promotional activities, she had to take the ring off but she put it back on afterwards.

Kenix just came back from Hangzhou the other day and was asked if she saw Frankie in Hengdian. She stated that Frankie was in Hengdian a month ago, but she didn't see him. He is now working in Beijing and Shanghai. Kenix felt odd in regards to the rumors about her marital problems. She didn't take any notice of the media and she had no intention of clearing the rumor.

Kenix disclosed that she had a discussion with Frankie in Tongwan during Mid-autumn festival about going somewhere together next month. Asked if they are trying to make baby? Kenix said they are not in a hurry, a lot of female artists wait till they are in their 40s (Kenix is 39) to start a family. She can wait for another 2-3 years.
