Conflicts inside the Palace
The theme is on conflicts inside the Palace, of course it would focus more on the ladies than the men. As the Emperor who has three thousands concubines in the Palace, Moses Chan enjoyed the pretty ladies for himself: “The theme is on the story inside the Palace. I believe it will be as attractive as War and Beauty. Besides the theme, the casts are also very attractive, Susanna Kwan and Michelle Yim fight from Heart of Greed to Palace Scheme. It will definitely be a good watch!”

Susanna Kwan will give her first to this series: “I believe a lot of people will look forward to my first time acting in ancient series. After the make up, I personally feel it gives off a fresh feeling. Moreover, this time some of the artistes are from Heart of Greed group. We already have the connections between us. By seeing the title of the series, we already know that it will be about conflicts and competition in the Palace, with the theme on fighting for higher status. Actually, in recent years, there are less ancient series on this theme. I believe audience will definitely like it.”

Ha Yu Is The Choice for TV King

Louise Lee was asked who she thought was her strongest competitor. In order to avoid gossip, she said : I don't know how to tell.. But as for the best actor, she said that Ha Yu is her choice.

Louise said: Ha Yu acted his role out really well. As for Moses Chan, he put in a lot of effort for his role in "Moonlight Resonance". When I first looked at the script, his role didn't seem very unique. He also asked me for advice on how he should act out his role. In the end, he was able to act out his character very well, and brought life to it. Raymond Lam's role is also good, as well as the other male leads, so competition is very tight!

Leung Nai Pang presented 6 bottles of Red Wine for everyone to drink, Raymond Lam And Louis Yeun drank wine until their faces were all red before the dinner had ended. Raymond Lam who is rumour to have a high chance of winning Best Actor said that he doesn't drink red win but Maotai ( some type of Chinese liquor). The nights big joke was by Moses Chan to Raymond Lam when he said " As the present position of TV king i hope that this year you will become TV king" this made Raymond very happy so they both made a toast together drinking the Maotao but secretly Moses swapped his Maotai ( its like clear liquor) with water. As Raymond was in a high mood he kept drinking till his face turned red. In fact TVB high levels already expected Raymond to drink a lot so they advised him not to drive his car there.

Also fighting for best supporting actress award Lee Heung Kam and Tavia Yeung were present at the dinner but they both supported each other to win the award. What is most important is the friendship and competing is just second place for them.

Searching for TV King and TV Queen in Moonlight Resonance

Moonlight Resonance is everywhere.
“Identity”, “Jade Solid Gold”, “Scoop” are all full of the Gam family. The promotion is followed by promotions. Even the Big Brother in the entertainment industry Eason Chan has become a backing vocal to Michelle Yim in singing the Karaoke song “Thinking of each other in the windy rain”. Have this been seen before?

Aired on 7 days during a week is also a rare arrangement.

The drama series which was very popular in the previous period is “Jewel in the Palace”. The ending achievement had been surprising. The last episode’s peak rating has broken the record and was over 50 points. This time, the same arrangement is probably to repeat history! However, Moonlight Resonance has achieved a small peak in every 2 episodes. Within 30 episodes, how they were quarreling, how they were hurting people, how the family was ruined, how the family was reunited, how each of the character cried, have been a routine in the audiences’ eyes. Therefore, it will be difficult for the last episode to have any new creativity. As predicted, the fact that Hung Yee became more evil, Goon Ga Jai became more persistent in love are as predicted, Ah Kar and Ah Ho fortunately won her, the energetic grandmother Lee Heung Kam passed away could still attract audiences. However, to break the 50 points peak would be really difficult. If it achieved above 45 points, “Moonlight Resonance” is already considered to have a successful ending.

The third sequel must be coming. It has ratings, has topic, has support, why would TVB cut short its own profiting chance? If it’s quick, it will be seen in next year’s anniversary. The same casts acting in ancient costumes, they will remain to be a big family, there will similarly be quarrels, audiences will definitely buy it.

However, to continue the power of Moonlight Resonance, it will definitely take majority of the awards in the anniversary. Media has already started to speculate who is going to be this year TV King and TV Queen?

Raymond Lam (The chance of becoming TV King: *****)
It has been definite since the beginning of this year?
Goon Ga Jai’s importance is greater than the other male characters. Moreover, “The Four” will be coming out. Raymond Lam’s popularity will continue. His chance of becoming TV King is already almost absolute.

However in Moonlight Resonance, his performance has only received satisfactory review. If we talk about surprise, it can’t be compared to Alfred in the first series. As the character is too perfect, the potential to show off becomes restricted. His triangle relationship with Linda Chung and Bosco Wong is also too long-winded, each episode their progress will go in circle, the persistency and loyalty in love is really making people feel tired and not feeling touched. However, when we talk about status, it is time for him to become TV King. At least he will be more deserving than the previous year’s Kevin Cheng, right?

Ha Yu (The chance of becoming TV King: ****)
If he won it, it will be a kind of recompensation.
Last year he didn’t get anything is too much. Old man would feel disappointed. Fortunately, it doesn’t affect his acting. Joe Bao’s character is more difficult to grasp than Bao Bao. Ha Yu had secured it steadily. He has given his full performance regardless whether it is laughing scene or crying scene. If we talk about capability, he has power to win! If his performance within two years are added up, he is even more deserving of the award.

Moses Chan (The chance of becoming TV King: ***)

Double-winning TV King to win continuous jackpot?

He maybe seen to be unpopular choice. However, TVB awards like to give earth-breaking surprises. Therefore, Moses’ chance can’t be overlooked, especially since Ah Kar has more “noise” than Dak Dak Dei, acting as a person of a rather different type yet still has to be fitting in with the whole family. The audiences like his special comedic feel. This breakthrough is deserving of award. Only that, will continuous TV King be an over-reward? If Moonlight Resonance is not wanted to be the only big winner, another unpopular choice is Roger Kwok from “D.I.E”. Don’t forget that he was able to clear Sonija Kwok’s record. Among TVB actors, who can do that?
　　
Lee Sze Kei (The chance of becoming TV Queen: ****)
The audiences will definitely accept if the award is given to her. However, the opportunity to promote a person will be lost. Besides, there is a lack of surprise. It’s a rare chance that Lee Sze Kei opened her golden mouth and expressed that she doesn’t want to fight with the young generation. Does she hint that she has undergroundly quit the competition?

Tavia Yeung (The chance of becoming TV Queen: ****)
Really remarkable! Although her screentime is obviously not much, she still manages to stand out and becomes the netizens’ choice of the new TV Queen!
Regardless of being strong or crying, this “Get” Girl succeed to leave a deep impression on the audiences. Facing the veterans, meeting the strong and becoming stronger, her performance obviously won over the first series. If she was given the honour of TV Queen, and receive recognition, she will definitely become the focus among the TVB leading ladies. TVB likes to promote people, why not promote her?

Susanna Kwan (The chance of becoming TV Queen: ***)
She is my personal choice. Her acting is needless to say, her limelight concealed Hor Ma, scolding people like singing, and fighting alone. However, she is not very competitive, whether or not the award is given to her will not make any hot topic. Therefore, her chance is less.

Michelle Yim (The chance of becoming TV Queen: ***)
Can villain win the main award? I think the chance will not be big. After all her age is rather old. If TVB promotes her, why not fiercely promote Fala Chen to be the youngest TV Queen, becoming a household name by being mute, won’t it be a bigger topic?

Louise Lee has no intention in fighting for any awards

Louise Lee and Deep Ng, Natalie Ng and Belinda Hamnett etc attended the "Busan and Tokyo Film Festival Wrapup Party" for the film "A Decade of Love". Louise Lee was asked about the recent reports about her and Nancy Sit fighting over winning the TV Queen Award. She replied "I don't want to respond to any made up news, I don't want to fall into their traps and help them promote it. The company nominates the artistes for the awards and the audience will choose who they like the most. It's not up to us. You cannot win awards by fighting over them. (Have you got confidence this year to win?) I haven't thought about that. Last year I felt very satisfied but this year if I don't win any awards it doesn't matter, as long as I get the chance to attend the ceremony." Louise also praised Moses Chan, Tavia Yeung, Fala Chen and Ha Yu for their outstanding performances.

Susanna Kwan admits she has feelings for her Close Lesbian friend

Susanna Kwan accepted a radio interview for the programme "Va Va Voom". She expressed that most mid aged women just need someone to be there to care and love them, but most important is that they have feelings for that person too. She was asked if Willy Chow her close wealthy lesbian friend met her requirements? Susanna replied "Yes" (You have feeling's?) "Yes" (Does you family find it hard to deal with?) "At first there were a few problems, but after my mother got to know her she really likes her. For example if you saw your daughter dress up in a particular way, why should you use view her in a prejudice way? " She also stated that Willy had done many things that touched her heart.

On Monday night, the first episode of Moonlight Resonance aired and scored an average of 33 points, peaking at 34, with close to 2,140,000 people watching. This is much higher than Heart of Greed’s first episode which had 28 points. Moonlight Resonance’s airing also affected 《生命有明天》 ratings for ATV. The audiences reaction to Moonlight Resonance are mixed. Some praise actresses Louise Li, Michelle Yim, etc. for their good acting and also said that Fala Chen caught people’s attention. Others expressed that the character relationships are confusing. Netizens have also found a blooper point, saying that the expression “爛Gag” only came out recently and would not have been used in 1995.

The first episode of Moonlight Resonance aired on Monday at 9:30 PM, having an average of 33 points, peaking 34 points. This is a good start. During the same time slot, ATV aired a series 《生命有明天》 starring Francis Ng and Jessica Hsuan. The ratings dropped from 4 points to 3 points and 2 points in just half an hour when Moonlight Resonance began its broadcast.

This time, with anticipation from the audience, Moonlight Resonance did well for the premiere compared to last year’s Heart of Greed. Up to now, TVB series with high ratings this year for the opening are Forensic Heroes II with an average of 34 points and D.I.E. 33 points.

Netizens are praising Louise Li, Michelle Yim, and Susanna Kwan. Michelle Yim’s evil third party role got attention but was also hateful. Regarding the younger generation, Fala Chen and Raymond Lam rfranceceived the most praises from Netizens. In the series, Louise Li is always telling jokes. There was a flashback scene set in 1995 where Raymond Lam heard one of the jokes and said it was very “messed up” (direct translation). Netizens question whether such a modern expression “爛Gag” was used back in 1995!

Moonlight Resonance Producer denies bumping Raymond Lam up for TV King

HOG/MR producers speak about the production process of Moonlight Resonances, they two different series

Last year, "Heart of Greed" triggered the "HOG Fever", the audiences were excitingly chasing to see the scenes with Dai Kai and Sai Kai - Lee Si Kei (LSK) and Susanna Kwan, first and second wife battling against each other. The golden lines includes: "Who is a human, Who is the ghost, I can see it with my eyes." and "We are not in the court room, evidence is not needed. My eyes are the evidence!". TVB then hurried to film "Moonlight Resonance", this time won't be using abalone, but instead cakes (moon cakes). The roles are also all switched around, LSK continues to play the miserable first wife, in the last series the sweet young sister Michelle Yim turns into a villain, fighting for "flowery heart" (player) husband Ha Yu. As for Susanna Kwan, this time she plays LSK's sister who is snobby, direct and mean younger sister, also collaborates with Michelle to snatch LSK's old bakery, leaving her in a dilemma both back and front, can't help but excitingly say the golden line "Humans do, Heaven watches" to fight back! The younger generation gets very complicated, Raymond Lam rumored to be the future TV King from this series, where he plays LSK's second oldest son, taking Moses Chan's place as the loyal and caring for family son - "Manage Family Boy" (Goon Ka Jai). For relationships, Raymond and Moses will both be in a triangle relationship. Raymond, Linda Chung and Bosco Wong; Moses, Kate Tsui and Tavia Yeung. Tonight's family crisis premieres again!

Undertaking the last series of breaking TV ratings record of 48 points and was the most focused on at the TVB Anniversary, audience members look forward to this sequel. The production crew of "Moonlight Resonance" (MR) faces invisible pressures, the producer Lau Ka Ho and editor Cheung Wah Bui leads the production of MR.

MR and HOG have two different relationships and stories

Producer Lau Ka Ho emphasizes that "Moonlight Resonances" is not the sequel to "Heart of Greed", the correct regard should be Sister Productions because the relationships and stories are not the same. He frankly said: "'Heart' is actually too powerful, when we needed the whole cast to film a new series, there was definitely a challenge. There were two phrases that constantly reminded us: "Needs to be similar to 'Heart", but cannot be too similar to 'Heart'". The meaning is that the relationships and stories aren't the same, but needs to maintain what the audience liked to watch. This time, the completion of "Moonlight" is a collaborative success, a group of artistes, directors and scriptwriters sacrificed a lot of hard work, I need to Thank them."

Coming up with the Golden Lines, needed to find "Old People Words"

Cheung Wah Biu said: "We hope that "Moonlight" will give audience a moved feeling, actually behind the scenes production crew said that there are many touching stories, everyone worked hard. Following "Heart", scriptwriters were youngsters of 20 or more years of age, they are totally aggressive, where they constantly go home and ask their parents, grandfather what kinds of "old people words" they use. The purpose is to write a good story for families to watch. This time, the series is specially a collective creation, during the meetings each person give their opinion as they put the script together, many difficulties arise." Audience members are also very curious on what Golden Lines that will be used in this series, he said: "In Moonlight, the 'old people's words' were used a lot more than the last series, but as to which ones are the Golden Lines, that will need to be decided by the audience!" Lau Ka Ho added: "Our biggest purpose is that we hope fans would be just as impressed as with "Heart" and will not get disappointed. (A perspective that cannot be defeated?)Absolutely nothing to do with pride (face), being in the television circle for so many years, I understand that its not this is not the matter, the most important thing is to hear audience say that they can't wait to watch "Heart" with its original cast members, don't want to disappoint them."

Michelle Yim's performance of a Villain is very natural

After the collaboration of "Heart", there is a better grasp of the actors' characters. Lau Ka Ho said: "LSK is the pontoon type, others get frustrated, she remains low volumed, everyone then calms down; Susanna Kwan has good speaking skills, all the argument dialogues, is not a challenge for her, she spends a lot of time to get familiar with the script; Ha Yu has a sense of humor; Raymond Lam's last love relationship ended, this time we continued Raymond and Linda's fate, also made him a moon cake boy, a strong contrast to "Heart"; Michelle Yim decided to play the villain, her performance was very natural."

Producer denies bumping Raymond for TV King

"Moonlight" and "Heart" biggest difference is that one ends with a broken family, this one a broken family reunites and ends happily on Moon Festival. When the series started filming, there were negative rumors circulating, stating that this series was to bump Raymond up for TV King, Moses screen time would decrease and won't have a happy ending? Lau Ka Ho had no breathe and said: "Really gonna kill me, the production crew never did thought about this, we arranged Raymond to be "Manage Family Boy" and LSK wanted this series to have a fresh feeling, also we already prepared ahead of time that this will be a happy ending, the rumors are false. But having discussions isn't a bad thing, at least it will be spoken about till the Anniversary!"

Moonlight Resonance Producer denies bumping Raymond Lam up for TV King

HOG/MR producers speak about the production process of Moonlight Resonances, they two different series

Last year, "Heart of Greed" triggered the "HOG Fever", the audiences were excitingly chasing to see the scenes with Dai Kai and Sai Kai - Lee Si Kei (LSK) and Susanna Kwan, first and second wife battling against each other. The golden lines includes: "Who is a human, Who is the ghost, I can see it with my eyes." and "We are not in the court room, evidence is not needed. My eyes are the evidence!". TVB then hurried to film "Moonlight Resonance", this time won't be using abalone, but instead cakes (moon cakes). The roles are also all switched around, LSK continues to play the miserable first wife, in the last series the sweet young sister Michelle Yim turns into a villain, fighting for "flowery heart" (player) husband Ha Yu. As for Susanna Kwan, this time she plays LSK's sister who is snobby, direct and mean younger sister, also collaborates with Michelle to snatch LSK's old bakery, leaving her in a dilemma both back and front, can't help but excitingly say the golden line "Humans do, Heaven watches" to fight back! The younger generation gets very complicated, Raymond Lam rumored to be the future TV King from this series, where he plays LSK's second oldest son, taking Moses Chan's place as the loyal and caring for family son - "Manage Family Boy" (Goon Ka Jai). For relationships, Raymond and Moses will both be in a triangle relationship. Raymond, Linda Chung and Bosco Wong; Moses, Kate Tsui and Tavia Yeung. Tonight's family crisis premieres again!

Undertaking the last series of breaking TV ratings record of 48 points and was the most focused on at the TVB Anniversary, audience members look forward to this sequel. The production crew of "Moonlight Resonance" (MR) faces invisible pressures, the producer Lau Ka Ho and editor Cheung Wah Bui leads the production of MR.

MR and HOG have two different relationships and stories

Producer Lau Ka Ho emphasizes that "Moonlight Resonances" is not the sequel to "Heart of Greed", the correct regard should be Sister Productions because the relationships and stories are not the same. He frankly said: "'Heart' is actually too powerful, when we needed the whole cast to film a new series, there was definitely a challenge. There were two phrases that constantly reminded us: "Needs to be similar to 'Heart", but cannot be too similar to 'Heart'". The meaning is that the relationships and stories aren't the same, but needs to maintain what the audience liked to watch. This time, the completion of "Moonlight" is a collaborative success, a group of artistes, directors and scriptwriters sacrificed a lot of hard work, I need to Thank them."

Coming up with the Golden Lines, needed to find "Old People Words"

Cheung Wah Biu said: "We hope that "Moonlight" will give audience a moved feeling, actually behind the scenes production crew said that there are many touching stories, everyone worked hard. Following "Heart", scriptwriters were youngsters of 20 or more years of age, they are totally aggressive, where they constantly go home and ask their parents, grandfather what kinds of "old people words" they use. The purpose is to write a good story for families to watch. This time, the series is specially a collective creation, during the meetings each person give their opinion as they put the script together, many difficulties arise."

"Moonlight Resonance" will broadcast next week, yesterday the cast members: Lee Heung Kam, Ha Yu, Lee See Kei, Susanna Kwan, Tavia Yeung, Raymond Lam, Bosco Wong and Linda Chung together attended Kee Wah Bakery for the series promotion. Heung Kam jie, Ha Yu and See Kei jie led the lion dance. TVB also especially created a pair of 「溏心載譽掀風暴家好月圓創高峰」 to help boost up the support for the series, this attracted many onlookers. The series hasn't released yet and already there are so many supporters.

Yesterday was the Producer Lau Ka Ho's birthday, so the cast members also celebrated with him. The bakery also provided a birthday cake for him as well as special giant moon cakes for each of the cast members. Rumored couple Raymond Lam and Linda Chung also the main focus, the two of them kindly stood next to each other. Other cast members often played tricks on the two, like when Bosco Wong was introducing their characters, Fala Chen and Chris Lai suddenly pulled him away, so they won't be the two's "light bulb", later when Linda and Raymond found out they immediately split apart, to avoid embarrassment

Raymond Lam & Linda Chung gets played
Linda expresses that she and Raymond Lam are good friends, therefore she will not get embarrassed, maybe in the last series (HOG) the characters were too deep that it entered to everyone's hearts. Recently she has been working hard on practicing on her singing because next month she will be releasing her album. Has she asked Raymond for advice? Linda said that he did advise her a bit, told her to relax when she sings. As for the "light bulb", Bosco laughed at himself and said that he just wanted to do his homework and do a photo shoot of them. But, he said that he himself is also very generous, in the series he accepted the couple (Raymond and Linda).

"Moonlight Resonance" has been estimated to receive the most awards this year, especially the male actors can use this series to earn the TV King status. Raymond Lam says that each year, the same thing is said, don't play him. But he has confidence for his role. He believes that there is a 20% chance that he will make it to Top 5. As for the toughest opponents, Raymond frankly said he has not thought about it, but he feels that Moses Chan and Ha Yu's acting have been really good, and that he's really impress with their performance.

Business Running Around
As for Moses Chan, he hopes that audience can enjoy the series, he has done his best. As for him and Bernice Liu's break up news, Moses was asked about it. He only expressed that at the time, he was not in Hong Kong. But he denied that he traveled because he needed to cure his wounds from the break up, his main purpose was to help his company go to Africa for a show. He also defended Bernice by saying: "Give her a break, having dinner together is very normal." He was asked again if he separated with her, he sneakily laughed and said: "I wasn't in Hong Kong watching my business, the business will naturally run around." As for his "business", is he talking about Bernice? He smiled and said that it cannot be said like that, leave some space for him. Reporters teased him claiming that he was unable to control his girlfriend, he laughed: "Don't say that la, Ah Lei Tor Fat!" [Note: "Ah Lei Tor Fat" = what Monks say from temples usually say]

Moses Chan's Naive Theory, Be Responsible to Own actions

TVB's general manager Steven Chan and executive Virginia Lok led of a group of TVB Fadan and Siu Sangs to attend a TV Awards ceremony, including Liza Wang, Lee Si Kei, Susanna Kwan, Charmaine Sheh, Myolie Wu, Moses Chan, Bernice Liu, Suki Chiu, Fala Chen, Derek Kwok and many more. The group of female artistes also dressed up nicely, but the sexiest was Suki Chiu who had on a deep V short dress. When Moses walked up to the stage to receive his award, he applied Gillian Chung's 'naive theory' into his situation saying that he can't be too naive anymore and should brush up himself.

Afterwards, Moses explains: "Before I was actually very naive, thought that Stars had many benefits, but when we grow older we realize that many things aren't that easy, adding that artistes usually do not find themselves their other half, so that's why will need to be responsible for yourself and for your actions." As for some people they like to go their own way, Moses does not feel that could happen because that is immature, a mature person should be responsible for their words and behavior, in particular during New Years and hearing about all the bad news, causes people to be unhappy, he definitely has to brush himself up more and to cherish each person around him. Asked if its because of Ah Gill's 'naive theory' that affected him to think this way? He replies that he does not understand what reporters are talking about and stresses again that people must be responsible for their own actions.

Suki changes image walks for a swim wear show
Suki became yesterday's most sexist, she smiles: "Because recently I lost some weight, so I had to do some changes to the dress, so it won't be too loose" Speaking of many Fadans appeared together with her, was she afraid of stealing the spotlight by her sexiness? She smiles: "In the future I will be more careful, but also respect others dresses and outfits. Actually I want to change my image to the cute side of me, (TVB agrees?) I haven't talked about it with them! But I know TVB accepted a swim wear show for me, as for underwear shows, I personally do not really like."

Fala Chen wore a low-cut dress, but the sexiness did not compare to Suki, to this Fala laughs: "Suki has always had a pretty good figure (Worried that your Sexy Goddess position be taken away?) I can be a Good God, but a Sexy Goddess I cannot say, I hope that audience could focus more on my acting, I don't really want to look too sexy, and do not believe that by not being sexy can lessen the income, as long as I do well acting wise, sure will earn money. For Charmaine Sheh who was in a red evening dress says that she does not feel pressure by the newcomers yet, only hope to do well on her series, and give herself more time for her love life.

Liza Wang: Derek Kwok that he has benefits when filming
When Liza and the other "War of In-Laws II" cast members went on stage to accept their award, she said that Derek got the most benefit from filming this series, because of his and Joyce Tang's love relationship. Afterwards, Derek said that Liza just wanted to make the atmosphere more lively, and as for why Joyce didn't attend yesterday? He smiles and says that he does not know and stresses again that they are not dating, asked if he would pursue Joyce? He says: "will see how my company arranges, I don't mind collaborating with Joyce as lovers again. (How about filming imitate scenes?) I have filmed bed scenes in the past! Wet kisses will have to wait." Also, Kathy Chow Man Kei in regards to younger sister Niki Chow's photo manipulation incident, she says that currently her sister is in Mainland filming and so she does not know about it. But Kathy feels that these kinds of things are very stupid, but there is no way to control it, just hope that other people will stop talking about it and stop looking, so it can just vanish.

Dai Sai Kai says to Moses Chan "Something good is Near"

After filming "Heart of Greed" Moses Chan, Lee Si Kei, Susanna Kwan and Linda Chung can be said to have gained more popularity and fortune! Taking advantage of the Lunar New Year, they all approached 1st Brother (Yat Gor) for tips and boosting up the price for the reunion dinner. Dai Sai Kai both immediately laughs at Moses "Something good is near" (好事近) (implying that he may get a girlfriend or get married soon).

Moses Chan, Dai Kai - Lee Si Kei, Sai Kai - Susanna Kwan and Linda Chung depended on only "Heart Of Greed" to boost their popularity and also gaining fortunes. Since Lunar New Year is approaching, they wanted to turn to 1st Brother for tips, after learning they made Moses treat them for an expensive dinner. Each and every dish they had were all good luck dishes, as the names suggest, just like their future (「鵬程展『翅』」) and (拳"掌"一方)!

Catching luck, on New Years day Moses Chan will be at Macau for a show, gaining new years fortunes. Asked if he would buy a gift to award himself? He says, "year 2008, I hope to buy a luxury home (ho jaak), on the first day of new years I have to work, hope that if I work more, the more I get!" When having dinner reunion, Dai Sai Kai both laughed at Moses saying "Something good is near". Moses says, "In the future I would focus on my career, love life I'll leave it to fate, so I won't bring pressure for myself." For new years, he does follow the traditions, will eat his mother's sweet made dumplings and to give new years money and also will be successful. As for giving out red pockets, he says "I would give, I don't limit on budget, if its for 'happy money' then I don't mind."

As for Lee Si Kei and Susanna Kwan's new year, they would be continuing to do concerts (dung toi), continues to give out red pockets, Si Kei Jie says "even though I won't start work until the 7th day of new year, but red pockets I will try my best to give. Last year I gave out almost a few million dollars, every year I won't be careless! Even a doggie I would give a red envelope to him." Every new year, Si Kei Jie will always buy a lot of flowers, but in recent years she didn't buy as much because they are hard to take care of. Speaking of new years wish, she says "most important is to stay healthy, for the next half of the year I would like to do stage performance, hopefully my company can arrange some time for me."

For Susanna Kwan she will be at Genting Highlands (雲頂) for a concert, she says that for many years she hasn't been to the flower markets or did she plan to buy any flowers. She will be in Mainland to celebrate new years, she has always had the tradition of paying respects to "Goon Yum", hoping that she will bless her with life and health. She says, "at the night of the 3rd day of new years, I would go to Chinatown to get "look yau yip" to bath with and also buy new pajamas and new clothes, red color would be the best! Even though I love to eat turnipcake (蘿蔔糕) and 炸芋絲, but this year I'm gonna save my pretty voice to sing. I wouldn't dare to eat too much fried foods!"

Linda Chung Sighs, Difficult to get a Boyfriend
Also, Linda Chung would like to meet up with Miss Chinese International good friend to have their dinner reunion: "this year is the first year where I can take a break and rest, I would go to friends house and accept red pockets. This year I do feel good about my success, but my health often has small problems, wish that I can stay healthy!" As for her love life, she believes that she's calm with whatever the situation is: "its hard for me to like someone and also as an artiste, there is a lot of pressure in dating."
