Esther Kwan Teases Bobby Au Yeung About Having Bigger Stomach Than Husband
Monday December 24, 2012 Hong Kong
Credits: to hyn5 @ http://hyn5-hyn5.blogspot.com
Yesterday, 'Onscreen Couple' Bobby Au Yeung and Esther Kwan were in Yuen Long filming the new series "Love Reverses Three Lifetimes of Fate". Although the two had to work on Christmas Even, they were fortunate enough to celebrate with their family in the evening. Collaborating again after separating for a while, the two were still in tune with each other, teasing each other off camera.
Bobby laughed at Esther for reaching a new level in acting, and also revealed that Nick Cheung would often visit the set and is getting more and more muscular: "Mr. Cheung told me to make his wife happier. Once he knew about having to film overnight, he would silently come and visit the set, even bringing along some abs! His arm is double my size". Esther laughingly said, "His stomach is not bigger than yours!" Regarding her husband's devoted care, she feels warm inside. Although her husband frequently gets injured from filming, Esther said that she would not order him to decrease dangerous performances...would just tell him to take care of himself: "He is actually careful; however, sometimes the storyline requires it. No one wants accidents to happen!" Ben Wong, who was also on set, had a horse-riding scene. He expressed that he got injured from falling off the back of a horse before...a haunting traumatic experience.

Is Esther Kwan pregnant with her second child?
The former Hong Kong TVB actress is rumoured to be pregnant again after spotting a fuller figure while on a shopping spree
Former Hong Kong TVB actress, Esther Kwan and husband, actor Nick Cheung tied the knot in 2003 and have a six-year-old daughter, Brittany. Esther retired from the Hong Kong showbiz industry in 2008 to spend more time with her family.
Nick and Esther have expressed their love for kids and intend to try for a second child. Esther reportedly underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment previously but there has been no good news yet.
Esther, who was clad in a baggy long dress with flats, was seen shopping alone in Hong Kong recently. The 48-year-old has always maintained a svelte figure, so rumours of pregnancy began to arise after she was spotted with a fuller figure and a slightly more prominent abdomen.
On the other hand, Nick did not accompany his family that night and attended a dinner gathering with friends. He stood outside the restaurant and interacted with the staff for quite some time before driving off for home

Nick Cheung becomes his daughter's 'second most loved' person
Sunday June 19, 2011 Hong Kong
Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianuniverse.net/forums/
Currently losing weight for his new film, Nick Cheung appeared at the Tsim Sha Racecourse for the The 2nd Watch Premier Cup Race Day. Yesterday was Father's Day, Nick said his daughter is forever his 'second most loved', he said: "My daughter said she loved me to millions and millions, but when she said she loved her mom (Esther Kwan), it is to 'infinity'. I just want to see them happy, then I'm happy."
He will soon rush over to Beijing for the Treasure Inn promotion. When speaking of Nicholas Tse, whom is currently rumored to be in marriage crisis, will also be at the promotion, Nick laughed: "When the time comes, he will show up. We have to talk about the movie as quickly as possible before he appears. (His publicity surpasses yours?) No, because his news is very shocking, so the media just wants him to speak out." As for himself, he does not want to bother Nic, so his initial plans to Kuala Lumpur to visit the set was cancelled too: "We don't talk about gossips when we see each other, even if he wants to tell me, I stop him because I don't want to gossip about his family matters." He feels that Nic can handle the situation.
Yesterday Nic met his TVB old colleagues Raymond Lam and Winnie Young again, which made him crave for shooting TV series again. He said: "I want to shoot a TVB series, but I'm afraid I can't handle the difficulty. I don't want colleagues to accommodate me, even if I'm just guest starring it's still like half dead, so the chance is pretty small." Reporters teased that shooting TV series requires a chok look. He joked: "Chok, I haven't played with in a long time. Mines is the natural chok!"

As her daughter is about to go to school "Five Flavors of Life" will be her last TV series. In the future she will choose simple and smaller jobs. She stated that her daughter will enter a international school and has a 6 month probation period. This was the first time she had ever heard of probation periods in schools.

Nick Cheung & Esther Kwan Film Ad Together
Best actor, Nick Cheung Ka Fai and wife, Esther Kwan Wing Hor, filmed an ad for a mainland decorative items brand for a seven figure fee. The company planned the ad concept for half a year, using the backdrop of the wealthy Xiguan merchant image. Thus it was important to choose ad models who could convey the Xiguan merchant image. After four months of consultation, the company found Nick and Esther to be the most suitable couple. Aside from their talented performing skills, they also have a healthy image and fit the ad image.
On the day of the ad shoot, Nick exclaimed upon seeing the luxurious set, "Wow! The set looks beautiful!” After filming several intimate poses in which the couple looked into each others’ eyes, Nick and Esther could not refrain from laughing, causing multiple re-takes. The couple rarely gazed at each other so intimately in the presence of other people. However, Nick and Esther successfully completed the filming.

Roger waited for his wife to gain weight before having a baby; Michelle Yim may get married at the spur of the moment
Yesterday, Roger Kwok, Esther Kwan, Michelle Yim, Vivien Yeo, Derek Kwok, Regen Cheung (from Hotcha), etc. attended the costume fitting for the new series “Five Tastes of Life”. Liza Wang visited and handed out “marriage candies”. Roger hopes that Liza and Law Ka Ying will be happy after marriage. He expressed that Liza showed her feminine side yesterday, as opposed to her usual aggressive nature. He jokingly said, “Liza is even better now, becoming the woman of all women”.
Roger’s wife Cindy Au had two miscarriages in the past. He was worried about her health, and said that if they were to have a baby again, she needs to nurture her health and gain weight. In this series, Roger will be in a relationship with Esther. He will also act out two roles. In one role he will be old and act as Michelle’s husband. Roger and Vivien will play brother and sister. Overall, he will take on roles with his age ranging from young to old.
As for Liza asking her when she will get married, Michelle laughed and said that she’s happy for her. Once she found out about Liza’s marriage, Michelle and her boyfriend sent her a text message, wishing them to be a forever loving couple. As for when she will get married? Michelle said that being happy is most important. Every year, she would go to Los Vegas for vacation with her boyfriend, but this year they did not go. When asked if she had the urge to get married when they were in Los Vegas, Michelle laughed and said, “Yes, but it was just for a short moment. (Boyfriend proposed?) Yes, but it was nothing special. He only mentioned getting married when he said others getting married”. With regards to marriage, Michelle expressed, “It depends on the mood. Maybe at the spur of the moment”.
Vivien Yeo waits to receive a large diamond stone
In the series, Vivian Yeo plays a social butterfly. Although Aloys Chen has a crush on her, she will like the rich Oscar Leung. Earlier, it was reported that Vivien is money hungry. When asked if her role in the series depicts how she is in reality? She said that it doesn’t. It was rumored many wealthy men are pursuing her and someone even gave her a pair of earrings as a birthday gift. She said, “It someone gave me a large diamond stone, I would accept it. Afterward, I would decide if it is possible for us to be together. If I know that by giving me a present, he expects me to give something to him in return, then I would not accept it. Feelings can not be expressed by money. I hope to rely on myself to make money”.

Bobby Au Yeung’s Professionalism stops any rumours

Bobby Au Yeung’s Professionalism stops any rumours
Bobby Au Yeung has worked with numerous actresses one series after another. But he had never been reported to have rumours with any of them. Bobby states that he clearly knows what is real and what is acting. Therefore he doesn’t have a problem in breaking out of the character after the scene. Due to his professionalism, no wonder he is not rumoured even with the most gossiped actresses.
Bobby had worked with actresses such as Charmaine Sheh, Ada Choi, Yoyo Mung, Esther Kwan, Jessica Hester Hsuan etc in many different drama’s. Even though there had been many intimate and kissing scenes, he will never have real sparks with any of them during filming. “I already have my other half. This mean’s I can use this excuse to clear my mind that the actresses I am working with are just colleagues. I have never had an experience where I was unable to break out of the character after the scene. After filming I will not even make contact with the actress, as this will stop any misunderstandings. But because you see your colleagues day and night obviously you will make many good friendships. Just like when I worked with Nick Cheung and Benz Hui, we didn’t want to apart. ( Does that mean your wife feel’s very comfortable with you acting?) “Of course, actually she looks down on me by saying that nobody wants me”.
Bobby jokes by saying he is a lucky star and often gives good fate to colleagues he’s worked with. “ Just like Nick Cheung and Esther Kwan, Ada Choi and Max Zhang, Yoyo Mung is also very happy. Let’s jchaust say that everyone has a better tomorrow with me around”.

Esther Kwan in TVB sitcom "Best Selling Secrets" plays a strong woman and has been a memorable role, recently she has attracted the brand OTO who invited her to be the spokesperson of their new product 「OTO頸肩鬆」. This time she is invited to be "Wong Ka Lam" in the advertisement where she promotes a strong, smart and capable woman character to all modern women out there.
As Esther in reality is a good wife and mother and also a good housekeeper. The new product's targeted audience are Office Ladies (OL) and other peaceful housewives, so using Esther as the spokesperson is the perfect choice. This time Esther filmed the advertisement for two days, including TV Ad and a photo shoot. Esther generously posed for the shots.

Esther Kwan responds to quitting "Best Selling Secrets" & Alan Tang's scolding

Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianeu.net/forums/

Because Esther Kwan wants to look after her daughter, December of last year she decided to quit filming "Best Selling Secrets". Asked if she is having another baby, she says if one comes, she would happily accept and will not reject. Yesterday Esther Kwan accepted a radio interview, after expressing that she will quit filming "Best Selling Secrets", she says that currently she is still contracted with TVB, therefore she cannot say this will be her retirement (meaning - may not leave showbiz for good). (YAY!)
Esther expresses that before new years, she filmed her last episode for "Best". As this decision of quitting is secret, she did not officially bid farewell to everyone, only had a reunion meal with the cast as a goodbye. Asked if she quits because she has a change of heart to focus on taking care of her daughter? She says frankly, Yes, one time when she started filming, Brittany (her daughter) fell and hurt herself. At the time Esther was not able to stay by Brittany's side, leaving Esther in guilt. There is a rumor that Esther is pregnant for the second time, asked if she plans to have another child? Esther expresses that she will not reject if one comes, but would be rather happy. She does not care if its a boy or girl, she would be happy either way. She will left everything flow naturally and will not give herself too much pressure.
In the past Esther collaborated with Fei Jie in series "A Recipe from the Heart". She feels great grief towards Lydia's death. Others might think Lydia is mean/strict, but Esther strongly agrees with one of Lydia's sayings and that is to be punctual and enjoy your job as well as respecting it. Speaking of Alan Tang Kwong Wing publicly scolding Adam at Lydia's Farewell Memorial, she feels that the most important thing is how Joyce sees and feels about the situation. Their father-daughter relationship is only known to Joyce and Adam themselves, no one else. But big brother Tang has a really deep friendship with Lydia. Big Brother has his own thoughts, we outsiders (non-related people) should not bother too much.

Esther Kwan blows off "Best Selling Secrets": She leaves the series

Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianeu.net
Source: The Sun
Esther Kwan the female lead of TVB's sitcom "Best Selling Secrets" unexpectedly decided to quit! The entire crew also feels its very sudden and also rumored that she has another baby for her reason to quit.
The 24/7 mother Esther Kwan has always worried about her daughter, always do everything first for her daughter, therefore she does not meet up with cast members very much. But, before CNY she suddenly wanted to have a dinner reunion with the BSS crew, afterwards, it was revealed that the script has changed and the character Wong Ka Lam will be taken out and leave for a long vacation. Everyone feels that the dinner reunion was actually the farewell dinner!
The other cast members has often tried to test Esther and see what was the real reason why she took off, but she did not say anything, only that she is only taking a 2 month break. She admits that after her break is over, she would return to filming. Although the cast said that because she is pregnant so she decided to quit, however the truth is not that! Because Esther and Nick are both working at the same time, she is worried that no one will be able to take care of her daughter, also she hopes to have another baby, and so she decides to stop working. So, taking a long break is just an excuse, she will not be returning to the BSS crew!
"Best"'s producer Mr. Lo (羅鎮岳) admits that Esther's parts will be finished first, before she leaves for a long vacation and other all parts related to Esther will finish broadcasting at the end of this month (March). He denies that its because she does not care and just leave, its because she needs to take care of her daughter. She has once suggested to proceed, but was not successful. Mr. Lo strongly emphaizes that the series will not be affected. He has confidence that it will maintain its quality, because there are many themes in the series and also added many different cast members such as Wong He and Suki Chui, etc.
Nick Cheung: She wants to take care of daughter
The media has tried to contact Esther Kwan, but she has not responded yet.

Esther Kwan & Anita Yuen Bring Kids to See Show

Children's theater program, "Jack and the Beanstalk" has been playing in Hong Kong. Numerous celebrity parents brought their children to watch the show. At yesterday's performance, Esther Kwan, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Anita Yuen Wing Yee, Wong Pui Ha, Carol Yeung Ling, Kei Kei, Mimi Kung Chi Yan and Hong Chi Lei were spotted in attendance.
Esther indicated that her daughter, Brittany, already saw "Jack and the Beanstalk" last year. Since Brittany enjoyed the show previously, Esther decided to bring her again.
Brittany is currently 2 years old. Esther revealed that she provided Brittany with English instruction and brought her to children's playgroups. Did Esther spend a lot of money in raising Brittany? Dependent upon Brittany's interests and skills, Esther will focus on developing those areas.
Allegedly, it cost $4 million (HKD) to raise a child. Esther laughed and said she did not calculate the costs. However, she believed the figure was overstated and that it did not cost that much to raise a child. However, if Brittany required certain professional instruction, Esther does not mind in paying for the fees. If Brittany does well in school, she might receive government aid in her education.
Esther invested in a fund to assist in paying for Brittany's future education. Due to inflation and that it was difficult to predict their future financial situation and inflation, Esther believed it was best to plan for the future.
Anita Yeun Said Son Lacks Patience
Anita Yuen revealed that her son, Morton, is currently 15 months old. Concerned that Morton would be unable to sit still to watch the entire show, Anita brought an ample supply of snacks. Since Morton is quite rambunctious, the family often sit in a private room when they dine out to avoid disturbing others. Morton's personality is similar to Anita's in lacking patience.
Due to the recent exposure of Edison Chen's sex photos, did Anita consider how she will discuss such matters with Morton [in the future]? Reading various children's psychology books, Anita said she will be able to discuss these matters with him appropriately.
Siu Fong Fong indicated that the sex photo scandal was a prime opportunity for parents to educate their children properly. Anita agreed and noted that some of her friends intend to reserve the topic for future discussion with their grown children.
However, Anita will not save the sex photo topic for future discussion with Morton. Times will change and the topic may no longer be appropriate.
In raising children, Anita felt that the most important lesson was to teach them how to protect themselves.

Anita Yuen and Flora Chan Party With Their Babies - Nicky Cheung Invites 100 Guests For Daughter’s B-Day,

Two years ago, Ester Kwan and Nick Cheung welcomed the birth of their daughter Brittany.
Brittany turned two on January 24th. Mr. and Mrs. Cheung wanted Brittany to have an
unforgettable birthday so they spent +HK$10000 to close down a McDonald for her party.
They invited Chilam Cheung, Flora Chan, and nearly 100 guests for the celebration.
They are such good parents!
Last Sunday, Nick and Ester both requested a day off to host their daughter’s birthday party.
To avoid the press, the two picked a McDonald located at Central’s Smithfield Road to host the party. They even reserved the entire second floor. The 100 guest needed to show an invitation to identified themselves. This was done so uninvited guests could not slip past the door.
A conservative estimation showed that +HK$10000 was needed for the party.
The party started around two o’clock with the guests continuously arriving at the location.
Some guests included Chilam Cheung, Anita Yuen and their son 慕童, 上山詩納 (Anna) and daughter, and Joan Tong with her daughter. Even the seldom seen Flora Chan, husband Mike and daughter arrived at the party.
To capture these precious memories, Nick paid a photographer to take pictures of the party.
The children at the party all wanted to have their picture taken with Brittany. Chilam’s son Morton enjoyed playing with the other children. He was very active and ran all over the place.
Anita would often chase after him.
Flora and her daughter wore matching outfits. She was carrying her daughter as she chit-chatted with Chilam. She also had her daughter wave her hands to say hello to everyone! Even though the party was scheduled to end at five o’clock, Flora and her daughter left around 4:30 pm.
She was in charge of carrying her daughter while her husband went to get the baby stroller.
The star of the night Brittany was carried away by Nick. But Brittany would constantly look back at the McDonald and her expression suggested that she didn’t want to leave. Nick had to use a gentle force to put her into the car. Chilam and Anita wanted to avoid the reporters so Anita’s father took Morton home first. Morton had very sharp eyes and he spotted the reporters.
Chilam and Anita left McDonalds at differing times.
