Christmas wishes for Gigi.

'+' = I added/edited something.

I'm planning to send a Christmas gift along with a personal note to Gigi :)

If you want to me to include your personal note.. please e-mail me:
galzrul@gmail.com

The format of your e-mail should be as follows :-

Subject: [Name] - (Christmas) Personal note to Gigi.
Content:
[Personal note]
[Name/nickname]
(Optional) [Where you live]
(Optional) [Anything else you want to add e.g. poems, drawings etc..] +

Few things to keep in mind:
~ Your personal notes will be printed, not written.
~ No worries, your note will not be shown to the public. It will be kept privately.
~ I will be sending this to Gigi's brother's clinic which she is currently managing.
~ Gigi can understand English, so you can write your letter in English! +

DEADLINE: 20th December 2009
I will not receive anything else after the deadline because I need to send it earlier so that she can receive it on Christmas, or at least before that. Lol, that is the whole point of a deadline xD

Her Viet fans sent her something for her birthday (1st October) and she received it :)
Keep your fingers crossed! Hopefully she successfully receives it.

Gigi's last movie - Team of Miracle: We Will Rock You

,Synopsis:

Lantern Street represented a nickname for abandonment. Under the shadow of the neon lights, you would come face to face with those living on the streets, sleeping without any shelters. They were loners coming from all walks of lives. Here, the time clock seemed to freeze, and people were trapped here from the outside world.

But as a Chinese proverb saying, “Under the heaven, there is no dead end, God already prepares a way out” At the other corner of Lantern Street, a zealous social worker “Tung” persevered to lead the hopeless ones to find their way out, in return, he brought dignity and hope back to these people’s lives again. Tung pledged his life to help those hard core homeless folks, who were among the hardest ones to reach and change, because they too had already given up on themselves.

One day, Tung was inspired with the idea that football games could be a good opportunity to seek out the “Lost Sheep Away From Home”. Even though Tung was an amateur to football, and there was no substantial support, he determined to pioneer a football team, like a “light” to shine upon Lantern Street’s homeless souls. Tung took up the challenge and recruited the homeless folks to form the football team, which was truly an extraordinary team. Hoping that they would venture out of Hong Kong, they bravely took up the challenge to enter the tournament of the World Cup.

Based on the true story of Hong Kong's homeless soccer team, the 2009 evangelical sports film Team Of Miracle: We Will Rock You follows the moving journey of a motley group of homeless souls and zealous social workers, and their bid to participate in the Homeless World Cup. A heartwarming tale from the makers of The Miracle Box, the film stars singer Eric Suen, Mainland star Max Zhang, and popular actress Gigi Lai in her final movie, along with a supporting cast full of familiar faces like Wong Yau Nam, Yuen Wah, and Hui Siu Hung.

News:

Gigi Lai Licks Moses Chan's Feet, Thinks He Will Win Best Actor Award This Year

Gigi Lai, Moses Chan, Kevin Cheng, Yoyo Mung appeared yesterday at a promotional event for TVB anniversary series "The Ultimate Crime Fighter". Recently there were news reports saying TVB has divided into two factions, with Stephan Chan's side going against Virginia Lok's side. Gigi and Moses claimed they don't belong to any faction, they work for the company, so both Stephan and Virginia are their bosses.

In "The Ultimate Crime Fighter", Gigi will play an ugly looking girl while Moses plays a gigolo whose true identity is an undercover cop. There is a scene where Moses licks male actor Jungtang Wang's feet, at the event yesterday, Gigi imitated Moses and pretended to lick Moses' feet for him, causing much laughter.

The day before was Gigi's birthday, she spent the day at work, then visited her brother in hospital afterwards. Gigi says her brother is happy whenever he sees her, if he can't see her, he would cry and sulk, so she needs to visit him in hospital at least once at day. Her brother still needs to undergo two or three more operations.

This year, Yoyo Mung has three series "Heart of Greed", "Fathers and Sons", and "The Ultimate Crime Fighter", giving her a good chance for the best actress award. Gigi supports Moses to win the best actor award, she says he is very talented and hardworking, she wouldn't be surprised if he wins. As for best actress, she supports Lee See Kei to win because she has such great acting skills.

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

Ada Choi does not know if Gigi Lai will attend
Ada Choi is nominated for TV Queen, she smiled and said that broadcast really early this year, there is no chance for her to participate in the competition for TV Queen. As for good friend Gigi Lai, will she attend the ceremony? She said: "I don't know. I just came back from Mainland and haven't paid attention to the news. I also won't bother to know if she will attend or not, I believe she will watch TV if she has time."

Excerpt from:
Charmaine Sheh 2 nominations in same category to compete for "Female Character"

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lol why does Ada sound so mean in the article? Probably reporters misunderstood her. They're such great friends (Gigi & Ada)!
Well in my opinion, I don't think she's gonna attend :(

Will reply tags tomorrow! Sorry.

The Gem of Life - Episode 18

Constance still denies that she has a boyfriend (which is Derek).

Cute sister scene #3!

Sylvia: Wah, I thought you said you would treat us (her sisters) supper, but you cook us instant noodles instead.
Jessica: Both of you know that cooking instant noodles is one of my strengths. Cooking for both of you is already very good. And, I'm bankrupt now.
Constance: Mmm.. the noodles is not bad.
S: It's a Japanese product. The 6 dollars one is of course better than the 2 dollars one.
J: When I get my pay, I'll treat you to a big meal.
C: After you get your pay, don't you need to go buy things?
S: I don't know where all my new handbags went.
C: My new clothes are missing too.
J: Don't be like that, working at Melissa's is very pitiful. It's not only about your ability, it's also about your appearance. I'm facing a lot of pressure.. Big sister, of course you won't understand. You're the boss, you only order people to do things. 2nd sister, you wear a uniform and you don't need to date yet.
C: Wah, your boss is so troublesome. Do you have enough money to use?
J: I-
S: There you go again. Spoiling her...
J: Big sister, I know you love me too...
S: I'm telling you now, the more challenging the job, the better. But don't you let people think that you are only looking for money, you must put heart into it too.
J: You think I'm stupid? I won't let people see.
S: You don't let people see it, but your heart is still like that!
C: She's an adult, she understands.
S: She has only started working for a short period of time.
C: Her work is more challenging than ours.
S: You're just spoiling her.
C: I'm just giving her confidence.
S: She'll become haughty.
C: If you keep saying this, she'll be dispirited!

Basically, Ching Yeung, Constance's dad thinks that Ah Fat is a liar.
This changes Constance's opinion of Ah Fat.

EPISODE 17

Mr. Kam, a MaBelle customer, left his wedding ring in the toilet (?!). Ah Fat helps Constance return the ring, and ends up injuring himself.

Constance accepts Derek's courtship.

Constance and June (her friend & colleague) met Terrence at a café. At that time, Constance disliked Terrence because he 'bullied' her on the yacht (in episode 7 and episode 8). So Constance put the water from the vase into his coffee.
Suddenly, someone fainted near the toilet. Constance thought it was Terrence. She told June what she did. But it turns out that it was not Terrence who fainted. Terrence overheard and said that it was fair because she put something in his coffee and he bullied her on the yacht. Terrence wanted to be Constance's friend. Constance said if they meet again, then they'll be friends. Terrence also wanted to know what she put in his coffee :P

Derek visited Constance at her workplace. But Constance didn't want their relationship to be known.
Derek also bought her a diamond ring.

Terrence's girlfriend poured coffee over his suit (broke up). Constance coincidentally met Terrence again. Terrence asked whether Constance could help him pick a new suit.

They ate lunch together and Constance gave advice to Terrence about women. She asked him to buy something for his girlfriend from MaBelle (her workplace).
Derek saw them laughing and chatting happily. He got jealous and went over to scold Terrence.

Picture of the Fortnight! #1

I will be posting a random picture of Gigi every fortnight (2 weeks)! And of course, the story behind it :)
This sounds fun.


Bowie and Gigi.
Lol, the picture looks really cute. It's like they are announcing that they're dating or something :P

This picture was from a TVB promotional event at Beijing in 2006.

News article:

Bowie Lam Protects Gigi Lai From Eager Male Fan

Earlier this week, Gigi Lai, Bowie Lam, Sharon Chan, and Kenny Wong appeared in Beijing to promote TVB's establishment of its own network distribution in China. Gigi and Bowie have often appeared as onscreen lovers. At the promotional event, Bowie showed his attentiveness towards Gigi as well, taking her hand and leading her onstage. When an over eager male fan tried to get too close to Gigi to give her a hug, Bowie acted as "bodyguard" and blocked off the fan's advances.

Bowie held on to the male fan and said humorously, "Gigi, if you give permission for him to hug you, I will release him!"

Gigi said directly to the fan, "I think it's better for you to just hug Bowie instead!"

Bowie used his left arm to give Gigi a hug, while he used his right arm to hug the male fan. Then he said, "You've accomplished your goal now, right?" The male fan could only leave the stage at that point.

From "Healing Hands 3," "War and Beauty" to "Dance of Passion," Bowie and Gigi have collaborated on 3 series together. However their bond is very strong and at many promotional events, they appear together as a "couple." Bowie also admitted that since working with Gigi, they have always gotten along well together.

Jessica's company caught fire and thought Constance was still in it. Jessica became frantic with worry. But Constance already went back home before the office caught fire, so she was safe. Constance also found out that Jessica purposely asked her to go back to the office, so that she can have a chance with Wilson. Sylvia and Jessica (typo error) Constance decided to 'punish' Jessica by using rubber bands.
Haha Gigi's arms look toned and a tiny bit muscular here. LOL must be from all those martial arts when she was young.
