With the upcoming Lunar New Year, Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Raymond Lam Fung, Charmaine Sheh Shi Man, and Sharon Chan Man Chi can be seen on TV with "Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion" currently being broadcast in Hong Kong.

Each of the actors have their special characteristics: Bosco is playful, Raymond is quick witted, Charmaine is placid, and Sharon is lively. Although their personalities are different, they get along and work well together.

Raymond Lam on Harmony: "The most important thing is being comfortable. Sometimes you have to place others ahead of yourself, but if other people's thinking is really incompatible, then you can't force it. You say more with people you get along with and even if you don't have a lot in common, you can still say hi. As long as everyone is comfortable."

How Others See Raymond
Bosco: "Raymond is a gentleman. He is a very calm person. But I still like to joke around with him!"
Charmaine: "As we act as a couple in the series, we have a lot of scenes together. I got to know Raymond's generosity; his thinking is also very mature for his age. He has a definite opinion on many matters in life."
Sharon: "Actually, Raymond is a big kid, but he is very serious when it comes to work. He is very clear on his feelings and very attentive. During the filming of 'Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion,' I fell sick. Raymond especially found a traditional Chinese doctor to cure my illness."

Raymond is afraid of the cold weather but he wants to dress nicely, so he spends more time on accessorizing. "Red is the color for Lunar New Year. The year of the dog is unlucky for me, if I had to wear red underwear to ward off bad luck, I would do so. But if I have to wear it outside, it wouldn't look good. The red sweater that I am wearing now is good; it is not too hot indoors. I am afraid of the cold, so I always wear a scarf. The hand-knit scarves from my fans are very useful."
Raymond's father is very good at cooking pickled dishes. "My father's hometown pickled pork is very delicious! I don't have the opportunity to eat it often, but we always have it for New Year! Also his pan-fried noodles are excellent!"
"Two years ago, I started giving out red envelopes to my parents, siblings, relatives, grandmother, and colleagues at work. Although the amount is not large, it's the thought that counts. You don't have to be married to give out red envelopes. Once you start working, it's nice to give to family members. But honestly, it is quite costly."
"This year I would love to attend the flower market, but I will not have the opportunity. I will be heading to China to film 'Tai Chi' and will not be familiar with the surroundings there. I am afraid of muggers, as they are quite aggressive during New Year."
"Each year, my home will have a big tangerine tree. The tree is taller than me. We hang red envelopes filled with money on its tree branches."

Charmaine On Harmony: "If you want others to treat you well, you have to do the same as well. You have to be polite, affable and try to help others. You can not be selfish."

How Others See Charmaine
Bosco: "At first I thought Charmaine was very reserved, but she can be quite playful. She will play tricks on you sometimes. For example, when I was filming close-up scenes, she would stand by and tickle my leg."
Raymond: "We are very compatible and work well together. Although Charmaine is older than me, she does not feel like an older sister though."
Sharon: "She is like an older sister to me, a level above Bosco and Raymond. At first I thought she was quite cool, but she is actually very playful and humorous. We like to have hot pot together. One day, a trick was being played on both of us, but Charmaine ran away quickly and I ended up with soda all over me."

A lot of girls like to wear traditional Chinese outfits for New Year, but Charmaine feels differently, "When I was young, I used to wear traditional outfits for New Year too. But after entering the industry, I have worn many ancient costumes, so it is no longer fresh. I like to wear modern clothes for New Year, preferrably red and sharp colors."
During New Year, Charmaine's grandmother would make red bean pastries. She would forbid anyone from entering the kitchen. "
Grandmother said that if everyone is crowding the kitchen, then she will say the wrong things, bringing bad luck to the New Year. But when you tell children not to do something, they are more curious. Everytime we go in the kitchen, then grandmother would end up scolding us."
"A few years ago, I went to the flower market with a few colleagues. The market was very crowded, so our group got separated shortly. Around 2 AM, we were able to meet up again. We ate a few snacks and I bought some of my favorite flowers; I was very happy. Now I don't have a chance to go to the flower market again. This year, I have to work. For actors, Lunar New Year is a good time to make money. In China, the atmosphere is exciting, filled with firecrackers and lion dances."
"Every year, I place the Chinese New Year Greeting posters at my home. I always buy the narcissus bulbs and watch them blossom. I think they are very beautiful and fragrant; it is my favorite New Year flower."

Bosco On Harmony: "You have to take into account other people. Although you may be good friends, you are not always 100% compatible."

How Others See Bosco
Raymond: "Bosco and I are good friends. When I first entered the industry, we have already worked together. Although we may not always be in touch, but we have a good time when we do meet up, as we are both young people."
Charmaine: "Bosco likes to treat others for food. He knows how to cook and I have tried a few of his dishes. When we were filming in China, during break we didn't want to eat in the canteen. So we went to his room, which was equipped with an electric rice cooker. Under those circumstances, we still had a home cooked meal!"
Sharon: "Bosco is even more playful than Raymond. When we were filming 'Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion,' he conspired with the production crew and poured soda into my ears. Despite this, we work well together. Bosco is a simple person; he is like a big brother who gives me advice on acting."

In 2005, Bosco's popularity increased dramatically. The price was loss of personal time, without time for vacation. "Every New Year, I would buy new clothes, new shoes, new underwear etc. There is no particular color as long as they are new. But last year I was too busy and it was the first time I forgot to buy new underwear."
Bosco is often proud of his own cooking skills. But his mother's daikon pastry is the best. "Normally my cooking is better than hers, but when it comes to her daikon pastry, it is the best in the world."
"When I was filming 'Find the Light,' I was exhausted. I promised my mother to go to the flower market with her. But once filming wrapped up and I returned home, I fell unconscious. When I woke up, it was already the morning of New Year. Although no one blamed me because they knew I was tired from work."
"One year, I bought peach blossoms for my mother as I heard it would bring good luck. This was before I entered the industry. I bought a few branches home, but my mother scolded me. 'You should only buy one branch. It is not lucky to buy so many branches!' I still don't know how this would be an unlucky act."
"Every year, my mother would prepare grapefruit leaves [to ward off bad luck] for me to bathe in."

Sharon On Harmony: "You have to treat people with sincerity and honesty."

How Others See Sharon
Bosco: "Sharon is definitely a little girl; she needs others to take care of her most of the time. But she loves to learn!"
Raymond: "I call her my little sister, but in actuality she is older than me. I treat her like a younger brother, as she is very tomboyish. She is very straight forward and direct."
Charmaine: "Sharon is cheerful and lively. She is very direct; if she likes something, she will like it. If she doesn't like it, she will not like it. She is a good friend to have."

Ever since she was young, Sharon has had long hair. "When I was young, I would put them in two ponytails during New Year. I like to wear traditional Chinese outfits for New Year. Red is a lucky color. I would accessorize with a fashion update with jeans and long boots."
Sharon is well known for her love of food, but fear of gaining weight. She will eat more during Lunar New Year, as her mother's pastries are delicious. "When I think of my mother's pastries, I already want to eat them. So I always gain weight over the holiday! No matter how busy I am, I will always drive my mother to the flower market to buy flowers for New Year."
"When I was 6 years old, we went to China to celebrate New Year. There were firecrackers and the atmosphere was more lively than Hong Kong. I have never played with firecrackers before and was afraid I would get hurt. When the firecrackers exploded and the chickens ran away fearfully, I thought it was quite funny."
"In my home, all the Chinese New Year Greetings posters are hand written. When I was young, my father taught me how to write them. I don't buy them as I like to write them myself; it has a better feel to it."
"During New Year, red envelopes are very important to me. I would visit my relatives with my mother and count how much money I received, hoping that each year the sum grows. After I return home, I would place them underneath my pillow for good luck. When I was young, I would put part of the money I received in the bank and use the rest to buy toys."

Pearl's Note: Although this is an old article, all the way from last year lolzz, I thought a lot of new CharRay fans might not have seen it yet so I decided to post it up! Hope you guys enjoy reading this.
CharRay seems so compatible with their answers. They both said they get along and work well together. Even though Ray is younger, Charm thought of him as a very mature and Ray doesn't think of her as an older sister at all!! hint... hint... ;)

Official Synopsis (translated by sehseh)
Posted by: Range

A Fated Encounter

Ming Dynasty's society has stabilized. Fung Hang Lit (Raymond Lam) is a descendant of Mongolian royalty, but due to short term memory loss, he has no desire to avenge his country. Instead, he longed for a carefree life and lives reclusively with his true love deep in the woods. In order to please his lover Gum Bing Wan (Sonija Kwok), he decides to return to the wuxia world to look for the Rain Ceasing Sword, as a result encountering Hon Pak (Bosco Wong).

Hon Pak was a lowly servant in Lord Yin’s mansion. He doesn’t know martial art, but due to fate, the Rain Ceasing Sword falls into his possession. However, the sword was stolen by Fung. Hon goes after the sword and from enemies, became friends with Fung. The world is unpredictable. Hon bumped into the top martial artist Chek Jun Sun (Kwok Fung) who passed all his internal energy to him, making Hon a top martial artist overnight. On the other hand, Fung was betrayed by Gum, becoming a tool for Pong Ban's (Derek Kwok) martial art practice. In this way Pong Ban completed his dark energy martial arts. Fung lost all his martial arts and was hunted down by Pong Ban, luckily Hon came to his rescue at the critical moment.

Caught between sentiments and righteousness.

Hon Pak reconcile with his long lost father, Grand General Hui Yeuk Mo (Hui Siu Hung). General Hui in turn presents Hon to Emperor Chu (Ko Hung), thus Hon’s position was elevated.

Pong Ban was actually the Grand Visor of Yuan Dynasty. He patiently practices his dark martial arts and secretly plans to rebuild Yuan dynasty. He recognizes Fung as a Mongolian royalty descendant. Therefore, he drove Fung to the edge, making him understand that the Mongolians are suffering under Emperor Chu’s cruel reign and he should bear the responsibility of saving his own clan. Conflict appears as Fung wants to overthrow Ming dynasty while Hon was Emperor Chu’s most trusted person.

Rain Ceasing Sword. Cloud Ruling Sabre.

Fung realized that in order to rebuild Yuan, his biggest obstacle is Hon. Hon’s Cloud Ruling Sabre was supreme, and in addition he succeeded Long Fan Wan's (David Chiang) number one sect: Raging Dragon Sect. Fung has no definite chance to defeat him. At that moment, Pong Ban discovered a secret in the Rain Ceasing Sword. It appears that the Rain Ceasing Sword is the king of all swords, and it embodies a powerful martial art: The Diagram of War God.

To learn "War God", one must first learn the powerful internal energy “Heart of Sword”. And the only person in the martial art world who succeeded to learn this level was Chun Mung Yiu (Charmaine Sheh). Chun is not only the eldest disciple of “Qi Hong Jing Zai” (Sacred Sect), she’s also the pillar of Ming Dynasty. Fung decides to manipulate Chun using love.

Conspiracy

Emperor Chu is aging. In the royal court, the only talented person is Lord Yin, Chu Di (Evergreen Mak). Fung manipulates the situation and accused Lord Yin of trying to assasinate Emperor Chu, thus the emperor wants to kill Lord Yin. No one knows that Grand Duke Yun (Lee Tin Yu) is the true conspirator of the Mongolians.

After Grand Duke Yun ascends the throne, he ordered the imperial troops to seize Lord Yin. Hon Pak and Chun Mung Yiu braved death and rescued Lord Yin from the imperial city. Yun promoted Fung to General of Borders while Lord Yin is now the goverment fugitive, conspiring with the imperial courts...

At this time, Fung has already learned the secret of the Rain Ceasing Sword. With his martial art more superior that Hon Pak's Cloud Ruling Sabre; who will win? Who will be defeated when they meet? Whose hand will the country fall into?

Characters and Martial Arts Evaluation

Long Fan Wan – David Chiang

Long Fan Wan was Central Plain's number one fighter. Before Ming Dynasty was established, Long assisted Emperor Chu to build his empire. He doesn’t expect that when the Han forces won, Emperor Chu will kill off their ally so that he could control the whole country. Feeling indignant, Long created his own sect and this made him a thorn in Emperor Chu’s eyes. To protect the martial art world, he united all the eight major sects to fight against Pong Ban and foreign forces. Long trained hard to achieve a breakthrough in his martial art, and through the company of Guk Zi Sin, he finally let go of his sentiments for his dead wife. In the end, he was enlightened and battled with Pong Ban.

Weaponry: Cloud Ruling Sabre.
There's cloud motif on the sabre. The blade will change according to the owner's martial art level. When the owner's level has reached the top, the blade will have a bright and translucent appearance.

Level: Superior

Pong Ban - Derek Kwok

Pong Ban practiced the highest level of evil martial art; "The Devil Heart", and defeated many powerful opponents from both Han and Mongolian races, earning him the title "Most Powerful" in the martial art world. Pong Ban does not desire to merely dominate the martial art world. Destroying Ming Dynasty and restoring the Mongolian kingdom are his life long ambition. At the surface, he appears to be hurting Fung Hang Lit, but actually he is assisting Fung to learn "The Devil Heart" to the level of surpassing even himself.

Weaponry: Flexible Sword (Xiphoid)
Pong Ban has only one real arm, the fake arm conceals a flexible sword. The palm is the sword handle, to withdraw the blade.

Level: Superior

Fung Hang Lit - Raymond Lam

Descendant from Mongolian royalty, he is a rare talent in the martial art world. Fung Hang Lit was betrayed by his wife Gum Bing Wan to become Pong Ban’s tool in practicing energy, causing him to lose all his martial art. After that, he was pursued by Pong Ban and luckily Hon Pak came to his rescue. The two become good friends.

Later, Fung met Chun Mung Yiu. Mung Yiu found out that Fung was betrayed by her sect sister Bing Wan, thus she feels sorry for him. She helped him to look for his sifu Li Yeuk Hoi, and Fung finally regains some of his power. Fung and Mung Yiu were trapped in the evil master’s mansion and after repeatedly going through life and death together, they created a deep bond. Fung coincidently found Bing Wan but she drove her sword through his chest. He felt a form of energy in his body that was purposely left by Pong Ban. Pong Ban wants him to see the real world and regain his identity as Mongolian royalty.

After much advice from Pong Ban, Fung channeled all his feelings into hatred, vowing to ruin Ming dynasty and rebuild his lost dynasty. Fung schemed to draw Hon Pak and Emperor Chu together, placing the martial arts world and government in great perils. He also used love to move Mung Yiu, using her to learn “The Heart of Sword” so that he can discover the secret behind the Rain Ceasing Sword and attain a powerful martial art. He does not hesitate to fight Hon Pak, as he is determined to restore Yuan Dynasty.

Weaponry: Retractable Cudgel (a stick which can be turned long and short) and the Rain Ceasing Sword.

He was renamed Hon Pak (Pak means cypress) and grew up in Lord Yin’s manor as a servant. Due to destiny, he gains possession of the Rain Ceasing Sword which has been missing for over 10 years and offered it to Lord Yin. Using the sword as bait, Lord Yin hosted a sword showing ceremony to lure the evil master, Pong Ban.

Out of the blue, Fung Hang Lit stole the sword from Hon. Hon risked his life to go after the sword, and became acquainted to Fung. They turned from enemies to friends. During the same time, Hon bumped into Chek Jun Sun who transferred all his internal energy to him before passing away. He hopes that Hon will avenge him by defeating Pong Ban in the future.

Hon follows Lord Yin to the capital and after some investigation; he found out that Hui Yeuk Mo is his father. Father and son reunite, causing Hon to be both happy and miserable. He is miserable because Hui Ye Yuet has become his sister, turning their love into incest. Both were forced to end their relationship.

Hon’s skill and personality impressed Long Fan Wan, who decided to take him as a disciple and entrust the Raging Dragon Sect to Hon as well. On the other hand, Hon entered the palace and became Emperor Chu’s closest friend. Hon repeatedly thwarted the emperor’s assassination attempts and is regarded by Emperor Chu as his lucky protector.

With his martial art and extraordinary encounters, Hon quickly became popular in both the martial art world and the government. However, he does not expect Fung to be the descendant of Mongolian royalty, who is secretly plotting to harm all the loyal subjects in the Ming court. Hon sensed that Ming Dynasty is in grave danger.

Seeing that he has lost all his martial arts, Mung Yiu deeply sympathized with Fung and decided to cure his wounds and seek help to restore his martial art.

Over time, Mung Yiu's pity for Fung gradually turns into love. However, Fung’s heart still has Bing Wan. Therefore, they have to keep their feelings to themselves. With Pong Ban as a threat to the martial art world, Mung Yiu teamed up with Hon Pak to solve the dispute between the Emperor and Lord Yin. Mung Yiu and Hon both share the same ideals, but she was unable to forget Fung. Afterwards, Fung changed his mind and returned to pursue Mung Yiu. Mung Yiu was moved and they became lovers.

After staying together for some time, Bing Wan fell in love with him and subconsciously assists him to practice evil energy. As much as she can love, she can also be heartless to others.

Bing Wan assisted Pong Ban’s plan. First, she married Fung Hang Lit who is a Mongolian royalty descendant, and later abandons Fung to make him suffer emotionally. Afterwards, Bing Wan seizes Fung back from Mung Yiu, meeting and parting many times. All this was arranged by Pong Ban who wants to provoke Fung’s memory and sentiments for Yuan Dynasty.

The Rain Ceasing Sword's reappearance in the martial art world sparks her interest and she quickly travels to Lord Yin's manor. She encountered Hon Pak and together they chased after Fung Hang Lit who stole the sword. The duo supported each other on the road and created a lot of funny situations. Soon, they developed into lovers.

However, Hon found out that he was Hui Yeuk Mo long lost son, and their relationship turned from lovers to siblings. Rationally, Ye Yuet knew she has to forget about Hon, but she still loves him. Later, Ye Yuet assisted Lord Yin, who fell for her. Lord Yin divulged her identity as an adopted daughter to let her choose fairly.

Many people were after the Rain Ceasing Sword after its reappearance in the martial art world. Leung Gik managed to steal it but no one knows, causing him to feel ignored. Therefore, he put on a disguise as a storyteller and disclosed the secret of the stolen sword to Chun Mung Yiu, hoping to make her curious and trace after him. He 'agrees' to let her announce to the others that he stole the sword with his great skills. They became good friends and pledged to help each other.

Seeing Pong Ban's domination in the martial art world, Leung Gik decides to join forces with Hon Pak and Fung Hang Lit. Leung Gik feels a special bond with Hon Pak and teaches him martial art through various strange methods. He also helps Hon to straighten out and therefore, Hon regards him as his mentor. Thereafter Leung Gik accompany Hon and Hui Ye Yuet, making a living as a wandering fortuneteller, creating a lot of comedy. Leung Gik secretly admires Wan Ching, the beautiful female Taoist.

Lord Yin (Chu Di) - Evergreen Mak

Lord Yin was Emperor Chu's fourth son, born from a Korean mother. The Han was prejudiced against foreign ethnic and suspected Lord Yin was not Emperor Chu's son because he was born prematurely. Thus, his father treated him coldly since he was a child.

The day his father was inaugurated as emperor, he was given the title of Lord Yin and bestowed the land of BeiPing (now known as Beijing), which was a barren place. Under Lord Yin's diligent construction for more than 10 years, BeiPing was gradually transformed into a prosperous city, and soon into a powerful influence.

Lord Yin has wide acquaintances with heroes all over the world and was popular among the citizens. Unintentionally, he was seen as a competitor for the imperial throne. At the same time, he felt a mysterious power lurking in the background. Through Hon Pak's assistance, he finally found out that Duke Yun was conspiring with the Mongolians.

Shortly, Emperor Chu suddenly passed away and Duke Yun accused him of poisoning the emperor. Lord Yin knew that Duke Yun was merely a puppet of Fung Hang Lit. To protect the country, he formed a movement to fight for the common people.

Charmaine Sheh to Quit Drinking Cold Drinks in the Morning

Charmaine always had a bad habit of drinking cold drinks first thing in the morning. Fortunately her body never had any major illnesses. However, Charamine hopes to quit this habit and strengthen her health, allowing her to take on additional work opportunities.

Charmaine's greetings: "Hopefully Hong Kong's economy continues to improve and benefit everyone. I wish for personal health and the opportunity to film diversified roles in more movies. Filming in movies is very fun!"

Raymond Lam Vows to See the Doctor Speedily

Raymond Lam has a bad habit of neglecting to see the doctor when he is sick. This affects his recovery process and immune system, causing him to catch a cold easily the next time and weakening his health even further.

In the new year, Raymond vows to see the doctor speedily whenever he is sick. There is no need to delay, as an illness must be dealt with immediately. He does not want to hold the responsibility of passing germs to others.

Raymond hopes for improved health, as an artist needs a strong body in order to handle the demanding workload.

Raymond's greetings: "Hopefully there will be less man-made and natural disasters this year! I wish for the health of all the veternans in the entertainment industry and that Hong Kong's economy continues to improve!"

Pearl's Note: Aww.... they both vow to improve their health and hope for HK's economy to improve. I guess when you're in love with each other, you think the same ;)! Hihihi...

Raymond Lam Yearns for True Love

Due to the Lunar New Year holiday, Raymond Lam Fung had a rare opportunity to be off for several days. He wished to shop for flowers at the flower market, so that he can decorate his house with peach blossoms.

"I prefer to go to the flower market after midnight, in the early AM hours. Shoppers will be focused on purchasing discount flowers at the time, so they will not pay attention to the people around them. It is more relaxing to shop without others noticing me!"

"It is a Fujianese tradition to only buy a kumquat tree for Lunar New Year. The kumquat tree would be decorated with red envelopes filled with money. When I was a child, I would always be curious and check how much money was inside each red envelope! But I no longer do so as an adult."

"This year, my family is not in Hong Kong to spend the holiday. I decided to break the rule and buy some peach blossoms, to increase my luck with people!" Raymond said that he will let love run its natural course, but he does wish for true love!

What was Raymond's goal for the new year?

"Of course my family's health. I want to continue improving my career and aside from TVB series, I hope to film for other productions as well, as this allows me to learn much more!"

Charm's New Year News

With two days until the new year, Charmaine Sheh was still filming yesterday for "The Drive of Life" and she indicates that she has two days off during the new year, but on one of these days, she will be taking part in a group greeting event for the company. She reveals that she had originally been invited to take part in a New Year Show in America, but she had to turn it down because of her filming and so she will take the time to rest in Hong Kong. Asked if she has lost out on a lot of money by turning this down, she says: "I won't say! You can't earn all the money."

Asked if she has been to the Flower Markets, Charmaine says that she may go. She remembers that one year, she went at midnight and there were a lot of people there. She wore a face mask and a hat, but she could not get through anyway. If she goes this year, she will wait until 3am or 4am. Does she buy Plum Blossom? Charmaine says she does not and there is not much New Year atmosphere in her home. She did visit her grandmother earlier for dinner and was presented with a potted kumquat plant. Did she give a big lucky packet to her grandma? Charmaine says: "Of course I did!" She also says that if she has time, she will go and visit her family and friends and collect some lucky money.

Many people like to gamble over the New Year and Charmaine has already invited a few friends to join her for a small gambling party, playing any games that take their fancy. Does she feel she has gambler's luck? She says: "Sometimes! I have tried betting on random numbers and winning a few thousand dollars."

Pearl's Note: Notice that they both prefer to go to the Flower Market after midnight! Can you imagine CharRay, hand in hand, strolling down the street at night with beautiful flowers along their path and shining stars in the vast sky above them? I can!

Here is an excerp from an article on http://tvbspace.blogspot.com/ predicting the fortune of various artists this year of the pig...

RABBIT: New Start in Love for Charmaine

Rabbits this year will have lucky stars that will bring a great step in career luck, but there are some mischievous stars at play that will bring gossip and arguments. Do not allow your environment to affect you too much and this will bring you a very happy and fulfilled year.

Charmaine Sheh (born 28/05/75) could not evade her separation luck last year, but the Pig year is a happy one, where she will find luck in love and career. There will be someone looking out for her in her work, but she will continue to be surrounded with gossip. Love affairs will come one after another.

Pearl's Note: The important things to get in this excerp are as follow:

"There will be someone looking out for her in her work," and that someone is no other than RAY! She is working with him in SYFW and of course he looks out for her!

"Goats and Rabits get along very well," and Ray is a Goat!!! So CharRay do get along very well! Hihihi...

Brief Translation by SehSeh

Raymond Lam and Charmaine Sheh - Creating Success Together

Yummy Yummy is a series about five youths creating their success in life together, and highlights their friendship. In the series, Ray and Charmaine starts from enemies and then to good business partners. They have just returned from Yummy Yummy's promotional activities, and they seem very playful around each other. Ray cheekily teased Charmaine for being so thin because she can't balance herself on the beanie bag, so Charmaine pulled his ears for revenge. Seeing them playing pranks on each other, they're actually good friends, with no rumours between them.

Raymond Lam – Mischievous rich kid Raymond is no stranger to rich kid roles. However he said that there are several types of rich kids. Unlike the arrogant rich kid in (The Last Breakthrough), Yau Hock Lai is a useless rich kid:

"Actually he has a lot of ambition, in appearance he's very confident and capable. The truth is he doesn't have the resolution to persevere because he's used to rely on other people. He talks non-stop, loves to joke, giving a sunny feeling to other people. So, it's hard to dislike him."

Even so, 'Mandy mom' (Charmaine) added that he's troublesome and always create trouble for others; like bringing a drunken girl back in the series. If this happens in real life, being his nanny is really difficult!

Up mountains and down oceans - Extra difficult

Ray said that filming Yummy Yummy was even more difficult than filming costume dramas because it involved a lot of outdoor scenes, not only is the weather hot, there's a lot of difficult stunts.

"Singapore was very hot, with a lot of outdoor scenes. I even had to climb up a mountain, going down into water to catch fish, and running all the time. We eat non-stop till I'm afraid; so Charmaine must have had a lot of fun watching us."

However difficult, Ray felt it was worthwhile because this series can motivate the youth.

"After the initial 7 episodes, the contest ends and the five open a shop together, meeting a lot of obstacles, making choices, but of course in the end they will succeed! Hope this series can inspire the audience."

Charmaine Sheh – Her nanny experience started from MHK. The all along sheltered Charmaine; this time has to be a calm and supportive 'Mandy mom' to her children. Her performance appeared to be very natural and calm. Charmaine said she actually gained experience about being a nanny from MHK, she just learned what her nannies did and incorporated it into her character. At this, Ray smiled and said to the reporter that Charmaine acted very well.

"I'm used to calling my nanny xx mom! Since we're from the entertainment business itself, Charmaine can learn from the others around her; plus she's a cool and opinioned person herself. Pay close attention to her mannerism and language in the series, it's very convincing!"

Enjoys taking care of the 'children'

Charmaine said that being a nanny was not difficult at all. She actually enjoyed the process:

"I don't need to participate in the contest, I just need to watch them falling into water, eating hundred sticks of satay (very scary)... In return if I have to participate like them, I think I would have been dead since I'm too frightened to catch a live chicken!"

Though she doesn't need to participate in the contest, but in terms of love, friendship and family, Charmaine faced a big test.

"Yan (Tavia) and I was very close early in the series, I treated her like a real sister; constantly helping her out. Then I found out she's actually my half sister, and even fell in love with the same man. What will happen? You'll have to watch the series to find out."

The last 2 pages talks about what kind of dream business that they have. Charmaine said she wants to open a western style coffee house, while Ray opted for a fashion boutique.

Pool Function

Credits to: Sehseh's Blog

Charmaine Sheh, Kevin Cheng, Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Ben Yeo attended a promotional function for Yummy Yummy yesterday. The press was a bit disappointed as the cast dressed a bit conservative on that day. Charmaine promised to wear a bikini if the rating exceed 40 points, while Kevin said he will wear a T-back underwear if it goes over 45 points. Tavia joked that she will also wear T-back, but she won't reveal all the way down!

Only Kiki Sheung, Lee Lai San and Tavia did not get into the water. Carlo Ng said Natalie Tong didn't enter the pool because she was 'inconvenient' today. However, Natalie did enter the water and Carlo joked "Don't make the pool 'inconvenient' (dirty) as well!" Because she was wearing a vest and not swimming suit, Natalie almost exposed herself during the game.

The cast was divided into 2 groups. In the end, Ray, Tavia and Wong's team lost. They were shot by water guns. Hui Siu Hung (Charmaine's father in White Flame) even hid behind Charmaine, turning her into a shield.

Kevin purposely aimed at Ray's lower region. Actually, no one admitted shooting him there, they only heard Lau Dan shouted "Shoot his 'little brother'!", making the people burst into laughter.

Ray's sensitive area was 'attacked' and Ray said it must be Kevin's doing; it's the second time he did this prank. When asked why his sensitive part become the target of Kevin, Ray embarrassedly said that because he covered his upper body with towel, but left the lower part unguarded, so Kevin aimed there. None of the girls are wearing bikini, a bit disappointing, isn't it? "I didn't pay attention to that. Maybe they are afraid of cold because it's air conditioned here."

Ray was a bit conservative that day, avoiding the swimming trunks as well. "I'm afraid of exposing myself (like Mr. Hong Kong exposing his private area)." Will you wear a swimming trunk if the ratings is good? "Depends whether I'm fit at that moment. I rarely wear swimming trunks!"Kevin laughed when asked about attacking Ray's lower region. "I aimed the water gun randomly from head to toe!" Raymond frankly admitted it hurts a bit, because the water pressure from the gun was quite strong!

Charmaine wore a top over her swimsuit (hehe... it was a bikini top) and is the one that played most carefully. "I'm not the most conservatively dressed today!" Charmaine explained: "I have to continue filming straight after this so I don't want to wet my hair."

Charmaine will go to Mainland China to film DFOGS for about a month. She smiled and said that her friends are busy arranging a send off dinner for her. The reporters asked Charmaine whether she will gain some weight before leaving as the weather there is so hot. "I failed in gaining weight. Nowadays my mum cooks for me daily, but I'm still 95 pounds." Will you be able to eat pork in Xi'an? "Probably not, I heard that mutton is the primary dish."

"I never openly wore a bikini after MHK pageant, so we will have to see the ratings first."

Meanwhile, Wong ?? who used to wear bikini at such events decided to cover herself up today with a vest and shorts. Carlo jested: "I've never seen her wore so many layers of clothing at a water event before!" When asked by the reporter, she replied that the company advises her to tone down her sexy image as the audiences might get tired seeing her in bikini too many time. Did you heard that the other actresses are not wearing bikini, so you followed as well to avoid standing out? "I don't want to snatch the attention away."

HK Stars Serve up Food for Life

Mediacorp TV, Sehseh's Blog

A force of galactic stars has descended upon Singapore! Heading the troupe are popular Hong Kong artistes Raymond Lam, Charmaine Sheh, Kevin Cheng and Yeung Yi, who are here to film the first co-production by MediaCorp Studios and TVBI:

A 30-episode series titled Food For Life. Joining them in this drama are MediaCorp artistes Ben Yeo. Michelle Chia, Lynn Poh, Ezann Lee, Adam Chen, Jeff Wang, Alan Tern and Belinda Lee.Shot on location in Hong Kong, China and Singapore, the drama revolves around five participants in a gourmet competition.

Filming began in Hong Kong in October and is scheduled to be completed by February 2005. The Hong Kong actors have been here in rain-soaked Singapore since Jan 2 and will return in a month’s time. Hailing from the city of tantalising food themselves, what local food do Charmaine and Raymond absolutely drool over?

“Satay!” Charmaine immediately quipped. “And stingray! Luckily we went to Lau Pa Sat for filming, so we got to eat a lot of good food, like clams.” “We filmed till 3-4am for the 2 days since we arrived here, so we didn’t have time to tour around Singapore and try the different food,” Raymond added. But unlike many of us who feel guilty about putting on an extra few kilos, that is something this trim pair doesn’t have to worry about. “We use up a lot of energy every day, working more than 10 hours; we’ll need the food to charge us up,” the pretty and petite Charmaine opined.

Luckily for them, their co-actor Ben is the host of variety programme $2 Wonderfood before and is almost a walking directory of the best food in Singapore! The camaraderie between Ben and his onscreen pal Kevin Cheng has spilled over to real life, as Ben told us how Kevin took extra pains to take care of this ‘little brother’. “During play-back in filming, he’d not only look at his own acting, he’d also look at mine, and give me advice on how to improve, and taught me some acting tips,” Ben revealed. The kindness showed to him extended beyond work as well.

He continued, “Once, he rushed to buy eye-drops for me when he knew that my eye was infected. He refused to let me pay for it; he quickly grabbed an item from the shelves and said he needed to buy something too and paid for the purchases. I was quite touched. Even when we filmed till the wee hours and were very tired, he’d drop me off at my service apartment although he lived very far away.”

Kevin instead spoke humbly about his much-appreciated and thoughtful deeds. He explained, “I was only playing my role as a host to him. He came to Hong Kong and didn’t have any friends, it’s only right that we take care of him. Just like he takes care of us here in Singapore and brought us shopping and to eat Hainanese chicken rice and roti prata.”

On Ben’s self-acclaimed notoriously bad Cantonese, Kevin laughed and agreed, “There’s room for improvement; I’ll give him 51 marks.” Local viewers would not have a chance to hear Ben’s broken Cantonese on Channel U as the as the show will be dubbed in Mandarin when it goes on air! Food For Life will be telecast on TVB's channels in May 2005, and on Channel U at a later date.

Michelle: Follows Everywhere

1. Ray bumped into rich girl Michelle when he went to Singapore to participate in a competition. At first they hated each other, but later Michelle falls for Ray and starts to idolize him. Ray was very happy, but Charmaine misunderstood that they (Ray & Michelle) are more than normal friends.
2. Ray coincidentally passes through the car park and causes Michelle to think that Raymond vandalized her car. They argue and became instant enemies.
3. In the end Ray wants to pursue Michelle again, but she was still mad at him. She pretends to have a lesbian girlfriend to make him jealous.

Ericia: Takes the Initiative

1. Ericia is another contestant, she participates to look for a boyfriend. She took initiative to approach Ray after meeting him.
2. Ericia has a cute set of big front teeth, giving her the nick name of “Big Front Teeth” in this series.

Filming Mountain Scene

Translation credits to Em [The Sun 18/12/04]

Leading stars from TVB series "Yummy Yummy" - Raymond Lam, Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh were filming a scene where they had to climb a 70 ft rock face earlier on location at Tung Lung Island. Wearing the rock climbing equipment, Raymond showed off his 'lunch box' and everyone was shocked at its size. Having previously played 'castration games' with Raymond, Kevin was asked whether he had felt the urge to attack Raymond and Kevin laughed:

"We daren't play any more, in case we can't have kids in the future!"

Raymond also announced a truce, saying he would not attack Kevin:

"I am afraid that we will lose the function if we keep playing it and can't even go to the toilet."

When the filming started, Raymond, who suffers from vertigo was very frightened, but still wanted to do the scene himself:

"Even if I am scared, I will do it because I can't care about it too much."

Kevin on the other hand seemed rather relaxed:

"This is easy compared to when I was filming abroad and had to dive off the top and plummet down the cliff, now that was scary!"

Charmaine did not have to do any climbing like the male stars. Having previously been rumoured with Sheren Tang and Sharon Chan, Kevin was asked if he would be buying them Christmas presents. He says:

"The most important woman in my heart is my mother and even she may have to go and choose her own present. I will then pay her back for it!"

Synopsis: This is a co-production starring Hong Kong and Singapore actors. The story surrounds a TV Gourmet competition that spans Singapore and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong team - Yau Hok (Raymond Lam), Chow Chi Yan (Tavia Yeung), Chan Ka Lok (Kevin Cheng) and Singapore's Wong Fook Sang (Ben Yeo) meet in the competition and turn from opponents to good friends. Chi Yan meets with her half sister Mandy Chow Man Hei (Charmaine Sheh) and these five young people overcome great difficulty in search of business success.

Charmaine: "We filmed in Singapore for about a month and a lot of Singaporean cuisine will appear in the show. My favourite was Bak Kut Teh and Pepper Crab. During filming, the best fun was during an eating competition scene and although I did not have to eat, seeing everyone else eating made me very happy. Finally I couldn't resist and ended up eating lots of satay skewers."

Raymond: "The most unimaginable thing filming this show was having to shoot in the forests for a modern series and having to catch fish and chicken. Not only did we have to get wet in the water, we even had to do wirework! However, to have the chance to work with the Singaporean artistes and communicate in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and even Taiwanese during working was quite an unusual experience. The most important thing was of course all the food that we were able to try that you cannot usually find in Hong Kong."
