2009 Steven's fans birthday present
AF Posted 06 October 2009 - 10:39 AM
Steven's birthday, specifically Oct 26th, is just around the corner, (as is Strawberry67's) and fansites are busy readying their presents for him. Steven-ma.og shows a glimpse of its present, painstakingly prepared by its webmaster, Hu. Heeding Steven's advice on not to 'waste' money (esp. their parents' hard earn money) on gift purchases such as flower bouquets & stuff animals and such for him, Hu came up with a 2010 calendar featuring Steven, and a collation of birthday wishes from fans. And of course, Baidu fansite is right now preparing its 'matchmaking' prospectus for Steven's perusal. lol! Starting today, I'll post random thoughts and info on him until his birthday. Hope you all will take this opportunity to say something about Steven too.

Steven made up with ex-girlfriend
read ensuing discussion on AF1843 Posted 21 October 2009 - 09:13 AM
Steven made up with ex-gf, Vivian!!
Tamaya: Steven met with ex-gf, Vivian while filming Temptation in Macao. Pix surreptitiously taken by the omnipresent press. Steven openly picked up Vivian at the harbor to Venice Hotel in the company van. Catherine Tsang, another passenger in the van, was seen getting off the van with Vivian, chatting amiably on the way to the hotel lobby. Steven strode hurriedly from the van into the hotel to avoid pix taken with Vivian, but of course to no avail. During her stay, Steven seemed to be in a very happy mood.
Honeydaisy: I wonder why he tried to walk away quickly to prevent his picture being taken (with Vivian, that is). Is it because their public lives are so strictly managed that they are not allowed to be seen with someone who could be a girlfriend? Maybe he hasn't had time to report to the higher-ups in TVB about his reunion with Vivian, and has to still keep it a secret! Haha. :)
I think Steven was just being discreet so that his private life would not become fodder to feed the hungry press. In the past, HK paparazzi had stealthily snapped pix of him at take-outs eatery, at a doctor's office, and even at a gas station among others. This reporter, probably just hoping for some candid pix of Steven dining with colleagues and Zhan Jie to boot, truly luck out when Steven picked up Vivian at the harbor. Also the readers only have this reporter's words that Steven has reconciled with ex-gf. Don't know about other higher-ups, but since Zhan Jie, among others, was in the van when Steven picked up Vivian, she should be well aware of this alleged reconciliation. But according to a HK fan, this newspaper's credibility is questionable as it is free, and easily available on the streets, moreover, no other tabloids or newspapers have reported on this at all.

Excerpt of the news report:
That night Ma Zai and his senior colleagues went to 黑沙环 restaurant for dinner. He seemed to be in a high spirit throughout the whole time, yakking away like a bird just been newly released from its cage. Besides talking up a storm with Zhan Jie, he was also extremely talkative with the restaurant owner, too. After dinner, around 10 pm, he and his dinning partners got into in a 7-seater van which he then drove to a “gwai lin gou” place for desserts. When they left the place later, while holding on to his take-out, he courteously assisted Helen Ma and the others into the van, and then drove straight to the harbor. As soon as he arrived, he immediately got off the van and helped Vivian, who had waited for him at the spot, into the van. When they arrived at Venice Hotel, Ma Zai, who got off the van first, deliberately ignored Vivian. But the latter and Zhang Jie chatted amiably. To avoid the exposure if he were to accompany his girlfriend to her room through the casino, Ma Zai told his female assistant and girlfriend to take another route to the room. He thought that would be a surefire circumvention, but sorry to say, his old flame reconciliation was still been exposed.

照顧到好朋友，我梗係照顧埋你哋呢班尊貴嘅讀者啦！唔好以為《金牌飯局》只係介紹啲貴價菜，今次蓮香居嘅「功夫菜」，就同Steven一樣咁入屋、咁親民，兩個係perfect match啦！

輯錄自 306期 Book B 【Paco巨星飯堂】
熟識我嘅朋友都知，我係放眼明天嘅人，「聽日先係最重要」係我經常放喺嘴邊嘅金句。不過，面對馬浚偉（Steven）呢位嘉賓，我又唔介意同佢話吓當年㺪。我唔講你未必會知，Steven係我一手發掘帶佢入樂壇，93年我為佢度身訂做《幸運就是遇到你》呢張專輯，令Steven投身演藝界。
一眨眼就16年，Steven亦搖身變成電視小生，《碧血鹽梟》正播到高潮階段，今晚我哋就嚟個yesterday once more，歎吓工藝同佢一樣咁講究嘅「功夫菜」，率先慶祝吓better tomorrow！
飯局金句：聽日先係最重要！
 |
| 眨眼跟Steven相交16年，當年我就係覺得佢正直、好學，係一位不可多得嘅藝人，佢由歌手變成依家歌、視雙棲，果然叻仔。 |
十六相聚
 |
| 酒逢知己，有美酒當然要推介畀好朋友，我向Steven介紹嘅「Glenlivet 18」，平靚正！ |
跟Steven緣起93年，但係我哋只喺華納唱片合作近三個年頭就各奔前程，今次適逢佢嘅新劇《碧血鹽梟》播得火熱，我梗係要請呢位TVB當家小生去有80年歷史嘅蓮香樓分店——上環蓮香居，試吓依家買少見少嘅「功夫菜」啦！
所謂「功夫菜」，即係製作工序繁複，好考廚師功夫嘅菜式；就好似Steven家陣屢次挑戰唔同類型嘅角色，自我考驗演技一樣咁講究功夫！
Steven一見到枱上嘅串燒金錢雞，就邊夾畀我邊話：「Paco你唔好咁讚我啦！其實我依家都係一面做一面學，講起要多得你當年畀咁多機會我就真，真㗎！你畀咗最好嘅嘢我，但係我以前唔識handle你畀我嘅好嘢，好似同Sally（葉蒨文）合唱，阿Lam為我監製歌曲等等，我都唱唔出嗰種感覺，所以話人真係要有經歷、要成長嘅。」
哈哈！雖然今晚講明同Steven敍舊，但估唔到佢咁認真，其實我點會覺得佢嘥咗啲chance？反而當年我覺得Steven成日為最壞嘅情況打算，好聽啲可以話佢穩陣，我會覺得佢太過悲觀，所以我揀過一首〈不再悲觀〉諗住勉勵吓佢㗎，都話咗聽日先係最重要，唔係，「聽日」喺呢一刻都係有啲遠，眼前有一碟古法鴨腳包，佐酒最啱，Steven真係要飲杯先講！乾！
平民山珍
 |
| 邊食邊敍舊，好酒停不了口，乾！ |
 |
| Steven唔講都唔知佢煮得兩味，今次我請你！下次，到你露兩手！ |
酒家方面知道我鍾意以美酒會良朋，特別炮製咗椒鹽大花蝦，搞到Steven讚口不絕，仲興起公開「馬氏食譜」；「講起上嚟我喺『華納』嘅年代都未識煮兩味，唔係一定請Paco你試吓！近呢5、6年我先至開始落手落腳煮，初時整吓白切雞；最拿手就係蒸魚雲！」
嘩！我估唔到Steven嘅招牌菜居然係睇落簡單但極考功夫嘅菜式喎。「係呀，個魚頭一定要新鮮先好食，所以我一定去深水埗白楊街嘅相熟街市入貨，老細會特登劏條魚畀我㗎。咁拎到返屋企我就鍾意用酸薑梅子蒸，好好味㗎！」
其實做藝人，有個嘜頭，去到邊都係VIP啦！今晚就係因為Steven，所以我哋一嚟到就有位嘞！「Paco，你唔好話，我真係好彩到連飲茶都唔使等位㗎！」See？哈哈哈！
對酒當歌
 |
| 難得Steven同我一樣係性情中人，哈哈哈！我哋梗係笑聲處處，不停碰杯啦！ |
呢頭Steven講開蒸魚雲，服務員就端上雞蛋焗魚腸，又係佐酒妙品。我話你知，我識Steven嘅時候，佢好少陪我把酒談天，今晚佢就風趣咁話：「好彩我呢年嚟訓練有素啫！」哈哈哈！Steven學你話齋，人係要成長嘅，你嘅成長，近年喺電視圈嘅成績，有目共睹嘅，咁開心，又係cheers嘅時候！
話時話，Steven由93年客串《開心華之里》起，喺TVB一劇接一劇，唔少新一代嘅觀眾，大有可能以為佢係演而優則唱嘅「小生」，但係我相信Steven只要唔放棄，佢一定有機會遇到好歌。「多謝Paco，我仲想出碟㗎，依家我屋企裝咗套好pro嘅卡拉OK，用remote點歌嗰隻，我冇偷懶唔練歌，總有一日會大派用場！」
啱！要慶祝better tomorrow！乾！

2009 TVB Scoop report: SM shows off calligraphic skill
2009-10-29

below write up is from Stephen Chan tvb artistes.com 富豪东方酒店 Regal Oriental Hotel
2009-10-30 The gist of it:
The newly renovated 富豪东方酒店 (previously 富豪机场酒店) and its resident Chinese cuisine restaurant 「富豪坊」held a grand opening ceremony today Oct 28th 2009. Steven is today's special guest. He not only participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony but also did the propitious writing for the restaurant. To prepare for this calligraphy blessing he worked on his calligraphic skill diligently for three hours.
Steven said: "I don't have a basic foundation on calligraphy nor am I knowledgeable in it."
But from my observation, it is impressive that Steven with just a short three hour training could obtain such a result in his calligraphy.
