Last night, Steven Ma (Ma Zai), whose new series wrapped up production the night before, treated his fellow cast and crew members to a bbq party at Nam Wah Wui.  The attendees included Kenneth Ma, Selena Li and Natalie Tong etc.  Both Kenneth and Selena have birthdays coming up in February, so Steven gave them birthday presents.  Also, the attendees all brought gifts for a gift exchange. To heighten the excitement, Steven was also able to  make the producer and a group of artistes sponsor a lucky draw cash prize; the total contribution was expected to reach five digits.

Steven will be having a family CNY reunion tonight, furthermore, he is accorded 8 days of vacation.  Aside from hosting* (sic) a TVB CNY tv program with Liza Wang, he will spend most of his break resting because shooting “Thunder” required ample action scenes which  exhausted him greatly.  Furthermore, because of limited time spent with family and friends, he will use this break to connect with friends over mahjong.  He jested: “I’m a well-known “yu nam” (an easy gambling prey) so friends all like to invite me for mahjong. (Will you get married this year?) When the time comes to get married, I’ll certainly inform you all. For now, I will keep that as a mystery.” He also said that his work schedule is already full, after the new year, he will be hosting Book of Words; he will  also be releasing a new book in April, and that he also has Mainland jobs and a big commercial. But will have to wait for the commercial sponsor to announce the details.

Previously he disclosed that "Book" will have a female co-host, but now the producer wants him as the sole host to avoid the trouble of dividing work.  He feels no pressure as the sole host because he has confidence in words.

notes:
1) Just read from a weibo that Steven's Mainland job is a China tv series.
2) From other reports, Steven reportedly gave Kenneth a key bag and Selena, a crystal wallet.
3)*In earlier news reports, Steven was just a guest performer, not a host as reported here.
4)  Book of Words will air starting  March 14 at 10:30-11:30 pm once a week for 25 episodes.
5) oscar weibo 2/2 


Tonight was a "Thunder" wrap-up party.  Steven Ma was very meticulous in its preparation ~from bbq to lucky draws to karaoke!!! -- he did it all!  In all, a 5- figure digits expenses out of his own pocket.  Wah! Truly love his attention to details. ..!  As for me, was so lucky to have received from Steven's own hand, a big prize of HKD 1,000!  Haha! This is what is called eat and take out!
