Revise 2/26/2015 (pix) Steven Ma tours Tai Po, New Territories, surrounded 馬浚偉遊大埔被圍

 

On the 4th day of CNY, Steven looked up his opera teacher 龍貫天, who's having a show at 三門仔新村 on that day.

Apparently, on the 3rd day of CNY, Steven not only visited his childhood neighborhood, Shek Kip Mei link but also at a friend's invitation attended the 100-table-cny-banquet at Tai Po, New Territories. His arrival caused an instant commotion among the residents as they immediately surrounded him. A woman finding Steven's fair and smooth face irresistible unexpectedly pinched his cheek.

tn: I find her action incredibly rude but I guess so entranced was she by Steven's 'cuteness' and his fair and smooth facial complexion that she just had to pinch his cheek to make sure it was for real. Never mind about good manners or presumptuous familiarity - the urge to pinch was both impulsive cum compulsive. haiz! I would be horrified if some stranger suddenly pinched my cheek. Steven probably took it all in stride (like he did in this 2003 hometown video) and just stuck out his tongue and made a gwing 囧 face. (see below pix. ) Really, a man his age has no business possessing such fair and smooth facial skin. According to this old video, his being 'taken advantage' of by women wasn't his first time either.

Eta: The cheek pinching incident reminds me of this 'poor actor'. weibo video lol! Not easy being an irresistible idol to ardent fans, you know.

2/14/2015 SM Leads the 2015 Lunar New Year Goodwill Activity

On February 14 2015, celebrity charity volunteer, Steven  Ma, participated in the "2015 Lunar New Year Conveying Peace Activity" (2015 新春傳送平安大行動), an event jointly organized by the Fulam Group and the Senior Citizen Home Safety Association (schsa) .  Steven together with 100+ energetic volunteers visited nearly 200「平安鐘®」(Personal Emergency Link) elderly users at the Pak Tin Estate in Sham Shui Po, bringing New Year's greetings of peace and joy to the latter.

Steven grew up in Pak Tin Estate at Shum Shui Pu so on this particular Valentine's Day he was especially nostalgic strolling down memory lane as he revisited the places of his childhood.  Besides reminiscing the good times, he also gave out gift packages and delicious new year cakes to the elderly, enjoying this warm and meaningful Valentine's Day. Steven chose the almost 91years old uncle Li for a chat.  He regaled uncle Li with interesting anecdotes of his childhood in Pak Tin Estate, bringing smiles to the latter's face. Steven also tested the 「平安鐘®」device on site.

The compassionate Steven expresses:  "During festivals, the elderly who live alone, or in poor health or without family support feel especially lonely during these times.  I hope we all besides enjoying ourselves also remember to take care of the elderly around us and comfort them, so that our holidays and theirs are spent even more meaningful."

Celebrity volunteer, Steven Ma, heads a group of 100+ energetic volunteers to visit the elderly on Valentine's Day, bringing much joy and blessing to them.

Voiceover:  As to Steven who has a girlfriend, when asked how he would celebrate Valentine's Day with girlfriend, his reaction was quite strange. 

S: This year I'll (spend VD) alone. 

R: Single again?

S: I don't want to talk about this for now, maybe next time

R: Relationship having problems?

S: No, no. Rah, rah, rah. (WTH? Awkward!)

Voice: Aiya! Could it be that he broke up (with gf)? 

Indeed, Steven's reaction is strange. Fine, so he didn't want to get into personal stuff, just said it composedly without acting all flustered, so much so he even ended the interview abruptly and yes, awkwardly with "rah rah rah". Awkward and weird!  Usually he's quite smooth at fielding this kind of trite, intrusive questions (at his age and being a seasoned veteran celeb that he is) so why this uncharacteristic awkwardness and fluster?  It's not like he didn't anticipate the question given that VD is just round the corner.  Maybe he is planning to  surprise his unsuspecting gf on that day hence his reticence?

Also check out his awkward laugh and fidgety body language on.cc video when asked the same VD's plans question.  Awkwardness galore. Seeing his reaction thus, fans should just stop pressing him to get married or start a family soon, let him be.

Steven spotted buying fruits at the market by the pix uploader.  He must have stopped by the fruit stall to buy some fruits after his badminton game. (I spy the humongous badminton bag).
