Last week, Steven Ma attended 2 consecutive events at Guangzhou and Dongguan, respectively. Even though the weather was rather erratic, raining sporadically; but as soon as he got to Guangzhou, the rain had stopped. The event went on without a hitch. Steven thanked heaven for its cooperation. The venue was jam-packed with people. Steven was deeply moved by the big turnout of fans who braved the winds and rain to attend the event as show of support. So, although completely drenched in sweat from the heat, he did not mind at all, but had great fun, becoming a ‘water person’. Afterwards, Steven quipped that he is a ‘water person’, that once the water valve is turned on, its flow will not cease. As for the event in Dongguan, it was Steven’s second invitation by the event organizer as special guest for a ribbon cutting ceremony. The attendees were 90% females, so as soon as Steven got on stage the whole place erupted with loud squeals. Also, many of the young ladies who were fortunate enough to get on stage to play games forcibly hugged Steven (強抱). Asked Steven if he was embarrassed? Steven says: “Even though didn’t specify it would be a hugging event (抱抱會) but never mind, more importantly is being happy.
When asked about the news of Stephen Chan being formally charged by (ICAC), Steven says he has been following the news, but it is not appropriate at this time for him to make any comment on it. However, he expresses concern for Chan: “Hope he’ll face it with strength; more importantly is that he takes care of himself.”

Steven Ma's moving story gets Joyce Cheng red teary eyes

Yesterday Steven Ma and Joyce Cheng attended an event for Heng Sang Bank Regeneration Society. When Steven shared his past experience on his late mother's illness more than 20 years ago, Joyce felt emotional and had red eyes. She frankly said that the story brings back memories of her late mother Lydia Shum. Joyce said: "The media photographing my mom entering the hospital was less times than the actual times she was admitted to the hospital. Many times she would be sent to the hospital at midnight, making her very tense every evening. When it was morning, she would be happy, but when nightfall hit she gets very tense, great emotional ups and downs."
Joyce reveals that she'll be releasing her debut album in November, although she's feeling very nervous, she has confidence for her new album. She said: "I am very happy that my wish came true. Life is short, if I lose my voice the next day, at least I already recorded my album, and pursued my dream before."
Steven's left wrist was bandaged up due to old injuries come backing. Yesterday he brought liniment (liquid medication) with him to the event. He said: "I have chronic inflammation on my tissues and peritoneum. I took 3 days of liniment and bandaged my wrist myself. (Why did you not ask your girlfriend to help?) I know how to do it myself. I hope my injury can get better soon because next month I start shooting a new martial arts series.

Steven Ma Praised as the Nanny to the Miss Chinese Beauty Pageant. Happy to meet old friends again.
Steven Ma just came back to Hong Kong from his US-Canada’s performance stint, a trip that lasted more than 10 days beginning August 19 until his return. Steven first went to New York for an autograph signing session, and then onto a guest performance in the Miss New York Chinese Beauty Pageant 2010. Next, he flew to Toronto to perform in a two-night charity fund-raising dinner show organized by the local arts group. Steven says that this trip stirred up deep feelings; the last time he performed in a Miss NY Chinese Beauty Pageant was 8 years ago. This time he was re-united with the same staff from that year. “They said everybody has become fat and sports a pot belly, but I still look the same. Look even younger than 8 years ago. I told them to play a few games of badminton, drink more soup; if possible, get plenty of sleep. Then you’ll get younger. Haha!”
Steven also met Jessie Liu, the winner of that year Miss NY Chinese Beauty Pageant 2002. She and Louis Yuen co-hosted this year pageant. “I feel that she and I have ‘yuan’. (fate) She was very happy that we met again on stage. Jessie plans to release an album soon, and will come to Hong Kong for recording. We’ve exchanged phone numbers. When she comes to Hong Kong, I’ll arrange a meeting with her and Louis for a get-together dinner.”
On that night, Miss NY Chinese Beauty Pageant 2008, Stacy Wang, was arranged as Steven’s dancing partner in a chacha dance. The chairman of the Miss NY Chinese Beauty Pageant, Yip Biu, (葉彪) praised Steven as the nanny for the ‘hua jie’ (Miss Chinese Beauty Winners) because many ‘hua jie’ including Bernice Liu, Fala Chen, and Linda Chung all have had numerous collaborations with Steven after entering TVB. Mr. Yip also praised Steven for being a good teacher; all those ‘hua jie’ who collaborated with him got a good start in Hong Kong.
Besides work, Steven also toured Casino Mohegan Sun in US. (TN: that’s the pageant venue) The casino owner highly recommended the lobsters and oysters in the casino restaurant, so he took Steven, Louis and some employees for dinner there. The restaurant has an open kitchen and the ingredients were all very fresh. Steven could not resist checking out the restaurant, and the chef of that night very obligingly let Steven take pictures of him posed in front of the stoves. Steven’s colleagues laughed that he must have become possessed by master chef because of his Apprentice Chef program. When his lobster dinner came, Steven commented that it was enormous and had lots of goop. (tamale). Luckily they all shared the lobster, and Steven, after eating only a quarter of it said he was stuffed. Lucky for him, his cholesterol has always been on the low side so was not afraid it might cause problem. (to his health)
After his New York stint, Steven straight away flew to Toronto to perform in a 2-night charity dinner show. Because of the rain that day, the flight was continuously delayed. Steven had to stay put in the airport for 5 hours. “But I support the airline’s decision. Would rather wait than have accidents. Compensation won’t do any good.”
Besides rehearsing for the performance, Steven found time to get together with old friends there, including Louise Lee’s daughter, Leslie Yip and her husband. The couple readied a scrumptious dinner to welcome Steven.
While in Toronto, the tragic killing of Hong Kong residents in the Philippines occurred; Steven together with the locals followed the news closely. Wherever there was tv reporting on the incident, they would all pay close attention to the news. They were all very shocked, upset and angered by the tragedy. Steven posted 6 entries on his weibo to express his sadness and dissatisfaction.
During his performances on the stage, Steven dedicated the song, “Don't hold back love",《愛是不保留》to express both his and his audience’s condolences to the victims, and to convey their best wishes to the survivors and the victims’ families. He hoped that victims’ families will one day walk out from their trauma of pains and sufferings onto a new chapter of their lives.

If TVB Truly Change Hands, Steven Ma Hopes For Good Changes.

If TVB Truly Change Hands, Steven Ma Hopes For Good Changes.
Recently, in the past month, Steven was frequently out of town doing stage performance one after another, such as in: Australia, New York, Taiwan, and Mainland China. Unexpectedly, during his absence from Hong Kong there were all kinds of rumors circulating, including that of Lee Shau Kee’s acquisition of TVB, and also of competition among 5 free-air TV stations. Steven laughs and says in all his 18 years in the industry, he had never encountered so many rumors within just a month.
Yesterday, Steven was invited as an award presenter in “小手創造大紀錄頒獎禮” (Little Hands Created Big Results Awards Ceremony). Regarding these rumors, Steven says: “For now, still uncertain, if there's really going to be a change, I hope the change will be good. This industry feeds a lot of families. (If this sets off a wave of poaching, will it raise self-worth?) I am satisfied with my present income but many artistes have problems with theirs. This kind of situation will certainly add a lot of opportunities, conversely, it will prevent layoffs.”
Regarding Stephen Chan being formally charged by ICAC, Steven says after he returned to Hong Kong he did sms him and phone him up to express his concern, therefore knows that he (Stephen) is fine, most important is for him to take care of himself. Since this is still a sensitive period, it is not appropriate to talk too much; he will send him his blessings personally.
