weibo & tvbblog on links 11/30 -12/1

11/30 While shooting “Links” in Macao, colleague took this shot for me, not bad ba!  Ai, missed my hair, but still enjoy the thrill of shooting a Qing period series. Haha!

 

11/30 13:19 While at Macao filming “Links”, when had downtime at night would play badminton, and so got to know Macao’s renowned badminton instructor, Mr. Mak Wing Hin.  Mr. Mak even played a double with me.  So happy!  Right now, really want to play badminton…

11/30 09:40  I heard that dogs can distinguish human moods, the reason being that our emotions affect the hormone secretion of different body odor.  So when you are laughing with happiness, the dog will be happy for you by wagging its tail; when you are crying with sadness, the dog will be sad for you and lick your tears!

11/29 15:26  Wah! Help! The Dingdong version of ＂聖鬥士星矢＂(Saint Seiya). I want it real bad!  Everybody and little piggies, can you tell me if there is truly this “Dong” version?

11/29 07:32  Good morning, at work again!  Time passes really fast, in a blink of an eye, the shooting of “Thunder” is almost a month already, two months still to go.  To all brothers and sisters of “Thunder”, let us all work hard together, ga yao!

11/28 23:49

To think I did not even notice that little piggies had done something so meaningful.. I am truly moved!  4^th Brother is proud to have brothers and sisters like you all.  Regardless of where you are, compassion links our hearts together!  Thank you to all of you!   

11/28 20:14Though busy shooting “Thunder”, but still should not neglect to push “Links”.  Premiering on TVB on December 13^th at 9:30 pm.  All Links cast members, let’s all show support la!

11/28 13:15  These doggies are way too cute!  I couldn’t help but yell out: Tooooo adorable!

11/27 19:04  In Thunder script, I have this line to say, which incidentally coincide with what Tim Gor has said before: “More fairness, less selfish motives!”   Truly, what the world most needs and most lacks nowadays is exactly that!  Maybe, a lone effort can’t do much, but “Virtue is not solitary, it has neighbors.”  Don’t let the fear of being the only one prevent you from taking action.  Not taking action is tantamount to approval! I will, and wish to walk with you all. Mutual sharing!

11/26 17:29 I really like to coca cola, sometimes can drink up to 3 cans. I know it’s way too much, so recently I've started to cut back on it…but still every time during mealtime when see cola and water, I’ll naturally reach for cola. Ai..what to do! And by the way, to all piggies and fellow netizens, know that I read all your messages on weibo and on tvb.com. Your support and encouragement and every vote, I've stored them all in my heart! Thank you! (truly moved) 4th Brother.

20:12 Uncle Choi:  Go ahead, drink some more lah, sooner or later won't need Kent gor to be Fei Lou Ban*, go look up Ma Zai lah

11/24 00:58 熱鬧，不一定快樂！孤獨，不一定寂寞！笑，可以有淚！哭，也能有笑！

Merriment, not necessarily happy!  Alone, not necessarily lonely! Smile, can have tears! Cry, can smile, too!

11/24 20:47 There are people who always love to erase others' hardwork and efforts, at the same time, glorified themselves as been unbiased and just. And then there is another kind of people who love to appear so holy and caring, but behind people’s back, so steeped in darkness they cannot tolerate even the slightest of conscience.

Steven's poem composition
夜寒風刺月涼薄 Night’s frigid, wind’s biting, moon’s cold and callous
狼嚎鬼叫穴作床 Wolves howl, ghosts wail, lair as bed
自誇自圓自得意 Self-aggrandized, self-justified, self-satisfied
大話西遊再上粧 Lies put on make-up for the Journey to the West

Steven 20:55 - Can you get the clues from the poem?
菲然2011 20:59 - 1st column hidden vertical acronym, 夜郎自大，right?

Steven 21:06 - Awesome! (hou ye!)

*夜郎自大The arrogance of a Southern barbarian. (夜郎= Han dynasty name for a southern ethnic group/southern barbarian - MDBG dictionary.)

11/22 12:03 Today I want to introduce to all you a good brother of mine.  He is my body double in my recent tvb series such as: Sweetness in the Salt, 7 Days of Isolation, and the currently filming series, Thunder in the Forbidden City.  His martial arts skill is excellent; nimble body, powerful punch; high somersaults, speedy rotations: and his kicks are “ding qua qua” (awesome!).  With his help, my martial arts becomes undefeatable in the world. Haha!  Btw, he’s called Ah Hin, Au Wing-Hin!  Your hard work is much appreciated, brother!

 今天向大家介紹我的一位好兄弟,近年我在TVB拍攝的劇集,如"碧血鹽梟","隔離七日情"和現正拍攝的"紫禁驚雷",都是由他當我的替身!他功底非常 好,身輕拳勁,翻得高旋得快,腿功更是"頂瓜瓜",有他的幫忙,我的武功簡直变得天下無敵,哈哈!對了,他叫阿顯,歐榮顯! 辛苦哂兄弟!

"I'm the only one on the Iraq national badminton team." Abdul Hamid says: “I eat along; I compete alone; I’m always alone.  Iraq is at war but I only want to play well in badminton.  I know this is not an easy task.  But everybody has a dream, even if the dream seems impossible to come true.  But if you don’t work hard, then that dream will remain a dream.” 

(Steven Ma: Very moved! Alone does not mean lonely because of the Faith’s accompaniment.  I want to follow Hamid’s good example!) “ 

伊拉克羽毛球队只有我一人。”阿扎德说“一个人吃饭，一个人比赛，总是一个人。伊拉克有战争，但我只想好好打球。我知这不是一件容易的事，但任何人都有梦想，即使那梦想看起来不可能会实现，但如果你不努力，那梦想永远都只能是梦想。#很感動!孤獨不代表寂寞,因有信念相伴,我也要向阿扎德好好學習!#

Weibo: Steven injured his ribs

Oh dear, Steven's ribs are hurting him bad. Do drop by his weibo to console him.

11/21 8:04 Continue early shift. Had 3 hours of sleep last night, so energy not too bad. But the ribs injury seems to have worsen, feel pain when taking deep breath, very frustrated! (feeling grouchy)

Eileen Cha: Ma Zai, take care! You still need to go to tvb anniversary to get your award.

Steven: Good morning, thank you, Siu Yan Jie. But truly the injured ribs are very painful. So truly admire our Hong Kong female cyclist, finished the race even with broken ribs! Amazing!

(note: Steven always puts things in perspective, thus tends to downplay his own pain.)

11/18 16:16 Under the penning of Uncle Choi, Siu Tong and a group of scriptwriters, the character of Nip Do Bo becomes more and more complex making me gasped loudly: “ Huh! No way ba? ”; no wonder Do Bo is also pondering over ~who am I?

11/18 12:53 Good afternoon. Body hurts all over. Very tired and in pain….

Tsui/y/y 11/17 10:52  I’m used to being “silent”, silently support those friends who don’t place much trust in me but whom I have much affection for in my heart.  Towards Grand Master Piggy (TN: Tai Chu; Steven Ma) I won’t be ‘silent’ but will publicly support this person who is both teacher and friend.  Calling all little piggies to logon to http://event.tvb.com/43/voting/ to cast your votes for Grand Master Piggy to help him win the honor of being tv king.  After the victory, will arrange a ‘piggy feast’ to celebrate.  Little piggies, ka yao!

Tsui/y/y 11/17 11:22 Unity is strength, thank you, everybody.

weibo nov 17 - Steven's encouraging words to fellow imperial bodyguards brothers

Uncle Choi 11/17 23:38 After n years of hard work, TVB 萬千星輝 (man chin sing fai) Imperial Bodyguard Troop will get the support of the common people. People who love Nip Duo Bo are not few. The newbie brothers in the blue-collar troop may probably be promoted to first class within a decade or so.

steven Ma: 11/17 20:08 This afternoon, I chatted with my imperial bodyguard brothers. They are the new generation of artists. Listening to them, I could really appreciate their hardship. Truly, in this day and age being an artiste is getting more and more difficult! But, regardless how situations may change, a person’s state of mind is what counts. How you see yourself, that’s how other people will see you! Once you nonstop developing your value, your self-confidence will naturally increase. Don’t waste time to complain. 學而思習而行is the best the policy! Brothers, let’s all work hard together!

weibo on Links & 7 Days

steven ma weibo


11/16 If lucky tonight maybe able to grab 3 hours of sleep! Tomorrow first thing in the morning will film a whole day of action scenes. At night, will shoot a promo clip on “Links”. So tired but very happy because there is yet another good news. You all ‘might not’ have to wait too long to see super thief “Yee Zou On! Maybe! Haha! Also there’s …will talk about it later ba!

weibo take it easy

11/16 04:49

Just came home from work, a little tired, but still can't sleep, maybe still in the stimulated state of work. Actually, life is really interesting, the more you care about something the more likely you can't get it.  Conversely, when you take it easy, what you get is even more! It's been said that life is like chess, it's not that easily penetrated!  The results? It has its own place.  Can't figure it out?  Might as well not think about it. Just hold on to the belief that people do, heaven sees; do more good deeds, avoid evildoing! Mutual sharing!

收工回家，有點累，但還睡不著，也許狀態仍停留在工作中的亢奮吧！其實人生真的很有趣，當你愈在乎一些，你愈得不到那一些，反而處之泰然，得來會更多！所謂世事如棋，那來這麼容易猜透！結果？自有定數。想不通？不如不想，就抱著一個信念～人在做，天在看；多行善，別作惡！共勉之！

Love Duo Bo's pensive look.



11/13 16:45 Apparently Ni Duo Bo in Thunder has a hidden family secret. This secret changed the course of Duo Bo’s life, and as a result of its subsequent revelation, a shocking conspiracy is uncovered. Thus begins the reign of bloodbath brought on by human warfare! And Duo Bo’s nature slowly changes because of this…. 

11月13日 16:45 〝紫禁驚雷〞中的聶多寶，原來有一個不可告人的身世秘密，這秘密，改變了多寶的一生，也因此揭發了一個驚人的陰謀。一場腥風血雨的人性鬥爭，也隨之開始！而多寶的本性，亦因此而慢慢改變........

weibo re: 2010 tvb awards nominations

Will Be Much Happier to Let Nature Take Its Course

Some fans were extremely upset at seeing Ron Ng taking the  prominent center position in the Back to the 3 Kingdoms poster, while Steven is relegated to the back row with the rest. They were extremely vocal with their displeasure on Steven's weibo and tvbblog in that Steven not only mentors young fadans but is now also playing second fiddle to the younger siu sang, too. (TN: While the now well-groomed Linda and Fala moved on to pair with the younger siu sang,  Steven falls back to mentoring other young fadan like Selena Li.) Like I've said and will say it again, Steven needs the tv king title to go forward with his presently stagnant career in tvb.

Anyway, below are Steven's response to their posts. This is the case of  "The emperor is in no hurry while the eunuchs are in panicky jitters."

11/10 19:39 Some situation or some thing was fine being left well enough alone, why turned it into something horrible? You, he & I, we all have our own antecedents, don’t be envious of other people. Be simple; do well by yourself, and do each and every task well. So long you do well by your conscience, that’s enough! It has always been that results are not always within our hands, so please don’t be troubled over stuff we can’t control. Also don’t try to forcibly manipulate situations we can’t control. Just let nature take its course ba! Sometimes trying too hard may, on the contrary, not benefit self but also hurt other people. So, what’s the point?

20:42 Little Piggies must believe that during this period, 4th Brother has been and is very happy. Don’t indulge in wild speculations or imagination! Join me to welcome happiness. Your laughter makes me happy! Truly!

21:03 I truly know that you all are very “yuk gan” (extremely concerned) over each and every little  stuff concerning me. I knew that already! Hey, so long you’re happy, the rest - doesn't matter. Anyway, Little Piggies’ kind regards and feelings I’ve already stored them inside my heart; other stuff is inconsequential lah.

2010-11-8 18:51
看著父母親年輕時的照片，我發現我的個子跟父親很像，而樣子簡直跟母親一模一樣。雖然我爸媽不是世上最帥最美，但他倆在我心中，卻是最完美無瑕的父母，更是天造地設的一對！快到家父的生日，祝父親健康長壽，天天快樂！

Steven says he has his father's body frame and looks exactly like his mother.
