12/30 00:15 Could you not deceive me again?  Tonight, feel quite weary! 可以不再去騙我嗎？今夜，有點累了！

Terse entry but imbued with strong emotion. Unlike others who immediately connected his words to romantic love, I knew it must be tvb contract related, and his latter entry proves I was right in my assumption. Guess TVB refuses to prematurely release him from his contract.

12/30 21:18  Choices increase, so do worries .  Have decided to allow myself be an irresponsible person.  Everything but everything will hold off until next year.  This year I will be a lazy bone.  選擇多了，煩惱也多了，決定讓自己做個不負責任的人。一切一切，就留待明年再算。今年，我要做懶蟲！嘻嘻！

TN: There's only 1 more day before next year, not much of a respite to be an irresponsible person, is there? But admire Steven for his ability to lift or try to lift himself out of his depression. He is after all but a mere man.

12月23日 23:22  12/24 Christmas eve night at 8 pm on YY website channel 19710260 ma; got it.I'll got there to listen.  Family, friends, little piggies, advance wishing to you all: Here's to a Christmas of peace, warmth and joy!

12月24號平安夜晩上8點鐘在YY頻道19710260嘛，知道了，我會去聽的。家人們、朋友們、小豬們，提早跟你們說聲：祝聖誕平安、溫暖、快樂！

12/24/2011  As promised Steven got on YY shortly after 8 pm but fans said he did not stay long.  I did not get to 'encounter'  him on YY as I was still sleeping then. 




TN: To get on YY first download  www.yy.com Then search for the steven ma baidu group# ... 19710260 (inspired by steven's birthday 1971/10/26)  Steven said he may listen in as in silent listener and silent reader, doesn't mean he will actively participate.  Guess TVB did not even bother to get him a job during this festival when it is one of the most lucrative money earning period for artists.  Boo to TVB!

12/23  16:30 (4th Brother's saying):  Towards those who appreciate you and those who value you, you should in return use your best effort and best performance as repayment.  Towards those who disparage and those who insult you, you should also in return use your best effort and best performance as payback.＜四哥格言＞：對於賞識自己、重視自己的人，要用最大的努力、最好的表現作回報；對於輕蔑自己、侮辱自己的人，也要用最大的努力、最好的表現作回敬。

TN: In short, your successful results and accomplishments will be the sweetest revenge against your detractors.   Haha! Steven looks so 'funny'.

12/23 10:19 Friend @苏祎zoe at Beijing sent this military coat to me, apparently it can combat coldness of 30 degrees below.  Wearing it, sure enough body got heat up.  Thank you! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, wishing in advance peace on earth, and also wishing everybody a very merry Christmas!

朋友@苏祎zoe 從北京寄來這件軍衣給我，說能抵抗零下三十度低溫。一穿上，果然渾身發熱，謝謝妳啊！明天平安夜，在此預祝世界和平，也願大家有個快樂聖誕！

12/22 15:32  Cherish every moment of being with your family.  Wishing everybody a warm and happy winter solstice festival. 珍惜與家人相聚的每分每刻。祝各位＂冬至＂溫暖又快樂！



It is said in the southern part of China and else way in overseas Chinese communities that the Winter Solstice Festival is far more important the Chinese New Festival because it is the very important getting ready preparation for the coming winter.  It is the tradition for Chinese families to eat 'tong yuen" (glutinous rice flour dumpling), the latter's roundness a symbol of completeness of a family circle. (yuen = round, circle) In the northern part of China as stated by Steven fans, they eat various "siu gao" (pot stickers) instead.

Remember all the little bits and piece of things other people did for you even if they were minute like insignificant dust given and received are all favors if those people who are not willing or do not easily utter thank you if say thanks for big favors are inexpressible then what about small favors ne put down pride be nicer to other people is to be nicer to oneself  letting go a little will see a more beautiful tomorrow  stepping back a step will walk a longer road

TN: I was one of the many who didn't get the real meaning of this entry although some readers did when they mentioned why there wasn't any punctuation.  Much later, Steven said the whole paragraph is up to how you want to punctuate it.

記住別人為你付出過的一點一滴 那怕細如微麈 付過 受過 都是恩 當下的人 太不願 也不敢輕易向別人說句謝謝 若說大恩不言謝 那小恩呢 放下無謂的自尊 對別人好一點 也就對自己好一點 放開些 會看到更美好的明天 讓一步 能走的路 更遠

12/19 16:30 Life is hard and short, besides do good by family, do good by conscience and do good by heaven and earth, also must do good by yourself. If can, be nicer to yourself ba!  人生苦短，除了要對得起至親、對得起良心、對得起天地，別忘了，也要對得起自己。可以的話，就對自己好一點吧！

12/19  10:46 Younger sis, it is true indeed that time will show a person's heart. But gossips, lies, genuine vs fake are not restricted to only the entertainment circle. It is just that because of the nature of our work, they have been magnified and scrutinized, that's all. As your older brother used to say: so long you do right by heaven and earth, and have a clear conscience, disregard them all! Remember, don't be led by the nose by others (tn:an animal on a tether), live your own life, walk your own path! Add oil!  (Steven's weibo to Fala who lamented about the gossips and rumors and misunderstandings reported on her.)


12/18 Weibo: Steven congratulating Sonija for her pregnancy. And wishing Evergreen Happy Birthday!

馬浚偉:Haha! Thank you!

12/16 00:58 (The effort) may not be the best, but definitely done wholeheartedly for your good.  If can encounter such a friend during one's lifetime , be contented.  未必做得最好，但肯定全心為你好。生命中能遇上這樣的朋友，足矣。

I love this picture.  Steven looks so serene, giving off a peaceful look like how a monk who has secluded him from the mortal world.  --- tranquility in his heart.

12/15 19:10 Finished work this afternoon at 4pm and immediately went to play badminton until now..I...seem to have become quite crazy!  p.s.4 fingers, little piggies understand........wow, very cold！V

TN: And he's wearing shorts??  Crazy man! Why 4 fingers? During a fan group photo with Steven, they were all posing with 2 fingers V pose, so someone suggested how about 4 fingers for 4th Brother, and that's what they did. In highlight the only male fan, all girls are stamped with a piggy mask. lol!

12月14日 23:34  In Hengdian, if not filming, then it's going to the gym or playing badminton.  No much nightlife.  After dinner it's only around 7 pm or 8 pm; stay in the room to study the script or watch movie.  Sometimes went karaoke to sing but usually won't out too late.  Sleep early, wake up early; the daily life here is more disciplined and more normal than in Hong Kong.  Here, I feel that beside being an actor I'm also an athlete.  Haha! This good, preparing myself year 2012 when I'll be busy, flying all over ! Friends, let's all add oil.

今天 01:23 Don't mistaken tolerance for indulgence; don't mistaken giving convenience as casualness. Everybody should have his/her own responsibility to take care of.  Don't use all kinds of reasons as excuses.  If at fault, then must admit to it. Learning from one's mistake is a commendable attitude. But the same mistake should not be made more than thrice. If mistakes are continuously being made on the same issue, then the problem must lie on the person involved! Don't keep waiting for someone to forgive, and don't use apologies as a protective shield.  If has no demands on life then please refrain from affecting other people's lives.

TN: Speculation:

yy ?

2/3 21:30 What I promised I will always carry out! As man, what's promised then must carry out, if can't do it then don't say it! Actually yy is quite fun, can listen to little piggies sing. But still not sure how to use it! But still quite fun!

Last night, after reading his little piggies' numerous messages/invitations to join them on yy, Steven finally got on it and chatted and sang with his fans.  A most happy time they all had had.  Unluckily I was not there to join them.  Not even sure how it all works.

But for those who know Chinese, here's the link: www. yy.com However, you must dl the software in the site in order to listen, talk, record your singing and post interactively.  Once on yy site, then search for SM baidu site with its reference number: 19710260 (hint: 1971; 10; 26;)

我答應過的一定兌現! 男人嘛,說得出來就要做,做不到那就別說! 其實YY挺好玩的,可以聽小豬們唱歌,就是不太會用!不過,還是挺開心的! V

bloodied sock

12/1 18:28 Finished work, went to play badminton.  Returned to hotel ready to shower, took off the sock and released there was blood, only then knew the foot was hurt. Maybe because today Hengdian was very cold that's why even injured did not feel it (pain) at all...looks like in extremely cold weather places, truly needs to take care of own body! heehee

Dress warmly, weather's turning cold.

12/1 06:50 Read HK newspaper. This tragic catastrophe if it was an accident then can only express sadness and send out faraway condolences and best wishes to the dead /victims and their families. If it was manmade then deeply enraged.  HK government, police, earnestly request to you all to get justice for the dead and the injured! Of course, no matter of the facts, still need to be thankful to every hero who saves lives. 


12/1 06:26
Good morning, getting ready for work! How cold is this morning? Look at the glass window in my room and you'll. Many places in mainland are very cold now. Hong Kong has turned cold too. Everybody, remember to dress warmly！
