Bobby Au Yeung's huge eye bags had been bothering him for years and he only could use glasses and hats to cover them up. In the past 3-4 years, eye bags got severe. However, earlier Bobby served as the spokesperson for an 'eye bag removal' endorsement, where he got his eye bags treated. He said: "Because I have bags under my eyes, even if I slept for 10 hours, people still think I'm really exhausted. Actually two bags of fat sagging on my face is really heavy and exhausting, now I can finally say bye bye to them. I feel a lot more spirited! Feels like I'm 10 years younger! I can go home and smile in my sleep"

Bobby Au Yeung had always been afraid of pain, so how did he get the courage to get his eye bags removed? He laughed: "My eye bags were saved up from all my hard work over the years, especially the last 3-4 years, it seems like its getting more severe. I already had intentions to get it fixed and I had friends who have gone to Korea and Japan to get it done. I asked for a lot of advice and opinions, but because I have two layers of eye bags, it hangs pretty low. I don't care how its done, but just thinking of undergoing surgery, I get very frightened. After all its my eyes, I don't dare to mess around with them, so that's why I never got it done. It wasn't until a friend told me surgery wasn't necessary that I started planning try it out. Unexpectedly I got an endorsement and that's how I got the courage to give it a try."

Florence Kwok Can Be My Mother, Yoyo Mung Step Mother
Bobby's eye bags and his hairstyle are considered his 'signatures'. He said: "Its the same as my hair, friends told me not to change my hair because that won't look like me anymore. However, eye bags are different. Earlier when House of Harmony and Vengeance was airing, they said my eye bags looked like cashews. So, in order to cover them up, I usually wear glasses and a hat. Nowadays, I don't have to anymore, I just have to 'bring my eyes to know people'."

When Bobby was shooting the advertisement pictures, the staff in the studio complimented that he successfully 'returned to youth'. He said proudly: "Nowadays it's pretty hard to find someone around the same age to stand next to me. It seems like after Myolie Wu and Linda Chung, I will have to pair up with 'Princess Heung Heung' (Eliza Sam). I need to submit that suggestion to TVB, they can even have Florence Kwok be my mother. If she could be Chris Lai's mother, then she certainly can be mines. Yoyo Mung can be my step mother."

Removed Eye Bags For Esther Kwan

Has Bobby's wife praised he's looks younger? He said: "Once my wife saw me, she said she has to get it done too. I immediately said no because she basically has a daily routine, sleeps around the same time and other times she'll go exercise. How will she have any eye bags? I'm different, I try to get out of it. Exercise? I'll do it tomorrow, let me take a nap first." When asked if he's full of confidence now? Bobby joked: "Yes, I'm perfect now. I could only threaten Kwok Fung before, but now I can finally challenge Raymond Lam."

Before Bobby gets the opportunity to work with Princess Heung Heung, he will first reunite with his old partner Esther Kwan. It is confirmed she'll be back to shoot a TVB series in November, Bobby said: "I'm doing all my preparations. Getting my eye bags removed was mainly because of her. Since 1998, we haven't really collaborated, and she kept it so well, if I don't look younger, how can I be her partner? Such a rare opportunity for us to meet again, I cannot lose to her. Aside from the acting, we should match on the outside as well. I really do anticipate our collaboration, there will definitely be new sparks."

Chilam Cheung is known for being a gentleman and Mr. Good. Last night, he suddenly exploded on his own Weibo denouncing the production assistant (PA) from TVB new series Triumph in the Skies II (TITS2) for randomly issuing him schedules. He expressed: "You guys should just find another job... ... Hong Kong television's downfall is all because of you!" Actually since TITS2 started shooting, there had been rumors all along that there is confusion in the production and filming. A month ago, the crew was working in Central, the other lead actor Francis Ng, also couldn't refrain himself and started scolding the crew in public. This time, Chilam couldn't help but to speak up as well. It seems like the problem is quite serious.

Reporters contacted TITS2's producer Chan Wai Koon to get a better understanding. He expressed: "I already spoke to Chilam over the phone, and apologized to him in private. Actually that night, it was night shooting, the crew wanted to go early and prepare. That PA has only been working here for a few months and is inexperienced. He sent the crew's schedule over to Chilam, which was several hours early. The PA knows where he went wrong. (Will you fire him?) No, just like what Lee Tim Shing says, the most important is not to make the same mistake again."

Reporters also contacted Chilam, but he was unwilling to respond. However, he did post a follow-up Weibo, "The person you should say sorry to is me. I overestimated your (PA) standards!"

As for Chilam's wife, Anita Yuen, who is currently shooting in Mainland, she supported her husband on Weibo as well. "Wah! Capable of upsetting Mr. Cheung, someone with EQ exceeding an ordinary person, you all (PA) really have to get your butts spanked... ... Mr. Cheung don't be upset, bad for the health!"

* FYI: Production assistants (PA) are the lowest in the crew in a film's hierarchy, in terms of salary and authority (from Wiki). Internally, they are responsible for communicating with the other departments (props, costume, administration); Externally, they have to find the outdoor filming locations, stop cars and pedestrians from interfering with filming and control the overall outdoor filming. Anything related to the filming process is part of the PA's duties. PAs' range of work goes from handling artists' schedules to handing a napkin to the artist and setting everything up for the shoot. They basically serve as the 'Ah Sei'. (From HKChannel)

Thoughts: I was a bit surprise by this since you don't often see Chiliam getting mad :P He's so bubbly haha.

Nancy Wu has been in the industry for 9 years and all along, she had a colorful love life. Besides previously admitting she dated Deep Ng and Kenneth Ma, she's often rumored with her co-stars. It was said Nancy dated Kenneth for a little over a year before they broke up, but apparently she couldn't forget this 'seun poon' (best deal) of the TV industry and tried several times to patch the relationship up. She tried her best to arrange business trips with him and made a low-profile guest appearance in his series. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to get Kenneth to turn back.

The heartbroken Nancy steps into the middle-age years and decides to lock down on a target. Finally, earlier this year a friend introduced her to the 'seun poon' in the creative industry (Patt). She moved from the TV industry to the creative industry, plus this new love interest of hers comes from a fairly well-off family background and is a talented gentleman. They haven't been dating for long, but Nancy already sees him as a marriage partner. This time, she cannot afford to lose.

It was understood, Patt came from a well-off family and just came back to HK after studying overseas. He established his own production company and has some fame in the advertising industry. As the boss, he also works as the art director, photographer and creative consultant. The most important is, Patt saw Nancy and it was love at first sight. They have been dating for over six months and he's often doing sweet things to please Nancy. At times, he'll give her romantic surprises, giving her flowers and new handbags. Nancy had been in a great mood, showing off her happiness on Weibo and often goes to friend gatherings with Patt. Earlier on Nancy's 31st birthday, Patt was very creative and planned a surprise birthday party on a cruise for his girlfriend. He secretly invited Nancy's close friends, including Myolie Wu, Mandy Wong and Praisley Wu on the cruise to give Nancy a memorable birthday.

Feeling all sweet with her new lover, yesterday Nancy accepted an interview over the phone and frankly admitted that she and Patt are indeed dating, "We started dating a few months ago. My new boyfriend was introduced to me by a friend. Our personalities match well, so we got together. Also he works in advertisement, so he's partially in the industry and really understands my job. (He's good at giving you surprises?) Last month, he accompanied me on my first birthday party on the cruise, very happy. Myolie Wu was very happy for me as well! (How would you score your boyfriend?) I cannot say now, we are still developing!"

Nancy's new boyfriend's full name is Patt Sham. He's only 30 and already has his own advertisement company called "HIVEMIND" and works as the Creative Director. He has directed Ivana Wong's MV before and helped Hins Cheung shoot his photo album.

Kenneth Defends Ex-Girlfriend Once Again

Ex-boyfriend Kenneth responded: "Usually when we meet at the studio, we chat about everything, but she hasn't told me about her new boyfriend yet. If it's true that she found someone who loves her, of course I wish her all the best!" As for the reports that Nancy had been hoping to reconciled with him and now she has a new target, Kenneth stressed once again: "I will say this one more time, she (Nancy) has not been trying to get back with me. It is just the media's own wishful thinking. You all shouldn't say that about her!" They are still friends, and last month on her birthday, Kenneth sent a SMS to wish her a happy birthday as well, "Our separation was not due to a third party. We are still friends and still talk about anything."

Thoughts: Aw :) I'm so happy for Nancy! Best of luck to her ;)

Yesterday Steven Ma was shooting a commercial for a catering group. He had to demonstrate how to cook up six different lobster dishes. He laughed and said it feels like he's doing a cooking show.

When asked about the recent rumor that he and his girlfriend reconciled? Steven generously admitted: "That's correct! My girlfriend and I did get back together and our relationship is very stabled. However, I'm not sure how we will develop in the future. After all, I am happy with both my work and personal life!" Asked if the catering company will sponsor him lobster to use for his wedding banquet? Steven laughed: "I'm not going to get marry just because of sponsors. If they sponsor me a 100 lobsters, then will I have to host a 100 table banquet?!"

Also, Steven expressed the Mainland series that he filmed earlier will be broadcasting on CCTV soon and welcomes any other TV station to give him acting opportunities.

So now...await for Round 2 to start! :D

Every year, I would go around leaving messages on other blogs when a holiday like this comes around....but I got busy this year :P  haha, so kinda late....anyways, I hope that everybody had a great Mid-Autumn Festival!

Eh...mine was good, except for the fact that I had two mid terms the day after...so wasn't able to stay up late or even study D:  Haha when I woke up that morning though...the sky was still pitch black, and the moon was still glowing ;)  It was beautiful!!  So round and bright :D  Looking at it reminded me of Linda singing "The Moon Represents My Heart" in Witness Insecurity...so I started humming the song while waiting for the bus :P

Too bad the sun soon came out, so the moon kinda disappeared....but guess what, sunrise!!!  And what did that remind me off?  Hmm...have I ever talked about how I came up with the name, "Tvb Horizon"?  I initially wanted to include "Sunset" in my blog's name...because I love seeing the sunset :D  But then that didn't sound right....so what's the opposite of sunset?  Sunrise!  But of course, that didn't sound right either....so I chose "Horizon" because...it's basically both of those.  Just looking out towards the horizon.....which stretches far and wide, with an unlimited number of possibilities.  I don't want to focus my blog entirely on one thing...such as news, or reviews....but with a little bit of everything, which resulted in my messiness haha.  I post what I feel like posting, so things do get a bit scattered and disorganize :P  I don't know if that is a good thing or not...but I'm having fun! :D

OHHHHHH I tend to post something about Mid-Autumn with tvb re-lated subjects, but this year...I kinda ran out of ideas :P  BUT luckily, tvb released some of these "special" mooncakes advertisements!  IF you haven't watch it yet...watch it because they're hilarious :P  haha.

Ok...guilty is charge.  I only have the ones of Linda in it :P  If it didn't have her...I didn't download.  haha.  for those who doesn't know chinese, there are english translations over at Linda Chung Thoughts :)

My favourite one is of Ji Lam (Linda) crying over the mooncakes, that her uncle ate :P  lols so funny how she got so emotional over mooncakes ;)  hehe...
