Some of the twelve artistes currently being promoted by TVB, including Winnie Shum, Fu Sze Sze, Vivien Yeo, Martin Lau, Vin Choi, Jack Wu and Amigo Chui were broadening their horizons and knowledge on Chinese Culture by meeting at a Chinese Tea House and savouring this Chinese artform together. Among them, the internationally educated Vivien and Sze Sze were particularly excited and acted like they had discovered something new and causing some amusement. Vivien laughs: "I really love Chinese Culture, but I have not had very much opportunity to come into contact with it, so this is quite an experience for me. (Will you learn to make arts and crafts?) I do not have the patience, but if I can focus my attentions to enjoy it then it is even better." When the men started looking around the buddha statues, they changed their lively personalities as they became subdued and serene as Jack explains: "You never know these things, so being respectful is just good manners."

Also, Yuen will be playing a couple with Maggie Siu and they filmed a fiery dragon dancing scene in TVB City's ancient street two nights ago together with Charmaine Li and Jack Wu, where they played with lanterns in the street. A dragon adorned with incense measuring over a hundred feet long was paraded through the street by ten men to complete the festival scene. Maggie has worked with Yuen before ten years ago and meeting him once again, she praises him for still being so stylish, saying: "He has not changed, still so dashing and agile!"

TVB's new series "Mr Chan of Foshan" held its costume fitting yesterday and cast members taking part included Leung Ka Yan, Timmy Hung, Maggie Siu, Selena Li, Charmaine Li and Jack Wu. Male lead Yuen Wah was not present because he had other engagements. Timmy was sporting an injury on his nose and forehead and explained that this was caused by a premature explosion of a bullet cap and as he had not yet inverted it, he was subjected to the full force of it. Luckily the injury is not serious
