- The entire focus of today's function was on Vincent Zhao and Melissa Ng.
- Vincent had to demonstrate a few simple Tai Chi moves.
- MC Miguel Choi Hong Nin called Kenneth Ma and Raymond Lam up to follow Vincent's instructions; however, Kenneth injured his thigh playing soccer and did not come forward. Miguel also called Derek Kwok and Al Wai to step forward, but Derek pushed Al Wai out, so he had to do a little Tai Chi. Fred Cheng also walked forward and showed off some Tai Chi.
- Later, Raymond was required to come out and do more Tai Chi; however, this time, he went over to Kenneth, held his hand, and pulled him out.

Raymond: This time we need Ma Ming because this stance can help heal him.
(Raymond walks over to Kenneth and holds his hand.)
Kenneth: I'm injured.
Raymond: That's all right. After this, you should be all better.
(People laugh.)
Kenneth: Really? Really?
Raymond: Yes, Tai Chi is a good healing mechanism.

Raymond and Kenneth both follow Vincent's demonstration. Afterward, Kenneth walks back, but Miguel asked Kenneth to come back out to pose for the photographers in a stance that would best represent Tai Chi. Kenneth chose the most simple stance, which is the inhale position at the end. Everybody laughed at Kenneth's pose.

Personal Note: This is Melissa's first public event after giving birth to her daughter, Maegan (which means "pearl"). The name was chosen by her husband. She also mentioned that Maegan resembles her and her husband equally.

Once she found out that Vincent was also going to appear at the function, she agreed to appear as well. Since his daughter was born right after the birth of her daughter, she wanted to catch up with him. When asked about returning to the small screen, she said she is still in good terms with TVB and will film when Maegan is older and more independent.
