To Noah: I'll try to a little harder to post something you never knew before. Ha ha... :)
ReplyDeleteTo mare: Flora does that to a lot of her male co-stars. For example, Gallen, Moses, Bowie, Nick, Jacky Lui, etc. :D For me, I love Moses and Flora as a couple. Flora would have to be my favourite of all time Moses pair up. :D

ReplyDeletetotally guessed it since your fav. mo series is FM... ;)
by the way Hyn, i always think Tavia's crush back then is Ron, since he took dancing class next door, right?
ReplyDeleteTo mare: Ha ha... Totally love "Family Man!"
ReplyDeleteTo Noah: I would guess that person would be Ron. Ha ha...
I didnt know some of them...but the most surprise one is "Ron Ng and Tavia Yeung would hold hands when shopping together." They didnt had any rumors.
ReplyDeleteTo KLCB: Yeah, I don't know why there were no sparks between the both of them. Ha ha...

ReplyDelete: )
Most of this was collected over the years of watching TVB. And the Bernice ones are second-hand source. ;)
ReplyDeleteAdded the Myolie and He one on July 12th. She is probably going to start mentioning it in interviews soon because BF3 is airing. ;)
ReplyDeleteAfter doing some research, I've changed the Stephen Chan one. His stage name was Wai Ka Ching when he was a DJ. :)
ReplyDelete@hyn5: Finally had time to read your special posts.
ReplyDeleteHaha.... Did not know that the crew of HHII thought that Moses and Yoyo were a real couple. Really love their chemistry. Wish that Moses would pair up with actresses closer in age.
To Guru:
ReplyDeleteAlso like Moses and Yoyo together. Also, have always wanted Moses to collaborate with Jessica (she even expressed it before), but doubt it's ever going to happen, since they film for opposite sides.
wow the HH2 cast thing is hilarious! haha but I have to agree that Yoyo and Moses' chemistry was really great in that drama! They really gave off a couple feel!
