Joe Ngai kindly said he could give lucky money at any time;
Vivian and Joe appeared near Law Siu Fai's house


When Vivian's car passed by yesterday, reporters chased after them to get an interview. Joe was willing to speak, while Vivian didn't say one word.
Law Siu Fai has been in the news again lately, and for that reason, there were many reporters waiting below at Hoh Man Tin. Yesterday at around 4pm, the rarely seen Vivian and Joe drove by in Vivian's car, and when reporters spotted them, the reporters chased after them for an interview. Joe changed his attitude towards the reporters and was smiling when he was being interviewed. He was so kind that he let the reporters take as many pictures as they wanted. On the other hand, Viv seemed to be a bit upset and didn't say one word the whole time.

Although Joe was a bit startled when he first discovered reporters were taking pictures, he didn't act in a negative manner. Not only did he roll down the car window, he even opened the car door to talk to the reporters. He said he returned to HK for Chinese New Year and has been in HK for some time already. He also said he and Viv were going to visit a friend that day. Reporters asked if Joe would be passing out lucky money. After reporters asked this question, Joe and Viv immediately smiled. Joe smiled and said, "If you want it (the lucky money), I can give it to you right now!" (but in the end, he didn't give any lucky money) Then, Joe was smiling and asked the reporters if they had taken enough pictures. If they had taken enough pictures, then he and Vivian needed to go. He said this in a kind manner.

Returning to HK for Chinese New Year, agreeing to give out lucky money;
Vivian Chow and Joe Ngai are close (to getting married)


Vivian was the driver, taking Joe to his friend's house for a Chinese New Year's visit.
Vivian and Joe have been dating for many years. Both of them seldom appear in public places together, and therefore they were rumored to have separated. Earlier Vivian attended her god-brother, Hacken Lee's, concert and left the concert by herself. But recently, Vivian and Joe returned to HK for Chinese New Year. Yesterday at Hoh Man Tin, the rumor of them being separated has been cleared up.

When reporters were trying to interview them, Vivian would always try to avoid the camera, but when reporters asked Joe if he would be passing out lucky money, Vivian suddenly smiled sweetly, so it looks like the 2 of them are very close (to getting married).

Yesterday at 4pm, there were a lot of reporters at Hoh Man Tin waiting for another story to develop, but suddenly they saw a rarely seen Vivian driving her red BMW, and next to her was the rumored person who broke up w/ her, Joe! At first, they were startled by the reporters. Vivian would try to avoid the camera and wouldn't answer any of the reporter's questions. Her boyfriend Joe politely smiled, and then rolled down the car window to be interviewed by the reporters. He said, "I returned to HK for Chinese New Year and will be staying for some time. Right now I'm going to my friend's house for a Chinese New Year's visit!"

Vivian and Joe have been dating for several years. When reporters asked when they would be getting married and giving out lucky money, Vivian smiled sweetly. Joe smiled and said, "Give out lucky money? Ok, I'll give it out right now!" But he didn't actually give out any lucky money, because he was in a rush to go to his friend's house, so reporters had to let them go.

Since the fans were so high-spirited, Hacken did an encore. He was so touched he cried. Hacken said, "During my concerts in '95, every night there would only be about 60-70% people in attendance. Every night when I got on stage, I would see the empty seats and it would make me feel very unhappy. Finally today, I have been accepted by all of you. This time, there are no tickets left for my concert...." Hacken had tears in his eyes, and when he sang "Mo Yin Gam Gik," he couldn't sing some of the lyrics while having tears falling.
