Playing pool with Vivian on her birthday
Yesterday was Vivian's birthday. Her good friend Leo Ku played pool with her two nights ago. He also gave Vivian 2 surprises. He said, "Every night, she listens to her boyfriend's (Joe's) radio program. Even if she's playing pool, she would listen while she plays. I quietly hid and called into Joe's radio program and wished her a happy birthday live on the radio. At 12:00AM, all her good friends came out with a birthday cake and champagne to celebrate her birthday with her. I plan on giving her the newest cell phone, the C381, as a gift." When asked about Vivian's pool playing skills, Leo said since she's able to play in public competitions, then of course her pool playing skills are good.

SingPao newspaper:
Leo goes to a party and makes a big discovery;
Vivian suddenly changes her date of birth
Vivian's birthday is supposedly this month on the 20th. Starting this year, she unexpectedly and strangely changed her birthday to the 10th of this month. Two nights ago, some of her good friends were temporarily replacing her boyfriend Joe's duty by playing pool with the birthday girl and also giving her a birthday cake, making the birthday girl very happy.

Two nights ago, Leo was also at the birthday party. During a public event yesterday, Leo told reporters that two nights ago, he and a group of friends met with Vivian to play pool. When it was 12:00AM, everyone brought out a birthday cake and champagne to celebrate with the birthday girl. She seemed to be very surprised. Although Joe had to work on his radio program and wasn't able to go to the party, Vivian had the radio on and celebrated while she supported her boyfriend. Leo even secretly called into Joe's radio program to wish Vivian a happy birthday, which gave Vivian more surprise.

On Joe's radio program, Joe said Vivian's birthday this year is different from the previous years, because in the previous years, her birthday was not on November 10th. But starting this year, her birthday has been changed to the 10th. Why did her birthday change? Joe said, "The official answer is that her mom remembered the wrong date before."

Vivian willingly learns about being a traditional female; Joe is attentive in doing a taste test for her, bringing sweetness to the heart


Vivian, who possesses the beautiful traditional Chinese female spirit, shows off her gentleness.


Vivian really is a jade girl master. She still looks beautiful.


Vivian still looks attractive wearing a backless dress.

 

Vivian Chow accepted an interview for the November issue of "Bazaar" magazine. She emphasized she's been a person for so many years and has a lot of things she wants to tell people who feel lost on their path. She doesn't think she's open-minded, but she has some small secret skills which allow her to live a more satisfying life She willingly chose to be the woman behind the man, and even learned that being gentle is the best way to get along with each other.

When asked about her seeming to have become the woman behind the man, she denied this and said, "This description has a negative meaning. I willingly chose this. I feel that females now want male-female equality and are firm about all matters. Actually men and women have differences, and at this age, I finally learned what the traditional female gentleness is all about. I want to urge all ladies to learn to be gentle, because that's the best way to get along with a lover." And what is being gentle to Vivian? Vivian said, "I always ask for my boyfriend's opinion first before thinking about my own, as long as the things I like and desire aren't interfered with. When we have an argument, I would remain calm to let him calm down and would primarily follow his opinion. Both of us feel comfortable with this style of getting along with each other."

Regarding Joe Ngai Jan often talking about things that happened in their life on his radio program, Vivian honestly said, "Sometimes I feel shocked when I hear this, but also feel it's very natural. We've known each other for 15 years and dated for 12 years. During the 3 years that we were apart, we still maintained a good friendship. After being apart for 3 years, both of us weren't with another person, so we got back together again. We had separated before because both of us were self-centered, and now we've changed to being peaceful and stable. He knows I like eating coffee cake rolls. He went to several bakeries to buy coffee cake rolls for me to do a taste test to see which one I liked the most. He would eat all the other rolls that I didn't like eating. He also knows I'm lazy to eat fruits. Everyday he would peel off the orange skin and he would taste the orange for me. If the orange was sour, he would eat it, and if it's sweet, he would give it to me."

Already earned enough money for the rest of her life at age 28
Vivian said that when she was 28, she already knew she made enough money to use for the rest of her life, because she doesn't need to have a life of luxury. On the day of the interview while she was drinking Chinese tea, she felt satisfied and said she's very happy. She's not afraid of getting old. She's most afraid of being sick and isn't afraid of dying. She said, "I often say if one day I suddenly die from a heart attack, then it's my good fortune."

Vivian learns how to be gentle


 

 

Not only does Vivian Chow still look the same as many years ago, her beautiful body also hasn't changed. Recently, she wore a sexy low-cut dress and backless dress for "Bazaar" magazine's front cover and photos on the inside of the magazine, which has an eye-catching effect and "makes your nose bleed" effect.

Doesn't wish to be 'the woman behind the man'
Vivian was in hiding for many years. She and Joe had a low key and tranquil lifestyle, which gave people a feeling that she was the woman behind the man, but she doesn't agree with this at all. She said, "'The woman behind the man' always has a meaning of being treated unfairly and unwillingly, with a negative meaning. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm the kind of person who likes to make my own decisions. I willingly chose this life. Perhaps many girls are always shouting for male-female equality and have to be firm all the time and don't know how to make mutual sacrifices. The fact is that men and women have natural differences. When I was little, there was no man in my family, so my personality became very strong. Now I finally learned about the traditional female gentleness. I urge all women to learn to be gentle, because that's the best way to get along with a lover."

Right now, as long as her boyfriend doesn't interfere with her own wishes and the things that make her happy, then she would listen to her boyfriend's opinion first before she thinks about her own. Even if there's a dispute, both would remain calm and would follow Joe's opinion first.

Revealing sweet moments with Joe
Vivian honestly said you can't say she's changed to being open-minded, but she feels happy more often than most other people. A person experiences different challenges at different ages. Vivian revealed some of her sweet moments with Joe. Joe knows Vivian is lazy to eat fruits, so everyday he would peel off the orange skin for her and would taste the orange for her. If the orange is sweet, then he would give it to her to eat. In Vancouver, he would buy coffee cake rolls from all the local bakeries because she likes to eat coffee cake rolls. If Vivian doesn't like the taste of the coffee cake roll, then Joe would eat all of it. These tiny actions made them very happy. Vivian said, "Many lovers who are together for a long time would forget about paying attention to the good things about the other person. My small secret is if you know how to look at things more closely, then you would be more easily satisfied."

Vivian isn't afraid of getting old. Instead, she's most afraid of being sick. She often says if one day she suddenly dies from a heart attack, then it's her good fortune. A person needs to learn how to be in good spirits.

Vivian urges women to learn how to be gentle


Vivian's gentleness makes countless men fall over.

 

Vivian Chow went into hiding for 8 years. People from outside describe her as being the 'woman behind her man' with Joe. Recently, she accepted an interview from a magazine and said this description brings about a meaning of being treated unfairly and unwillingly, with a negative meaning. If she needs to make a sacrifice for the relationship, then she willingly chose to do it. She feels that women nowadays always shout for male-female equality and that women are firm all the time and don't understand about mutual sacrifices. This is not correct. Actually men and women have natural differences. At this age, she finally learned what the traditional female gentleness is all about. She urges all women to learn how to be gentle, because it's the best way to get along with a lover. To speak softly is just being flirtatious and isn't being gentle. Being gentle is to think of her boyfriend's opinion before her own.

Vivian said she and Joe have known each other for 15 years and dated for 12 years. They were still able to maintain a very friendly relationship with each other during the 3 years that they were apart. Both of them have a lot of experience in love, and because of this, Joe would sometimes talk about the difficulties they've experienced and the solutions to those problems with listeners of his radio program. Vivian doesn't mind about Joe doing this. Vivian loves eating coffee cake rolls. When she was in Vancouver, Joe would buy her a coffee cake roll one after the other to let her do a taste test. If the roll doesn't taste good, then Joe would eat it all. Also, Joe knows Vivian is lazy to eat fruits, so everyday he would peel off the orange skin for her and would taste the orange for her. If the orange is sour, then he would eat it, and if it's sweet, then he would give it to her to eat. It's these very tiny actions which make them happy.

Vivian said that when she was 28, she already knew she had made enough money to use for the rest of her life, because she doesn't need to have a life of luxury. She also doesn't fear about getting old. She's most afraid of being sick and isn't scared of dying. She often says if one day she suddenly dies from a heart attack, then it's her good fortune.

Vivian accepts an interview and openly shows her chest


Vivian, who is gradually coming back, has an even stronger woman spirit.

 

Earlier Vivian Chow accepted an interview and talked about her own inner world. People on the outside think that she's an open-minded person, but Vivian honestly said she's not open-minded. It's just that she feels happy more often than most people, and she honestly said that as a person gets older, there are more and more matters a person must confront. Vivian said, "A person has to confront different challenges during different stages!"

As for everyone thinking that she is the women behind Joe Ngai Jan, Vivian doesn't agree. She said the description of 'the woman behind the man' brings a meaning of being treated unfairly and unwillingly, with a negative meaning. She said, "People who know me know that I like to make my own decisions. If you need to describe this relationship as me sacrificing a little more, I would tell you I willingly chose this."

Vivian honestly said she's very happy right now. Joe is impulsive with a child-like innocence, and she knows how to remain calm when he gets angry, so both of them are easily satisfied. She said, "I remember before we separated, we were both very self-centered, and now our mentality has changed to being peaceful and stable."

Vivian Chow accepted an interview for "Bazaar" magazine. During Joe's radio program, he would sometimes talk about things from their life together. When Vivian hears Joe talking about these things, sometimes she would feel very shocked, but she also felt it's a very natural performance. They've known each other for 15 years and have been in love for 12 years. During the 3 years that they were apart from each other, they still maintained their friendship because he knew how to be caring of her. After being apart for 3 years, both of them weren't with another person, so they got together again. It could be said that they've had a lot of experience in love. Since the listeners of the radio program need some advice, Vivian feels there's no harm in telling the listeners about the difficulties they experienced together and how they solved their problems.

Vivian also said that when she was 28, she already knew she had made enough money to use for the rest of her life, because she doesn't need to have a life of luxury. Is she scared of getting old?

A lot of people said she is the woman behind her man, however she doesn't agree. She said, "The description of 'the woman behind the man' brings about a meaning of being treated unfairly and unwillingly. But I like to make my own decisions.

I urge all women to learn to be gentle, because that's the best way to get along with a lover. To speak softly is just being flirtatious and isn't being gentle!"

Recently Joe has often talked about things that happened in their life on his radio program. Vivian said, "When I heard it, I was very shocked! We've been friends for 15 years and have been in love for 12 years. During the 3 years that we weren't together, we were still very good friends.

After being apart for 3 years, both of us weren't with another person, so that's why we got together again!"

Vivian said she's really happy now. "Joe is really impulsive with a child-like innocence. I know how to stay calm when he gets angry. Both of us are easily satisfied.

Vivian and Matilda Tao Zi.

 

Vivian Chow and Joe Ngai Jan have been dating for many years and their relationship is stable. Although both of them insist on not having plans to wed, Vivian feels that spiritually she and Joe are already a family. A few days ago, she accepted an interview on a Taiwan TV program "Happy People #100 Advanced Plan #2" hosted by Matilda Tao Zi. Vivian admitted to being "Mrs. Ngai." She said Joe doesn't need to do anything especially for her to make her happy, because she's an easily satisfied person. She thinks a simple life makes her the happiest. It's not necessary to get married just for a feeling of security.

She presently hasn't thought about getting married, and has no plans on having children. She said her cats and dog are her children. There's not enough time to take care of them. Her definition of happiness is that people who are appreciative and are easily satisfied are happier. The most important thing is to love yourself.

Vivian calls herself "Mrs. Ngai" in her own family with Joe

After Vivian Chow came back, she has repeatedly appeared in the spotlight recently. Earlier, she even accepted interviews by the Taiwan media!

Actually, she's always felt that she and Joe are already a family, and even admitted to being "Mrs. Ngai," so that's why they don't even bother to sign a marriage certificate!

Vivian and Joe could compete with each other at any time


Vivian repeatedly called her boyfriend Joe to ask about the situation of his match.

 

Vivian Chow and her boyfriend Joe Ngai Jan have the same interest, and that is their hobby of playing American pool. Earlier this year, both of them joined a pool club HKPC. Most of the time they would participate in friendly matches. Two nights ago, both of them represented their pool club to participate in the first round match of the "First Official Pool Billiards Team League in Hong Kong." Both of them are not on the same team, so Joe had to go to a different venue to play his match. Even though Vivian didn't need to compete that night, as the team captain for her team, she went to another venue to show support for her team. During the resting period of the match, she made a phone call to ask her boyfriend about the situation of his match over there.

After Joe's match was over, he rushed to Vivian's venue to give her the good news that he won his first round match and the team won 3 points. Unfortunately, Vivian's team did not play as smoothly, as her 5 team members all lost their matches. The reporter asked Vivian if she was disappointed. Vivian said, "No, because this time the opponent was very strong. We already thought that we might not win. We just wanted to participate to gain more experience."

Next week will be Vivian's turn to play. Does Vivian feel any pressure when most of her opponents are men? Vivian said, "I usually play pool with men, so I won't especially feel pressure. However, if there are reporters taking pictures at the venue, then I would feel pressure, and I'm afraid it would affect other team members. Earlier, some fans said they wanted to watch me compete, but I said it's not a good idea. If you want to come, then don't let me see you."

Depending on luck to win the game
The reporter asked if there was a chance that she would be competing against her boyfriend. Vivian said, "There's a chance, because we're not on the same team. Before the match, we have to hand over the list of names of the players to the league. The names are kept secret, and you can't change players just before a match, so it's not possible to avoid competing against each other." The reporter asked, "Is it more advantageous to play against your boyfriend?" Vivian said, "He plays really well. I'll only win against him if I'm lucky." When both of them left the pool hall, Joe was considerate, taking the initiative to hold the cue stick bag for Vivian. At the venue, there were some female fans asking Vivian for her autograph. They also asked Joe for his autograph, and he didn't refuse.

Ngai Hong really wants grandchildren, constantly rushing them; Look at faith for Vivian to have a baby


Vivian is the spokesperson for Shiseido cosmetics.

Vivian gives her book to Violet Chow Wai Wai, who is one of the founding members of the Society for Abandoned Animals.

 

Yesterday Vivian Chow attended a charity sales event for the Society for Abandoned Animals. The reporter mentioned about Ngai Hong, her boyfriend Joe's father, seeing her vomit frequently before, and he mistakenly thought that she was pregnant and became very excited. She admitted that Joe's father often rushes them to have a baby, but she and Joe already agreed that they would rather raise cats and dogs and not have children. In order to appease the elderly, she already promised to give birth to the baby for the Ngai family if she unexpectedly becomes pregnant.

Vivian revealed that after she left the entertainment circle, her health became worse than before. It was very easy for germs from her cold to enter the intestines and she would often vomit and would need to go to the hospital to get a shot to stop the vomiting. She said, "Dad (Ngai Hong) would say each time, "You're vomiting? Are you pregnant?" Even though he (Ngai Hong) knows we agreed not to have a baby, but he would always joke with me, and would rush us to have a baby. He's jealous we love Pal (their cat) so much. We tell Pal to call him grandpa, but he didn't accept this and wants a real baby!" Ngai Hong even said he really wants to have grandchildren, so she also said, "I promised him that if I unexpectedly become pregnant, then I would give birth to the child. He said he doesn't need us to take care of the child and would help out."

So happy to see her friends in Taiwan that she cried
Vivian recently just came back from Taiwan from promoting a skincare product. Vivian said the TV station gave her a big surprise by inviting her friends that she hasn't seen for 8 years. Lam Lung Suen, Samuel Toi Jing Siu and others appeared while there was touching music being played. When the fans gave her flowers, she finally couldn't hold back the tears and started crying. She said, "After the program was over, I thought I could calm down. But when I went into the makeup room, I saw my promotional assistant who had taken care of me ever since I first worked in Taiwan, and I cried even more severely and I collapsed emotionally. This was my second time to cry like that. The first time was in '94 during my HK concert." The reporter asked, "Then do you have an impulse to immediately come back to have a concert?" Vivian said, "No, I don't. I'm just very touched that after 8 years, my fans and friends still treat me so well. But this all felt just like a dream because I came and left Taiwan so fast. Everything happened so fast in such a short time. This time we exchanged phone numbers, and we hope that it's not another 8 years before we see each other again!"

Regulary meets with fans for dinner and sing karaoke
Vivian wants to thank her friends, as well as thank the Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas fans who have made webpages for her. She also wants to thank the fans who have cared about her and were concerned about her for all these years. That's why she often takes the initiative to contact them, including leaving messages and posting pictures from her life on the webpages. Every year, she also arranges to meet with the fans a few times to have dinner or go to sing karaoke. But Vivian frankly said she would soon be spending most of her time on the pool competition and hopes to paint again. She currently doesn't have any plans on doing work in front of the camera.

Vivian making Ngai Hong happy for nothing


Holding a certificate of merit for being a spokesperson.

 

Vivian Chow's own handwritten book "My Cat Son Pal Chow" was released several months ago. Recently, she and a cosmetic company worked together to have a charity sale event yesterday. All the proceeds will be given to the Society for Abandoned Animals as funds for their use. A large group of fans went to the event to show their support. Several people were able to get Vivian's autograph and even gave her some gifts.

One weekly magazine used Vivian on their front cover, indicating that she and Joe's long term relationship has a result, because she recently was vomiting frequently, suspecting that she's pregnant. Ngai Hong (Joe's father) lives overseas. When he heard the news, he was very happy. When Vivian appeared at the event yesterday, she was immediately asked by reporters about this, making her immediately not be able to hold back her laughter. She said after she left the entertainment circle, her health was indeed not as good as before. Earlier, she even experienced several times having the germs from her cold enter her intestines, which made her continuously vomit. In order to control the situation, she finally had to go to the hospital to get a shot to stop the vomiting and was given intravenous fluids.

Vivian laughed saying Ngai Hong really thought she was pregnant when he saw that she was vomiting frequently. Vivian joked, "Dad (Ngai Hong) asked me if I was pregnant. I then told Pal (her cat) to call him grandpa. He said he'd rather have a real grandchild call him grandpa." Vivian honestly said she and Joe already agreed long ago that they don't plan on having children. She said, "For the past few years, society hasn't been stable. I don't want the child's growing up process to be effected. Cats and dogs have no other method because they don't understand about contraception.

Would definitely give birth if she unexpectedly becomes pregnant
When talking about Ngai Hong being full of hope at that time and now he has nothing to hope for, how did she appease her 'father-in-law?' Vivian honestly said if she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she would definitely give birth to the child. Ngai Hong even promised to take care of their child.

Earlier, Vivian went to Taiwan and appeared on a TV program. During the program, she was able to meet with her old friends Lam Lung Suen and Samuel Toi. She hasn't seen both of them for many years. She was pleasantly surprised to see them and was so excited she wanted to cry. After the show was over, she went into the makeup room and saw her promotional assistant who had followed her for many years. At that time, she couldn't hold back her tears and started crying. They exchanged e-mail addresses and phone numbers to get in touch with each other, since it was rare for them to see each other. Vivian said she actually keeps in contact with some of her familiar fans. Sometimes, they would even meet to have dinner, and she would post her pictures on the web for her fans to enjoy.

Heard she vomits frequently; Ngai Hong is happy for nothing; Vivian jokes about being pregnant


Vivian talks about the joke that she's pregnant and felt that it's so amusing.

 

Vivian Chow and Joe Ngai Jan have lived together for many years. They currently still don't have any plans on getting married. Recently, there was news which indicated that Vivian suddenly began vomiting frequently and suspected that she was pregnant, making Ngai Hong who is living in the USA very happy, thinking that he would soon be a grandpa.

Often needs to get a shot to stop the vomiting
Yesterday Vivian attended a cosmetic charity sale event. She wore a low cut dress, and her bodyshape still looked like she wasn't pregnant. When she was asked about the pregnancy news, she laughed while replying, "After I left the entertainment circle, my health was not as good as before. I would frequently vomit because the germs from my cold entered my intestines. Sometimes I would even need to go to the hospital to get a shot to stop the vomiting and would be given intravenous fluids. But nowadays I vomit less." She also talked about a joke which happened one day and said, "When I think back on the day that dad (Ngai Hong) found out I was vomiting, he asked me, 'You're vomiting? Are you pregnant?'"

No plans to have children
Vivian indicated that Joe's dad often rushes them to have a baby. Even though he knows they don't want to have a baby, but he still won't give up. She even told Pal (her cat) to call dad 'grandpa,' however, dad said he wouldn't accept it and wants a real baby. Vivian said she and Joe already agreed that they wouldn't have children, because she felt society nowadays isn't stable and she's not able to guarantee that the child will be able to have a happy life. Also, a person needs to be very intelligent to solve problems in life in order to be happy. She doesn't want to bring a new life into this world to suffer. She's raising her cats and dog because they don't understand about contraceptions and have no other method. However, if she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she would give birth to the child. Ngai Hong has already promised to take care of their child.

Going to Taiwan and happily meeting her friends
Vivian has always loved animals. Yesterday, she worked with Shiseido to have a charity sale event. If a person bought a cosmetic item, they would also receive Vivian's book "My Cat Son Pal Chow" with her autograph on it. All proceeds will be given to the Society for Abandoned Animals as funds for their use.

Vivian recently returned from a trip to Taiwan. When she appeared on one TV show, she met some of her friends that she hasn't seen for many years. Because the TV station wanted to give her a big surprise, they wouldn't let her know ahead of time which guests would be appearing on the show. When she saw her friends, she was so excited she wanted to cry.

Vivian vomiting because of cold; denies being pregnant


Vivian clarifies she vomited because she was sick and not because she was pregnant.

 

Recently, Vivian Chow constantly has rumors that she's pregnant, but each time the news wasn't true. Even though Ngai Hong, her boyfriend Joe's father, said more than once that he really wants to have a grandchild, the couple still haven't done anything about it. Recently there was a time when Vivian got sick and she was vomiting frequently, which made her future father-in-law think that she was pregnant and he was confused. But Vivian replied saying if she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, then she will have the baby, so if Ngai Hong wants to have grandchildren, then there's still hope.

Yesterday Vivian attended the 'Shiseido Revital Charity Sale' event. Regarding the reports which indicated that her future father-in-law Ngai Hong mistakenly believed that she was pregnant, Vivian said, "After I left the entertainment circle, sometimes my health would be poor. The germs from my cold entered my intestines, and I didn't get any shot to stop the vomiting, so that's why I frequently vomited..."

Vivian also said, "When his (Joe's) dad saw that I was vomiting, he thought I was pregnant. That's how he is! He's always jealous that I love Pal (Vivian's cat) so much. Sometimes I would tell Pal to call him grandpa, but he wouldn't accept it. He wants a real baby."

One reporter asked her if she plans on having a child. She said, "Society isn't stable. I can't guarantee that a baby coming into this world would be happy every minute and every second. You need to be very intelligent to solve problems in life. But I did make a promise that if I unexpectedly become pregnant, then I would have the baby. His (Joe's) dad is even funnier. He said if we don't take care of the child, then he would take care of the child!"

Also, Vivian earlier went to Taiwan and appeared on a TV program. She even sang during the program, which is very rare. But she emphasized that she only did this because of her interest and that she's not making a comeback. When she thought back on her Taiwan trip this time, being able to see many of her old friends, she felt very touched. In '94 during her HK concert, she cried once, and now 10 years later she cries again in front of everyone.

Yesterday, she did a charity sale event for Shiseido. Shiseido donated 100 eye masks for the event. Anyone who bought the eye mask would also receive an autographed copy of Vivian's book "My Cat Son Pal Chow." The proceeds will be given to the Society for Abandoned Animals.

Vivian maintained her feeling of excitement


 

 

Yesterday, Vivian Chow attended a charity sale event at the Festival Walk shopping mall. She's the spokesperson for Shiseido's Revital product. Many of her old fans were there to show their support. She honestly said that recently she's been invited to different public events, and one after another, she would see her former working partners and her fans, which made her maintain her feeling of excitement again.

Vivian mentioned about her recent trip to Taiwan to attend a TV program. During the taping of the program, she was able to meet her old working partners Samuel Toi and Lam Lung Suen. She hasn't seen both of them for many years. Even a group of her old fans also appeared. She was very pleasantly surprised. She also said at that time, she was touched and still had the strength to hold back her tears. But after the show, when she went into the makeup room, she saw her former promotional assistant again who had followed her for many years, and she finally collapsed emotionally and couldn't stop crying. Vivian said that was her second time she cried during a public event. The first time was during her '94 Hong Kong concert.

The reporter asked Vivian if she thought about having a concert again to meet her fans. She said, "Again, it's unlikely." She said she currently has no plans to come back to showbiz. She's just planning to work hard on sharpening her pool playing skills and to do paintings again. However, she really cherishes her group of old friends and fans, so she exchanged phone numbers with them to make it more convenient to keep in touch.

Regarding a report which indicated that Joe's father, Ngai Hong, once misunderstood that she was pregnant, Vivian admitted there was this matter. She said, "After I left the entertainment circle, my health became poor. Whenever germs from my cold entered my intestines, I would vomit a lot. One time, dad (Ngai Hong) asked if I was pregnant. Actually, he already knows we don't have plans on having children. He's also jealous that I love Pal (her cat) so much. He said he wouldn't accept the cat for calling him grandpa and would only respond if I give birth to a baby."

Ngai Hong's dream of having a grandchild has diminished;
Germs from Vivian's cold entered intestines, mistakenly thought she's pregnant



Yesterday Vivian wore loose-fitting clothes to attend an event. She said she was vomiting because germs from her cold entered her intestines.

 

A few days ago, there was a report indicating that Vivian Chow was frequently vomiting, making Joe's father Ngai Hong become very excited, thinking that he would have a grandchild. Yesterday, Vivian explained that after she left the entertainment circle, her health became worse. One time she had to go to the hospital because the germs from her cold entered her intestines, causing her to vomit a lot. However, if she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she would have the baby.

Yesterday Vivian, who's the spokesperson for Shiseido, wore loose-fitting clothes to attend the 'Shiseido Revital Charity Sale' event. She attracted many people to watch the event. Regarding the misunderstanding about her being pregnant, Vivian said she and Joe have agreed for a long time that they currently won't have children. Vivian said, "It's so funny! I vomit less nowadays. After I left the entertainment circle, my health hasn't been so good. One time the germs from my cold entered my intestines and I had to enter the hospital to get a shot to stop the vomiting and was given intravenous fluids. Dad (Ngai Hong) said 'You're vomiting? Are you pregnant?' He's always joking with me and rushing me to have a baby, so Joe and I would tell Pal Chow (their pet cat) to call him grandpa, but he wouldn't accept it. Joe and I agreed that we wouldn't have children at this time. The society right now is not stable. We can't guarantee our baby will be happy every minute and every second. You need to be very intelligent to solve the many problems in life. Cats and dogs only become pregnant because they can't control themselves. But if I unexpectedly become pregnant, I would still have the baby. His (Joe's) dad said he would take care of the baby!"

Intensely practicing pool
Also, Vivian earlier attended a TV program in Taiwan and was reunited with her good friends Samuel Toi Jing Siu and Lam Lung Suen. She was so happy and excited. Vivian said, "They had a secret party to welcome me, making me not be able to hold back my tears. I cried so much I collapsed emotionally." The reporter asked, "Then do you have an impulse to return to have a concert?" Vivian said, "I won't. I exchanged phone numbers with them. Recently I've been busy practicing pool because later I will be playing in a match. I currently don't have plans on working again."

Vivian denies being pregnant and is focused on playing pool


Vivian clarifies she and Joe aren't ready to have a child. She would become a mother only if she unexpectedly becomes pregnant.

 

For the past few years, Vivian Chow fell in love with playing pool by being influenced by her boyfriend Joe. Both of them recently signed up together to participate in last night's "First Official Pool Billiards Team League in Hong Kong." It's known that there will be 8 teams participating in the league. The competition will last for 7 weeks. Vivian and Joe belong to the same club, but both will represent a different color team. Vivian arrived early for the match because she's the team captain for her team, but it wasn't her turn yet to play in the pool match. She said, "Today I was in a big rush, so I arranged to play next week instead. I think I will be playing in 4 matches." It's currently not known if the two of them will have to play against each other.

Vivian started learning how to play pool when she was in Vancouver. This year in June, she personally participated in an open HK pool tournament. She said, "On that day, I was the only female participating. This time there are only 2 females playing, including me. I really want to attract more females to participate, so I'm really active in popularizing this activity."

Also, yesterday afternoon, Vivian attended a promotional event as Shiseido's spokesperson. Recently, there was news that Vivian was pregnant and was vomiting. Vivian said the germs from her cold entered her intestines and she had to go to the hospital to get a shot to stop the vomiting. This lead to the misunderstanding of her being pregnant. However, she admitted that her 'dad' Ngai Hong would often rush them to have a baby. But she and Joe already agreed that they won't have children. If she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, then she would consider being a mother.
