Two nights ago (11/26), Vivian looked sexy wearing a shoulder-revealing long dress to attend a Christmas lighting ceremony. That night was actually the first time she took a picture with Santa Claus. When she was taking a picture with Santa Claus, she playfully pulled on Santa's white beard. In the past, she didn't really celebrate Christmas, but this year she's enthusiastic to celebrate and is planning to buy gifts and to warmly celebrate with her boyfriend.

Two nights ago, Vivian, Wilfred Lau Ho Lung, Stephanie Cheng Yung and others attended the "Olympian City Denmark Christmas lighting event featuring the children's choir." Vivian wore a shoulder-revealing low cut dress and went up on an elevated platform for the lighting ceremony. She donated a white teddy bear to give as a present to a child. Later when Vivian was taking pictures with Santa Claus, she said, "This is the first time I'm taking a picture with Santa Claus!" Then she playfully pulled on Santa's white beard, just like a big kid! She said, "When I was in Vancouver before, I didn't really celebrate Christmas. Even when it was my birthday, I made an agreement with my friends that they don't need to give me gifts, because I'm afraid I'll forget their birthday and think it's troublesome to give gifts back and forth. I even joked saying if they gave me a gift, then I wouldn't see them. Now that I'm older, I know that receiving a gift isn't because you're greedy for the gift, and instead represents the person is thinking of you. I understand it's the thought from the person which is most important."

Vivian also talked about the first Christmas gift she received. It was a toy dog that her mom gave her. She said, "When I was little, I would be watching TV by myself on Christmas Eve, and I even asked my mom if there was really a Santa Claus, and as a result, on the next day I discovered that my mom had given me a present."

Making an exception to celebrate the holiday
This year, Vivian has an unusual attitude and is enthusiastic to decorate her home and buy gifts for her boyfriend and friends. But her boyfriend's parents will be leaving HK soon, so she would be mailing gifts to them later. She said, "I suddenly feel like you don't know what's going to happen next in this world, like SARS, so I'm going to live one year at a time, and if there's something I want to do, then I would do it immediately!" What gift does Vivian really want to receive? She said, "I think being healthy is most important. I hope that everyone and my cats and dog are healthy."

Before going to this event, Vivian went to the grand opening of a wedding shop for fashion designer Dorian Ho. Dorian praised Vivian for having a good body shape, but Vivian said, "I'm lazy to exercise, and I don't take good care of my health. I'll still eat ice cream and other sweet desserts." She laughed saying although the wedding shop had a lot of pretty wedding dresses, she currently doesn't have any use for it.

Dorian Ho revealed Vivian keeps her voice beautiful by singing karaoke


Dorian Ho celebrated the grand opening of his new shop, and Vivian came to congratulate him.

 

Dorian Ho Kwok Ching's high class wedding shop "Dorian Ho Wedding" had its grand opening two nights ago (11/26). To celebrate the opening of his shop, he would be donating the first day's earnings to the Society for Abandoned Animals (SAA). Vivian Chow, who is the ambassador of SAA and also Dorian's good friend, attended the grand opening.

Dorian said the first day's earnings was a 6 figure amount. He said he hopes Vivian likes the wedding dress he designed. The reporter asked if he was hinting that Vivian was getting married soon. He said, "I don't know. It seems like she's not in a big rush to get married, but I hope she would make a comeback to sing. Earlier, I went to karaoke with her. Her voice still sounds very good. I'm hoping she makes a comeback more than her getting married. If she comes back, I would help her make clothes!"

Vivian said it was her good friend Jo Kuk Jo Lam who introduced her to Dorian. Vivian said, "Actually I've always bought the clothes he designed even before I got to know him, but one time, I was rushing to find a dress, and Jo Kuk helped to introduce me to him. I was in a big rush and wanted to do things myself, so I personally called him. I think I definitely scared him."

When talking about Dorian praising her for having a good voice and hoping that she would make a comeback, she praised Dorian for singing Leon Lai's songs really well. Right now, she would only make advertisements. As for getting married, she said she currently doesn't have plans.

Vivian learned how to cherish


Vivian wishes everyone an early Merry Christmas.

 

Two nights ago (11/26), Vivian Chow attended the Christmas lighting ceremony at Olympian City. She was the first one to place a gift, a teddy bear, inside the gift collection area for the children of the Po Leung Kuk charity to give them a merry christmas.

During the past few years, she and her boyfriend Joe spent a warm white Christmas together in Canada, but this year, she plans on celebrating Christmas in HK at home with her family and friends. She said as she got older, she likes being in a lively atmosphere. After SARS a few years ago, she understood the importance of cherishing the people and things around her and seizing the chance to meet with friends, and also, if she wants to say something, she doesn't need to hide it and would immediately say it out loud.

Christmas is arriving soon. On Christmas, she plans to invite her family and friends to celebrate at her home. But it's unfortunate that Joe's family won't be in HK at that time and won't be able to attend. She could only mail the gifts to them, but she hasn't thought of what to buy yet. What gift does Vivian really want to receive? Vivian said it didn't matter what gift she receives, and said the most important thing is to be healthy and for her pets to be healthy.

Two nights ago (11/26), 38 year-old Vivian Chow attended the "Denmark Christmas lighting event featuring the children's choir" at Olympian City. She went up on an elevated platform to do the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. During the event, Vivian donated a teddy bear from her collection to the Po Leung Kuk charity.

Entire family gathering
Although Vivian was older than the other guests at the event, such as Stephanie Cheng Yung (21 years old), she was still very beautiful as she wore a sexy shoulder-revealing evening dress, which attracted several hundred citizens to watch her, and she also received flowers from her fans. Vivian revealed this year she won't be celebrating Christmas only with Joe. She said, "A few years ago, it was just the two of us quietly spending a white Christmas together. This year I'll be spending Christmas together with more friends and family members." She said her future father-in-law Ngai Hong would be returning to the USA at the beginning of next month, so she wouldn't be able to celebrate Christmas with him.



Vivian wore a shoulder-revealing evening dress and was the most beautiful person at the event, and she even stole the spotlight from the Santa Claus she was standing next to.

Vivian is gifted with a good body shape;
Lazy to exercise and still eats ice cream

Vivian Chow stepped out of the entertainment circle many years ago, but recently she has often been appearing at public events, which makes people think she's making a comeback. Two nights ago (11/26), Vivian attended the grand opening of her good friend's new shop and denied she was having plans on making a comeback. She also said she hasn't thought about getting married with her boyfriend Joe Ngai Jan.

Famous HK fashion designer Dorian Ho opened his high class wedding shop in Happy Valley two nights ago. His good friend Vivian especially came to show her support. Other guests at the opening included Dorian's family, Sofie Lee Ka Wai, Jo Kuk Jo Lam and others.

During the grand opening of Dorian's shop, he hoped to do charity at the same time, and he received advice from Vivian and then decided to give the earnings for the first day to the "Society for Abandoned Animals." He said, "The earnings for today is a 6 figure amount, and I'm pretty satisfied." When Dorian was asked if he would design a wedding dress for Vivian, he said, "I think I'll have to wait a long time! Actually I hope she comes back to sing. Earlier, we went to karaoke, and I discovered that her voice is still very good. If she makes a comeback, I would definitely help her design an outfit. Earlier, I had already helped her design a purple evening gown." The reporter asked if Vivian has a good body shape. Dorian said, "Of course it's good!"

No plans yet to make a wedding dress
Vivian revealed it was Jo Kuk Jo Lam who introduced her to Dorian, and later, Vivian called Dorian on the phone to ask if he could design a dress for her. Vivian said, "I think he does a great job in designing clothes. I was in a big rush and I like to do things myself, so I personally called him and even scared him, too!" Regarding Dorian praising Vivian for having a good body shape, she laughed saying, "I'm actually very lazy to exercise, and I'll still eat ice cream. But I don't eat a lot. I eat small portions and more meals." Would Vivian ask Dorian to make a wedding dress for her? Vivian said, "I don't have any plans yet." Is her family rushing her to get married? Vivian said, "No, instead it's the media who's constantly asking."

Regarding Dorian saying that he hopes Vivian would make a comeback, does she have plans on making a comeback? She said, "Everyone shouldn't have such high hopes. The last time I attended an event, it was because of Leo Ku Kui Kei's Outstanding Person awards banquet, and this time I'm also attending an event because of a friend, and these have nothing to do with entertainment work." Would she have any work in front of the camera? Vivian said, "Yes, advertisements!"

Also, two nights ago (11/26), Vivian looked dignified wearing a low-cut evening dress to attend a Christmas lighting ceremony at Olympian City. She was very excited to take a picture with Santa Claus. She said she would be staying in HK during Christmas and be with her friends. She plans on decorating her home and buying lots of gifts, but it's too bad her boyfriend's family will be returning to the USA during the beginning of December. She will mail the gifts to the 2 elders. She said in the past, she didn't really celebrate the holiday, and before, she and her boyfriend spent a few white Christmases together in Canada, and it was only the two of them, so this year she hopes to be with lots of people.

Vivian was very happy to see Santa Claus
(abridged version of actual article)


This was actually the first time Vivian took a picture with Santa Claus.

 

Two nights ago (11/26), Vivian Chow was invited to be a guest at the "Denmark Christmas lighting event featuring the children's choir" in Olympian City. She was lighting the tallest Christmas tree in the HK area and represented Po Leung Kuk charity to accept Christmas gifts for children.

On that night, Vivian looked dignified wearing a low-cut evening dress, but when Santa Claus appeared, it seemed that Vivian forgot her dignified look and became overjoyed as she walked to Santa's side to take a picture with him. Actually, she's never taken a picture with Santa Claus, so she seized the chance on this rare opportunity. She revealed she would be staying in HK for Christmas and would be having a gathering with friends. She plans on decorating her home and buying Christmas gifts to welcome the happy atmosphere. But it's too bad her boyfriend's parents will be returning to the USA at the beginning of December, so she'll have to mail the gifts to them. She honestly said she didn't really celebrate the holiday before and said for the past few years, she spent a white Christmas with her boyfriend in Canada, and it was only the two of them. This year, she hopes to celebrate with lots of people. She said when there was SARS a few years ago, many people lost their loved ones, and thus made her understand that she should cherish the moments she has with her family and friends no matter when and where, and she would try her best to accomplish her goals. She said, "In the past, I would tell my friends not to give me presents because it's troublesome, but now I understand that giving a gift is a way for the person who's giving the gift to show that they're thinking of you, and the cost of the gift isn't important. The gift might be small, but the meaning behind the gift is big."

Vivian is the only child in her family. She said when she was a child, Christmas was very lonely for her. The most lively time was when she and her classmates would make gifts and exchange them with each other. The most memorable moment was during one year when her mom put a toy dog on the head of her bed and made her realize the legend of Santa Claus, and she said her mom was Santa Claus. This year she would spend more time to think of what presents to buy and share this holiday with her sincere lover and family. What gift does Vivian really wish to receive? Vivian wholeheartedly said she hopes her family and her cats and dog are healthy, as they are more important than everything else.

Vivian denies paving a road to making a comeback
Going to 2 events in one night to 'pay back the debt'



Recently, Vivian has often been appearing at public events, but she denies she's paving a road to make a comeback.

Recently, Vivian Chow has often been appearing at public events. Two nights ago (11/26), she attended two events. First she was invited by her good friend, fashion designer Dorian Ho Kwok Ching, to cut the ribbon for the grand opening of his wedding dress shop. Then she went to Olympian City to attend the "Denmark Christmas lighting event featuring the children's choir."

Vivian was asked if she was paving a road to make a comeback to the entertainment circle. Vivian denied she was making a comeback and said she's recently appeared in public mainly to 'pay back the debt' and to do charity work, because the advertisement contract she had signed earlier required her to travel to do promotions and to do charity.

Dorian Ho donates 6 figure amount of money
Even before Vivian became acquainted with fashion designer Dorian Ho, she had already bought his designed clothes to wear. Later Jo Kuk Jo Lam introduced Vivian to Dorian, and they went to karaoke together. Dorian found out that Vivian was an ambassador for the 'HK Society for Abandoned Animals (SAA),' and for this reason he generously gave the 6 figure amount of his first day's shop earnings to SAA.

Praised for having a beautiful voice and fit body
Dorian was asked if he plans on making a wedding dress for Vivian. He laughed saying, "I'll have to wait a long time for that, because she said she doesn't plan on getting married, so actually, I would like to make an outfit for her when she makes her comeback to singing. Her voice and her body is still very fit!" When Vivian heard Dorian praise her for being fit, she also praised Dorian and said his singing voice really sounds like Leon Lai. The reporter asked her if she was given any reward for cutting the ribbon at the grand opening. She said this time she was simply helping her friend, and also because her friend had a very giving heart, so that's why she didn't talk about receiving money for the event. She said she has no plans on getting married, and therefore doesn't need her good friend to design a wedding dress for her yet. She joked saying her family didn't rush her to get married, and instead, the media seemed to be in a bigger rush than her.

Staying in HK for Christmas
When talking about Christmas this year, Vivian said she would be staying in HK during Christmas, because in the past, she was with Joe in Vancouver for a white Christmas, and it was only the two of them. She said as she gradually became older, she started to like being in a lively atmosphere, so she would be buying lots of gifts to give to her friends to represent her kind feelings that she's thinking of them.
