Vivian gives her first time to support Joe


We wouldn't have noticed any difference if Jade Girl Vivian didn't say it was her first time wearing high heel shoes while playing pool. Joe really has a good life. He has a pretty girlfriend, and she's also helpful.

 

Joe Ngai Jan is the boss of a pool hall which had its grand opening last Sunday (1/8). Vivian Chow, being his girlfriend and also a big fan of American pool, of course arrived early to the pool hall to show her support. On the day of the grand opening, there were only 2 other female artists at the event, Emme Wong Yi Man and Jo Kuk Jo Lam, so Vivian, being the jade girl master, naturally and easily became the focus point of the whole place. Jade Girl Vivian even knew what to do and loudly said, "It's my first time wearing high heel shoes while playing pool!" Vivian didn't hesitate to 'give her first time' to support her boyfriend.

On that day, Vivian not only had to take care of her friends and the media, she also had a large group of fans at the event to show their support. Vivian always gives a positive response to her fans' requests. After completing the opening ceremony and the pool competition, she immediately took care of her fans. Not only did she talk with her fans, of course taking pictures and giving autographs couldn't be missed! The pool hall suddenly looked like it was a fans club gathering. It's really funny.

Although it looked like Joe's spotlight was being taken away by his girlfriend, he and Vivian wouldn't care about such things!

  Vivian and Joe.
     
  After the pool competition, the pool hall changed to Jade Girl Vivian's fans gathering, as Vivian autographed so many things that her hand got tired.

Last night (1/11), after leaving her fans for 10 years, jade girl master Vivian Chow appeared in Beijing as the spokesperson of a shampoo brand for their new "nourishing anti-hair fall" product. During the interview, Vivian revealed that this was her first TV commercial after she had returned and said, "I was so nervous the night before shooting the commercial that I couldn't sleep!"

Given a star as a present; being very nervous for her first TV commercial after she returned to showbiz
Earlier, Pantene treated Vivian with great importance and gave her a star. This star is near the stars named after Elizabeth Taylor and the deceased Princess Diana. When this matter was mentioned at the event, Vivian looked very excited and said, "I'm very happy. At first I was planning to look for the star in the sky that night, but one of my fans already helped me find it." Even though the jade girl left for 10 years, it seems her fans still haven't decreased.

Vivian said, before she became the spokesperson for this brand (Pantene), she used the product for one month and thought that the product was indeed good, so that's why she decided to be the spokesperson for that brand. She said, "This is my first TV commercial after returning. It's not only a TV commercial, there's also print ads, so I'm very cautious when choosing what brand to represent. I have to try out the product first before making my decision." The TV commercial came out with good results. Vivian looked natural and very beautiful. Vivian was very nervous the night before the shoot. She said, "I couldn't sleep the night before shooting the Pantene commercial, but after I arrived at the location for the shoot, everything recovered again and the feeling was very comfortable."

Meeting an old friend while shooting the commercial; no plans for making movies or music albums
During the press conference, Vivian also revealed that when she was shooting the commercial, she met one of her old friends. She said, "When I was shooting the commercial, I unexpectedly met a person which I knew before. This person worked together with me in my first movie as a photographer. After I finished shooting the commercial, he walked over to me and said, 'Actually, we know each other,' and after talking with him, I then remembered how we had worked together before."

Vivian also shared some tips on how she keeps her hair beautiful and elegant. She said, "Beautiful hair can definitely increase a woman's charm. We should give good care to our hair just like how we take good care of our skin. But women who are seeking beauty would be worried about their health condition when they often see their own hair fall, and would thus lead to feeling depressed, and also being unable to feel happy while trying to have a beautiful image. I've always paid close attention to my own health problems, so that's why I'm especially happy to see a product appear on the market which could solve the hair falling problem."

Since Vivian is making a comeback and has made her first TV commercial after her return, does she have any plans for acting or singing again? Who knows if it's because she rested for too long or if she sees everything as being boring, Vivian simply replied, "I don't have any plans."

A famous Zodiac sign expert from Taiwan looked at how Vivian's scorpio Zodiac sign temperament was related to protecting beautiful hair. Vivian couldn't help but sigh and said, "If you love beautiful hair, then you have to understand it more. A beautiful girl's Zodiac sign needs to be based on one's own characteristic, and you need to give special love to beautiful hair and to create a fashionable hairstyle which is suitable for yourself." This time working together with this famous brand, Vivian said, "It's Pantene's constant persistence of having a graceful and dignified image, and also their advocacy of a healthy and beautiful point of view from the inside and outside, which attracted me."

After the event ended, she accepted interviews from the media. That night, Vivian answered all of the reporters' questions and laughed saying the reporters can ask her any question they wanted. Her attitude extremely coordinated with the reporters.

Thanking her fans for supporting her for a long time; denies she would be having an anniversary concert
There were rumors before from the media which said that although Vivian is making a comeback, she's persistent in "not releasing a music album and not shooting movies." Regarding these rumors, Vivian said, "This isn't true. I feel if the album theme or movie is healthy, then I could consider it." At the same time, Vivian said she's really grateful that everyone didn't forget her and happily said, "After I left showbiz, my relationship with my fans has become even closer than in the past. They've created many websites about me, and I would give them news about me. I feel my fans now are happier than in the past."

This year is the 20th anniversary of Vivian entering the music industry. There was a report which said she would be having a "20th anniversary concert," but Vivian immediately denied this and said, "There's no such thing. I also found out about this news by looking at the newspapers." Vivian firmly said she wouldn't have a concert just to fulfill her own craving of singing, however, if it's for a very important event, she might consider it. At the same time, she revealed that there was currently an animal lovers' charity organization which found her to see if she would be able to help them. Right now she's thinking about how she could help, and one suggestion they had was for her to have a charity concert. She said she would definitely think it over clearly before making a decision.

Persistent in having a 2-person world and not having children; staying in HK during Chinese New Year
Vivian and Joe Ngai Jan have been in a relationship for 15 years and their relationship is stable, but they haven't thought about having children. Vivian said, "Actually I'm currently already a mother. I'm a mother of 1 dog and 4 cats. My boyfriend and I have already talked about it and we've decided not to have children." Vivian extremely loves her cat son Pal. She said when Pal was in Canada, she wouldn't travel for work for a long time period, because she would really miss him. She said, "He's just like my son."

Chinese New Year is coming soon. Vivian said, "I'll definitely be in HK during Chinese New Year. The atmosphere is good when being together with my family during Chinese New Year. The feeling is very good and very warm being together with my pets, my other half (Joe), and my good friends. When talking about her other half, Vivian had a happy expression on her face which really makes a person envious.
