Yesterday (3/29), Vivian Chow attended a press conference for a fitness and beauty club. During the event, she talked about her upcoming concert and said her costumes would be designed by Bruce Yu Ka On. As for whether or not she would wear the palace dress which created a stir many years ago, she said if everyone wants to see this dress, then she would agree to everyone's request and would wear a palace dress at her concert.

Yesterday, Vivian attended the "Dance Across Asia press conference" and announced that she signed a HK$1,000,000 (US$128,370) contract to be "Phillip Wain's Female Fitness and Beauty Club's 2006 New Image Ambassador for the Asia Region." But she denied replacing Charlie Yeung Choi Nei and Karen Mok Man Wai's position as the spokesperson for Phillip Wain, and emphasized that the company coordinated different advertising themes for each spokesperson.

Old palace dress already given away for a charity sale
Vivian said she learned how to do a Latin rhythm dance earlier in order to match with the advertisement. She was asked if she would be using these dance steps in her concert. She said, "I've talked about it with the instructor, but only as a joke. The dance teacher is currently planning the dances for the concert, but it won't be too intense." Reporters asked about her costumes for her concert. She said Bruce Yu Ka On would be designing the costumes, and she has also given some suggestions. As for whether or not she would be wearing her classic palace dress again, she said, "I haven't thought about it. If everyone requests that I wear it, then I might consider it. However, the palace dress from many years ago has already been given away for a charity sale. Even if I wear a palace dress, it wouldn't be the same dress from years ago."

Place more importance on her physique; body measurements are secondary
Vivian said the work she's doing as the spokesperson matches very well with the timing of her upcoming concert. She would be able to take advantage of doing more exercises to increase her lung capacity and to build up her muscles. She said, "Everyone thinks I'm a quiet and inactive person, but actually I have many sides to me, such as being active, funny, energetic, and taking the initiative to being passionate." When asked if her body measurements were better than before, Vivian said, "That's just secondary. The most important thing is to have better physical strength."

Since Vivian was the spokesperson for a female beauty and fitness club, does that mean her boyfriend Joe Ngai Jan wouldn't receive any benefits? Vivian laughed saying, "My boyfriend has always practiced body-building. Everyone doesn't need to worry."

Vivian Chow has always maintained a fit body shape. Recently, she was invited to be the new image ambassador for the Asia region for Phillip Wain fitness and beauty club. Yesterday (3/29), she attended a press conference and contract signing ceremony for Phillip Wain while wearing a shoulder revealing dress, but what attracted the most attention was Vivian revealing her long legs. This is the first time for Vivian to be the spokesperson for a fitness and beauty club. She will be the spokesperson for one year. She was asked if her salary was more than HK$1,000,000 (US$128,370). She laughed saying, "Of course. In short, I'm very satisfied!"

Earlier, this fitness club chose Karen Mok Man Wai and Charlie Yeung Choi Nei as their spokesperson. Does this mean she's replacing both of their positions? Vivian said, "I wouldn't say replacing. Each of us is responsible for a different theme. This time my theme is using Latin dance for fitness and beauty."

Vivian said she will be having a concert in May, so being able to dance to get into shape is really a good opportunity. Learning dance steps would also help her to have a better physique. She will be including some dance steps in her concert. The reporter said she already looks fit, but she still needs to change her body shape? She said she really wants to increase her lung capacity, and also wants to make her muscles more firm, so that she'll look healthier. She laughed saying, "I've always given people a feeling that I'm a quiet and inactive person, but I actually have an active, funny, energetic, and passionate side of me. Let me show you all of my different sides at my concert."

She was asked if she wanted her body measurements to be more fit. She laughed saying, "This is secondary. I think my body shape now is just right. I mainly want to improve my physical strength." Since she's the spokesperson, will her boyfriend be able to receive benefits, too? She said her boyfriend usually goes to the fitness club, so she doesn't think she'll need to worry about it for him. She was asked how her image will look at her concert. She said costume designer Bruce Yu Ka On is responsible for her costumes, but of course she will also give some suggestions. In the past, she's had many classic images. Would she appear again for her fans in some of these images, such as her palace dress years ago? Vivian said they're currently in the stage of having meetings, so she hasn't thought about wearing a palace dress, but if many people request to see this dress, then she might consider it. She felt that it's already been so many years since she's worn that dress. If she wore the dress again, then the dress would have a different feel to it. The dress she wore years ago was already given away for a charity sale.

Vivian transforming into a woman with muscles


Recently, Vivian has been busy working nonstop getting ready for her May concert.

 

Yesterday, Vivian Chow appeared at a restaurant in IFC in Central wearing an LV dress and attending the "2006 New Image Ambassador for the Asia Region" press conference for Phillip Wain. The event also premiered Vivian's TV commercial which was filmed earlier. Vivian signed the contract to be Phillip Wain's spokesperson and was given a huge some of money as her salary. She laughed saying that although her jade girl image has made a deep impression on everyone's mind, she actually has an energetic side to her. She also said that with Phillip Wain sponsoring her dance fitness class, she's able to work on increasing her lung capacity for her May concert. She's working hard to promote herself, and is really doing her part.

Palace dress will reappear
When Vivian was asked if she wasn't satisfied with her own body shape, she said, "Actually if I was a little more firm, it would be better. I'd like to try seeing what I'd look like with some muscles." She also said she's been very busy recently preparing for her upcoming concert. When she was asked if she would consider appearing in her classic palace dress, she said, "I haven't thought about this yet, but I'm also very nervous about my own image. It's possible that if there's many people who are requesting to see this image, then I could consider it."

Vivian would rather do dance fitness to prepare for her concert; Vivian might consider wearing palace dress at her concert


Yesterday, Vivian wore a low-cut dress to the event. She looked classy and sexy, looking very bright before one's eyes!

Vivian Chow was crowned with the title of "Jade Girl Master." She shook up the music industry when she wore the tight palace dress years ago. She will be performing once again at the HK Coliseum this May. She said she hasn't thought about wearing the palace dress again, but she might make an exception if many people make this request. It's not known yet if she would be disappointing her male fans.

Yesterday, Vivian wore a low-cut, back revealing dress together with an LV shawl. She looked glamorous as she appeared for a fitness and beauty club event and signed a contract to be the "2006 New Image Ambassador for the Asia Region." The event also premiered Vivian's TV commercial. In the commercial, Vivian performed some Latin dance steps, which had a very fresh feel!

Vivian revealed she signed a contract for 1 year with the fitness and beauty club. She will be earning a 7-figure salary, and will also be sponsored for getting into shape. She said, "It's just by chance that I'll be having my concert towards the end of May, so it's perfect timing to sign a contract with them, and will allow me to go to the fitness and beauty club to do exercises which help increase my lung capacity and help me get in shape. I want everyone to see me in my optimum state at the concert!" Vivian was also aware that most people always thought of her as being quiet and not very active, but actually she's active and energetic, funny, and also takes the initiative in being passionate. It's no wonder that she highly praised the TV commercial for being able to display the active side of her.

Personally commented her body measurements are just right
As for her concert this time, would she be incorporating any of the dance fitness steps she learned? Vivian said she could think about it. Her concert image is still in the planning stages. It's still not known yet if a lot of her classic images would be brought on stage. But will the palace dress be fortunate enough to appear on stage again? Vivian laughed saying, "I haven't thought of it! It's been so many years already that it should be changed to another style, but if there's many people who are requesting to see this, then I might think about it. However, it won't be the same dress as last time, because that dress was already given away for a charity sale!"

Vivian said having better body measurements is just secondary when it comes to getting into shape, and said what's most important is to be healthy. She also said her measurements are just right. She even revealed that her boyfriend was always into staying in shape, so he wouldn't need to worry about problems with his body shape. As for whether or not she's replacing Karen Mok Man Wai as the spokesperson for this fitness club, Vivian said, "I don't know. I don't think I'm replacing her. I'm leading the dance trend!"

Vivian secretly planning to reveal some skin at her concert

Vivian Chow is known as the "Jade Girl Master." On an ordinary day, Vivian wouldn't wear sexy clothes, but when she has to attend a formal event, she'll have a dramatic change. Besides making herself look better, she would also sometimes change from being a "jade girl" to "meat girl (showing more skin)," giving people a big surprise.

Vivian will be turning 39 years old this year. She looks very fit for her age and is still beautiful with a good body shape, because she was naturally born with good looks, plus she takes good care of her skin and often exercises and plays pool. Even though Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Charlie Yeung Choi Nei, and Kelly Chen Wai Lam were named as the "jade girl" successors, Vivian's "senior" jade girl status is firm. Vivian is still the dream lover of many men. Years ago, Vivian wore the tight palace dress for her MV while revealing half of her chest, which is still impressive today.

HK$1,000,000 salary for being spokesperson
Yesterday (3/29), Vivian Chow attended a beauty and fitness club's "Dance Across Asia" press conference as their "2006 New Image Ambassador for the Asia Region" and attracted 50 reporters to the event. Vivian wore a low-cut copper colored dress together with an LV shawl. She looked classy and sexy, and even showed her smooth white shoulders, beautiful legs and back, looking very attractive. Vivian will be having a charity concert show on May 25th and 26th. Is she trying to give everyone a small taste of what's to come with her sexy appearance yesterday?

The fitness and beauty club's new TV ad was aired at the press conference. In the ad, Vivian looked very energetic. She said, "This ad was mainly showing an active side of me. I won't dance a very vigorous type of dance, since it's not my style." Vivian revealed her salary for being the spokesperson for the fitness center was HK$1,000,000 (US$128,370) . It's no wonder she smiled saying, "The timing for this was very good, because I will soon be having my concert, and I hope everyone sees me in my optimum state."

Thinking about wearing palace dress again
Vivian was asked if there was any part of her body which still needed to be changed. She said, "I need to work on increasing my lung capacity, and I also want my muscles to be a little more firm." The reporter asked Vivian, "Do you want your body measurements to be better?" Vivian said, "This is just secondary. My measurements are just right. The most important is to stay healthy." As for whether or not she would be wearing the palace dress at her concert, she said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but if a lot of people request for this, then I might consider it. The palace dress I wore years ago was already given away for a charity sale."

Today (3/29), one of the Hong Kong female fitness and beauty clubs announced that Vivian Chow would be their 2006 image ambassador for the Asia region.

Usually, Vivian is dressed like the girl-next-door. This is the first time for her to be a spokesperson for a fitness and beauty club. Vivian said she always liked accepting new things. She's a person who would try new things. Actually, she has an active side to her, and she often dances, because dancing not only helps her maintain her good body shape, it also allows her body and mind to relax and to be free.

Vivian learned "the true, the good, and the beautiful" on her trip to Laos;
Vivian sponsored 3 children in Laos and experienced 'motherly love'

Last week (5/7-5/10), Vivian Chow went together with Hong Kong World Vision and a film crew to Laos in order to let the Hong Kong people know about the situation of the impoverished children in Laos. This is the first time Vivian has followed an international developement and support organization to go to a developing country for a visit. She also showed her love and immediately participated in the 'Child Sponsorship Program,' and became the 'mother' of 3 local children.

Feeling very touched when visiting her sponsored daughter
Vivian sponsored two girls and one boy. One of the children was 10-year-old Mai. She was born with a left eyelid which was larger than normal infants. When she was 7 years old, her eyelid became swollen and had covered her entire left eye. What's even more unfortunate is that when Mai was 5 years old, there was an accident which caused her right leg to grow crooked, making it difficult for her to walk, but since her family lived in poverty, her father wasn't able to seek medical treatment for her. When Vivian visited Mai, Vivian became very touched after she played together with her and said, "Even though Mai has to face enormous difficulties in life, she doesn't look sad. On the contrary, she's a very carefree, brave, and optimistic girl. Just now when I played hopscotch with her, I didn't think she would be even better than me! I'm most touched by seeing how all the kids in the village really care about her. They wouldn't mind about her different appearance, and would instead welcome her to play with them!" Vivian also hopes she can quickly help Mai accomplish her goal of going to school.

Unforgettable experience to love one another and love yourself
Another child which Vivian sponsored is Boala, who is 9 years old. Boala lost her mother since childhood. With World Vision's help, Boala was able to go to school. Vivian visited Boala at her school, and Vivian wrote on the blackboard (in Chinese), "I am Vivian. How are you?" Vivian seized the time she had together with her sponsored child, and they also exchanged portrait drawings with each other. Vivian and Boala only spent one hour together with each other, but before leaving, Boala hugged Vivian tightly, which let Vivian feel the love and really made her not want to leave. As for Vivian's only sponsored son, Salavath, he's energetic and cute and is only 3 years old. He was abandoned by his divorced parents and is now living together with his grandmother (mother's side). Vivian described the trip to Laos as an unforgettable experience. She said, "This trip has made me feel the importance of loving one another and loving yourself, and how good interaction was created by the love between people. I was even able to feel the true, the good, and the beautiful which has been lost in the civilized society!"

Vivian visits Laos and sponsors 3 children


Vivian visited the impoverished children in Laos. She learned about the importance of loving one another and loving yourself.

 

Last week, Vivian Chow went to Laos to visit the impoverished children and was able to see their difficult life first-hand, making her feel very sad. She immediately participated in the 'Child Sponsorship Program,' and became a 'mother' of three children.

Even though ten-year-old daughter Mai's left eyelid became swollen and her right leg grew crooked because of an accident, she's still carefree and optimistic. Vivian said, "What really touched me is how the other children wouldn't mind about her different appearance, and would instead welcome her to play with them." Nine-year-old daughter Boala lost her mother since childhood. Vivian went to Boala's school to visit her and taught her to say in Cantonese, "I am Vivian. How are you?" They also exchanged portrait drawings with each other. When they were saying good-bye, both of them were tightly hugging each other and didn't want to separate. As for the young son Salavath, who's 3 years old, Vivian played with balloons with him, and he was happy for half the day.

Vivian visits Laos and becomes a mother


After seeing how the local children lived a difficult life, Vivian immediately sponsored 3 children.

 

Earlier, Vivian Chow went together with Hong Kong World Vision for a charity visit to Laos. She saw with her own eyes the difficult life that the local impoverished children lived, and she immediately participated in the 'Child Sponsorship Program' and became a mother of 2 girls and 1 boy. Vivian's oldest daughter is 10-year-old Mai. Even though Mai couldn't see anything with her left eye and had difficulty walking, she was still carefree and optimistic about facing life, and she also had many good friends. After Vivian knew more about Mai, she was very touched and hoped she could quickly help Mai accomplish her goal of going to school.

Afterwards, Vivian went to a school to visit her second daughter Boala. Vivian wrote on the blackboard (in Chinese), "I am Vivian. How are you?" She then taught Boala and all the other children how to pronounce the words on the blackboard in Cantonese. She and Boala also exchanged portrait drawings of each other. After Vivian knew her daughter gave her a high score for her drawing, she was very happy. When it was time to leave, Boala hugged Vivian tightly and didn't want to let go. Finally, Vivian spent some time visiting her 3-year-old son.

Boala, who's 9 years old, lost her mother since childhood and has to take care of her younger sister by herself. Salavath, who's 3 years old, was abandoned by his parents. Vivian said the most touching thing was seeing how Mai didn't look sad because of her handicap, but instead was carefree. Although Vivian only spent one hour together with Boala, when it was time for Vivian to leave, Boala hugged her and wouldn't let go. This really made Vivian not want to leave.

Earlier, Vivian Chow followed World Vision to Laos to visit the impoverished children. This trip has allowed her to become a mother, because she sponsored 2 girls and 1 boy and also spent some time together with them, developing her motherly love. When it was time for Vivian to leave, the 3 children didn't want to see her go, which let her feel the importance of loving one another and loving yourself.

Vivian has always been known to love animals, and to also love children very much. Earlier, Vivian followed World Vision to visit Laos for 4 days. Laos is located in Southeast Asia and is one of the poorest countries in the world. Vivian saw many children living a difficult life and immediately sponsored 3 local children.

Sponsored daughter very unfortunate
One of Vivian's sponsored children is ten-year-old Mai. Mai's left eyelid is larger than an ordinary person's eyelid. When Mai was 7 years old, her eyelid became swollen and had covered her entire left eye. What's even more unfortunate is that when Mai was 5 years old, there was an accident which caused her right leg to grow crooked, but her family lived in poverty and didn't have the money to get medical treatment for her. Vivian said, "Mai is a very carefree, brave, and optimistic girl. She didn't look sad about her own misfortune. I'm most touched by seeing how all the kids in the village really cared about her. They wouldn't mind about her different appearance, and would instead welcome her to play with them." Vivian said she really wants to quickly help Mai accomplish her goal of going to school.

Another girl which Vivian sponsored is 9-year-old Boala. Boala lost her mother since childhood. Boala has to take care of two younger sisters at home. Later, she studied at the school which was set up by World Vision. Vivian went to the school to visit her. Vivian wrote on the blackboard (in Chinese), "I am Vivian. How are you?" She taught the students how to pronounce the words in Cantonese. Vivian also spent one hour together with Boala. When it was time for them to leave, both of them weren't willing to separate, and Boala was hugging Vivian tightly, which made Vivian feel the world's warmth.

Playing with balloons with her 3-year-old son
Vivian also has a 3-year-old son Salavath. After his parents separated, they abandoned him, so now he's living together with his grandmother (mother's side). Vivian said, "I played with balloons with him, and he would be happy for the whole day already. The trip this time has made me feel the importance of loving one another and loving yourself. The deepest impression Laos gave me was the good interaction created by the love between people, and 'the true, the good and the beautiful' which has been lost in the civilized society."
