2R's ABNORMAL BEAUTY (SEI MONG SEH JUNG) opens today. Race is on the edge of her psyche in the film. She dyes her hair red, goes crazy and says she wants to kill. Rosanne has to slap her out of it. To play the role well, Race cries for six hours. After the director yells cut she cannot stop. She says to keep crying is hard and she can only keep thinking about something unpleasant.

[Oriental Daily & The Sun 08/11/04]

Raymond Lam, Alex Fong (Lik Sun), 2R, Yumiko Cheng, Andy Hui, Carlo Ng and Sonija Kwok were among the more than twenty artistes taking part in yesterday's leg of the "Stepping up in Hong Kong" charity run at the Hong Kong International Finance Centre. Split into twelve teams along with the other contestants, a relay race was held up the 88 flights of stairs in the building, but after the strenuous run, Raymond suffered from fainting and nausea and had to receive treatment from the emergency teams.

TVB sent out a number of strong representatives for this event, but many of them turned out to be 'sickly soldiers'. Once the leader of the 'Six Olympic Stars', Raymond's performance was not on par as he ran against Rosanne, Yumiko and some other women for the 420m on a running machine. With a lot of hard work, he made it to the end of the course, but became faint and felt sick and with the help of the St John's Ambulance team had to wear an oxygen mask to recover before being taken to the medical centre for an examination. Whispers among the crowd were heard commenting: "Wah! What a weakling!"

Afterwards, Raymond said openly that as he has been filming, he has not done much exercise lately: "At first I thought that a few hundred metres would be okay, but after half way, I felt myself wheezing. Seeing that the girls beside me were still running, I had to keep going, but as soon as I finished, I felt really bad and I lost all feeling in my legs. I am very afraid of being called a weakling!" Raymond had his blood pressure checked in the medical room and found that he is lacking in red blood cells and was immediately sick. Luckily he recovered soon and was able to sign autographs for his fans, but he says that he will never do such exercise again without preparing for it.

Rosanne and Yumiko also did not feel very well, but were not as bad as Raymond and after a short lie down, they were fine. Coming in last, Rosanne said: "I used to run in the school team, but maybe as I am on my period and not eaten properly, then after about 15 minutes, I felt short of breath and had a short blackout. I am fine now after a little rest."

Leo Ku and Queenie Chu's team won the race, but Leo suffered cramp in his leg and had to receive treatment from the medics. Leo says: "I was going to use some explosive power and I ran as well as I could at the start, but after the run, I sat down and felt very uncomfortable." As for swimming athlete Alex and exercise enthusiast Carlo, they both managed to get through without any problems, even after running 32 flights of stairs, showing their great ability.

They are not that famous in HK, just ok. But I like their outlook, they look so beautiful and their songs are not bad.

[loongloong]

What I hear last time was they popped out bcuz of imitating Twins . I do agree on that but after a sometime, I find that they too have their own style.....

I agree also their singing needs more improvement, but heck they are still new and need more experience in improving their singing

[Priscilla x3]

news on 2R, scanned by me~

I always mixed up these 2 sisters.. I think I like Race more.. uh.. not sure if I got the correct one.. but is the one who looks chubbier.. I had actualli never watch their movies nor listen to their songs before.. therefore i don't really know how talent they are.. -.-"

When I first know them, man.. I think I was like hating them. Because it was due to Twins when I know them.. -.-" It's was like saying they are copying Twins or something. But think I finally get over it, cos i don't really think they are copy Twins, even if so.. it's what their company ask them to do, not them.. So I wold rather hate that company instead of them
But still, I'm not a fan of them.. I'm more of Twins fan.. but I think 2R wasn't that bad too..

Well.......i don't really like 2R...but not 2 say i hate them...it's juz bcoz i like twins so it automatically makes me feel like they r trying 2 compete with twins..

[Smilez]

They can't speak cantonese very well. Do they speak enlgish?

[AutumnTears]

their english is okay actually, it improved after shining friends. their cantonese improved a lot though. they don`t really sound much like they`re from singapore.

[forever_autumn]

(12/2/2004) Andy Hui Chi On, Stephanie Cheng Yun and 2R two nights ago attended a World AIDS Day event. A model grabbed Cheng Yung's hand and forced it toward a fake private part. She screamed, struggled and almost cried.

"I know one of the male models. If he didn't coome to say hi to me I wouldn't have recognized him. (When another model grabbed your hand you were scared.) Of course! (Did the model embarrass you?) No, it's pretty funny. Actually I can play, sometimes I get crazier. These charity fund raisers are pretty good and worthy of support."

2R brought their parents but their father was shy and pretended to look away when he saw the press. One model grabbed Rosanne for photos and she was embarrassed. She also declined to pose with condoms.

On Jai was late and when he learned that the models scared Cheng Yung and 2R, he jokingly buttoned up his jacket and clothing, pulled up his collar for a "safety hat". "The male models messed with the female guests, do they female models for the male guests!" ON Jai invited 20 friends to the event and paid for the HK$10,000 donation admission.

[The Sun & Oriental Daily 19/12/04]

The "Spread a Little Warmth and Love Campaign" by The Sun and Oriental Daily's charitable trusts held a special event yesterday where a number of stars headed out to 26 charitable organisations and senior citizen's centres to hand out special care packs containing nutritional foods and winter clothing to the needy. The stars joined with volunteers from seven organisations to take these presents out to the centres all over Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories and spent a happy morning with the 8000 recipients of the packs and sharing a little warmth in the community.

The stars taking part included Gigi Lai, Bowie Lam, Helena Law, Deep Ng, Karena Lam, Cutie Mui, Margie Tsang, Elvina Kong, Kenix Kwok, Ellis Tang, Cheung Wing Hong, 2R, Yan Ng and Irene Wang.

The event was officially started in the morning in the Oriental Publishing Group offices in Kowloon as the Trusts' chairmen presented the stars with souvenirs of the event and they were split into smaller groups to head out to each of the centres. Kenix, Irene and 2R were unable to attend the ceremony in the morning, but still turned up to show their support in the afternoon and had a great time.
Popular duo 2R had prepared a lot of items such as rice, toilet paper and washing powder to give to the elderly people who loved alone and when they found out that they were actually visiting low income families, their gifts were even more appreciated by the recipients.

[AYYL]

I'm still unhappy that TVB didn't ask 2R to come nack for HOF 2...What were they thinking??? THe new cast look hella ugly, and the reason why the series got popular in the first place is because of 2R. Don't you guys think so?

[gossip80]

ya maybe that was partly why this series got popular cause of Race

but i dont think it was all about her

i was kinda sadd how they didnt use the last cast tho cause grew to like them

now i have to learn to like the new cast again

hehe, don't worry, the old cast play a couple of cameos which are really cute

[forever_autumn]

(12/27/2004) 2R yesterday attended an idol impersonation contest. Race revealed that her impersonation ability was decent. "When I was four we went to Thailand to see the transvestite show. I was great at impersonating transvestites! I am the best at playing half male half female. I can be very professional. Earlier at Grandma's birthday I performed for her." Race said that she was rather good at pretending to be a turtle. "The most important is to squint and to pout and your whole face is being pulled." Rosanne revealed that they spent Christmas with their family in Singapore. "We had all kinds of food. When we come back we have to hit the gym. Mommy gave me a ring and a handbag to my sister. I gave "us" to Daddy and a necklace to Mommy."

[dragonx311]

[forever_autumn]

...i think deir cantonese is alright...at least u kno wat dey're sayin...

i agree.. i don't find that their Cantonese is that bad. i mean, I can understand Race in HOF. she's really cute there

[ichiro51]

which 1 is race n which is da other 1 (for got her name) '

Race is the girl w/ the "Red hair" in that photo above with her sister Roxanne on her right!

[forever_autumn]

2R is from Singapore but is still affected by the tsunami. "Our family lives in Singapore and hasn't been affected, but our hometown is near Malaysia and Thailand, on an island called Terranganu. Because it's very close to the ocean, every year it floods at the end of the year. This year has been especially severe. My cousin still lives there but luckily everyone is fine." 2R pointed out that every year the flood would enter the car and home and their father had to spend money to tow the car back home after the flood carried it away.

[Wasabi Mui]

I think their singing is okay. However, i like Rosanne more than Race, i think Rosanne is more prettier than Race. I think Race sometime overreact a bit whilst talking and stuff.

[bOba]

their singing is ok.. they were a bit.. =/ i dunno in Super Trio show.. lol like they dont understand wut is happening.. lol

[is2AhGiL1314]

Race was pretty guut in " abnormal beauty"... n rosanne was as well ^___^.... but if u h8 blood.. recommend not watch.... GOOO RACE ^___^!!!

[Spirals]

their singing is ok.. they were a bit.. =/ i dunno in Super Trio show.. lol like they dont understand wut is happening.. lol

Yeah, a bit because they're from like Malaysia, and even their cantonese isn't that great, they still speak it with a bit of an accent (which is why some people don't like them). Also, the trivia part often requires knowing quite a bit of chinese, or a lot about Hong Kong, hard for anyone not from Hong kong. Also the part with the This is so easy...naming stuff to a category, you have to know a variety of chinese phrases. And the worst is where one person has to describe the phrase, because those are almost all Cantonese slang, so 2R has almost no clue.

i coulnet tell them apart the first time i saw them... but i did after a while race looks better than Ro.....

i love race wong..so cute

[aznsnipa]

hmm.. out of so many singers.. why was 2R chosen out of them... does anyone know? just curious =D

At first, they didn't catch my attention. But later i heard their music and saw them on Super and then watch HOF. WOW..can't get enough of them!.

[fatso14]

omg i heard 2R speak madarin today on tv and its ten million times better den dere canto

[rita]

I think Race has a very whinny Cantonese voice and she isn't good at acting (as seen in Four Leafs), but her singing isn't too bad...

To me, Rosanne is prettier than Race, although Race has a cuter face.

[gossip80]

omg i heard 2R speak madarin today on tv and its ten million times better den dere canto

isn't that cause mandarin is their first language? but they're learning cantonese to expand into the hong kong market and it's not bad, it's definitely improving, but i think race's cantonese is better than rosanne's though, cause she has bigger/better roles in movies and series

i'd say they're cantonese is pretty good considering that they weren't raised in HK, and i think race is really cute, i thought the way she was talking in HOF was quite cute, i don't think it was whiny, i thought mun mun's speech at the beginning of HOF was really whiny but it was meant to sound like that.. can't get enough of race now after watching HOF

[xiaomei19]

if they speak Mandrain, why are they trying so hard to speak Canto.?? don't get it...i would like to hear their music in Mandrain!!

[gossip80]

if they speak Mandrain, why are they trying so hard to speak Canto.?? don't get it...i would like to hear their music in Mandrain!!

cause they probably think they have a better chance of succeeding in the hk market cause, no offense to any of their fans, with their looks, regardless of whether or not they have talent, they'd probably make it decently far

[kakashi327]

althoguh i don't really how they act.. is till like thier songs esp their song: ngor dey dic hub sing song ( our song) ...sounds good.. startin to listen to their songs now..
