^Jessie's blog said that Tavia may or may not attend according to the votes. So I guess she won't go if she doesn't win anything? I've read somewhere before that Tavia was in the top 12 for Favorite Characters and 3rd place for Favorite Bizarre Character so it does look like she could only win the first category at most.

So it isn't confirmed that Tavia is coming and that she will win anything? Anyhow, I'm surprised if she won't get any award because although she is not much promoted by Astro just like she is in TVB, I thought Malaysian people like her. At least, from my circle of friends, they either like her and quite like her. It irks me that majority of the Top 3 Best Actress belong to my hate/dislike list.
It's still a wonder to me why everytime it's an online poll, Tavia will lead the poll but when it's a poll hosted by TVB and Astro, she can't seem to win.
Chandra, thanks for the Stevia pics. They look very cute together. I wish there are more romantic and sweet scenes of them after they get together because we simply don't have enough of them in SITS.

I just finished wathcing the ending to "Sweetness in the Salt" yesterday and I can't believe Stevia didn't end up together (well as I wanted to) again. I thoguth after the ending to Stevia's ending in "Land of Wealth," maybe TVB will make an ending that Stevia fans will ike in "Sweetness in the Salt," but they didn't. I was disappointed at the ending a bit. When I saw them getting married, I was so overjoyed, but for some reason in my heart there was a feeling that they won't end up together and when I watched the ending, I was like that feeling in my heart was right, they didn't end up together. But at least, in the very end, they got to see each other and we all knew even though they weren't together, we knew they loved each other very much. I don't blame Steven for telling Tavia the truth (I was actually glad that he told her, even though if it meant they might separate. As Steven said, if Tavia found out the truth about her parents' death, she might hate him even more). But at least we have another series to look forward to seeing them together. We have seen two ancient Stevia series, now I'm just looking forward to seeing a modern series "The Stars of Love." Hopefully in "The Stars of Love" Stevia will have a happy ending together.

I know that Tavia has many disappointing endings. But, I think that even though she usually never ends up with the one she loves....she always have GREAT men loving her throughout the show. The men are always willing to do anything (even die) for her and I find that a very great comfort. So, I figured even if she doesn't end up with the guys but she knows that they loved her dearly.

FantasyMania, I thought Tavia and Raymond (Lam) are only paired up in two series, i.e. GF and TOB? What is the third ancient series? I don't think FTF counts right since it was just a joke and they never had feelings for each other in FTF.
lil jojo, what you said does make sense although I never put much hope in Astro award since they seem even more rigged than TVB awards who still have pressure from the media criticism. In Malaysia, the media didn't do critical analysis or much make noise on the award, so it gives them more room to do whatever they want with the awards. The nomination list is already unfair.

akazukin - in my mind Raymond sort of like her because he did like her at the start because he calls her wife, but yes it was just one sided and until Selena came in the picture.
Astro are the same as TVB awards IMO.

sandalls - Thanks for the Valentine clip! It's great that Tavia took part in this clip!
Steven and Tavia were at Disneyland for an on location shooting for their new series, Stars of Love. The script depicts Mazai’s whole day search for Tavia in Disneyland before finally finding her. As such, he was all over the place for the on site scene shooting. Between shootings, the two took time to enjoy the carousel rides; taking turns riding the spinning horse and the Xiu Fei Cheong (Flying Dumbo). They even grabbed hold of Donald Duck and Buzz Lightyear for picture taking
Likewise, Mazai was similarly grabbed by tourists of different nationalities for picture taking and signing of autographs. Ma Zai revealed that this was his first time visiting Disneyland. “Feel like I haven’t been this happy for a long time. The biggest gain is the re-discovery of a child's joy inside me.” MaZai quipped that carousel has added another horse (Ma) called Mickey Old Horse.
It sounds romantic that Steven was searching for Tavia from morning til night in Disneyland before finally finding her. I like Tavia's hair being tied up back like this in the pic better than her usual untied short hair. I'm really looking forward to SOL.
It's great to know that they have a great time enjoying the rides in between the shootings. They do look great together. The tourists are so lucky to have gone to Disneyland on the same day as Stevia and have the privilege to ask to take pics and autographs from them. Wished I was there too.
hi guys, i was wondering... about the tvb blog thingy... what's the list on the right side of the first page that we r supposed to visit means? there's like two columns on the right... and one of them is like the top 10 and i was wondering what was the other column for... anyway... can ppl who are nt hkgers vote in the next award?

I wonder whether the story is Stevia searching for each other from morning to night because if the story is only about Steven searching for her from morning to night and finding her finally, Tavia won't need to be in Disneyland for the whole day, unless she has other scenes to film there as well. I hope more pics will be coming up.

Stevia filmed their final scene @ HK Disneyland, that means Tavia will get a few days rest before they start filming PS.

Wow, Tavia took the elephant ride. I wonder if she was scared during the elephant ride like the ride she took during HOG filming with Bosco. At that time, she was clutching onto Bosco's thigh because she is too scared. I wonder whether Steven became her victim this time.

In some of the news reports, they did mention that the disney scenes were the wrapping up scenes for SOL. Doesn't mean those scenes are the closing scenes in the series.

Sorry to confuse everyone, when I said 'final scenes @ HK Disneyland' I meant the last scenes they have to film for SOL, as in the wrap scenes like tamaya said.
If the scenes in Disneyland were the final scenes for the ending, then I'd be disappointed, that means it might end with them finding each other in Disneyland, probably just standing across from each other and smile, that's the end. **This is only a guess**

Hmm......The directors don't film series in order, right? Like they could have gone straight to the love scenes, and then some other day, they film the introduction. That is a possibility. Please, I just don't want another bad ending for Stevia. Make it a satisfying one although its really rare in TVB right now. Its always too rushed.
And after SOL is done filming, Tavia will have to start filming PS. I hope this isn't too tiring for Tavia. You know she can easily get sick......(with Raymond) Sorry, I just had to add that in.

Yes, most of Tavia's ending are usually unhappy. But, thinking back to all the series she's been in she has always been loved by wonderful men. They would do anything (even die) for her and I think that is a little comforting.
LOW = Steven loved her till the end (even after she married). He was a scholar and goverment official with both looks and skills....a great catch in anyone's eye. Moses even though I didn't think they had much chemistry and the storyline was a little rushed, he did love her after marriage and stayed unmarried after she died.
TOB = Kau Chong loved her very much, time and time again he was willing to sacrifice his life for her and he was a very strong and successful man.
SITS = Need I say more, she had not one but two, intelligent and good of heart, men loving her unconditionally.
The Prince's Shadow = She had the King (though he was sleazy) and Adam (too old) but they both loved her and Adam was highly intelligent and cultured.
Vigilant of the Mask = Derek loved her very much in the show and so did her evil husband....yes he was evil but he was willing to do anything for her as well.
I'm not going to name all her series...but you get my point. I think that a happy ending would have been great but I think just knowing the fact that such wonderful men loved her in the show is a little comforting to me. So, cheer up guys....at least our Tavy has so many great and noble men loving her in the series.

Thank You for the welcome. I've been a member for quite awhile already, however, never posted until now. Finished watching SITS and at the beginning I was very disappointed in the ending but after thinking and rewatching (all the time) the series I realized that both men loved her so much. I think anyone would be lucky to ones lifetime to have 1 man love her the way they did.
The only disappointment I have is that the show was not broadcasted in HK. Because, I think this show could have had great ratings and the series showcases all the actors skills. I loved this show so much that I actually went and bought the DVD (good copy) from the store.

LOL, Tavia and her babies. I think she has portrayed a pregnant woman the most frequently as compared to other actresses in her generation.
nlum919, I agree with what you said that at least we get to enjoy watching Tavia being deeply loved by (great) guys. Love how the guys love her in LOW and SITS. But I don't think she is that much loved in TPS. In VITM, Deric's character still goes after her even though she has married Eddie Kwan's character.
SITS ending is not satisfying enough but at least it's a step forward from LOW clearly unhappy ending for Stevia. Hopefully, SOL ending will be better than SITS.
I can't wait for PS costume trying ceremony which is only two days more.
Thanks tamaya for the news and magazine scan of SOL. But if I read correctly (from the chinese you put under spoiler tag), it didn't say that SOL is to 'compensate' Stevia's last 2 tragic ending, but merely said that SOL is especially designed for Stevia's fans right? Or is there another sentence that said about it going to compensate Stevia's last 2 tragic ending? Anyway, I certainly hope that SOL will have a perfect happy ending for Stevia.
It is a radio version and it's not very clear. Someone is also talking in the introduction and the ending. He actually says that Tavia's singing is quite good and Ms. Lok should give more chance to her. LOL. I really hope there is a clear version of it.

The last scene was done at HK Disneyland giving the series a beautiful ending. If you want to know the ending, you must watch it when it is aired, you will be surprised! Next, I will be starting the new ancient drama. The character I play is powerful and noble and has done all sorts of evil deeds in order to survive in the palace.

No, no, no! Fireworks at the background reminds me me too much of Perish in the name of love, where they apparently perish.
No, for Stevia, I'll go with the tried & true. They find each, lock eyes, run and fall into each other's arms, embraced tightly and lock lips, passionately, of course. The end! There, that's what I call a satisfying ending with lots of
My guess on the Disneyland scene. I bet Steven is searching desperately for Tavia to comfort her, because she was pretty upset from her breakup with that no good bf of hers (the one before Michael). So after a whole day of searching, he finally finds her. And to lift her spirit up, they ride the carousel and flying dumbos and flying cups, and of course, had the most wonderful night in Disneyland.

"Letter to my Valentines
Dear FANS, Happy Valentine's Day! I wish all the couples a warm and sweet Valentine's Day, and happiness to everyone! SOL has just finished filming, I had a wonderful time filming this series, and had a lot of fun working with everyone in this series. The last scene was filmed at HK Disneyland, making a beautilful ending for this series. If everyone wants to know what the ending is, remember to watch out for it then. I guarantee everyone will have an unexpected surprise. Coming up I'll be starting a new project, filming of 'The Realm of Conscience' will start soon, my new character is not only elegant, but also domineering at the same time. My character will be one who will do anything to survive in the palace. This is the first time I will be portraying an antagonist in the 10 years that I have been in this industry. I'm excited, yet feel a bit of pressure at the same time. Everyone keep your eyes open for me!"
This is how I would translate the Tavia's Valentine's day message.
I certainly hope what pegster predicted about SOL ending does not come true. Come on, I want something more. Don't we have enough of that short ending in SITS? Tamaya's ending sounds better with them hugging and kissing but I want something more. Like their life after they get together, please, please, please... What does she mean by we will be surprised with the ending? I hope it doesn't mean that the ending will be weird.
From what Tavia said, it seems that the Disneyland scene is the ending though.
Anyway, looking forward to PS. I have faith in her for doing well for her villain role. So far her role in PS sound interesting. So nice of Tavia to leave a message.
