News 04/06/07 - Riding a horse for "Hooked on You"
Miriam's first movie since joined Media Asia Company - "Hooked on You" will be showing on 28th June, competing with the other summer blockbusters "Shrek 3" and Live Free or Die Hard". Miriam definitely pays attention to this romance comedy and believes it'll attract audience.
Miriam is playing the role of a fish seller and couple with Eason Chan. The two good friends often chatted and laughed when they had free time during filming. The playful Eason had endless energy and was singing and playing pingpong with Miriam and Feng Cuifan. The atmosphere was always lively when he's around.
Miriam couldn't forget when she filmed a scene where she had to ride the horse, "The scene was about me wanting to date a rich guy Raymond Wong, so I had to learn riding a horse. On the day of the shoot, the horse was feeling horny and would not let me ride on him. He just kept staring at the female horse in the opposite stable and even had physical reaction. I didn't want to separate them and eventually changed another horse!"
Miriam continued, "Actually I'm a bit scared that I'll fall off the horse. Therefore I was extra careful during filming. I'll communicate with the horse before I ride on it."

Miriam and Eason had a change from their usual image in the movie "Hooked on You" under the director Law Wing-Cheong. "I was worried at first that Miriam cannot meet the requirements of the character, but there was a crying scene. She couldn't stop crying after we stopped rolling the camera. No one dared to disturb her. I know she put in a lot of effort in playing the role. As for Eason, he specially went to the street market to observe how the market vendors behave. His 'street-man romantic-ness' and Miriam's tears helped the movie a lot. They are the producer's and my top choices."
Eason had a scene of driving the speedboat. He was excited because he thought he was able to drive it, but ended up he only had to sit at the backseat and pretend he's driving. He hope to learn how to drive a boat so that he can bring his family out to the sea. Miriam supports him and hope they can go out to sea someday.
Having to work with Eason again, Miriam said both of them have grown up, but Eason is still as playful, "It's really happy filming with Eason. He kept telling jokes on the set, but both of us nearly angered the director till death!"
--------------------------------------------------
I can't wait until the movie releases! So happy to see Miriam and Eason collaborate! It has truly been awhile since they filmed together!

News 12/06/07 - Not intending to sell her house yet / Ate 8 cakes at one go for "Hooked on You"
Miriam bought her house at Stanley during SARS period for 30-40 million dollars. Property rates are increasing recently and Miriam asked the reporters, "So high? I didn't check the price because my house is bought for staying. Sometimes property agents called to ask if I want to sell my house and I told them I'm staying in it." Miriam felt comfort as a consumer to hear the house price is good.
When Miriam decided to buy this house during the SARS period, many people said that she's stupid. Now a lot of people said she has made a fortune. Even though the price of properties is high, Miriam finds many of her neighbours did not move and kept on staying.
Miriam will not sell the house just because the value is high as her parents are happy staying there. Previously Miriam felt the venue was too far and inacessible but her parents were ok with it. Miriam had tried moving out but she was unhappy and did not feel at ease. Therefore she moved back to stay with her family. Some suggested her to buy another house. She said she not greedy and it's ok when she has a place to stay. Moving house is troublesome for her.
Buying another house as investment? She felt investing is very pressurising and she rather invest on herself. She's not a risk taker. When asked if she owns more than one property, Miriam admitted she plays a bit but not as many as what the magazines say. Miriam is often being photographed visiting showflats. She replied that she always like to look at cars and houses, and is very curious at people's renovations. But she just like to see, and did not buy. When asked if she has any plans to change a house, Miriam said it will be more practical to depend if she will get married. For now she's living happily and has no intentions of changing.
Recently when Miriam was asked why she didn't go on the variety show "Beautiful Cooking" and she replied she didn't know how to play with fire and act as if she can't cook. It was said that she was making fun of Kary Ng. Kary was on a radio interview yesterday and responded. She didn't have experience in kitchens since young and really didn't know how to cook. She believe Miriam didn't mean to tease her. When asked if she has asked Miriam to teach her a few dishes, Kary replied it's a good idea too.
When Eason Chan and Miriam were filming a cake eating scene for "Hooked on You" in the morning, the 2 were eating seriously but until re-take for the 5th time, they began to surrender.
Miriam said, "should really thank the director, because ever since I entered showbiz, I've never eat so many cakes at one go in order to keep fit. I've ate 8 cakes in 5 takes. I really couldn't go on!" Eason asked the director how many more boxes of cakes there were and the director replied 30. Eason choked with a piece of cake still in his throat and his assistant quickly brought him hot tea. Miriam laughed out, "30 boxes, spare me!"

There are rumors recently that Sammi Cheng will be leaving East Asia and going to Music Nation. Miriam responded, "I don't believe. Adults doing business and own future will not be affected by others. Over these 10 years, words are written by media themselves, I won't feel unhappy nor persistent. There's another rumor of Eason Chan joining East Asia. Miriam said she had not ask Eason about it even though they are good friends. She felt there are 2 things that shouldn't be asked between friends, one is personal matters, the other is career. She believe he will decide for his own future.

Miriam attended "Father's Day - Daddy Shops Too" event yesterday. Today is Father's Day and Miriam has to work, attending promotion event with Eason Chan for their new movie. Miriam wishes Eason a happy Father's Day and hope he can have one more son.
Miriam is always very filial. Although she has to work today, she'll still have dinner with her father to celebrate. Miriam knew from her mother that her father is planning to change a car, but she thinks he won't be greedy and want her to spend so much money for a present.
Miriam's work schedule for the year has already been packed and she doesn't even have enough time to spend with her family. When asked if her parents have pestered her about marriage, she replied, "They know that I'm working hard for my career right now so they have changed target to my sister, she's dating now!" Marriage to her is an important thing in life. To find someone who can accomodate to her is not easy. "Once entering the showbiz it's as deep as the sea. It's not that easy to get away."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Miriam looks so much like her mother!!! Their facial expressions are similar and both their eyes, eyebrows, nose, and the shape of their heads are very identical! (:

Miriam Awarded the Title of "Honorary Fellow"
After Miriam became 2005's "Hong Kong Outstanding Youth", she was awarded the title of "Honorary Fellow" by Hong Kong Polytechnic University's Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, to commenmorate her achievements and contributions to the society.
The ceremony started in the morning at 10am and East Asia's boss Lin Jianyue attended too with a bouquet of flowers. Other than him, Miriam's parents, godmother and good friends were present as well. Miriam was a registered nurse at Princess Margaret Hospital. Polytechnic University appointed Miriam as "Institute ambassador" to help the university promote health and medical messages to the public.
Miriam was nervous and almost teared when receiving the certificate and giving her speech. She expressed that after receiving the certificate, she will never be lazy and will work hard in promoting social services.
When asked if Miriam wish to be a "World Outstanding Youth" next, she replied that she has never thought so and she won't give herself pressure. She hopes to have a chance to study Chinese medicine and best to have distant learning through internet so that she can have the flexibility of time to study slowly. She said that Chinese medicine helped her a lot in recuperation and can cure dropsy.
She feels that if she had continued to be a nurse, she would have already got married and gave birth. But for her life now, she described, "Life now is a bit uninhibited and not affected by over-detailed formalities."

Miriam was the guest for "Nokia 903 Music Talkie Concert".
Miriam was the guest for "Nokia 903 Music Talkie Concert". Other singers include Hins Cheung, Ivana Wong, Khalil Fong, Louis Cheung. Miriam wore a singlet, sang and danced, bending down often. But she said she will not get exposed, "For my figure, it's fortunate to be exposed."
Miriam is happy to cooperate with the young generation of composer-singers, "They have heart and quality, worth to learn from them. They are good friends from the heart and it's hard to find true friendship in showbiz nowadays." Can she find good friends? "Last time in Capital Artists, it was happy to sing with Eason Chan and Edmond Leung. In showbiz there's competition, in reality as well. I've see things through." Will look for Ronald Cheng to cooperate? "We still have friendship but not much chances of working together."
Miriam and Eason has a scene in "Hooked on You" where they have to survey the supermarket to fight for business. Miriam would run around and suddenly turn to call her friend. However, she suddenly shouted, "Big trouble", because she had sprained her neck. Eason teased her, "Is it really so big trouble?" Miriam was in pain, "I sprain my neck easily! When I was filming action scenes in China, I had injuries all over my body and there was no cure. I only had to keep doing physical therapy."

Miriam and director Law Wing Cheong attended "Hooked on You" press conference in Zhengzhou and spared 20 minutes to accept an exclusive interview with Da He Bao. Miriam initiated to let the director speak in Cantonese while she translate to the reporter. "This way you can interview more within the short time."
33-years-old Miriam is playing a character from 27 to 37 years old in "Hooked on You". "It's easy and also hard. Easy is my age is within that range, I have the feelings. If I didn't enter the showbiz, I would have been a mother now and continued being a nurse. After entering showbiz, my thinking is different. The director wanted me to portray the character with homor and sadness at the same time because it's a single woman striving in Hong Kong. After fully emerged in the role, I found that using my eyes to act is more difficult than using words."
The director also "ordered" Miriam to change her emotions naturally, "20+ years of age needed to be energetic, strong in character, and stiff in expressions. 30+ years of age there will be a big change and the character has more dynamics. Example, there are many ways of crying. The director let me tried a new look, new thinking. It's a breakthrough and I achieved a lot."
Miriam broke off with her boyfriend outside the entertainment circle because relationship "hindered" her work, "I'm a workaholic. In the movie, the love that came late is very similar to myself. It's not that there are so many good men that I don't know how to choose, I'm not that lucky. But everytime the ending (breakup) was chosen by me. Work is in first place. To reject dates because of work is very normal to me. I chosed to be a power woman and not a small woman. After 30 years old, I feel out of love can be a kind of happiness too, it's better than nothing happened. When love matures, she'll get married and give birth, giving up her career is not impossible."
Miriam thinks that producer Johinnie To is a serious and sturn director. "Director To's temper is hot. Director Law is my director for this film. He's not fierce so I'm not scared. But Director Law had to face Johnnie To alone after work, and I don't need! Law Wing Cheong followed Johnnie To since 1990 and they filmed 20 over films together. I cooperated with Director To a few times and I admire the techniques he used in comedies. He's born with the ability to know which actor suits what kind of character." Law Wing Cheong also expressed this is the reason why he had found Miriam, Eason Chan and Richie Ren to shoot comedies.
"Hooked on You" placed it's characters' relationship over the background of Hong Kong Handover 10th Anniversary. Miriam said she could understand how the director designed in such a way, "The film has metaphorical meanings but it's not talking about Handover specifically. A person(Ah Miu) has walked all over Hong Kong for 10 years, what the camera tells audience is so memorable that words are not needed." In the film, Ah Miu and Fish Guy's relationship drifted along with scenes of invension of SARS, contruction of Disney, demolition of Star Ferry... Perfectly combining entertainment value with changing of time. "The result is much better by showing with a couple's love story."
Neighbourhood marketplace is used as the main setting. Miriam said, "It's more or less the same as most marketplaces in Hong Kong, so there's a sense of reality. Modern people has too much stress at work. There are many characters and matters in the film and a marketplace makes it more light-hearted and comedic. The art department is quite powerful. They proped up an abandoned market with stocks and the residents nearby came over to buy stuff and even threw them temper: 'Why don't you sell to me? I have money!'"
China actor Huang Bo was selected to act in the film because the director thought he has a comedic feeling all over him. Another reason is because "2 Become 1"'s boxoffice in China wasn't as good as Hong Kong, so he hope to make a change.
There are more bad quality and copycat products that caused a decline in the Hong Kong film industry. This film in invested HK$16,000,000 by Media Asia and is produced by Johnnie To's Milkyway Image, to ensure the brand's quality and commercial draw. Miriam said sincerely, "Mainland market is getting stronger. Stories are unique and techniques are changing, and they don't only cater to mainstream taste only. Hong Kong and China industry people cooperating is a trend. The market is very big and I also hope to cooperate with China."
Miriam most admire China's director Zhang Yimou and Lu Chuan. "'Riding Alone for Thousand of Miles' and Lu Chuan's documentaries let audience feel the charm of the filmmaker's passion in work. They are role models."
It has been a few years since working with Eason in "Feel 100% 2". Miriam thinks his performance is very good this time "We have different life experiences and lifestyles from the past. He has a wife and daughter now, same as the character in the film. We have more understanding of how to act these kind of roles with rich life experiences in this film. And he's more matured in his acting."
The cheerful Eason never forget to create an energetic atmosphere on set, "He will play the guitar and sing, or stand and play portable game. And he will disturb Director Law and make others laugh." But when Miriam has to get into her role of sadness, "I don't talk so that the emotion will not go away."
Miriam is a likeable person in real life. She bought a property so that she can live with her parents. "it's not really fillial piety, but because I have lesser time at home when I have filmming. Even when I get home I'll be tired and don't wish to talk. Mum complained many times", Miriam said humbly.
She has just received certificate of "Honorary Fellow". Is she very concerned about charity work? Miriam said if the social activities is not related to commercial purpose, she will care about it a lot. But in reality, celebrities care more for their career, "Charity work is just a way how we can repay the society, to spread charity to the furthest in the shortest time."
When the interview ended, Miriam said she had a good chat and told the reporter, "I like Sapphire Prince in the cartoon the most. A princess dressed as a man to rule the country, really resemble me. And in the recent new drama 'Wu Shi Lang', I played a strong character who like to dressed up as a guy from young." Miriam is a female workaholic with a man's heart indeed.
Zaobao Interview of Hong Kong's Miriam Yeung
Hong Kong artiste Miriam Yeung believes in Buddhism and the importance of life. But for the role of a fish seller in "Hooked on You", she had to kill many fishes. Miriam could not bear and asked the director to make the fish faint.
"Hooked on You" is about the changes in a market place between 1997 to 2007. As Miriam is playing the role of a fish seller, she naturally had to kill many fishes in the movie. "Even though we killed many fishes, they were mostly those that are unable for sale, hence it's not that cruel. There was once I had to kill an eel that jumps around. I was so scared. My family believes in Buddhism and don't take lives. So I asked the director to hit the fish for it to faint and I can't have NGs, if not we had to kill another fish."
This is Miriam's 4th time cooperating with Eason Chan. She recalled the first time when they worked together, "We filmed 'Rumble Ages' together when we first entered showbiz and we looked like extras. That was about 8 years ago. This time collaborating again, both of us have changed. He is more matured and detailed in expressing his emotions. Our chemistry was good."
Miriam's character in "Hooked on You" hopes to get married before 30. In real life, the 33-year-old Miriam is not worried about this problem, "We mustn't let numbers determine our thinking in life. In the past, traditional thinking is that getting married and bearing children is a woman's final destination. But it's more important for modern women to be independent nowadays. Love and marriage are for women to enjoy, and not to become their burdens. Even if there's no marriage, there's still different love experiences. There need to be serious consideration before getting married."
Miriam still looks forward to a relationship, "I do get to know some guys, but I'm clear that work is the most important for me now. I just changed a company, there's no time for dating. But this doesn't mean I won't go for dates. If I met a guy who can understand my working hours, there's still a chance."
As for marriage, Miriam said, "I wanted to get married when I was 25. Because that time I had been working in the showbiz for 6 years, I was a little tired and lost, thinking how I could go on. Now I find that I love my job very much. Marriage is not very important. The process of 2 person being happy together is more important."
Recently, Miriam received the title of "Honorary Fellow" by Hong Kong Polytechnic University to acknowledge her certificate in nursing school. "Hong Kong nursing schools didn't have certificate courses in the past." Before entering showbiz, Miriam was a nurse. "I miss the days working in the hospital, there's a lot of memories. The values and judgement skills I've learnt in the nursing school can still be applied in the showbiz." This honour let Miriam thought of studying Chinese medicine, "Some Western medicines have complications. Chinese medicines have less complications. I hope to study if there's a chance."
Miriam is often being asked about her rumours with Sammi Cheng. "Such rumours are written since I entered showbiz. Actually what the media write doesn't matter. I'm just a topic, putting me and Sammi as the opening then rest of the essay will be talking about other things." Both of them are in the same company now. Will there be a chance of collaboration? "Yes, if there's a suitable project. But there won't be a cooperation to create entertainment topics."

News 25/06/07 - Opening of "Asia Hollywood"
Invested by Media Asia, movie interactive game themed "Asia Hollywood" held it's opening ceremony at Hong Kong International Airport Terminal yesterday. The figures two metes tall of characters played by Eason Chan and Miriam in "Hooked on You" were shown.
Miriam laughed non-stop when she saw her own figure. She thought it quite resembled her, but Eason's figure was better looking than his real person. Miriam wore a pink gown and she said it was requested by her boss. She felt there's nothing wrong to be wearing so formally as long as it respects the event.
Miriam was busy promoting her movie recently and she just came back from Shanghai yesterday morning. She hardly has time to sleep but luckily she's finally able to go home for a rest after the event ended early yesterday. After attending the movie premier tonight, she'll have to go Guangzhou to attend a few more premiers. However, she has not really watched the film herself. She has promised to watch with Eason after they return Hong Kong. In the past whenever Miriam has a new movie showing, her parents will go to the cinema to listen to audience's response and let her know afterwards.
Miriam said China audience most cared about when she'll get married and when she'll work with Daniel Wu again, perhaps it's because "Love Undercover" was too popular. In "Hooked on You", Miriam's character gave up a long relationship for her career. She admitted this very close to reality, "Eason has a daughter in the movie, very similar to his real life. Hence 'Ah Miu''s experience will make the audience worry. Actually 'Ah Miu' is not so poor thing. She's a girl with patience and courage." Will she be pressurized by what the audience think? "I don't care, it's not breeding a foal! I'm not in a rush and never thought of this question. Can even give birth when 40 years old. This year I focus in movies, concert. Wait till I'm more free."
Eason & Miriam's "Hooked on You" due for release
Hong Kong sweetheart Miriam Yeung's latest film "Hooked on You" is due for release Thursday. The film mirrors the development of Hong Kong Island, tracing the evolution of a busy food market over 10 years.
Miriam Yeung plays Miu, a fishmonger who sets out a plan to change her life before she turns thirty. Her counterpart played by co-star Eason Chan works in the same market. Both found the task of killing fish for the film, challenging.
Miriam Yeung said, "The director asked us to do it all by ourselves, and we must appear quite skillful. "
Director Wing-Cheong Law has frequently worked with Johnny To. He won a Golden Horse award in Taiwan for "Best Editing". But he always wanted to direct. "Hooked on You" is his second film as a director.
The film also features Huang Bo, who shot to stardom after his role in "Crazy Stone". He continues to develop his unique comedy talent.
Huang Bo said, "I play a butcher who is a good friend of the two fishmongers. All the three are simple and forthright people, and sometimes conflicts are just inevitable. "
Nevertheless, it's a film about good people and Huang Bo says, they are all lovely characters.

Miriam Yeung talks about how she netted the role of a fishmonger in Hooked on You.
Actress Miriam Yeung plays a fishmonger in Hooked on You.
It's been close to a decade since Miriam Yeung began her acting career. During that time, she has played a wide range of roles, including that of a police officer, has-been TV star, beer girl and martial arts master. But none of these personas have been quite as down-to-earth as her latest role. In Hooked on You, she plays a fishmonger!
Actress Miriam Yeung plays a fishmonger in Hooked on You.
And if you have seen the trailer, you’ll notice how handy Yeung is with the cleaver as she sets to work on the fish. Credit goes to director Law Wing Cheong’s family, who are fishmongers and passed on secrets of the trade to Yeung.
“They taught me how to gut and fillet the fish and their selling techniques. They taught me how to identify the different fish and which ones sold faster. I also visited markets to see how fishmongers talk, their lingo and studied their way of life,” Yeung related during a phone interview from Hong Kong recently.
Hooked on You, which also stars Eason Chan, revolves around Miu (Yeung), who has to work as a fishmonger to pay off her father’s debts.
This is her second collaboration with Chan. Their first on-screen project was Feel 100% in 2001.
“We have known each other for 10 years now. And having worked together in the past, we understand one another better and there is chemistry between us.”
Although the role of Miu was not written specifically for Yeung, she nonetheless shares many similarities with her character. The most obvious being that both are in their 30s.
“And we’re both successful in our careers but we have yet to find true love!” Yeung announced before breaking into one of her famed guffaws.
When asked if this was due to her high expectations, the 34-year-old said that being in her 30s has made her less cautious about falling in love.
“At my age now, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t even have the chance to experience heartbreak.”
And her criteria for Mr Right?
“He doesn’t have to be rich, but he has to have a sense of responsibility, is understanding and funny.”
Yeung, recently signed to Leon Lai’s record label AMusic, has started work on her new album of Mandarin and Cantonese songs.
She will also go on a concert tour that kicks off in Hong Kong in October before moving to Malaysia, China and the United States.
She hopes to shoot another movie, preferably a comedy.
“I want to do something light-hearted and cheerful. Personally, I enjoy romantic comedies because of its feel-good factor. And I believe that it is a stress reliever. It can also change one’s perception about things.”

Hong Kong Grand Premiere of "Hooked on You"
At the premiere of "Hooked on You", children were dressed as fish mongers and walked the red carpet. Other than Miriam, Eason and the director, guests Lin Jianyue, Zhuang Cheng, Johnnie To, Feng Cuifan, Stephanie Cheng, Jolie Chan, Karl Ng and Xun Ni were also present.
Miriam re-sang Xun Ni's "Everytime when there are changes" as the movie theme song. Xun Ni thought the era is different and each song has their uniqueness. She doesn't mind people re-singing her songs because it proves the songs are nice.
Miriam's "rival in love" Charlene Choi's movie "Simply Actors" just opened and received good box office. Miriam admitted she has also watched the movie and praised Chim Sui-man for his good performance. When asked about Charlene's performance, she replied, "She's more free than before. I believe she has learned a lot from filming this movie."
Is she confident of her new movie's box office? Miriam said frankly, "I have confidence in myself. I don't believe no one watches my movie in the 60 days of summer holidays." Is she confident in beating "Die Hard 4.0" and "Harry Potter"? Miriam described "Hooked on You" as blue chips, and box office counts in long term. She'll also watch the two movies and it doesn't matter to win or lose, most importantly is there are people who watches.
Regarding Yumiko's exposing during a show in Toronto, Miriam at first thought the reporter was referring to last year's Tung Wah Charity show. After she knew Yumiko has exposed her nipple this time, she was shocked, "So big trouble? I didn't know. Why didn't she put nipple tape? Aren't there anyone who reminded her?" Miriam thought it's a strange thing to happen but there's nothing that can be done expect hoping she'll be more careful next time. Miriam wore a low cut dress at the premiere. Even though it's not very sexy, Miriam is always a "protection queen" and have used a lot of tape as protection.

Director Law Wing Cheong Comments Miriam's Acting
For Hong Kong's handover 10th anniversary, many Hong Kongers have many collective memories. Law Wing Cheong's "Hooked on You" and Barbara Wong's "Women's Colors" both used changes after handover as their topic. The difference is "Hooked on You" touched and go on a few big events like SARS, 1st July March, pyramid sales and financial crisis, mainly using Miriam and Eason's characters in a market to bring out the message of treasuring people next to you; "Women's Colors" follows Gigi Leung and Fiona Sit in experiencing all the big events Hong Kong people went through, and finally got back to their feet with perseverance and will.
"Recalling the past, a half of happiness, a half that makes one cry...", "Hooked on You" talked about changes that will always happen in life, just like many unforgetable things happened in the 10 years after handover.
The director conducted secret training of killing fishes for Eason and Miriam before the actual shoot, "Maybe Miriam was once a nurse and is not afraid of blood so she could pick up fast. She's good at catching big eel with her hands. Eason didn't learn as fast as Miriam, but he paid a lot of hardwork. Estimately they've killed over a 100 fishes each."
It's his second time working with Miriam, the first was "2 Become 1". Although many people thinks Miriam only laughs and can't act, the director has different views, "I feel this is other's wrong impression of her. Likes to laugh and being cheerful is her character, she actually wants to do things well, to film a movie well. Everytime, she puts her heart in acting. In the first half of the show, her role is in the market with messy hair and no make up. When I discussed the script with her and asked if she can do it without putting on make up, she asked me instead 'Why not?'. And during the scene about her father, Miriam was really into the role and couldn't stop crying even when we shouted cut. I was also moved and had teary eyes." Law Wing Cheong wondered what Miriam was thinking when filming this scene that she could cry so much.

News 01/07/07 - CLOT 3rd Anniversary Party
Edison Chen's brand CLOT held it's 3rd anniversary party recently. As Edison's god-sister, Miriam attended the party. She said Edison has grew up and become mature, he's born to be a CEO. When asked if she'll learn from him to do business she replied, "I'm not cut to do business, the most investing in property. But buying property is for me to live in, I've yet to think of selling it." What present has she brought for Edison? "I gave him my movie's complimentary pass. The movie is considered my baby and I'll hard sell it. I'm here to support him, will just stay for a short while. These few days have handover shows to do, I've to memorise Mandarin lyrics."
Gossip: Miriam and model Chen Jiarong both carried Anya Hindmarch's "I'm NOT A Plastic bag" environment protection bag when they attended CLOT's party. Miriam purposely flipped it over to carry. It's the latest trend from England to promote environment protection. The original price is just HK$90 over but was jacked up to a few thousand dollars on the internet. The Hong Kong version will release in 6th July and cost $120.
News 29/06/07 - "Hooked on You" promo in Zhengzhou & Guangzhou
Miriam went to Zhengzhou and Guangzhou to promote the movie "Hooked on You", she said, "The audience response in China was ideal, therefore I have confidence in Hong Kong's boxoffice as well." Miria has went to 6 cinemas there and surveyed. Many audience liked the film and were touched and cried. Miriam said, "I even cried myself. When I asked director next to me for tissue, he didn't have and had to ask others, so many audience knew I cried!"
Miriam was most touched when a 70 years old uncle in Zhengzhou wrote her a couplet with her name but it was unconvenient for him to travel so someone gave to Miriam on his behalf. Miriam hope to visit the old uncle next time when she goes Zhengzhou and wish him healthy. When Miriam appeared in a mall in Guangzhou, the fans ignored the security guards and rushed towards Miriam. Miriam hoped the fans can "quench their thirst" with her movie first, after she finishes her new album and October concert she can meet the fans in China again.

FISHING FOR LAUGHS: Miriam Yeung and Eason Chan play rivals, then lovers in Hooked On You. -- PHOTO: SHAW
IN HER latest movie Hooked On You, Miriam Yeung plays a fishmonger who wants to get married by the age of 30.
In real life, the 33-year-old singer-actress is not about to get married just for the sake of it.
Speaking from Hong Kong before a promotional event, she says: 'Our lives should not be governed by external numbers. Love and marriage are about enjoyment and should not be a burden. Otherwise it won't last.'
She joined a new music label, Amusic, earlier this year, and says that while she 'won't not fall in love', her first priority is work.
The former nurse entered the entertainment industry in 1995, after coming in third in Television Broadcasts Limited's (TVB) 14th annual New Talent Singing Awards competition.
She has since received various accolades, including song of the year and most popular female singer awards, in annual presentations organised by TVB.
Sometimes called the 'fat Sammi Cheng', Yeung is often compared to the Hong Kong pop diva as both have alto voices and act in romantic comedies.
Asked about the supposed rivalry, Yeung says calmly: 'People have been saying this since I started out in the business. It doesn't really bother me. I'm just part of a stock phrase 'Sammi and Miriam...' Maybe it's a vindication of my own position?'
At Cheng's comeback concert in Hong Kong in May, she was among the Hong Kong glitterati who showed their support with their attendance. Cheng even had her go on stage, along with fellow singer Gigi Leung.
On screen, Yeung has acted mostly in comedies, playing silly or clumsy characters - a total contrast to the mature and thoughtful woman on the line.
Far from tiring of such roles, she says: 'Comedy is actually the most difficult to film as it actually needs an emphasis and not just a string of jokes.'
And personally, she says that if she is unhappy, she watches comedies to lift her spirits.
Hooked On You has her reuniting with singer-actor Eason Chan, who plays a fellow fishmonger she fights with, then falls for. Yeung recalls that they had worked together in 1998 in Rumble Ages, about youths from different social backgrounds, when they were first starting out.
'It felt like we were two temporary actors then,' she says. 'Now, he's more mature, better at expressing his emotions more finely.'
Hooked is her second collaboration with director Law Wing Cheong. In 2006's 2 Become 1, a top 10 hit in Hong Kong, she played a woman who has to undergo a mastectomy.
Yeung is full of praise for him. 'He understands women very well, even better than I do. I told him he must have been a woman in his previous life.'

SEIKO WATCH CORPORATION
SEIKO Watch Corporation has appointed Hong Kong star Miriam Yeung to continue her endorsement of its line of Asian market women’s watches for a second year. Miriam’s SEIKO endorsement campaign was first launched in April 2006 in the following Asian countries: Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and China.
Last year’s ad campaign with Miriam as endorser focused on SEIKO’s Criteria line for women in Asia. Miriam has established herself in the Asian market as a singer and actress, and has won the admiration of young women as an independent woman with her own unique lifestyle, as well as for her sense of fashion. Miriam’s endorsement has successfully appealed to fashionable working women in their 20s, the SEIKO’s Criteria targeted customers.
This year, SEIKO has started the ’Me’ campaign throughout the world. ’Me’ is the key message to communicate with consumers whose timepieces are a part of them and people who truly fit the ’Me’ image are chosen. The person in the ad expresses his or her own personality, and the watch, of course, fits it perfectly. Unifying the concept, tone, and manner of its international ads in Asia as well, SEIKO has created an extremely powerful ad campaign featuring Miriam for women and Daniel Wu for men.
Photo and movie shooting scenes
The new series of ads was shot in Hong Kong in January 2007. Miriam did her part throughout a grueling schedule, maintaining her assertiveness and without losing her concentration, despite long hours in front of the camera from morning until late at night.
In the spirit of the ‘Me’ campaign, both the photos and promotional films are true to Miriam's personality, bringing out her inner “me.”
Criteria women’s watches
The Criteria series of women’s watches communicates an intellectual presence befitting independent women with busy and fulfilling schedules both at work and in their private lives: women who aspire to inner fulfillment as well as to outer beauty. Boasting a shape that is both stylish and ample in size, Criteria watches possess a distinctive design with large and unique Arabic numerals.

"The Sun" Interview
In this variable world, people will adjust to situations. Eason Chan and Miriam have been through changing times. From hot-tempered to deep thinking; from always laughing to being silent, there's always two sides.
How much tears and sweat are behind laughters, Miriam should know very well. There's really tears behind smiles.
"Big Laughing Auntie" is Miriam's image, as well as her character, and definitely one of the reasons why she's popular. Miriam in reality likes to laugh, but is also a pessimistic person who likes to cry as well. The label "Big Laughing Auntie" is part of the survival way in the showbiz. "This label is at least better than 'Jade girl', because it won't age!"
To entertain people, one has to entertain herself first, "When we are entertaining others, it's also a form of psychological therapy for ourself. Smiles can stabilize emotions, at the same time reminding myself not to keep remembering bad emotions. Filming are about others' life stories, and we shouldn't bring our own emotions into work and worry the people who cares about us."
The silly girl who entered showbiz has turned into a philosophy queen now. Miriam definitely changed quite a bit. She talks a lot, but carefully and reasonably. Other than Leon Lai who is "King of Golden Words", Miriam can be considered a female representative.
People grow up with experience. Miriam is a wise type of woman. When faced with criticism, she usually turns them into miracles. To own such wisdom, it really take years. "It's actually forced out by environment. Maybe I was once a nurse, patients' condition change in just a second, so it'll be terrible without good observation! In showbiz, days past like years and will make people grow and our thinking will no longer be one sided! Now I have high EQ? Haha, as long as there's enough to use!"
When Miriam was younger, she has met problems and didn't know how to compromise. But time can soften her. "Last time I was always aggressive. It affected many people and left bad impressions. Now I'm more patient." Miriam is sensible enough, but this made her see the world too clearly. "I like to think quietly. When I'm unhappy I'll hide and go through my thoughts to learn how to express emotions. When I'm better, then I'll ask my friends out for a drink!" Miriam's home is always her shelter.
After Eason has become a father, he has become more obliging. If Miriam were to be pregnant, how will she become? A career-minded woman like her is actually full of motherly love. "Man and woman are different. If I have a baby, I will leave the showbiz immediately! Being parents doesn't give birth only, they have to bring up the child! Parents are the baby's first impression when they arrive this world. Hence we have to guide them. I'm OK in taking care of kids!"
Miriam is the eldest daughter and have to bear the responsibility of the house. She always said career is important, but actually, being strong is because there's no one to depend on.
If a man needs to get Miriam's trust, he would have to go through many obstacles. But once he gets her trust, Miriam will be afraid of nothing and have the spirit of "People can deceive me rather than I deceive people". In Miriam's love file, "Ronald Cheng" is a name that'll always be there. Even if recently there's one more "Charlene Choi" next to "Ronald Cheng". Like what Miriam said, she and Ronald are just like a movie that will always be screening. Although Miriam is pessimistic, she never regret even if she's being betrayed. "I take love seriously, but it is hard to trust a person. If I decide to believe him, even if he hurt me and doesn't keep promises, I'll still think it's worth it!"
After joining a new company, Miriam will just focus on her career first, but she still looks forward to Cupid's arrow only at a right timing. "I rather not if the timing is not right! I have met the right one because those I met are not ideal. Ideals and reality sure has differences. I can't say what type of people I want to meet because many plans will be changed!" Just like her movie "Hooked on You" which talked about the difference in 10 years of Hong Kong, Miriam's 10 years was loved, hurt, gained, lost... After 10 years of experience, the conclusion is "Live Now", holding on to what heaven gives. Miriam said, "Heaven will not give you extra!"

In this variable world, people will adjust to situations. Eason Chan and Miriam have been through changing times. From hot-tempered to deep thinking; from always laughing to being silent, there's always two sides.
How much tears and sweat are behind laughters, Miriam should know very well. There's really tears behind smiles.
"Big Laughing Auntie" is Miriam's image, as well as her character, and definitely one of the reasons why she's popular. Miriam in reality likes to laugh, but is also a pessimistic person who likes to cry as well. The label "Big Laughing Auntie" is part of the survival way in the showbiz. "This label is at least better than 'Jade girl', because it won't age!"
To entertain people, one has to entertain herself first, "When we are entertaining others, it's also a form of psychological therapy for ourself. Smiles can stabilize emotions, at the same time reminding myself not to keep remembering bad emotions. Filming are about others' life stories, and we shouldn't bring our own emotions into work and worry the people who cares about us."
The silly girl who entered showbiz has turned into a philosophy queen now. Miriam definitely changed quite a bit. She talks a lot, but carefully and reasonably. Other than Leon Lai who is "King of Golden Words", Miriam can be considered a female representative.
People grow up with experience. Miriam is a wise type of woman. When faced with criticism, she usually turns them into miracles. To own such wisdom, it really take years. "It's actually forced out by environment. Maybe I was once a nurse, patients' condition change in just a second, so it'll be terrible without good observation! In showbiz, days past like years and will make people grow and our thinking will no longer be one sided! Now I have high EQ? Haha, as long as there's enough to use!"
When Miriam was younger, she has met problems and didn't know how to compromise. But time can soften her. "Last time I was always aggressive. It affected many people and left bad impressions. Now I'm more patient." Miriam is sensible enough, but this made her see the world too clearly. "I like to think quietly. When I'm unhappy I'll hide and go through my thoughts to learn how to express emotions. When I'm better, then I'll ask my friends out for a drink!" Miriam's home is always her shelter.
After Eason has become a father, he has become more obliging. If Miriam were to be pregnant, how will she become? A career-minded woman like her is actually full of motherly love. "Man and woman are different. If I have a baby, I will leave the showbiz immediately! Being parents doesn't give birth only, they have to bring up the child! Parents are the baby's first impression when they arrive this world. Hence we have to guide them. I'm OK in taking care of kids!"
Miriam is the eldest daughter and have to bear the responsibility of the house. She always said career is important, but actually, being strong is because there's no one to depend on.
If a man needs to get Miriam's trust, he would have to go through many obstacles. But once he gets her trust, Miriam will be afraid of nothing and have the spirit of "People can deceive me rather than I deceive people". In Miriam's love file, "Ronald Cheng" is a name that'll always be there. Even if recently there's one more "Charlene Choi" next to "Ronald Cheng". Like what Miriam said, she and Ronald are just like a movie that will always be screening. Although Miriam is pessimistic, she never regret even if she's being betrayed. "I take love seriously, but it is hard to trust a person. If I decide to believe him, even if he hurt me and doesn't keep promises, I'll still think it's worth it!"
After joining a new company, Miriam will just focus on her career first, but she still looks forward to Cupid's arrow only at a right timing. "I rather not if the timing is not right! I have met the right one because those I met are not ideal. Ideals and reality sure has differences. I can't say what type of people I want to meet because many plans will be changed!" Just like her movie "Hooked on You" which talked about the difference in 10 years of Hong Kong, Miriam's 10 years was loved, hurt, gained, lost... After 10 years of experience, the conclusion is "Live Now", holding on to what heaven gives. Miriam said, "Heaven will not give you extra!"

Wu Shi Lang Promotion in Hong Kong; Cantonese Version to be Broadcasted
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/albums/Ch...h/_09MA007_.jpg
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/albums/Ch...3070918_big.jpg
Miriam and Wallace Huo's drama "Wu Shi Lang" will be showing on NOW TV and a promotional event was held in a shopping center in Kowloon Bay yesterday. A pity there was a lack of organization, the host was inexperienced and couldn't control the atmosphere. Luckily Miriam helped out and didn't let the situation become too embarrassing. The host used Cantonese to ask Wallace Huo questions. As Wallace couldn't understand, Miriam had to be the translator.
A group of children were invited on stage to play swords and let Miriam and Wallace judge. The children were just stunned on stage and some ran after Miriam with the sword, totally not knowing what they had to do. Miriam saw that the host had no preparations, she initiated, "Due to time constrain, let's take a group photo." After taking photo, Miriam helped to bring the children down stage.
Miriam was wearing shoes with heels 5, which were 6 inches high and was careful with every step. She nearly got tripped by plastic bits on stage. "I looked like I was walking on stilts. It was because the heels were slippery!" Miriam was happy that she had movie and drama showing concurrently. She hopes to work again with Zhang Guoli who played her father in the drama. There were rumors that he was sick, Miriam clarified, "I saw him last week. He's filming a 80-episode drama and he looks energetic! He was just having flu previously!"
When reporters asked what Miriam thought of the event, she replied, "The feeling is refreshing. We all came all the way here, and I know what kind of photos you all need for work. I didn't want Wallace to be so embarrassed." Does she think the host is inexperienced? She said, "The host is young, and perhaps unsure of China productions. A bit weird."
Regarding "Wu Shi Lang's" pirated copies already out in market, Miriam is not worried about the ratings because Hong Kong will be showing the Cantonese version. Miriam flew specially to Shanghai for 10 days to do dubbing for the drama. In this kungfu comedy, Miriam had quite a bit of fight scenes. She hopes to try a new way and asked boss Lin Jianyue to produce action films for her. She revealed that at first Mr. Lin didn't believe she can do actions and suspected she was using body doubles in the drama.

2007 marks the tenth anniversary of the 1997 Hong Kong Handover, when the territory was returned to Mainland Chinese rule. Dubbed a "Handover film" along with Barbara Wong's Wonder Women and Samson Chiu's Mr. Cinema, Law Wing Cheong's Hooked on You gently revisits those momentous ten years through the lives of normal everyday Hong Kongers. With the city as a loving backdrop, this Johnnie To-produced film follows the evolving experiences and relationships of two fishmongers played by Eason Chan and Miriam Yeung, who previously starred in Law's 2 Become 1. The memorable ups and downs of the decade, from the financial crisis and SARS to bakery runs and urban redevelopment, weave unassumingly into the narrative, as the protagonists and the city grow and change together. Collaborating for the third time after Feel 100% II and Frugal Game, Eason Chan and Miriam Yeung share a natural chemistry and deliver remarkably restrained and realistic performances. Banking simply and effectively on good acting, good story, and good direction, Hooked on You subtly captures the Hong Kong experience with earnest emotions, sincere storytelling, and down-to-earth nostalgia.
In the summer of 1997, 27-year-old Miu (Miriam Yeung) begins working as a fishmonger at Fortune Market to pay off the debts of her irresponsible father (Stanley Fung). She immediately invites trouble from brusque fishmonger Fishman (Eason Chan), who is none too happy about the competition, but the two eventually settle into a tentative friendship. The hardworking Miu, like most Hong Kong women approaching the Big Three-O, is hoping to get married soon, and most definitely not to a market vendor. As the years pass, Miu and Fishman experience trials big and small together, growing closer over time. Fishman sees Miu and Fortune Market as his present and future, but she wants more from life.

Miriam Demostrates CPR on Sammy during Jade Solid Gold
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/albums/Ch...070720fp08y.jpg
Miriam was the guest for "Jade Solid Gold" and was asked to demonstrate first aid CPR in the show. She said that due to time limit and scared of exposing, her actions will not be very accurate. Demonstrating CPR in a music variety show had caused audience complaints that the show is lame.
"Jade Solid Gold" changed it's contents to accomodate the summer holidays and arranged celebrities to demonstrate different sports in the show, like Andy Lau playing Tai Chi Swordplay with a few new singers. However this segment intending to inject freshness had been criticized as being lame and opposing a singing programme's nature.
Miriam was interviewed after the show on why she didn't change when she had to do demonstration, "I was scared of exposing and the recording was only half an hour so I didn't have time to change clothes." St John Recue Team was present to oversee the process, but because the demonstration only had two minutes, some steps were not very accurate.
The lyrics of Andy Lau's new song "Most Popular Male Singer" had Miriam's name in it. Miriam haven't heard the song, but thought her name's pronounciation was easy and perhaps that's why it was used in lyrics again. The line of the lyrics is about whether Miriam will thank Paco if she wins an award. Miriam answered, "Of course I will thank him. I will even thank Capital Artist."

Music Theater: "Storm of the Woman with Integrity"
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/albums/Ch.../Miriam%201.jpg
Music Theatre "Storm of the Woman with Integrity" starring Miriam and Edmond Leung was held at the Convention Centre. Other singers that participated include Stephanie Cheng, Jill, Charles Ying, E02 and Vangie Tang. The singers played roles of teddy boys and girls, and sang classic songs from the 80s.
The story of the musical is set in a campus in the 80s. Miriam and Edmond played the leaders of the gang of teddy boys and girls. In the beginning of the musical, the 2 gangs performed dances and when Edmond lost to Miriam, he gave her flowers and made her shy. Actually Edmond pursued Miriam as a form of revenge and wanted to "cheat her feelings, waste her time, squeeze her tears dry, make 'A Girl's Prayer' turn into 'a woman's mud', a school belle into a fat flower!" This dialogue made the audience laugh out loud.
The show is a romance comedy and the singers tried their best in being funny. A lot of times, Miriam couldn't help laughing out and couldn't sing properly especially when Edmond sang to her "Life's Most Beloved". During a dance scene, her ring fell off and she couldn't help laughing when she picked it back up. The most surprising part was to end off the show with the song "Hong Kong Has You". It was an anti-climax when the music started playing.
After the show, Miriam was being asked why she kept laughing, "Actually everyone had some mistakes. But it was really scary this time. Had too little time rehearsing and I have not done this type of musical before, so there had been many mistakes. However, the feeling is very different working with a bunch of people. I hope to persuade Boss to do this again!" When asked again if she couldn't remember the lyrics because there were so many songs, she replied there was about ten over songs and she mixed up the order of some lyrics. When commented she seemed to be better in dancing rather than singing, she said, "I can't focus on the mouth when I focus on my legs. I'll treat this time as a warm up for my concert."

Miriam and Stephanie Cheng attended an awards presentation show yesterday. Miriam was awarded "The True Beauty Queen" award. There was a recent online survey on old maids in showbiz who can't get married off. Miriam was placed 2nd after Joey Yung. Miriam believes "Hooked on You" has made people misunderstand that the role is her real self, especially when her co-star Eason Chan entered showbiz at the same time with her and is now already married with kids.
"To find someone to marry is not difficult, to love the person or not is important. Spend a few hundred dollars at a marriage agency would find one a suitable partner. But I won't get married because of the word "old maid" and there can be divorce after marriage." When asked if she minds people calling her an old maid, Miriam said she prefers people to call her a "laughing auntie," at least there's no age limit. She also thinks it's unfair, as why men who don't get married are called "diamond bachelors" while women are to be called "old maids." She is not hurt by this and said others' happiness need not build on her own pain. "I should say I will get married next year. If I don't, come and ask me again!"
Miriam will release her album mid August. When asked if Leon Lai, who's filming in Beijing, will come back to Hong Kong to support her, Miriam doesn't know. But she knows Leon cares a lot about her album and calls her everyday to ask about the developments.

MOOV.now.com.hk will hold a total of 6 "Moov Live" music shows in August. The theme of the show is "Unreleased, Excite first." The show is a new experience for music fans as it will be simulcasted on internet and mobile phones. Miriam, Stephanie Cheng, Vincy Chan, Edmond Leung, Justin Lo and Andy Hui are among the 6 singers to be featured in the show. They will bring along their new album and production team to have a close interaction with music fans.
Miriam will be the first singer to perform her new album on the 9th of August. Miriam expressed that when doing album promotion in TV and radio stations in the past, there had to be some form of entertainment or commercial value other than singing. But now, "MOOV Live" uses the most direct and practical way to share the songs in the new album with fans and they will be able to reflect their comments immediately. Miriam feels this is a sincere music show and looks forward to it. She also feels it's a chance to upgrade for herself as well as fans. This is also her first show after joining a new music company and hence will be specially serious.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow! This is an awesome idea... to have singers perform their new albums on stage LIVE!!!
This will not only allow people to understand and listen to their songs before they decide to purchase it or not, but also it is a great way to promote albums....

BTW: MIRIAM'S NEW ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED ON AUGUST 10TH, THE DAY AFTER HER MOOV LIVE SHOW!!! She has also plugged her 3RD song! SUPPORT HER AND PURCHASE YOUR OWN COPY OF HER ALBUM SOON!!!

"All About LOVE Miriam Yeung 2007 Concert" Photo Shoot
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/albums/Ch...t%20Love%204.jp
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/albums/Ch...%20Love%203.jpg
Recently, Miriam did a photo shoot for the poster of "All About LOVE Miriam Yeung 2007 Concert" that's to be held from October 12-15, a total of four shows.
Miriam feels that a concert is very meaningful to a singer because it's a sort of summary of a stage in her career. Miriam hopes to bring something fresh to the audience and present a brand new "Miriam Yeung". Joey Zhu is the creative producer of her concert. "I admire Joey Zhu's daring creativity. I watched Eason Chan and Soft Hard's concert and found Joey Zhu will not treat a celebrity as just a singing toy when producing their concerts. He will understand the singer's characters and thoughts, then produce a tailored concert for them. Because I think a concert is everything to a singer and it should include thoughts and feelings. He is very clear about every singer's good points and magnifies them. He should have a little interest in me since we have not worked before, and we should have sparks!"
Joey Zhu listened to every single one of Miriam's songs and thinks Miriam belongs to the world of relationships, including love, friendship, and family. Hence the concert is titled "All About Love" and Miriam's love songs in different stages will be transformed into a life journey.
To shoot the poster of the concert, Joey Zhu specially designed a small hand holding a heart-shaped diamond, to put on Miriam's head and also made her wear a very big spectacles. These 2 accessories are specially molded and spent a bit of work. Miriam said, "I asked Joey Zhu why he had this concept. He answered somethings are small and not easily seen, but those are our most beloved things and even a form of love we are pursuing! After listening to his words, I'm at ease leaving the whole concert to him. I'll just concentrate on exercising and practicing songs! I even have time for afternoon tea!"
When Miriam first saw herself in the big spectacles, she kept laughing. The photo shoot took a bit of time and after five minutes, Miriam asked the photographer to hurry, "The red circles on the specs are making me dizzy. Maybe I see the world too clear normally and am not used to it, hahaha! But I understand that sometimes we have to be a bit muddlehead and not too persistent. To wear a specs even when there's no short-sightedness, days can be still happy, because experiences are part of life, happiness and health are more important than anything else!"
There's still a bit of time away from her concert, but Miriam believes this concert is a refreshing and challenging job. As there's a trend of collective memories currently, Miriam revealed that she will sing all old songs on stage because they represent her life journey. "I dare to say this boldly, there won't be added shows and won't release videos, because this is the true meaning of LIVE!"
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/albums/Ch...%20Love%206.jpg
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOW!!! There will be no added shows or any DVD/VCD releases of her concert!!
I'm very shocked and sad at the moment because it would mean people who cannot make it to her concert won't be able to see her perform on stage... x_X'
^^I'm one of those people.... Miriam seriously is different compared to other artistes... I guess the true meaning of LIVE is very important to her!!!!
Oh well, I still wish her concert the very best and hopefully it will be a good one...
The poster is silly and cute, and at the same time very simple! I think this represents Miriam's personality very well!!!!

Miriam attended East Asia's boss Lin Jianyue's 50th birthday dinner and bought a lucky crystal as a present for him. "I bought it in Hong Kong, just a normal crystal, similar to a sculpture." Miriam and Andy Hui sang "Fire Hot LaLaLa" together at the dinner.

Does anyone know the title to the more recent song that Miriam sang for the commercial of that throat-medication (sort of) liquid thing. This is the previous song Miriam sang for the brand. For the same brand, Miriam performed a newer song in the early 2000's and the commercial itself featured Miriam on a plane.
Thanks

If I'm not wrong, the early 2000's song you're talking about is in this commercial: Miriam CM
It's a remix of her song "Miriam Yeung," made to fit the commercial...
I've also seen another CM of the same brand, I think she was riding a skateboard, but I cannot remember the song...
I cannot find the other CM your talking about, but If you happen to know where the CM is, I'd be happy to help you figure out the name of the song!
BTW: I cannot figure out how to embed videos from youtube! It never displays right... Do you kow how to??? Thanks! xDD
^ Thanks, I remember the song sounding familar but the lyrics weren't familar.
To put youtube videos here all you have to do is put all the characters after the "=" sign from the url in between "(youtube) (/youtube)" -- replace the parenthesis ( ) with brackets [ ]
For for this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U43FSWRxG6E
(youtube)U43FSWRxG6E(/youtube) (again, replace the parenthesis with brackets) and you get:

oops...just noticed that I didn't even include the url to the commercial I was talking about.

Miriam was the first singer for the "MOOV Live" concert shows. Although her new album is not yet released, she had sang many new songs in the show, including "FA", "Whenever There's Changes" and "Collective Memories". Miriam said that this concept is very daring and she had never interacted at this close distance with her fans, she had a feeling of a family.
Fans didn't want to leave after Miriam's performance and there was an encore. Miriam revealed in the show that she cried during the recording of her new song "Strange Ways" and she's seldom so touched in recent years. "I've sang for so many years, it's easy to become numb. But being a singer needs freshness and excitement. This time it's a good thing that I was touched and cried."

One of Hong Kong's most popular entertainers, Miriam continues to give her best with Meridian. A follow-up to last year's Unlimited, her new album features promising new songs "Change" (CD - Track 2) and "Collective Memory" (CD - Track 4). The album also include "Finally Have to Admit It" (CD - Track 5), the theme song for her upcoming tour in October.
This edition comes with a 5-track MV DVD.

Miriam's first album in Amusic has finally released. Other than the songs all chosen by Leon Lai, the album cover production was also arranged for Miriam, showing that Leon is very concerned about her new album. Miriam praised Leon for his good administrative work!
Yesterday, Miriam went to the radio station to promote her new album. As this is the first album released after she has joined a new company, Miriam hopes that it can give a brand new and bright feeling and hence suggested Leon to let her go outdoors for the shoot of the album cover in order to add a bit of sunshine feel to it. Leon arranged her to go out at 5 A.M. to get shots of the sunrise. In the end, Miriam had to get ready at 3 A.M. and didn't get to sleep the whole night. At first she was worried that rain will hinder the shoot, but luckily they finished shooting by 10 A.M. and got to eat breakfast.
Miriam didn't understand why she had to shoot at such an early time and asked the management people. Miriam said, "Leon as an artiste and as an administrative personnel is two different people. He has his opinions. Was Leon present at the shoot? No, he was filming in China." When asked if Miriam is worried about her album sales, she replied, "It seems OK! Leon said reports have been done and told me I can tell reporters that the sales is better than the previous. Does Leon have any golden words for her? No, he said very practical things. He's very proper in doing business." Miriam then said it was also good to shoot in the morning because she's afraid she would get heat stroke when it's too hot. And if she fainted while the new songs are not yet recorded, she would have a bad time.
Miriam said Leon is very concerned about her new album and personally chose the songs and photos for her. There was once when Miriam was late for recording and Leon also knew about it. This shows that Leon likes to do things himself and is very serious about work, worth people's respect and admiration.

One of Hong Kong's most popular entertainers, Miriam continues to give her best with Meridian. A follow-up to last year's Unlimited, her new album features promising new songs "Change" (CD - Track 2) and "Collective Memory" (CD - Track 4). The album also include "Finally Have to Admit It" (CD - Track 5), the theme song for her upcoming tour in October.
This edition comes with a 5-track MV DVD.

Miriam's first album in Amusic has finally released. Other than the songs all chosen by Leon Lai, the album cover production was also arranged for Miriam, showing that Leon is very concerned about her new album. Miriam praised Leon for his good administrative work!
Yesterday, Miriam went to the radio station to promote her new album. As this is the first album released after she has joined a new company, Miriam hopes that it can give a brand new and bright feeling and hence suggested Leon to let her go outdoors for the shoot of the album cover in order to add a bit of sunshine feel to it. Leon arranged her to go out at 5 A.M. to get shots of the sunrise. In the end, Miriam had to get ready at 3 A.M. and didn't get to sleep the whole night. At first she was worried that rain will hinder the shoot, but luckily they finished shooting by 10 A.M. and got to eat breakfast.
Miriam didn't understand why she had to shoot at such an early time and asked the management people. Miriam said, "Leon as an artiste and as an administrative personnel is two different people. He has his opinions. Was Leon present at the shoot? No, he was filming in China." When asked if Miriam is worried about her album sales, she replied, "It seems OK! Leon said reports have been done and told me I can tell reporters that the sales is better than the previous. Does Leon have any golden words for her? No, he said very practical things. He's very proper in doing business." Miriam then said it was also good to shoot in the morning because she's afraid she would get heat stroke when it's too hot. And if she fainted while the new songs are not yet recorded, she would have a bad time.
Miriam said Leon is very concerned about her new album and personally chose the songs and photos for her. There was once when Miriam was late for recording and Leon also knew about it. This shows that Leon likes to do things himself and is very serious about work, worth people's respect and admiration.
meridian is quite a different album from miriam's past ones. it seems like she has taken up a different genre, and it stands out from the rest of the hk songs of today. my favorite track is 別阻我開心. 
^same here! i looooove track 7. Don't Hinder Me From Being Happy. I've been addicted to it for 2 days and im still not sick of it. I thought i would've been the only one liking this song.
