A couple of days after the event, HK tabloids were splashed
with headlines about Tony Hung’s very public pursuit of Natalie Tong. To be
honest, I am all for it! It’s time for Natalie to move on to a new romantic relationship
and get out from Amigo Choi’s vicious shadow. Natalie’s last visit to Malaysia was like
2-3 years ago. Fans look forward to seeing the vivacious Natalie and when you
throw-in a hot, sexy and astoundingly cool dude like Sammy Sum, you should expect
nothing short of wild enthusiastic support.
I am so thankful that Astro arranged for Natalie and Sammy
to perform first. By then, I am so “roasted” under the brutal scorching sun! One
thing is for sure, the priceless expressions on the artistes’ faces are very
clear indications that they enjoyed the function as much as we do. Sammy’s live
performance of 換個他was flawless. As I have
mentioned, this guy is definitely someone to watch out for. Natalie’s singing is just mediocre (Jolin’s 日不落) ,which I had expected but did not
mind coz I am just happy to see her again. Natalie has a good memory and was
extremely friendly to a Cantonese speaking Indian fan (who had won an Astro
contest and I believe met with Natalie at TVB city recently). She hugged him twice
on the stage when he participated in a game session. What a lucky fella! Natalie said she hope to
have the chance to try local hawker food, like curry mee. Both also shared
their Chinese New Year plans. Sammy (raised in Canada) hopes to find time to
visit his family in the land of maple leaf. Keeping my fingers crossed for Paco Wong to arrange
for Sammy to head to Malaysia again during his debut album launch in March. I
sensed an awkward moment when Vivian, the Astro emcee, asked whether Natalie
would spend time with her parents. Natalie’s mom passed away a few years ago.
Natalie revealed that she would spend the CNY with her married brother’s
family. She might also try to make “robert
go” (radish cake). She also took the opportunity
to promote “Raising the bar”. Speaking of this drama, I of course, ain’t pleased
at all with Elaine and Natalie’s limited screen time. Again, these two talented
ladies have to make way for the four newbies (of which, I only find Stephanie
Ho showing potential). Grace is in way too many dramas back-to-back. I
sincerely wish that Natalie finds success in her career and love life in 2015.
