Following the enormous success of  “Wellness On The Go 1 and 2 ”, Astro  and TVB have once again joined forces to bring us the third installment (Wellness On The Go 3 – Dare to Dream aka 星级健康3之星梦成真-举行造势与宣传活) this coming June (to be broadcasted in HK at a later date).   TVB flew in Oscar Leung (梁烈唯), Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪), Sharon Chan (陳敏之), Pierre Ngo (敖嘉年) and Elaine Yiu (姚子羚) to promote the premiere of the new season.   This time around it has a brand new refreshing theme, exploring the dream occupation of TVB artistes. A few new faces will be joining the host line-up, namely, Him Law, Natalie Tong and Pierre Ngo.   At the time of writing, they have two more episodes to shoot before wrapping –up season 3.  Fans, watch out for Natalie Tong and Nancy Wu to grace our shores next! Personally, season 3 really piqued my interest. I like the first season (and the fact that there is open event with each episode filmed) but the second season is a bore…same old same old. 
For Benjamin Ng and Elaine Yiu, I truly believe this season is their most memorable.  Ben had a harrowing experience working for the local fire fighters. It’s funny when Ben said “I trained with  BOMBA (the Malay word for fire brigade)”.  During the fire drill simulation, Ben had a close shave when he almost burnt his hand when the fiery fire got too near for comfort.  Lucky for him, his team mate helped put it out in the nick of time. Let’s not forget the taxing physical training he had to endure and the mental state of mind he had to prepare himself for.  Ben entertained the audience with an oldie, Shakin’ Steven/Michael Buble’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
Elaine was all teary eyed in the promotional clip. A longtime advocate of animal shelter and cruelty against animals, shooting this show is truly a dream come true. Each time Elaine shared her joy and sorrow at the SPCA with the abandoned dogs and cats, I was in awe of both her passion and compassion for the stray animals. If she had not joined the e-circle, I bet her employer would have been SPCA.   Elaine even extended her trip in Malaysia, just so she could visit SPCA again.  She has grown extremely attached to the animals during the short period of shooting.  SPCA even asked Elaine to name one of the abandoned dogs (the name goes by the month the animals were left at the shelter).  Elaine named the dog “Angel “(for the month of April).  Elaine strong encourages adoption instead of buying new pets.  Although under the weather, Elaine gave a perfect 10 rendition of 你最珍 with Pierre Ngo.  Elaine looks absolutely stunning in a short dress.

Pierre is new to “Wellness on the Go” and he is such a seasoned emcee with sound knowledge of the fish species. In the game session, baldy Pierre helped his kiddy fan scored top marks in identifying the fish species.  Pierre also talks about the many new things he had picked-up while working at the breeding farm of Golden Arowana.  He joked that the leeches had a “buffet” when he was bleeding big time after being bitten.  Oscar took on the task of an eco tourist guide in the tropical rain forest. He had to relieve himself out in the open although he tried hard to hold it in, plus overcome his fear for bugs and creepy crawlies, too.  Sharon lived out her dream of being an apprentice chef in a 5-star-hotel, serving a number of customers who did not realize that Sharon is in the kitchen sweating out the dishes. On a side note, Sharon will soon be expanding her cookie empire – Blesscuit Bakery to Malaysia. Other celebrities participating in season 3, includes Him Law as a gym instructor and Ruco Chan (original ambition is to become a race car driver) but had to settle for being a barista managing a café on his own.
