Gallen Lo Volunteers to be Jessica Hsuan's 'Donor'

When fellow friend Jessica Hsuan proclaimed that she would like Louis Koo to be her 'donor' for a baby, Gallen Lo laughs and exclaimed " This is too much! Why didn't she choose me!"

Gallen Lo recently attended the Guangming Moutain Charity performance

Elder brother, Gallen Lo attended Guangming Mountain Charity performance and was interviewed at the Intercontinental Hotel yesterday. Since the last meeting, Gallen still looked high in spirit and friendly, smiling and greeting as soon as he saw the reporters.

China's Sohu news site recently circulated news that Gallen's fellow friend in the industry Jessica Hsuan although is currently still single, would want to be a single mother to satisfy her over 80 years old father's wish to have a grandchild.

When a single mother does not choose her husband but the father of her child, Jessica picked her friend Louis Koo as the likely candidate.

Reports stated that Jessica has more "feelings" for handsome guys.

Jessica wants to take advantage of Louis' qualities for her baby? The reporter brought this up, and Gallen who is always cautious and modest with his words stares with big eyes and asked " When did she(Jessica) said this?"

He then continued "This is too much, I want to go and ask her why didn't she picked me? Does she feels that I'm not handsome enough?!"

While talking and supressing his laughter, we rarely see the mischievious side of Gallen. He then added humorously, "She(Jessica) could borrow from me more easilly......" and someone at the scene joked, " Maybe she feels that Louis is more 'capable'!"

Take note, all the above that Gallen mentioned are jokes only, they are by no means real. If it isn't because he is talking to a familiar reporter, he may not give those comments.

Regarding Jessica mentioning her interest in looking for a 'donor' for a baby in her interview, Gallen expressed that Jessica is just trying to make everyone happy and to lighten up the atmosphere.

Fellow friend Jessica Hsuan wants Louis Koo to be her 'donor'. Gallen laughed and exclaimed, "This is too much! Why didn't she choose me?"

Review of 6 TVB Elder Brothers and Sisters : Ron Ng is Similar to the Younger Me

Gallen Lo in reviewing TVB's 6 Elder Brother and Sisters said " Charmaine Sheh is like a mettalic robot never tired, Ron Ng is similar to the younger me."

The three degree TVB's movie king, '1st Brother', Gallen, still the honest and simple self thinks that the '1st Brother' title is only because people 'give face'.

Although these years he fights one after another to enter China's market, he may not know the new Siusangs and Fadans now but Gallen still analyses them rationally and this is what he has to say :

Charmaine Sheh : We worked together before(Seven Sisters), she is very hardworking and is continuously improving. But she has many negative rumours, and this needs a very high withstanding pressure, different from me who received more protection when I just entered the industry.

The situation is, Charmaine has practiced very early, 'Being like a mettalic robot, working hard and never tired'.

Gallen sighed that the negative rumours could spoil an entertainers hard work.

Myolie Wu : We worked as an item in new drama (When a Dog Falls for a Cat). She works very hard to portray her character, but netizens commented that her acting is exaggerated. I do not feel so and I feel that people should give her chance.

Yoyo Mung : Worked together before ( The W-Files), but mentioning her name, my thoughts go to Ekin Cheng, Haha!

Raymond Lam : Worked together before (Golden Faith), he acted as my younger brother. He developed very well, the acting skill, and sings well too. His album is selling well, and he is very popular in China and also around Asia.

Bosco Wong : We are aquaintance, met each other before at a meal. He has style.

Ron Ng : We are friends. His looks is extremely good, but I feel that he has not met with a good production.

The reporter answers that Ron Ng's acting has been criticized as being 'wooden'. When Gallen heard that he replied humorously, "Wooden? Similar to the younger me luo!"

If reposted please give due credits.

Ivy : I miss watching Gallen on screen. Looking forward to his new drama. I love his chemistry with Charmaine in 'Seven Sisters' although their big age gap(about 12 years). They turned out as a very cute couple and my mum still loves Charmaine in it until now. Gallen is right comparing Charmaine to a mattalic robot as Charmaine really is very hardworking. Working non-stop! And on the rumours around her, not much worries as Charmaine has a very high EQ and handles her rumours well!

Movie Review : Blue Moon

I started watching Blue Moon with not much expectation from its plot. The main reason I watch the movie is because Charmaine and Julian are in it. I expected Blue Moon to be a light-hearted or even comedic movie. But Blue Moon took me in surprise as it turned out to be a sad movie. Maybe the title of the movie “Blue Moon” reflects the female lead, Moon’s(Charmaine) feelings of sadness and grief.

I would not say the movie to be a superb fully entertaining movie, but I would say that it surpasses my expectations. Before watching it, my thoughts were : “ Ok, I’ll focus on Charlian” but I ended up also caring about the other plots between the other characters eg. Calvin Choy and his daughter and William So and Sherming’s relationship.

All the characters blend well with each other and is pretty easy to watch. I did not find myself hating a particular character as what usually happens when watching other movies. All the characters were pretty likeable.

Some pretty good acting could be spotted too, especially from the three male leads, Julian Cheung, Calvin Choy and William So. Julian portrayed his character as a loving husband and boyfriend well. He looks good with the boyish charm and lovely dimples and it breaks your heart seeing him shed a tear. Calvin Choy also portrayed his role pretty well. The cop, with the gangster look caused by 5 years of being an undercover. Besides, the father and daughter relationship in the movie was pretty touching and did made me shed a tear. William So’s role in the movie did not really played a significant part to the movie but nevertheless, one could not deny that he could act. The quarreling scenes between him and Sherming(which was almost throughout all the scenes between them in the movie) looked and sounds natural. Just like what a bickering couple would sound and look like in real life.

Charmaine’s acting at the time(2001) of course left space for much improvement. The time seems to be around the middle of her career where she is starting to slim down, improving her acting and correcting her ‘chicken voice’, on the pathway to being the ‘phoenix’ she is now! Her chemistry with Julian in the movie is undoubtedly there although I was wishing there were more loving scenes between them. I guess I could get myself contented with the home cooking, veterinary clinic visits, chiropractic treatment and the ‘ruined kiss’ scenes. Also Charmaine is a female police cadet in the movie but her personality is So-Not-Madam Ma!

I first expected Sherming to be the playful and flirty character that she usually play in other dramas and movies…but she turned out being the kind, caring and loyal one here. Ronald Cheng’s character is an addition of humor to the movie as his character does not seem to play any major role except to add some laughter. Another thing to look out for in the movie is the special appearances of current fadans which were newbie at the time. They are Sharon Chan who acted as Julian’s wife and Tavia Yeung as Sherming’s best friend.

In conclusion, Blue Moon is a movie revolving around the importance of love and how one should appreciate their loved ones while they are still around. Not only boy and girl love but also paternal love. Do not expect an action-filled journey while watching this movie as Blue Moon is a slow paced meaningful movie which needs you to sit down and understand the true value of its lessons. Prepare some wipes as you may shed some tear especially for the soft-hearted one. And I am sensing that most Charlian fans may hate the ending!!

Free as a Bird, Busy as a Bee!

I'm free, I'm free!!! I'm released from PRISON at last!! No more exams and I have a long long holiday before university life starts...LOL. Well, I expected today to be a very enjoyable and FREE day but I ended up being busy like a bee!!! What a busy and tiring day!!

Woke up at 7am and sat for my last paper which ended at 10am. After that went to settle everything I had to at college which took longer than I expected...returning text book(I'm pissed off with that inefficient librarian!!), claiming Caution Money Refund and signing Completion of Course forms which needed me to hand in my Student ID Card or else a penalty of RM50(urrggh...no more special student rate for movie tickets and bowling!!) and also went to get my LAN(Lembaga Akredasi Negara) subject results. Fortunately I passed!!! Hahaha...no more boring LAN subjects(Malaysian Studies and Morale Studies) for Uni!! All these took me about 2 hours!!!

Then had to rush back home to freshen up and went out again to catch the 1.30pm movie(I planned to use my Student Card for special discount!!!) and lunch outing with college friends as today could be considered the last day for some of us meeting together. After that, drive drive again burning petrol to pick mummy from work and went for some grocery shopping. Reach home went online for like 30 minutes then freshen up again and zooomm.....out again for birthday dinner. Only reached home at almost 12am and then busy busy helping my brother to print some stuff and I had to do some packing as I'm going to Langkawi until Monday. So tiring!! I could imagine how tiring work is as a TVB Artiste where their day could be many times busier than what I went through today!! Poor Charmaine, Raymond, Tavia, Linda.............

Haha...as my exams are over, everything will resume back to normal now. I'll do more news updates, reviews, translations etc

Also I have some plans arranged for the coming weeks....

28th June : Joey Yung Starlight Concert

5th & 6th July : Heart of Greed Promo in Ipoh, Perak



I'm leaving for Langkawi and have to wake up at 6am!! Better go sleep now. I hope there is WiFi available at the hotel I'm staying so I could go online and blog!! Haha. Also I'll watch Blue Moon(Thanks Melanie for the surprise DVD!!) there and probably do a review of that movie!! See ya tomorrow if there's WiFi....if not then Monday then! Goodnight!!
