27 December 2008 Saturday | 2008/10 Hong Kong, Xmas 08 | Comments (10)

Two days before the flight to Hong Kong, I emailed my friends to inform them that I’ll be absent from the Boxing Day Party. Andrew: Wah seh! So fun! Everyone go to the airport and send you off again? Leo: Don’t give him false hopes. Needless to say, there wasn’t anyone at the airport that [...]

#1: Cruz Teng is plain stupid. I was walking up and down in Tsim Sha Tsui on Thursday with a bag and two new pairs of Adidas. I was startled to feel a slight strain and began to wonder if my stamina was failing. It was after a full two hours on the streets that [...]

第八屆全球華語歌曲排行榜頒奬記者會
30 October 2008 Thursday | 2008/10 Hong Kong, 2008年 第八屆全球華語歌曲排行榜頒奬記者會 | Comments (10)

2001年開始主持五年半的〈全球華語歌曲排行榜〉、也分別在上海、台北和新加坡主持過〈全球榜頒奬典禮〉,我對這個節目和活動是特別有感情的。由北京、廣東、香港、上海、台北、馬來西亞和新加坡電台主辦的全球榜頒奬儀式今天在香港電台舉行。08年天災不斷,華人地區電台投入大量資源救災。因此,主辦方決定以簡單莊重的記者會取代原有奢華的頒奬典禮。 北京台今天下午宴請各台代表。前幾年都和相識的海外DJ坐在一塊兒,天南地北講個沒完。本台高層今年缺席,我就“升格”到了主賓席和各台首席代表打招呼。深深的酒窩便是最佳的破冰道具。:) 之前還擔心會underdress。結果。。。我。。。至少人家會說我尊重大會。哈哈。 ****** 下午3點08分,儀式開始。香港電台第二台和普通話台現場直播。大批媒體和歌迷聚集在廣播道的香港電台演播室。剛在〈新加坡金曲獎〉拿下‘最佳本地歌手獎’的蔡健雅和我在一旁,等待一分鐘後上台啟動頒奬儀式並立刻揭曉〈全球榜〉‘新加坡地區傑出歌手獎’成績。 Cruz: Do you understand Cantonese? Tanya: No! Cruz: Me too. Ok, we monkey see monkey do. Tanya: Ok ok. 香港電台的司儀分別用華語和廣東話主持。其中一人忽然通過麥克風用廣東話和我們兩人講了幾句話。 Tanya: What did she say? Cruz: I have no idea. Oh no! What are we supposed to do? Tanya: Phototaking is it? Look in front and smile! 哈哈哈!!! 蔡健雅最終獲頒6項大奬:傳媒推薦女歌手獎、最佳專輯(Goodbye & [...]

Hong Kong: Day 2

Unless I have to be on air, I generally don’t do breakfasts. And with that ultra comfy bed, I HAD to sleep till noon! I’m probably going to be labelled a loser for eating so little in Hong Kong, but the thing is I cannot gorge. I have a TV shoot next week. And even [...]

Hong Kong Day 1

各位鄉親,我已安全抵達香港了。三小時前入住享譽亞洲的Peninsula Hotel 泛島酒店。。。 。 。 。 。。。後面的Kowloon Hotel九龍酒店。 I had to do this line in Chinese for effect maximisation. :p Directly opposite: Peninsula Hotel I arrived in Hong Kong on Monday as the Bank of Asia issued a profit warning and saw customers flocking to their branches in a withdrawal frenzy. The shares of other [...]
