JULY 1999
- Finished shooting of Concubine Yeung which started production since March - finally. See promotion pictures here .
- Recently working on Sword Stained With Royal Blood.
- News from his wife Kitman : she is planning to set up a record company and produce an album featuring two of her singing students, Kong Wa might do a solo or duet in it. Whoop! Hope it's true, really looking forward to hear him sing again!
- On the 7/18/99 TVB weekly program K100, there's a short interview with Kong Wa during the shooting of his first ever underwater scene for Sword Stained W/ Royal Blood. He admitted that he is no good a swimmer but would try his best to finish that scene.
- 7/21/99 - very disappointing news! The role of Yeung Siu in HSDS went to Eddie Cheung instead. I guess maybe it's due to the overlapping shooting schedules of SSWRB and HSDS.
AUG
1999
- Around mid August, the production team and cast members of SSWRB will go on location in Nanhai, China.. The shooting period will approximately last for a month.
- My source said that Kong Wa will most likely do another ancient series (again?!) The Register Of Gods (Feng Shen Bang) in October. He'll play the role of Li Chein. But that still needs to be confirmed.
- 8/16/99 - I'm still very excited that Kong Wa had left a message to mKWp today (you can find the whole message in my guest book). News from the man himself : on 8/18, he's leaving Hong Kong for location shooting of SSWRB in China and will be back in a month. Most exciting of all, he'll quite likely do a modern series for TVB in October! Hurray!!!!!!!! I'm so glad that he is not going to do that ancient series, The Register Of Gods. Actually he's good at playing any roles in any genre but I guess we just all miss his modern image too much ^.^
- 8/21/99 - yesterday TVB had invited the HK press to pay a visit to Nanhai, the current shooting location of SSWRB. The weather has been terribly hot in Nanhai these days and it's really tough for the cast and crew working there, especially the actors who have to wear those multi-layers ancient costumes. So, I just wish KW would take good care of himself ^.^
- 8/28//99 - click here and here to see KW (the emperor) and Ann Heung (Concubine Yeung) together for the first time not in their ancient costumes. I believe these photos were taken a while ago during a special event unknown because both of them seemed pretty much dressed up.
Sept
1999
- 9/19/99 - KW has been back to HK from his location shooting of SSWRB in China. He was found taping the TVB game show?Åå¤Ñ°Ê¦a¼úªù¤H couple days ago with Joyce Tang, Yuan Choi Wan?and a few others. (Just wonder if he had won any expensive prize in that show ^.^ Anyway, we're all happy to see him back) Most probably the show will be aired sometime this week in HK, so check that out!
- 9/24/99 - I found two 'tiny' pictures of KW on the game show?Åå¤Ñ°Ê¦a¼úªù¤H which was already aired on 9/22/99 (well, for people like me who haven't got the chance to see the show yet, it's better than nothing.....). Click here and here to see his new hair style. (Thanks god he finally has the chance and time to grow his hair ^.^ hmmmm....no more sequels on 'Journey To The West' please...)
- 9/27/99 - YES!! IT'S TRUE!! KW's new TVB project is a modern series and it's a light comedy co-starring Lau Chong Yan, Ng Wing Mei and Florence Kwok. Hmmm......I'm so excited and can hardly wait to see it. ^.^

9/28/99
- KW told reporter that he's still busy working day and night on
SSWRB so he could not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family.
He didn't even get the chance to enjoy the full moon as he used to finish
work 'very early' these days - around 5:00 a.m. and he found the moon no
more as the sun already came out (haha.... the way he said it is so humorous).
Also, he's strongly against people who nowadays like to play 'wax-boil'
instead of lanterns during this festival as they'll have a danger
of getting seriously burnt. In order to stop this kind of dangerous behavior,?
he suggested that the government should charge whoever doing it with arson before
any tragedy happens. ( ^.^ Good idea!)?
(extracts from 9.27.99 Singtao Daily / English translation by mKWp) - 9/30/99 - EXCITING NEWS!! KW's new Cantonese song will be broadcasted for?the first time on the National Day of China, Oct 1st in Guangzhou ( ¼s¦{).(Gee! I do envy those people in Guangzhou! Just have no idea why it's not in Hong Kong?!) My source said that this song which named Ultimate Passion ( ¼ö·R²×·¥), will be used in the upcoming series SSWRB ( ºÑ¦å¼C). Besides, since the production of SSWRB is a collaboration between TVB and China, KW later will do this song in Mandarin titled Heaven Forbids (¤Ñ¦aÃø®e) for the China version of SSWRB. Whoohooo! Just can't wait to hear the song in both versions! ^.^ (Still keep wondering though.....why Guangzhou first? Hmm.....)

- 10/21/99 - KW attended a press conference today for his new TV series titled Unemployed Residents (µL·~¼Ó¥Á). The series is about the consequences brought by?the Asian Financial Crisis and how they have affected the lives of people in Hong Kong. Actress Nicola Cheung who played KW's sister-in-law in Mr. Diana, this time takes the role as his girlfriend.
- 10/25/99 - KW is about to finish on SSWRB (there's only one more shooting day?for him at the end of this month) and is now working on Unemployed Residents (µL·~¼Ó¥Á). (What a busy guy! He has been working one series after the other, non-stop! But that's exactly what we want ^.^.......cuz it will never be seeing too much of him on screen, absolutely the more is the better!!!)

- 11/17/99 - on Nov 19th, KW will attend the TVB 32nd Anniversary Show as he is one of the nominees for 'Most Unforgettable Male Character'. No matter if he can make it or not, he has been our only winner and always will be ^.^? Anyway, remember to tune in that night. Besides, it's nice to see him on his B-day and we probably can say "Happy Birthday" to him in front of the TV screen....... haha...... may be he can hear us....... ^.^
- 11/25/99 - KW is going to release his CD in year 2000 including tracks Ultimate Passion ( ¼ö·R²×·¥) in Cantonese and Heaven Forbids (¤Ñ¦aÃø®e). Whoohooo!

1999
- Dec 11, 1999 - Good news for year 2000! KW's modern?series Unemployed Residents ( µL·~¼Ó¥Á) is planned to be aired on Jan 3rd, 2000! Wow!! That means in less than a month. However, the down side of it, KW has recently got stomach problems and lost some weight due to the extremely tight shooting schedule, simply working days and nights without any proper rest. Anyway, we all wish him good health and guys, let's start the countdown! ^.^
- - KW's new TV series will start airing on Jan 3, 2000 which is next Monday. Therefore, he will take part in a number of promotion activities such as: 3:00pm at TV City (¹qµø«°) tomorrow and 1:00pm at Golden Coast Mall (¶Àª÷®ü©¤°Ó³õ) on Jan 2, 2000 which will be a really good chance to see KW in person, fans in Hong Kong are sooooooo fortunate!!! Now KW finally is able to take a good rest and has already gained back some weight (thanks heaven ^.^). However, some potential projects seems to be on the way including two commercials and a China production TV series. Although they are still under negotiation and not yet confirmed, KW most likely will get into his busy shoes again pretty soon! (source from KWIMB)
- - an EXCITING news!! KW is going to appear at the TVB Online Chatroom on New Year's Eve (Dec 31) from 11:00pm to 12:00pm (Hong Kong time). Don't miss this chance to chat with him!
