Athena and a few other celebrities attended a charity function last night in aid of the needy children in the world ( 給世界兒童一個暖暖聖誕慈善嘉年華 ). Athena said that on Christmas eve, she and her good friend Ada Choi along with a few other celebrities will be selling bread in aid of needy children in the Third World. Furthermore, they will also be singing Christmas carols. Since both she and Ada are Christians, they are especially happy when Christmas comes.
During the function, Athena sang as well as danced. The songs she sang were Glass and a Sammi Cheng number. However, maybe because she was unfamiliar with Sammi's song, Athena sang some of the lyrics wrongly and also went out of tune. When this situation surfaced, Athena did not panic but smilingly invited the audience to carry on singing the song.
When asked about her views on her role as a singer, Athena replied that everybody has their own path to follow and for her, besides singing, she has to film movies too. She cannot maintain or consolidate her position as a singer by releasing album after album. Athena also feels that image is very important to a singer but one requires sufficient time to build up one. And when asked if she will go for a more sexy image, Athena replied that she wouldn't and that she will just try her best. Athena feels that she is quite lucky in that nobody has complained about her acting. Even though she will not be getting any singing awards this year, Athena says she doesn't mind. In fact, it is even better this way as there will be no pressure on her and to be able to work under no pressure is really enjoyable.
