Vivian Chow Wai Man's new goal -- Marriage
Return

Vivian Chow Wai Man recently has a new slang that she constantly uses, as long as you mention a certain around her, she would say this slang, "Thanks for your concern!"

The person mentioned is the boyfriend she reconciled with, Ngai Chun. Her usual policy would be to admit the relationship, but she wouldn't mention it much. Each time the relationship is mentioned, she would always smile and say, "Thank you for your concern."

Although she wouldn't talk about him with her mouth, her action speaks louder than words. She already has reduced her workload and concentrated on her own family life. Seeing Big V (her nickname) in public less and less last year, one would know she has switched the priority on things that are important in her life, as work no longer has top priority.

"Without any doubt I wouldn't put work first, instead health is most important, because I feel although my 10 years of performing life brought me a lot of fame and fortune, but at the same time I still lost my health. Recently I constantly have minor problems and catch cold easily. I would work as soon as my eyes opened, plus I would have to perform on stage, screen and television. For a long time I slept only three or four hours a day. One day I looked at the mirror, why am I pushing myself to this sad shape? I began to lighten up my load."

Chow Wai Man expressed she has calculated with cars and real estate, she isn't wealthy but isn't poor either. If she spends thriftily she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life. If she is fighting for money it would be unbelievable, if it was for fame, honestly she already had it once. Her goal isn't to become an international superstar, so she should chase after her personal life.

"Could this be the beginning of you easing out of the business?"

"Um, easing out aren't the right words, because I still am recording records, the time I spent is more than before, I even wrote more songs. I would be completely into it during promotion. So saying I am easing out isn't the reality, I only cancel the unnecessary work and select those I like."

For example, before when she recorded a song, she must turn off her pager so no one could find out, so she was known to be "the master of nervousness" in the studio. But now she would turn on the vibration, if it was family or good friends, she would take the time to call them back.

"Especially my mother is in poor health recently, I always worry." She is a well known good daughter in the business, as she always lived with her mother and they took care of each other.

"Although your past goals have been achieved, would your new goal be getting married?"

As soon as she learned the word marriage she smiled sweetly and answered, "Everything will take its natural course, it would be hard to say I am getting married and then get married right away. It isn't something one person could do. When the time is right, I would definitely tell everyone. I know you are all in a hurry for me, but I am in no rush!"

Chow Wai Man said she is happy about the current family life. It looks like she already treats her boyfriend as a part of her family. After all the twists and turns, she still feels he is the best.
