	June 25th MISS HK NEWS Translated & courtesy of Em, TVBSpace.Net The sixteen contestants for this years Miss Hong Kong pageant attended an event held by the watch sponsors of the show in Causeway Bay, where the company's CEO Olivier Bernheim presented each of the girls with a Tango watch as a souvenir, worth $9500 each. After the group photograph, Mr Bernheim suddenly tapped Number 14 Lee Wing Chi on the shoulder, scaring her into pulling back. Afterwards, when asked if she was a little frightened, she replied graciously: "No, he was not brushing my back, just tapping me on the shoulder. (Did you find him very amicable?) I have not thought about this." After tapping the contestant on the shoulder, Mr Bernheim continued to give the MC Ursule Wong a peck on the cheek and forehead, leaving her with a bit of a cold sweat. Afterwards, when asked if she found his actions a little intimidating, she replied: "Foreigners are usually a little warmer. (Do you feel like you are losing out to him?) It's not as though he kissed me on the lips. this is just a polite gesture." Number 8 Tsui Suk Man was asked whether her boyfriend (ex-husband of former supermodel Janet Ma) has bought her an expensive watch as a birthday present, she replied directly: "No, I usually go out with my boyfriend for a meal on my birthday to celebrate." As for Janet's criticisms of her as not qualifying as a 'model' because she has never walked on a catwalk, Tsui Suk Man says: "I have never done a catwalk show, I am just a photographic model. (Has your boyfriend told you that Janet is his ex-wife?) We have always been very open with each other." Contestant numbers 9 to 16 were filming yesterday at TVB for a promotional clip and responding to the comments about her having rather thick legs, Number 10 Tsang Shui Shan said: "I have been doing sports since I was young and there will be muscle there, no matter how skinny I am. (Some reports suggest you look like Korean male star Lee Jun Ki?) That is quite funny, but to look like a star is good." Hot favourite Number 11 Cheng Wing Sum was asked if her darker skin tone will put her at a disadvantage, but she replies: "I don't think so, I actually look more special."

	June 23th MISS HK NEWS Translated & courtesy of Em, TVBSpace.Net The 2006 Miss Hong Kong pageant will be held at the Hong Kong Coliseum on 12th August and the sixteen finalists met the press officially for the first time after their makeovers. Although the event was held at the pool of a housing development, maybe because the girls are still undergoing slimming, so they were arranged to wear some casual summer outfits instead of swimwear. The loose fitting dresses weren't too sexy and some even gave the girls a bit of a 'bucket waist'. The girls were asked to walk along a catwalk to the centre of the pool to introduce themselves and although they had undergone training, the nerves showed as some girls ended up 'marching' down the platform. (Looking at the group, your eye is immediately drawn to #1 Tsang Oi-Mei* due to the sharp contrast of wardrobe colors. She looks stunning. I wonder if #5 Konnie's white dress is the one she wore to the first press conference where the 21 contestants were introduced?) According to the information provided from the event, there are nine contestants who are educated to university standard and only #10 Tsang Shui Shan is just a high school graduate. Sporting a 'Cleopatra' style haircut, #12 Tse Wing Shan is studying archeology at university and she says she would like to go to Egypt for a dig when she graduates. She loves her hairstyle as she feels that this matches her course very well. As for their figures, the official measurements have not yet been released, but from the event, #1 Tsang Oi Mei, #4 Wong Ying and #11 Cheng Wing Sum have fuller figures. As for their ages, the youngest contestant is 19-year old # 9 Yuen Yee and 25-year old #13 Chan Yan Mei is the eldest. # 9 Yuen Yeesays that the other 'elder sisters' have been looking after her and #13 Chan Yan Mei does not think that she will lose out on age because this proves she has more life experiences. Hot favourites such as #4 Wong Ying, #8 Tsui Suk Man and #11 Cheng Wing Sum seemed to be rather tired yesterday and for Tsui Suk Man, who has had a lot of gossip about her since she entered the compeition, she was asked whether she felt pressurised because of being dubbed a favourite. She says that she is happy enough already to get into the finals and if she gains a top three position, then this would be a bonus. She will not think too much about other things. In response to the reports that she has a boyfriend in his forties and questions about his support for her, she said: "My friends and family are all very supportive. (Is your current boyfriend the one you want to marry?) We'll go with the flow." with reports that she had revealed in the training camp that she wants to get married soon, she as asked about this and she replied: "Every girl wants to get married, I think I will get married before I am 30." Wong Ying and Tsang Shui Shan were asked about their 'bra shopping experience' reported by the press and they admitted it openly, saying that it is perfectly normal to prepare some underwear for the contest. #5 Lui Wai Yee wore a white puffy dress and she says it is very cute. As for being dubbed as a favourite, she smiles: "I am not a hot favourite, just among the 'better ones'. She also says she does not think she looks like Shu Qi, but since she was ten years old, people have noticed a resemblance. #15 Cheng Wing Sum's outfit seemed very conservative compared to her usual low cut tops and asked if she was worried about the press following her around as a favourite, she said: "I am not worried. I am usually with my family or going to the community centre to do voluntary work, so I have nothing to hide." According to executive Ho Lai Chuen, the contestants will be heading out to Seoul and Jeju Island in Korea for the location shoot, which will last a week. The girls will take lessons in Korean culture and customs. They will also visit a cosmetic surgery college. It has been confirmed that Korean stars se7en will be the guest performers. Other guests will include Roger Kwok, Kevin Cheng and Bosco Wong, but they are currently working on their schedules. Mr Ho says that they will most likely select two of the three men. (Please let it be Kevin & Bosco) On the Mr Hong Kong front, Assistant Organising Manager Rosa Chan received a letter from the school where #10 Siu Cheuk Ming was alleged to have molested a 16 year old girl. The school gave a glowing reference for him and indicated that he has won many awards for the school and there was no such incident that happened.

They also met with the hair and image stylists to prepare for their official meeting with the press on Friday. The four overseas contestants also met the media for the first time, but the quality was not as high as the girls from abroad in past years. Among them, wearing a red low V cut dress was Lee Wing Chi* from New York, who stood out from the rest with her great figure and beaming smile and challenging local favourite Wong Ying. Making a change from her usually conservative appearance, Tse Shan showed off a little of her chest. The other overseas contestants are Chow Wing Yi from Los Angeles, and Cheng Ka Man and Chow Ka Wai from Toronto. As for the three hot favourites, Cheng Wing Sum, Tsui Suk Man and Lui Wai Yee, Cheng stole the show with her little strappy dress and after seeming a little exhausted and spotty earlier, Tsui was also back on form, but her choice of outfit wasn't as eyecatching as Cheng. Lui wore her green dress that she has previously been sighted in, showing she is quite thrifty with her clothes. (I’ve seen the dress before. Konnie Lui wore it to one of her first interviews. However it is much too casual for this occasion. It's almost like a beach dress! Aiy...Zurine Cheng definitely has one of the best fashion sense of the competition. Her outfits always stand out in a "MHK" way) The funniest sight of the day was Lee Wing Sze, who had thick make up on and kept her mouth closed as she forced a smile and was likened to a paper doll. Maybe she was too nervous and because she seemed to have some rather sweaty armpits! Tsang Shui Shan has previously been noted as looking rather masculine, but she appears to have made an improvement yesterday, wearing a strappy top and some make up, adding a little more femininity. http://the-sun.orisun.com/channels/ent/20060620/20060619235854_0000.html http://www.takungpao.com.hk/news/06/06/20/UL-582099.htm 2006 Contestants #1 Tsang Oi-Mei #2 Cheng Ga-Man (Toronto) #3 Lee Wing-Sze #4 Wong Ying #5 Lui Wai-Yee #6 Chan Man-Fong #7 Chow Wing-Yi (LA) #8 Tsui Suk-Man #9 Yuen Yi #10 Tsang Sui-San #11 Cheng Wing-Sam #12 Tse Wing-San #13 Chan Yan-Mei #14 Lee Sze-Ji (New York) #15 Chow Ga-Wai (Toronto) #16 Yau Wing-Yan
	June 7th MISS HK NEWS Translated & courtesy of Em, TVBSpace.Net The twelve finalists for this year's Miss Hong Kong Pageant is revealed as the three hot favourites Tsui Suk Man, Cheng Wing Sum and Lui Wai Yee* appear to have made it through easily. In a 'Survivor-style' elimination session at the Pak Tam Chung camp where the girls have been undergoing training, judges Eric Tsang, Carol Cheng and Olivia Cheng made their choices and sent nine of the girls home. The girls were very nervous as they awaited the results in the camp that was built exactly in the style of the 'Survivor' councils. In addition to the three favourites, the other girls who made it through to join the overseas contestants in the final include: Chan Yan Mei, Chan Man Fong, Lee Sze Wing, Yuen Yee, Tse Wing Shan, Tsang Oi Mei, Yau Wing Yan and Tsang Shui Shan. After the results were announced, the girls who didn't make it were so emotional that there were a lot of tears. TVB had arranged for six cars to take the girls home afterwards and wearing a very low cut top, Cheng Wing Sum was particularly eyecatching as she left, talking on her phone constantly, sharing the good news with her friends and family. Fellow favourites Tsui Suk Shan and Lui Wai Yee left together, proving that friendship comes first and competition is second place. Carol indicates that she is very pleased with the twelve finalists: "These twelve girls are the result of discussions between the three of us, so all our favourites are in there." http://the-sun.orisun.com/channels/ent/20060609/20060608233945_0000.html

June 7th MISS HK NEWS Translated & courtesy of Em, TVBSpace.Net The twenty-one Miss Hong Kong contestants were gathered at the Sai Kung camp for a 'Survivor-style' council meeting, where tutors Eric Tsang, Carol Cheng and Olivia Cheng* made their selections of the nine girls who would be eliminated at this stage, leaving twelve finalists. To set the scene, the site was set up as a barbecue park to get the girls into the spirit. Emotions were mixed as they entered and despite the numerous rumours, hot favourite Tsui Suk Man was in good spirits. Asked if she was confident, she did not respond, but smiled. As for Lui Wai Yee, she was brimming with confidence, looking out for the cameras all along the way, compared to the girls who were preparing themselves to leave the competition, who were avoiding the press. Article : http://the-sun.orisun.com/channels/ent/20060608/20060607235308_0000.html After watching the first episode of the 'beauty camp', some of my favourites are... A1 Chan Man-Fong - sweet face & studying Electrical Engineering! A4 Liu Wing-Yui A5 Tsang Oi-Mei B1 Lee Wing-Sze - gorgeous face like Virginia Yung & Kayee Tsang (MHK 04 #14) B3 Yau Wing-Yan - plesant face & adorable. smth special about her B4 Tsui Suk-Man - cute factor B7 Wong Ying - looks a bit like kate tsui C1 Aimee Chan Yan-Mei (MCT 2004 delegate #7) - she's beautiful in person. C3 Lam Suet-Man - reminds me of Kenix Kwok C4 Konnie Liu Wai-Yee * The Webmaster's hotdoor. Several MHK webmasters have picked her as the one to beat. She's absolutely stunning. June 1st MISS HK NEWS Translated & courtesy of Em, TVBSpace.Net As the activities continued for the 21 Miss Hong Kong contestants yesterday, there was an injury as Tsang Shui Shan* (dubbed as 'the female form of Korean star Lee Jun Ki) slipped whilst pushing her canoe ashore and wounded her knee. She indicated that she was bleeding and the first aiders came to her assistance in stopping the blood. Asked if she was worried this would affect her performance, she says: "No, it will not. The other team members will help me." It appears that after four days of training, the girls are physically and mentally tired, with Tsui Suk Man's bags under her eyes comparable to a handbag and not showing her usual sparkle, whilst Tsang Shui Shan and Lam Suet Man have had a bit of a breakout on their cheeks. As their guest tutor, Carol Cheng indicated that the girls will be split into three groups, where twelve finalists will be selected. In addition to the four overseas contestants, who gain automatic qualification, there will be sixteen girls in the finals. She says: "We will be holding a 'survivor' meeting on the 7th, where the final twelve will be selected. As there is no semi-final this year, the responsibility for the selection will rest on Olivia Cheng, Eric Tsang and myself." Carol says that the educational standards of the girls this year is high and there is even one girl with a PhD place, so even if she isn't successful, she still has a job to return to.
