Steve Ma

[cherrie]

sagie: ok, i'll send you 3 cds in total. one for the themesongs, the other two his songs from his albums. i'll be typing also the albums where i've got the songs. i think i'll just type the titles of his songs in english. you can pm me your address. btw, i think i'll still wrap the cds to prevent them from being damaged
anyway, i've read a whole newspaper page regarding steven's newest book and there's an interview on him too! i learned that steven's dream was to become a social worker. he said that in showbiz it's very easy to forget abt society's problems, and it's only in his books that he gets in touch with reality again. i really like his attitude. i mean, not all actors who are famous still choose to become social workers right?

How is Dark Shadows? Does Steven and Shirley have chemistry in there? I find it intersting how Steven has triplets in here since usually its twins in series and stuff

Steven Ma was a guest at the "YWCA Hotline 20th Anniversary Carnival" yesterday and a poll was made as to the words people most like to hear when they are down. Steven chose "No matter what, I will be here by your side supporting you!" because he feels that support is very important.

Steven says that if he meets with difficulties, he will talk to his friends and sometimes they will try too hard to offer advice, but when people talk about their problems they only want to get it out of their system, so we should all learn to just listen. In the past, Steven didn't know how to handle his emotional problems, thinking he was very strong, such as the time five or six years ago when his mother died and his work seemed to have ground to a half. His Chiu Chau chauvinism and pride got the better of him and he rarely spoke to other people about his probems, making him turn to drink to drown his sorrows. Asked if he became an alcoholic, he admits: "Yes. (Did it work?) It blocked out the problem, but it was tough waking up the next morning and didn't resolve the issue. I feel that I didn't address the problem properly so I have not drank any alcohol in recent years." Steven laughs that he prefers to discuss his problems with women: "Women are more sensitive, caring, patient and sympathetic so they are better than 'brothers'." He will also do sport to keep his energy levels up, with a recent interest in fitness, table tennis and badminton.

At the time, Steven did not go out for several months and his friends were very concerned for him, finally he managed to get through the bad times by taking up reading. One of his friends had given him a book that told of how to face life and death. This enlightened him and he feels that death cannot be controlled, so why not face difficulties with a positive and optimistic outlook?

Later, Steven will meet with more difficulties because he will be filming in the mainland for several ancient dramas. Away for six months to a year, Steven is worried about his family. He had earlier been to Beijing for a promotional event and had met with directors and producers who said that his face is very traditional and suited to period dramas, with someone suggesting that he is suited to playing poet Li Bai. When asked if he has been offered this part, Steven says: "We are in discussion, there are still a lot. (What about TVB?) I extended my contract in February, but we have an understanding and I have a great level of freedom. (How are you going to pay back your series debt if you are always in China?) I will do my best to fit in the time, I will film at least one series for them."

Steven appeared at the event on a voluntary basis and he indicates that many artistes take part in voluntary work, but he hopes that more can do it and not worry about receiving a fee. Also, if he has time, he will go to the YWCA to help man the phone lines.

hey!

thank you Buffy with the news.

[goddessofhonour]

Yeah, thanks Buffy sis for the news Steven looks so nice in those pictures, he looks really happy and excited.

I'm glad to hear that Steven has like ways to express his emotions now instead of witholding them in since that isn't good. Also glad to hear that he isn't using drinking to get away from his troubles anymore

Lol, he's diffinately right. Women/girls are more sensitive then the guys

[susie]

yeah, drinking isn't a way to get away from problems but people just drink to hide those difficulties they need to face.

and some people smoke to release stress, i think that's just an excuse. once you try you can never stop!
btw, is steven smoking? i heard most actors and actresses smoke alot.

[sagiescorp]

thx buffy for the news.i'm glad to hear that he is happy.anyway,welcome back to the thread,though i never chat wif you b4,i hope we can be good freinds later

susie: i'm not sure if steven smokes but he does smoke in some of his shows

[cherrie]

sagie: i mean, would you still want me to ship the cds? yes, i would love to have the mtv too! tnx in advance!
im very happy too with that news.

anyway, tnx for the correction!
