Amy Chan

[jparadize]

yes! her name is Charine Chan Ka-Ling. haha =)

she's very close with amy. but she doesn't appear much on screen thou. cos she's more into movie. not like amy, so into those never ending dramas. haha

[Sorrow]

Yup, from what I heard on many different websites, they're sisters.

But it's odd that their names don't follow the traditional pattern. Unless their family just doesn't follow it or something happened.

Amy is Chan Sau Man
Charine is Chan Ka-Ling

Usually in Chinese tradition, they would have the same middle name to show their rank in the family is the same by following a Chinese poem.

Anyhow in comparison... I believe Amy is much more prettier and has much more charisma. However Charine is pretty too. Maybe because I am more exposed to Amy, or because Amy's one of my favorite actresses, I think Amy stands out a lot more. *haha*

Also I believe Amy is a much better actress, too. I mean even back in the early 90's when they were both dominant on the film and tv screen, I was much more capitivated by Amy's acting than Charine.

Anyhow, Charine doesn't make films anymore right? I haven't seen her in one for ages.

Oh and I recently watched Taiwan's "A Chinese Ghost story" just because I found out Amy was in it. The whole series almost had me chocking it for the stupid main characters, Daniel Chan and Barbie Hsu plays. Luckily Amy's guest starring character saved the series for me. And the actress who played her son (Liu-Yun)was my all-time favorite character in that series. I don't know his name though. But he kinda reminded me of the way Dicky Cheung likes to portray his characters. Funny but serious, goofy and lovable. useless but useful. *haha*

Okay enough nonsense. I need sleep. It's freakin almost 4 am here in america.

[jparadize]

[Linh-e-Pooh]

She was one of the highlighs of A Chinese Ghost story.........



she was alright in THe Yang Lady...

Her story was the ONLY highlight of A Chinese Ghost Story: Eternity, IMO. I thought the series was rather boring. But the story of Lanma was really touching and bittersweet. I enjoyed the story alot! I cried when her end came. I was torn!

[Linh-e-Pooh]

the 70'ss? OMG.. SHe is THAT old?

She is 45! She started acting when she was like 15 or 16 years old (I think).

She rarely acts tough, other than her EARLIER series. Her earlier series were very very famous! She seldom acts now, because she is more focused on her family life and she tends to be more distracted with her music career.

I guess the right scripts never comes by!

[Linh-e-Pooh]

SHe is technically seperated with 2 sons. Her real life husband went to become a MONK. I seen her in MANY MANY shows & series in TVB & ATV.

She & Sheren have become GOOD friends after doing 1 of the dramas in ATV.

ATV is where she met her real life husband.

After her seperation she went to TVB and starred in the series where she got her famous nickname See Lai - Housewife.

My aunt use to live in the same building with her and she is around 45/46. (which is why I know her age)

Lam Kwok became a MONK?? *jaw drop* WOW, how weird??

[Linh-e-Pooh]

I have never seen Amy in a TVB serie, at least one that I can remember I love her ATV series however!!! Wonderful job

Hehe, I did not know about her and Sheren Tang being so close friends!!! Thats awsome, hehe. They must have had a lot to chit chat about during ACGS then!!!

How is Love in a Miracle? Is this like the 2 or 3 serie that she stars with Steve Ma in? I remember another serie where they paired togehter. My mom watched the serei and really liked it. Me, no remember, lol.

The Good Old Days was the other series where she stars with Steven Ma. Its funni, because they looked so well together and seem like they had great chemistry, but they had a very well-known despute during the filming. HAHAHA. Isnt that funny. They also starred in the series Fated Love together. Another good one!

It wasnt until the filming of Love in a Miracle that Steven and Amy made up.

Okay enough nonsense. I need sleep. It's freakin almost 4 am here in america.

I felt the same way for ACGS:E, goodness as I watched it I was falling asleep. Until Amy's story (Lanma) came up. I was crying and whelling. It was so touching and awing!

[Linh-e-Pooh]

another pic.... amy n her sister

Amy looks more beautiful, her sis only has the cute face. LOLZ. Amy has a mature and respectful look, therefore makes her more charming and enchanting. Maybe I am bias, because Amy is one of my all time favorite actress. HAHAHA. But yes, I miss her like hell! I just bought over a dozen of her seires, I'll be rewatching it alll summer. LOLZ!

I dont really think they look alike.

title : AMY WILL HOLD A CONCERT WHEN SHE DECIDES TO RETIRE
the concert is successfully over yesterday night. among all the singers, amy chan is the most popular one. after the concert, all the singers attend the after concert celebration and amy said that singing in this concert made her feel unexpectedly happy because many happy memories flashed back in her mind while she is singing. in regards to the topic of having 新 財 團 (i dont know what's that but i think it's new shareholder.), amy said it's a good thing, there will be competition, improvement, the shows will be of better quality.

amy chan sand many classic songs during the concert. when asked of she will open her own concert, she replied that she have not have the idea n the plan yet, wait till she decides to retire, she will hold a concert to fulfil the fans wish



*the first paragrah is about the same... talking about who sang in the concert and who is the special guest and blah =)*
will start on the 2nd para...

amy sang many songs during the concert, she is also the most popular singer. although there rumours about the poor sale of the tickets, 90% of the seats were occupied. when amy came out and did a small intriduction, she accidentally said a TVB show (fate of dunno-wat) but she amended the problem by saying another show (the good old days). she said she felt a bit embarassed about it and laughed =)

Hey jparadize, can you give me links to where I can buy Amy CDs. I've been trying to find as much as I can, but I can only find 4 in yesasia.com

Thanks.

And can someone confirm?
- How many childern does Amy has, I heard 2 sons??
- She divorced Lam Kwok (??) right??
- If she is divorced to Kwok, is she remarried??
- What has she been up to?
- Why isn't Turbalent Years OUT YET? Seems like an amazing series, dont u think? lolz.. The screencaps looks GREAT!

TIA

[Linh-e-Pooh]

omg? u have prob w yesasia? hmm... i have no prob w the web leh... not at all. maybe is bcos u nv follow the exact procedure?
sensasian looks too run down. haha it takes a long time to load too. i dun like that place. i prefer yesasia. =)

hahaha..

yesasia.com is better than sensasia.com because senasia.com takes decades to load.. hahahaha.. and their products takes almost 3 times longer to ship than yesasia.com

I ordered 2 movies from sensasia.com and it nearly took a month and a half to come. It was IN STOCK!

If anyone has seen her lastest series (something about the Yang family, I forgot the title) can you tell me if its good and worth watching? I am about to go by it, but wondering if its good. If its not that great, I'll wait until it dubbed into viet and watch it than, instead of buying it with english subtitles.

[jparadize]

Lam Kwok became a MONK?? *jaw drop* WOW, how weird??

HE DIDN'T BECOME A MONK. (anyway, i personally think that the temple wouldn't want to accept him in the first place. =P )

It wasnt until the filming of Love in a Miracle that Steven and Amy made up.

they didn't have a dispute while filming the good old days. they had a dispute while filming fated love instead.

-Amy has 1 son - the one and only son.
-no. she is not divorced. (well, the reporters still asked about her husband when she was preparing for the HKATV 50th anniversary concert.)
-she is not divorced so she didn't remarry.
-slacking. the 2 new shows that are supposed to be film haven't started. one of them was even canceled. so wat do u think? haha (her MOST recent show is the yang warriors. did u catch that show?)
-the turbulent years was sensored. china says that the show is TOO VIOLENT and have to cut off the scenes but in the end they decided to prohibit the show to be broadcast instead. (well, it's the first time i see amy slap ppl. i quite look forward tho but....)

the reason why sensasia is so slow cos.... it is at malaysia. yesasia is at hongkong. and hk is so much nearer to USA as compared to m'sia.
wahaha... u can be rest assured to buy the yang warriors. IT IS A GREAT SHOW!

Usually in Chinese tradition, they would have the same middle name to show their rank in the family is the same by following a Chinese poem.

the middle character is given by the ancestor.... the ancestors decide the middle name (sometimes the last character) for each generation... maybe her ancestor did not state the name for her generation. btw, it's not compulsory to follow. wat matters is whether the name is suitable for the child.
