It was also rumored that Ah Sa and C-Hing dated before, but when Twins took pictures with Joey, they didn't avoid each other at all and even joked around with the rumor. Once Ah Sa saw Joey, she joked: "What's up love rival?" Joey turned to Ah Gil and laughed: "Ah Sa gets involved with the rumor out of the blue, next time it's your turn!" Ah Sa added: "If I'm with C-Hing, then are you going to rumor with Denise Ho?" Ah Gil gets dragged into the water, she just frowned and smiled awkwardly in response.

When Joey was interviewed, she told reporters first thing not to ask too much, she said: "I have to let the dog out later, don't ask too much." When asked how she's currently feeling? Joey said she's been busy with work and has not had the time or mood to go think about relationships. Asked if her relationship with C-Hing got even more complicated? She continued her style and said: "I didn't respond and the news can still go on for so long, that's past tense, it's old news! (You're on a lot of the magazine covers?) Its really been a long time since that happened." Joey again used "friendship never changed" to describe her relationship with Denise. She expressed she'll still invite Denise out for dinner in the future.

When asked if Ah Sa and C-Hing dated before? Ah Sa described the rumor as "crazy", she said: "I know why I'm part of the rumor, this way [the media] can ask me and William Chan (her boyfriend) to respond, kill two birds with one stone!" She continued and expressed a relationship that has gone through challenges and tests can become stronger. When asked if that's just like her relationship with William? Ah Sa immediately pulled Ah Gil into it: "It's just like Twins!"

Yesterday, Charlene Choi aka Ah Sa and boyfriend William Chan appeared at the press conference for Metro Radio Music Awards. The company arranged for Twin members, Ah Sa and Gillian Chung to sit on the front row and William was sat on the second row but the 3 still managed to chat regularly together. When their record company asked them to get photographed, Ah Sa and William did not hesitate to avoid standing together openly. It seems like the Twins’ increasing popularity has had a positive effect on William.

When reporters asked is William is worried about being compared to Ah Sa. Ah Sa quickly showed support and replied: “Not at all. I am very conscious of myself too, as he dances better than me and have a fitter body.”

Ah Sa defended boyfriend by changing the topic and asked reporters: “Did you watch Mr Asia? Guys wearing T-backs is very amusing.” (Will you ask William to wear one to show you?) ”No, he said it is ugly, so not wearing it.” (You two talked about this?)”A previous film wanted him to wear.” When asked about comparing William’s physique with any of the contestants for Mr Asia, who is better. Ah Sa became embarrassed and refused to answer and hinted for Gillian to help respond. Gillian laughed: “Has to be William!”

Twins' Everybody Jump up Concert will be stopping in Shanghai next month. A few days ago, the duo arrived in Shanghai for the press conference. They revealed earlier they collected opinions from Fans on the internet, many fans felt that it was unnecessary to accommodate Mandarin speaking fans and make special changes to the songs. Fans hoped to keep the classic Cantonese songs the way they are. Gillian Chung said: "Fans have followed us for 10 years, no matter if its Cantonese songs or Mandarin songs, they are very familiar with it all. They never let the language barrier get in the way."

As far as the costumes go, Twins will continue and use the costumes made for this concert and will have new costumes as well. In order to have enough time to rehearse for the concert and prepare for their new Cantonese album, Twins took the initiative and 'warned' their company EEG to not arrange too many jobs for them. Twins said: "The sponsor is currently discussing the schedule for next year, they made arrangements for a concert tour all over China."

Metro's TWINS 3650 Concert kicked off the night before last celebrating Twins 10th anniversary in the industry. The two changed into many different concert costumes, sang and dance. They performed several of their classics from the last 10 years. Although they didn't perform hot dances with their dancers, instead Twins played with water and poured water on the male dancer to attract the audience.

To contribute to the Hong Kong group singers, Twins also performed classics from other groups, such as AT17's The Best is Yet to Come and Grasshopper's Love You Forever. Charlene Choi said with emotionally: "The road for Hong Kong group singers is difficult to walk! There was one day 10 years ago when we joined EEG, they wanted us to be a group, and we were thinking are you kidding?! Did they want our singing career to end before it even starts?" Gillian Chung said: "That time, many groups couldn't get far, but later work suddenly kept coming, it's rare!" The girls performed Liu Ze Chen's Think of You, emphasizing that they will not give up, which is also the reason why Twins still exists today.

Kenny Kwan and Steven Cheung from the group BOY'Z were Twins' guests that night. BOY'Z and Twins performed Never Change Bad Habits (死性不改). The two thanked Twins for the support they gave them in the past 10 years. Kenny said: "I am very happy to see you all, very grateful that Twins gave us this opportunity to perform here." Steven said: "We and Twins have experienced several years of fierce battles, very happy that they gave us this opportunity!" Near the end of the concert, Twins performed Kite and Wind, Ah Sa was touched by the fans who sang along with them, she said with teary eyes: "I hope in the next countless 10 years, will you all still be with us?"

After the show, Ah Sa claimed they had stage fright and made mistakes in their performance. She said: "It is definitely our problem, we are 'stage fright' girls because we were nervous, and also we had to dance as soon as we appeared on stage." As for the quiet singing voice, was it the speakers' problem? Ah Gil said: "It wasn't a problem for me, but when I got to the catwalk stage, I couldn't hear anything. We already tried our best!"

Kenny said frankly that he was very nervous on stage, it felt like BOY'Z went back to the old days, Steven said: "Before we had immature thoughts, we didn't know what we were doing on stage, but this time we really enjoyed the stage and the sense of satisfaction is hard to describe. I hope there will be more opportunities, the best would be we get our own concert." Asked if they'll react to their company? Kenny said: "Take it step by step, just like our new song Ready To Go. At first when EEG heard the song, they felt it's different from the past, and finally supported us to release the single. It was only when there was pretty good response that EEG decided to shoot a MV. Later, EEG saw my outline for the MV and then said why not we release an album too. Our new album is estimated to release in October." Cally Kwong, Joey Yung and her mother, C All Star, Sa Ba (Ah Sa's father) and many more supported Twins' concert.

The night before, Twins and William Chan attended the Metro's Mandarin Music Awards. Gillian Chung was arranged to stand in between Charlene Choi and William being their light bulb and a brief episode occurred where Ah Gil's fans madly scolded Ah Sa and William on Weibo.

Yesterday at 4am, Ah Gil was angered by the Fans' behavior and scolded back at them on Weibo. She said: "What is wrong with you all? I was standing besides them all along, you all didn't know? Today it was because the fireworks got on me, and they blocked it for me. Can you all not say such hurtful things about others?" It was understood that some fans misunderstood William, that he was afraid his girlfriend Ah Sa would get hit by the fireworks, so went to rescue her and the angle looked as if he knocked Ah Gil. Ah Gil's fans were just worried their idol would get hurt and therefore scolded William and Ah Sa. Eventually fans of both sides got into a fight, fortunately Ah Gil came forward to settle the issue. Fans also apologized to Ah Gil.

Yesterday William explained that at the time, he saw the fireworks coming out hard, so he quickly covered them with his arm and stressed that his arms did not hit anyone.

At each session, we signed 2000 copies of our album, my shoulders are feeling a little sore. After all, Fans did spend cold hard cash to purchase the album, lining up to get an autograph takes about 5-6 hours too." Asked if she would ask her boyfriend William Chan to help massage her shoulders? Ah Sa said: "I just got back to HK, I know how to handle these things myself." Asked where she wants to travel to with her free air ticket? Ah Sa said: "See what place is the most expensive! (Will you tell EEG to give another ticket for William?) I will tell him to buy his own ticket, who has time to go travel with him."

She said: "Never put in the effort, don't have enough time, but I won't envy others. In fact, I already answered this several times, others dating or getting married, does not mean it's what I need too."

Popular duo Twins have been in the industry for 10 years now. The other day, Twins were shooting the album cover to their all new Mandarin album 3650. One of the covers especially goes back 10 years to Twins’ school girl look. Wearing the school uniform again, Twins still looks just like school girls like they did in the past. Ah Sa laughed: “I haven’t wore school uniforms for a long time, at first I felt some pressure because we had to do our expressions and poses from 10 years ago. Fortunately the results were ideal, going back into the young girl feeling.”

Ah Gil said: “I looked back at many of our old photos, and realized school uniforms look very similar to active wear. It is Twins symbol after entering the industry, it is part of our life experience.” On the day of the photo shoot, many of the staff greatly praised Twins school girl look.

Then Twins performed their new song 3650. Ah Sa felt it was unbelievable that in a blink of an eye it's already 10 years because there are many events that still remain fresh in her memory. As for Ah Gil, because she got her wisdom tooth removed, she appeared a bit swollen on the face. Although she tried to hide it by brushing her long hair over to her right side, her swelled face could not be covered. Ah Sa looked at Ah Gil's round face and recalls Twins used to be chubby, she laughed and said it looks like she's looking into the past.

During interviews, Ah Gil reveals that two days ago she went to the dentist to get her wisdom tooth removed. The process was painful, she said: "It felt like the doctor was pulling my head, so I had to use my hands to keep my head still! In the last two days, I could not sleep and could not talk." Ah Sa laughed as she suggested Ah Gil to stick a cotton ball on the left side of her face, so her face could look balanced or maybe she could stick a cotton ball in her mouth herself to match Ah Gil. Recently, Ah Gil is busy shooting series, is she worried that her swollen face would affect the progress? She said: "Fortunately the costume and makeup parts are already done, hopefully the future scenes are all just at a distance."

Ah Sa forgot who Pony Ma is

Many people uses Tencent QQ. All my colleagues in my company have an account. I really don't know him, I haven't even seen him before. I already forgot there was this person, forgot about the issue. Basically this news is nonsense." Yesterday outside of the event location, Twins' album covers over the 10 years were posted everywhere. Ah Sa expressed she is often re-watching Twins' old MVs lately, and discovered that most of them are pretty funny. Asked if she's afraid to look back at her old photos?

Besides her, Ah Gil suddenly repeated the subject: "Then did you So (calculate)" Though she was just trying to help her good sister get justice, but it made Ah Sa even more embarrassed. Ah Sa shook her head and fling her hands: "Not necessary, it's not necessary for me. After all, keep it good for both sides. (You may be able to get half of your ex-husband's record company?) I don't want him to split it with me." When asked why she didn't invited boyfriend William Chan as a guest? She smiled sweetly: "Ask my company. (You had requests?) Aiya, talk about it later, plan again for the next stop."
