Luckily nothing happened in the end. I believe there are aliens but fortunately I haven't encounter any or else I would be too scared to react."

Kenny said: "I take alien with a grain of salt because I haven't really seen one yet, I've only seen aliens on TV and heard about it from people. (Speaking of MC Miguel Choi (蔡康年) calling him Anthony Wong (黄秋生) earlier, does it feel unimaginable?) Hahaha, he was just playing!"

So I have to start working out, it's going to be a lot of work, I would supervise my own progress but if it becomes too much, I will ask someone to watch out for me."

Hottest topic among netizens: What is your comments about Master of Destiny series?

The new series, Master of Destiny (風雲天地) was broadcasted at 8.30pm after the finale of Wudang Rules (潮拜武當) series. Master of Destiny series was a collaboration between TVB and Mainland China company and the cast members included Liza Wang (汪明荃), Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), Hawick Lau (劉愷威), Kenny Wong (黃德斌), Angie Chiu (趙雅芝), Edwin Siu (蕭正楠) and other Hong Kong and Mainland artistes. For example: Tiffany Tang who was the bridesmaid during Hawick Lau's and his wife, Yang Mi's (楊冪) wedding ceremony and other female cast members such as Kimmy Tong (童菲), Natalie Meng (孟瑤) and others. The plot involved rise and fall of family business and love and hate relationship.

However, many netizens were unaccustomed to the cast members of the series as it was airing at 8.30pm and they also analysed the glamorous faces of the artistes. First, the netizens praised 68 years old Liza Wang had beautiful and smooth skin and her make-up was not bad. She had little wrinkles when frowning and looked like Liza had taken some preservatives though. Next, Hawick Lau is Hong Kong artiste and went to develop his career in Mainland China long ago. He married Mainland China artiste, Yang Mi and had a baby daughter together. It broadcasted 5 series starring Hawick in different television stations last month. After filming Mainland series, Hawick returned to Hong Kong and his dashing looks became the hottest topic instantly. Compared to the old series, A Kindred Spirit (真情) and as the son of 'Lee Biu Bing 叉燒炳', Hawick's looks grew up differently and transformed into a mature man with dashing appearance.

When mentioned about the representatives from Mainland China, many netizens found it hard to differentiate between Kimmy Tong and Tiffany Tang (唐嫣) who acted as Hawick Lau's younger sister and girlfriend. Both had big eyes, small noses and mouths and sharp chins. Hence, the netizens did some research on their old photos and commented: "Hawick Lau's girlfriends had extremely sharp chins!" Though it was normal to become beautiful when growing up and the make-up technology was getting advanced, but many netizens felt that the plot of Master of Destiny was too ordinary and did not know how to appreciate: "As an ordinary human being, we do not really know how to appreciate and watching old series, The Justice of Life' on the Internet is better."
