Time: 7:30pm to 10:30pm

Place: TVB City 3rd production area

People: Sammul Chan, Ron Ng, Ha Yu (I think he's the host), Hong Tin Ming (dunno if he has an english name, but it's Sammo Hung's son), Nikki Chow (I think that's her name), Four model girls.

Preface:

I never thought that this program would film for longer than three hours, so everyone wasn't prepared and came without first eating dinner. In the end, after the filming and adding on the time spent mucking aorund with Sammul outside and waiting for the Taxi, it was already past midnight by the time I returned home. But having no dinner is okay, everyone was full on what they had seen!

Clothing:

Sammul's Fashion Check of the day - Black jacket, whire shirt with blue dots, his jeans were those baggy hip-hop ones where you could walk into a supermarket and steal a bag of rice without anyone noticing, A red checked belt (this was quite special), Silver shiny tennis shoes (from the RMK function)

"Low Profile" Sammul Fans:

The filming this time was in the third production area, a very small recording studio. In the game show there were four female modles. Sitting in front of us were two young males holding up a sign waying "KAWAII", and when we asked, they were actually fans of one of the girl models who's name was KAWAII, the model was quite cute. When Sammul and the other guests entered, the cameraman told us to yell out "Pak Kiu", but we said no, we're very low profile. When Sammul stood on the stage as the paparazzi took pictures, we suddenly all yelled out loudly "SAMMUL"! In the end, aside from scaring Sammul (who put on his usual evil cracking up face), we even scared the boys sitting in front of us, and heard someone say "they're low profile?"

The cheeky floor boards:

The set had a metal part on the floor that was sitting slightly higher than the rest of the floor. This little metal part tripped up Sammul, Ron and the model girl who was on our side. First it was Sammul, when running across he tripped dramatically on the metal, and he might have even kicked up a small piece of something. rofl. It was so loud, and a bit embaressing. Then in the middle Ron tripped on it a little. In the end even the model girl wasn't lucky enough to miss it, and because she was wearing high heels, even her shoe came off, and she almost fell onto the floor. Luckily Ronw as standing beside her at the time and held her up.

Covering everything:

It's obvious that Sammul is a very exam orientated person, always thinking of ways to make his answer correct. For example in the first part of the game show it was a segment where they had to watch a bit of footage and then answer questions, and one of the questions was the implied meaning behind "Zi Sun Chi" (beats me if I know... something about the measure of generations?). The players had to write the answers up onto a white board. Sammul was responsible for the wrting in his team (and Ha Yu complimented that his writing was very nice), and he almost write out an essay, writing down so many answers to cover every aspect!

Active 11:

One of the quesitons was a numbers one, asking the meaning of certain numbers in the names of TV shows, and the question was asking what the number "11" meant in the show "Active 11"? The answer was that it was the 11th year of TVB's acting class, so Ha Yu asked Ron which year he was from, and Ron said that he was from the 1st year (of course Sammul didn't let go of the chance to call Ron an "elder"). And then Ha Yu asked Sammul which year he was from, and Sammul answered: "I don't have a year/I'm terminal!" (Umm, this one is a bit hard to explain, in cantonese, the word which means "end" and the word which means "don't have" both is pronounced "muut" (or mo/mei for mando speakers). Anyways, the word "Kei" (Qi) can be both the "Year" or "Date" and to say "Muut Kei", Sammul was trying to say he didn't have a "year" because he didn't come out from TVB's acting class, but he was joking and used the same sounding words to say that he was "No date" as in "Terminal")

Hearts:

The other team consisted of Hung Tin Ming and Nikki Chow, and maybe because they were on a mental block (not Hung Tin Ming's fault), they rarely answered any quesitons right, so when answering the questions they jokingly drew two love hearts to "bribe" the host. However, when Sammul's team came to answer the questions they also drew on two love hearts, Sammul saying "They can draw hearts, we can draw hearts too!", and on the next answer, he even increased it to four hearts! Hahha, they really shouldn't compete with him, he'll always find a chance to repay them back "N" times!

Nurses:

In one of the segments there was a very large prop which was a shoe about to step on something. The questions were asked and the two teams had to fight to answer them, and the team that answered both had to put part of their body under the shoe, which would step on them if they got the answer wrong (it looked really scary, even had smoke coming out). At this time, two models dressed as nurses would come on, the nurse for the EU team (Ron and Sammul) was cuter, and Sammul often made her laugh, pulling on her so she couldn't go over to the other team to attend to their "wounds". One time, the EU team answered wrong and got stepped on, Sammul pretended to faint on the ground, perhaps he was waiting for the nurse to come save him, but before the nurse got there, Hung Tin Ming had already rushed forward to give Sammul "mouth to mouth" rofl.

Foot Massage:

One of the questions had a guest Master that came on to perform a series of fist fighting stances, and Nikki Chow jokingly commented that she recognised the Master as a foot massager. Sammul then jokingly asked whether the kung fu Master would before massaging ask "Miss, do you want some foot massage?" and then first show her some kung fu stances. He even copied some of the kung fu stances, it was very funny. Sammul's childhood ADHD was on play last night, using a lot of energy to create a good show.

Wing Chun Fighting Stances:About the Master, he was actually there for a question concerning Wing Chun fighting stances, and was there to show them an example. The question was what other name is Wing Chun fighting stances also known by? No one there had seen Ip Man (movie about Wing Chun I guess), so nobody knew the answer. Ha Yu then gave them a hint, saying that the name could also be used to describe Sammul. So the answers began to fly everywhere, and a Granny and Audience even said "Yu Nu (Virgin Girl) Fighting Stance", scaring Sammul to jump up and yell "Me? Virgin GIRL??" rofl. Us "Low Profile" fans tried to give tips by mouthing "Jun Zi (Gentlemen) fight stance" (At least we made him a Gentleman...Kaka), but Sammul didn't get us at all, and then he even wrote down a large number of answers including "Liang Zai (Handsome) fighting stance", "Suo Xing (Cool) fighting stance" etc. In the end the answer was "Shao Ye (Young *rich* Master) fighting stance" and Sammul quickly said to Ha Yu, "you should've said Raymond Lam instead!"

MY EU:During the times when they were changing the set, everyone relaxed and rested. Sammul was chatting to the model nurse during this time and because their microphones weren't turned off we could hear what they said. We guessed that the model nurse said to Ron "You series EU", so Sammul jumped in saying "Why do you not say MY series EU? His series EU is also MY series EU!" and even said a couple of practiced sentences. The model nurse could only laugh. (the translation on this one a bit dogey...)

David Lu:The last segment was a bit like "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", and they got guest star David Lu to be the host, asking about "EYT" (a really popular old TV show in HK). The questions really required someone in Mother's generation to answer, everything was dated about a decade ago. One of the questions was how many episodes of EYT was broadcasted over the 27 years it was on tv? Sammul quickly took out his cellphone to use as a calculator, one week is five nights, one year has fifty two weeks, times by twenty seven... His partner Ron SLOWLY read out each of the options on the multiple choice, purposely dragging the time on so Sammul could calculate, hahaha! David Lu kept giving tips, and even saying that his clothes that night was very "undercover"-like (he wore a T-shirt with a picture of a "tie" on it), Sammul immedietely told Ron to wear the same thing and see!

Goodbye Hug:When the program ended, Sammul when to hug the model nurses goodbye, and even signalled to us in the audience to keep the secret, haha! After hugging all four of the models, Hung Tin Ming realised what he was doing and demanded that he get to hug them too! In the end, they said that only the winners were allowed to hug them, haha!

Okay, that's the end of the program, the other bits are about the fans meeting Sammul out in the car park. He was nice enough to stop his car for them and go out to chat and sign autographs and take pictures! *lucky fans*
