Finally fulfilled her mother’s wish
Selena Li took ten years to complete her university degree
Selena Li’s current love life is like a blanc sheet, besides focussing fully on her work, she also focus on her school career. Earlier, she went back to Toronto to finish her business degree study which she started 10 years ago. Last month she attended the graduation ceremony and officially became a bachelor graduate, she fulfilled her mother’s long desired wish and her study stage of her life as well.

End of last year, Selena went to Toronto to study for four months and finished her business degree study. Last month, the university held a graduation ceremony in Toronto, besides from officially ‘upgraded’ to a university graduate, she also fulfilled her mother’s long desired wish. No wonder that on her graduation day, Selena’s mother specially came to the ceremony and her behaviour was even more excited and nervous than her daughter’s. Selena said that actually in 2003 she almost finished her bachelor study, but that year she returned to Hong Kong to participate in the Miss competition for the fun and therefore quitted her study. After the competition she got contracted and became a TVB managed artist, she then worked for TVB and filmed numerous series, this way started her acting career and therefore making her school career putting her school career aside. However, at home her sisters, brothers are all university graduates, thus her mother has been hoping that she could regain her school bag and finish her bachelor study, she said: “Every year, mother would tell me to study, but I had to film series all the time and had no time for vacation, as a result that I graduate after ten years. Now I’ve finished my degree and even attended the graduation ceremony, however my mother is the happiest, she felt that I finally completed the study stage of my life.”

When Selena heard the term ‘New and Old Wife of Ma Ming’, she immediately denied so, and said, while looking at Nancy, “I’m not! Are you?” Nancy awkwardly laughed, “I don’t know. There were just reports saying so. It’s already in the past”. Selena frankly said that when her rumours with Kenneth surfaced, she was not in Hong Kong. She only knew about the rumours after she returned to Hong Kong, causing her to be very confused.

Nancy Wu Treats It as Promotion for Series
When asked if they would fall for the same guy, Selena said, “I don’t think so. I don’t like to fight over a guy. I think it would be very annoying, so I would rather not have [him]“. Nancy then said, “In general, we don’t like the same things”. As for the organizers bringing up their rumours during the event, Nancy expressed that she was told beforehand that this topic would be touched upon. She said, “Actually, there were already many reports during filming. Also, Kenneth plays a player in the current series ‘The Mysteries of Love’. I’ll just treat it as promotion for the series.

It was pointed out that if Selena hadn’t broken up with Patrick Tang, it would be a love square. Selena awkwardly said, “It’s not related”. Nancy thinks that rumours are simply an after-dinner topic, as she and Kenneth are good friends. When asked if they are friends after separation, Nancy just repeated herself and said that they are good friends. Selena expressed that she is not thinking about love matters right now. She is just leaving it up to fate.

Kenneth expressed: “I know Nancy came too, not embarrassed. It’s Selena who is the main lead here, don’t want to steal her limelight. If I wanted to avoid, then I wouldn’t have came! I just feel that there’s no need to take a picture with her deliberately.” Nancy expressed that everyone happily attended to support the main lead (Selena).

Selena felt emotional that all her good friends came to support her. Asked if she invited ex-boyfriend Patrick Tang? She said: “Yes, but he had to promote for his new music album and couldn’t make it. So it’s quite a pity because today it’s considered an important day to me, I hope his album sells well. (Did you call him to ask him for business advice?) Yes, two days ago because I was feeling too much pressure from this opening ceremony that I started crying. I called him and he comforted me.” Rising as a boss, Selena will not reduce her on-screen appearances.

Also, Linda Chung’s contract with her record company is soon to end, she expressed that she’s currently discussing a new contract, she believes that there is a high possibility for a contract renewal.

Selena’s new blog posting about her dogs:

Snowy’s new haircut- Onion head
Sorry for not updating for a long time, but I’ve been quite busy with filming and photoshoots lately! I’ve also been busy with setting up my make up school (will let you all know the details soon… hehe).
Snowy just got a new haircut and it looks like a 洋蔥頭. It’s so cute! haha…. It’s so fun to give her new haircuts because she has so much fur that I can totally change her look every time! But no matter what, I think she’s still very cute! Naughty just got a normal cut, maybe next time, I’ll try something funny on her too!

[AFOS] official website; I have translated the character description, check out!

Being an artist you will not have to sacrifice your private life only, Selena felt that there are too few breaks as well, which is another bitterness of an artist, she said: “Actually I’m a sleepyhead, but being an artist we have to work at an irregular timing, moreover our filming is in a hurry, I often have to overwork at night, sometimes I finish working at midnight but a few hours later I have to start working again. After returning home to shower I’ll have to return for work, I’m not able to sleep at all, my skin became worse!”

Coffee from TV King
Everyone knows Moses Chan is an expert in Coffee!  It was really nice of him to bring his own coffee maker and his home-made coffee beans to brew coffee for us!!  He said he roasted the coffee beans himself, which is really impressive!!!  During our late nights filming, it’s definitely nice to have a nice cup of 視帝咖啡!  Thanks Moses!!!!

It’s 4am and i just got home from work!
It’s 4am and i just got home from work! I haven’t been online for a long time because I have been quite busy filming….so not much time to update my blog! I just realized I have some photos for a CNY function in which I didn’t update yet…hehe….in this function, I had to play the piano live with a female Chinese orchestra! Although I finished grade 10 piano when I was living in Canada, I haven’t practiced piano for a long time, so I was really nervous to perform. I also got a chance to try out the guzhang that was made of Jade! It was beautiful and they told me that it costs $1.5 million dollars!!! That is the most expensive musical intrument I have even laid my hands on! Although I can’t own it, at least I got a photo of me playing it! haha
