News - August 2004

Kelly had attended Commercial Radio's live show on Thursday night and her secrets were disclosed by her friend of 20 years cum image stylist, Celia Wong. During then, Celia had revealed that one of the Chemistry teachers had liked Kelly very much. He had always asked her questions in class and when Kelly was going to leave the school, he was so sad that he almost cried. Celia had also mentioned that during the schooling days, Kelly had many suitors and boyfriends.

Besides singing her new song Phone Killing Order on stage, Kelly had brandished her swordsplay. In the segment where the fans were supposed to read out their wishes, a female fan had wished that Kelly would continue keeping in touch with her fans even if she had retired from showbiz. Hearing this, Kelly was touched by these words and tears rolled down her eyes. Towards the end, Kelly donned a pilot's uniform which is her dream career when she was young. In another part that she had need to be in close contact with a fan for 20 seconds, she had generously allowed a male fan to hug her by her waist while she sang to him.

At the end of the show, Kelly had clarified that Celia had exaggerated. Kelly had claimed that she is an introvert person and would be frightened off if people say that they like her. When asked if her Chemistry teacher had given her high marks because he likes her, Kelly's reply was that she had seldom pass for the subject. As to why he had often asked her questions, it was because that he knew her results were poor.

Kelly has no current plans to retire from showbiz even after marriage. However, if she was to have a child, she would most likely consider retirement as she would need to spend more time for child upbringing. She has yet to discuss this with her boyfriend because he would always laugh when she had asked for his opinion.

有，我化學科很少合格，他常問我問題，因為知道我成績差。（他有否同你補課 ﹖ ）啋 ﹗ 不用啦 ﹗ 」

將來會退出娛樂圈 ﹖ Kelly 說 ﹕ 「會，但不是短時間內。（是否結婚才會退出 ﹖ ）若生 BB 便會，結婚則未必，因生 BB 要全副精神教仔。（有否與男友計劃 ﹖ ）我們沒有商討過，我問他都沒有答我，只顧着偷笑。我不是心急，但都要打聽一下他的意思，再為自己打算。（好友說你曾與男友鬧交 ﹖ ）現在很少了，早前拍拖時因為互相不了解，現在我們互相信任，我們有 90 ％夾。」

Not Following The Trend

Kelly is known to be a workaholic and cautious on her look, appearing pretty at all times. However, she is not ambitious in her career. Besides liking to beautify herself, she enjoys playing electronic games.

In the latest interview with Bazaar, Kelly had mentioned that she is worried on her individual performance and will put in effort to do the best although she is not an ambitious person. Those who have worked with Kelly previously has known that she is a punctual person. She is early to start her work so that she can end them on time. On her career, she feels that she is lucky and that she is able to get good songs over the years. Without them, it is difficult for her to be popular. Besides, she does not force herself to go in trend and knowing that she has no hip hop sense, she will not follow it blindly. In the end of this year, she will have a concert and she had started preparing for it including rehearsals for Tap dancing, Waltz and Broadway dancing.

Being the spokesperson for Christian Dior, Kelly had the opportunity to travel to France to watch the fashion show and meet with reknown fashion designers. Kelly does not have a driving licence and she feels that living in Hong Kong is very convenient. If she was to be put in a remote place, she will feel uneasy as she is too used to the bustling city life. As for the electronic games that she enjoy playing, they include Tetris and Solitaire. She usually does not have much time to play them and only gets to do so during her short break.

陳慧琳拒隨波逐流自問非Hip Hop材料

陳慧琳一向被認為是工作狂、注重形象、喜歡扮靚 ﹔ 事實上，她對工作野心不大，除扮靚外，她更喜歡玩遊戲機。

Kelly 最近接受《 BAZAAR 》雜誌訪問，穿上 Christian Dior 服裝的她自言對工作要求並無野心，但卻很緊張個人表現，要做到最好。曾與 Kelly 合作的人也知道她守時的習慣，故大家也會守時，因準時開工便可準時收工。事業發展上， Kelly 自覺幸運，出道至今遇到很多好歌，歌手沒有好歌便不會紅。 Kelly 也沒有強迫自己跟隨潮流，沒有 Hip Hop Sense 便不會盲目追隨。今年底 Kelly 舉行演唱會，她早前已開始籌備，包括練 Tap Dance 與 Waltz ，還有百老匯騷。

愛鬧市感覺

Christian Dior 代言人 Kelly 有機會往法國睇騷，並跟國際知名設計師見面，這也是很好的體驗。原來 Kelly 沒有駕駛執照，她覺得在香港居住很方便，也喜歡在鬧市中的感覺，要她在四野無人的地方，她會情緒低落得嚷着要走呢 ﹗ 原來 Kelly 也喜歡打機，由砌磚到 Solitaire 都玩得好開心，平日她沒有時間打機，只有偷空玩一會兒消閒。

Liking For Taiwanese Meat Ball Soup

Kelly has a strong liking for Taiwanese food especially a Taipei specialty meat ball cooked in egg soup. She was earlier in Taiwan for Christian Dior's promotion events and her schedule was very packed. She even did not have the time to dine out but as the filming studio was near to the shop selling the meat ball soup, the staff had bought it for her as dinner. Besides the meat ball soup, Kelly also loves Taiwanese fried chicken but as it is too oily, she did not dare to eat too much. She only gave a bite to satisfy her crave. Before Kelly finally left Taiwan, she had also snatched up pastries.

Although Kelly has been busy with her work, she is also anxious about the response of her new plugged song "Phone Killing Order". She received good news that the song had the highest airplay of the week in the major radio stations in HK in less than a month. During her other promotion in China, many fans were able to sing the song as well.

Kelly情傾台灣蛋湯貢丸

陳慧琳對台灣美食情有獨鍾，特別是台北一家獨門秘方炮製的蛋湯貢丸。早前 Kelly 到台灣為 Christian Dior 宣傳，行程很緊密，連外出食飯的時間也沒有，但拍攝的影樓在那家蛋湯貢丸店附近，工作人員特別買貢丸給 Kelly 作晚餐。除了蛋湯貢丸， Kelly 亦鍾愛鹽酥雞，但太油膩緣故，故她不敢多吃，只咬了一口過口癮。 Kelly 到台灣又食又拎，臨走時帶了大袋紫晶酥回港慢慢品嘗。

Kelly 工作馬不停蹄，但她也緊張新歌《 Phone 殺令》派台的效果，她獲知好消息，新歌派台未夠一個月便連續兩周成為全港電台播放率冠軍，她表示早前返內地宣傳時，很多 Fans 已懂得跟着唱呢 ﹗

Kelly, Leon Lai, Miriam Yeung, Leo Ku, Edmond Leong, William So, Candy Lo, Alex Fong and Cookies were present at Saturday night's Mark Lui 903 Live Gig Show with the guest singers paying tribute to Mark Lui who had written many songs for them. Although Kelly has been plagued by flu during these few days, she had insisted to attend the show because Mark is a very important person in her life.

Kelly had tried singing in the show but she was unable to reach the high notes with her hoarse voice. Kelly said that she really wanted to cry for being unable to sing but she will give her moral support even though she cannot sing. She described Mark as her mentor. When asked if he was the most important man to her, she answered that without Mark, she would not be what she is today. Mark had penned over a hundred songs for her and she laughed that she would need at least 5 nights to sing them completely if she sings in the HK coliseum. Which songs are her favourite? There are too many including Wind Flower Snow and Paisley Galaxy.

In another event on Sunday afternoon, Kelly was the host for a Road Show program and she had to interview Yee Chung Man and Andy Hui. Yee Chung Man had brought along a batch of old photos that Kelly had took when she started show biz. Upon seeing them, Kelly cried that they looked too horrifying and that she preferred her present look more. To avoid spreading her flu to her boyfriend, Kelly had not met him for several days. The previous night they met and he had specially made dishes for her.

陳慧琳（ Kelly ）、黎明、楊千嬅、古巨基、梁漢文、蘇永康、盧巧音、方力申、 Cookies 前晚出席「 903 夾 GIG 音樂會」，眾歌手聯群結隊以歌聲答謝雷頌德（ Mark ），將 Mark 為他們所作的經典作品逐一演繹， Kelly 出道至今與 Mark 合作無間，雖然連日來 Kelly 感冒失聲，但她堅持出席，因為阿 Mark 是她生命中不能缺少的男人。

為她作逾百首歌

雖然 Kelly 聲沙沙，但照樣唱 Live ，不過唱到聲嘶力竭，一些高音地方更加唱唔到，她說：「真係想喊，但我唱唔到都要，精神上都要支持。」 Kelly 形容 Mark 是她的恩師，問到 Mark 是否她最重要的男人？她坦白說：「直頭係！冇佢就冇陳慧琳，所以今日點都要支持恩師。」 Kelly 透露 Mark 為她作了逾百首歌曲，她笑說：「紅館開騷都要唱五晚，
（最鍾意邊首？）好多都鍾意，好似《風花雪》、《花花宇宙》。」

陳年舊相好恐怖

此外， Kelly 昨日為「 RoadShow 紅人館」擔任主持，訪問奚仲文和許志安，奚仲文帶了一輯 Kelly 入行前由鮑德熹為她拍攝的陳年舊相給她， Kelly 看後大叫：「好恐怖，以前個樣好薯，都係而家好。」患了感冒的 Kelly ，為免將病傳染給男友，兩人已有數天沒見，前晚才見面，男友親自下廚煎奄列給她食。

Autograph Session

Kelly was at the autograph session for her new album yesterday with over 600 fans in support. Although Kelly was still sick, she had still attended the event with her coarse voice. She is currently on medication for her sickness.

Kelly gave a laugh that her body resistance is weak and she will be the first one to get sick during the peak of the flu period. Because of this, she had also spread her flu illness to her assistant and chauffeur. As for her boyfriend, he had only seen Kelly once after she was sick. After that he needed to go overseas for work and was lucky not to catch the flu from her. Her boyfriend's mother was also very caring in that she had given Kelly lozenges for her sore throat. When asked if her boyfriend will pity seeing her sick, Kelly answered that she does not know and she still has three days course of medication to complete. She believed that she would only fully recover after one week.

Only a thousand coupons for the autograph session were distributed but more people turned up then expected. As such, Kelly would do her best to satisfy everyone with an autograph. What was difficult for her was that there are several shows in her work schedule and she was unable to sing and could only play games. Yesterday evening, she also had to attend Mark Lui's Live Gig Show and she would only consider performing if she was able to.

During the autograph session, 6 little girls had dressed up exactly like the images for Kelly's new album and they had performed a mini fashion show that made Kelly very happy. Kelly had helped one of them to tie a hair like the one she done for the Cannes Film Festival. After that, she had taught the 6 "little Kellys" to do stretching exercises and demonstrated yoga movements. Kelly had later encouraged children to do more exercises during the summer holidays to train up their bodies. Besides HK fans coming to support Kelly for the event, there were also fans from Singapore and China. The first person in the queue had started queuing from the previous day's afternoon.

抱恙出席簽名活動陳慧琳拒絕見男友

陳慧琳昨日舉行「 Kelly　Stylish　Index 夏日全接觸簽名會」，為其最新大碟宣傳，有六百名歌迷到場支持，場面熱鬧。雖然患上流感，但 Kelly 仍抱恙出席宣傳活動，聲帶明顯還很沙啞，她表示現階段需要服藥治療。

Kelly 苦笑自己抵抗力薄弱，所以每趟流感肆虐，她都會很易中招，目前已傳染了兩個工作人員。為免令男友也受感染，所以她已著對方不要在她面前出現；而男友在 Kelly 患病後只見過一次，然後出差到了外地，最終都可逃過被傳染的厄運。 Kelly 自嘲都算細心，否則通常首個中招的人肯定是其男友。雖然男友不在香港，但男友的媽咪就非常關心她，更送上超強勁的喉糖。問到男友有否為她病倒而心痛？ Kelly 笑咪咪謂不知他心痛與否，自己還要多服三日藥，相信要一星期才可完全復元。

昨日大會派出一千個簽名籌， Kelly 十分感動，雖然有病在身，但仍盡量滿足所有排隊的歌迷，坦言就算簽到手軟都會撐下去。她表示最辛苦是這幾天都有工作安排，前晚出席「無線」大騷都不能唱歌，只能玩遊戲；昨晚就要出席一個電台舉行的音樂會活動，她會視乎情況才決定能否應付即場演繹。

昨日在活動中，安排了六個小朋友模仿 Kelly 最新大碟的六個造型，十分有趣，小朋友們更進行迷你花生騷，逗得 Kelly 大樂。當中有一個小朋友由 Kelly 親手幫她弄一個她出席康城影展的髮型；而她覺得最神似是那位戴珠鏈的小妹妹。隨後她又教這六個「小 Kelly 」做健身操，更示範瑜伽動作，又以大姐姐身份鼓勵小朋友們暑假期間要勤做運動，鍛煉健康體魄。當日除了香港歌迷外，還有來自不同地方的歌迷到場支持，更有歌迷為排頭位索取簽名，不惜早一日下午便來排隊，令 Kelly 十分感動。

Cancellation Of Performance

Initially, Kelly was supposed to attend yesterday's night TVB Jade Solid Gold show recording and she had also invited Alan Tam to jam a English medley with her. However, Kelly had lost her voice when she woke up yesterday morning due to her sore throat and got extremely worried. The doctor had diagnosed that she had overworked and that her flu had not fully recovered. This had then caused her to be sick and even lose her voice. The doctor's advise was to have more time for rest. As the show did not allow singers to lip sync, Kelly's manager had turned down the performance and apologised to the TV station.

TVB immediately got Jade Kwan to replace Kelly but as the time was to short, she was unable to find a guest to perform with her. With the station's help, they managed to get back Alan Tam to help out.

The reporters had later called up Kelly's manager and she had explained that Kelly was down with flu and sore throat for the past two days. She had even visited both the Western doctor and Chinese physician. As she was still unable to fully recover in time, she had to cancel the performance. They knew that Jade Kwan was to replace Kelly and regarding Alan Tam was still invited as the guest for the show, Kelly's manager had said that they owe him an apology to stand him up.

ＴＶＢ臨急臨忙，立即找來關心妍（ Jade ）頂上，據知 Jade 因時間太急找不到嘉賓遂向ＴＶＢ求助，借ＴＶＢ高層之力，邀得阿倫昨晚如期做表演嘉賓。

放飛機

記者致電 Kelly 經理人鍾珍，她說：「 Kelly 呢兩日喉嚨痛又感冒，已經中西合璧去醫，但今（昨）日都仲未好番，所以唔可以做『勁歌』。（知唔知邊個頂替 Kelly ？）知道，關心妍嘛！（佢搵番阿倫做嘉賓喎！）真係要同阿倫講句唔好意思，放佢飛機添！（聽聞 Jade 靠ＴＶＢ高層出手，先至可以搵到阿倫做嘉賓。）呢一層我唔清楚，總之阿倫好好人。」
