Wow...Gigi has a long term contract with TVB? It probably shows how good her relationship with TVB is, for them not to take any action for breach of contract
yeah i know .. i am surprised shareholders are not pushing it .. lol .. what exactly did she do really? honestly, i don't see her much in films or series. anyway, i do give her credit for taking care of her brother. i don't know many family who would go out on a limb like that for a sibling beside the parents. that's one thing i appreciate about being in an asian family, we are taught to stick together and look out for one another .. those values are something you don't see in western culture. that's why the relationship in western family ain't as close .. i gotta say, i don't know how many time i have heard parents celebrating that their kids move out or go on to college and they have the house to themselves .. i was like .. man .. i miss and worry about my kids when they're out there.
