Saturday May 06, 2006 Thailand Twins were in Bangkok, Thailand yesterday to attend the awards ceremony titled, '2006 Asian MTV Awards'. As popular candidates, they received 'Hong Kong's Most Popular Singer Award'. This award can be said to be the first major award that Twins have received so far; it is a first grade honour in the Asian area. The numbers of votes that they received were even double the amount of votes that Andy Lau, in second place, received. This time with Twins receiving 'HK's Most Popular Singer Award', in the past years, only singers such as Sammi Cheng and Joey Yung have received it before, but Twins were the first in HK to ever receive this award as a group; it has never happened before. The others who were in Top Five along with Twins were Andy Lau, Joey Yung, Leo Ku, and Eason Chan. From estimation, the reason that Twins were able to defeat all the other popular singers to receive this award is because they released their first mandarin album, 'Trainee Cupid', last year. Twins with a schoolgirl look have completely conquered the markets of Mainland and Taiwan. Their album sellings have also exceeded the amount of eight hundred thousand copies sold, and close to one million copies throughout Asia. Adding to that is their exposure in films, so they're practically popular throughout Asia. This year's '2006 Asian MTV Awards' was held in Bangkok's Siam Paragon. It is also the first time that they've held the award ceremony in Thailand, and they invited many international and Asian artistes to attend, which included Twins, Leehom Wang, Vanness Wu, Simon Webbe, Maggie Q, Se7en, Vicky Zhao, and Kang Ta, etc. The scenery attracted close to three hundred reporters of all places for interviewing. The ceremony also arranged to have a thirty-step staircase for the guests to enter through. There were already fans there waiting during noon. As the guests began to arrive, over a thousand fans started pushing and shoving, and a gate ended up being pushed over. It was fortunate that there were no accidents. As Twins entered on the red carpet, their fans were very passionate and welcoming. As walking through the carpet, they expressed jokingly that it was actually very tiring walking through there. Towards receiving this major award, they both expressed to be very excited. When it was mentioned that Twins have defeated their senior, Joey Yung, and Andy Lau and Leo Ku, they responded, "Don't refer to it like that; compared to them, we still have a long way to go. When we were walking on the red carpet, we saw Vicky Zhao behind us; she was really pretty!" As to if it will add to their pressure after receiving this award, they said, "We want to develop in many different areas, such as we haven't officially developed ourselves in Thailand yet." To handle this event, Twins have gone to learn some simple Thai. Gillian Chung said, "I've learned of how to state a few Thai sentences, and I know how to say 'We are Twins.'." Charlene Choi also expressed that she has a friend in Thailand, so she knows some simple Thai as well. Besides receiving an award, Twins and Daniel Porter have also presented the 'Most Popular Thailand Singer' award together. They both expressed that they hope for a chance to work with him. When Twins arrived in Thailand at ten in the morning, there were about thirty fans from Thailand holding up banners and presents to welcome them at the airport. There were Thailand flower hoops, fresh flowers, special foods of Thailand, and stuffed animals. The scenery was very grand and crowded. Charlene and Gillian had to be guided by their assistants to get out of the arrival section. The fans then started going out of control, so four security guards were sent out to calm them. Charlene and Gillian were completely surrounded by their fans, so they were hardly able to even move, but they did stop to provide autographs in between. The walk out of the airport was only supposed to be a few minutes, but it ended up taking ten. After a moment, Charlene's and Gillian's hands were filled with gifts; Gillian then called out to her assistant for help with a smiling face, "I don't have enough hands to carry them all!!"
