Louis Vuitton and the Peninsula Hotel reopened its new LV concept store
yesterday (1/25). Vivian and the LV Asia-Pacific region chairman Mr. Francois
Delage were the guests at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening.
Joe Ngai Jan and Vivian have been in a relationship for many years. Vivian
said both of them don't have plans on getting married. Last year, Joe
started to give red packets of lucky money, and that's why this year,
Vivian also has an itch to give red packets, so everyone has a chance
to receive a red packet from her.
For the grand opening yesterday, Louis Vuitton treated Vivian with extreme
importance. Besides specially transporting the newest LV spring/summer
series clothing from France to HK for her to wear, they also transported
an Emprise Champs-Elysees limited edition set of jewelry, which is one
of a kind in the world, for her to wear.
Giving red packets is a happy matter
Chinese New Year is arriving soon, and Vivian would be staying in HK to
accompany her family and friends. She said, "Last year, my boyfriend
started giving red packets, and this year, I also want to give them. Giving
red packets is a happy matter, and it's good luck. The person receiving
it would be very happy, and I would be very happy giving it." However,
Vivian emphasized she wouldn't be giving 2 red packets and said, "Joe
can give his [red packets], and I'll give mine!"
Vigorously preparing for pool competition
During Chinese New Year, Vivian has to work hard practicing pool. She's
about to participate in HK's first "American Pool 8-Ball League."
She wasn't able to practice pool recently because she's been sick for
the past 2 weeks, and the pool competition starts 1 week after Chinese
New Year, so she needs to vigorously prepare for the competition. She
said, "I don't have any ambitions to be the champion and didn't think
about becoming a professional player. I just want to influence more females
to learn how to play pool. I'm already very happy knowing that a girl
learned to play pool because of me. I hope an HK woman would be able to
participate in the Olympics for pool. Some fans asked me if I could teach
them, but my skills aren't good enough yet to teach others. I'll need
to upgrade myself first."
Vivian was asked if she was able to keep her good body shape for all
these years because of playing pool. She said, "It should have helped,
because I often have to stand. I especially like practicing pool after
eating dinner, and standing is pretty good."
Also, Vivian would continue to work together with LV. LV had tried to
contact her to work together several times before, but they weren't able
to coordinate their schedules. She's planning to choose a Chinese New
Year gift for her boyfriend from the LV store.
