Summary translation of Charmaine's conversation:
Charmaine: Wishing everyone to be happy and smiling always – everyone will be become more beautiful when they are happy!
(Chat about dish preparation)
(Stephen asked Charmaine why is she so happy. Because she is eating the fish maw)
Charmaine: I love eating fish maw, because I think (laughs)… I like the texture. And I feel pretty after eating it.
Stephen: So it's like how you love acting with Kevin Cheng?
(Everyone laughs, someone mentioned 'got relations')
Wayne: Comparing Kevin to fish maw…
Stephen: (Charmaine) Your face is turning red!
Charmaine: Why do you guys suddenly chat about this?
Stephen: I’m just taking for instance, just like Astrid said.
Charmaine: I’ve never taste a human (jokes)
Stephen: Never tasted Kevin?
(Continue chatting to next dish)
Stephen: Well Charmaine is incredible. I heard that during childhood you like to finish every food. Been fat in the past?
Charmaine: I have bad habit. I like eating fatty pork belly, I love eating those. Maybe my condition is same as yours (Astrid – Have to eat fatty food to maintain slim figure).
Stephen & Wayne: I wish I am the same (laughs)
Charmaine: The cholesterol level is really high. But eating them is enjoyable…
Stephen: Then have you gotten rid of this habit?
Charmaine: I still eat those (fatty food) once in a while. I like eating them, but dare not eat too much.
Stephen: Do you only eat them when you are broken hearted?
Charmaine: Nope, that should be her (point to another guest and laughs)
(Continues eating next dish, Charmaine observed the preparation in kitchen)
Charmaine: I kept asking can I taste them yet?
Stephen: Charmaine is always so well mannered. For us we tasted it as soon as it was cooked.
Charmaine: Really?!
(Describes next dish, Stephen asked what’s their New Year resolution)
Charmaine: I will film a Dynasty Tang series this year, titled "Beyond the Realm of Conscience". They said that series is meant to break into the Korean market. I hope so too.
Stephen: Didn't you already break into the (Korean) market with "War and Beauty"? You’ve already entered halfway.
Charmaine: This one is purposely made to break into the market.
Wayne: Already broke into North Korea, now targeting South Korea (jokes)
Stephen: But I thought your wish is to get married this year?
Charmaine: Not so soon.
Wayne: Just started?
Charmaine: Aiyah, don't ask me anymore… go and question other people instead!
Stephen: Observe first…
Astrid: She's blushing already!
Stephen: It’s better to observe closely first… what's your requirement when selecting husband-to-be?
Charmaine: Loves me.
Stephen: In what way?
Charmaine: Treat me well.
Stephen: So if he treated another girl well in the past, does that considered not loving you enough?
Charmaine: Well it's different for each person. Everybody have past too.
Stephen: So it's ok as long as in the past? As long as it's not two timing? Is that it?
Charmaine: Definitely.
Stephen: What if he once two timed in the past?
Charmaine: I don't know about that. I won't choose.
Stephen: If you don't know then just assume that there's no such thing… (laughs)
(Charmaine observes the preparation of the crab dish and said that she loves eating crab)
(Stephen mentions about Kate rumored to be dating a PA and asked if she planned to get married, he said that Charmaine has planned already)
Stephen: (Charmaine) You will bring this up during contract renewal discussion. Saying when you plan to get married.
Charmaine: I want to. But I don't have anyone yet, how to get married?
Stephen: So you'll marry if you found someone?
Charmaine: If he is suitable I'll get married.
(Stephen wished everyone’s wishes come true… end dinner)
Lol... Stephen Chan and Wayne Lai keep teasing Charmaine.

Last evening, Hong Kong TVB held its Annual Artistes Dinner night. Under the supervision of TVB General Manager Stephen Chan, popular siusang fadans entertained with a colorful array of performances. The atmosphere was as lively as anniversary gala. Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh became the focus point as they have recently rumored to end their brief relationship, due to Charmaine feeling Kevin is too boring. Both of them did not appear as couple team during the event, seemingly confirming the rumors. However both of them indicate that they will be lovers in upcoming series [Palace Scheme].
[Palace Scheme] narrates the struggle and conflict in Dynasty Tang inner palace and was coined as Hong Kong version of [Jewel in the Palace] with Charmaine as the 1st leading actress. She said: "My character is similar to Dae Jaeng Gum, both started as low ranked palace servant and slowly reached the management level." Charmaine also expressed that this role is similar to her real life personality: "Kind, enjoy helping others, resilient, not admitting defeat and tough." She revealed that TVB hope to break into South Korea market with this series.
Kevin will be paired up with Charmaine in the series and his character is similar with [JITP]'s 'Sir Min'. However this 'Sir Min' is a 'professor in chess'. Kevin said: "Originally the script team have two suggestion for my role; one is a royal physician while another is a chess expert. Later they felt that the former is to common, therefore they chose the latter – a teacher who is responsible in teaching the courtiers to play chess." He currently trying to cram as much knowledge on this topic, hoping to give a feeling of a chess player. He also revealed there will be an important scene in the series related to chess: "I was ordered to contest an expert from Japan, the losing party will be beheaded." Mentioning his romantic scene with Charmaine, he said: "There's nothing to be embarrassed of, this is our 3rd time working together therefore we are already accustomed. Instead I feel that it's difficult filming costume series, this is my first time filming a real costume series (wearing wig) in many years."
Regarding the rumors of break up, Charmaine understatedly replied: "An artistes cannot have no news at all. I don't have any special feelings toward them anymore. Rumors will not affect my mood, I'm still living my life, having my own career."
On the other hand, when mentioned of the rumors Kevin replied: "I had too many rumors last year, hope it will be reduced this year." Regarding the rumors of his breaking up with Charmaine, Kevin stressed that they are just friends. "We have always been friends. Friends will not break up, just sever ties but we have not done so." So does the break up rumors meant an end to their relationship rumors? Kevin is not optimistic: "We are going to film [Palace Scheme] soon, they will surely write about us. Haha! Nothing can be done about it. You can say that I'm numbed of it after a year (of rumors)."

Note: Palace Scheme official English title is now: Beyond the Realm of Conscience
The reporters just won't give up. At least this article is slightly better where they actually ask about the characters in [Palace Scheme]. I think the chess Kevin refer to is the Go chess (also known as Weiqi).
Hehe... these emoticons are cute... they are designed by Little Horse. First saw them in Ah-Sheh.com and felt that they are really amusing. For more pictures, news and clips of the event, just scroll down to the posts below. Don't miss the radio clip, Charmaine's reply will surely tickle you pink!

TVB held its' Annual Artistes Dinner at BP International Hotel last night. Rumored pairs such as Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng, Raymond Lam and Linda Chung, Patrick Tang and Selena Li, Amigo Chui and Natalie Tong, Koni Lui and Dickson Wong etc. became the focus points. In addition with Tracy Yip, Suki Tsui, Yoyo Chen and other female artistes wearing low cut dresses, the 300 over advertising clients could not take their eyes of them and keep asking to take pictures together.
Most focus on the Charmaine – Kevin pair as recently there are news that Charmaine could not stand Kevin's boring personality, hence breaking up. They did not arrive at the same time, with the former walking in with Bowie Lam while the latter with Linda Chung. They did not take pictures together and the closest they get was during the group singing with Lai Lok Yi standing between them. However they are caught sharing a glance. As in previous events she'd always held Kevin arm, Charmaine was asked why her partner changed to Bowie. "This is company's arrangement, it's an honour to hold Bowie's arm." Is he more comfortable? Who is more boring? "Everyone is comfortable, actually there's not much chatting during red carpet."
Doesn't feel embarrassed, feel terrified instead.
Charmaine expressed that she doesn't know if Kevin is boring or not, but they do chat and joke when working together and the humor varies each time. Did you break up because you dislike boring? Charmaine laughed and said: "Yes, we broke up after finish filming [Forensic Heroes 2], but we will reconcile soon in February filming [Palace Scheme]." Will you feel embarrassed? "I won't use embarrassed to describe, it should be terrified instead! Because there will be many reporters visiting filming site and even following is, quite terrifying!" Why don't she find a Mr Right instead to stop the paparazzi from trailing? "I wish to! Hope I can find a partner this year!" Does that mean you are not happy with your ex-boyfriend? Charmaine avoid answering and said? "Thank you for your concern, Happy New Year!"
Kevin: I'm not boring
Kevin was asked if he feel comfortable changing his partner to Linda: "This is company's arrangement, used to it. First I would like to clarify that I'm not boring; and Charmaine have always been my friend. Friends don't break up, the most is to sever ties, but we are not severing ties. I've already responded on the report, therefore I don't want to discuss further. Instead it'll be better to concentrate in filming series." Charmaine describe your 'break up' is just temporary? "That's how the plot goes! Reporters will visit the filming site and tabloids will keep making up stories anyway. We don't really need this, we just want to concentrate filming the series." Charmaine said that you usually joked? Kevin said: "I'm actually very humorous and sporting, it's you all who doesn't know how to appreciate it!" Is it the same when together with rumored ex-girlfiend Niki Chow? "We are also friends."
Additional translation from Wenweipo:
Charmaine Sheh wore a white evening dress with a strap in front of her chest, reducing the sexiness. When reporters teased her of 'covering up', Charmaine said that the definition of sexiness is different for everyone. When asked which part does she feels most sexy, she indicates it's her eyes.
No repost allowed. Thank you for your co-operation.
Lol... Charmaine is so witty in her reply. Check out the radio interview, their reply is so funny. Don't miss the TVBE clip as well, near the end Kevin was questioned about his 'break up' rumor with Charmaine and Raymond Lam butted in and boast that Charmaine still call him 'boyfriend'. Hahaha... Kevin went dead air for a few secs and the expression on his face is priceless. "Vigarce" alarm!
p.s. Charmaine sang 至少还有你 at the event.

Recently there's news report indicating that Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh one-year relationship has ended due to Charmaine feeling that Kevin's personality is too boring. They were not arranged to appear as couple team at TVB Annual Artistes Dinner on January 20th. However they denied the rumors of breaking up.
Kevin: We are just good friends
Kevin expressed helplessness about the rumors of dating and then break up. "I can't control what other people want to write. I've said before that we are good friends. Friends will not break up, only sever ties. We are still good friends." Kevin will be filming new series [Palace Scheme] with Charmaine next month. When questioned if he is worried of the tabloids, he said: "Not worried, they will surely write something since it has news value. They probably will write about us reconciling next month."
Charmaine: Rumors are better than no news
As for her rumors with Kevin, Charmaine will just laugh it off. She frankly said that she rarely read the tabloids and only knew about the 'break up' after reporters called to verify. Charmaine was asked if she feels frustrated with the rumors: "Not really, it's not good not to have news at all!" Though it's negative news, she doesn't feel affected by it. Charmaine's role in the upcoming series [Palace Scheme] is similar to Dae Jaeng Gum. She said that the role is similar to herself as they're both kind hearted and enjoy helping others. She also hopes that this series will achieve similar success like [Jewel in the Palace].
