YoYo to Cook in Love Nest
Waiting to Become Mrs. Ekin Cheng

Ekin Cheng and YoYo Mung has been dating for a year and a half. Earlier, Ekin paid HK$30 millions and bought a luxury house in South Bay as a love nest. Yesterday, the loving pair went to Happy Valley to buy furniture. The female owner, YoYo, was in charge the entire time. She decided to order +HK$1 million worth of furniture. It seems the pair is splurging on their love nest. Is a wedding nearing?

The romance between Ekin and YoYo have lasted for one and a half years and counting. Ekin and YoYo is stuck to each other with glue. They usually appear together to play badminton, ride bicycles and other activities. The relationship between the pair is very stable and there were numerous reports of marriage. Ekin still lives in his Sai Kung Marina Cove which was the love nest of ex-girlfriend GiGi Leung. YoYo doesn’t want Ekin to be reminded of the past so she wants him to find a new house. Also, Ekin wants to be able to have a home to welcome his beauty soon. At the end of last year, Ekin paid HK$28 millions for a 6000 feet 雅景閣 resident with a deluxe view. He is building a love nest for YoYo.

Lately, YoYo and Ekin have been busying themselves to decorate their love nest. Yesterday, this newspaper discovered the loving pair buying furniture together. Ekin and his girlfriend drove to a furniture store in Causeway Bay. They looked around the store for a while and left. They went to an Italian furniture store called Boffi in Happy Valley. This store specializes in making unique furniture for their clients. The Boffi brand is well received by famous international people like Madonna, Maria Callas, Robert De Niro and others.

At the location, Ekin and YoYo appeared to be familiar with the layout of the store. The workers at the store immediately welcomed them to the store. They also showed them drawings which was prepared ahead of time. Afterwards, they went to a kitchen showroom to look at the measurements. As the new owner of the home, YoYo was especially interested in a stove worth HK$1.3 million. She was in discussion with the store employee. The selling point of the stove is it uses volcanic rocks for the grill. No wonder it captured YoYo who loves to go into the kitchen. Once, she made a birthday cake for her boyfriend. Ekin was looking around and didn’t really talk. His girlfriend was in charge and he would nod his head to agree with her. Afterwards, the pair placed the orders for the kitchen; they went to pick out the bathroom pieces. They stayed for one hour and quickly left. When they left the store, they saw the reporters. Ekin told his girlfriend to quickly get into the car and he drove away.

The newspaper spoke with Ekin about the reports that YoYo told him to buy a new resident. Ekin said: “I moved to a new house because I liked the location. No one told me to buy it.” The reporter asked about the love nest. Ekin sweetly replied: “You guys are too sensitive. No, it is not.”

I've been reading bits 'n pieces about the quiet backlash against the casting (and, originally, the potential casting) in this movie practically since it was announced several years ago. It would have indeed been nice to see more Asian actors in the correct roles, but thanks to Mizrich's renaming of Jeffrey Ma to the anonymous—and caucasian-sounding—"Kevin Lewis" in the book, no doubt with Ma's approval, perhaps the suits figured it really didn't matter who played the role, as long as they had some buzz (as Jim Sturgess appears to have after ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL). Interestingly, few mainstream reviews of 21 actually mention the change in ethnicities, which shouldn't surprise as I don't recall "Kevin Lewis's" actual heritage even being mentioned in the original novel. I could be wrong, since I was probably too busy fish-eyeing Mizrich's suspiciously sexed-up take on the tale . . .
