Miriam Yeung: Extremely High Spirits, Felt Like Rowena Lam
Macau Torch Bearer, Ran Too Fast

Miriam Yeung was the torch bearer for Macau. Yesterday, she was responsible for the relay run from Star World Hotel to Wynn Macau Resort. She was in extremely high spirits. She would continuously wave to the fans and crowd on the tour bus and while she was running. She jumped up and down as per the reporter’s request for the pictures. She said that she was emotionally overloaded and felt a bit crazy. When she started her run, she felt like Rowena Lam*. She was running too fast and the workers asked her to slow down. Miriam’s parents dressed up for the event to see her. But they received the wrong information and stood in the wrong location so they didn’t see her carry the torch. Miriam and her parents feel very disappointed about it.

Miriam was the 16th runner. She appeared to be very excited when she received the torch. She had a wide grin on her face and ran fast. But she was running faster and faster so the blue-clothed workers asked her to slow down. After she finished her mission, she rode a specialized bus. She peered out the window, waved to the fans and continuously yelled: “Add oil China (Continue on with the effort China)â€

Funniest story yet!

"Our whole family are Christian. Edison became Christian first, and then the whole family followed. Ever since he was young, he went to a Christian school. He was baptized when he was at school."


:roll: :lol:

I notice Chen's sister is "TRICIAN" in this article. Should we add that as an Alias in here DB entry here, or does it look more like a mistake on the part of the writer? A Google search of "Trician Chen" does bring up additional hits under that name. Also, I think we should make her main DB name "Chen", not "Chan" as it is now.

Agree on both counts.

Trician does seem to be used frequently. Even on Yesasia:

While those picture are not untypical of Bai Ling, they aren't the first from the set of "Crank 2" to circulate on the internet.

There are a bunch of pictures of Amy Smart, topless except for Xs of black tape over her nipples including a few of a gaffer or grip or whatever trade does such things applying the tape.
