书纭出门准备上班，和同时出门来的福星碰个正着，福星热情向书纭搭讪，却换来书纭冷淡的回应，福星只能看着书纭离开，一面嘀咕不已。
丽珊跟在金宝后头出门，见到水莲拿金鱼出来，顽皮地调侃水莲，还故意叫水莲作阿莲，惹水莲不高兴。金宝不明白丽珊为何要惹水莲不高兴，说出年少时就是为了叫阿莲，结果两人经常大打出手，导致后来成了兄弟。丽珊却时觉得惹水莲不高兴是乐事一桩，还赞水莲脾气好。
水莲送金鱼去给莫灵光，说出要去领奖，莫灵光大为紧张，为水莲系上领带，探问上电视的时间，过后还到咖啡店向众人炫耀水莲的本事，才发现水莲对秀珠和洪天隐瞒了这件喜事。
水莲领奖后，特意到书局看书纭，但却没胆量接近书纭，还在匆忙中胡乱拿了一本书，让书纭觉得好笑。水莲接受电视访问时，私自改了莲为无草头的连，引来秀珠大发脾气，水莲不明白为何秀珠反应如此之大，想及多年来不被秀珠疼惜的往事，不禁难受，向金宝吐露心事。
明财高楼抛物，被控上法庭的事被金土说穿，招来玉燕的幸灾乐祸，爱珍气极，但又无可奈何。
Honey发现金宝找来的化妆品为假货，于是拒绝代为销售，金宝只好在咖啡店向众人兜售，玉燕，爱珍都买下一大把。结果用了过后，脸上都出了红诊，众人来找金宝算帐，搞到金土大为光火。
高楼抛物，组屋被没收，明财和爱珍商量过后，决定打丽凤的主意，要搬进金土家。

众人因为手榴弹疑云，搞到一早上做不到生意，纷纷要求赔偿，金土和明财两人互相要对方负责赔偿，玉燕爱珍也加入战团，最后还是丽凤答应负责赔偿，才平息众人的不满。

浓浓咖啡乌主演：钱治钢、向云、蔡平开、刘秋莲、刘谦益、王裕香、陈天文、陈国华、沈玮峻、赖怡伶、乐 瑶、黄玉霞、章缜翔
人事几翻新，当年的大四美猪杂汤摊摇身一变，成了今时的大四美咖啡店，坐落于大巴窑购物街。这咖啡店乃当年金土与四名妹妹及亲家郑三两合资买下交由金土打理，但金土依旧保有游戏人间的本性，把咖啡店的生意交给妻子丽凤掌管，自己经常到处走动玩乐到联络所学排舞。
咖啡店生意惨淡时曾一度抄袭快餐店的经营方式进行改革，但因不合时宜而闹了许多笑话。
金土发现联络所开办交际舞，加上教舞老师长得漂亮，也心痒难耐报名参加，结果被妻舅明财挑拨离间，指他临老入花丛，与妻丽凤几乎闹家变。
洪金宝（沈玮峻饰演）是金土唯一儿子，遗传了金土爱吹牛的秉性。小学就辍学，但又不甘愿一辈子待在咖啡店里帮忙，天天在做发财梦，只想不劳而获。当经济不景气生意大不如前时，三番几次游说金土把咖啡店卖掉，希望能分上一笔钱，却常常招来金土的责骂。经常周游在购物街，与众商店老板熟络，实乃探听赚钱的门路。
后来旧同学介绍他到中国投资种植龙眼树兼推销，于是金宝说服咖啡店众人集资投资，结果却原来是个骗局，搞得大家血本无归，众人心有不忿，要金宝负责赔偿，金宝无法面对，众人只好找金土索赔，金土一气之下，血管爆裂一命呜呼，金宝经历了这一串事件后，终于浪子回头。
咖啡店鸡饭摊主陈明财（刘谦益饰演）是丽凤的异姓弟弟，当年搞婚外情，弄大了王爱珍（王裕香饰演）肚子，被逼与原配李妹离婚另娶爱珍为妻。因为组屋被没收，只好投靠丽凤，一家三口住进金土的家。
明财和金土素来互看对方不顺眼，可是却住同一屋，又在咖啡店里天天见面，因此经常有磨擦发生，搞到丽凤两边为难。明财为人好赌，怕老婆，后来听从爱珍的献议搞到金土和妻儿失和，试图从中获利，但最终害自己。
王爱珍当年在咖啡店里当啤酒妹，和有妻女的明财搞上，怀了孕便迫使明财离婚。贪婪的爱珍并不甘心一辈子卖鸡饭过活，知道有人有意购买咖啡店时，唆使明财挑破离间金土一家失和，想从中捞一笔油水。后金土去世，爱珍做手脚，搞到咖啡店不能经营下去，众摊主也因为不能忍受爱珍的霸道而欲收档不做，咖啡店面临关门，丽凤只好说服众股东变卖咖啡店。
爱珍以为钱快到手，就与明财去旅行挥霍，结果把钱都输光，谁知道丽风与金宝商量之后决定不卖咖啡店，由金宝来打理。美梦破灭，爱珍发狠向大耳窿借钱再上赌船去搏杀，最终又输光，难以接受事实的爱珍茫然跳海自杀，幸好被救，最终向丽凤忏悔。
和金宝一起长大的Stella（赖怡伶饰演），天资聪敏，考上大学医科，但对母亲金花当年遗弃她到香港演艺圈发展很不满。当金花由港回来，Stella故意冷淡对待，实乃要引起母亲的注意力。当金花前男友文隽（黄奕良饰演）从国外回来与金花重续前缘时，Stella更自暴自弃，荒废学业表示抗议。直到金花患上乳癌，才猛然发觉亲情的重要。
傲气的Stella看不起咖啡店众人，更忌妒水莲（王德远饰演）考获奖学金，却不知水莲对她暗生情愫，后来和水莲，丽珊产生一段三角关系。（九度网剧情频道 http://juqing.9duw.com 电视节目表）
陈丽珊Randy（乐瑶饰演）自小眼见母亲被明财抛弃，对父亲与继母怀着怨恨，不时想要赚钱离开这个家，同时羡慕Stella的被宠爱，仰慕水莲的聪明才学，暗恋着水莲，却又不敢表示。
丽珊和金宝名为表兄妹但却没有直接血缘关系，两人是一对欢喜冤家，金宝知悉丽珊暗恋水莲后经常取笑她自不量力，更令到一向洒脱的她不敢向水莲示爱，实际上金宝喜欢丽珊，只是吊儿郎当的他几次示意都被丽珊当作是开玩笑。
鱼粥鱼头米粉女摊主秀珠（李茵珠饰演）十分迷信，当年难产生下水莲时相信莫灵光（云昌凑饰演）的话，说母子相克，只要水莲命运好，她的命运会更糟，因此对水莲很冷淡。面对母亲冷漠对待的洪水莲自小就勤奋用功，还获得奖学金，被封为咖啡店状元。尽管好事轮不到他，坏事却要他却承担，加上母亲偏爱坦护弟弟洪福星（章缜翔饰演），水莲依然对父母孝顺，一次隐约听到母亲背地里提起他是克星，他心存疑惑去向莫灵光求证，但却得不到答案。
莫灵光当年的确批过水莲是秀珠的克星，叫秀珠将孩子送人养，但秀珠不舍，于是灵光建议孩子称呼秀珠为婶婶，同时孩子命硬，秀珠命中又缺水，把孩子取名水莲，令到水莲往后常被取笑。莫灵光收了水莲做干儿子，后来知道搞了大乌龙心里一直有内疚，但因为面子问题也就将错就错，而且见到六婶的次子失常，一直担心有报应，因此对水莲极为照顾作为赎罪。
水莲弟弟出世时，莫灵光批过八字说他是福星，故取名洪福星。自小被秀珠宠爱，不思长进，ITE毕业后正待入伍，后来与林佩玲Pauline（黄玉霞饰演）交往做了未婚爸爸。
佩玲趁机勒索，逼得福星偷父亲洪天（梁田饰演）棺材本，洪天发觉后大怒，水莲挺身而出替弟弟背黑锅，慌称是自己偷钱和同学一起赌股票赌输了，洪天还在半信半疑时，秀珠已经大发雷霆认定是水莲胡为，在盛怒下揭露了水莲是克星之事。
洪天欲阻止己不及，难受的水莲再次向干爹求证，莫灵光终于承认有此事，水莲感到委屈难过，茫然失魂踏过马路，被车子撞倒昏迷不省，莫灵光感内疚，酒醉向金土一家说出隐藏心中多年的秘密。真相大白后，秀珠寸步不离的守着昏迷的水莲，后悔自己太迷信。
当年爱搬弄是非的六婶（蔡平开饰演）在次子沈健义（陈国华饰演）失常后，以为长子沈健忠是养老的依靠，卖了组屋资助健忠周转，谁知道后来被长子夫妇赶走，幸好得到三子健仁（陈天文饰演）的收留才有安身之所。
健仁曾经加入黑社会，改过自新后，一直隐瞒身份，和玉燕（刘秋莲饰演）在咖啡店卖西餐为生，玉燕经常为了孩子和咖啡店里一些小事与卖鸡饭的明财，爱珍起冲突。直到金宝拖车拖到危险人物坏仔兴的车子，惹怒对方追到咖啡店，眼见金宝有危险，健仁出来干涉，才被众人知悉身份。
虽然健仁有孝心，但六婶依旧口没遮拦，到处说是非，结果和玉燕婆媳不和，在众人的唆使下，六婶上法庭告儿子不肯奉养，搞到健忠很没面子，大媳妇秋瑾对给赡养费很不满意，结果被失常的健义杀死。
咖啡店里众人经过了一连串的风风雨雨，最终意识到人情可贵，只要众人齐心合力，还是能在困境中求生存，购物街人流不断，不同的故事天天还继续在搬演……

4 Mar 2010 - He didn't tell fiancee about onscreen kiss
WHILE other actors have taken the 'good guy roles' path to fame, playing the villainous Robert Zhang in the hit 2008 local drama The Little Nyonya has done wonders for Zzen Chong's nine-year showbiz career.
Previously, he played mainly supporting roles.
It has led to the Singapore-based Malaysian actor's big break - playing the lead role for the first time in the drama, Priceless Wonder.
Zzen, 32, rose to overnight infamy after his character in The Little Nyonya raped two Peranakan women (played by MediaCorp actresses Jeanette Aw and Joanne Peh).
Till today, people shout out 'Robert Zhang' when they pass him on the street, he said.
In Priceless Wonder, which is currently showing on Channel 8, Zzen plays a kind-hearted boy who gambles to support his family and falls in love with a nice girl (played by Malaysian actress Tiffany Leong).
But she hates gamblers and Zzen's lovestruck character then lies to her that he is a property agent.
And for the first time, Zzen has a passionate kissing scene in the drama. In the last episode of Priceless Wonder, Zzen and Tiffany lock lips while caught in a tight embrace.
His only other on-screen smooch - a light peck - happened eight years ago with ex-MediaCorp actress Joey Ng in the Channel 8 drama Kopi-O.
Zzen claimed that he was not nervous filming the kissing scene as he and Tiffany knew each other well from having co-starred in two previous dramas.
And they were so caught up in the moment that they continued kissing even after the director had yelled 'cut'. The pair kissed for more than three minutes.
But the scene got him into trouble with his fiancee.
Zzen said: 'My fiancee was very mad at me because I didn't tell her about the scene.
Slipped his mind
'I wanted to the first day we shot it. But because it was an unsuccessful take, it slipped my mind and I forgot to tell her when it eventually happened.'
Zzen met his slim, long-haired, 1.71m-tall bride-to-be eight years ago after being introduced to her by local actress May Phua's husband.
She was a part-time model then. They shared the same love for music and travel, and eventually fell in love.
The first time he had wanted to propose was in a lavender flower farm in Hokkaido last August.
Unfortunately, the big crowd that turned up at the popular tourist spot that day made him abandon his plans and he had to endure the rest of the eight-day trip with the engagement ring safely tucked away.
The proposal finally took place in Bintan, a few weeks after the Hokkaido trip, at the Banyan Tree resort.
Zzen had asked the waiter to put the ring on his fiancee's dessert plate - amidst the strawberries.
The shy guy originally planned to go down on one knee but once again lost his nerve when he saw the two waiters watching him.
The couple will get hitched in December in either a sunset beach wedding or a swanky yacht affair complete with champagne and white wine.
Zzen said he wants two kids, a boy and a girl. 'I am a very romantic person. I'm thinking of hiring the videographer who filmed (Malaysian singer) Fish Leong's beach wedding although it will probably cost US$4,000 ($5,600).
'I also don't think my popularity will waver after I'm married because I think in Singapore, people don't really care about such things. In fact, the biggest local stars are all married.'

She was a part-time model then. They shared the same love for music and travel, and eventually fell in love.
The first time he had wanted to propose was in a lavender flower farm in Hokkaido last August.
Unfortunately, the big crowd that turned up at the popular tourist spot that day made him abandon his plans and he had to endure the rest of the eight-day trip with the engagement ring safely tucked away.
The proposal finally took place in Bintan, a few weeks after the Hokkaido trip, at the Banyan Tree resort.
Zzen had asked the waiter to put the ring on his fiancee's dessert plate - amidst the strawberries.
The shy guy originally planned to go down on one knee but once again lost his nerve when he saw the two waiters watching him.
The couple will get hitched in December in either a sunset beach wedding or a swanky yacht affair complete with champagne and white wine.
Zzen said he wants two kids, a boy and a girl. 'I am a very romantic person. I'm thinking of hiring the videographer who filmed (Malaysian singer) Fish Leong's beach wedding although it will probably cost US$4,000 ($5,600).
'I also don't think my popularity will waver after I'm married because I think in Singapore, people don't really care about such things. In fact, the biggest local stars are all married.'

2 Mar 2010 - Lost & Found 最火搭档
Updated with more cast: Rui En 瑞恩 and Zoe Tay 郑惠玉 take on the main leading female roles in the new CID/Informant drama ‘Lost & Found 最火搭档’! 剧中两名女主角是“亦敌亦友”(一老一少) 的矛盾关系，她们必须互相帮助，却又互相憎恨。
Rui En’s dream of playing someone who can fight like Jackie Chan will be fulfilled. She will become the CID Officer nicknamed ‘老大’ (her staff secretly call her ‘排骨精’ behind her back). 自小受到母亲的影响，灌输她这世界就是个大竞技场的观念，做任何事就如一场比赛，输了就是失败者。因此，她对输赢非常执着，养成她好强争胜的性格。
为了破案，她会使用手段，有时显得不近人情。因为她加入警队本就不为了伸张正义，维护治安。对她来说，警界是个不断往上爬的竞技场。但后来接触到Zoe Tay，让她逐渐了解，帮助人得到的满足感更大，可是…习惯成自然，为了帮助人，她依然不择手段。
Zoe Tay plays the role of a 警察卧底、警方线人、表面身份是小食店老板, Zoe 被训练成忍辱负重的性子。为了达成任务，她牺牲许多又坚持下去，显出她强韧的一面。没错，她认真起来是很可怕的。平常笑容可掬，擅于与人打成一片，给人毫无杀伤力的感觉，因此那些罪犯都不防范于她，也因此她交游广阔，便利于打听消息。接触了不少失踪案，越查越上瘾，以寻回失踪者为己任。
‘Lost & Found 最火搭档’ (20 episodes) is the new CID/Informant drama (thriller police genre like 破茧而出 Metamorphosis). Both characters will be linked to another mysterious CID lead role played by Tay Ping Hui 郑斌辉. Other cast include: Andie Chen, Kola Zhou, Shaun Chen, Joshua Ang, Paige Chua, Pei Xuan, Zheng Ge Ping, Rayson Tan, Wang Yu Qing, Brandon Wong, Zzen Zhang, Chen Tian Wen, Ong Ai Ling, Koh Yah Hwee, Zhu Hou Ren, Lin Mei Jiao, etc.
‘Lost & Found 最火搭档’ 监制：袁树伟 and 故事/编审：彭凯毅. Telecast on Channel 8 from 4 August at 9pm. Rui En has gotten all her dream roles, what’s next? The 30s songstress? Or simply retired? (Just kidding).

The Man behind the Devil’s Face
Robert Zhang in “The Little Nyonya” is probably Zzen’s most memorable character. His stinging stare, evil laughter, thunderous voice and superb acting in the record-breaking drama series is probably still fresh in the minds of fans. It is no wonder why producers love picking him to play the baddie roles since the start of his career in 2001. But who is this man behind the devil’s face? Channel 8 finds out more about Zzen in this exclusive interview.
1. This is your first leading role in a drama (Priceless Wonder). How is it different from your previous roles?
差别在于场数多了，压力也大了。之前也有在马来西亚拍过第一男主角的角色，可是当时有3个男主角，而我是其中一个，所以没这么stress。这部剧就不一样，我是唯一的第一男主角，主戏都是围绕这我，如果我演得不好，整部戏就完了。所以压力特别的大！当然，这个角色跟以往的有点不同。。我记得我拍‘变奏曲’的角色和这一部有点相似，角色的伸缩性可以很大（因为都是地下城人物，也有点搞笑）。但是后者更可发挥！
2. How has playing Robert Zhang impacted you in your subsequent dramas? Do you feel greater pressure to perform now?
老实说演robert zhang的时候没想过反应会这么好！现在至少别人会说“你演得好
好！”。所以如果想要突破robert zhang的筐筐，就要在新的坏角色加点变化又或者转型。我比较幸运的是没有被定型，还可以演好人的角色，如果再继续演坏人，第一，观众会拿小娘惹来比较。第二，当然不想被定型。所以要先让观众消化我不止坏人样，还可以很可爱，这部戏来得真是时候！压力当然会有，但是适当的压力对我是ok的。
3. Any funny/embarrassing moments that you have found memorable while filming?
在拍着“游戏人生”的时候，有一幕是要抱起net的女朋友，那个女的不高也很瘦所以彩排的时候我很有信心的说“ok，我抱得起她！”。结果一action我一抱她的时候竟然前有失蹄，两人一起扑在地上！当时真的很尴尬，幸好没伤到那个女的！拍小娘惹的时候，有一幕我叫白微秀脱衣的那场戏，我也觉得很尴尬！我其实要咬她的当儿我是很怕的，脚抖得很厉害，可是还要装到很enjoy！
4. If you could choose any actress in the world to work with, who
would you choose? Why?
没有吧！如果真的要说，宋慧乔吧！因为倒想和非华人演员对戏。（想体验一下鸡同鸭讲的感觉是怎样的，而且还要做表情，应该会很难！）
5. What have you been up to recently?
我现在在kl拍着“血蝴蝶"这部剧，讲述我是一个卖鸡，叫鸡仔的诚实小子，喜欢青梅竹马的女性朋友，守护着这位女性朋友直到她嫁给别人。是个不则不扣的好男人！＊是个好人！
6. We understand you’re getting married soon. Any plans to have children?
还没打算要小孩但是一定会生（我喜欢小孩）。
7. If you were not an actor, what would you be doing?
我会去做生意吧，至于是什么，还不知道。
8. If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend it?
我会叫我的家人，老婆，好朋友聚在一起，想要在我盖上眼睛的那一刻都看到他们，那就没有遗憾了！
9. We’ve noticed you’re looking better and buffer these days, and sporting a great tan. Can you share your exercise/health regime?
我不觉得自己变得好看，只是比以前多了一点自信，表演自信会让人眼前一亮。我还在build我的自信level，因为会时高时低！（心里建设很重要）。我没有特意去晒黑，因为排戏多数是在外景，也因为我是黑底的人，所以比较容易晒黑！但是说真的我在饮食方面会比较注意健康了，也经常喝果汁！

It's tough being the lead: Zzen
Insomnia, weight loss, immeasurable stress, and the not-too-flattering honour of lying in a coffin. Malaysian actor Zzen Zhang endured the above to play a leading role for the first time.
Before this, the Star Search 2001 played supporting characters. He received a Best Supporting Actor nom at last year's Star Awards for his role as the really evil Robert Zhang, the man who raped Joanne Peh in the 2008 blockbuster drama The Little Nyona..
Currently starring in Priceless Wonder, he says that the glitz and fame that come with helming the Channel 8 drama is earned through hard work
"There are more scenes, more lines, but also more chances for viewers to see me. There's pressure everywhere. I will always heave a huge sigh of relief when I get home after a day of filming."
The 20-episoder had a tight film schedule of just seven weeks, with more than 10 scenes to be shot per day. As Zzen's character Caishun is bubbly and chatty, the number of lines to memorise each day almost killed the actor. He revealed that he would keep the script behind his back at all times "to save [his] life."
There were only two rest days during the entire filming, and the 31-year-old eventually lost four kilos. "I did it through shi li (quality effort), not ba li (eight-pack abs)!"
Then there was the usual coffin, in which Zzen will lie for the third time running.
With experience, comes familiarity, they say. The fellow was not apprehensive and jumped into the coffin without hesitation.
He quipped, "Don't underestimate the wooden box. It's actually quite soft and comfortable. I can fall asleep inside."
The Malaysian even believes good things come his way with the coffin-lying experience. After all, he is set to marry his longtime girlfriend this year.
Priceless Wonder airs weekdays, 9pm, on Channel 8.

23 Feb 2010 - 章缜翔：当主角要付出代价
入行9年的章缜翔，首次在新传媒8频道电视剧《游戏人生》挑大梁。他直言，当男主角压力超大，让他睡不着、人消瘦，还要再度躺棺材，可谓代价颇大！
缜翔参加01年《才华横溢出新秀》后进入演艺圈，跟张耀栋、唐育书同一届。入行以来，多数饰演主角的弟弟、朋友，直到08年的《变奏曲》，才升级当第二男主角，情深意重的小流氓角色令人眼前一亮。
去年的《小娘惹》，他饰演强暴白薇秀的大奸角“罗伯张”，给观众留下深刻印象，还获提名《红星大奖》最佳男配角。
现在，他终于在《游戏人生》当上第一男主角。第一次当男主角，不免倍感压力。
他接受新动网专访时说：“场数多， 对白多，观众看到我的机会也多了。 有形无形的压力都有。每次一拍完回家 ，就会大大喘一口气。精神上是比较累，因为总是要保持很high的情绪。”
戏越拍人越瘦 头发也没时间剪
《游戏人生》每天赶戏赶得很厉害，一天拍十多场戏，20集的戏7个星期得拍完。偏偏缜翔的角色性格活泼多话，台词比谁都多。
他担心忘词，只好把“天书”（剧本）塞在腰间，随身带着，必要时拿出来救命。
拍这部戏，7个星期只休息2天，头发长了都没时间剪。更“严重”的是，戏里有几场脱衣露上身的戏，根本“来不及”健身。
拍到后期，瘦了4公斤，“唉，身材比较消瘦啦……不过我是靠实力的，不是靠八粒（腹肌）， 哈哈！”没得把握机会展露好身材，缜翔还是语带遗憾的。
他坦言：“我已经尽了全力，希望观众看到我的努力，如果做得不好希望大家谅解。”
躺棺材，越躺越走运？！
缜翔在《游戏人生》饰演一个职业赌徒，还主持假丧事蓬开赌。剧中就出现他的“遗照”，还有躺棺材躲避警方追查的镜头。
这已经是章缜翔第3次在戏里躺棺材，已经驾轻就熟，跳进去就躺下来，没有什么忌讳。拍棺材戏，会拿到2元红包，缜翔都尽量马上花掉红包钱。
躺棺材的感觉是——“别看它只是6片木板钉成的，其实很柔软，很舒服的，要躺在里面睡觉也是可以的。只要不盖到完，也不觉得热。”
缜翔笑着说：“有人说，躺棺材运气会变好，哇，很灵验呢！” 他不禁联想到当上第一男主角、又即将完成人生大事。
缜翔求婚成功，将在今年内和相恋多年的女友结婚。有人说虎年不适合嫁娶，但缜翔说，日期还没有定，有待高人指点。
《游戏人生》每逢星期一至五晚上9时，通过8频道播出。

27 Feb 2010 - 《游戏人生》今天开赌 新面孔梁丽芳担纲
圣淘沙名胜世界赌场已经在大年初一（14日）开业，以“小赌怡情、大赌乱性”为主题的本地剧《游戏人生》也从今天（17日）在8频道启播。这部戏是入行将近10年的章缜翔首次担任男主角，还请来马国女星梁丽芳跟他搭档，两人在戏中更有深情吻足一分钟的镜头。
梁丽芳之前在新马合拍的08年《绝对佳人》和09年《快乐一家》都当过女主角，但她主要仍以马来西亚为基地，鲜少在本地宣传，因此新加坡观众对她仍陌生。她最近出现在本地荧幕上是与戴阳天主持旅游节目《阳光大马心感受》。
梁丽芳受访时表示这是她第三次和章缜翔合作，不过是第一次演情侣。刚和新传媒续约的她说，不排除未来转移基地，在本地长线发展。
梁丽芳和曾诗梅在《游戏人生》演姑嫂，但荧幕上看起来却像姐妹，她说两人合作拍戏时不觉得，但到新加坡宣传后，已经听到不少人这么说。
曾诗梅这回则与老公唐育书第一次在同一部剧合演夫妻，不过和剧外的恩爱相反，两人在剧中经常吵架。
唐育书觉得夫妻档合作很舒服，他笑说：“因为平时没有机会骂她。”
曾诗梅则唱反调：“他演回好人，但我却因为被向云带坏变得好赌，必须精神集中去演，可是面对他会想到他是丈夫，演得很辛苦。”
剧中对白提到“离婚”二字，夫妻倆在家排戏时都会用其他字取代，因为他们觉得念出来感觉不自在。每演完一场吵架的戏，两人会相吻表示和好，让戏中的负面能量消散一空。
另外，鹤天赐演章缜翔的弟弟，常为达目的而走捷径。问还没机会扶正的他会否羡慕章缜翔当男主角，鹤天赐说要看角色，如果有机会就拍，没机会只好等啦。

8 Feb 2010 - Zzen and the Art of Acting
He looked somewhat skinnier and had slightly sunken cheeks when I caught up with the Malaysia-born actor at the press event for his upcoming series "Priceless Wonder".
"That's the price of being a leading man," he said.
The 31-year-old told reporters that he had lost about three to four kilograms and got thinner as filming went on and now needs a belt to hold up his pants.
He explained that this is the first time he is playing the male lead in a Singapore drama serial, and the anxiety and hectic filming schedule made him shed the kilos.
His character in the 20-part series had a lot more lines than he was used to so he kept the script with him virtually everywhere he went and worked hard to memorise his parts. He also only had two days off during the entire filming period.
However, it is a price he is more than happy to pay. This drama gave him the opportunity to play a good guy for a change, albeit a flawed one.
"Priceless Wonder" sees Zhang playing the lovable rogue Li Cai Shun, a career gambler who, despite his gambling habit, has many admirable qualities.
"He is a good guy compared to the character I played previously [Robert Zhang]," Zhang said. "He gambles but he does it to support his family, he is filial and also very good to his girlfriend."
"I was like 'This show came at just the right time to allow me to change my screen persona'. It lets people see I have an adorable side... that I can play good guys as well," he said, bubbling over with enthusiasm.
Though Zhang admits that he was quite comfortable playing the villain in "Little Nyonya", he wanted to avoid being typecast as a baddie.
The actor who was offered a contract with MediaCorp after finishing third in Malaysia Star Search 2001 said he was looking to hone his acting skills playing different roles and not be just another pretty face.
"An actor seeks recognition for his acting not his looks. It's useless to have people say 'he is so handsome'," he said, before adding diplomatically that he "was not referring to anyone in particular."
"Acting skill is permanent, but looks are transient."
After turning in an excellent performance in "Little Nyonya", Zhang's popularity is rising among audiences in Singapore as well as in China, where the series is currently airing.
"I did not expect the result to be so good and the audiences to respond so positively," he said, adding that he felt lucky to have met good people who helped him along in his career.
Zhang has also been lucky in his personal life.
Zhang revealed that he will tie the knot "soon" with his long-time girlfriend from Johor, though he declined to give details about her identity. He said that they still have not set a date as they are getting a professional to find an auspicious day for their wedding.
"Priceless Wonder" debuts February 17, 9pm on Channel 8.

4 Feb 2010 - 章缜翔：输钱皆因赢钱起
向云在新剧《游戏人生》饰演烂赌鬼，戏外却甚少赌博，但一买马票，就中头奖1万元！
综合娱乐城的赌场开业在际，新传媒8频道也顺势推出以赌博为主题的电视剧《游戏人生》。向云在剧中饰演“烂赌鬼”。自小在“赌博世家”成长的她说，亲友以前逢年过节相聚“开台”，自己经常把红包钱赌个精光，后悔不已。
向云：要发达就要开心！
自认没有赌运，但10年前，向云就真的好运降临，中-头-奖！
她回忆：“当时郑婉龄拿了风水书来帮我搬动家具、改风水。一个星期后，我考到驾照，就把驾照的号码前后拆开买马票，当晚竟然就中了头奖！”
因为平常不嗜赌，向云只买了10块钱，结果中了1万元，“赞助”了买二手车的费用！
谈起中头奖，向云笑得神采飞扬。她还大方公开“中奖秘诀”，“中马票那天，我从早到晚心情都很好；难怪人家说，保持好心情，好运就会来！所以，要中奖，也要保持开心！”
梁丽芳 财星高照！
梁丽芳梦见孔雀送真字
来自马国的《游戏》女主角梁丽芳说，自己不会赌，但奇怪的是，她偶尔会梦到真字！
“去年3月，第一次来新加坡，听说四马路观音庙求签很灵，就去拜拜。回家后梦见有人给了我4个字，说会中奖一定要我去买。醒来后我忘了整件事，没有买。”
她续说：“几天后，又梦到有人提醒我千万要记得这个梦境，那是9只孔雀在天上飞。妈妈说孔雀代表的数字再加个9， 买了1块钱，真的有中奖哩！虽然只是马币68元，但这是新加坡送我的小红包！”
章缜翔：输钱皆因赢钱起
章缜翔：赢来的都输光了
平时只会买马票、打麻将和black jack，连jackpot都不会玩，拍戏时“临阵磨枪”，首次担任男主角的章缜翔恶补了赌术。
从小到大，缜翔就中过一次马票，赢了百多两百元。“很久以前，买了一次4D，是我的车牌，中奖了，很开心，很想继续中，就买买买买……到头来，没再中了，把赢来的钱都倒贴回去。”
唐育书曾诗梅：名人买4D有诀窍
唐育书和曾诗梅在《游戏》演夫妇，育书说，平均可能一个月打一、两次麻将，输赢大约百多元。但，他透露，老婆不能打，因为“她等牌太明显，谁都看得出她在等什么牌。”
所以，诗梅比较常买4D、多多，并称这为“投资”。不过，身为艺人，亲自去买4D会不会不好意思？
很有经验的育书传授秘诀： “哦，跟同事们分享一个‘艺人买4D’的好方法，就是固定去一家买，而且在非繁忙时间买，就可以了。就算被人看到，也只是那一区而已！哈哈！”
由章缜翔、梁丽芳、向云、唐育书、曾诗梅、鹤天赐主演的《游戏人生》，将从2月17日（大年初四）起，每逢星期一至五晚上9时，通过8频道播出。
