Tuen (T): After resting for a period of time, have you found some fun things to share with everyone?
Maggie (M): I remember once I was at an overseas gym attending a Body Combat class. At the time I went all out in throwing punchs, and thought I was hitting with style, haha! Suddenly, when I was catching my breath, the instructor on stage suddenly came and corrected my movements. Trying to dodge and hide from the looks of others, I thought, I went all out to hit, with style, how could he/she be possibly talking to me....oh! Who would have known that the instructor did not pay attention to my hiding and feelings, and in front of 50 of more people repeatedly and repeatedly shouted to me "You, Yes, you!!!" Oh! To my fellow classmates, apologies....it was me!!! (very humiliating) At the time, it was very awkward, I had a cold sweat across my forehead, there appeared three lines across my face, haha!!! Afterwards, I thought, in a place where noone recognised me, everyone sees you as a normal person, enjoying that freedom I cannot get in Hong Kong, is actually something fantastic!!
T: Looking at what it says on your website, you have been travelling during this period, incidently avoiding the paparazzi, is that what you would say?
M: Unexpectly you guessed right, hahaha!! Ever since I got this disease and stopped working, that was when I found out that Hong Kong actually has a narrow and small lifestyle space, with the air so polluted, making people feel suffocated. My life now is so different from my life before, everday I go out a lot more, I like experiencin different lifestyle cultures through travelling. Before work was very busy, and everytime I was in a country I was only a visitor, and basically I couldnt say I lived there. Now, I finally have the chance, being in a foreign place and resting, enjoying normal and simple happiness, its really a small present from God.
The audience really misses you....
M: Really? How do you know!? (You can sense she is really happy) Seriously speaking, I wanted to slow down my life, and reduce life's pressures, and that was the doctor's advice too. Soon I will have a blog, and write a few things, writing about what I have been up to lately for others to read.
T: I think the audience cannot help but have a sense of anticipation. Everyone will anticipate that your appearance everytime will bring different surprises.... will you think you will live with other's anticipation, and will have tremendous pressure?
M: Perhaps in the past I would. I am a person who has her own expectations, and somehow would unconsciously put pressure on myself. So now I try to live for myself. Having too much plans is actually not that good, I like acting on a whim. Take acting for example, a character which you more purposely manage actually doesnt have the effect which you anticipate. On the contrary, I use a play/game type method to play a particular role, and there are surprising results. Life is like a play, miracles happen unexpectedly, dont you think so?
Does things seriously, attention to detail
M:There's a phrase that is really true: "Behind a star, there ten thousand details, when the details are right, then the star can fly." Why do you have to be serious? Because everyone lives once, I will try to not live with regret. I dont want to let some small mistakes result in life long regret. Seriousness is an attitude to life, its an outstanding lesson to learn.

firthette's comments: I'm glad Maggie is enjoying a simple life :) Take care, and we anticipate your return to our screens ;) What she said about acting is so interesting.... its what she thought of King of Yesterday and Tomorrow...who would have thought she'd win the Anniversary award for it...? Since it wasnt a big budget production.... although I think she's great in comedic roles....
