She holds the press conference and autograph session at Sham Shui Po on 10 Sepetmeber and reveals she is having a depression 2 days ago due to the worry about gaining weight and less beautiful. Fortunately, many people buy her photo albums and Priscilla Wong (黃翠如), Kaki Leung (梁嘉琪) and Toby Chan (陳庭欣) give her their supports at the hair salon.

Cilla expresses there is 10,000 copies of her photo album and hope there will be unlimited copies and venture into China market as it is once in a lifetime only. She hopes to shoot another photo album when expecting and say: "It is based on healthy and sunshine this time and I cannot accept any naked photos because I need to answer to my mother. She is most concerned about me and finally understands that I want to keep the photo album as a memory. She even tells me to exercise together at home and I can try to persuade her to shoot a photo album and act as her photographer when having vacation together one day."

Cilla Kung (樂瞳) is always smiling but on that day on Instagram, she announced her grandfather had passed away and felt devastated. Cilla left a message: "He has left...... First time to see the heartbeat machine starts from 28/0 to no heartbeat at all. He is fine this afternoon but left just like that...... The doctor said he could survive until next morning and received such news when returned to hospital. I was the last one to reach the hospital and my family told me his heartbeat stopped twice. Thank you for waiting for me. Grandfather, please reunite with grandmother and stay together!" Many fans told her to take care upon reading the message.

As an artist, having a set image is a contradictory matter. On one hand, the artist is happy that the audience remembers them, but on the other hand there is fear that their stuck with that image and won't make a breakthrough. Cilla Lok is an artist experiencing this dilemma, she can't seem to get out of that cute and "little girl" image. She frankly expressed its time for her to grow up: "I need a breakthrough. Actually I am not that young, but I'm not too satisfied with my performance in the past few years. I really hope I can portray more mature and convincing roles in the future. I don't want to be a little girl anymore."

TVB's latest series Slow Boat Home is set in Cheung Chau. Cilla grew up in Tai O, she expressed returning to the outlying islands instantly gave her the feeling of "home". She said: "Although I didn't have that many scenes in Cheung Chau, I still get a close feeling when I go to Cheung Chau." Cilla portrays a young woman named Yoyo in the series, sometimes she's a well-behaved girl; sometimes she's a party girl; and other times she's a barbaric HK girl. Asked if Cilla is really a barbaric HK girl in real life? She said: "I'm not considered one, but I'm a little headstrong. Perhaps because my family had always been overprotective of me, so I'm really dependent and throw tantrums, but I really won't have 'princess illness' like I do in the series. I'm not as exaggerated as her, needing someone to do everything for her."

Since Yes Sir, Sorry Sir, Cilla has been crowned as the "HK Golden Goddess" and coincidentally she frequently plays a goddess with several guys around her. Is it because portrays her roles too well? But Cilla is frequently misunderstood that she has just as many guys circling her in real life. Cilla said helplessly: "Actually that is not the case. I think its strange too, the media always say I'm everyone loves me, but the truth is I have nothing! Actually I'm worried too, how the audience thinks of me I won't feel unhappy, but I still want to clear my name." Cilla explained she has a broad-minded personality, she doesn't pay attention to details and is straightforward, that's why she likes to hang out with guys more.

Natalie Tong is Her Goal

In her acting career, Cilla is usually somebody's little sister. Actually, Natalie Tong had a similar experience, she started off playing little sister roles, but now Natalie has changed her image and had a huge breakthrough in her acting. No wonder Cilla sets Natalie as her goal. She said: "If I can end up like Natalie Tong, then I'll be satisfied. In the past, she frequently played little sisters as well, I see she had improved a lot now and has even changed. She has reached another level, and I start thinking will I be like her one day? I really hope the audience will be able to see Cilla Lok is slowly growing up as well!"

In the past year, Cilla has been focused on shooting TV series, but she actually has a singing career as well. She is expecting herself in the near future to be balancing between her role as an actor and singer. "I will keep on singing and have re-started with an English song in Slow Boat Home to allow the audience to get to know me as a singer. My greatest hope is to sing the TV series theme songs and a popular mainstream song that belongs to me; a song everyone knows how to sing. I'll be satisfied then!"

In TVB new series Missing You, Cilla Lok says goodbye to her frequent school girl roles. This time, she plays a member in an organization providing tracing services and has quite a bit of screen time. She smiled and said the filming progress was fun and enjoyable, mainly because she became like family with her co-stars Linda Chung, Jason Chan, Ram Chiang and Calvin Chan. They order delivery practically on a daily basis, just like a real office job. She greatly praised Jason's attentive nature, he contributes generously, "He buys us a lot of snacks, but he later thought it was too much 'heat' (熱氣), so he bought us fruits to eat. He even cut up the fruits and distributed to each of us. He is such a 'long-term food ticket', always treating us meals. Jason's like an extremely good person, he's a See Hing (big brother) both in and out of the series!"

When speaking of her "Sai Kit Ching" (Detergent) role, her personality is lively and headstrong; she bickers with her colleagues daily. Cilla portrayed Detergent well and has received a lot of positive feedback. However, she laughed and said in real life, as she gets older, she is becoming more and more gentle. Asked if she feels her role is similar to her previous series? Cilla was worried herself that people may have this set image on her, but for now she's just doing her own part, "Each time, it's an opportunity. They think I'm qualified for this type of role, then it's a type of certainty!" She reveals she's currently shooting new series Master . Understood, which is completely different from her previous roles, she said it's a great challenge, "It's a costume series and I have to fight. My role eventually commits suicide. Series with too many relationships are hard to handle."

Cilla always maintains a sweet smile, it turns out she had her down times in life too. Within a single month, both her paternal and maternal grandmother passes away. Although this caused a great impact on her, she was still professional and continued working. She sees this experience as part of her growth and she faced it positively. "During that period, I was emotionally confused and needed time to adjust, but this made me more mature." When asked of her New Year's wish, she wishes her family good health, that she could continue shooting TV series and get back into the music scene. When asked if she wants to start a new relationship? She said: "Yeah, I hope to have someone to comfort me when I'm feeling unhappy, but I don't have time to meet anyone and I don't have much mood."

TVB 'Post-80s' artists Cilla Kung and Ronald Law (Moon) became good friends afer collaborating in the series Witness Insecurity. Last year, the two played bad students in Yes Sir Sorry Sir, and this time they meet again, but they are no longer students. In the series, Moon madly pursues Cilla. Cilla frankly expressed it's a funny feeling, she said: "Because I'm already really familiar wih him, so to develop feelings for him is quite difficult. Sometimes when I look at him, I get this 'too familiar' feeling! In the series, he has feelings for me, but I'm always yelling at him. Of course I don't treat him like that in real life, so it's an interesting feeling."

Although, in the series Moon is always running around doing things for Cilla, it turns out they are actually good friends. He frankly expressed their friendship helped with their acting. He said: "I remember that time when we were shooting Yes Sir, Sorry Sir, we started getting to know each other. Many people thought the students in Yes Sir should develop further! However, now in Witness Insecurity, I believe its because of our familiarity, that we can get even more into character and create more sparks!"

Aimee Chan, Selena Li, Ruco Chan, Raymond Wong and Cilla Kung were shooting for TVB new series Love Exceeds the Coastline in Tuen Mun yesterday. The scene was about a beach volleyball competition. In a beach outfit, aside from showing off her fine waist and long legs, Aimee also shows off her great volleyball skills since she used to be on the volleyball team. The other cast were pretty bad compared to her. Aimee's fast reactions and moves were too fast for her opponent Cilla to dodge and only got the ball in her face. She screamed instantly at the scene. Later, Cilla laughed: "I'm fine, my nose hasn't fallen off yet."

Among all, Cilla was the worst at volleyball. Even the director said she served the ball 200 times and still couldn't make it over the net. Selena was on the right track, but Raymond Wong had to add: "The crew specially added a trampoline for Cilla to accompany her super jump move while playing volleyball." Cilla turned into a laughingstock, but she didn't mind at all. Instead, she asked reporters to come closer to take pictures of her specially designed trampoline. Selena and Aimee expressed they were part of the school's volleyball team back in Toronto and were very happy to be able to play together in this series.

TVB young actress Cilla Kung plays a college student in new series Daddy Good Deeds. She laughed and said she can finally say goodbye to the school girl era, but her role is still very childish. Cilla also claimed that she's a headstrong girl herself: "When I was young, whatever musical instrument I wanted to learn, my parents would let me, but I was always the '3 minute passion' type. After I entered the industry, my brother knew I'm working hard, so he's always buying food for me. "

This time, Cilla has many seens opposite of Linda Chung, Ha Yu, Evergreen Mak and Nancy Wu as they play her family members in the series. She gained a lot of experience from them, Cilla praised her 'sister' Linda's amazing crying skills and her 'father' Ha Yu's cohesiveness. She also especially thanked former TVB producers Miu Siu Ching and Lau Kar Ho. Cilla said she will work even harder and won't disappoint them.

Yesterday Linda Chung, Evergreen Mak and Cilla Kung were on Metro Radio for an interview to promote new TVB series Daddy Good Deeds. Lead actor Steven Ma was absent due to skin allergies. Daddy Good Deeds is now the leader of the highest rated premiere (first) episode so far, averaging at 31 points and peaked at 33 points. However, it was said the broadcast period is considered the period of the ashes, Evergreen said: "If you ask me, there isn't the so-called 'ashes period'. I had it happened during the Lunar New YEar, but most important is quality. There will be amplitude every year, next week students will be taking exams and Easter is approaching, so there will be some affect. I hope everyone will record the show or catch it again on MyTV."

Linda expressed she's very pleased to hear the premiere rating peaked at 33 points. She reveals she will be taking 1 month off and visit her family in Canada.

The "Gamers' Goddess" Cilla Lok (Kung) is nominated for "Most Improved Actress" in the TVB Anniversary Awards. It was said she is TVB Executive Virgina Lok's new favorite and suddenly gets "amnesty" to cancel her work in Japan. This clearly shows that Cilla wants to stay in HK to get an award. No wonder she had smiles of delight when choosing an outfit for the award presentation night.

This year, Cilla was recognized for her role in Yes Sir, Sorry Sir and is part of the nominations for Most Improved Actress. Her blog has been the leader on TVB.com for 10 consecutive weeks. More recently, her role "Heaven Eye Girl" in Forensic Heroes III has won praises.

It was said Cilla won favor from TVB Executive Virgina Lok and now has a high chance to get the award. Initially she was scheduled to shoot a travel special in Japan until mid-December. The schedule clashes with the TVB Anniversary Award date of December 5th. To help Cilla be able to attend the awards presentation, the Executives suddenly decided to change the plan, replacing Cilla with Kimmy Kwan. It looks like TVB intends to let Cilla personally accept her award!

Regarding the award, Cilla expressed she is confident that this year her improvement has been enormous. She admits TVB did suddenly cancel her trip to Japan: "Because early December I have to start new series Dangerous Protection, but of course I hope to attend the awards presentation too! I'll be just as happy whether if I win or not. The most important is to look pretty at the show." When asked who she would thank if she wins? She said without hesitation, she must thank Virgina Lok, Producers Lau Ka Ho and Miu Siu Ching.

Yesterday Moses Chan attended the No Smoke Community Outreach Plan Opening Ceremony 2011 along with K4 (Cilla Kung, Dickson Wong, Ronald Law, Brian Chu). As the Yes Sir Sorry Sir finale received very dull response, Moses believes that it is because Law Sir already copied all the criminal evidence on the USB in episode 27, and that was the most exciting part. The last two episodes were only to explain how all the relationships were going to end. Moses said: "It's a good suggestion to shoot a sequel. It's only in the recent year that TVB had this type of youth series, I hope to play a student or a PE teacher. A teacher-student love story isn't bad either, I am not afraid the role will damage my image, but being the 'best deal' is fine too."

Cilla does not dare to fight Aimee Chan for Moses

Cilla expressed that Yes Sir got over 3 million hits on TVB.com and is the highest in history. She said: "This series gave me a lot, I really don't want it to end, hope there will be a sequel, talk about K4's college life." Cilla and the 3 K4 guys were rumored one after the other. Asked who she doesn't want to part with most? She said: "I don't want to part with all of the cast in the series, especially Moses Chan. When we were shooting, I often see K4, but didn't have many chances to see Moses. This is my first collaboration with him, so I don't know if there is a second time." Asked if she wants to 'arm wrestle' with Aimee Chan? Cilia claims that she will definitely lose.

TVB series Yes, Sir. Sorry! Sir. premiered two days ago. Akina Choi and Cilla Kung who play school girls in the series have already received attention and becomes the new generation goddesses on discussion forums. Also, Akina's astonishing and old photos are being dug up. She appears very cute and pure in the photos.

Since the premiere of Yes Sir, it has already become a hot discussion topic on the internet. It is not because the title of the series has a similar title to ATV's old series The Butcher School Master (點解阿sir係隻鬼) and the undercover story is clearly a copy of Stephen Chow's film Fight Back to School (逃學威龍) or because the series has Moses Chan, Tavia Yeung or the 'multiple deaths' Law Lok Lam. It is because of the 20 something year old Akina along with the pure and true Cilla playing as school girls.

22 year old Akina entered the industry 6 years ago. In 2006, she entered Yes! Magazine's School Beauty Queen contest and has some fame in the model industry. She also made guest appearances in several films and TV series.

The other goddess is 24 year old Cilla Kung. In the series, she plays a bad student and seizes the first place spot on TVB.com's popularity ranks.
