Jan 12

TVB have made an announcement yesterday that Montreal entrant Vicki Ng withdraws from this year’s Miss Chinese International Pageant. Her departure was caused by an incomplete application form. Miss Ng aged at 17, needed a document signed by her parents enabling her to compete in the competition. As all the delegates arrived in Hong Kong by Jan 1. TVB still did not receive the paper work request by the rules from Miss Ng. TVB agreed to give her extra time providing full applicant information. Unfortunately, TVB still did not receive the necessary paper documents after reaching the deadline. Hence, TVB asked Miss Ng to step down, Vicki Ng of Montreal, agreed and hence withdrew, and had returned to Montreal with her parents on Jan 11.

                                                         

According to the unidentified sources, one claimed that Miss Ng parents found TVB Miss Chinese International was inappropriate for their loving daughter, hence encouraged her to withdraw. And eventually, Vicki agreed the request by her parents and left the competition. Also, from another source, Charmpress INC received, which was rumoured that Miss Ng recently discovered that she was pregnant, had to give up her dream. Charmpress INC have also received an email from someone who claimed that Vicki has posed some inappropriate pictures with a man. However, nothing is confirmed. The reason caused Vicki’s departure remained as secret. 

16 delegates are now remaining in the competition. TVB also informed the press, all Miss Ng’s previous promotion clips will be erased and her portrait taken a week ago will not be published. TVB also stressed that we have never considered signing Miss Ng as TVB Artist. 


Miss Hong Kong Tracy IP Chui-Chui was named  Ceramics Culture Ambassador.
Jan 8, 2006

Seventeen Miss Chinese INTL 2006 delegates competed for the top prize of Talent competition during their Fuoshan tour. The organiser named the award as "Ceramics Cultural Ambassador". Miss New York performed Chinese “Kong Fu“, was the most popular delegate among the live audiences. 

The local temperature drops to only 5 degree during the event, but the cold freeze did not stop the locals turning up to watch the competition at a out door venue, and almost 500 people turned up. 

Miss Hong Kong wins the top prize despite the fact that her performance was quite ordinary. The biggest crown favour Miss Montreal Vicki Ng was the most photographed delegate during the tour. 

Vicki’s Chinese is rather poor, the audiences find it very difficult figuring out what she is trying to say. The English and French native speaker, Montreal resident told the reporters that she is working on her Chinese language through the helps of pageant staffs and delegates, and disagreed this could bring her disadvantage, because English is internationally recognised language.

During a recent interview, Tracy expresses her thoughts about Christmas and her expectation for the coming Miss Chinese International pageant. 

Her body weight has exceeded the prefect balance, after her participation at Miss World contest. “We had too much free time, and too much time for resting during the entire competition, I enjoy every single moment in Sanya and so did my appetite. I was among the final 15 during the beachwear competition, which I felt extremely proud and it was a record for Hong Kong at Miss World contest.” “I am currently trained for Miss Chinese International 2006, but also planning with my family to celebrate the Christmas day."

When asking whether she had got a date during Christmas, Tracy blushing on her face told reporter that she is still single.

Tracy will participate in Miss Chinese International pageant 2006 on the behalf of Hong Kong. Her wish does not include winning the prestigious tile but rather enjoy the whole experience. Tracy stressed that she won’t use diet maintaining her body weight, instead the busy schedule of the competition will help her loses weight naturally.
