Gigi Lai Chi, Rain Li Choi Wah, Niki Chow and sister, Kathy Chow appeared at a Starwood Hotel promotional event in Macau. The four ladies were invited as guests to honor the grand opening of a Japanese restaurant at the hotel.

Although all the women dressed beautifully, Gigi was the focal point due to her $3.5 million (HKD) diamond jewelry. Gigi wore a low-cut tube dress and revealed half her chest.

Due to the valuable jewelry Gigi was wearing, she was protected by security guards. Gigi indicated that her clothes and jewelry were arranged by Starwood Hotel. She was also satisfied with the six figure endorsement fee she received for the event. After the event, Gigi will be returning to Hong Kong to film "The Gem of Life" 《珠光寶氣》(formerly referred to as "Jewel's Splendor").

In 2008, Gigi will take a hiatus in filming series after the completion of "The Gem of Life." She will focus on filming ads and charity work. If the opportunity arises, Gigi hopes to go to China and establish a charity fund.

Gigi admitted that her plans were shaped by her brother, Lai Ying's earlier automobile accident, which left him in critical condition at the hospital. But her intention was do more charitable work.

Regarding Lai Ying's current condition, Gigi said, "He is improving. Each day, he needs to do several hours of physical therapy. As he is showing good results, this makes us feel less worried."

Gigi is also currently handling the financial management of her brother's dermatological practice. Thus, she may change her career to the business field in the long run.




It was the first time both Kathy and Niki appeared at a function together in Macau. Niki reflected upon the unpleasant vacation in Las Vegas with her family when she was 18 years old. Since she was under age, she was restricted from entering the casino floor and could only wait by the entrance! Suspecting Kathy was under age as well, the security guards asked her for identification.
