Vicki Zhao and family got her to smile

Mandopop diva Faye Wong’s short working trip to Singapore was made merrier with the company of a few good friends.

It turns out that Wong’s gal pal, Chinese actress-singer Vicki Zhao, 35, was in town, too, along with her husband and one-year-old daughter.

Wong arrived here last Thursday night to prepare for her concert and flew home yesterday morning, the concert’s public relations officer told The New Paper.

Zhao’s husband, Wuhan property tycoon Huang Youlong, had posted a photo on his Sina Weibo microblog of a grinning Wong carrying his daughter.

It was a rare side of the singer, who usually comes across in the media as cold and unsmiling.

According to Chinese entertainment portal Sina.com, Zhao’s family of three attended Wong’s concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday and “Little April” (the nickname of Zhao’s daughter) is a fan of Wong’s music.

While the ice queen did not update her Weibo microblog in Singapore, Zhao did. The actress posted a photo of Wong onstage with the comment: “Very good!”

Known for being intensely private, Wong kept her Singapore itinerary tightly under wraps.

Besides confirming that Wong did meet Zhao and her family here, all a source would reveal to TNP was that Wong, a strict vegetarian because of her religious beliefs, “did not have any meals outside.

“All her meals in Singapore were packed for her”.

The source said Wong went shopping briefly at Ion Orchard last Friday: “Her schedule was really tight. The rest of the time was spent rehearsing for her concert.”
