UrbanWire asked some Asian and local celebs to tell us what their Christmas wishes would be, if anything they desire can be granted!

Taiwanese singer Peter Pan: “I want to dress up as Santa Claus and visit all my co-workers’ homes to give them presents, and fulfill their wishes. That’s because I’m a 夢想家!” (夢想家 is the title of Peter’s debut album released a couple of months ago, which can refer to either dreamer or someone who realises dreams.)

Peter Pan’s debut album Dreamer is available in stores.

Taiwanese director Cheng Fen Fen (left): “I hope one day my movie can be seen by people all over the world, not just in places with a majority of Chinese people, and they’ll all like it!”

Taiwanese actor Eddie Peng: “My wish is very simple. 2009 was a year that gave me many happy and unhappy memories… I hope that after Christmas, in the coming year, I’ll be very happy, carefree and can continue working… just a very simple wish.”

Hear Me (聽說), directed by Cheng Fen Fen and starring Eddie Peng, Chen Yihan and Michelle Chen, first released in Taiwan cinemas on Aug 28 and will be showing in Singapore from Jan 7, 2010.

Hong Kong rap group LMF: “We hope that there can be mutual respect for people, less war and natural disasters, and that we’ll have many vivid memories of our Hong Kong concert (for our current The Wild Lazy Tour) coming up in January. It’ll be great if things can be cheaper too!”

MediaCorp artiste Christopher Lee (right, with Life Transformers co-host Quan Yi Fong): “(exclaims) I want to go on a honeymoon! I really want to go on a honeymoon! (I’d go) many places! Whenever Fann and I watch TV, we see a place that’s beautiful, or we see some brochures, or on the Internet we see somewhere and go “How pretty!”. Places like the seaside, Europe… Actually I like Europe very much. We went to Maldives to take our wedding photos and really want to go back there. South America as well… Not just a short trip, I’d like to go on a 2-month honeymoon. Only then will we have enough time to explore.”

Life Transformers 2 airs every Monday at 8pm on MediaCorp Channel 8.

MediaCorp artiste Adrian Pang: “It’s too dirty to be said! But, the second choice would be… really sincerely, sincerely… 2 things. Last year’s been a little tricky for everybody, I just wish this H1N1 thing will just get out of our lives once and for all, ’cause just when we thought things were okay, it’s back again. So I just wish it would (mouths) f*** off as soon as possible, and we wanna get on with our lives. And just as we thought this recession was climbing out of the hole… hopefully it’ll be the start of good things for everybody.”

MediaCorp artiste Bryan Wong: “One only right? … Whatever I say, whether I say, whatever I want will also come true!”

MediaCorp artiste Kym Ng: “My Christmas wish would be that I have lots of money and I’ll buy a piece of land for my whole family to live together. A big piece of land, with front yard and backyard… My big brother will stay in this block, then there’s my second brother, third brother, and my younger brother, we’ll stay in other blocks. This whole piece of land belongs to my family and we’ll stay here. We’ll be very happy and can help one another, but at the same time we have our personal space too.”

MediaCorp artiste Gurmit Singh: “This may sound a bit cliche, but my Christmas wish will be that there is no, in any degree or form, report of violence, malice, war or wrath, anywhere in the world. You get the papers and you turn to every page and there’s no report at all about bad stuff: no war, nobody killed somebody, nobody jumped off somwhere, nobody had a painful divorce, nobody banged somebody in the head… It’ll be all good news. Not because they’re covered up, but there’s nothing really bad to report.

New City Beat airs from Christmas Day, every Friday at 8pm on MediaCorp Channel 8.
