Recently, movie cum television well-sought after actor, Nicky Wu, is being isolated in a rural area in Beijing, filming his latest tv series, based on China ancient background. It takes 6 hours car-journey to reach the place. Nicky jokingly said,"I am living in a bungalow now!" Besides such good treatment, Nicky still forks out his own money to engage a house-keeper to do his washing and cooking. Hence, Athena got to have "candle-night" dinner with Nicky every night.

Nicky, whose Thai restaurants are thriving, is very particular about food. As long there is good food, he can tolerate all the toils in filming. However, the place of filming this time is very isolated and it is very difficult to get to eat good food. Hence, Nicky forked out RM$800 per month to engage a house-keeper who can cook Taiwan dishes, so that he could eat satisfactorily. There would be "scallop with bean", the usual stir-fried food or even porridge with simple dishes. Sometimes, Nicky would even direct some of the famous Thai dishes from his restuarant "PP Island". Even Athena is attracted by the smell of the food.

Initally, Nicky lived in a local hotel. However, as the local fans are too enthusiastic and often press his door bell to request his signature in the middle of the night, he was not able to get proper rest. Hence, the filming group arranged for both Nicky and Athena to move to a bungalow. Each of them lived in a bungalow with a garden. On this sort of "honourable" life, Nicky smiled wrily,"Just that, sometimes, there's no hot water."

Athena often had dinner with Nicky because she got hooked on the tonic soup at his house, and she could make her order. If she wants to eat more light food which could reduce heat or drink something that is good for her complexion, she only needs to say it, and the housekeeper in Nicky's house will do it.
