A multi-talented woman, Vivian was known to be very proficient in art, make-up, music and duplicating other people's signatures. She plays the piano regularly, composing songs for her own albums and sometimes even arranges her own music, too. She once said that was perhaps the only way she could convey her most sincere feelings and emotions to her fans.

As people in Hong Kong do not use Mandarin often, Vivian had to take Mandarin courses to brush up her diction in preparation for her first Mandarin album "Rumours". That album was a success hit in Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore.

Ever the hardworking girl, after gaining a foothold in the Mandarin music market, she took up Japanese for her foray into the Japan music industry. Her doll-like features and sweet smiles endeared herself to many fans over there and her popularity soared.

In fact, her 1993 "NHK Most Popular Female Singer" title notwithstanding, a JPOP (JPOP as in Japanese Pop) magazine even featured her on its cover as "Hong Kong's Most Attractive Female Singer".
