I Have No Choice But To Let Go
BERMO has been part of my life for the past four years. Everyday, or at least every other day, there is a least a moment when I think and wish they will admit they are together. Whenever I stumbled upon news of the two, I would literally be jumping up and down. TVB created opportunities for them to be a couple. But, it was also TVB who broke their bond.
TVB arranged for them to film 'Love Bond' and 'Healing Hands III'. Both have lived outside of Hong Kong before, with Bernice born and raised in Canada and Moses studying in Australia. Since the two spoke good English mixed with Chinese, they clicked and sparks flew between them. Since the pair were sucessful in the eyes of the viewers, TVB began having them work as a couple team at functions. Every time, they were asked and teased about their 'love relationship'. Even at game shows, they were teased.
However, when Moses won Best Actor in 2007, and I expected Bernice to win Most Improved New Actress in the same year, things did not turn out the way I thought they would. Shortly after, TVB began pushing Bernice to the States and Mainland China to film movies for a long amount of time. Their rumors undoubtly decreased over the time being. Occassionally, there would be something about them. It wasn't until summer of 2008 that breakup rumors stirred the Internet.
But, these breakup rumors faded over time and BERMO began appearing at functions again, together as a couple team. I thought they were back together. More news came and went, until December 2010. I remember trying to study for a History final, and "BAM" the news came. All news pointed to Bernice with dating Alastair Lam, and Moses was dumped. A few Sundays later, a magazine did an interview with Moses, with him saying 'The past is the past'. Moses had his head down in every of the photos. This made it seem that he was the victim and that they had broken up.
Then, it only got worse. Aimee Chan hooked up with Moses Chan. They didn't really deny. They chose not to respond. Bernice continued to be the 'bad one'. I also remember reading an article not long ago that Aimee Chan only saw Moses as an older brother. But, Moses was describing/praising Aimee the exact same way he had with Bernice years ago when their rumors first started. Aimee was also describing/praising Moses the exact same way Bernice did years ago. I really did try making up excuses for them. Maybe they were just trying to create news. It couldn't be real! They were still as cute as ever just a few weeks before the breakup news came out.
In June 2011, an article from MSN interviewed Bernice and she answered many of our questions about them. Yes, they had broken up. But, in 2008, not 2010, as everyone had thought. People saw Moses as the victim, because he didn't come out to explain and 'The past is the past' made it seem that they had just broken up in 2010. Not only that, but TVB only stepped forward to save Moses' image and did not care much about Bernice. Bernice also annouced in the article that she would be leaving TVB after 10 years. After all, she hadn't received one award. All the other artistes who went into the industry after her got the Most Improved Actress award.
It is not easy to let go something that has been with you for the past four years. But, after careful thinking and rewatching some clips and seeing some pictures of them, I have decided to move on and forget them. Like Moses said, 'the past is the past' and it is time for me to let go. Although I will be veey delighted if they are back together, I no longer care if they are together or not. And, hopefully I have made the right decision. Farewell, BERMO, and thank you two for the good times you shared with us.
