Just two days ago, Tiffany left a message on her microblog at 4am.
"There are always people who cannot stay together until the end. There are too many choices and too much greed. The reason behind persistence is a calm heart. You're my stability. People are torn apart because of their surroundings, but no matter how chaotic the surrounding may be, you complete me," the actress wrote.
When asked to comment on her microblog entry at an event yesterday, Tiffany replied, "I wasn't talking about him."

Stella Huang to give birth naturally
Feb 03 2012
The local singer revealed that her child would be named Maggie if she is pregnant with a girl
Singer Stella Huang announced that she is three months pregnant a few days ago.
But the pregnancy is not turning out easy for the first-time mum as Stella has been experiencing serious morning sickness for awhile now.
However, the mummy-to-be still plans on giving birth to her child naturally through the water birth method or with the aid of laughing gas (nitrous oxide).
Both methods are said to aid in reducing labour pains during natural child birth.
"It must be very creepy to smile while giving birth!" Stella joked, when the words "laughing gas" was mentioned.
The singer also shared that she had already began to take yoga classes for expecting mothers. Her husband would tag along for breathing classes.
After her delivery, the singer plans to let her family take care of her instead of getting help from a confinement center. And if the baby turns out to be a girl, she will be named "Maggie".
"I want the baby to be near her family. My aunt, who is experienced, will come over to help me during my confinement. My mother will also be taking care of me," she said.
Stella also shared that both hubby and her were moved to tears during a recent pregnancy checkup when they saw the baby's head and hands during an ultrasound.
The singer's husband plans on accompanying her during delivery and to film the childbirth process.
"He should only film my upper body and not from the waist down, because I too, am too afraid to see what's going on there," she said.

Feb 02 2012
The Taiwanese singer rebukes allegations of a new relationship
Recently, singer Elva Hsiao was rumoured to be dating actor Kai Ko, who is 12 years her junior. One witness even claimed that the pair was behaving intimately at a night club last Saturday.
A Taiwanese tabloid picked up the news and reported that Elva and Kai first went to the movies with a group of friends, before visiting the night club together. Later, when they became drunk, Kai was said to have hugged Elva from behind.
After the report was published, Kai admitted that he had gone to a club with Elva, but insisted that they were "merely friends". He also denied that he had hugged Elva.
Yesterday, Elva's recording company, Golden Typhoon, released a formal statement rebutting the false news reports.
The company stated that while it does not respond to baseless claims, it was forced to do so this time as the matter had severely affected Elva's reputation.
The company stated that the tabloid had continued to report the false news, even after the artistes involved had denied the allegations. If the person who tipped the tabloid is found, Golden Typhoon promises to take legal actions.

The new short hairdo stirred speculations of an impending military enlistment for the actor
Following Taiwanese actor Ethan Ruan's enlistment days ago, fellow actor Ming Dao has now caused a stir after a recent photo of him sporting a crew cut went viral.
Prior to the Lunar New Year, Ming Dao posted a picture of himself with a new short hairdo on his microblog, sparking speculations amongst fans that their idol might be enlisting for the military service soon.
The actor has since deleted the pictures from his microblog.
According to Ming Dao's management, the actor is currently on a vacation in the southern region of Taiwan and is waiting for the school term to start before taking a leave of absence from his college.
"Ming Dao is currently on vacation and is taking the opportunity to spend more time with his family," said his manager.
The management also refuted allegations of an impending enlistment, stating that Ming Dao had merely cut his hair short because his previously curly hair was troublesome.
It was said that if the military enlistment were to happen, Ming Dao will be due to enter the army earliest in mid-February.
