"Roommate Buddies" raked in $2,000,000 on its premiere alone. It could have been more if not for the bad weather. By the 3rd day, takings was already $5,000,000! Seems like the target of $10,000,000 set by the director isn't such a high target after all.

Sammi suffered another asthma attack after returning home from filming in Japan and thus could not attend the premiere of "Roommate Buddies". Her parents however, came for the premiere with hordes of relatives to support Sammi. Andy Lau, who acted opposite her in "Chubby Love Story" remarked that Sammi worked extremely hard during the filming and will call on her to ask about her health soon. Looks like filming had finally taken its toll on poor Sammi. Fans sent Sammi a fax asking her to take care and get well soon. No doubt Sammi will be very touched when she knows about it.

During the filming of the music video of "Not Necessary", Sammi wore a black dress with a white scarf attached to it. And for the fun of it, she would wipe her mouth with the scarf and that made the crew laugh. Filming took place in a 4 storeyed furniture store and because of all the lamps, the coolest room was actually the washroom! Sammi often had to escape there in between takes.

In the movie "Roommate Buddies", there were a few kissing scenes between Sammi and Tony. The 2 of them only received the script the day before and they discussed how to make the scene a good one. However, Tony at that time was besotted with problems with his long time girlfriend, Carina Lau, and he appeared a little unnatural while filming for the scene. So much so that he himself was not satisfied with the result and he requested the scene to be shot again. There was another intimate scene in the movie involving him and his screen girlfriend which was dropped because the director wanted to focus on Sammi and Tony alone.

After the filming of the Japan scenes, the set of "Chubby Love Story" was moved back to Hong Kong. There, they film a scene whereby Sammi wants Andy to pretend to be her Japanese childhood lover, so that Sammi could prepare herself on the actual meeting day. Andy in his costume, dressed up in cargo pants and black jacket and bow-tie, upon seeing Sammi, could not resist but kiss her. However, due to the costume getting in the way, and not to spoil the effect of the make-up, they could only peck each other on the lips. Both their actions were natural even with the large costumes they were wearing.

Sammi's good friend Andy Hui has been holding his concert for the past few days but all this while, Sammi was busy filming in Japan for "Chubby Love Story". But on the 28th however, Sammi flew back to Hong Kong. Apparently, she had taken a day's leave to be back in order to attend Andy Hui's concert. Filming was delayed in Japan as they could only film scenes with Andy Lau only. About 20 odd fans were at the airport to receive a Sammi with little make-up on. Maybe for this reason, she evaded reporters requests for photographs and interviews and thus we could not know if she was indeed here to attend Andy Hui's concert.

On the last day of Andy Hui's concert, there was still no sign of Sammi. Andy, on seeing that Sammi was not around, seem to be less cheerful, but his good friend and guest Dicky Cheung brightened things up a lot. The next day, Sammi finally appeared at the airport on her way back to Japan. It was then when we knew that Sammi came here to see a doctor regarding her skin allergy and in the end decided to give Andy's concert a miss in order for her skin to recover.

During the filming of "Chubby Love Story" in Japan, Sammi's face in patches of red. It seems that her skin finally developed an allergy to the make-up which she has to wear everyday for the filming. On that day, the director decided to shoot another scene instead, a kissing scene between Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng. Normally the 2 person involved would discuss on the scene but Andy and Sammi did not think it was necessary. "I'll just pretend that Sammi is my girlfriend," says Andy. The scene went on very well indeed in the end.

In the movie, "Roommate Buddies", Sammi has to act as a chain smoker. In the whole filming process, Sammi smoked about 180 sticks of cigarettes. Even with her asthma problem, and her clean image to uphold, she did not request for any changes to the character but take it as it is since it was necessary for the portrayal of the 'bad girl' image in the movie. The director even ordered the 20 packs of chocolate flavoured cigarettes from Malaysia for the sake of Sammi.

Sammi's past albums have mostly featured the left side of her face, so much so that it prompted Warner to call her the 'Left-faced Queen Of Pop'. It's not that Sammi looks better on her left, she looks as great at any angle. However, for the cover of her latest album, there were a total of 6 pictures to choose from and they thought of voting for the picture that is to be the cover photo. Even Stephanie Sun, Warner's new artiste from Singapore, took part in the vote. Sammi did so as well through email as she was in Hong Kong filming. The end result? Another cover photo showing the left side of her face again.
