Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and his wife Lisa S. yesterday announced that their daughter Raven Wu was born on May 30th and weighed 8 pounds. However the baby had jaundice symptoms, 4 days of her birth she remains in the hospital under the lamps. Ng Yin Cho's first baby was just born but he already planned to have another in half a year. He also described that the experience in the delivery room stunned him.

The 38 year old Ng Yin Cho and wife Lisa S. both liked children very much. Since ending their 8 year romance in 2010 with a wedding in South Africa, they have been busy "creating a person". Lisa finally announced in December that she was carrying a girl. Yesterday morning, Daniel and Lisa both posted a photo of their baby girl's hand to announce the good news. "We are very happy to announce that the birth of our healthy daughter Raven Wu. She has brought us an even more perfect family. Now we are very excited about starting a new journey in life!"

Daniel yesterday afternoon attended the film OVERHEARD 3 (SIT TING FUNG WON 3)'s production start ceremony with Louis Koo Tin Lok, Sean Lau Ching Wan, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Huang Yi, Michelle Ye (Yip Suen), directors Alan Mak Siu Fai and Felix Chong Man Keung, and producer Derek Yee Tung Sing. Daniel was all smiles, during the interview he received his co-stars Goo Jai and Ching Wan's congratulations. He could not wait to share his joy. "Rave was born on May 30th. I went to the delivery room with Lisa and was very pleasantly surprised. At first I thought a c-section birth would take a long time, but actually the process was very fast. I wasn't ready yet. We went in around 2:30PM and came around around 2:50PM." Speaking of the birthing process needing only 20 minutes, Goo Jai joked, "You still have enough time to watch a movie!"

Daniel explained that the baby was breech and could not turn around, so a natural birth was impossible. Thus a c-section was necessary. He said, "When I cut the umbilical cord I took a glimpse, it was pretty violent. I saw the person I loved being 'butchered', I was pretty scared and stunned. However I couldn't show that I was very scared. Old Lady asked me 'What's happening?', I said, 'Not much'; before I could react I went with the doctor to give the baby a physical examination and did a lot. I thought I would cry, but actually it was like a war zone."

Raven weighed 8 pounds when she was born. Daniel described her as "big". Lisa said that their daughter looked like a 3 month old. As for who the daughter resembled, he said, "Her mouth pouts like mine and her nose is very straight, but I can't tell whether she looks like Papa or Mama. Because she is just born she still retains water, her eyelids are still double but she looks Chinese. She also has a lot of hair." He said that her daughter is being breast fed, but after birth she was jaundice and she is still under the lights at the hospital. Lisa is keeping her company. Even though everyone wanted to see what Raven looks like, they would have to patiently wait a few more days before the photos will be shared. Goo Jai joked, "I am under the lamp too for a tan, I can give her a tanning lamp." Ching Wan added, "Then I am giving a baby bed, so she can lie down under the lamp."

Daniel would like Goo Jai and Ching Wan to be uncles to protect her daughter. He said, "I am very worried about my daughter dating in her teens, then I have to find her uncles to keep an eye on her." Goo Jai joked, "Then you should name her 'Ng Chun Siu' (No Smiling) or 'Ng Chun Kau' (No Wooing)." Daniel pointed out that his daughter' Chinese name will be left for his father to name. His parents will not visit until September. When will he have another? Daniel said, "Lisa had a very hard time, now she still can't. After half a year! I plan to reward her with jewelry, then set up an education fund for my daughter."

Daniel said that most of his characters had to die before, and joked that after the birth of his daughter he did not want to die. Directors Mak Siu Fai and Chong Man Keung pointed out that the film's story was still being developed, so there might be a chance to turn it around. However they believed that OVERHEARD 3 will be the final chapter, as they no longer wanted to make a sequel like a television series. If a boss will be willing to invest in a 4th installment, it will depend on the 3rd film's box office.

Goo Jai this time will play a handicapped character. He joked that the character was very right for him because he too was handicapped. He mentioned that earlier while working on the film THE WHITE STORM (SO DUK) he injured his face and right leg during a fight scene. He was swollen, in pain and thought he was jinxed, luckily he was fine. Ching Wan will try to grow facial hair for the film and did not know whether his kisses will be prickly for his wife. He joked that he had to go home and ask his wife.
