Baby Moses

Moses Chan Ho
Moses Chan
"Hello, my name is Moses Chan Ho. I am the shortest little boy on the right in the picture. The other 2 boys are my older brothers. Flora Chan and Ada Choi always get mad at me because I am always with my brother. Both Flora and Ada are really good friends of mine. We can be really crazy when we come together. Ada is a very fun person and a great actress with unbelievable acting skills. She taught me a lot in acting. Flora is a very nice person no matter if it is acting or in reality. She really brings her heart out when it comes to making friends. She is not at all a 'stuck-up'. Everything comes from her heart. Out of all of my rumoured girlfriends, I am most compatible with her. Maybe it is because we are both from overseas. Anyway, I was born on April 16, 1971. My family and I immigrated to Austrailia when I was 12 years old. Later, I returned to Hong Kong and became a model. I gradually went into the movie industry, and in 2000, I joined TVB. Many people say that it should be my turn for winning this year's 'Best Actor' at TVB's Anniversary, but there are so many great actors in TVB like Roger Kwok, Bobby Au Yeung, Michael Miu, and Bowie Lam. Many others deserve the award more than I do. There is still plenty of room for improvement in my acting".

Representative Works: "Healing Hands II & III", "Where the Legend Begins", "Family Man", "Perish in the Name of Love", "War and Beauty", "The Gentle Crackdown", "The Charm Beneath", "The Dance of Passion", etc.

Personal Note: The 'Moses' features is all over that picture. Moses is a very nice and modest person. He doesn't like to take credit for things he has done. He is so charismatic! Moses would have to be my second favourite after Chi Lam. My favourite series of his would have to be "Family Man" because Siu Hin Wah is such a lovable character. Plus, he's paired up with Flora in there.

Baby Yoyo

Yoyo Mung Ka Wai
Yoyo MungYoyo Mung
"My name is Yoyo Mung Ka Wai, and I was born on August 3, 1973. I am a very straight, broad-minded person. I am also a tomboy. I enjoy doing sports like bowling, water skiing, wake boarding, martial arts, etc. I have to get Lawrence Ng and Anne Heung to teach me how to play golf. If I get a hang of that, then I'll probably take that up, too. I have recently finished filming a Tae Kwan Do scene with Moses Chan for 'The Ultimate Crime Fighter', and now I am bruised all over and have injured my foot. Other than that, the filming went smoothly. I am really happy for getting the opportunity to play the 'fighter girl' in series. It is a new image for me, and it is refreshing for audience members to watch".

Representative Works: "Healing Hands II", "Burning Flame II", "The 'W' Files", and "Forensic Heroes".

Personal Note: This Yoyo picture was taken in Yuen Long when she was 8 years old. She looked very cute and happy because she got to ride her bike around in a big place. Yoyo was still sucking on a pacifier at the age of 3; it wasn't until her mother took it away from her that she started to grow out of it.

Baby Charmaine

Charmaine Sheh Si Man
Charmaine ShehCharmaine Sheh
"Hi, my name is Charmaine Sheh Si Man, and I was born on May 28, 1975. Many people call me by my nickname, Ah Sheh. In 1997, I took part in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant and won second runner-up (third place). Next year will be my 10th year working for TVB. Hopefully, I will have a chance at winning 'Best Actress' at TVB's Anniversary Ceremony. Everybody has a chance to win. If I lose, I will just work harder and hopefully something will pay off. He he".

Representative Works: "Return of the Cuckoo", "Country Spirit", "Perish in the Name of Love", "Point of No Return", War and Beauty", and "The Dance of Passion".

Personal Note: It so resembles Charmaine in this picture. She was actually a pretty cute baby.

Baby Myolie

Myolie Wu Hang Yi
Myolie Wu
"My name is Myolie Wu Hang Yi. I was born on November 6, 1979. I entered TVB after winning Miss Hong Kong Pageant second-runner up (third place). In my modern series, my favourite character is Ling Ling from "Survivors' Law", and my favourite character in an anicient series is Tin Lik from "Wars of In-Laws". I really love to act! It would be a dream come true if I can work with Andy Lau Tak Wah! I am currently filming 《肥田囍事》 with Andy Hui Chi On. In order to get into character, I have put on some weight for the role. I am weighing in at 150 lb. right now. This is all done for the sake of acting. Hopefully, the series will wrap up filming soon".

Representative Works: "Golden Faith", "Triumph in the Skies", "Survivor's Law", and "Wars of In-Laws".

Personal Note: Myolie's Japanese stepmother gave her a Japanese name, Miyori, when she was younger. Before leaving to the States to study, her father didn't like the idea of a Chinese person having a Japanese name. Thus, she changed it to 'Myolie' because it had a similar pronunciation to Miyori. People who don't know how to pronounce 'Myolie' would read it as 'My Only'.

Baby Anne

Anne Heung Hoi Lam
Anne HeungAnne Heung
"Hi, my name is Anne Heung Hoi Lam. I was born on October 2, 1974. I was born in Hong Kong, China, but I graduated from the University of British Columbia in Canada. After my studies, I returned to HK, and later, I took part in Miss Hong Kong Pageant 1998 and was crowned the winner. I have worked for TVB for many years and through work, I met a lot of friends from the industry like Kenix Kwok, Eileen Yeow, Yoyo Mung, and many more. It was also through work that I knew I was related to Vinci Wong Yin Chi. Even though I am younger, he calls me 'biu yi' (auntie)".

Representative Works: "Love is Beautiful" and "Lady Yang".

Personal Note: I believe Anne is the cutest girl kid. I always admired Anne for her friendliness, intelligence, and her ability to play evil roles.

《TVB Weekly》 Issue 301

Ada Choi and Flora Chan force Moses Chan to divulge information, “Have you ever thought of pursuing us?”
M = Moses Chan A = Ada Choi F = Flora Chan
tvb001tvb002tvb003tvb004

Are you taken? 名草有主
A: You are very, very hard worker when it comes to learning Chinese, but you are so bad! Your Chinese is only okay! Who taught you?!
M: It’s you (did not indicate whom)
A: He says it’s you! (pointing at Flora)
F: It’s you! (pointing at Ada) He’s saying that you always fool around in the studio making it difficult for him to act!
A: Do you think we are very violent?
M: (hesitant) No, you two are not violent. You two are very gentle, not at all violent! That’s impossible!

A: Why do people want to?
M: It’s because of you (looking at Ada as he speaks)
A: Have you thought of the reason why?
M: It’s because I’m repugnant. I can’t think of any other reason why.
A: Are you taken? 名草有主 Do you have 4 or 5 (girlfriends) at home?! Speak up!
M: Eh…many. There’s a lot.
A: They’re all pork chops okay, next question when rumours surface, do you have to report to anyone?
M: (big laugh) I have to report to my husband!
A: Do you have to report to your mother?
M: No!
A: Let me speak! You don’t have to clarify because you’re always with your older brother! Do you have to report to Ada Choi? Do you have to report to Flora Chan?
M: No!

You like pork chops

A: You’ve been in modeling, movies, and television, which one do you like better?
M: Eh!
A: Speak now! Which one do you like? Flora Chan and Ada Choi, who do you like better?
M: Floda! (that is, Flora + Ada) Ha ha! I’m going to answer the previous question. I like all of them: modeling is okay, you get a sense of success in filming movies but it’s limited in the character you play, and it’s a change for television because there are a variety of roles to play.
A: When you’re filming television series, who is your favourite male co-star?
M: Kai Wah (Lawrence Ng)
A: You’re so cheap; you just pick him because he’s a boss.
M: I didn’t know he’s a boss.
A: Which producer do you cooperate with the happiest? (all 3 of them laugh)
M: You say it first, I’ll follow you!
A: Wah! Let’s not talk about this! Which female co-star do you cooperate with the happiest?
M: Floda
F: It’s either that or Daflo!
F: You always have a problem with your voice box. Have you ever thought of not working in this industry?
M: My voice box, a little! (laughs)
A: (interrupts) Not only do you have problems with your voice box, you thought of leaving this industry when you weren’t famous. For a guy to like pork chops, guitar…
F: Pork chops?!
M: Not those kinds of pork chops, its cooking pork chops and cutting pork chops!
A: Which are you better at?
M: Cooking steaks!
A: Who do you have 忘年戀 with?
F: What’s 忘年戀?
A: It is liking a girl who is 15 years younger than he is. He’s into that kind of stuff!
M: Nothing! Nothing!
F: (to the reporter) Aren’t we supposed to ask him about what were his most memorable things about us?
M: I’ll start with Ada. There was this one time I pulled a prank on her by slapping her. She was very mad. I’ve never seen her so angry before.
A: Was I really angry?
F: Ada doesn’t get angry that easily!
M: Flora sometimes doesn’t speak to me. She’s rather moody.
F: If I don’t speak to you, that means that you’ve done something wrong!
A: It has to be that you don’t return your calls and probably not paying any attention to her when she’s speaking!

Have you ever thought of pursuing us

A: What are our good qualities? If you miss any, I’ll punch you!
M: Wait, wait, let me think! Eh…
A: Eh! Flora and I will both punch you!
M: Beautiful! Smart, clever, no matter in reality or in series, you two are really intelligent!
A: Enough! Have you thought of pursuing either one of us?
M: Wah!
A: Say no! No!
M: Of course I have. You two are very attractive women, you two are not violent, and are both gentle. How would I have not thought about it!
A: How come you didn’t come after us?
M: It’s because I don’t want to get beat up! (Seeing the 3 of them asking questions so happily, the reporter asked a question: whom would you pick to be your wife and whom would you pick to be your lover?)
M: Ada for outside and Flora for inside!
A: Wah! I’ll teach you how to answer. Neither of them for being a wife!
F: That’s a good way of answering!
M: Okay, both of them are not!
A: Both of us are lovers! We are lovers when we film together!
M: Ah, yes! (they all continue to laugh)

P.S. Do you think that Flora asked very few questions? It’s because she was responsible for listening to the answers and was laughing throughout the whole interview.

Baby Louis

Louis Koo Tin Lok
Louis Koo
"My name is Louis Koo Tin Lok. Many people call me by my nickname, Koo Jai. I was born on October 21, 1970. I started off as a model for clothing and karaoke. My skin color was always very pale-looking; it wasn't until 1997 that I started to tan my skin. After becoming dark, my image gave off a very 'cool' look. I probably seem cool because, in reality, I don't like to speak much. Same as Chi Lam, I, too, have experienced filming television series, movies, and singing. Unlike Chi Lam, my singing skills aren't that great. Although my main focus is movies right now, I would like to release another music album because you can make a lot of money doing shows. For a one-hour show, I would sing 3 songs, and I would receive a sum of 100,000HKD. Pretty good, huh? Also, I'm filming so many movies right now. Hopefully, one of them will race out and gain me a 'Best Actor Award'.

Representative Works: "A Step Into the Past", "At the Threshold of an Era", and "Detective Investigation Files IV".

Personal Note: The baby picture does not resemble Louis at all. Louis looks very serious in the picture...no wonder he has the 'cool' image. Even though it is a black and white picture, you can tell that he was very white-skinned. Louis also has very nice dimples.
