Angela Tong accepted [Mingpao Weekly] exclusive interview despite being 8
months pregnant. She went to the interview with her 42-inch giant belly
and expressed: "The first
Inbound Troubles promotion was held on
an open top bus and there isn't seat belts on the bus, it's a little
dangerous. Chin Ka Lok didn't think that was too good, so that's why I
didn't go. After we finished with our marriage and wedding, I
concentrated on my pregnancy. Since I get tired easily, I could only go
out to the supermarkets to buy groceries to make soup. My friends have
scolded me that I cannot be like that, so today it would be impossible
for me not to go out. Let me tell you, I am currently 8 months pregnant,
but I don't even have a shirt for my baby to wear when we discharge
from the hospital. My mom has to help me buy everything."
Angela
sure does have a giant belly, when asked if she already thought of a
name for her baby? She said: "I'm responsible for the English name, I
want her name to follow mines, a name that begins with an 'A'. Ka Lok is
responsible for the Chinese name." Angela's belly is so big, it's a
little exaggerating, "Haha! I measured my belly, its 42 inches and
weighs over 40 pounds! I'm considered pretty lucky, my baby is doing
very well. Since I became pregnant, everything started going smoothly. I
did not have any difficulty whatsoever, I didn't have morning sickness
at all. Many other pregnant women would feel especially disgusted by
certain foods, but I don't have that wanting-to-vomit feeling. I just
want to eat, and this allows me to really enjoy food. Also, I think I
look quite pretty like this."
When asked if she's planning to
give birth naturally or via C-section? Has she discussed with Chin Ka
Lok yet? Angela laughed: "No need to discuss, we both plan to have more.
We aren't young, but we don't just want to have one child. I hope we
have two or three children. Ka Lok and I both have brother and sisters,
it's better for children to have companions. We talk about anything, so
won't be alone on this. Actually, I don't mind whether the baby is a
boy or girl. I still haven't decided on whether I should give birth
naturally or via C-section. I saw my younger cousin, who had a natural
birth, she was able to get out of bed quickly. I have nose allergies and
often sneeze, also I'm worried the wound would be difficult to deal
with after surgery."
Angela is expected to due mid-March, Ka Lok
expressed before after he finishes up his current jobs, he'll take time
off to spend with his wife. "Ka Lok should take off to accompany me,
but I don't know if he's coming into the delivery room with me yet
because he's scared of blood. If he has to work, that's fine too because
when the time comes, I have 6 or 7 women in my family to accompany me,
my domestic worker, mother, mother-in-law and friends, Ka Lok might pass
out from being so frightened!"
Shooting Dangerous Scenes During PregnancyIn Angela's latest TVB series
Inbound Troubles,
she had a bed scene with both Bob Lam and Roger Kwok, which has
attracted a lot of discussions. Angela said: "I don't really have the
guts to watch the series at home. Ka Lok has been getting off work early
lately, so he's at home in the evenings. Earlier he saw a scene where
Roger was trying to please me, and gave me a kiss on the lip, he looked
at me and said: 'hey!' Ka Lok had such a huge reaction on an elementary
intimate scene, I was already in fear thinking, what are the intimate
scenes in the later episodes considered then? Next week, I have a scene
where I try to seduce Roger and that is even more intense. The last bed
scene I had with Bob, luckily he was out at a dinner gathering. I hope
next week there's going to be a soccer match or something, so he won't
pay attention to the series." Recall when Angela first started shooting
this series, she was not over 3 months pregnant yet, therefore the cast
and crew were unaware she was pregnant. No wonder she got so many bed
scenes, flying, jumping and other big action scenes. Angela said: "At
the time, nobody knew about my pregnancy, but I was careful. Just like
one scene, I had to pretend to be sexy and eat raw oysters, I turned
that scene down. My reason was I would vomit if I eat it, so the
director let me off. However, I had another falling on the floor scene
and asked the director if I could have a stunt double do it for me. At
the time they didn't know I was pregnant, so they kept saying the
cameras could accommodate me. In the end, I did the scene myself."
Now
as a wife and mother, will Angela request to not have too many intimate
scenes from now ont? "After I have my baby, I don't think I can get
back into acting that quickly. After all, I want to concentrate on my
baby. I can still do hosting jobs, but if I do shoot a series, I cannot
just ask to not do this or that scene. I have to look at the script
before I decide. I am still an artist after all, and the television
scale won't go too over."
Earlier when Chin Ka Lok played
All Star World Exam,
he won the big prize of two air tickets to travel the world. It turns
out this sneaky couple already had plans to celebrate their 1st wedding
anniversary late this year and perhaps hit "another target" and "have 2
babies and 3 years". Angela said: "Haha! We do indeed have plans to
celebrate our 1st year wedding anniversary in November. By that time,
the baby should be a little older. (You're willing to just leave your
baby behind?) I will have to even if I'm not willing to. What I'm really
not willing to do is let Ka Lok go with another woman. I asked him
before, if I can't go, which other woman would he choose to go with? He
said he'll go with Mimi Chu."
Toby Leung Takes Vacation to Babysit The
only reason why Angela has no worries is because her baby's "god
mother" Toby Leung promised she'll babysit her newborn when the time
comes. She said: "Toby agreed to help me babysit my baby girl. She has
nephews and nieces, so she's a good babysitter. I am not worried at
all." Good sister, Toby also admitted: "Angela's daughter is my
god-daughter. Earlier they checked the schedule with me. All of Angela's
big events in her life, such as marriage and babysitting, I handle it
all for her. During this period, I will take time off and concentrate
completely on taking care of her baby girl. They have to work hard and
quickly have more babies, then I'll be really happy. I can take this
opportunity to work hard myself (making baby)."
