Mother's Day Special (CRHK Radio) [write-up]...

decided to translate this interview because i really like it...
and we get to hear about the side of moses that only his mother knows...

and i will be dividing the translation into sections because i want to add some of my own comments... hehehe...

overall comment:
i'm not use to hearing a grown man call his mother "mommy"... it's just weird even for a teen boy... but i think moses is an exception... hahaha... he sounds so cute when he says, "mommy"...

SY: cha siu yan
MM: moses' mommy (mo ma)
MO: moses

Part 1...
section 1: intro, moses is a baby, moses is available, etc...
section 2: moses bringing girls home, moses' rumors, etc...
section 3: moses was a good child, moses is a good man, mo ma's biggest lesson, etc...
section 4: sweet things moses does for his mommy (what she likes & what she doesn't like), etc...

section 1:

SY: so everyone cha duk cang continues to introduce star-level mothers and upcoming guest moses' mommy is coming... each mother's story filled with very emotional and sentimental feeling... each star-level mommy has a different personality... listen to each of them tell their son's/daughter's story then you will know how they are "cha duk cang"...

SY: ok in the recording studio we now have moses and his mommy... auntie!!! [MO: hahaha...]
MM: hello, how are you...
SY: hi, how are you... so we just gave a present to chan mama [MO: mmm (yes)...] as a mother's day sentiment... and because... chan mama you know why, right??? this pink set of cups and plates... because you have such a good son, moses, [MO: hahaha..!] you can really have a drink (this is a chinese saying), right?!!
MM: yes, thank you... [MO: hahaha..!]
SY: so i really hope that next year you will use this set of cup to drink your daughter-in-law tea (this means moses getting married)... hahaha..! [MO: wah..! hahaha..!] [MM: hahaha..!] ok moses??? hahaha..!
MO: drink a cup of coffee first, let me calm my nerves first... hahaha..!
SY: calm your nerves first!!!
[everyone laughs]
SY: auntie, are you drinking daughter-in-law tea???
MM: ehhh... it doesn't matter... my sons are happy then i'm happy...
SY: auntie, how many sons do you have???
MM: i have 3 sons 1 daughter...
SY: yes and moses is number???
MM: baby!!!
SY: hahaha..!
MO: i'm a big baby...
SY: hahaha!!! yes...
MO: laughing so loud... hahaha...
SY: yes, a very giant baby..!
[everyone laughs]
SY: so chan mama i want to ask is it 'last son pulls heart' (this means loving him the most because he is the youngest) loves most is moses..?
MM: not because i love him the most... it's because he's the most filial...
SY: oh out of the 4...
MO: no all 3 are filial... all 4 are filial...
MM: all 4 are filial...
SY: all 4 are filial..?
MM: but he is special... [gets cut off by moses]
MO: the other one is a god sibling... haha...
MM: sister (older) is... sister is...
SY: godsister...
MO: yes...
SY: but she's like family... [MM: she's like a daughter... yes yes...] [MO: yes yes...]
SY: so all 4 aren't married yet??? [MM: no..!] auntie, right???
MM: i already have 2 grandchildren...
SY: ohhh..! so... yee... then moses... [gets cut off by moses]
MO: godsister's... godsister's...
SY: oh godsister's [MO: yes... hahaha..!] [MM: hahaha...]
SY: all 3 sons not married yet???
MM: yea... not...
SY: then chan mama did you ever rush moses to get married???
MM: nope...
SY: is it because you think that he is now putting work as priority... [MO: eeehehehe...]
MM: they have their own ideas... they are now adults, right..? i can't help them make their choices...
SY: you see once you say that moses' ears turn all red [MO: hahaha...] chan mama...
MO: no... have to say it's because we work in 'front of the curtains' so we always have to carry a label that says available to give everyone some imagination... hahaha..! [SY: ahhh... haha...] [MM: hahaha...]
SY: [laughing] meaning not married and available... haha...
MO: [laughing] single... yes, still single... available... haha...
SY: then chan mama was moses very young when his ears started to easily turn red..?
MM: uhhh... face turns red not just ears...
SY: face turns red too..? we now just see his ears turn red... [MM: aw (yes)...] that means he's not that shy now, right??? [MO: mmmhehehe...] hahaha...
MM: really has gotten better...

my comment:
my favorite part is in this section... hehe... it's the part about him being a baby... i just find it so cute how moses is already pretty old and physically so big yet his mommy still refers to him as her baby... to me he's also a baby... so adorable and cute... hahaha...

mo ma said moses is special... too bad she wasn't able to elaborate... but i guess we all already know why he's so special... i'm sorry, but i can't stop praising him... and beware there are more to come... hehehe...

i don't know if any of you noticed, but the first time moses said 'available' it sounded like 'avaluable'... hahaha... and that's a new word thanks to moses... it's the word available and valuable put together... moses is available and valuable... haha...

section 2:

SY: laughing so weird... then i want to ask... chan mama did he ever bring a girlfriend home to let you see???
MM: ehhh...
SY: moses don't say anything... [MO: haha...]
MM: he... from young our house especially in australia there are a lot of girls who come... because we live across the beach... once we cross the street is the beach so his friends will come to our house to swim, after swimming then shower, after surfing... our porch is very big... everyone comes to play...
SY: oh it's like a club house...
MM: yes, everyone said it's the chinese students club...
MO: haha...
SY: then when he came back, did moses bring home any girls??? haha... [MO: hahaha...]
MM: he never brought a girl and introduced her as girlfriend and girls i've seen many...
SY: many too???
MM: yes...
SY: then chan mama would you ask??? you know being a person's mommy and i became a mommy i also understand will try to find out... hahaha... [MO: hahaha..!]
MM: me???
SY: yes...
MM: i usually don't ask...
SY: oh don't ask..?
MM: because i learned not to ask... the more you know the more you're unhappy so knowing less is better... [MO: yes...]
SY: then do you purposely not tell your mommy who you're dating, moses???
MO: aiya no... i do not... i... all my friends i show [gets cut off by mo ma]
MM: i know all of them..! [MO: hahaha...]
SY: know all of them...
MM: mmm (yes)...
MO: yes...
SY: then sometimes chan mama would read the newspaper..? [MM: mmm (yes)...] and newspapers have a lot of rumors... [MM: yes..!] then would you confirm with moses..?
MM: no need to confirm because i know..! there are no secrets in our home...
MO: mommy trusts me a lot...
SY: that means know what's real what's fake..? [MM: yes...] wah... then that's really good...
MM: from young i teach them not to lie... [SY: yes...] like if it's a white lie then that's ok... you want others to feel good... like if someone is sick and not happy [SY: a white lie...] that's ok, you are ok you get well... that type is good towards others then don't be afraid to say, right??? but others (lies) are not...
SY: yes... and moses... i don't think he knows how to lie... his ears turn red so easily... wah... it's really a... [MO: hahaha..!] is a... hahaha..! a demonstration device... hahaha..!
MO: hahaha..!

my comment:
that part about living across the beach makes me imagine moses in his wet suit... hahaha... he looks very sexy in that... for those who haven't seen him in a wet suit when he was still in his teens then click here: shirtless [4]...

and with all these questions about girlfriends and rumors we can tell that mo ma really protects her baby... haha... she won't tell us anything...

section 3:

SY: moses... when he was young was he considered a good child or a bad child???
MM: was a very very good child... [SY: mmm (yes)...)] i'm very proud because from young... from when he was a baby till now he never said to mommy a loud thing... absolutely not even say such a thing like "are you mistaken?!!" (an equivalent to "what the?!!")...
SY: wah..! so very good... [MM: yep...] how to teach..? hahaha..!
MO: hahaha..!
MM: sometimes... sometimes when i'm unhappy and frustrated he would: "no it's not mommy, no it's not... it's not like that... don't be angry don't be angry..."
SY: wah... chan mama did you worry that moses with this personality would be bullied when he started to work???
MM: did...
MO: ai... i'm always bullied..! hahaha...
SY: hahaha... especially since he's in the entertainment business..?
MM: from young i always teach them to try their best to help people... sometimes helping people is not just about money... using your strength is also helping... [SY: yes yes...] right..? as long as you can give and have the ability to help somebody then it's better than needing somebody to help you... [SY: yes...] then i say to him that he is luckier and he said: "yes... there was this time in 7-eleven someone asked me... he said... [MO: haha... tourist/traveler, right..?] yes, tourist/traveler... "he asked me to buy some things for him..." i taught them not to give money..! even if someone comes and begs don't give money..! [SY: aw (yes)... yes...] he needs what... he needs bus ticket you buy him a bus ticket..! he needs food you buy him food..! [SY: then he (moses) really spent it on the things he (tourist/traveler) needed???] yes... then he said the person went to pick toothpaste and shampoo and pick some things costing him a few hundred dollars...
SY: in 7-eleven?!!
MO: no at first he asked me to lend money... and i said: "money can't... what do you need i'll buy some for you..." he said he just needed shampoo sort of things... i said: "ok shampoo... i'll bring you to 7 to buy it..." [SY: uh...] at 7 bought shampoo and then he said: "can i have something to drink" "ok allow" "can i have something to eat" "ok allow"... add together... don't know... like even more than i would give him... hahaha..!
SY: wah..! is it because he recognized you are moses???
MO: no no..! [MM: don't recognize don't recognize...] he's a tourist/traveler who's walking down the street and "don't have any money on me and wanted to buy something... [MM: it's happened a long time ago...] [SY: aw (ok)...] can you... lend me some money???" that sort of thing...
SY: yes...
MM: now he doesn't even have time...
SY: yes now he doesn't even have time to walk around on the street..?
MM: yes... now when he does he sleeps...
SY: yes yes... then auntie you are very worried about moses with this very sincere nature, right???
MM: yes..!
SY: then, but is there a lesson that auntie taught you moses that left a deep impression??? like scold you or [MO: there is...] hit you..?
MO: always say no matter what us brothers, family members you can't choose... this person will be forever so you always have to be nice to your family members and love your family members... on the other hand, wife, girlfriend, other friends around you will come and go you can say... will come and go... you don't know when one will leave when one will come... so flipping around family members will always be number one...
SY: then in the future when you pick a girlfriend the first thing is your mommy must like her???
MO: of course... need mommy to like her... [SY: mhmm (yes)...] yes...
SY: then... auntie you can relax..? hahaha..!
MO: hahaha..!
MM: if he likes then of course i will like... i think the woman must respect the man, the man must really love the woman then it will be everlasting...

my comment:
awww... moses never yells at his mommy... such a good child... and the way he speaks to his mommy when she's angry... he's too good to be true...

and the way he helps others... he's too nice!!!

i love how his mommy quotes him... she changes her voice making it sound cute and kiddish... hahaha... moses probably sounds like that to her... or maybe he talks to her in that way... which is super cute!!!

section 4:

SY: then moses really loves you auntie, i know... [MM: yes...] but would he do anything to please/sweet-talk you... does he know how do something to really please/sweet-talk you to make you very happy..?
MM: he's not even pleasing/sweet-talking... it's really sincere... like... but there are things that make me very angry...
MO: hahaha..! it's coming...
SY: it has to be spending money..!
MO: it's coming it's coming..!
MM: it is it is...
SY: whoever is a mommy will be like that...
MM: like happy is like this... like i say i'm cold when i'm walking down the street with him [SY: yes...] i say: "wah..! why is it so windy so cold..." "wait wait... wait a second..." then he would go inside (a store) and instantly buy a shirt to cover you...
SY: wah... [MM: like that...] really...
MM: then not happy is one time in australia... like 2000 australian dollars is a lot of money... [SY: wah!!! a lot of money... 10000 something dollars (HK dollars)...] one of those leather coats that guy said: "right for you good good" tell me to try it on... i didn't even finish trying it he went to pay for it... [SY: oh..!] just fitting like that... i didn't even wear it once...
SY: too long..! hahaha..!
MO: hahaha..!
MM: there are a lot of clothes i never wore...
SY: yes... it's just him who sincerely wants to buy it for you, right auntie??? [MM: yes..!] haha... [MO: haha...] then moses you... next time let auntie try it on... and you are afraid auntie is frugal not willing to buy it, right???
MO: ehhh... don't know... maybe... later i found out that men can't buy clothes for women... [SY: yes...] you have to let them like it first then it's better...
SY: yes...
MO: then it's better... haha...
SY: yes!!!
MO: yes...
SY: yes... correct... so you... [gets cut off by moses]
MO: so i got smarter... bring mommy to pick... after she picks then i pay then it's good...
SY: then moses now when you know girlfriends are you like that???
MO: me..?
SY: won't in private randomly buy presents for someone..?
MO: yes..! [SY: hahaha...] in the past use to think that whatever i like that person likes, but that's not true... [SY: yes...] always wrong this method... so after some time find out that that's not it... so the best is to ask the other person what they like first then go buy it... hahaha...
SY: that is good auntie... positive lesson...
[everyone laughs]

my comment:
moses is so sweet!!! i think he doesn't care how much he spends on his mommy... haha...

and the thing about buying presents for his girlfriend... i would be happy even if he gave me a stick of gum... hahaha... seriously..!
