Since joining TVB, Priscilla Wong (黃翠如) has enjoyed a smooth sailing. Although outwardly a happy-go-lucky person, Priscilla revealed that she grew up in poverty. While her father worked as a fishmonger, her mother took care of the household and children. Being a traditional Chaozhou man, her father always wanted to have a son. To his dismay, all five children were girls. Referring to her mother as a brilliant caretaker, Priscilla has no intentions of being a housewife. “In reality, I have not thought about when I want to be a housewife. Planning is not as practical as letting nature run its course. Even though I am not as giving as a housewife, I do enjoy the thrift shopping. For two dollars, I would walk to three different grocery stores. My mother is even more impressive because she will go to all the grocery stores to compare prices. She’s a super housewife!” Since her parents raised the family under tight financial circumstances, Priscilla was never given an allowance. To alleviate her parents and support herself, she earned income through tutoring jobs. Known for her simple-mindedness and frugality, Priscilla said, “Although I won’t buy clothes, I spend a lot on traveling and food. Especially when eating with my family, I don’t mind paying for the bill. I don’t have a concept of money. I never ask for my remuneration amount nor do I check to see how much I have in the bank. As long as I have enough money to pay for family expenses and have food on the table, then it is enough.” Enraptured by Edwin’s Positive Energy Falling in love with Edwin Siu (蕭正楠) after Madam Cutie on Duty <師奶Madam> , Priscilla said “During filming, other than his character in the role, I knew nothing about him. It was only after filming when we spent more time together that I cultivated feelings for him. I like that he is a positive and happy person. A simple gag joke can make him laugh nonstop. We are very alike in some ways.” When their relationship became public, Priscilla was deemed as the third party in Edwin and Gigi Ho’s (何傲芝) relationship. Priscilla admitted that she felt a lot of pressure. “At the time, I was very depressed. My love life became headline news and I was bombarded with questions by the media every day. Even when I had no noodles left at home, I couldn’t go out to buy any. I was unhappy, but I couldn’t complain. I can only accept it. “I personally have bad memory, so I quickly forgot about these unhappy things. The people around me love me and after their consolation, I would smile again. Being forgetful and having no personality is my most positive trait. In my life, there are more happy things than unhappy things. Life is simple because being happy is the biggest happiness.” Creds: stheadline
