Karen Mok
Karen Joy Morris (born 2 June 1970), better known as Karen Mok or Mok Man-wai (莫文蔚) among Chinese-speaking communities, is a three-time Golden Melody Award-winning Hong Kong actress and singer-songwriter.
Biography
Mok is the sister of the writer and producer Trevor Morris, and a granddaughter of Alfred Morris, the first principal of King's College, Hong Kong. She speaks English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Italian, and French.
She is of mixed ancestry: her father is half Chinese and half Welsh, while her mother is half-Chinese, quarter-Iranian, and quarter-German. Mok attended Diocesan Girls' School from primary to secondary grade in Hong Kong. When she was a F.5 student, she received the 1st Hong Kong Outstanding Students Awards. She later left Hong Kong in 1987 and studied abroad. She attended United World College of the Adriatic near Trieste, Italy from 1987 to 1989, and majored in Italian literature when studying at the Royal Holloway, University of London.
Mok is often credited as "Karen Mok" in Chinese and Hong Kong films, but as "Karen Joy Morris" (her birth name) in Hollywood productions such as Around the World in 80 Days (2004). She supplied the voice of Princess Kida for the Cantonese dub of Walt Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). Mok performed in the 10th anniversary Asian tour of the hit Broadway musical Rent in the lead role of Mimi in 2005 and 2006.
Mo (surname)
The Chinese family name Mo (莫) is pronounced in Mandarin as "Mò" (4th tone), in Cantonese as "Mok6" (6th tone), in Hmong as "Moua", "Mua", or "Muas" and in Vietnamese as "Mạc". The surname is often romanized as Mok where Cantonese speakers are prominent. According to a study of Mu Ying's Name record, the surname came to be when descendants of the antediluvian ruler Zhuanxu abbreviated the name of his city, Moyangcheng (莫陽城; in modern-day Pingxiang County, Hebei) and took it as their surname.
As Chinese family names go, Mo is relatively rare, ranked 168th in the Hundred Family Surnames. In 2004, there were an estimated 73,000 people with the surname of Mo abroad and 1,540,000 Mo's in China.
When not used as a surname, 'Mo' (莫) means 'do not'.

by: Karen Mok06撫摸你的頭髮
07把那陣氣味消化
08回味著你剛才的說話
想念你的嘴巴
2020 回到我大廈
2120收到你的花
2320為你沏一杯茶
我們來吧
如果愛你 二十四小時夠不夠
一點點再愛一點
一點點又再老一點
我的天 我的天
見一面就愛一面
差一點就多一點只怕沒時間
好危險 好新鮮
09辦公室到達
說一些無關痛癢的話
我不愛的人他也不愛我吧
那真是笑話
1910有人來打岔
再說下去差點給我罵
像一格格荒謬的漫畫
我們走吧
如果愛你 二十四小時夠不夠
一點點再愛一點
一點點又再老一點
我的天 我的天
見一面就愛一面
差一點就多一點只怕沒時間
好危險 好新鮮
一點點再愛一點
一點點又再老一點
我的天 我的天
見一面就愛一面
差一點就多一點只怕沒時間
好危險 好新鮮
謀殺時間 我愛戀 我愛戀
又過一天 你的臉 我的臉
如果愛你 二十四小時夠不夠
一點點再愛一點
一點點又再老一點
我的天 我的天
見一面就愛一面
差一點就多一點只怕沒時間
好危險 好新鮮
一點點再愛一點
一點點又再老一點
我的天 我的天
見一面就愛一面
差一點就多一點只怕沒時間
