Selamat Tahun Baru!
I am Malaysian Chinese living in HK since August 2004. My daughter is 26 months old. My hometown is Rawang, Selangor. I can speak Mandarin, Malay, English, Hakka, Hokkien and broken Cantonese (with strong Malaysian accent)
I am part of a group of Malaysian mothers that meets up approximately twice a month to speak Manglish, catch up and makan :) We are a mix of working and stay at home mums.
Once a month, we meet with children at somebody's house with everyone bringing a dish (pot-luck style) - the best bit! The adults will chat and children will play.
And, once a month, mothers meet up for dinner to cakap-cakap!
We welcome any Malaysian, Singaporean or Indonesian mums to join us. Let's meet up either face to face or through the internet to exchange parenting tips or simply chating about anything and everything!

Hi Wee kean! Let me be the second to reply your thread!! Haha...
I am mummybee, mom to a 16-month-old girl. Have been in HK 3 years, originally from the beautiful village-town of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia then migrated to the most livable city, Melbourne, Australia, for >15 yrs before relocating to HK 'cos of hubby's work. I can speak Hakka and Mandarin, but am embarrassed with my Malay.
Looking very much forward to our next "outing" with the rest if the girls!!

Hi girls,
Here are my suggestions:
Girls' night out either on 17th, 24th or 31st of January (Wed)?
Venue: either Vbest or Sabah or new places?
New places: any suggestions?
How about the Si Chuan Da Ping Huo private kitchen at Hollywood road? It's HKD250 per person, starts between 6.30pm to 7pm or 9.30pm.
Or Towngas Avenue at TST, next to Intercontinental, Star Avenue? They have a lovely outdoor area with great Victoria Harbour view.
Mums and Children gathering on 22nd of January Monday at 9.30am at the Pokfulam road playground. Mums can bring homecooked breakfast and children can play at the playground. There are two swings in the playground which my daughter loves very much. I will ask my helper to come to help so that mummies can chat.
What do you think?
Please support our advertisers:
Hello Ladies, it's good to know that there are actually quite a few Malaysian moms in Hong Kong.
I'm SeeYen and have been living in Hong Kong for 13years (seems the longest among those who responded). Married to a local chap and have two boys, age 4 and 2.5years and in my mid-30s. In the years that i'm here, I've never made any Malaysian mom friends, the closest being some good friends from Singapore.
Would love to join in the next gathering.
Please support our advertisers:
I have changed email address, gals, cos I can't access yahoo still. WeeKean I have sent you a private PM; please check and update my email address. Many thanks.

Thanks Leiti. Welcome to our group.
It seems to take me forever trying to find the username or may be I am using wrong method? Can I just type the username that I want or I have no choice but to scholl down?
I am quite new here so still trying to learn how to make good use of this website.

Hi mums,
If you would like to join the Girls' night out, please let me know your choice of day and venue.
Please support our advertisers:
Count me in. I prefer the following:
(1) 17th or 24th but not 31/1 'cos we are moving the next day;
(2) Hollywood Road Restaurant sounds lovely - it is close to home which is great as I have a curfew of 9-ish to put my daughter to sleep
(3) Would be lovely too if we can have it at 6.30pm 'cos of my curfew. Time flew the other night we met I wish we had more time.
As with the mum+baby playgroup, I would like to join too, daughter and helper coming along. Where is Pokfulam Playground???
Please support our advertisers:
Incidentally, do you gals know abt the "Proud Parents" section? I posted a picture of my daughter and it feels like we are the parents of a celebrity. HA HA HA...
Please support our advertisers:
Wee Kean, from your description, it does sound like we have met...I might have sold something to you as I'm a regular on the Trading Post section :)
I'm also not very sure of how to use this 'PM' function but it is clearer now. Once a date and time has been decided on the gathering, I will fit in accordingly since my time is rather flexible as long as I know events in advance.
Please support our advertisers:
Pokfulam Road playground is along Pokfulam Road. If you are coming from Central, you can take bus no. 40 or 40M or 37A or 23 or any buses that go to Queen Marry hospital or Wah Fu. or ShaWan Drive or Cyberport or Bel Air.
If you are taking taxi, tell the taxi driver it is near no. 90 Pokfulam Road.
Girls' night out on 17th at Si Chuan Tai Ping Huo, Hollywood road (3 confirmed votes - Kara, Mummybee and WK) I can book for 6.30pm. On time mums can save food for late mums. Please note that HKD250 per person is excluding drinks.
Other mums, can you confirm your vote? ChristianOO1? Leiti? Elaine? SeeYen?
Mums and Babies outing (3 confirmed votes - Kara, Mummubee and WK) Would you like to meet earlier, say, 15th of Jan?
I will bring fried noodle for kids (mushroom, fishcakes, vege and meehoon with dark sauce)
Can other mums sponsor cut fruits? drinks? vege? homemake cookies/cakes? sandwich?
Mummybee, please let us know what your daughter cannot take. We will try to avoid it.

I've booked and need to re-confirm on 19th of Jan and pay deposit. Once confirmed and paid, no refund. So, any changes, please let me know before 19th of Jan.
Peng, I know, that restaurant's food is really spicy. I have been there for 5 times since I came to HK in 2004 because it's a nice place to take family and friends.
We can accomodate 12 people in one big table so please let me know if you want to join us. We can see this as CNY reunion dinner?

Hi WK & All,
Am previously a Malaysian during childhood and now a Singaporean. Have been in Singapore >15years before I relocate to HK >3 years ago. My girl is 3yrs 2.5 months, speaks only English and understands Cantonese, as her grandparents are local. Sometimes I speak to her in my drizzle Malay and she laughs. Wonders if she finds it funny cos my Malay has all been given back to school after I went to Singapore. And am embarrassed about my Malay too since I scored distinction in Malay. Ouch! Tapi tidak apa, maybe boleh catch up lagi… Ha ha ha.
I would like to join the your outings and the babies group, but am working.. Saya boleh join your groups kalau the outings is held somewhere near Sabah Restaurant, Western, since I can easily pop back home for my girl’s bedtime. The last time when we had a late outing and the grandparents babysit, she waited for us till 1:30am to get home before she sleeps.
Meantime, you all have fun
