Malay speaking Mother and baby group

[Har-loi]

Hi Wee Kean,

Thank you for the Merdeka festival invitation. It sounds really fun and exciting; how often can we celebrate our independence day outside Malaysia with a bunch of Malaysians!

The thing that really attract me most is - DURIAN!! yum yum yum.. so, please include Eleanor and myself.

P/S - I think I still know how to sing Negaraku.

Cheers,
Phui Har

Hi Wee Kean,

Thanks for the invite to your place. I would love to come. Yes, I am in HK and my cellphone has voicemail but I am not sure why I didn't get your call. Will email you.

Kara, happy first birthday to your baby boy.

Let me know about the lunch. It would be great to meet everyone.

Helper Recommendation

On a side note, I wanted to see if anyone has an Indonesian helper. I am looking for one (so I can converse in Malay) whom can also speak some English (as hubby doesn't speak Malay). This is my first time looking, so any recommendations on how to start? I am due in November and need a helper soon. Feel free to send me a PM if you can share additional information.

Helper recommendation

Hi SG Gal,

I used an employment agency for my indonesian helper and so far the service provided by the agency and the helper they recommended are good. These helpers go through intensive training before coming to HK and mostly know how to speak English and Cantonese (learned at training camp). However, I speak to my helper in Malay most of the time.

If you are interested, below is the relevant information:-
Agency - Megasea Employment Agency Limited
Person I liaise with - Janet Lo (Customer Service Officer).
Direct Line - 21939568
Office - In Mongkok and Causeway Bay
Agency fee paid - HKD1,400 (including their insurance, medical check-up, air ticket, etc.)

Hi girls!
Wee Kean, your National Day party sounds really fun! I will be back by then so definitely count me in.
You are most welcome to bring your baby to Bel-Air's playroom, it is usually deserted in the daytime so lots of room for them to roam around. Then maybe we can have a coffee at my place! Email me at [email protected]. This invite extends to all in this group, ok!!

Hi Kara23, WeeKean, et. al.

Not Malay myself, but hubby spent 10+ years in Malaysia before moving to Canada... and we both love Malay food (esp. beef rendang and ko loh mee!). Have a 17-month old that gets exposed to Malay only when visiting friends/family in Kuching/KL... Is it okay to join up with you guys once in a while? Can't do it all the time as you guys live on the opposite end of the island from us! :tongue:

Har-loi, thanks so much for the info. It's so helpful esp the agency contact info. I'm glad to know where to start now.

Merdeka Mini Celebration

Dear fellow Malaysian,

Re Merdeka Celebration, is it ok if we start early, say at about 11.30am? This is because we can go to Gymboree free play session at 2pm, after all the chit chat, National song singing, play and makan makan...

Please let me know if this is still ok for you.

HL, the chili paste that you gave me was sooooooo spicy!!!!! It was fantastic!!!!!!!! Thanks very much!
