Malay speaking Mother and baby group

[mummybee]

Har,
I am in the processing of getting an Indonesian helper to come over to work for me. I called up the number you listed and guess what? they want to charge me $13,000 !!!!!! that is the most expensive agency charge I know from calling several agencies. Mind if I ask how you manage to get 1400?

incidentally, was reading this thread with interest as hubby and i are both malaysian and we both miss malaysian food heaps. good authentic malaysian food, that is. our daughter now 11months was born 30/8/05. too bad can't "hold her in" to give birth 1 day later coinciding with merdeka day. haha.

kara23, you mention you live in Belcher's. Do you by any chance work in HKU (I used to and travelled pass Belchers every day; also know many belchers residents who work in HKU)?

jane, are you still reading this thread? i am also from sabah, kota kinabalu specifically. have been to sandakan once in my girlhood but that is a long time ago. left sabah 1988 to migrate to australia.

incidentally, to my m'sian friends in this thread, anyone who knows of a helper (indo/phil) whom they could recommend to me? eg ex-helper of a friend etc. i don't really want to look through agencies or websites. like all mums, i haven't found anyone whom i trust to care for my 11-month-old so i quit a good job to become stay home mum. i just find out my part-timer has been stealing from me - she took coins from our coin pouch and granted, it is not a lot of money and i was prepared to give her second chance 'cos she is so good at what she does. but the trust is gone. was prepared to take her full-time too! would appreciate if someone can help....

I'm so happy to see this thread by accidentally found. I'm Malaysia Chinese, hometown in KK, have been staying in KL for past 10 years. Recently residing in Shen Zhen, China as my hubby is working here. In fact, we're new here just about 1 month, it's unthinkable that i can find a lot of space friends from Malaysia and even from my hometown, KK.

I have a 28months old boy with us here but to be a stay-at-home mother isn't as easy as i yearned, so i do hope i can find a playgroup for my boy and even for myself that really can cheer me up. Although my place quite far away from you all, i think i'm still able to meet your sometimes when i'm going down to HK.

Actually i'm quite keen to join the Merdeka celebration, i do wish my son can remember where are we from and what is our origin custom! Can i join? But be frankly i'm not good in Malay speaking, so does my hubby.

Lastly to say, i'm thankful that i can find this forum and meet you all.

Dear all, we are at Dali, Yunnan Province at the moment. Lovely ancient city and delicious wild mushrooms! Guess what, we found at least 2 Malaysian restaurants in Kunming and diffierent type of so called "Malaysian food" in the menu of various restaurants.....Didn't dare to try though, hahaha!

Re Merdeka Celebration, I would love to welcome more fellow Malaysian to join. Unfortunately, my apartment is tiny.... Let me think of a solution and will reply to you once I am back to HK.

To those who have expressed an interest in joining the Merdeka celebration, please check your email.

MALAYSIA BOLEH!

Hi Mummybee, kara23 lives in Bel-air. I live in Belcher's. I do know someone who is working in HKU music department. I go to HKU very often. Sometimes in the morning with my daughter, we will go to the Lily pond or Starbucks or bookshop or museum or foodcourt. Sometimes in the evening with my hubby for an after dinner walk and to watch the Disney fireworks. I like HKU very much!

I have just checked the previous messages and please corret me if I am wrong that PeiShih, MainFong, PhuiHar, SFGal, Quinsiya-Asley and Yucreations are interested in joining the Merdeka Celebration.

Am dying to have Asian friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please invite me when ever you guys have events. we live at stanley.., is anyone live near by??

 

[mummybee]

Kara, i should have made myself clearer. I don't live in Belchers or Bel-air. It is just that I used to work in HKU Faculty of Medicine the blue building farther out overlooking the bay not the main campus with lili pond. My colleague used to live in Belchers and The Westwood downstairs of Belchers was our regular lunchtime haunt! Sadly I will not be able to join you all for merdeka lunch. hubby and baby and myself are visiting my parents in Australia on 25/8 in time for bub's 1st birthday. BTW, I live on Hollywood Road, SoHo. Any Malaysians particularly sabahans nearby ???
