Overseas Chinese/Asian mums-2-B in Kowloon?

[gem]

Hi... This is a wonderful, informative forum for all 'upcoming' parents, living in HK. I've gleened lots of useful, interesting ideas and stuff already.

I'm going to be a first-time mum, due in late January 2010, and have opted for the public hospital route, while also seeing a private ob/gyn Dr for initial scans etc.

Wondering if there are any overseas Chinese/Asian mums-to-be OR just round New-Year's time mums-to-be in Kowloon who wouldn't mind meeting up for coffeeshop chat (even if without the coffee :missingto ).

Actually, we could get together anywhere along the MTR line where there's a shopping mall (quite a few). And oh, I'm Brit-born Chinese, a long timer in HK, and quite enjoying it... Except that this exciting experience being preggers is NEW... and I'm just getting used to it!

Do you speak Manderine? I am expecting my second one in Feb 2010. I am currently in Singapore but will move to HK soon, a bit stressed cause everything is new to me. I will live near KL Tong or somewhere there, should be easy to meet up once I move there.

Hi, would love to meet up too... my BB just turned 1 year. We live near Kowloon Tong side and anywhere in Kowloon is good for me.

I am from Singapore and has been living in HK for the past 9 years.

Hiya

I just checked back on Geobaby today - first time this month! - so must apologise for not replying to your friendly posts sooner :redface: (Won't be so absent-minded, silly, next time...)

solidstars & lisa88 - GREAT you've set up a get-together on Sat, tomorrow @ 3pm, at Fest Walk in Kowloon Tong (15mins from me!), but as I've only just found out about it, afraid won't be able to make it.

Would love to meet you's, more moms OR moms-to-be, in the area in the coming week or weekend. Ideally, next Fri teatime? (18th), or Sat/Sun (19th/20th) any time in the afternoon. Similarly, at Kowloon Tong's Pacific Coffee - OR in Elements mall above Kowloon Station MTR - wherever's most convenient for others, fine with me.

So you girls are from Singapore? My HK-Chinese hubby lived and studied many years there, thus picking up fluent Mandarin, BUT sadly, I don't speak Mandarin, just a fair amount of Cantonese to get by OK in HK as I've been here years.

anbrasia - I can imagine how stressful moving to another place/city can be - with everything NEW to deal with in unfamiliar settings PLUS another exciting addition to your family! Yeah, it'll take a bit of time to settle in, but not to worry... you will :welcome:

Looking forward to meeting new friends, parents, parents-to-be, in or around Kowloon. And please excuse my ill-chosen message "title", didn't actually mean for it just to be aimed at Chinese/Asians.

Hm, baby in me belly's kicking more and more each day... Lively little fella.
