HONG KONG: Actress Priscilla Wong is in Malaysia to film The Exiled 2, and she has brought along her young son, affectionately nicknamed Siu Haha.
But her husband, actor Edwin Siu, has remained in Hong Kong.
Back in September, the couple brought their 18-month-old son to Malaysia for his first overseas family trip.
Siu could not join them this time because of his packed schedule.
He is currently preparing for the Kenneth Ma, Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho: Three Men And A Show concert in Guangzhou on Nov 14.
According to China Press, Siu has also recently started filming a new TVB drama, with a demanding schedule that frequently requires the cast and crew to work overnight.
Siu said: “Looking at the filming schedule, I knew I would be very busy during this period. If they stayed in Hong Kong, by the time I got home, my son would already be asleep. Otherwise, I would have to rush through the script before heading out again.
“So I thought it would be better for them to go to Malaysia, where they have godparents, god-siblings and a group of people to look after them. They can also enjoy a nice atmosphere there.”
Their son’s godmother is Malaysian actress Debbie Goh.
Even though he knows his wife and son are in good hands, Siu admitted that being apart from his young child for so long has been tough.
Joking about their time apart, the new father said: “They’ve been away for so long that my son has probably almost forgotten he has a father!”
Siu added that Wong’s filming in Malaysia is wrapping up soon, and he expects his family to return to Hong Kong in about a week.
