Wong wrote in Chinese: 'I always thought I would be the kind of career woman who picked a date for a caesarean section and gave her baby formula milk. 'But as I formed a relationship with my baby during the nine months of pregnancy, she seemed to tell me that I could do it. I did more research and wanted to give her the best within my capabilities.' She thanked her doctor for giving her the confidence to change her choice of delivery method in the last four months of her pregnancy. 'It really worked out in the end as our baby girl was born naturally,' Wong wrote, revealing that her daughter's name is Audrey Chang. 'She is very special as she arrived past 12am, so her birthday is next to her dad's birthday,' she added. 'I wonder if she will be a daddy's girl in the future.' She thanked her husband for accompanying her throughout the journey and for being her biggest cheerleader, adding: 'You're gonna be the best daddy.' She also thanked the medical team at Hong Kong's Union Hospital. 'We felt very loved and supported during our stay,' she wrote in English. 'Thanks for celebrating Danny's birthday and Mother's Day with me as well.' Using hashtags such as #MayBabies, she added: 'Off to a new season with our little one. We love you so much and can't wait to see you grow up.' The first runner-up of the Miss Hong Kong pageant in 2007, Wong is best known for starring in the TVB martial arts drama A Fist Within Four Walls (2016). Her role as Fa Man was named Most Popular Female Character at the TVB Anniversary Awards in 2016. In 2016, she announced her engagement to Chang, whom she had dated for 11 years. In 2017, they held two wedding ceremonies in the United States and Hong Kong. Wong announced in December 2021 that she was leaving TVB after 14 years with the Hong Kong broadcaster.

'Till now, both of us carry books to read when we are waiting for our kids to finish a class or something,' she said when met at the book fair at Island 88 in Tanjong Tokong. Emphasising the importance of physical books rather than using smartphones or tablets, Filmer said she taught her children to enjoy reading too. She said she and her husband did not enjoy 'doomscrolling' – an informal term referring to the act of excessively scrolling through news or social media content.

Since it is now the school holidays, accounts assistant Chan Kok Yen, 46, saw it as a great opportunity to take her twin sons Jasper and Jerome Chan, seven, to Popular Bookfair. 'These days, children are inclined towards surfing the Internet and using electronic gadgets. 'As a parent, I want them to read physical books as I can monitor the content they consume. 'It is better for them to read something rather than watch videos or the television,' she said. Chan said her children loved Chinese comic books and while she was trying to wean them off it, she found that comic books helped with their language comprehension. The book fair features deals and rebates of up to 50% on a myriad of books ranging from bestsellers, fiction, non-fiction, early education, higher education, horror, comics, health and self help books. The large section of Chinese and Bahasa Malaysia books offers options in multiple languages and educational needs.
