Kym Ng: No Baby? No Hurry.

SINGAPORE: There are going to be a lot of celebrity ‘Dragon Babies” this year, in the Chinese Year of the Dragon.

Hong Kong singer-actor Andy Lau is going to have a ‘Little Dragon Girl’, and so is Taiwan talk show host Dee Hsu, while Hong Kong singer Miriam Yeung prepares for a baby boy this year.

But Singapore actress Kym Ng, is in no hurry to follow suit, despite spending months shooting with an adorable baby boy, Nigel Yeo, for the Lunar New Year comedy “Dance Dance Dragon”, a film about how a mysterious baby brings both joy and chaos to a Chinese household.

Ng, who got hitched to her boyfriend of 15 years in October 2009, repeatedly gushed about how cute Yeo was during a recent interview with channelnewsasia.com, and admitted that she really likes children.

“I love children!

“If I do have kids, I’ll have many, many kids, because I have a lot of siblings in my family and we are very close.”

“It’ll be very fun. Then we can take care of each other and love each other,” said Ng.

However, the bubbly actress she wasn’t quite sure she is ready for the responsibility that came with parenthood yet.

“I think about it a lot and I consider it is a huge responsibility, it is a choice you have to live with for a lifetime. It’s too exhausting.

“I may have children one day, but I’ll let nature take its course,” said Ng.

In the meantime, Ng is happy just playing with other peoples’ children.

“I’m the sort of person who would play with other people’s children during Chinese New Year, but return them to their parents when they start crying.”

“When I get tired of playing with them, I’d go ‘Hey, I’ll let your mum carry you now!’”
