wootaitai, i hv similar situation and same feelings with you. My boy is now 2.5 yrs. When my boy turned 2, he was only interested when people talked in English. He willl ignore people when we talked to him in Cantonese, or sometimes reply in English only. From that time onwards, I changed our home language to cantonese, even the maid need to speak in cantonese (she has been in HK for 2 yrs, she can master simple cantonese conversation. Of course, she still can talk in English if needed). After 1/2 yrs, now my boy can talk 2-phrase word in cantonese. And show a lot of interest to cantonese conversation.
Becuase of the importance of cantonese in HK society, my strategy is to build up his cantonese understanding and conversation ability first, with ratio around 2:8 in Eng:Ctn. I will eninforce his english ability again next year.
Regarding PTH, might wait until he turns 4-5.
