Giggler,
So sorry, I was sooo...busy before the meetings, so din inform you about my trip in US. I bought a leadpad for Alicia, and lulu the alphabet spider for Adrian. I will let you know when my next trip comes around, or when my colleague comes to Singapore. Which products are you looking at? Well, my colleague in Penang had a brain tumor, but she lost the battle after fighting it couragoeusly for a couple of months. Life is so...unpredictable.
Koala,
Congrats to your new born

Giggler,
I found that Alicia likes PC educational software more than the leappad. She only plays the leappad when she feels like it. As for stories, she prefers to have me read the story book to her than to listen to the sound from the leappad. I think the fridge magnet type is good. I bought it for Alicia when she was younger, but some China-made imitation. Sounds okie though
If you want trial, I can pass it to you and see if Vane is interested
Just SMS me.
Sanrio,
Yeah, yeah, the same one. It's read and write version. No plan for my next trip to US yet, but if there is any opportunity, I will send a note to you.
Brenda,
I can come by to la-kopi with you and Giggler
What time? You still have Muar kopi? Just kidding, I have stopped coffee for >1month due to some problem with my tummy (doc's advice), but can la but wife drinks..hahahaha..
Yuru,
it's not waiting list. It's mailing list
I think when the class is ready to start, they will send mailers to the mailing list. It will be first come first serve basis, I think.

Hi all,
yes.. it is true.. if staying at disney hotel, for the entrance into disney, u pay one day get 2 days. I stayed at Disney Hollywood hotel (above discount also applies)... it's cheaper and more kids friendly then the other one. For breakfast though, I would suggest that you book the other hotel for their buffet breakfast or dinner instead of at Hollywood.. coz you get the characters walking around interacting with you as you have your meal. So, it's more fun, exciting & entertaining for the kids.
We stayed in Disney on Thur, Fri & checkout Sat. On Thur, disneyland was not so crowded. Friday was much more crowded, but still manageable. So if you are planning a trip there, try to stay on weekdays like mon-thurs.
It was fun for the adults too. However, the rides at disney were catered for toddler age. So not so scary & our coming 4 year olds should definitely clear almost all the rides (maybe with teh exception of a couple of them). Adults can ride with the kids on all rides, so it's VERY VERY SAFE!!
Oh course, at disney, things are expensive. So, for the adults, we had fun shopping at the night festival markets - like pasamalam - where we have to bargain for stuff, stanley markets - where we can get cheap branded clothes for the children, eating desserts, drink HK milk tea, eat dim sum, walking around the victoria peak (yes.. we covered the full top of the peak - nice stroll & fresh air!!). All in all, it was enjoyable! Seriously, did not do much shopping if any at all... so 6 days, 5 nights was not really enough for us. Coz with kids, you move that much slower. ahahaa...
Oh, we celebrated my sister's birthday at disney. If you intend to do so, you MUST inform the hotel 24hrs in advance. Apparently if you order only 24 hours in advance, you get only a small cake. You can also order to celebrate at the resturant in the hotel... & get mickey to deliver it to your table. ahahaa... I paid about S$32 for a mango moouse mickey shaped cake (see pic)... they also gave a balloon, plates, forks etc in disney characters, a card from mickey, & the most valuable is a 8R picture of all the disney characters together! So, all in all, the S$32 spent was worth it. The cake was delicious!

YuRu, I stayed in Disney hollywood hotel.
Giggler, funny but the flu thingy didn't seem like such a big thing when we were in HK. Anyway, we will observe the kids & ourselves to see if any flu-like symptoms this week till Tuesday. Incubation period is a week, so, if by Tuesday nothing, then we should be fine.
Sanrio, how come cannot see the pics? You try again loh... The season for late May to mid Sept is Summer. So, temp will range between 26 & 33 - like Singapore will be humid. So think in a way, u won't need to bring sweaters etc. Don't have to bring strollers. Can rent in disneyland - rental costs HKD50 for 1 stroller a day - converted to be abt SGD9 only. Other parts of HK not very stroller friendly, so better to just put Ash on your hb's shoulders, Cher u sling, & then walk.
Think maybe shd bring umbrella for disney.. coz lots of walking in the sun for you then at that time. Bet Ash would love his b/day celebration in HK. How old will Cher be then? Coz I realised that if the kid is too young, they tend to be afraid of the disney characters coz they are lifesized. Ethan & Elijah enjoyed themsleves. Elijah is still asking for Goofy even though he was afraid of the characters in the begining. ahahaa... One other thing is HK is very big... so you really need to make sure u know your way around if you are going free and easy. Try staying near night markets & in the city etc where you don't have to travel much. I stayed at Nathan Road in Kowloon and disney hotel.

Brenda,
I prefer 2-5pm to la kopi.
Emily,
Haven't got a chance to look at your pics, but from the way you describe it, it sounds a lot of fun.
Ruffy,
I checked out cristofori, and was told that parent involvement is needed too.
Giggler,
Cristofori has a branch in JW St 91 (above Prime Mart). My cousin is teaching part-time there (weekend), but I still prefer Yamaha
Mom2nat,
How is little Elliot?

A's dad, that Cristofori at St91 provides the Little Mozart class? I didn’t know that there's so many cristofori ard our area. I think I still stick to Yamaha cos it's nearer to me, I just need to cross the road. Hehehe... Cristofori doesn’t need you to be in the class but they'll have a briefing with parents after class ended.
Emily, saw the news yday and someone from HK said that it's nothing big news in HK. But my col told us that lots of pple sick in the ofc when she was there last week.
Brenda, not bad hor? We have more kakis to la kopi on 22 Mar liao. So we'll have it from 2-5pm.
Gacc, I want to see your Cher!!! Is she still chubby now?
Mom2Nat, how are you??? Can come all the way to the west for the gathering on 22 Mar?

Giggler,
Yes, they do have little Mozart class. I guess you are right about the parents involvement
.
Ruffy,
Giggler clarifies about the parents involvement. It's a briefing at the end of the class, instead of participating in the class.
Sanrio,
Cher is soo......cute

Mom2Nat,who gave you the mis-concept that #1 will be better after you have #2??? For my case, Vane's behaviour from bad to worse after I have Sherwin leh.
((( She just bit Sherwin's hand yday cos didi disturbed her while she playing with her keyboard. Sigh... Nat still adjusting with another member in the family lah. Vane is also like that, keep whining and behave like bb.
