Talking abt all your travels and all makes me really miss NZ. I havent been back there since i graduated
I miss the Disneyland at Anaheim and Italy too! Italy is so romantic! Too bad i din go for the Gondola rides as it was the rainy season and that day i visited Venice, it was flooded! Hai wondering when can i start to travel again. I went to Korea during the beginning of winter in Dec last year. Was 5 mths preggy then. Almost died when the cold winds blew!! Can still shiver at the thought of it. I thought since i survived winter in NZ, Korea shouldnt be much of a prob but, i was very wrong!
KK, touring South Island is worth it. North Island is more city-life like. South Island is v scenic! So u will be going for the Milford Sound cruise? Which parts of South will u be touring? I guess Christchurch and Queenstown? Queenstown is such a romantic place!
Yeah u should go for the Mt Cook Heli ride and the Jetboats. If u are adventurous type u shd go for the wide-water rafting, bungee, tandem gliding etc etc...
Annie, I guess when u say NZ is dangerous, u shdbe referring to the North Island. South Island is super safe! Many a times we even forgot to lock our flat's front and back door the entire night keke... Its generally peaceful and quiet save for some drunk students who'll throw empty beer bottles in their stupor.
Ino, your princess not the slimmest lah. My boi...hai is the slimmest. His weight is barely 6kg at 5.5months and his height is 66cm. The thing is now, he refuses to drink milk from bottle! Only wants me to latch him on n my supply is dropping!!! So now me intro more solids hoping to boost his weight.
If he drinks milk from bottle at least i can give some formula to boost his weight.

Hi KK,
Oh Dunedin is the place where i studied and lived! V few tours cover Dunedin as its a small town only. If got chance u must go Portebello and buy Happy Hens! That's considered one of the 'TU CHAN' of NZ and its only found in Dunedin. If your tour doesnt cover Portebello, then u can buy it at a shop up the Octagon. Yr tour guide should know where. But Portebello route is v scenic and the Happy Hens factory is an interesting place to visit.
Oh up Otago Penisula also got the blue-eyed or yellow-eyed penguins. Is this part of your itineary?

Hi fates/milo/lh_jyc/annie
Thanks for all your concern ...
Darius is re-admitted to Mount Alvernia Hospital yestersday and seems like the docs in KKH have made a wrong dignosis... he is actually having bacteria infection instead of virual infection ... he was immediately warded to Mount alvernia after we brought him to his PD for a second opinion ...
I really cry buckets in the hospital .... the doc had a hard time finding his vein to administer the antibiotic and glucose drips ... can see all the needle holes on his little hands and feet .... they finally manged to locate a vein but his little leg swell up so badly due to liquid leakage and they have to stop the drip immediately ... they managed to find another vein on the other feet this morning and he is back on drip again ... they are currently running all the test on him ... but results will only be out in the few days time.... now we can only wait n pray n trying our best to ease his pain n discomfort ...

Hi Annie,
Thye have diagnosed that he had bacteria infection but they have yet to identify wat bacteria ... the results will only be out in a few days time ... they are giving him a general antibiotic now to cover him and also put him on drip as he is dehydrated .... really hope that his fever will subside soon and he can be discharged from hospital soon ... me n hubby is currently staying in the hospital with him ....
I have just bgt the pigeon diapers... I must say that the quality is comparable to Pampers premium .... but seems tt pigeon is slightly more ex than pampers ... I paid S$26.90 for 68 pcs of pampers and S$22.90 for 48 pcs of pigeon diapers ... wat i like abt pigeon is they have the urine indicator ..pamper premium only have urine indicator for the newborn

Annie,
I used to be addicted to chocolates during pregnancy. MUST stock up on chocolates then. And it was also christmas season, so much choices in the supermarket haha... cannot resist.
But after delivery, ok leh, not much temptation, but then will still buy some put in the fridge, ready to take anytime
So we can try pigeon diaper then? But if like taurus say, more expensive, then maybe won't try afterall.

fairysnowberry,
I also studied in Dunedin leh. Lots of fond memories in NZ indeed. Such a heaven on earth place lor. Really sad when it was time to leave.
kk,
Dunedin is much influenced by Scottish heritage. Some says you can see a glimpse of Scotland there. There are also places to see royal albatross, fur seals, penguins etc. But the weather there is pretty cold. I went to the Cadburry factory too... got to eat as much chocolate as possible on the spot...he he. me a chocolate maniac. Not only craving for it during pregnancy but now still eating almost everyday. It shows in my weight. Sigh..

Milo,
Which part of US you going to? Hmmm...after CNY still considered winter, West Coast and Florida might be warmer, but freezing cold here at the Northeast.
Wen and Fairysnowberry,
Dunedin was one of my favorite cities, though I only stayed about 2 days there during my trip. I remembered that all the hotels in Dunedin was full that time due to convocation, so we had to book a place in Octago Peninsula. We spent the night in a converted schoolbus overlooking the Peninsula. Woke up in the morning and saw seagulls in the water. Very quaint experience.
KK,
Forgot to tell u that though it is summer in NZ, it might still be cold and windy, especially when you go very south to Dunedin. I went in early Dec and my friends brought only sleeveless and shorts. In the end, my friend had to buy a jacket in Queenstown. So pack a jacket, and long sleeves.

Dunedin can still be quite cold still in summer. Always go out with a windbreaker/jacket even when it is sunny. The weather can change in the matter of minutes plus like CP said, can be windy lor. Think generally, if you are going south, spag strap is out lor. Maybe good to pack something warmer too if you are going out at night. I think the day-time temperature when I was there barely pass 20 degrees.. Normally still around 16-18 degrees on a summer day. So expect it to be colder at night.

kk,
can give pigeon diapers a try.Like Taurus i like the urine indicator.I think pigeon can hold more urine then pampers premuim.Normally my ger use 4-5 pcs/day for pigeon n pampers 5-6 pcs. So if 1 pc less its bout 30cents cheaper.
milo,
If u have time in Vegas, do catch the show "O" by Cirque Du Soleil at Bellagio. It is one of the best selling shows there. N factory outlet there as well

Milo,
Those are really fun places. We didn't gamble at the casinos in Vegas, but there was so much to do and see. SF is nice too. Be sure to catch a bowl of clam chowder at Fisherman's Wharf. I'm still thinking about it even today, yummy! I suppose your tour covers factory outlet too? Sure shop till siao!

Hello to all mummies!
Recently, when we touch our baby, he felt feverish in the mornings and at night when he's sleeping. It seems alright in the day. He also coughs and sneezes sometimes. Is it a symptom of flu as he still seems active as before?
He also fusses and cries a lot these days, always wanting attention. It might be due to teething though.

Hi mummies,

Hi mummies,
Forget to add on, i complaint to my colleagues about keane's behaviour. They stated NORMALLY N SMALL MATTER. One of my colleague stated that his own son @ 2.5yrs old torn his sofa (those rubber type) apart.. Hence, until today, he still doesnt dare to change a new one.. according to him, his son already destroyed his 3 handphones so far.. faint!

POOH,
Shd be using scissor or sharp object lar.. else how to tear.. hee.. gd question.. wait i ask my colleage..
Wait.. possible, if my colleague brought those cheap cheap type of man made rubber sofa.. cos my parent had one b4.. "sit only few months" the joint parts all torn by itself.. already switch to wooden type..
I guess i have to be careful my own sofa, cloth type.. anyway, i already instructed my ma to punish keane if he still throw his toys and tear them apart.. sometime, very hard to get parents to listen to us as they tend to spoil and protective to their grandkids..

Hihi KK,
Happy Hens are clay hens figurines. They are v nice. U can buy the whole family and it comes w a nice hen coop too :=)
The hens sold in Octagon are slightly more ex than those sold at the Happy Hens factory at Portebello.
Yeah windbreakers and thick sweaters should do. I love the cool weather in Dunedin :=)
Hihi CP, yeah Dunedin is such a beautiful place right? Cant wait to go back there. Feel like bringing my son there next Summer.
