(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

oh ya, anyone went to see the fireworks yest?? after seeing the beijing olympics opening, s'pore one like machiam only, quite disappointing...

PM, how's your ritz stay, enjoy the fireworks scenery up high??
 


eeyore,
Hmm..heard so many rave comments abt the olympics opening..too bad I missed it. Got replay or not huh?

Haha..managed to catch fireworks from my kitchen win. Kay kept asking for more when the fireworks ended.

Most prob going end of Aug before hb starts his new job in Sept. But sunway lagoon suitable or not arh? Their rides dangerous or not?

Otherwise we can go bintan/batam together also not bad hor..sand & sea..relax...OC u wanna join?

PM,
Wah! U book ritz carlton arh? Not cheap leh..think abt $570/night for cheapest room. More ex for national day.

Genting- i went there 4 times alrdy.. every yr will bring the boys there to play in the theme park.
u can get the all park pass n go play indoor n outdoor. the indoor theme park & casino is jus located below the first world hotel.
i brought them to the snow world too.. jus to experience the cold. below 3 not allowed. but i told them jedd is just small .. so just pay for a ticket n go in. they hv a mini slide. winter jacket/gloves n boots provide. (may be a bit big for gillian. i hv my own winter wear for my boys)
i personally prefer first world hotel cos when kids are tired, jus go up to the room. if other hotels like genting or resort hotel, must walk quite far.. escalators to escalators.. if forget to bring anything, long walk back. choose a better room for first world.. i took the SUPERIOR DELUX ROOM..(2 nites for S$170 fri and sat) has full facilities (bath tub/kettle/sofa/toiletries).. enuff space for both my boys to run ard. the standard rooms are too basic for our kids..

Sunway lagoon
u can bring them to the water theme park.. our kids most of the slides not suitable for our kids.. u can rent a huge rubber tube n float in it the whole day. dont go during the holidays.. very crowded n dirty.. josh had diarrohea for a month after the swim.. i neva went back there again. u can stay at sunway resort hotel. the studio apt not bad.. hv kitchenette. the price diff from normal room n studio very little so we took the studio. big n spacious n modern. a huge mall is attached to the resort hotel.. so u can shop.. food/clothes/etc

u can also consider staying at Times square.. large indoor theme park with imax theatre.. hotel n huge mall attached.. lot to shop esp with the malaysia sale going on now.

A must to go for us... CHINATOWN pertaling street!!! lanes of tiffany/branded bags/shoes etc.. hb must entertain kids.. while mummies go shopping.. i bought a pair of adidas shoes for josh.. RM$30.. lots of tiffany jewellery, coach key rings... polo ralph tee ... i hv no time to walk.. but do beware of pickpockets. the MRT there are very easy to use.. but not stroller friendly.. alot of steps.

i am planning a port dickson trip in sept.. will update u on living conditions..
 
Wow.. Yb and Ep seems to be travel guru lioa...our travelling icon of this forum

Trips - Also planning to bring Emerson to somewhere... But timing doesnt seems to fit now, I cant take leave during the last quarter of the year. Earliest only beginning of next year.

Talking abt these, sometimes I dont wish to go lei, coz very tiring to lug a kid along uless it's really those kind of free n easy and minimal shopping.

Eeyore - The ritz stay was good. We viewed the fireworks/ fighter planes at eye level, but then we didnt hear the sound impact.. so not so spectacular. Shld have gone down to the ground floor. Very spacious room. Too bad our room was facing the other direction, so we cant view the NDP from our room, instead have to go to the lobby. We ere quite lukcy too, coz half of the floor were occupied by the police on duty, so not much ppl crowding at the lobby. zav and E still can play dog chase at the lobby. Hahahaha.

YB - It's complimentary...

PM,
oh MT went to look for u huh... she must be thinking of viewing NDP at eye level...

EP,
really envy u, can plan so many trips for your kids... so sunway lagoon not suitable huh and josh sounds so bad, diarrohea for a month... when was that?? the Times square indoor theme park suitable for our kids??
 
Ep,YB,
Thanks for all d tips!

eeyore,YB,
Resson why thot of bringing Gil somewhere is bcos now office quite 'eng',me n hubby can take leave, plus wan to go b4 hubby leaves in early nov. In fact, initially thot of going bintan. First trip dun wan to be too adventurous so jus a short weekend getaway.

PM,
Ya agree! Im also looking for free n easy n no shopping.
 
morning all...

wow... all planning for trips.
happy.gif

actually with kids and only 2adults - really F&E and no shopping best.
 
EP,
The room rates u got at First World for a superior deluxe room is cheap! $170 for 2 nites fri n sat?! Can sms me d contact of d agent u book from?
 
oc
the rate i got was $172
happy.gif
i called directly no agent.

eeyore
times sq hv those kiddy land so we can go on kiddy rides with our kids.. sunway lagoon is very spacious.. mall is great.. but hard to shop with kid unless hb look after. josh had diarrohea from dec to jan.. when he was abt 2yrs old. before jedd was on this planet. i also stayed at palace of the golden horses too.. very remote.. u hv to take a boat to the shopping mall.. the boat ride was interesting.. the boat man let josh steer the boat haha..

i must ask mtdt for advise for her phuket trip.. havent been there with kids yet.

Sunway Lagoon,
I've been there before, really not suitable for our kids, cos the rides are all adventurous rides. Even for Genting outdoor theme park, I also dun dare to let Kay go in. We only went to indoor theme park.

Port Dickson,
I've been there b4 too...stayed in kelong resort. Very nice...the rooms are sitting on top of sea water, if wanna swim, just swim out the win. There's also a mini pet farm & swimming pool. Very relaxing.

Cruise,
I think cruise trip is the most hassle-free & convenient. Cos everything is within reach + no need travel time.
 
i never go to port dickson before leh. ;p

pic looks good nia. hahahha

phuket = not much shopping lah. but massage time hv to take turn go at nite loh. :p
 
Hi mummies,

eeyore,
shld be my hubby cos he will go over there for lunch.

ep,
I dun use cane, not that I dun agree with cane but the kids will scare once I "roared". I just "roared" at Janelle for throw silence tantrum and cried for small matter. I asked her wat was the use of her mouth - to eat and talk. The use of the eyes is to see things and not to cry all the time.
 
Hong, yr roaring power so strong ah :p
I roared & roared also like that leh..they will scare a bit then back to nautic shelf within 1/2 hr..ha..
btw, u was asking me abt cel kindy review rite? I think they are quite good..i was quite impressed by Cel last fri..she keep telling us that it was olympic game opeing at beijing, china..and there are many excellent ppl taking part in the sport at the "bird nest"..i asked her how did she koe..she said her teacher told them with newspaper cutting..I think the teachers are good to relate happening with current news..Cel also told us on sat that LSL is impt ppl to our country and his dad is even more impt, and all these were told by her teachers also..ha..i dun think i koe that when i was 5 year olds :p
 
Wah...maybe will plan for port dickson next trip
happy.gif


I think phuket like not so many activities for kids, only beaches. Last yr i went me n hubby enjoyed the massage, food n shopping at d pasar malams. We rented a bike n explored around so it was quite an experience.
 
yb
hey, tats the place i m looking at for port dickson... how was it? which accomodation u took? what was yr rate? what did u do there?
 
hi eeyore

cos been to many childcare to look see look see...

so far, m quite impressed by the pricipal and teachers.And their place is ery big. Abit far, but got schoolbus to ferry him back.

hopefully, this choice is a good choice
 
Amanda,
that is ard my area leh. From pasir ris to central. Why not NAFA since u have gone this far.

KLCC,
I am a tigress at home mah.
 
Amanda,
are u sending Gerrad to school in the morning or he will travel to and fro by school bus?

You may want to consider the travel time cos it can be very tiring for the little tod.

I live very near to my daughter kindy but she will be going back to my MIL place which is only 15 min driving timing becos she is taking school bus she end up to be the last to alight and she reached one 1hr later. She was very tired and hungry by then.
 
PM,
Haha..I've nvr been to Phuket so cannot comment. But the resort @ Port Dickson is really gd lor..nice rooms facing the sea. Last time we drove in from sg. So during meal time, we drove out to eat (which is much cheaper as compared to the resort).

OC,
Hey, u wanna go to Genting last wk of tis mth instead? HB is keen to go again. Mayb we can go together?
happy.gif


Ep,
I stayed in the water chalet last time. Very nice & relaxing. I went there years ago when I wasn't married yet. Haha, so I can't remembered how much I paid. Basically we were there to attend a friend's wedding. U can do spa, swim at the swimming pool, stroll along the beach or feed the pets @ the mini pet farm.
 
hong
no matter how i roar, my boys not scared! sigh! i told josh i m gonna send him to childcare.. so his behaviour is not my problem..

yb
the prices there abt RM$720++ for water chalet!!
 
ep,
If I dun remember wrongly, think I paid about $600+ for the water chalet last time..but it was years ago...so mayb they've increased the rates.

U only threaten Josh to send him to cc hor? Not really sending him, right? Wat's josh's response?
 
yb
he say dun want to go.. on the verge of crying.. he will only be gd for a while then forget abt my threat alrdy.. so this method dun work.. now he is smashing everything in my hse.. cane him alrdy
later wan to sushi?? :p
 
Hong

i am driving him to sch in the morning. then he be taking sch bus back home.

guess u r rt, he be very tired by then, so m putting him up for trial for 1 mth to see if he can take it then will decide the next step
 
port dickson with the room tat YB recommends would be more ex i think hahaha :p

airticket-$300 per pax (kids rate abt there too)
Hotel - mine is consider the cheapest, ard $150 per nite.

-per meal ard $40 (not cheap hor)
-shopping (but i bought my 2yrs supply of bras lah! haha) tailor there is cheap... DT made suit,pants,shirt.
-phiphi lsland trip 3000baht for 2adults+kid. (optional)
-rental of cab whole day 500baht (can go anywhere tat u wan)
 
WAH holiday!

YB,
we actually planning to drive up to Genting on 22 Aug but shelf the plan cos we are going HK in early Sept.

I rbr my collick went Port Dickson and the hotel rate is not that high. May be his is not the one that YB staying. I go and ask him again.

PM,
If u want Emerson to play with sand. I think Desaru is better.

Amanada,
the school allow trial?
 
ep,
Haha...sorry. Only saw ur 'sushi' post just now...Hey, free later? Can go ur hse for swimming? But tis morn's weather abit gloomy hor.

Port Dickson,
Hb told me last time he paid RM600 for 2nites stay @ Avilion leh..dunno y this time so ex. Anyway, they have garden chalet too...not so lux as the water chalet, cos facing inland.

Hong,
Wat's in desaru?

OC,
Heehee..cos we have complimenatary stay in Genting when I upgraded my world card during the last trip. So might as well make use of opportunity.
 
hong
its the one in the middle.. it says animal crackers.. cinnamon graham.. should taste like digestive biscuits.

DESARU
2 hrs drive. u should stay at the pulai resort.. pulai resort was full cos its new.. So i stayed at golden sands.. for NTUC only $82 per nite. very near sea. room is ok.. like chalet standard. not very clean but if only 1 nite then its ok. spacious ground so gd for kids to run..
CROCODILE FARM, RM$8 adult
OSTRICH FARM,RM$10 adult
FIREFLY TOUR,RM$35 adult thru hotel
FRUIT MARKET - neva go in
1 went there 2 days 1 nite.. my kids enjoyed.. if u drive there, then u can go around on yr own, if not must book tours thru hotel n its quite expensive.
u can also take a ferry to desaru.. n stay at sabana cove.. but NOTHING to do there.. more freedom is to drive there.
Day1 - Lunch at desaru, go croc farm, evening fireflytour sleep
Day2 - BF at hotel, play and swim on beach, chk out, go lunch, ostrich farm, stop by fruit market, kids sleep on the way home
 
Hi Mummies, Gill having 38 degree fever...sianz
Lucky haven book d genting trip yet.

PM,
Ya phuket more ex, a 3D2N can easily come up to 1k. Desaru seems like more kids' activities compared to port dickson, plus nearer to drive in.
 
OC,
oh what happen to Gill?? u haven't book for genting trip then definitely got space?? it's been more than 10 year i never go there...
 
OC,
Oh dear..how come suddenly got fever? Then u took leave to take care of her? Hmm..then gotta postpone your trip lor.

Hong,
How much u paid for ur HK trip arh? Wat does it incl in the package? Got incl disneyland or not? Now still consider summer in HK hor?
 
YB,eeyore,
Ya on urgent leave today. Dunno leh, i already abstain her from playground n swimming..haiz...hope it will jus subside n go away. Hb said this morning when he sent gil to CC, a boy actually puke all over d front gate so everybody had to wait for d teacher to clean up then can go in.
 
Hmm...hope it's not viral fever. Last time Kay kena from her cousins & her fever lasted for 1wk!

Btw, did u give Gil any supplements since she's on full day cc?
 


eeyore,
Actually Gil's CC had 3 cases of HFMD, dats why i've been very careful but still....

YB,
Ya gave her multi-vit, d enervon brand. D thing is Gil started to reject fruits n veg ever since she started CC which doesnt help in her immunity level as well.
