hello mummies
aargh...i'm so tired...even more so looking at the piles of dirty laundry and all the new clothes waiting to be washed :|
yolk, claire...we went to tokyo first then osaka...on june 2, there was typhoon level 5 warning in tokyo. on our second day in osaka it was super hot...28 degrees...so i think it may be better idea to check out the latest at weather.com or my fave japan resource
www.-japan-guide.com
claire...we didn't do much shopping in tokyo cos we din wanna lug everything to osaka...imho osaka is more enjoyable than tokyo including shopping. abt aprica prams, we went to akachan honpo in osaka (din go to tokyo one cos a bit out of the way i think or at least there wasn't anything interesting to do in the vicinity but i did try to find the one at venus family but there wasn't any....argh!) there were lots of drool worthy prams! think most were 30k+ yen and up. very wide range. but dun think there were many lightweight ones if that's what you're looking for (my idea of light is <4kg). i didn't go agnes b or burb blue label cos i'm on a self-imposed bag ban
uniqlo at osaka had lots of cheap clothes on offer...not sure abt the ones in tokyo...perhaps different campaigns- different stuff had different prices tho. what else...think most of the drugstores offer similar prices for their stuff...really can go broke buying the skincare and cosmetics there
still trying to recall what else is good to get there...hmmm...let you know when i can remember k?
btw matt is looking so good! so fair and those pink lips...so cute!
yolk...according to japan-guide.com, it's like hot and humid in july with first half having a bit of the rainy season. towards end of july it's summer break...and i reckon it's quite madness- we went to the aquarium at osaka and they were expecting like 3000 students that day
crowdedness aside, the kids were rowdy and it's honestly v annoying.
let me pm you both my recommendations k? oh if you have any other questions, pm me so that i can reply you directly (i tend to miss out stuff here) now i've gotta do the dishes...yes at 2+am and then shower then bed...
catch up with all later...
oh cheok...hang in there babe...i had the same problem before the trip. then veve's appetite seemed to have grown during the trip...she finished as much porridge in a day in japan as she would have had a few days in sg! today for lunch she had like 9 tablespoon full of porridge (one combi bowl full) and one cube of pear and snacked on teddy puffs immediately after...amazing! hmmmm...perhaps a trip to japan or anywhere is in order for stressed up mummy
aargh...i need to go but i can't help posting...haha missed this so much
jewel...veve's thereabouts ashley's size. actly when we brought veve to the allergy pd, she weighed 7.9kg. 10 days later we brought her to pd for her runny nose and the same weighing machine registered 7.4kg! shockers! 500g to as adults doesn't even register much but for my lil ger, that's like almost 10% weight loss
the pd suggested i add butter to her porridge to up her calorie intake. i spoke to her allergy pd immediately after who preferred another healthier approach...about the multi-vit the other pd prescribed to up the appetite, she was like if it worked really well it would have been a bestseller :| she suggested giving veve more meals a day...and she believes that a more active child would have greater appetite than a less active child. anyway, i've not started her on the multi-vit cos we're afraid she'll become a starving babe in japan
i'm gonna start her on 3 solid meals from now- have not been giving her solid breakfast cos she's too sleepy in the mornings. and veve's now really into teddy puffs so hope the snacking can up her appetite.
