bedebe, oh so you're tagging along with veve on your hb's biz trip to London tis time round? Aiyah, if biz trip there are LOADS of other hotel choices! I recommend http://www.mandeville.co.uk/
Very nice boutique hotel just behind Oxford Street.
Oh ya, forgot to recommend to ya our all time favourite Jap sushi place..Its called Atari-ya. If you crave sushi, this IS the place to go. Mostly a take-away joint for lunch crowd, but if you go off peak, they have 2 tables for sit-in. This will be the cheapest place and of cos the BEST sushi you can find in London. (they are the suppliers of fresh fish to the likes of Nobu!) Else just tapow and have it in your hotel! So near!
I used to bring Ashley there in her pram for lunch all the time!!
Location: Along Oxford Street, just after the standalone GAP store , pass it and turn left into the little lane that's lined with restaurants and little shops. Its after Starbucks I think!!

Paddington? Not really.. Just down the road from Edgware Road.. If Are you taking a train from the airport to the hotel? If you need a car pick up I can recommend a minicab guy to you. He's a HK'ie and he served us very well for the last 4.5yrs that we were there!

Hello hello!
I kena summoned by Nor so I thought I'd better pop in and say hello! HELLO EVERYONE!
Sorry I've been MIA. Really busy with work and spending time with Ems. Really having so much fun with her at this age!
I also lost 8kg so I'm very pleased. Feeling a lot healthier (and slimmer - haha!).
Hope you've all been well.

Hi hi!
My turn to say hi after Ms NOR has paged for everyone
Been busy with work as well, and have not been able to catch up with the posts... and unfortunately, I seem to be putting on wt instead!! argh!!
Well done Yolksac!! 8kg in a few mths is amazing!!! the bbs are really fun at this age huh? more like little kids than babies!
btw, am really fretting about my upcoming trip wrt the flight, and sleeping arrangements. As we are following a tour group, I have requested for a baby cot for all the hotels we are staying in, but as usual, was told no promises. I guess we can all bunk into a double bed, but that means i wont be able to sleep well as xy is a very very messy sleeper and goes all over the place in her sleep.
Considering bringing along a travel cot, eg pack and play. anyone knows if the side of the pack and play can be lowered so that i can join it to the double bed like a co-sleeper? Or does anybody have any other recommendations on this?
Thanks!!

so you’re one of those who queue at the AIA bldg huh? I heard on the radio that those who cash out can re-instate their policies within 14 days if they have change of mind.
Well, after braving the mad queue, I reckon you wouldn’t lah!
Eh post pics of your yearbookyourself lah.. I’d probably post in FB.. heheh!

woohoo! 8kg down ah!! What slimming method did you take up? Can’t be the one I shared with you and Jillian when we were at Fidgets?? Hahahahah!

nor...well said! where's everyone? oh hi yolk and jules
banquez suez...thanks! i'm just thinking about how veve will want to explore every nook and cranny of the hotel rooms and i feel faint already enjoy your trip too!
jules...when're you leaving? for our trips, when they place a cot in our rooms, we actly ask them to remove it...1. some are really gritty- you may wanna bring your own cot sheets, 2. room too small. you may wanna try asking your agency if they can put you in a triple room so tt hubs can have his own bed and not sleep on the floor. i've not considered a travel cot cos i think it's really too heavy to lug ard...but shud be ok if you've transport to everywhere.
i'm also worried abt our flight to london. hubs just did the same flight on wednesday and he said it was tough for him :| (and he's used to flying to US le) hmmmm...is there anything the babes can take to sedate them for the flight?
jules...v impt to ask for bassinette row seats even if XY can't fit in...you'll definitely appreciate the extra leg room.
yolk...well done! you've been marathoning?

I was on Air France to Paris and there are quite a number of babies traveling in the economy class.
I was unable to sleep much as the seats are cramp and not comfy.
Surprisingly for much of the journey I did not hear much crying/ whining from the babies and they were about 4-5 seats in front of me. They only started to get a little cranky during the last 2 hours of the flight.
And mind you, we were flying for a good 11 hours already!

nor, ur face very 'big' ma hehehe
must send out such callings more often so the lurkers all feel guilty! oh ya u have a mini co-sleeper right? u mean the bbs can still fit in it now? is it easily portable? so sweet of u to offer!
really tempting!
Bedebe, hello!! tell me abt the fears for the trip.. xy has been digging in all corners and surfaces of the house, and i dont even want to think abt her doin that in a foreign environment. oh so for your past trips, u always just bunk in with veve and hbs? isnt it kinda squeezy even if its a king size bed?
have definitely asked for bassinet row seats already.. just hope they will give it to us and that there arent other babies flying on the same flight. xy is 78cm now, and the stupid bassinet is only 75cm! why cant they make it bigger??
re sedation... hahahah i'm surprised that u wld consider it!! at first, i was super agst the idea. hb was going on at me to just sedate her on the flight cos i was freaking out abt how she wld wail and scream when she realises she cant flip and turn as she likes. just cldnt bring myself to 'drug' my baby!! but after thinking it thru, have decided to just give her a bit of piriton/chloramine to tide her over the plane ride. very very safe, and that way, we can all get some rest and start the trip on a gd note.

nor...11h is good! i think most of them think 11h is the golden no. of hours for baby beauty sleep cos veve also officially wakes up after 11h...hmmm we'll see if she's gonna be good at it
jules...it's my hubs idea the sedation bit...i think it's a guy thing! i'm not so sadistic :| i also can't bring myself to drug veve...already she wails and screams whenever we try to give her good-for-you liquids...even considered giving her turkey which we learnt contains natural sedatives when we tried to sedate our dog to clip his nails (unfortunately turkey din work for him :| and neither did the drug the vet gave)
jewel...thanks thanks! you're my fave gem! kekeke

jules...extend your prayer to not having any other noisy nocturnal kids onboard! last trip there was a toddler in the bassinet across the aisle who refused to sleep and will cry and fuss every half hour. it was a wonder veve actly slept thru most of the flight!
btw do we need a prescription for piriton/chloramine?
btw do we need a prescription for piriton/chloramine?
bedebe, wow veve is a gd girl.. she doesnt toss or turn during that 11 hrs, or wake up for water? xy still does, but i'm not complaining! she also sleeps abt 10+ hrs only.. rarely hits 11 hrs of night sleep.
turkey?? really? wow.. just wondering how sedative it can be since its a natural sedative hehe. But worth a shot!

bedebe, oh ya u are right!! didnt think abt that. oh shucks.. if there's some other crying baby on board, xy will definitely join in the cacophony cos she doesnt sleep well in a noisy environment.
hmm.. i think u need a prescription for that. I actually got it from my PD during the last time she was sick. any other anti-histamines shld work equally well too. but i think chloramine is like the most commonly used, and hence shld be the safest (since it's been 'tested' by so many kiddos already) - my own opinion la. hehe

Hey gals
Thank you for your kind words! Actually it was 8kg in a matter of six weeks. Just by cutting back portion size, eating limited amt of carbs each day etc.
Hoping to lose another 6kg!
Jules: What worked for us on the flight was letting Ems have her favourite DVD on her portable DVD player. She just sat there in her bassinet and watched!
Bedebe is right - best to bring your own cot sheets and if XY has a favourite stuffed animal, pillow, blanket etc, bring that as well. So it's semi-familiar surroundings and encourages sleep. Ems had no probs sleeping in Tokyo cos she was so tired out from all the sightseeing each day.

8kg down in 6 weeks is GREAT! I did not lose much (only 1.5-2kg) despite only having one decent meal a day now that it’s the fasting month.
Thanks to SOMEONE who says she’s craving for ayam percik and also made sago gula melaka and then post in FB!

sorry I missed your Qs. The mini co-sleeper is very compact, easy to carry around and pretty light weight. Downside – you can’t bring it down to any other position except the std bed level. As for the length, it can accommodate up to 86cm.
Do let me know again if you’re interested.

yolksac, wow 8kg in 6 wks is super fast! now u can go shopping for a whole new wardrobe ya? my most drastic wt loss was only 12kg in 1 yr! But that was eons ago la..
at least ems likes to watch her dvds.. xy doesnt like tv at all. She'll watch for the most 1min? whatever dvd/shows are on she doesnt watch any longer than that. I really have a very odd kid. Thot all children like to watch tv!
