Cactus, if ur hubby wants to get the D700 body. I can ask my hubby to buy for him coz he has a special price and it comes up to $3.8K.
Hehe, no lah... He din use my credit card to buy the camera!
Langlao, u can go to their website to check, they have the pricing there. If u go down to the shop, they have more designs and can quote u directly.
So far a 4kg chocolate cake costs ard $150. This is the url for choc-a-bloc but its located at Bedok.

Gemini, quite a lot of shots of Ying Ching... she is very expressive!
S@l, very paiseh... My hubby only managed to capture one shot of Mischa!

langlao, the cake from Patissier is good! But i wasnt thinking of the 3D cakes...more of the yummy ones but the designs are plain but elegant. I was thinking if i should choose the cake for the taste or for look...cos nice 3D cakes are really expensive.
if u are nt tat particular abt taste, then u can try Smiling orchid. i used them for my son's 1st and 3rd bday. their prices are reasonable for 3D cakes, but taste wise, nt fantastic, abit dry to me. reason for using them the 1st time was becos only they can make the cake i designed...and price was ok. the second time i approached them was becos they can do Thomas train cakes in 3D cos most of the bakeries then could only offer 2D thomas cakes.
Gemini, not yet.,.still experimenting. MY theme is Hello Kitty princess...hehehee...lotsa things to buy...but not enough $$$...at first said didnt want to make this party too elaborte...now the more i see the more i buy..hiaz...aft the bday will prob be doing a clearance sale for the party decors *LOL...
oh for the pottty i wont be getting them for the time being cos supplier insist to see my webby first..but till now i hv been sitting on it...not on top my list at the moment...so sorry
Oh the brownies were from u? Tat was good! Thanks!

Gemini,
The brownies were from you!! Where did you buy them, I loved them...was even tempted to 'ta bao'!! hehe
Heres the recipe for the cookies, it is super easy and very tasty.
100g butter
200g of sugar (can reduce if you don't want it to be too sweet)
2 eggs beaten
100g plain flour
1tsp salt
1tsp baking powder
300g porridge oats
200g of raisins, or mix of nuts or choc chips.
1, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
2, Add beaten eggs gradually, beat until well combined.
3, sieve flour, salt and baking powder into creamed mixture.
4, Add oats, raisins and mix well.
5, spoon onto baking sheet, place well apart, flatten slightly with back of spoon.
6, bake in preheated oven at 180degrees/350F/gas mark 4 for 15mins or until golden brown.
Makes up to 20 big cookies or 40 small cookies. Can keep in airtight container and last about a week. Mine don't even reach the container cos my hubby and kids polish it all up within minutes!

Langlao, i had put up some of the pix on my facebook but once the pix (full size) uploaded on Picassa is done. I will send u the link.
Weishy, i din know till i m in this shipping co. That's y imports into Australia/NZ is more expensive than their local produce coz they have to make at least 1 stopover in SG.

The pics really look wonderful, K@ye, yr hubby can be a professional very soon, then we all can go to him for studio photography.
Gemini, the brownies were really good, not too sweet.
The coffee gathering is on a weekday or weekend? Oh yeah, sharron, the coffee was good too.
3D cake - i got one from Bengawan Solo for my gal with blackforest filling, it's a 3D bear sitting on a number 1 shape cake.

luv the photos! very beautifully taken! can zip the photos and send it via yousendit.com. it will send an email to us to download from the website.
Gillian,
if the fever is mild ie <37.5 then it may be teething. but if it's high like 38.0, surely it can't be teething le. that's what my mil said when Eliza got fever...but we brought her to the doc anyway.

Hello mummies,
I am also missing for a long time. Only lately started to come in to search for my son's birthday stuff too
I have ordered all the party stuff but still haven't book venue!!
K@ye, care to share what camera your hubby using? Sounds really good.
By the way like to check with mummies familiar with HK. If I bring baby, what can I do there? I be going on a business trip there. But not too sure what can baby do there other than shopping.

Woah... its cool. We are also thinking to invest on a DSLR leh. Ur hubby using an DSLR previously? I heard DSLR there are newbie and professional types. We are advise to start with the easier to manage type. So chim.. I prefer point and shoot. Cos I dun want to lug a camera around esp when I still need to shop. Heh heh..
Regard HKG:
Was thinking of extending then ask hubby and baby over to spend the weekend there. Ya loh, like nothing for baby to do there. Bring him ocean park also he cannot remember or play anything. Maybe I just go there and fly back.
Was thinking maybe go some beach resort, at least he can sit at the bench to play with sand and I can soak his little feet into waves.. Wanted to go thailand but now its so messy.
Bali is a good choice but then the people at the Kuta beach is very irritating leh. Keep "Massage massage" trying to get business.
