tinkabel: those are such gorgeous photos! How much did the whole package cost? Now I'm thinking of bringing my boy to a shoot! haha.
Ueno: could I also have a trial pass cos I'm planning to go on leave in October and I have been thinking of bringing Ethan to JG for the longest time! =) Do you go to the one at Forum or Evans Rd?
Sowie: Thanks for the recipe! I'm thinking of taking up some baking classes so that I can make some snacks and cakes for Ethan and family. Any classes to recommend?
Gymboree Playgym: Are any mummies here members of Gymboree? I thinking of organizing a playdate at Gymboree so that we can let our babies interact and have fun! I know there is a 12 - 1pm or 12.30 - 1.30pm slot at Tanglin mall. Do let me know who's interested? Members pay $12 per hour.

mambobb, no prob. Just wanted to occupy matt since i got time to spend with him. the gymboree playdate is private for us only? Me with gymboree Shanghai but hor never bring my card back and also dunno whether applicable in Singapore anot.
michviv: I took the promotion package at $120. But had to pay an additional $100 if I want all the photos in the super high resolution. If not, they will also return all in normal resolution. Was telling grace, the photos are so high resol, i had to shrink and shrink before I can upload or email etc. So maybe shd hv saved the $100 and just make do with the lower resolution photos. If norm without promo, then $150.
Rachel C: Matt is 10.5 mths. Can stand unassisted for a while now. I took the photos with ben loo at Foto U. He's quite good at making funny faces and noises and makes matt laugh and smile.

kittybride, no tink the promotion is over already... But think grace poissons etc had a better deal, $120 including high resol. Mine's excluding. But i think no need for that la. Too big already.
Rachel C, no, we style his hair ourselves. Actually we always comb his hair into a Beckham hairstyle after bath every day... In fact, it was the Glen E nurse who started doing that when we leave him at the hospital for jaundice. So we continue to do that haha. This is Matt at 1 week old... Haha...

Gymboree: I've dropped Gymboree a call and they will call me back to see if they can set aside a private play hour for us! =)
Tinkabel: I told Gymboree about your card situation and they mentioned that its fine as long as you can show an email from them saying that you're a member there. When are you leaving back to Shanghai again?
I can only make it on weekends so its either the 4th or 11th of October (both Saturdays).
Members pay $12 otherwise its $20 per baby. Best part is that both parents can come along!

Tinkabel: voted for your prince already! So cute, he can sit on the horse unassisted.
Weishy: Voted for your princess! I like the wings she wore on.
Skyeskye: your gal sound like what my son did. I gave up patting him to sleep on his cot cos he will always climb up. Nowsaday, I put him in the sarong and when he fall asleep, then I will carry him to put in his cot. Haha...

Hi Kaye not too sure if I'll survive Disneyland man... Queue always so long, and I also dunno what my boy can do there probably go around looking for Mickey, Minnie, Pooh and all. DOn't think he can take any rides.
Ueno, thanks for info. I might not be renting a car cos I'm going with my aunt and grandma and they are like against the idea but I'll try to convince them again about renting a car. It's much easier to travel around with one.
Hey did you have a hard tie adjusting L to the US time? My son had a v difficult time adjusting, kept waking up to play for the 1sy week. I was soooo tired!

suzanne,
Thank God! Leroy adjusted well, went straight into US time but for the 1st couple of days he woke up in the middle of the night for milk after that he will go back to sleep. I think on the 4th day, he slept through the night already. When we got back to Sin, it was the same thing. So i didnt have any problem with jet lag. Leroy really enjoyed Disneyland, he took most of the rides except those which he failed to meet the height requirements. Those which he was allowed on we went on all of them, i marked out every single ride. Hehe..we got there at 10am n left at 7.30pm. The queue wasnt that bad, u can take the fast pass for the more popular rides so it saves u some time. But it really depends on yr boy cos some of the rides r quite rough n its quite dark inside. L v garang so he squeals in delight n was v excited. BUt some kids cried. so use yr own discretion.

Hi Ueno, Lucky you! You know I have still not managed to make him sleep through ever since we got here. Disneyland sounds exciting! Which are the rides you took? I doing my disneyland map research now. I used fast pass for the popular rides in Tokyo and euro disney but have to strategise you know? haha! Did you go on Dumbo,It's a small world, peter pan kind rides? Erm did you go to both the park and the california adventure park? Spending 2 days there so I am thinking if I should go for both or just one. How did you settle his food? I dunno how to solve the porridge problem.
dreamer can advise what you do with your kiddo at home the whole day or any SAHM for that matter? Sorry I'm really not used to taking care of my son the whole day... Kinda get frustrated at times cos I feel so bored. Plus, cos I just got here, I have not met any mummies with kids the same age as my boy so kinda hard to click. Hopefully it's just the initially settling down issue.
suzanne,
we went on
Jungle Cruise
Alice in Wonderland
Casey Jr. Circus Train
Chip 'n Dale Treehouse
Donald's Boat
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Goofy's Playhouse
"it's a small world"
King Arthur Carrousel
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Peter Pan's Flight
Pinocchio's Daring Journey
Storybook Land Canal Boats
Astro Orbitor
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
Mickey Mouse n Meet Mickey
Winnie The Pooh n friends
Actually all these rides do not have a long queue, except Peter Pan. Are u going on a weekday? it might be less crowded. I didnt go to California Adventure Park as the rides there are mainly for older kids. We had a kitchen in our room so I prepared his food everyday before we leave the hotel. I cooked porridge/pasta n kept them in a thermos flask.

Hi all,
We went to jurong bird park today. Big mistake, the queue was 1/2 hr long and there was only
Bongo burgers to eat at. We had to queue at bongo burger for another 1/2hr to place our order and because the place was packed we ordered takeaway....had to wait another 45mins for our food and we had to shout at the manager to get our food. Felt really sorry for them because it was very busy and I think they were really overwhelmed with the amount of orders. But it was badly managed with people complaining left right and center. My hubby scolded at the manager to shut down the till until they have sorted out all their backlog of orders!! We won't be going back and if we ever do we will definitely pack our own picnic!!!!
Now, exhausted and wonder why we went in the first place!
Never go to Jurong bird park on Children day ever again!!!
