<font color="ff0000">Hotel recommendation</font>
A friend of mine will be coming to Singapore for holiday with her family (2 adults + 3 kids). She is looking at a budget of $150/night. Which hotel has big room to offer at this budget, conveniently located? Thanks!
 
Icy, sorry, just managed to check forum today. The milk wont taste weird cuz my son drank it last time leh. I use the soup instead of water, so the milk is not diluted. I made the soup for 3 days and he recovered liao.

Krystle/Pauline, why is induce painful? Mine was induced but I dint feel pain?

Verene, Javier was sick but still went to watch elmo show? Anyway I went to compasspoint on Saturday to watch the elmo show and shaun likes the elmo song too!! And they were really cute lor, their dancing were pretty “hiao2” haha. I am going to bring shaun to the show again when they come to northpoint. Will tape it all down! Cuz shaun keeps playing what we recorded last Saturday :p

Pixie, you were at compasspoint last sat! me too leh! 4pm show too. Ya too many ppl, din spot you too.

Yvonne, smooth delivery!! And enjoy your confinement!!
 
luca, when i tried asking about trade in value early last month, different singtel shops quoted me different prices, $230 vs $280.

Yvonne, when's your edd? Natural or c section?

kam, i think most town hotels charge more than $200 unless u got corporate tie ups. Previously, our international patients with budget of $150 stayed at budget hotel 81 but location not ideal, either chinatown or geylang. :p
 
morning all!

over the long weekend, my #2 bite korkor for a few times when they r fighting over things. actually he's been biting korkor for quite long oredy, but seem to be getting worst, he even bite korkor's face. n last night at my mil place, my inlaws all saw how didi bites korkor. mil very angry, told us to slap didi if he does dat again, and must be hard so dat he wun do it again. d sil also told korkor to slap didi too. im against teaching korkor to beat didi, wat kinda discipline is dat, teaching the brothers to "fight" against each other. we always tell didi not to bite korkor, but doesnt seem to work. i really duno how. poor korkor! haiz!
 
kitsune,
oh like dat 1 ar. which means u need to go all the singtel shops and see who gives u the best deal liao lor.
 
Kam, $150 per night for 5 ppl? Xmas and holiday season, I think pretty hard to get leh. Unless get budget hotel liao. my sister initially wanted to come here with her hubby+family but got to cancel cuz all the hotels she wanted all fully booked leh.
 
kitsune,
Wah really huh. So $150 is not going to get any good hotel ah.

Luca,
Your ILs family very funny hor. How can they teach gorgor to beat didi, alamak! Does it always happen when they are fighting for things? How about your try to ask didi why he beats gorgor? And ask gorgor don't fight with didi, ask him to tell you instead if he wants something.
 
Thanks Kam and Tongtong.. Im kinda stress of my on coming confinement actually. aarrgghh!

Kitsune.. im gg csec on the 8th Dec. but if u induce on the 5th, i tink by 7th or 8th u wld have already been discharged.

Kam.. regarding yr fren's accomodation, since got 3 kids hor.. y not try downtown east chalet..i tink will be cheaper but the location abit far from town. Hmm.. now sch holiday also dunno got good deal or not or will it be more ex. Just a suggestion only.. heehee
 
Kam,
yalor, im damn pissed. heng korkor never listen to them. didi always give me the blur look when i tell him dun bite korkor. sometimes korkor will "provoke" didi, the things dat didi 1s, he 1s to. and after he gets it, he played for awhile, then dun want liao. but sometimes when they r happy, he will share playing toys with didi.
 
Kam, GCW Hotel isnot bad, but the location is not good. Got to walk a bit then can reach MRT station. But got bus though, can take bus to oRchard.
 
kam,
like tongtong said, the hotel itself is not bad. my ex company used them for corporate visitors. but the location is a bit more out of the way. nearest shopping mall/supermarket etc is great world city.
 
hihi morning all

grumpus,
how's the attendance (payment) so far for our birthday bash on 13th Dec, Sunday? How many paid up (deposit $15) liow? I wonder how's the goodie bag preparation (taken care by elmo?). I saw from JW mama shop selling pre-packed ones at $1.20/pkt consist of balloon, whistle, mask, a small party popper etc
Look forward to this day

tongtong,

Yesterday i went great world city &amp; there was a Xmas fair. I chance upon crayola products &amp; they were on sales
happy.gif

Steph, thanks for the invitation! But I got problem signing in, I actually got multiply account long long time ago but I forgot my password. will sort out tonight and cant wait to see your beautiful photos!! Now whenever my boy saw the kids on barney show write and draw with crayon, he will switch off the barney show and go look for the crayons.
 
Jess,
The color guides &amp; color wonder is $7.90/pkt while the smaller pack on the extreme right is 2 for $12.90
happy.gif

The xmas fair (beside best denki) also sell alot of other toys &amp; educational items like story books, puzzle set abt $9.00/box niah...can buy le.
 
Steph: talking abt Xmas, we stuck up so many toys for my girl. So don't know which one for xmas or which ones for her birthday. Hahaha. We bought few boxes of puzzle, counting game, IQ games, Melissa &amp; Doug toyss, electronic cash registry, marble games. Now take time to give her one by one. ;-)
The one you bought is nice huh. I think Z will get hooked on this;-) I am aiming to the Aqua Doodle Wall Mat from target USA but currently out of stock i guess. My girl always want to draw on the wall so I hope this one will help me not have to clean up the walls.

Kam: You can ask your friend consider Royal Hotel near Newton MRT, Which period your friend coming to SG? Try to avoid Peak period like new year &amp; xmas, coz all of them have surcharge.
 
Hello mummies,
Juz came back from zoophonics holiday prog... So glad that J enjoy the whole class ;)

Anyone want to meetup on 7 - 11 Dec weekday? Heehee, jio u all take half day to a/c this lonely SAHM, kekeke ;)

Icy,
Think no more x'mas gift exchange. Thot they all agree to make do with the goodies bag?
 
I brought this playschool kit from vivo recently.
Include safety scissor, color pencils (safe for young todd), lots of stickers, activity papers, washable marker, 3 ink washable booklets (i.e alphab, numbers, shapes...etc) that can re-use. Now got 25% discount... so sad... I brought it 2-3weeks ago &amp; was given 15% only. The original price is less than $60. Good investment. Can pass down to meimei next time ;)

Usually i am the one who shop &amp; buy toys for Z, hb not so keen to invest $ in toys cos he say will make the hse very messy &amp; he's lazy to pickup &amp; tidy the scattered toys like lego, puzzle etc. The electronic cash registry you bought is which type?

JanBB,

luca,
You can try to give #2 a time-out whenever he bites korkor. Tell him it's not nice to bite and he will be punished with a time-out session if he does it again. Try to allocate a corner in your house as the naughty corner and make him sit on a chair or stand in that corner whenever he bites.

pixie,
I think a square cake with a 2 on it is good enough? Easier to cut into pieces as well...hehehe.

steph,
We wanted to buy that ATM coin bank as well. B seems to like it but when we ask him to choose between Thomas and this, he chose Thomas
happy.gif
 
steph: looks like Z &amp; R have alot of saving!!! The one I bought for J is very different type, its just a toy from ELC comes with microphone and card scanner. ;-) Been aiming for this for long time and it's on sale recently and drag my hubby to go and paid for it. ;-) http://www.kidscentral.com.au/elc/p-2376-cash-register.aspx

I am the one who shops for toys and stuffs for my girl too. As long as my girl enjoys the toys I bought, both me &amp; hubby are very happy. So far, most of them are educational toys so I think it's ok to buy. ;-)
 
blessedbaby, Kiddy palace and BHG has something similar but only costs $20. Probably made in China bah. I've yet to buy one cos RaeAnne's 7 yr old cousin has one and I'm waiting for him to tire of it and pass down to us. Hee.
happy.gif
 
tongtong,

he is feeling active and ok so we bring him to elmo show. bought him the cookie monster t-shirt and shorts set there for him as well. his diahorrea came back when we give him milk. so I bought a small tin of isomil for him but he refused to drink. wasted my $$ on that milk.
 
Krystle, which part of the induce is painful? U mean contraction after the induce? Or when we are poked the needle ?

Icy, thanks for the info on mygym. Tried calling to register but they are always busy leh. Dunno how to register also.
 
ylim,
Hb didn't ask Z to choose or ask whether he like it, he just buy it cos he thinks it's cool...like tech toy? I think it's too early to teach Z how to use that ATM coin bank, now both coin bank in my store room *duh*. will open ceremony when he turn 3YO bah
happy.gif


blessedbaby,
The ELC cash registry looks cute &amp; fun but hor very ex le! I am sure J will enjoyed playing with it
happy.gif
 
tongtong,

he still wants his milk leh. no choice, dilute it lor. can we mix the soy milk with the cow milk huh??
gave him plain porridge these days...his appetite drop these days. he is so cranky now.
 
Yesterday HR asked me to lie down on meimei's bed, gave me his milk bottle, and oi-oi me to go sleep :) Think he started to like playing pretend.
 
Wah Verene...looks like a gd deal at ToyRus! I wonder if it offer the same feature &amp; model like mine. Hb bought it in Jan09 at abt $30ea &amp; it's the exact model of what POSB is offering but w/o their branding &amp; name (label) on the coin bank.
 
Kam,

he is having diarrhea and he wants his milk...and he reject the soy milk. we still give the cow milk and dilute it lor.
 
Kam: good huh? Johanna has been playing pretend for couple of months with us and with her doll too. ;-) She cleans the face, feeds the doll whatever she eats, pats to sleep, pick the doll when she is up from nap, clap doll' hands, blah blah. Very cute to see them like that. ;-))))

I am very sure HR loves his little mei mei very much!!!

Pauline: yeah, I know the cash register is selling cheaper coz I bought 1 set few years ago for my friend' daughter. I found this one is so much better quality and comes with all the accessories (food, money, scanner to swipe the credit card) so it is worth it. If you buy the one w/o all these, end up may cost you the same. ;-)
Hubby didnt want to buy it at first coz he said it's expensive. In the end, we bought 2 set, one for my girl and one for J' little auntie' birthday coming up in Dec.

Verene: the ATM machine looks good and sounds like a good deal too!!!
 
Kam, shaun too, he even feeds his milk bottle to the bears and mashi maro during bedtime wor. then only his turn to drink. Now he wants to do everything we do. When I make his milk, he wanna open the can and pour the powder in. quite headache when he wants to do everything on his own.

Verene, I think don’t mix the milk . if he is ok taking diluting milk then continue lor.
 

blessedbaby, shaun likes to play with the soft toys too. i wonder wheher it's too girly?? yea it's cute to see them do la especially feeding milk LOL
