Luvv, oh i mean re-use is to rewash. ie, after it was wet, then wash and dry it, can be reused then. i actually throw the liner into washing machine(in laundry bag) to wash , (after washing it once with water), still looks fine leh . i think i re-used it till it cannot "make it liao" kind lol.

We rented before we bought this unit. Yes, I know what you mean. The rental price has gone up CRAZY! Which prompted us to get our own at the soonest possible.
Oh, forgot you are already in HK! Have a good trip!
Icy,
Haha. Thanks. He is reasonably good. The work stress is really do him no good, and at times when he reaches home to find the kids have gone to bed, he felt quite sad about it. But when he has more time at home, he usually turns on the tv first before he attends to the kids, or ask the kids to watch tv together I don't nag him anymore, just let him be lor. TV can be all that bad, or can it
kitsune,
I thought you are going Penang this week? My mum's cooking is very very nice, though simple, but nice. And I can ask her to cook what I want to eat.

tongtong,
My mum is okay. She wants to live with any of us so that she can be near us. She likes our place mainly because it's very convenient for her to go marketing, and that my kids are easy to handle.
While my dad is totally opposite. He doesn't want to stay with any of us for a long time, he can only tolerate 1-2 months stay only. He wants to be at his own home, to be with his own friends to feel the comfort.

Kam yup, you r right.
Hee, got no more food in the house but cannot buy too much cos flying off on fri. Can't wait to eat authentic Penang laksa n go to spa.
your dad sounds like mine, he loves being at home a lot, I remember everytime there r family gatherings, my mum wants to stay longer but my dad will rush to go home. Your mum is very good, I want to be that kind of mum to my gals too. If they marry, will definitely ask them to stay near me. I can cook dinner n help them look after kids but probably will need maid unless hubby is retired by then.

tongtong
the cov for my JE place is 26k. so in COV, i earned 20K
but you dont think about the "cash" that i've earned from COV or from the sale of my sk flat, coz whatever ive earned, im going to dump it into my JE flat, to lower the amount of loan i am getting.
imagine that this JE flat costs 100k more than my SK flat, so by earning 20k seems peanuts to the 100k wor...
just typing the figures makes my head ache. 100k??!! haiz....i must be crazy to shift house at this bullish time
kitsune
bingo lor, i took out some $$ from the sale of my SK flat to pay for reno, and soft furnishing (cooker stove, sinks, taps etc).
the only furniture i have to buy for this time round is a sofa set and coffee table. the rest, use back old ones!! cannot splurge liao!

Pixie, wa, 'must' strike by this year, then u aiming for rabbit Liao.
Mcfluffy,
#2 make in Japan loh. Hahaha.
Here are some suggestions for Japan. Not sure which part you are going, I can give more ideas.
1. Cosmetics - Like what pixie said, cannot give that a miss loh. I am like doing my whole yr stockup during my japan trip. Even those brands like majolica, DHC are so much cheaper there. Look for a pharmacy called Matsumoto. This is a chain store and can be found everywhere.
2. Snacks/tibits - Ameyoko (Ueno). Cheap at wholesale prices. Japs practically lelong there.
3. Shoes - Try a few stores located along Takeshita Street in Harajuku (cross the road at Harajuku station and the street is on left side). Cheap @ 2000yen/pair and nice. Bad thing is size is small.
3. Accesssories - Paris Kids also at Takeshita Street.
4. Shopping - Forget Shinjuku, Ginza. Go for Shibuya and Ikebukuro especially for cheaper prices. Can go Parco, Sunshine city to shop.
5. Factory outlet - cannot miss this in japan. If have time, go to Gotemba outlet (near Mt Fuji). If no time, go to Makuhari outlet (near Disneyland).
6. Uniqlo - Buy there coz so much cheaper and wider range.

Krystle, do you think Japan is a good place to bring kids? I'm wondering whether to change plans and bring the kids there in Dec cos can bunk in with my cousin who has a nice apartment in central tokyo. Bad thing is all 4 of us got to sleep on her living room. ;P

Krystle, because other than Disneyland, I dun know what to bring the kids to do in Tokyo.
Tongtong, u got kunbo at home but din know what to

Kitsune,
Yes, definitely Japan is good place to bring kids. I think they will enjoy themselves. Go Disneyland + DisneySea are already 2 full days well-spent. Then food wise is ok coz most places served kids' meals. If not, fast food is avail everywhere too. I think other sightseeing places are nice for kids to see and run about too. Like Hakone, Meiji Shrine, castle etc. Then there are also many indoor theme parks. I know there is 1 ice-cream theme park in Sunshine city.
Wah, your cousin lives there then can consider to bulk in. But keep in mind that apt in tokyo is very small so you got to check with your cousin if there is space for your family loh. Even if there is living room, the size is like our bedrm here. Then with the furniture etc, practically not much space to sleep. Another thing is transport. Coz now there are still quite a lot of train stations that don't have lifts. So if bring stroller maybe a challenge. But they are building more now. Then dec quite cold. So got to buy winter clothes for your kids and then your luggage will be quite bulky.
Forgot to tell you that some factory outlets/shopping centres have play area for kids nearby so can keep the children occupied.
In short, JPN is a nice place. Hahahaha.
I also plan to bring my family there next yr.
But first, me should be going there in Aug.
Pixie,
Just book a flight and go there this weekend! Hahaha.

> we went Night Safari with Z
We were overwhelmed to see so many people visiting night safari!
during the past weekend, R badly constipated again
His constipation has lead to anal bleeding whenever he has his bowel movements
We have tried dietary modifications but seem like not helping much so i guess i've to try the last resort, change his FM to soy milk & monitor.
Will bring him see PD next wk as PD on vacation.
Because of this issue...caused some unhappiness with my MIL...sigh

i duno how useful .. but whenever we cook this soup.... all of us, including the kids will has easy bowel movement.. but i guess, is cos of the veg inside the soup ..
we use campbell soup (1 can) puree the veg (brocolli, carrot and watever veg u wana add), chicken slices, cheese. sometimes we will use chicken bones to use as soup base lor. but in short... lots of fibre in the soup haha

Yes, we went to Zoo, again Haven't been thre for the past 2-3 monthe leh. Just renewed our membership. And this time round, signed up for the magazines also, Nat Geo, Nat Geo for kids, and 1 more don't remember what title for kids also. Big damage! But seeing how much HR loves the animals is all worthwhile!
krystle,
You made me want to go Japan! But before that, I think I want to go HK first, my next holiday!
mylvera,
Of course considered lah. My gal very funny, now that she cruises very well, then only now she finally wants to crawl on all fours, still wobbly type, very funny.
steph,
Poor R. How about fresh milk? Since he is already 1 yo, can try fresh milk? Think fresh milk should be less heaty than formula as it's not fortified with iron?
