Recipe to share: Jelly coconut: put some konyakku or agar agar powder (pre-dissolved in hot water) into the coconut well, cool and set in fridge for a few hours, and you get an end product very similar to what is sold outside!

Hi Mom2nat,
How are you?? Busy holiday for you!! Highland Hotel for Platinum card members right..Wah..if u can book, must be high-rollers while u are at the casino.
I liked my mom's room, superior delux, which faces the outdoor theme park. Mine was the deluxe (8th floor) but faced the air con condenser. Toilet facilities also very nice. Warm and noisy. Luckily it rained, so it wasn't that warm. Next time must remember to specify clearly.

Mom2Nat,
Like wht Blackbatz said you must be a high roller in Casino! I seldom go one, but I do like gambling in Casino.
I thought all kids under 12 need to pay? That is what the staff told me, not true? Or is it less than 76cm then can don't pay?
Met Kam and her family @ Taka during Toy Story 3 Meet and Greet session! XY is so cute! Kept pulling Issyen's clothes.

krystle,
i am back from my MBS hotel stay. Photos are uploaded in my FB
As for feedback...well my hb wrote a letter to MBS management on the following:
Here a list of events that happened during my stay on 25th June.
1) Lapse in Basic Security / Invasion of Privacy - Two strangers barged into my room and both parties realised that we were issued with the same room key. To add, my wife was upset over this encounter as she is not adequately dressed when the incident occurred. This incident was reported to your hotel duty manager for follow up.
2) Poor Service Recovery – Your hotel duty manager show no sincerity to protect the interest of your hotel guests. Despite not addressing and following up our concern, I received a call from your Front Office staff offering me a $50 dining credit as service recovery. I am sure there are more appropriate ways of service recovery instead of this $50 dining credit. I think is an insult to the privacy of my wife.
You duty manager committed to offer me a written apology before I check-out the next day. However upon checking out, this commitment was again not delivered. A subsequent feedback has been lodge with your Front Office Manager, Ms XXX who she promised me that she will follow up on this personally. Upon writing this email, I am still waiting for that promise to be fulfilled.
3) Lack of Dining Facility - All hotel restaurants were fully booked. The restaurants in service are not able to accommodate the number of visitors (I was told that occupancy rate is only 50% that night) and there is no priority queue for in-house guests. We ended up ordering room service that took a graveyard timing of 45 minutes to deliver. This SLA is barely on par with McDonald’s delivery during their peak hours when the latter is residing kilometres away from where we are located.
3) Pre-mature Expiry of Room Card Key - This occurred 2 times during the 24 hours stay. On the first occasion, I had to step out of the casino (which I am engaged in table games) as both my wife and kids are locked out from the hotel room. On the second occasion, my wife and kids are left stranded in their wet swimming suits while I ran the errand to have the card reactivated.
4) Wrong Information Provided - We were told by our hotel receptionist (when I called 6688-8868) that only the bar located inside the casino screened World Cup. However, when I walked past FUSE bar located in the hotel lobby, it was screening World Cup.
5) Inaccurate Thermostat Reading for Shower – The water mixer reading shown is inaccurate. It took me 10 minutes to get the temperature barely warm for my kids to bath. (For records, they caught a cold after the stay in MBS).
6) Long SLA for Car Retrieval - Record time of 20 minutes for valet to drive the car over. I had not encountered this before and with this series of encounters, it certainly exceeded the threshold limit on my distraught wife and kids.
This is certainly not in line with what we had thought it would be, and what MBS had said they would deliver.

Steph,
Wah the service really sucks in MBS leh. Then I don't want to consider staying for the time being liao.
No wonder when I saw your pics, I was curious why you chose room service when you should go outside and had a good meal.
Your hubby should consider to post this in ST forum if there is no further action from them. It will be a strong wakeup call for them. Normally if send complain via email, the way most hotel treated are very artificial and surface, given us the standard non-convincing answer.

kitsune,
i see, i'm sick of answering to my maid of whatever curiousity she has, probably cos she always act smart and assume her way through. For eg last weekend we went airport for dinner, she ask if we are going to meet my family for dinner and if we are fetching someone from the airport. Or if we go to my inlaws' house and if someone not there, she will ask, how come this who and who not here...etc...etc...i have little patience for her curiousity now. and after we came back from HK, i came to know that she enjoyed her vacation at my parents' house watching tv whole day even though i gave her instructions to help my parents. And when she saw our HK photos, she will ask how come there's no Dora etc in Disneyland......etc etc etc...haha actually she's just curious but i just don't have the patience to entertain her at this moment...

Luvv, haha, we never tell the maid anything cos my hb always make last minute plans. Sometimes, she has to come and ask us if she needs to cook dinner at 5pm. Ya, when I think of bringing the maid to hotel stays to enjoy, I feel very 'bu ping heng'. But I bu she de to leave Raelynn behind lor.
Sian, my year end holiday also like that lor. MIL confirmed don't want to go. She said we can leave both kids behind and me and hubby go alone but I 'fang bu xia' and feel guilty to wean Raelynn off. Plus if it is just two of us, may not want to go Taiwan cos got to keep Taiwan for the kids. Hb everything leave it to me but I don't even know what I want.

morning everyone...
so mad with the cc that C is suppose to start this month, i was wondering how come the cc never inform me to get prepared, like buying uniform / mattress etc...so i sms the centre director yesterday and then she tell me that there're no vacancy and my girl is the 1st on the waiting list. I was so puzzled cos she told me have, that's why i already placed my deposit end of April and submitted all the necessary documents. We waited for 2 months plus for nothing so i asked her how long do i have to wait, she say she cannot confirm as there're no withdrawals. Come'on, is it that she accept my girl as she anticipate withdrawals?? And she don't bother to inform me earlier so that i can look for alternative? She basically sit on it until i contacted her. So mad...now hubby say even if there're placing also don't want already.Argh..sickening, how can this woman handle things so irresponsibly.

hi luvv, seems like many centres are full. i placed my name on waitlist for an infant care for my #2 due to be born in Sept. The principal told me there will be no vacancy until Apr 2011 when the oldest of the infants graduates, and even then, i am #7 on the waitlist for that single vacancy in Apr 2011.
so i give up and look for alternative infant care centre, else when my ML ends, i can't go back to work.

prata_queen,
so have you found any alternative? yes seems like everywhere else is full and unless i wait, seems to have no other alternative except to just place her in kindy. I'm mad basically cos the centre director didn't bother to inform me and sits on it for so long.

luvv, ya, i'm deciding whether to put #2 at the same infant care as #1 previously. The problem is this infant care centre is quite far from my #1's current childcare centre (i switched once #1 reached 18 mths) so every morning and evening, the logistics of driving 2 to different schools is a problem. Gotta tahan until #2 reach 18 mths then transfer to same childcare centre as #1.
hope i'm not confusing you.
abt your director not informing you until you called, its irresponsible. what happens if you have no alternative arrangement? at least my first choice infant care centre was very frank and told me my chances are very slim. So tat's y i am giving up and seeking alternative.

prataqueen,
oic, i suppose now you have to decide earlier to secure a place for #2, will you be taking whole stretch of 4 months ML?
The director is not so upfront with me, she told me to "come and place deposit to secure a place ASAP". And now this....i really don't know what to say...
pixie,
ya irresponsible and the centre is not those atas place or what, just a normal under the HDB block kind of CC...

luvv, that infant care centre that has no vacancy is not only frank, but also honest as well when it comes to money matters. She refused to accept my deposit altho i wanted to secure a place for my #2. Probably cos she knows the situation very well, that there will not be any vacancy in the next 12 months.

luvv, i prob will take 8 wks 1 stretch, then use up my annual leave before Dec, then take 4 weeks. The remaining 4 weeks i will take within 12 months of delivery of child.
i dunno if this is allowed, gotta ask HR.

Hi, mummies.
Luvv, you are making me worried leh. I registered for my girl in PCF pre-nursery and now still no news leh... I called the office and they said once I registered means got place for my girl. But I never received any official letter/note from them stating clearly that my girl has a slot.
Any other mummies whose kids are in PCF kindy? Do they give you any official letter to inform that your kid has a slot?
