Diana,

I got 6 persons so the HK express might not be that cheap. At first was thinking of taking HK express and then the cab. But I scare when my parents going back, they not very sure how to get back to the same place to take airport express.

So I thot take the bus instead (HK33/pax). At least know where the bus stop and to alight, easier for everyone. Will still plan with my dad and see what he says. Cos they leaving later.

So far:
Day 1
- Harbour City

Day 2
- Disney land

Day 3
- Stanley Market
- Causeway bay - Central/Fashion Walk/etc

Day 4
- Lai Chi Kok
- ???The peak??

Day 5
- ?? Probably last minute buys


Ant1217,

I think might be minor sprain. Maybe try just massaging the whole leg?

icebaby,

see the link on the group of 4 and group of 2 promotion....

[september]

icebaby,

i see, understand wat u mean. but if i nt wrong, the pick up and aligning point for the shuttle bus shld be the same de. and the good ting abt airport express is tat u can check in ur luggage at the station instead of airport.

re: HK

[kaka2606]

choc,
i also wan the contact


re:mmr
just brought tim to the pd today as his cough got worse...and she mentioned tat nothing much can be done as the mmr jab lowers his immunity so he'll take longer to recover...and this only happens to the chix pox and mmr vaccines as they use live cultures...haiz so better lock up your kids after the mmr and not be like me... brought him out everyday after the jab so dunno where he got the germs from

 

[icebaby1_98]

sugar,

Sayang. Hope Tim gets better.

Normally after jabs, i try not to bring kids out. It's safer. Probably after 3-4 days it's okay.

 

[september]

maro,

ya tat is the same wholesale centre i am saying....

icebaby,

paiseh, they dun hv gucci but got coach bags....heehee...me mixed up le....

 

[september]

icebaby,

[dolly23]

Maro / Diana,
by seeing you gals posting, makes me so tempted to go HK.

Sugar,
sayang tim ... yeah i agree, this jab is damn strong, and in fact, i am still monitoring rayden, like on and off slight fever, around 37.1 - 37.6 degree like tt.

 

[icebaby1_98]

Diana,

My email is [email protected].

Woo Coach bags. You think it's cheaper in HK or buy from US better?

Thanks babe.

Sugar,

Agree with Dolly. Normally this MMR jab hor fever dun come in the first day. Normally come within the week and come on and off. Take care!

 

[mashimaro08]

diana,
oh so we're talking abt the same thing.. haha..

icebaby,
dont expect much on the Coach, price slightly cheaper but off seasons since this is an outlet shop. I think from US still better! I did not buy anything from there..

dolly,
go go go.. i went during SQ promo, cheap cheap, $298 by A380 some more.. hehe

hope rayden fast fast fight over the virus. look out for rashes too, usually come 4-5 days after the jab. i agree mmr is strong, postponing my boy's jab as late as possible..

 

[september]

icebaby,

[september]

mmr

i hv nt brought daryl for his mmr jab yet...coz tat time we gng to HK so thot better postpone since it will develop fever after the jab mah....nw see most of the kids taking it hv fever and rashes make me wonder if i shld bring him for the jab or nt....haiz....headache...

 

[tge25]

[mickey_mum]

Ting,
How are you feeling right now? Me already in my 12th weeks but i still vomit this morning... if i rem correctly, my ms only stopped when i reached 16th weeks for my boi. Haiz...

Re: Holidays
Initally my hubby and I also planning a holiday end Dec cos have not been away since my boi is born... Now gotta postponed even longer liao... so envy...

Re:MMR
Taking my boi for the jab in another 2 more weeks. Looks scaring... My mil says if make the "bao shen" for them to drink before the jab, they will be stronger and fever will not take so long to recover too... Any mummies try??

ylyn,
Actually i have already start to give my boi all sorts of food liao... i even start him on white rice liao. Strawberries too! Sometimes, i am lazy to cook so we will go eat tim sum and i will order "pi dian porridge" for him and he loves it!

 

[icebaby1_98]

Von,

Nod, normally if it's first kid, some take longer to plan go holiday or whatever. For me, cos got pple at home take care. Ilyse not sticky...so I ok. =) So bring my 2 boys holiday instead since now still haven't really full school work.

Diana,

THANKS for the itinerary. Will go study it.

 

[september]

von,

i thot if u preggie, ur boy cant take mmr nw coz he might develop fake measle and could spread to u which will endanger the little one in u. u better check wif PD before u let ur boy take ok.

Diana,
for me, not planning to go HK this year, only plan to go next yr, as my sil is also staying there and she just came back for 2 weeks. Was planning to go during their next school holiday so that my niece and nephew can play with rayden, and can go disney together, and also
bringing my inlaws over as well.

Re : MMR
actually i think the side effects is depending on individual baby, fever, rashes ... etc .. so far rayden dun have rashes, just on and off slight fever. just got to monitor. anyway it is a compulsory jab, so our bb cannot escape from it ... hahaha

 

[felval]

see below findings
"
Rubella, otherwise known as German measles, was also very common before the advent of widespread vaccination. The major risk of rubella is if a pregnant woman is infected, her baby may contract congenital rubella from her, which can cause significant congenital defects.[11]

All three diseases are highly contagious."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_Jab

[dolly23]

val,
no, i have not place order for my $9 bp, gg to do so tonite .. cos i am busy sourcing for hotel info.

Not planning to go bkk after much consideration, cos i dun think rayden will enjoy there, and so is my hubby if i busy shopping and he will need to chase rayden, so dun think i will enjoy fully, so i rather gv up this trip and go on my own with my galfriends, like what i did in March.
i am sourcing to book local hotel or maybe nearby. Now either i will book flight to genting under www.fireflyz.com.my and bring along my inlaws.
Thanks for choc, there is a promo for Hotel Interconntential, buy 1 nite and get 1 nite free .. $250++ for 2 nites stay, and i managed to reserve for christmas day (25 - 26Dec), pending for my hubby to decide.
