dolly,
I stayed at HK Disneyland Hotel. This is the hotel with the restaurant - Enchanted Garden, that has the int spread with disney characters going ard to entertain the guest.

Entrance to the Enchanted Garden Restaurant:

too busy taking food and eating n waiting for the disney characters to pop by our table tat i didnt take a pic of the int spread.

But took a pic of their bfast spread (hmmm..nt tt great)...look nt at the food but at the plates they use...everything is just so disney. hahaha.

There is no hotel inside the park itself. Both hotels are out of the park abt 5mins to reach by free hotel shuttle bus (every 10mins). The bus will stop at disneyland hotel first n then hollywood hotel.

ya. the stay and play for 2days is v worth it...if nt u got to spend another $70SGD for the park ticket.

 

[felval]

angela,
gd wat! hehehe. u going to explore other places in HK or just disneyland?

stay there really convenient la (to the disney park) and u get to enjoy the hotel facilities.

if only i had heel my hubby's advise n booked all 3nites at the disney hotel lo!

hahaha. so this is just the start of my spree on gmarket huh. hehehe. i stopped looking at the site liao. the more i see the more i will buy!

i have 3 items to get frm RL...waiting for sales...

jo,

[dolly23]

Angela,
if u want to stay so many days in the park, plan and see if you could make it by 31 March for the promo.... it is very worth, stay 1 nite and get 2 days pass !

tt why now i am also thinking of changing to earlier date, and stay 2 nites there ... since i am planning for 7D 6N there.

 

[dolly23]

val,
thanks for the info and nice photos ... haha i still thought that there is a hotel inside the park itself !

 

[felval]

dolly,

[leslieanne]

Hi Val/Dolly

Stay so many nights there!!! The upsetting part is when hb say... " this trip is for my darling princess ley, so mummy must look at my darling interests " wow... burning fury!!!! B4 31March?? No la cos is meant to be there to celebrate her 2nd bday. Wont bring forward for sure.

Alice,

I also eat the whole bowl in front of her cos she make me so angry... she dun eat i eat la!!!! Somex reali yummy ley, dunno y like that. Took so much effort to cook and yet she like dun appreciate. No wonder my mum and her always like fighting a war while feeding. When hb around she act act and open mouth big big. You see la, obviously bully us and try to be funni.

 

[tutu_san]

hi.howz everyone?

von, congrats.. really make up a "hao" in chinese.

rejecting food
same for darren... he becomes a very picky eater recently. last week at the club med bintan. only drank milk , eat biscuit, pancake, jap seaweed, some bread. totally reject the porridge restaurant made for him and fruits.

last sat, he rejected his dinner totally... daddy has to go out to din tai fung at j8 to get a bowl of chicken soup to mix with rice, then he finally open his golden mouth. really pengz

 

[september]

alice/jo/buttercup,

daryl is hving running nose and cough for a week le, since last monday lor....but he was very cranky the whole of yesterday. I was so exhausted lor...then nw, i start to feel my throat is dry and abit of block nose le...juz pop some medicine hopefully it will help lor....

jo,

i can imagine ur hb look....hahaha...muz be funny lor...

angela,

dun jealous lah...think of another way, ur hb dote megan coz he noe how difficult it is for u to gif birth to megan so he treasure the little bundle of love and happines tat represent the love ur and him hv mah....

val,

seeing all ur pic, make me determine to ensure i stay in disney hotel in my nx disney trip in future. hahaha....

 

[kaka2606]

ladies,
talking abt food...mine is always a battle...the only stuff tat can make tim open his mouth are fruits,biscuit and bread... so i always prepare some fruit to entice him to eat his porridge..latest is honey stars

angela,
tim too...he'll only eat my porridge readily if his daddy is around..tats why mums are meant for the kids to bully..furthermore my hubby is stuck in paris as his flt got diverted back to paris and the sian part is we dunno when he can come back as all the flts are full...haiz.. gotta look after tim alone for the next few days... lucky he got play school everyday so i've 2 hrs to myself

re:growth spurts
tim also always request for milk now... like for the night feed his usual was 180ml but the last few days he was only satified with 300ml... he kept asking for more... so in total he'll drink abt 700ml to 800 ml a day

von,
congrats on your gal... now can start shopping liao

 

[kaka2606]

jo,
jorel is sooooo cute!!!!

diana,
aiyoh...better rest well

 

[aliceteo]

Jo,
ya juz came back on sat =)
Rachel woke up on Sun asking for yeye, mama, sok sok... keep telling her they r not here haha.
jorel so mischievous at this age liao keke... so cute.

buttercup,
hmm... shiok rite, finish that bowl haha. Why dun u try cooking soup with softer rice? At this point, i will try everything juz to make her eat her meal lor =)

Re: Pig Liver
anyone started on liver already? I tried today and was so worried that rachel will reject since she already rejected beef. But luckily i cut into tiny small pieces and cook with chix and pork in soup and she din notice and ate all hehe...

 

[aliceteo]

angela,
haha... megan also bully u and yr mum ah, same same like rachel lar. Hiaz, somex they realli know how to act. Do u know rachel only brush her teeth when her daddy is around. I always fight with her just to brush her one tooth -_-"

Yanling,
wor... din tai fung! haha darren realli know how to feast at a young age =) But think the chix soup got MSG so is best to cook soup at home. I will dump chix, pork, cabbage, brocolli, egg tofu, carrot etc all ingredients into a pot and make a nice bowl of soup. Easy and yummy =p

diana,
aiyo... ya must prevent yrself from falling sick, if not damn jialat... the flu bug won't go away! take care..

sugar,

[leslieanne]

Hi Diana

Megan oso lao sai since yday... today giving her plain porridge wz soy sause.. Hope she beta cos later want to bring her to polliwogs..

Hi Sugar

Ya.. you are so right... We are meant for them to bully. Buay Tahan... Stuck in Paris?? tats bad cos now is super peak in Europe... When i still in the trade.. always have problem wz flights back from Europe esp Paris/London/Franfurt... Always have to beg airlines for seats but chances v slim de.... At least u hv 2hrs break each day... is not too bad afterall...

Hi Alice

They are all actresses lor... in front of daddy act good gal!!!!!! Megan wash her teeth herself de... we will pass her the toothbrush wz the paste and she will brush herself... But yday i read my friend blog and i feel guilty abt always saying megan notti... she says these in her blog " They are just curious and energetic and just need us to give them abit of time to explorer.. when they are done, they will do wat are asked. In the conventional way,people will say that they are naughty because they are active but in an unconventional way,they are really great kids. They are perfect, and we are actually the 1 with flaws " Is so true lor... Sighz... so i will try to be more patient to her.

 

[lindachang]

Yanling,
my boi started attending infant when he's 4 months old..so far so good. u r rite..my boi's infantcare teachers will encourage the tots (about 12 months old and above) to self feed in preparation for the tots' class (18 months and above). sure your boi will learn to self feed in no time...cheerios to darren! then u & hubby can eat your dinner while baby darren eats his

 

[eric_baby]

Angela ,

After reading your post ...

<font size="+1"><font color="ff0000"> They are just curious and energetic and just need us to give them abit of time to explorer.. when they are done, they will do wat are asked. In the conventional way,people will say that they are naughty because they are active but in an unconventional way,they are really great kids. They are perfect, and we are actually the 1 with flaws </font></font>

hmmm really highlight to hubby

to be more patient with Jorel now

 

[september]

Angela,

i usually thot it is the other way round...tat is after woman give birth, they focus is on the child and nt the hb, thus hb will feel nt wanted.....but it is cute to know tat such things are two way de.....for me hor is tat i got daryl i dun wan hb le....muahahahaha

Fully agreed to this :

They are just curious and energetic and just need us to give them abit of time to explorer.. when they are done, they will do wat are asked. In the conventional way,people will say that they are naughty because they are active but in an unconventional way,they are really great kids. They are perfect, and we are actually the 1 with flaws

and out flaws is we forget tat we hv passed the curious stage thus we will see their doings as NOTTI!!!

 

[corynn]

Alice,
I agree that now may b is their growth Spurts. Now Shaine drink 180 to 200 ml at least 4 times a day. Porridge also quite a lot. 1 Adult bowl size.


Jo,
how is Jorel? Growing up a lot?


Val,
It's a nice hotel with nice view. I will be going for short holiday as my parents will be on leave for holiday. Since i need to apply leave to baby sit her, i just find some place to go.


Dolly,
How is Rayden? Must be very talkative already right?

I think we might need to find a time for gathering.

Ting,
So far how is your pregnancy? Have u know is girl or boy?


Here is some update on Shaine photo.

 

[tge25]

[corynn]

Choc,
Thank you. Her hair very long already. Luckily she can sit still for us to tie different pattern for her.

That is a new car seat just more 1 week ago. Britax brand. She don't like car seat all the while. Luckily this car seat, she not rejected. So far so good.

 

[felval]

[corynn]

Val,
So pity for Damien to take so many med. All at a time and some only need to take twice a day?

Shaine's eye? Ai yoh, sometime hv double eyelid sometime not. May b her black eye ball is more than white and make u feel shui wang wang.

 

[eric_baby]

corynn ,

Shaine is getting more and more pretty

Jorel is still very tiny and getting more and more mischievious

 

[dolly23]

corynn,
ooh shaine looked like big girl, and i guessed her hair must be long, and i saw that you tied up pony tail for her, so sweet ! see her liao, makes me drool for a girl ! hahahaha

oh yes, rayden has been very talkative, talk alot, even during his kindermusik lesson, but all baby talk so u wun understand.

Wow, Shaine is also drinking alot of milk, well done ! nowadays i am so lazy, i cut down Rayden milk feed to 3 times, since he needs spoonfeed, and at times when he sleep early, i will let him skip it.

Val,
how is Damien now ? how come suddenly sick ?

Think Rayden is also not feeling well liao, cos from last nite till this morning, he LS 3 times, asked my mil to monitor him, if not this evening will bring him to see PD.

Diana,
how is Daryl as well ? hope that he is feeling better.

 

[eric_baby]

val ,

Oh noo ... poor Damien ...bobian must really let him take the medicines

.

so today on leave ...at home ?

 

[felval]

corynn,
3 types to be taken 3x a day. 1 type 2x a day. 1 type 1x a day.


dolly,
make u drool for a gal ah. hehehe. so any changes to ur plan of sticking to rayden or going to have #2? hehehe.

Haiz. He caught the flu bug frm me...I recovered liao then his turn. Flu ok liao then cough came n visit him.

Anyway, the pd says as I have childhood asthma, chances of Damien having it is there...so i got to be careful.

He is better nw aft the med. Altho sick but v v active still. Busy running ard in the clinic and complaining. Dr says active is gd. If he is v kuai n quiet when he is sick then I will really have to worry big time.

wah. Hope Rayden is nt suffering frm diarhoea and will get well soon too.

 

[leslieanne]

Hi val

[eric_baby]

Val ,

Ya loh ....Jorel that time sick ...the medicine suppose to make him sleep and drowsy but dunno why he is not drowsy after his medicine .

He will actively running up and down in the house ....like what you said if you see them restless think we will worry sick .

 

[felval]

Jo,
agree. actually I gave him cough syrup yest nite too. Thinking will make him drowsy so he will slp early. Who knows he still actively playing with his toys.

Now he is besides me, happily playing with his building blocks....

Ya, i rather he active than restless also...

 

[corynn]

val,
Wah, still can play happily with the blocks.

To all,
What are the toy that your kid is playing now? Shaine don't like toy. I really need to cratch my head to look for something that can attract her to play.

wow.. how come so many of you, kids drinking so much milk.. matthias only drink 600+ml everyday, at most 750ml.. but luckily he's taking alot of porridge and rice. for porridge, will be like adult portion, for rice, will be 3/4 of what he take for porridge.

corynn, shaine really pretty and got "mi ren de yan jing".. hehe.. like mummy la..

jo, what u said is right.. and also actually they don't really know what is right or wrong now. it's how we teach them at this point. so have to be consistent, cannot say no to something today and tomorrow ok, they will be confused..

 

[felval]

corynn,
ya. he likes to build blocks nw. aft he is done with building then will dismantle them one by one and re-build.
Shaine dun likes toys?? She still like books best?

I also do the same as alice, use alot of ingredients to make soup, v sweet. dun nd seasonings at all and partially also I am against giving any seasonings to Damien at the moment yet.
Ya. hope he can recovers soon too. nw his temp is building up.

Cheri,

[lindachang]

[corynn]

Val,
Damien is very pity. Need to take many med with different frequency.

Dolly,
Quick plan for 2nd one. Aim for girl girl.

Ting,
Actually Shaine don’t like car seat. Except this new car seat she change her mind. Ha ha.

Cheri,
Thank you for the compliment.

Val,
