morning! cold and wet morning, shd be in bed instead of office...

olwen
V's not such a good traveller. the port dickson and GC trips were quite a nightmare for us all, hahaha.
no lah i dun think anyone's ungrateful. if so then im guilty too, cos im always speaking to my dad in a harsh tone too, last time my sis kena too. but in recent years i hv always reminded myself to change, to treasure them and they are nice to me, perhaps getting old liao so trying to curb my bad temper too :p
next time try the mega mall area, nicer shopping than nagoya i think. and mega mall is nearer to the ferry terminal.

lian
japan trip again soon?
 
ah jes: i also say! she just come back from japan not long then want to go again.

where is mega mall ah? i only went to BCS.

ah lian: try batam first lah
happy.gif


ah haru: aiyo, in her knickers sounds really awful. i not so ambitious. i always put R in pull ups when going out. on the saturday we were in batam, she wore the same pull up for almost 7 hours. not bad.

well, i'm at home & on leave today cos it's my kids' birthday! celebrated in school this morning. had a row with my mother last night over this birthday thing. haiz. i give myself one more year to live with her then i really have to chase her out otherwise i go mad.
 
happy birthday to ah wen's previous 3!

ah jes, hehe.. just dreaming of going again lah. its gonna be too cold to go during end of year
 
ah wen, sorry leh.. my last japan trip was 13 months ago liao le. :p
I check free & easy package to japan, so expensive
sad.gif
4D3N cost $1500. Imagine i bring my mum and K along
 
Olwen: yup her hair always the 1st thing pple will mention!
And Happy Birthday to your kiddos
happy.gif


Planning for G's too, though don't feel like it at times esp when his royal highness threw major tantrums like this morn
sad.gif


Lian: Hee our Japan trip so long again eh :p yeah exp if bring more family members!
Me thinking of Royal Carribean with the whole family in tow - shld be more hassle free.. Anyone been??
 
Glad:
Heehee, I am also considering cruise. Looking through Star Cruise and Royal Carribean. Royal Carribean seems more attractive coz they got baby & kids activities like face painting, etc.
 
Hi Mummies,

ho bo?

Can I ask mummies who are familiar with HK, anyone has advice/comments regarding day trip to Macau? Is it worth going if I'm not keen on any casinos at all? Which is a better ferry terminal to take ferry from? Any die-die must try makan places in HK? What's their Dec weather like? Thanks.

This will be my first time to HK. The best part is, the trip is without hb and kids!! I just can't wait!!
 
morning!! another cold wet morning.

olwen
happy birthday to yr 3 kiddos! time flies!
mega mall is quite near the ferry terminal if not wrong. that area is called "waterfront". i rem staying there for 1 of our trips there. and mega mall is quite good for shopping, but that was a few years back, dun know got massive change anot.

lian
wow yr japan trip got so long liao?! seems like recent only, haha. time for another trip! but not end year lor, to me year end do trip most bo hua, everywhere is ex due to hols, then no good place to go, go west side its wet and cold, go down aussie side its damn hot.
 
Lian,
I'm very fang xin to leave them to hb, but my A is very worried. She scared of papa who has no tolerance for kids' nonsense. 1 day ok, but 4 days with papa is almost unthinkable. My girls are close to me, but not sticky. When I'm out of their sight, I'm out of their mind, especially N.

ya, take all opportunities to travel during off-peak before your kiddos start P1.
 
Olwen: Really not easy living with them..how come can quarrel over bday in school..?

My MIL a lot of comments one! Cannot tahan! Really loon man...but she also super nice to come and help out..so really compromise wor..

How did u celebrate? I also planning to celebrate in school with some goodie bag stuff and cake...

Happy Birthday

to your three children! Lucky you! Can relax a bit liao...i still long way to go...*grin*
 
fifi: i heard good review on caribbean compared to star cruises

they said:

- food nicer, mostly western
- free ice cream and pizza all day (star cruise must pay)
- kids activities, rock climbing etc
- more systematic compared to star cruises very LUAN..people all kiasu wanna Q in front, caribbean dun have such thing happening.

I will also consider next time my younger ones turn 2..
 
Hi mummies,

i have this local aunty to do cleaning for me. she is a nice lady. PM if u r looking for local PT cleaner. she prefer to work ard Bedok, Sengkang or Puggol area.
happy.gif
 
ello aly_nat, haven't seen u for some time. enjoy ur trip! wonder whether aly will remember me next time i c her. u guys going anyway this hols? if u got any time to spare, can we have a play date in nov/dec?

ah soho: my mother got angry cos i didn't "invite" her to cut cake at my MIL's house. in the end, whole family stay at home to cut cake just to appease her. i really donno what to say lor.

ah fifi: if u go royal caribben, u review here for us hor. i brot kai on star cruise when he was 4 or 5. ship is v nice but warraoz, really really really a lot of ah neh.

ah glad_gal & all: thanks for birthday wishes. think bbzel is celebrating this weekend too. hope she doesn't suddenly go into labour. then next week is chilli padi's emma. gosh, doesn't it make u all think of the days when we were giving birth all around this time?

ah lian: my old boss (the one who is now transferred to london office) says next year will be good to go japan. water & air will be clean by then.

ah nut: wah sei, lucky nini. i also going china next month but only bringing kai. i told my husband this is the last trip we go without the other 3. so unfair to them.
 
Hi OLwen,
Yes, A remembers you as that Aunty with triplets
happy.gif
. I'll be away from mid nov to mid Dec. Let's see if we can plan something before X'mas?

I suppose come next Dec, Kai will be too busy with his PSLE preparations to be able to go away, isn't it
sad.gif
 
My kiddo has started preschool and has been getting sick every week for the past month since school has started.

Should I convert my kid to half day ? Is half day less vulnerable to get sick?

How to overcome getting sick so easily..?

Olwen: wow she like empress dowager wor...
 
soho, from my experience, it doesn't help much by converting to half day

ah olwen, dunno if i can still go jia hong nxt year anot...
 
Jes, r u the 1 whom bought the bookshelves from the BP thread some months ago & i asked u abt the quality?

How much did u pay for them?

Another BP seller selling now, $245 for a shelf, wonder is it more ex?
 
lilian: ok thanks..
happy.gif


My kiddo has been having fever going off and coming back again...and had flu wonder whats wrong fever medicine also cant get it off
 
morning!!

alynat
so envy u! recently my friend jio-ed me go for ladies trip too, but i turned down cos i know my hub will not be able to manage V. and i feel bad having to impose on MIL for weekend too as she's already looking after V for weekdays.
sad.gif


oh ya, our kiddos birthday this month and next. jus wanna alert u ladies if you are thinking of catering buffet, please DO NOT cater from KCK!!! sucks to the max! my office catered lunch from them last week and many of us kena food poisoning after eating their food!

JJmom
hehe, not me leh. was it 3Jems?
 
ah lian
thanks for the recommendation. we'll probably monitor her for a little while more before deciding if we shd take her for a check.
we noticed it recently only. wondering if it's just a bad habit or really on the verge of becoming short sighted, cos she watches TV too much, and alot of times, watching in lying down position. haiz.
 
ah jes, yah, monitor for a while more
Only specialist is allowed to 配眼镜 to children under 7. So don't need waste your time going to neighborhood spec shop. Thats what my PD told me. K has been to this specialist clinic b4, they have nice staff and price reasonable
 
jes: I ordered from them before also the high tea was horrendous.

Lilian: about 3 weeks oredi..everyday sick..get well bring school sick again so now take one week totally off from school. as advised by doc..to fully recover..

Mine earleir fever was like 38.5, 39 degrees...now better..37.3-37.5 type..v. frustrating.
 
soho, yes let them fully recover before returning to school. The first bout of fever that hit my gal after attending school reached 40.1deg. Tat one was a nightmare.
Don't worry, they will get stronger as they grow. Just make sure your 2 younger kids do not get infected by t virus
 
ah lian: me back - weekend post. but er, everybody else MIA too.

eh, next year cannot go travelling, means u got good news for us izzit?
happy.gif


i just heard a piece of good news from one mummy on monday, she already planning holiday next year end for her kids, including the unborn one.

ah aly_nat: wah, 1 month away! won't u miss ur darlings? i'm going china again. same as ah nut - shanghai. but still only bringing kai. v annoyed with my husband - always likes to go overseas & enjoy without bringing his kids.

ah soho: give her sambucol to build up immunity? ya, my dad calls her the korean empress. & R is korean princess.
 
oh ya! forgot something. i got 3 Gain IQ Kid vouchers & 1 Enfa voucher to give away. if any of u got friso vouchers, welcome to pass to me as well
happy.gif
pls sms me, whoever wants.
 
Olwen,
no lah, I'm going back to Perth for 3 weeks with kids and hb in tow. Then 4 days in hk with my galfren
happy.gif
Gotta be back by mid Dec to celebrate my girls' birthday, and get A back to study-mode. Hosting some overseas visitors from X'mas to New Year. Busy, busy, busy. We try and find a window of time to meet, k?
 
Soho: Hope your kid recover soon! Soon she will build up her immunity...

Fifi: Hehe will wait for your review then
happy.gif


Qn: For those celebrating bdays in cc/schs, did you get separate goodie bags/presents for teachers?? Coz the goodie bags for kids are too kidish for them right??

yes brought V along. didn't shop much as u can imagine, tough to when u hv to bring a small kid around. oso not much sales going on so things are not exactly cheap. ate lots though.

lian
polar got Tom & Jerry! but not many selections. the baby tom & jerry cakes look more cute.
ya i think i will just get a 1kg cake for the CC celebration, afterall they are all kids they wont be able to eat much oso.

But for the past wks and now, i m feeling rather sick n weak. So much worse than K's time. old liao
 
btw, the cartoon polar cakes shd be printed wan. i bought their small cakes before and they were done this way so supposed same with big cakes too.
