dazed: ya.. true but i do hope they will postpone the schedule due to festive seasons lor. c if i can call them n check. haha
Dazed: Huh? They charge RM50 for playpen? I probably need 2 (for Yen & my niece)!
Yes, there is 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom & 4-bedroom units. I think 4-bedroom is RM720, plus festive season surcharge. & strange, they told me b'fast is RM15, 50% for children 6-12.
How many toilets are there in your 2-bedroom unit? We prefer to all stay together in a bigger unit, but if there is only 1 or 2 toilets, can imagine what a nightmare for so many pp & the amount of time needed for all to get ready!
I dun think we will cook (since only staying 1 night), but the microwave would be good for heating up baby food, etc.
Is the food served at the restaurant tasty? We will probably take dinner out. Every CNY my family goes to Desaru, Pengaran for the butter lobsters. The price has gone up over the years, but still much cheaper than in Sg & we just love their butter lobsters. Before the kids came, we used to drive up at least once a month to eat it! But with the many lil ones, very difficult... so now only during special occasions.
Then of course we are bringing the kids to play with fireworks. It's an experience no longer available in Sg. Hee hee... they probably just cower in fear of the noise.

emq, 2 bedroom got 2 toilets. yah lor, we were surprised to that they charge... anyway, the place is very new, and staff are pretty inexperienced. for mine, they din charge cos they forgot to tell us when we request. subsequently, they called us to inform us only after they brought up and fixed up the playyard, and my dad told them they are free to bring back... and they din charge us lor... hehe...
if 1 night then you can't us my coupon liao, cos mine is 2 nights. yah, can drive up to pengarang for seafood. i dun think can play fireworks there though. the security is quite strict!

JH had fun playing with the sand! and this little fella saw the sea waves and immediately crawlled towards the water, like a new born turtle like that!
dazed: i not worry about the routes there...my hubby sure know how to drive one. i just scared nothing to do there lor...well...beachplay is not my interest....perhaps kyler only..

jan: IFC will fall sick quite easily. But overall i think quite ok, my boy started walking at 9 months, cos his teachers always encourage him to walk. But importantly the ratio, mine is still one is to 2, i hope will remain like this till he go to playgroup 
Oh ya, ifc baby mummies, for your baby first birthday, will you be buying a cake and giving small presents to the other babies? My hubby seems very eager to do it, cos we receive presents from other babie's on their birthday.

janjan: wow, i seriously think ur mum is overloaded too! even in IFC also, one teacher to 5 kids. your mum is 6 kids leh!!! but actually hor, your SIL not working why she dun wan to at least help out in taking care of 1 kid, instead of throwing all 3 to your mum. if wan to say irresponsible, i think she more leh...
ni: usually she put 2 only. the youngest she look after. but tdy she want to go out, so gg to tompang all here.
ystdy my lil assistant very disappointed. so i told my sil maybe next week we bring her and the middle girl go taka lah. then my mum say she canno handle shyan and baby. so i suggest to her she bring her baby, so leave shyan w mum. see lah.. i think i too nice leh... volunteer to drive her and the 3 kiddos there. means i gotta help her see the older ones. and poor shyan cannot go...
my sil i also dunno wat to say. think she also stress.. 24hours with the baby.. can be very tiring and frustrasting lor. so once in a while some me-time for her should be ok ba

Ashley: Desaru quite easy. I'm not for driving into M'sia these days, after all those reports. But if travelling in a bigger group, I'm fine with Melaka, Desaru, JB. Signs are quite easy to follow. But for starters, would be good to travel with pp who have been there. Or use GPS? I've not tried using GPS in m'sia though.
As for Christmas meal, it all depends on what you like. I dun think there is a need to serve traditional Xmas dishes, since we are not 'ang mo' & it's not exactly our culture. We like to go for a cross, providing a range that is suitable for 'old' asian paletes too.. but the old folks at home have learnt to take turkey & ham la.. you can serve pasta, salad, bread pudding, fruit cake, roast chicken for the more 'traditional' dishes or go asian with stuffs like curry chicken/pork ribs, popiah, mee siam, bee hoon, nuggets, sushi, sandwiches, etc.

Jan: With so many children at home, we need to burn off their energy. If possible, can consider bringing them downstairs to play? Sometimes, I just lug all to the library, or bookshop, better still, toys r us! They'd have a good time playing with the toys, 'running' around, burning off all their excess energy.. after that, when all are tired, feed them, then bring them home to ZZzzzzzzz... try it, I find super effective... hahaha...
A bit more tiring for us (than if we stay home), but definitely saner & when they all knock out, we can have our bit of rest too...
Yesterday, I lug kids & PILs to the zoo from 10am-6pm. Got home, FIL & maid cooked dinner while MIL & I minded the kids. We expected the kids to kong out, but strangely, after a short rest & dinner, all 3 were up & about again... but by 9+/10, all kong out till this morning 8am! Shiok lor... cos my kids never turn in before mid-night one... hahaha...

Dazed: Lotus seems quite nice... no worries about the coupons. We still need to do the customary visiting on the 1st day, so can only go on the 2nd-3rd day since resume work on 4th day, so can only stay for a night.
Cannot play fireworks in the resort itself (not safe), gotta go to the beach. So it's either beach of the resort (if there are pp doing it) or drive out to 'no man's land' part of the beach. During their festive season, sure got pp let off fireworks, just need to see where they are doing it... hee hee...
I dunno la, my dad has his contacts... will also need to call them early to get them to help purchase the fireworks 1st...

Jan: Yup, nice weather to sleep... & after you are refreshed, you'd be in a better frame to go play with the kids. Actually, the girls are all very big liao, can do more structured stuff with them. Get them some fun IQ booklets that they can challenge against one another (5, 6, 9 can do this), some colouring booklets for (Shyan, 3, 5 & 6)..
Can also bake cookies with them (but must make sure the older ones help to clean up), if u have an oven. Or buy ready made cookies, run over to Phoon Huat (near bus interchange) to get icing & get them to decorate. This can use up half an afternoon. After that, make them nice milo & have a hi-tea at home...
When we have more structured activities, the kids are more likely to cooperate and we dun get driven up the walls... hahaha...
The 5, 6 & 9 can do cross-stitch - I like cos once they are hooked, they will be very quite for an afternoon, trying to complete their master pieces...
My girls are resting now, once they up, will have to get my butt moving.. I think the older ones at your side are easier to handle lor.. I'm so worn out by my #2 & #3, so active... but #2 is beginning to settle down much more... think she's growing up liao...

emq: thanks for the suggestions. they are not my kids, so i cannot be bothered. haha. i tot of taking shyan to the library also.. got story telling at 7pm every evening. but dunno if she can guai guai sit still or not.
i only concern that my mum so stress and black face hor, wait shyan learn from her, next time always black face also. and my parents like to say in front of my niece bad things abt their mother. i feel that is very bad also. i always stop them then they not happy. as for the other 2 girls, they are my nieghbours girls, so i dun care the least abt them. haha
having said that, one thing good abt my mum is, all kids MUST nap in the afternoon. like it or not, she has a way to make them all sleep.. irregardless of age. in that way, she get some peace also
u notice i only bring shyan or one of my nieces out.. this is to lighten mums load and also to make sure shyan doesn't catch their 'virus'
