I think between sq and delta, sq better coz more earthly hours. The delta departure is in the early morning, meaning u need u wake up at 3am to get to the airport. We did this nearly 3 yrs ago with my elder boy. Tired like siao.

 

[celyw]

i think ours sold out too...because the seller did not call or email me at all

 

[mashybrainz]

Piggy

yes. But gotta take keisei line. There's a new train and it takes only 35mins to narita.

If u stay at ikebukuro, then gotta take narita express. More ex and longer. But there's a special pass now so it's still quite reasonable.

I'm stopping over in hk with Cathay pacific too. Cheap lah.

 

[celyw]

yap confirmed, I pm the seller and she replied its completely SOLD OUT.

[piggytoh]

Dolce,
no la not ur fault cos i thot alr promise Celine who know like tt poor coordination of the seller too... nvm

Mashy,
btw the cathay promo depart not Narita airport rite?

 

[mashybrainz]

Piggy

should take train. More spacious for your boy to walk around and it's a short distance only. But hor Osaka to Tokyo very popular now. If u wanna do that better book air tix and hotel early.

 

[mashybrainz]

Piggy

it's still narita. For me ok coz I'm taking jr east pass then can use the narita express.

 

[mashybrainz]

Oh ya, Osaka just go and eat la. Nothing much to see. Go to nearby Kyoto, himeiji and Nara. They are beautiful. Your kids can feed the deers at the Nara park.

 

[piggytoh]

Mashy,
ya lo so tryin to finalise the itinery if air tix n hotel out den bobian mus chose HK liao..

 

[mashybrainz]

Piggy

be like me la. Travel up north. Hotels are cheaper and less crowded.

now jr east 3 day pass 10k yen only.

 

[shanghaibb]

~hee~
we just decided to go Hokkaido.

going to take the package tour coz I refuse to plan anymore!

bobo/Sharon
Me and HB only meet once a month and can also argue like mad! Most of the time is argue across the IDD call lor... ~haiz~

 

[donkeymami]

Busy at work!

Zen, i booked direct from website too.

MAshy, i stay in Ikebukuro so i better take narita express to airport? or take bus better? any other option?

 

[donkeymami]

Kiki, wow! when r u gng? in time to see foliage?

 

[donkeymami]

Mashy, the JR east pass is cheap...JR nationwide pass 23800yen le..SGD$450

 

[donkeymami]

Sorry it's 28300..SGD450 per pass..2 passes alr $900.

 

[mashybrainz]

Donkeymani

yup, it's cheap. Is there a shuttle bus? One thing abt bus is can be caught in jam. It's very near the station, so u can actually take train. But ikebukuro to narita has limited trips a day. U better check and book when u r there.

 

[donkeymami]

Mashy, i see..i'm taking evening flight back hv to go airport ard 3pm.

 

[piggytoh]

mashy,
sorry my geography is v poor which area is north??

[shanghaibb]

Hi,

Like I've mentioned, there's no way at all for reservation due to storage issue. That's why those who eml or PM me or sms me for "wld like to collect on so &amp; so day" won't get a reply fm me coz' I'm able to reply onli when I've "indent" the order to cheese Supplier on the "day of intended collection" itself ....

 

[mashybrainz]

Kiki

wow! Early oct can see autumn leaves there!

 

[piggytoh]

Kiki,
i joined CTC Japan tour be4 cos their itinerary is more to my liking..service quite ok but i tink SA TOur is more special for Japan tour

i heard many -ve feedback for Chan Brothers so i wun encourage u to join la..

 

[piggytoh]

Celine,
not ur fault la.. hope we have better luck nex time

 

[dolcevita]

If any of you gals like Super Hero Tee, the shop at Bugis is having storewide sales up to 80% !!
Ive bought a couple of Tees for myself @ $9.00 each only !
Quite good deal, they have Tees for both ladies and men...

 

[donkeymami]

Kiki, how the agency charge tour package for Kiiron?

 

[jumbobo]

can i still turn up to pick up Mattea's &amp; Keona's cupcakes tomorrow?

 

[shanghaibb]

donkeymami
so far different agency quoted different amt but all about $300+

 

[babys]

bobo: actually if mattea is fine tmrw, just bring her along bah?

 

[shanghaibb]

I will bring my own USB drive to copy the pics tmr. Should be faster to copy over and can save 1 disc and the environment.

 

[donkeymami]

fatbobo,so u cfm not coming tmr? I thk many mummies stay near west so u can collect from them later. Of cos, we hope you &amp; ur twins can turn up for the bash tmr. Prays mattea &amp; keona will be recover for tmr bash

 

[donkeymami]

Kiki, so tat's quite reasonable..they r charging based on infant tix too.

 

[shanghaibb]

bobo
pop by after your lunch lah with both your darlings...

My boy is also crying suddenly until I have no tricks but to give the teething tablets! He stopped crying almost immediately...
Strange lah... old baby already still like that...
~haiz~

 

[babys]

bobo: yeah lor.... ur lunch cannot be from 1- 5pm right..

[piggytoh]

Stupid mr forgt I haven apply passport for Kyler any1 know long it takes?

 

[babyjon]

hi all, any list for what to prepare for baby on an winter trip. we going aus next week,n temp is ard 10 or below.

tmr bash: mayb cant make it.. hope later hub can gv me an answer.

 

[cloudme]

piggy,
it will take approx abt 1 to 3days...

 

[piggytoh]

Cloudme,
u mean apply via online?

btw any1 know for infant air tix do i need their passport expiry date to book?

 

[shanghaibb]

piggy
airline allow you to add infant tic after you booked the adult one. So you can book yours first to ensure the price, then call to add kyler's when he got his passport. You will need his passport no. to book anyway
Call to ask the airline first loh

 

[shanghaibb]

Vivien
for winter, you will need thick pants, thick jacket, long inner wear, hat that cover the ears, thick socks, gloves... I think face&amp;lip cream are quite important.

one tip that I found out is that you can feel their back with your hand to check if they are under or over dressed.

can fill up an empty bottle with warm water and wrap with towel to let bb hold if its really cold.

 

[piggytoh]

Kiki,
thanks... btw any idea if we can check in whole tin of milk powder???

 

[babyjon]

bb winter clothers:
searching in taobao now.. haiz.. hope enough time to buy...

tmr bash: hub agree can go le.. he suddenly come back from oversea last night...

 

[babyjon]

check in milk powder ,i done so for trip to china no problem..
other countries not sure le.. oh dear going aus next week n new zld on cny.. if cant bring milk powder then will be a big problem!!

previous trip to shanghai, run out of powder,luckily can find enfar, but was so afraid as many news of poison case!!

 

[~mimosa~]

kikilala,

[jul_04]
