Zen

congrats! Maybe someone cancelled booking last minute. What u wanna do there? How many days? If it's your first time there, u can go asakusa area. If u are there over a sun, go to shibuya. That's where u see the funnily dressed pp. Head over to Meiji shrine nearby and u can see wedding couples in trad gear. But u attending a friend's wedding so should be able to see already.

There's a Tokyo metropolitan children's hall near shibuya. It's free and there are lots of playstuff and indoor playground for children. It's separated by age groups so u can be assured your kid who be trampled over by older kids.
 
Re controllers: Even if we dont let them play with the controllers, they'll still spot it some how. For me, she see us using it to change channels so now she also learn liao. Wires wise we def never intro to her but she still saw it and wanna explore on her own..

jr is the main railway company. They operate the shinkansens, some subway lines and buses. It's a brand much like the smrt and sbs. The subways are operated by smaller players and are localized in the region. Eg, Tokyo has some subway operators like metro, eidan etc. Then in Kyoto, there's another set of subways. Understand?
 
Mashy,
so we can take subway from JR station as well? for the tickets gotta buy separately from diff provider or ?? sorry i see the line v confusin...
 
Piggy

yes. So no point buying those passes if it doesn't cover all lines. Get a suica pass instead. U can get it with the narita express at a special price. It's like our ezlink card, no need to keep buying tix, just top up whenever it's finishing. So when u buy those special passes for any region, be sure it covers the lines that u wanna take. I think there is one greater Tokyo one that covers all subways too but from travel experience, I feel Bo hua. Coz we dun take the transport that often. U can do a rough calcution of your transport costs online.
 
Piggy

for the 1st question, The answer is no. They have diiferent stations for subways and jr. But they may be located near each other. However u need to exit and enter new ticket gates.

Oh joeey i cant make it for the zoo liao, forgot i had a prior engagement.. So sad cant join..
 
Mashy,
thanks.. cos now i am tinkin whether to take the Limousine bus for 3000 yen for 85min or the express for 3110yen for 60 min..dunno which is more comfy with a toddler.. ok will check out thanks ya..
 
babyS,
oh , you can't go to zoo this friday, it's ok, we'll meet another time.
happy.gif


mashy,
winter clothes can borrow other mummies or just get a jacket from fox/mothercare and thick pants from GAP/Old Navy. maybe other mummies got better ideas
happy.gif
 
mashy
whahhaa u sounds dso much like expert for japan oredi
happy.gif
.. next time, if i ever go there.. w my kids.. must consult u
happy.gif


why not, u blog it down. so that dun have to keep repeating kekeke
 
Piggy

personally, I feel that the express will be more comfy for kids. Coz they can walk around and there's a toilet in the train. Hahaha. I can't imagine my boy sitting in a bus that long and not whining.

Smurfy
hahaha, no la, it's just that I travelled there before and with my boy so did a lot of research last time esp for places suitable for kids.
 
Mashy,
hahah tt y i haven confirm cos i was thinkin train faster also but HB thot bus more comfy haha but since the package of suica n Nex is so cheap most prob will jus take train.
 
Joeey

thanks! Fox is only selling a padded vest.
sad.gif
hopefully they'll intro more new clothes later. Mothercare dun have her size for the jacket.
sad.gif
will just keep going there to see.

Btw, I realize that the mothercare in kkh sells the clothes cheaper than their other stores. And they have a huge section selling clearance stock. U can check it out when any of u are there.
 
Good morning!

have you all tried buying FM in different packaging?
The first time I bought Mamil Gold 1.6kg tin and my boy is ok with it, then I bought the 700g pack recently and it seems like he is rejecting it leh... I thought its the same just packed differently...
~haiz~ or is it take my boy is plain fussy!

IFC use 1.6kg tin.. at home, i try 400g n 800g one..

now i use the 800g tin, n buy those 700g refill pack.. pour in when finish..

Smurfy

I also not rich. Just wanna go before I work again next year. Yes I'm going back to work coz too poor. If we keep postponing hols, we may end up too old for anything. I dun wanna go only when I can't walk.
 
smurfy,

Haha .. i thot abt ordering room service too during my staycation. But hor, it's so expensive! $28 for a bowl of congee leh.
 
pegsfur
ur staycation where and when? i no choice leh.. i cannot let go leh.. on outside food for her.. whahaha .. if i got maid now hor, my staycation i sure make hb drive home n get her hot food every meal whahahhaha. tat time i bring my #1 cameron,melaka,kl hor, at 1.8yrs old, i still bring slow cooker and fresh vegetables leh kekeke
 
smurfy,

We went Meritus Mandarin last weekend
happy.gif
How abt the pigeon instant porridge? I brought that and let ovann have it for his lunch & dinner. That shld be better than outside food?
 
Pegsfur

actually the pigeon food has salt too. U try tasting it. I think no diff to eat outside food. Actually, why aren't u letting him eat outside food? He's already 1 yr old. How long do u intend to keep up with this? Sorry, I'm not trying to be meddlesome. Just that after my boy's case, I think it may not be a bad idea to intro them to all kinds of food and let them like to eat. Even tasting is good for them.
 
smurfy,

It's actually ready-to-eat.. u just need to heat it up. Dump the packet into hot water to warm up can liao. But i suggest u buy 1 box to let yr gal try first, in case she doesn't like the taste.

Btw, the rice is a little sticky, dunno if it's becos they use jap rice? I just add in a little hot water and stir b4 i feed ovann. They hv quite a few varieties, for 7mths, 9mths & 12mths de.
 
mashy,

U made me scratch my head ... was wondering why u said i nvr let my boy eat outside food when i did .. hahaha ... Ok, wrong addressee.
 
mashy..

hmmm.. different ppl different strokes lar.. i just cannot let go lor.. food tasting is great.. but full meals i am not yet ready..

maybe different things happened to ur boy n my boy when they r younger lor? he's very much into organic vege/fruits when he was younger.... of coz got other variety not whole diet is organic lar (meat cannot find, egg is like so expensive)...but then he grew up well n healthy.. seldom sick as well, even if sick, recovery period quite fast n such lor.. now he's a junk eater as well.. but me n hb just tot at least he got his foundation well..anyway different strokes for different ppl
 
pegsfur
kekeke i think i stick to hotel in-room dining..

u had fun at ur staycation or still stressful? what u did? got pics to share????????????????
 
Smurfy

I guess you are right about different pp different strokes. My boy kept falling sick despite a home diet when he was young. My gal eats everything but so much stronger than him. Also self recover without needing meds. So I doubt it's the food that causes them to be strong or weak.
 
mashy
yah.. what went wrong with our #1 we usually dun wanna repeat for #2..

so horrrrrrrrrrrrrr #2 is like a poor lil thing.. last time my #1 given all freedom in the world, no controls, no restriction n is like protected species, so now spoilt rotten and dependant on us .. #2 everything controlled from day 1 (Everything oso no no no kekekee) but got the chance to explore on her own..

i am sooo sooo happy to see the development of #2 kekekee
 
afternoon ladies!
happy.gif


finally free to come in.
happy.gif


piggy,
sunroute still have rooms. think u remember wrongly like you said. this hotel also hv quite good reviews. was one of my choice but i prefer to stay in ikebukuro. but after comparing prices, we decided to stay in sunroute. hope it doesn't disappoint me. haha!

mashy,
this is not my first trip to japan. this trip is more for bringin my boy around & a time for me to relax. (hopefully). pls share with us where to bring kids too since you've done yr research.
happy.gif
i'm too lazy & no time to go research. last time only hb & i, so we can just go & walk anyway we like. oh, if u managed to find some not too expensive winter wear, do let me know. i also thinking what clothes to bring for my boy. most likely, will need to buy a jacket & just layer him up.
 


wat abt shoes? are you ladies letting them wear normal boots? i saw the boots tat kiki posted. very nice & cute! wondering if it's too exaggerating for my boy to wear tat when we go japan. haha!

smurfy,
we're not rich lah. tats y have to keep looking around for good deals. moreover my hb going to start studying again, so dunno when we can go holiday again.

fatbobo,
dun bring yr helpers along lah. just yr hb, u & yr 2 gals. cheaper this way.
