(hehe.. just kidding)

Ainsley,
Thx for all the efforts. I'll FT to you once the $$ is out.
 
Luwen, babies can cont to stay after the party. Gt free pass for every paying kids. For cakes, I hvnt go n see the one sera recommend. Bt if v ex, then stick to pg cos I think it's parents who will b eating afterall. Lol

Akk, I told them tat we will hv our own balloon sculpurist. They r ok. So can u reach at 2pm or earlier? Cos games will start at ard 2.30pm.

As for the sibling using the free pass, let me ask them again. So those babies with siblings can use their pass.
 
As for presents, I think will leave to individual to get on their own. I believe all mummies/daddies put in their effort in choosing the gift. It's the thoughts tat counts mah. =) bt we keep it below $30 ya. N will b in lucky draw form.

Itinerary for the party;

2pm - arrivals of guests
2.30pm - games ( with parent participation)
3.15pm - cake cutting
After 3.15pm - chit chat n mum mum time! babies can oso go n play ard at toddler area.
4pm - party ends

As for those with siblings, pls oso cfm their attendance. Tot of giving small party packs so tat they hv something to brg home as well. (siblings tend to get jealous of their baby sister/brothers.. Heehee)
 
Hi Ainsley, our attendance confirm me + bb astri + hubby + gor got Xavier if every thing is fine . Touch wood....

Anny, ya. Was me.. U were at the toddler area? Hw u find tat Plc? My Phoebe enjoyed herself alot. Played when I was discussing with the personnel till she sweat so much. Lol
 
Anny, Phoebe was enjoying bt my nn ah, v timid now. I Wana put her at the toddler area to play with daddy n jiejie while waiting for me bt she refused n clung to me. Tats y I think u saw me carrying nn while talking to the personnel. Lol. Nn really ah.. Duno hw to describe her. A shy fierce girl. Lol
 
Haa ains I meant they got let ur phoebe play free anot. Haa.. Anyway the games will b some sing-a-long at their dunno what rainbow land.. I was trying to get that staff to give us free game prizes plus gifts for all the birthday babies but she say sing-a-long no prizes. Haa..

Morning Mummies/Daddies..

Errr... hope all don't mind me kaypoing hor.. for the pressie thingy.. think is better to set a range.. ie. $20-$30/- instead of less than $30.. so that everyone is getting about the same value..

Hi mummies, finally have time for a breather from work.

Hi AKK, what is that? Is it to teach our babies how to address correctly the 'whos' in the family?

Hey Roxy/ Weiting:
My heart goes out to you and your little angels. Take care and will continue pray for your babies.

Hi Ainsley: Thank you for all the effort in organising the birthday bash. I confirm our attendance (Faith, me and Daddy Julian)
Im looking forward to this party as well. It would be our first time to Polliwog.

Is there anything I can do to help for the bash?
In case i miss any posting in this thread, just drop me a line in my facebook yah?
(but i try my best to visit once each day to catch up) =)

Have a nice week ahead, daddies and mummies.

cheers, 1 x mummy
 
Sandy,
ya, those 表哥表弟堂姐堂妹 shld be straight forward and easy, they will get it when they grow older.

but I am stumped how our akk shld address our families/relatives at 1 level down.
e.g.
my 爸爸 = his 爷爷
my 姐姐 = his 姑姑
:
above r straightforward ones that I can figure out easily,
chim ones are:
my 表姊 = his ? (I figured out its 表姨)
then there's my dad's side 堂, mum's side 表,
my wife's dad's side 堂, mum's side 表,
how come got 堂姑 堂姨 when 姑 shld be dad's side and 姨 shld be mum's side.

so I thought a picture might help me to understand.

I'll faint more often if it goes down to our akk's next generation.
 
ains they where got lugi? the complimentary one month pass for bday child change to 30 day passes for all babies.. even better for their biz! hahaa.. oh sorry yesterday i KO w reyes.. i can go see now.. hmm how big a cake do we need? 3.5 kg?
 
Hi AKK,
i see.. yes i can see this challenge ahead for us too.
So far, we have intro Faith to her dad's side.
Meaning, we address as "xiao gu" and Faith will address as "xiao-gu-pos", "shu-gong", "da-yi-po"
For my side, Faith only has one 'jiu jiu'.

I dunno how to intro her to my dad's side where there is SO many ppl, that I myself have lost track of the 'rankings' and we are not practising the traditional way of addressing the rank anymore. i only practised until er-gu (my dad's elder sister).
The rest are too confusing.. becos of the ranks....and it did not helped that my dad got married late.
So, my "same-rank" relatives are so much older than me. They have kids my age!

They are the "ang moh -pai" one, so we just call each other aunty Jean, Uncle Max...regardless of 'status'.
So i guess Faith is also going to call them the same............
Haha and Haiz..
Sad to say no one kept the tradition going..
 
Wah... So many post to catch up.. Me bz surfing for party stuff.. Hah..
Ern, abt the bday bash, need me to help anything? Let me know..
Abt the cake- think dun really need so big if attendance nt gg to be cfm as yet.. Eat too much cake very gerlak n fattening!! Haha..

Ains- u cfm w polliwogs on hw many ppl?
The cupcake divinity I enquire w her on her charges, not very ex lei.. For 60pax she quote me less than $300 only.
I think we can chk w her abt our cake..
She stay near my plc, if need so, I can self collect from her..

shokel, you help me ask them if they can make the theme "little twin star"? we need a cake for both boys and girls so I think little twin star not a bad idea. hehe..

Pine garden will be about $150 for 3kg..
 
Ling Lee.. replied you..

AKK.. errr... how often will you meet these far distance relatives..

For Chinese, as long as different surname. will be 'yi' and 'biao'..

Same surname will be 'gu' and 'tang'
 
1xMummy,
Ya quite challenging now, and sometimes I would pause for a sec (many in fact) when I was trying to tell our akk that "hey, this is your xxx xxx and that's xx xx calling you"...

I'll ask around my frens also, and will share around if I managed to find something really easy to follow.



Re: Cakes
I came across this shop at Suntec just now.
www.designerbakes.com
Quite interesting. But I don't think it's cheap by looking at the detail and effort put in.
 
Sandy,
Not often but I'll have to start introducing in 3-4 mths time (CNY). Will be quite pai seh if the daddy don't even know how to address in the first place. hehe..
Oh, the surname is a good tip. Thanks!
happy.gif
 
akk - wow u v cute and traditional. even go lookup on this
happy.gif


I just ask my boy to call all aunties/uncles for "distance relatives". immeidate ones or ones i know - then ask him to call accordingly! :p
 
Luwen, hmm.. Tats ex.. U enquire abt 3kg? 3kg will b for abt 50pax. Shd b enuff le bah. Cos nt all daddies come mah. Then babies dun really eat the cake oso..
 
Happymummy: haha, maybe shichida helps. She said 'bye-bye' after each activity and the tcher was so impressed. Yup, I bought the flashcards from shichida. She likes certain flashcards subjects too, when we practice at home, she will make sounds at those cards that she likes....
 
Mummies/akk: need advice on what music to play during the 1st bday party. R u all playing kids music? or normal music like michael buble? haha. I thought of repeating nursary rhymes but think my guest will find it sianz....
 
Ainsley, really appreciate the effort u've put in to organize the bday bash. Thank youuuuu! =D I'm so looking forward to the party!

Shokel, i wanna tag along ur order! Do u know if the price stated in their website is in sing $$? How much is the shipping?

Teething: Shay's third pealie can be seen liao. One by one again?!! Sian! She didnt nap the whole day today. Help!!!!
 
Ains:
3kg $150 for PG little twin stars ar? Is 3kg too big? Cos I think we only got less than 50pax.. Later last min alot cannot make it, abit wasted... Cos cake can cut smaller slice.. Hehee Haha..

Okok, I ask them..
But I think nt as cheap as PG. Lol
 
shokel, pg duno gt little twin star ant. But 3kg is ok I think. My friend's baby party got 3 kg.. somemore we still have some little siblings. can let them eat.

As for confirmation. Best is confirm early then know how much to divide for each person.
 
Ains/Shokel: PG cakes is still cheaper than cupcakedivity coz I enquired before for sophie's cake. End up I chose cupcake divinity coz they use fondant instead of cream. I dont like creamy cakes lah....
 


Ains- oh okok... I chk w them then... Wait for them to revert.. I've asked abt boy n girls theme..

Alicia- ya, me also dun fancy cream tats y I sun really like to eat cake... Creamy very jerlak.. I also chose fondant cake..
But a few of my gfs super love the cream... Always scrap off the whip cream clean clean n still super slim their figure... Piangz...
