[Bigeyes]

Good morning everyone! The new arrivals look so yummy, wish i can go down!

[Avina]

morning peeps!
I have been constantly at work or in bed! HAHA!
General hospitals are generally, well, busy busy busy. 12 hour days are the norm which can be exciting but very tiring as well. By the time I reach home I am so knackered, I KO until the next morning.

[FabianY]

Avina, Ross was commenting that I went MIA completely for the past few weeks. Same for me. Rehearsals-Performance-Teaching-Rehearsals-Performance. Was a period i considerd camping out at Esplanade since I'm there everyday. zzz

Yes, the k&co paper packs were selling fast. Last I saw there was just one pack left on the shelf. Am not sure if they have more in the warehouse.

[feli]

[luv2scrap]

Hi Felicia (feli)! Nice to meet you there too! :becky: Did you buy lots?

[feli]

not really.. bought some K&Co PPs and a sticker and two boxes of MR Chipboard to make up $80!! haha!

[luv2scrap]

Oh that's right, I wanted to check out the MR chipboard but forgot! The K&Co papers are so nice, as are the stickers and embellishments. I bought mostly K&co today. What did you get for your lucky dip?

[Jen]

so good!! your niece will sure love it!! my god sons went and they enjoy themselves a lot! :D

[Sharon K]

so good!! your niece will sure love it!! my god sons went and they enjoy themselves a lot! :D

For kids of course lah.... but personally I still prefer Tokyo or LA Disneyland. If got enough $$, Florida's DisneyWorld will be the best lor! :first:

[hweeface]

I like ANY disney land.

[hweeface]

Does any one know if the HK disneyland has english? or is mickey speaking chinese?

[tsuki]

Does any one know if the HK disneyland has english? or is mickey speaking chinese?

they use both cantonese and english! :becky:

[Jen]

they use both cantonese and english! :becky:

as in, "ha luo, ngor hai mei lou xu"? (in cantonese, meaning "hallo, i am mickey mouse")...:becky:

[ffellie]

hahahaha really?!

[adoncia]

thats cute!!! hearing them in cantonese!!!

any disneyland for me is fine. as long as its disneyland.. :high5: hwee!

[*YB*]

HK Disneyland is great! It opened just a few days after I moved here from Hong Kong so I only went last year. Went on the roller coaster 7 times in a row :P

[luv2scrap]

as in, "ha luo, ngor hai mei lou xu"? (in cantonese, meaning "hallo, i am mickey mouse")...:becky:

seriously? that's funny! :becky: my favourite's still disneyworld in florida. beats the rest hands down. :becky:

so what do they say in paris disneyland? bonjour! c'est mickey?

[mly2906]

Didn't understand a single word of annoucements in Paris Disneyland ... all in French!

[minty]

I absolutely enjoyed my trip to Tokyo Disneyland, although that was many years ago... Don't mind going again. & I do like it more than the US ones... Mickey & Friends in Kimono... So kawaii... :)

[hweeface]

I have been to the paris one. it was winter so queues were very short. Mostly in french but they will speak some english. Glad to know they do english in HK. I do not understand any cantonese and if i go, want to understand whats going on.

[hweeface]

Not having made it to the states yet.

[Sharon K]

Didn't understand a single word of annoucements in Paris Disneyland ... all in French!

I find EuroDisney (Paris) very small... didn't enjoyed it when I was there. Actually TOkyo Disneysea is not bad too..:becky:

Having been to few Disneylands, my next target will be FLorida DisneyWorld!

[minty]

hello..... it's quiet tonight...

[Laradee]

I find EuroDisney (Paris) very small... didn't enjoyed it when I was there. Actually TOkyo Disneysea is not bad too..:becky:

Having been to few Disneylands, my next target will be FLorida DisneyWorld!

Yes.. the Florida Orlando one is unmatchable......... so BIG... so many rides... oh.. I love it. And so many many places........ ayiah... i want to go again!

Went to the LA one too, can't be compared........

[minty]

I heard of all the Disneys, Florida is the best so it is true!!

[Laradee]

Ya... my mantra is to save and go far far one to Florida cos it is worth it. And all the Factory Outlets just a stone throw away... oh.. it is even more worth it.

My Husband fav motivation for me "You save 10 years loh... then can go to Florida... or you don't buy so much SB stuff.. .sure can go.... "

[minty]

will definitely consider going to Florida... maybe I will start saving now and by the time my baby turns 3-4, we can make a trip there to see Mickey & friends! :)

[weiling07]

i've been to the one in Paris n i dont like it cos the queues were sooooo long :(

i wanna go to the one in florida! n all the theme parks (just for memories sake cos im not big on theme parks actually) ;)

[luv2scrap]

Ya... my mantra is to save and go far far one to Florida cos it is worth it. And all the Factory Outlets just a stone throw away... oh.. it is even more worth it.

My Husband fav motivation for me "You save 10 years loh... then can go to Florida... or you don't buy so much SB stuff.. .sure can go.... "

You'll LOVE DisneyWorld in Florida. My favourite of all the Disneylands. Universal Studios is another must-go for the kids. And of course the Factory Outlets are to die for! :becky: See, a little something for everyone. :becky:

[adoncia]

will definitely consider going to Florida... maybe I will start saving now and by the time my baby turns 3-4, we can make a trip there to see Mickey & friends! :)

me too!! saving to bring baby to hk or even tokyo disneyland... hehe... :D

[Jen]

wow. all these talk about disneyland...well, i shall have to stop buying sb supplies and save big time to go to almost any of them. not keen on the HK one. heard more rides for the kiddoes...

anyway, that sentence i said in my broken cantonese - just what i imagine they might say?

adoncia, well, think it would be more fun if bb is older - like 4 yrs old and above...and by then, i guess you would have saved enough to go tokyo!?!

any idea if there is minimum height requirement for rides for kids?

[adoncia]

yes jen! i thought so too.. baby will be enjoy herself more when she is 3 or 4... i intend to bring her to hong kong one first... cause my god sons went and they really enjoy themselves a lot... :D

[tsuki]

yah some of the rides do have minimum height requirement.. think should be around 100cm if i remember correctly.. anyway there are also other rides around for kids so dun have to worry..

[Lena]

Ya... my mantra is to save and go far far one to Florida cos it is worth it. And all the Factory Outlets just a stone throw away... oh.. it is even more worth it.

My Husband fav motivation for me "You save 10 years loh... then can go to Florida... or you don't buy so much SB stuff.. .sure can go.... "
hahaha, guess my hubby will say dat too!!! :doh: thks, for the infor on which disneyland to go to, guess will keep the Florida one in mind now.

[tsuki]

actually i feel that if u intend to visit the different disneylands, it's better that u consider going to hk disneyland first so when u visit another one u will find something new.. or for something different, try disneysea~!!

cos i have gone to the tokyo one first then later the hk one and find that nothing much there as hk disneyland is still quite new and small compared to the rest..

[Lena]

i think i not so 'ambitious' to try out other disneylands. jus go to one ok already. the Florida one mayb better for my girls as it's all in english, easier for my girls to understand too. but i heard dat u've to queue a while for the rides. :doh:

[tsuki]

yup especially for the popular rides.. but for some attractions they have a fast pass system where u just get a queue number and return later during the stated time so u can go for some other things instead of standing there for so long and wasting half of the day waiting!

[mly2906]

When we were in US in 2004, we bought 3-day pass .... so the kids had a really good time!

[adoncia]

wow~! 3 day pass!!!

[Cario]

You'll LOVE DisneyWorld in Florida. My favourite of all the Disneylands. Universal Studios is another must-go for the kids. And of course the Factory Outlets are to die for! :becky: See, a little something for everyone. :becky:


I quite agree. After that, no other Disneyland can quite compare, sadly, so if I want to go again, I've gotta save up for Orlando... wanted to go see the Xmas happenings in HK Disney, but then decided to put it off and save ie put the money towards our next trip to Orlando... sigh... good things come to those who wait....


14 days more to Xmas!! 7 days more till my helper comes back... betcha all can guess which one I'm more looking forward to at the moment :p

[mly2906]

14 days more to Xmas!! 7 days more till my helper comes back... betcha all can guess which one I'm more looking forward to at the moment :p

Can totally understand!

[Jen]

hi Carol...hanging in there...you're doing great.

there are times i wonder, if i ever get married, ever become a parent, would i be able to manage???

[Jen]

sigh, so dun feel like working but no work, no money, no money, no fun, no sbg, no travelling...so back to work again. Ha!

[happy]

wow...interesting sharing on disneyland. I been to tokyo disneyland for 10times or more. Have not been to those at the states. thanks for sharing.it is so tempting..probably next time i should save up and give it a try. still a few questions to check with you guys. Tokyo Disney has lots of cute souvenir, how about the states, in Tokyo there are fast pass, is there fast pass? it seem like one day pass is not enough to see the whole disney in florida so how many days is good? lastly did anyone stay in Disney hotel before, is it really good? any recommendation?

[Sharon K]

Yes.. the Florida Orlando one is unmatchable......... so BIG... so many rides... oh.. I love it. And so many many places........ ayiah... i want to go again!

Went to the LA one too, can't be compared........

I guess if you've been to Florida DisneyWorld, you wouldn't want to visit the smaller Disneylands... coz 'no kick' anymore.

But for those whom start small, eg 1st-Hkg, 2nd-Tokyo/Paris, 3rd-LA, and finally Florida then it will be "WOW WoW each time!!" LOL!

[Sharon K]

Hi Happy, I totally agreed w/you that Tokyo Disneyland is cute! Esp the japanese whom are all fun lovers, even if you don't ustand japanese, by looking at their facial expressions and actions, you'll be amazed by them!

For me, my 1st was LA Disneyland, then Tokyo (2 times disneyland + 1 disneysea), + Paris EuroDisney. I think overall, in terms of rides and area, LA is the biggest + u can ustand English. Whereas for Tokyo its fun too coz they hv many mascots around. Put aside Florida lah... that's why its call DisneyWORLD. Must spend at least 5 days there, everyday 1 land hor!! :becky:

[happy]

thanks sharon. wow...sound really very fun. must check the website...i was think of going to Hawaii...prob need to change my mind and go to LA now....

[Sharon K]

No prob happy! My pleasure to share... esp for holidays experience!

But after been to so many theme parks (few times to Disneylands, Universal Studio, Goldcoast, etc), somehow I've passed the stage for such exciting rides! Old liao... prefer scenic countries now... LOL!

[ileesum]

sigh, so dun feel like working but no work, no money, no money, no fun, no sbg, no travelling...so back to work again. Ha!

:lol: you're soo funny Jen!

[adoncia]

sigh, so dun feel like working but no work, no money, no money, no fun, no sbg, no travelling...so back to work again. Ha!

haha!!! totally agree!!! :high5:

haha.. now i am planning my disneyland wonders! hehe... when baby is 4 i will bring her to hk, when she is 6, i will bring her to tokyo... when she is 12 (after psle if she did it great), i will bring her to us or paris? there is 2 right? hehe... after so many talking of disneyland, i am so blur with the available disneylands...

[hweeface]

Yes there is paris and US. But US, there is LA and there is florida. Heehee!

[hweeface]

sigh, so dun feel like working but no work, no money, no money, no fun, no sbg, no travelling...so back to work again. Ha!


I so know how you feel. Its not supposed to be a busy time, but the number of colleagues have dropped to HALF 'cos some one is away after a knee op and more than usual people away on leave:doh: So its horrid having to work so much when i much rather SB or play. But need $$ to play:becky: so must face the daily gring. And in the pouring rain too.:rain:

[Avina]

I know exactly what you mean too!

[hweeface]

Yeah, i hate walking to the building from car park in rain. Wet up to the knees before i start work does not make for a happy morning!

[hweeface]

And walking back to car in rain makes me not want to go gym 'cos all wet and dirty already! So been skipping most of last week.

[Avina]

i hate the jams and the lousy traffic and the jokers who think that its safe to travel at the same mad speed when it is pouring.

[Bigeyes]

Hey Ros, saw Carol shopping for you at MWL. :becky: Personal shopper service. :becky:
Yup ... very good service we have here in Singapore! :lol:

[Avina]

Excellent I say!

[hweeface]

Never have to miss out.

[hweeface]

Ros are you back already? If not this thursday, we can go shop for you again. It sure was fun getting SO much stuff at one go.

[Bigeyes]

hi ros! did you enjoy at hong kong? hehe...
Hi, Adoncia ... surprisingly, Hong Kong Disneyland is fun. It's rather new and clean and interesting. I haven't been to other Disneyland though. The Disneyland hotels are nice people there are friendly and polite too. They make a point to smile and greet the guests, so the experience is wonderful ... of course ... my favourite programme will have to be the fireworks over Sleeping Beauty's Castle ... sigh! ... who would have guessed that at such a age, I still like fairy tales? haha

[hweeface]

Thats the magic of disney!

Good to hear HK Disneyland is nice...... I hear a fair bit of bad press...... :becky:
You are still a girl at heart....... I also like that... my knees go weak when i enter Disney..... its the MAGICAL feeling

[Bigeyes]

waving at Ros...who's probably too busy shopping in HK...ha ha....well, by now she should be headng back to hotel to rest, right, Ros? ha ha...
Hi, Jen .... *waves* ... we slept no earlier than 2 am every night because we'll be going for supper and dessert ... my waistline getting bigger! The shopping is ok lar ... things aren't cheap though ... I thought my spending will end there but WAH!!!! Look at the new arrivals here!!!! Think I'll be making up for my absence with a good shopping trip at mwl!

[Bigeyes]

Does any one know if the HK disneyland has english? or is mickey speaking chinese?
Cantonese!!! I went for an interactive show hosted by Stitch. it was really good but my Cantonese not so good though.

[Bigeyes]

Excellent I say!
Hi, Avina!!!! Long time no see!

[Bigeyes]

Ros are you back already? If not this thursday, we can go shop for you again. It sure was fun getting SO much stuff at one go.
Yea, touched down this afternoon ... ahem ... this Thursday you can still shop for me ... with me around lor ... heeeee

[Avina]

Hee! I am going to Tokyo Disneyland at the end of the month! Am so excited! My hubby's first time.

[hweeface]

HeeHee! Then i will shop WITH you. Not sure though. Should not miss gym just before christmas!

[Bigeyes]

Good to hear HK Disneyland is nice...... I hear a fair bit of bad press...... :becky:

Hi, Wendy! :) I haven't been to the ohter Disneyland so I have nothing to compare it to. But seriously, I didn't have such a good experience in Ocean Park where the people are kind of rude, nearly got into a BIG fight there! :lol:. That's why the smiles and politeness in Disneyland is a good change ... I'm not going to be critical but seriously ... you don't get much "excuse me" and smiles in Hong Kong. Those who are going with young children and the elderly should be very careful. My nieces and nephews got quite a few knocks from people who ignore their presence.

All said, I thought the HK Disneyland was a wee bit too small. Only Tommorrow Land, Fantasy World and the Jungles. 3 themes.

Hi, Adoncia ... surprisingly, Hong Kong Disneyland is fun. It's rather new and clean and interesting. I haven't been to other Disneyland though. The Disneyland hotels are nice people there are friendly and polite too. They make a point to smile and greet the guests, so the experience is wonderful ... of course ... my favourite programme will have to be the fireworks over Sleeping Beauty's Castle ... sigh! ... who would have guessed that at such a age, I still like fairy tales? haha

really!! wow~! make me excited and want to fly off now.. hehe... :D heard from my god sis who brought my god sons there that its really fun!!! :bounce:

Hee! I am going to Tokyo Disneyland at the end of the month! Am so excited! My hubby's first time.

Yes, MWL being located in PS helps as it has the link to MRT station and no rain can stop us!!

[Jen]

[ffellie]

hahah maybe! if i don't have to work i would have been one of them.. and if my workplace is near made with love, i would have dashed there for lunch!

[mly2906]

I am not working in the afternoon but I don't intend to go down either. Will wait till Tue when I attend the Magic class. Cannot afford too many trips there .... very bad for pocket ..... LOL

[NaNa]

Hahahahahahaha!! That's what I thought too Mich, bad for my pocket!! No, I wont be going down today or the next few days, the way I see it!! :becky: I've been such a good girl, self-constraint worked for me for the past 2 mths!! I'm hoping to clear my stash before the new Winter Cha collection comes in next year!!

[mly2906]

2 months! You have refrained from buying for 2 months!?

When does the Winter CHA collection come in?

[Sharon K]

Yes very bad for our pockets I agreed... but I cannot resist the temptations! Saw the new arrival ... yes I want to go now now! But cannot lah... at work leh... :P

[NaNa]

2 months! You have refrained from buying for 2 months!?

When does the Winter CHA collection come in?


Yeah, 2 months. I only got myself maybe a couple of pcs of PP here & there!! :becky: Not bad rite??

The CHA Winter collection maybe will be coming in after CNY, I should think so.

[ffellie]

yeah Nana, you are such an inspiration!!

[NaNa]

Hahahahahahaha!!! Felicia, better don't let the rest hear this, they must be thinking I'm mad for not shopping for 2mths!!

[Sharon K]

I think its really GOOD that you can resist the temptation for 2mths!! Oh no, I think I cannot stop buying.... chiam!

[Jasmine]

ooooo CHA winter...
hehheheee....

lookin' fwd to the new stuff!

[Jen]

ha...i've put myself on various rounds of shopping (sbg) bans...and the longest i've stuck it out must be at least a month or so...

it is hard to resist especially when there are some many yummy stuff...now, i learn to be more discriminatory in choosing what to buy...

ha, ignorance can be a bliss for the pockets. i'm so not wanting to check on the blog at all...

anyway, will be down maybe tomorrow, definitely sat...so...can still check em out later...

[lialuvsblythes]
