Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫

kittylock,

my thomas train sets (w/ trails, small bridge) are from TOMY. I bought two different sets. One is with Thomas, Percy and Terence at the coal site. Quite cute as there are some coal beans for loading and shovelling. Another set is the Medium Thomas set. The sets are both only S$29.95 (around 40%-50%) off. They are plastic.

Bluestar,

Pandan cake?? Yes, of course 1 is reserved upon your order la. So cheap at Terminal 2. S$6.9 cha. I bought 3.

For all ladies who wanna visit Spore,

do try a new Japanese grilled food restaurant called Pepper Lunch at Isetan or Takashimaya.

for ORT, if you know friends in Spore holding membership card. Can get 10% off and for purchase over S$1000 (my case!), 15% off. I order all ORT 1-9 items which I don't have to make a complete set at home.

Postage (surface mail) is only S$70.5 for 30kg. I think my whole lot won't weigh that much. I expect postage to be around S$30-40 (HK$200) at most. So, w/ 15% discount, very good price la.

Kino offers no discount currently.

Kitty, could you contact bluestar and ask her to call me tonight to take the cake plus other things. I can't do delivery on Monday as I have lots of doc to bring to office. THANK YOU!!!!!

Bye, got to catch my flight la... talk again in HK!!!

[size=large]Kittylock, Gloria,

No need to call me up la - I saw Gloria's message so will call her tonight.

A similar pandang cake costs $180 approx in HK, in a TST restaurant !!

Don't blame Gloria for posting the same message 4 times - BK is mentally defective, very short !!

[size=large]Snoopyma, Che, Audreymum,

(did I remember correctly ?)

Pls see homepage of BK - on 首頁，a 方太VCD is now being advertised, claims to teach Indo / Filipino maids how to cook for you better!!!
Grab one and show it to your maid !!

Should be able to improve your maid's cookery, no need to go to the centre to take cookery lessons, and cheaper than cookery courses !!

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫

Gloria,

Sorry for causing the confusion.

For the information of interested bookaholics :

My son who is now in P1 recently took the following books home for reading, borrowed from the P1 class library :
A book from ORT Stage 3
2 books from Magic Key series

But Magic Key seems to be more difficult than Stage 3, so I am a bit

?-( ?-( on the Engl standard expected of P1 students.

Experts in ORT, any :idea: pls ?

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫

Bluestar,

ORT Stage 3 is too simple for a P1 student la ..... my son has finished reading Stage 5 by himself wor... think stage 6/7 would be more appropriate.

As compared with ORT Stage 3, Maigc Key books have more words and their stories are more complicated. Though they are designated for age 5 or above in UK, I think they are suitable for Hong Kong primary student.

Actually Magic Key serie are not just stories, but through the stories to give guidance to children in using punctuation, capital letters, organising sentence structure, asking question to get the right answer, story telling techniques etc...

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書收穫

Hi Gloria,

The illustrator of this book is the same as "Buzz said the Bee" -----> Hans Wilhelm, very nice and cute drawings.

This is a funny story about animals who were looking for the sun at night time. All animals include dog, pig, cow and chicken thought that the sun was misisng and so they yelled to wake it up. And they failed of course. When dawn approached, a baby cried and the sun went up. And all the animals trust the baby must be the only one who could wake up the sun!!

The book use simple sentence and large fonts. Kids will found it easy to read aloud and understand.

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書收穫

Hi GloriaChung,

I've borrowed this book from the library, my daughter loved it very much.

Just quote a few paragraphs:
One night, in the middle of the night, a flea bit Dog on his ear. Dog woke up.

"Woof! Woof!" said Dog. "It must be time to get up."
Pig woke up too. "Oink! Oink! said Pig. "Be quiet".
"It's time to get up" said Dog.
"No, it is not" said Pig. "The sun is not up."
...............

The story is about the animals: dog, pig, cow and chicken waking up the sun. During reading, I make the noise of the animals together with my daughter. She will make the noise and laugh together. It is a level 2 book, so the English is simple. She can read some of the sentences (of course she just remembered the words, not really read the words).

I think it's a funny book. Simple and easy to read.

I hope that I can find it in Commercial Press. I remembered I searched it in Commercial Press in TST before but could not find it. I will try Causeway shop next week. Original price is $39. If on sale @100 for 4 is really cheap. Worth to buy!

Hi GloriaChung,

How many voucher from KMK do you have? I have $100 coupon and a stamp card (almost full) for redemption of another $100 coupon. I will go to encash it early next week.

It's a really cheap source of book. I spent a lot there (that's why I have so many stamps) :-( :-( :-(
