Calling BS,
I just came back from Dubai, extended 1 more day in last minute. Very enjoyable trip. Hope u can still count me in for the OM books!

vol 1 : RMM,CC, Jsmami
vol 2 : GN4, RMM, KL, BS,CC, Jsmami

Back to Dubai. We spent 7 full days there (excluding air freight). Hot hot hot under the sun but very ok when we were in water. We went to 2 water parks, Burj Al Arab (7 stars hotel), Burj Dubai (tallest building in the world), Ski Dubai, Dubai Mall (not sure if it's the largest in the world but it's huge), desert safari (amazed my kids weren't scared of dune bashing!)..... My kids & I didn't have enough by the time we were supposed to go to the airport & I managed to change my flight & book a villa ($$$), afterwhich the whole Dubai experience is really complete.

Hey pals, if anyone is interested in Dubai, go during summer cos hotel rates are lowest but don't go during Ramadan (their fasting month which just begins). We were told that price can be 5 times what we paid during peak season from Dec to Apr!

Hi buddies !

Am having a rare chance to log in.
Haven't started shopping yet, will do so Sunday to Tuesday.
So JsMami I will still be able to count you in if I find the OM books, don't worry.
And che, I guess the only item(s) suitable will be the Lego T-shirts for kids. See what I can get.

If you want anything for sure, can call my mobile in Sing : (65) 8207-6144.

Chat later.

HI Jsmami,

Your Dubai trip seems exciting! Did you go there by 自由行 or guided tour?

Staying in a 7-star hotel, is it expensive?? How much did you spend for the trip? I mean the basic part like flights, lodging, transportation & meals.

BS,
Thx very much!!!!

GN4,
I only stayed at the sister hotel of the 7 stars Burj Al Arab but went inside to take a look (restricted to most people though). I redeemed 4 tickets using Asiamiles & stayed at 5* hotels. Spent around $40k for 6 nights. I went by "chi-yau-hang". I haven't joined tour for a long time. Tour price is around $9k++ for 3 nights, of which 1 night in one of my hotels & the rest in 4*. So my cost is not bad at all.

Just read another forum (not BK) that tour guides told tourists from HK not to go out on the streets of Dubai at night because of crime. What a lie! Shopping malls in Dubai are open till 10pm & even midnight during weekends. We like the locals so much. They are very very friendly & civilized!!!!

Hi JSmami,

Thanks for your sharing. So, it's about 40K + 4 tickets. Have to think think la...

But the high cost is understandable, considering a paradise in the centre of a desert. So, everything is built with $$$...

Me too, I like 自由行 more. More flexible, more freedom and deeper memory as the itinery is self-planned.

Moreover, I start to enjoy short trips, say 3-4 days. Can pack light and feel freer to move.

Buddies,

Just back from Chimelong last night .... very exhausted! We went to the Waterpark twice and played exciting water games for many many times.

JSM,

Your Dubai trip is awesome. Must remember to get more info from you if I go there next time.

blue*/GN4/LSW,

Have just received our BBB and the bank statement.

Exchange rate for pound is $13.0324. Hence your share is $313.30

I've already brought them all back to office (they're really heavy!). Can pass them to you any time during lunch or after work.

LSW, can you come to the old place (dan tat wong) to take it?

GN4, I can pass BBB to you at NTK MTR station tonight. Are you OK then?

KL,

Ha, so you got back last night and I got back today !

And we can swap goodies again, say next Monday ?
You have :
Lego #7686 Helicopter Transport SGD$45.9 less GST refund
That Lego shop is phasing OUT their T-shirts, not much left. Could only find 1 Adult-S size Blue Tank Top (bui-sum) Bus, SGD 29.75 less GST refund, forex 5.362. Show it to you and you decide whether you want it la. (Got an Adult-M size for piglet !!)
[The only other Adult-S size is a polo-shirt, horizontal stripes, with a parrot on left chest side. Piglet said it was Pirates' parrot, but nothing else says Lego. So did not buy. ~SGD4x.xx not cheap either.]

GN4,

Managed to claim GST refund on your receipt haha. The shop lumped it together with a keychain SGD 7.9 incl GST which I bought, and total refund was SGD6 in cash on the 2 receipts total SGD 116.7. Ha !

Carly,

The Dr. Seuss Hornton elephant DVD and plush was bought from Kinokuniya Bookshop which was in Tower B of Ngee Ann City (same complex as Takashimaya Dept Store and the Lego shop).
Cost was SGD 30.9 less 30% discount less GST forex 5.362. At first I got a squint eyed elephant but exchanged it for a good-eye one before shop closed at 9:30pm !

Piglet and I spent the whole afternoon at Kinokuniya, found and bought (all px before discount and GST refund) :
Common Mistakes in Engl (Longman) SGD 17.01
Horribly Hilarious Jokes SGD 16 (from Horrible series)
The worst case scenario (2 books, SGD19.8 each)
The Grammar Lab Books 2 and 3, SGD 29.95 each
Star Wars Clone Wars comic book, SGD 12.29 each (1 out of a series of at least 10 comic books !)

I think the Grammar Lab series books are lots cheaper in Sing than in HK, right ? KL and RMM should know.

Of course bought a LOT of Lego, total nearly SGD 600 ! Cos bought the Giant Castle Chess set, SGD 299.90. Real heavy, had to surrender as check-in luggage (fragile), could not hand carry.

RMM, JsMami, CCheng,

You're in luck :
Went to 2 Popular bookshops, on Sunday and yesterday. Yesterday, got some suppl ex for P5 and P6 for piglet, then looked and looked, and suddenly found .....
2 OM vol 1 ASEAN edition, SGD44.90@ same as GN4 did, plastic-wrapped in perfect shape, so grabbed it !
Then I cont to look, and looked and looked around. Cos it was not yet time for dinner with my sis and part of her family, and came across yet more Maths suppl books.
And there on top of a whole pile of not-so-good Maths suppl ex books, was 1 copy of... plasticbag-wrapped perfect shaped OM vol 1 !
So now I've bought 3 copies for you all.
But NO discount on this book from Popular ! Just GST refund.

I paid cash on everything, except the Lego which I pre-ordered on the internet for myself incl the one for KL. So the forex conversion rate is 5.362, OK ? And I need to calc the GST refund pro-rata. Wait till next Monday la pls !

Re : suppl exercises

I bought some for piglet, can let you see the content then you decide whether you want relevant grades in that same series for your kids.

What I bought were :
The Grammar Lab (there are books 1, 2 and 3, SGD 29.95@ book)
Just Maths Clinic series (Books A and B for each grade, SGD 7.5@)
Just Maths Revision series (1 book for each grade, SGD 7.5@)
Just Engl Clinic series (Books A and B for each grade, SGD 7.5@)
Just Engl Revision series (1 book for each grade, SGD 7.5@)
Road to A* Maths (Longman) (1 book for each grade, SGD 6.65@)
Everyday Grammar Book (1 book for each grade, SGD 16.95@)
My Pals are Here Maths Textbook (Books A and B for each grade, ~ SGD 8 @)
My Pals are Here Maths Workbook (Books A and B for each grade, ~ SGD 5.5 to 6 @)
Longman Grammar Adventure (book, SGD 10.15@)

Bought a few books and magazines on Star Wars.
Paid SGD 21.4 for a 1-year Membership Card from Kinokuniya Bookshop, 20% discount from 15 - 31 August, so from what I bought plus the GST refund that 1-year membership = free, see ?

Only went to Science Museum for 1 afternoon from ~2 - 6 pm ja, apart from shopping in Orchard Road Ngee Ann City. Spent the rest of the time on shopping and browsing and eating. Went to a small town in Malaysia for 1 day (11am to 6pm). Then took bus back from Johore to Singapore. Similar situation as Shenzhen --> Lok Ma Chau. Not safe in Johore.

End of long-winded report.

I have discount cards from the following :
Kinokuniya Bookshop (normally less 10%)
Lego shop (normally less 10%, some items VIP price)
Also got a SIM (phone) card, valid for half year (should be up to ~25 Feb since I started using it today.) Can make free IDD calls back to HK ! Lovely card for SGD 18 only !
So if you're going to Sing, and not going to claim GST, can borrow the discount cards and phone card from me !
Also remember to bring along your Popular Bookshop card cos it is also valid in Sing !

Highly recommended workbook for mums of kids in P1 and P2 :

My Pal are Here ! Grammar Handbook
SGD 21.30 @ before discount and GST refund
available from Sing Popular
A very colourful grammar workbook, quite good too. Kids should like it better than the plain text suppl ex books around.

Similarly for that :
Everyday Grammar Book (one for each grade)
SGD 16.95@
But more difficult to find, perhaps published quite some time ago.

If you want anything from Sing like what I've got, can always let me know, and can buy them online.
Then whenever somebody goes HK --> Sing can take them back.
