Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Anyone living in New York? Just want to know on New Year eve, does the people needs to enter a certain fix zone few hours before the countdown in times square like HK? For me, it is very crazy to stand and wait for at least 3 hours without eating and going to toilet. New York is the same or not? Just curios.
Thanks.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Dear all,

Happy New Year everybody !!
I'm just from HK to LA. A friend of mine introduces BK to me, I have been browsed this topic for few times, but it's always too slow to write a message.

Let me introduce myself. I came here just few months, I'm stay home mother with 2 girls, Charmine at 4 yr + Tania at 2.3 yr. I live at Arcadia, is there any moms near to me. If you have any gathering, I'm happy to join it.

Wish you & your family have a good year in 2006.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Hi　ｍｉｕｍｉｕ３１３,
唔好意思, 八卦睇到你既message, 所以八卦咁想答吓你.
我上次都係幫hertz 租車, 個car seat係要另外比錢, 我要早少少order個car seat, 因為我個depot係小形, 所以無store.

我上次坐國泰, 個bassinet都幾大個, 但你要一早同公司order, 同你要order baby meal(有奶n baby food)同nappy(唔同大細)(if 你係order infant ticket),

帶ｂｕｇｇｙ方面，　你可以帶上機，　唔當ｈａｎｄ　ｃａｒｒｙ．

致于叫人帶老人家上機, 啲姐姐會由check in　ｃｏｕｎｔｅｒ開始帶，　不過，　到咗目的地，　個姐姐會係外國人，　同佢唔會帶老人家過境，　所以你最好比定個ｍｏｂｉｌｅ　ｎｏ個老人家，　因為上次，　個ｉｍｍｄ．ｓｔａｆｆ　ｃａｌｌ我老公問佢嘢．　　如果國泰機就一定有人識講廣東話，　你都要早少少叫佢哋比呢個ｓｅｒｖｉｃｅ你．佢哋會ｍａｒｋ係個電腦度

希望幫到你啦！　如果，　你仲有問題，　可以ｐｍ我

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Hi everybody,

Have a very happy 2006 !!!!

SY-mom,

I used snapfish, they are using Kodak and I think their service is good. For example, last time I gave the wrong address and did not get the prints. After I email them, they credited back to my account so that I can re-order them again.

Vennus,

Welcome! I live in LA too! I know there are a lot of Cantoneses live in Arcadia and it's a very good area! We LA mamas & babies & families may have a gathering in mid-Jan in Monterey Park area. Do u want to join? email me la: [email protected]

Muimui,

I 100% understand how stress life can be if things all happen together. Last month I had to move and had to go back to work and I was so exhausted..... wish u good luck on everything!

My parents' experience of coming to US: they were brought to the immigration line by the staff of the airline (Asiana - a Korean airline). They just lined up and they said the immigration did not ask them anything at all. Just took photo and fingerprint. Maybe because they look like retired people who tour around....

The preparation I did for them: download the forms for immigration and custom and filled in and mailed back to them. Then they can bring it together and ask the staff to copy the info to the actual forms. If u want the forms, I see if I can find them in my computer and email to u. And they had some Chinese-English card with them: eg. can I have some water? where is the washroom? and of course most important info is your contact detail.

All in all, GOOD LUCK la!

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Dear Shiba_Inu,

Nice to meet you in BK :-P
I'm glad you would have a gathering soon at Monterey Park. Pls include me as well, this is my email "[email protected]"
I'm a new driver, actually just passed the Driving Test last week, one day before my hubby returned HK. I bought enough food at home and seldom drive in these rainy days. I wish I can attend the gathering la.

Muimui,
Just share my experience with you. My parent came visit me last month on Dec. They can't speak any English at all. If they ride on Cathy CX, there are enough crew members speaking Cantonese. The only thing I did, is to prepare them a "note" (cat paper) to show Immg. counter with the purpose of their trip, how long and where they are going to stay. You can make it in Bi-langual version so that your parent understands what does each statement mean. It's very easy & useful, my parent used this method few times no matter going to LAX or JFK. It works. Don't worry so much. They would be fine.

Wish you all the best.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Dear Whalebb,

Good to meet you here. My hubby also has homesick ar, he is missing his "4F" (family, friends, food & football), always complains boring here. But for me, I'm pretty enjoy coz there are enough stuff to do with 2 kids.

Where is Arcadia Food Court ? Do U mean the one at Westfield / Santa Anita Mall ? Or the one near Rancho Market ?

Does your elder one go to pre-school ?? Charmine is a late comer, the school has only 2 half days for her in a week. She is very boring & sometimes becomes emotional. So I'm considering to find some program for her.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

各位靚媽咪, 同準媽咪(mrs.yip & greentree)
[size=large]Happy new year

I am back!!!!!!! and finally I take up all my left over shifts, and also.. clean my house for the Lunar new year

Thanks for everyone's greetings to my lovely father, he has a wonderful birthday with all of us, he has lot of fun and spent all lovely time with Amanda.

Muimui313,
if you choose Cathay Pacific, their bassinet acturally can carry heavier than 25lbs, as when Amanda was 13 months old, she can still fix into it, but just sleep on the side not on her back.. Also, you can bring the carseat in flight, and as the air hostess to keep it for you... and get it back when you are landing if you got the buck head seat with Alex..
then you can rent the car sear from car rental, as we went to LA and Orlando, FL, we also asked for the car seat for Amanda.. every time is good... Alamo is a pretty good one, the car seat is clean and new everytime.. and very easy to install...
16 hours flight.. that's equal to NY to HK... we let Amanda slept first, then keep her busy for a while with the toys, as I don't want her to suffer to bad jetlag, so I did give her a dose of antihistamine everytime we fly... (bad on me

) then she will sleep well for another 5-6 hours.. then.. we normally arrived our distination very soon!! hee hee..
About your mom, the flight to Hawaii, always has the Hong kong tour... and they really got air-hostress in flight whom can speak mandarin/cantonese, so she will be fine.. for landing, then your mom should got your cell phone number, also, if she is social, then she better chats with other Hong Kong ppl, then they can all go thru custom together.. ^o^
Message to all new york mom....
Amanda's day care asks for toy donation.. but I would like to ask if anyone wants 1-2 years old toys before we donate them, as most of them are pretty new... those are the entertainment table.. from leap frog and fisher price.. and the cooking setting.. and a lot.... if you guys would take them.. I would like to save them for your child.. (That's much worth)..

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Dear Whalebb,

Is MSN compatiable between Yahoo & hotmail ? I tried to add you already in yahoo MSN, not sure ok or not. Pls check it.

For Charmine, yes, I'm searching around the area for some courses (not so expensive) like drawing or dancing for her. I appreciate if any of you can tell me some info about this.

Dear Shiba_Inu,
I have also added you in yahoo MSN, too, pls check it.
How about the gathering for LA moms, how many members (families), where do you ususally go ?? Outdoor park or indoor activities ?? I guess my hubby may still in HK on Jan 14, but I would try to join it. Let me know more details la.

Dear AngieMame,
Good to know your due date is coming soon, it's normal to be nervious law. Pregnancy is really a wonderful experience, no matter how heavy your tummy is, you still feel sweet, right! Hope to see you la.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part IV

Hi Vennus,

Welcome to BK

I got your replied regarding our LA Mom Gathering. Hopefully your hubby will be back at the time. Just let me know the headcount after you verify with him

Forgot to introduce myself..hehehe...I am a full-time C9 in Walnut with my 17 month old daughter, Natalie. We like to spend our time at the mall, park, visiting my grandparents, or going out with my friends. In case you want to join our gathering on 1/14 and your hubby is not back yet, you can take side streets to the restaurant from Valley to Atlantic. It should be less than 20mins away from Arcadia. Hope to see you soon :-P :-P :-P

Nillie,

Welcome home :lol: :lol: :lol: Did you do a lot of shopping in HK

My hubby and I really want to take Natalie to HK for our next vacation...but we have no guts...afraid she will make us cough blood on the trip
