Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫

Hi all, I'm back.

It took me over 30 mins on the dinosaur to chase your posts in my absence, especially those posted on 5 Aug alone.

Tks Gloria for your tons of Pandang cake - I only need 1 or 2. Cannot finish so much and will only grow fatter, also they are best while fresh, and I am not greedy ga.
How is your tonsilitis now ? Speaking or still dumb ?
I want sashimi rice too. (drooling) Maybe next Wed or Thurs ?? Will call you next Wed am to arrange

Fortunately I am not too interested in the books you have been introducing these past few days.

Just a thought - with all those books at home, perhaps it might be best if a few heads pool together and start a reading club.

I was only Ah 4 in D-land and L-land.
Actually L-land was better than D-land in many ways - less ppl, place cleaner and tidier, food better, rides and games more suitable for kids, less dangerous. Public transport from D-land hotel area to L-land was $31@, by coach !!!

My son and I agreed that Father in Heaven should rain 1:99 or better still 1:49 bleach on D-land to clean the place up. We had McD for lunch twice, pizza for dinner twice, a submarine sandwich for dinner once, a very bad soup and steak at hotel restaurant the first night, and bananas for breakfast twice in D-land vicinity. In general the food was awful but double / triple the price in HK (including McD) !!

While on a shuttle bus for the LA airport earlier today, we met an Indian family with the papa running a good Indian restaurant in Soho district, and the mama agreed with us that she couldn't believe the food in D-land area was so bad, plates were dirty, no choice, no good Chinese food, no good anything food.... The kids were studying in French Intl School - the girl said 20 kids from FIS died from the tsunami last Christmas. Horrible number.

So now I am back in SF, with 2 more days of shopping (incl Cosco for Scholastic DVDs), leaving the evenings and the last day for packing / packaging. Dare not buy so madly as I did in the first few days.

Learnt from my cousin that luggage cannot be locked. Wonder what will happen with my carton boxes and ingredients if I can't tape the boxes......Maybe wrap the boxes up with plastic sheets (like Glad-wrap) provided at the airport like a mummy. Prehaps that was why I saw something on the baggage claim conveyer belt being wrapped up.

Kittylock,

I saw in Lego shop ("Imaginarium") in D-land Downtown that there is another set of Lego Thomas, 102 pcs, about $69.95 I think, which is I think the 4 small sets without the non-Thomas trains.

The box for this set is very big (wide but quite flat).

And when we were waiting for our flight in LA airport after McD lunch, we went into a shop to hit book nail, and my son took a few books from the shelf to read, knowing that I won't buy, and told me he liked Little Critter !! :-( (one of the books was a LC board book)
Hope this is only his usual attitude of wanting me to buy everything and anything.

My lazy pig is never as studious as your kids in reading, always wasting his time on delay tactics in doing his meagre homework and leaving no time for reading. But then mama is also not as diligent in reading books to him either. :tongue: How can you manage reading 20-30-40 books a day, however short ? My mouth would swell and dry up.

Sometimes after 2 books he will ask for more but I refuse cos it's already past midnight and he has to go to school the next day.

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫

Hello, Bluestar,

You are here again!!! Welcome back!!!

Yes, I can sense how Ah 4 you have been in the whole trip. That's why I must bring my maid along if I take my kid too. So, during your trip, where has your maid been?

Re your lugguage, I also suggest you use the filmsy thing to protect your lugguage. Actually I did not know what such were for whilst waiting for flight in Chile last year. Hope such won't be too expensive, will they?

My tonsilitis is 98% recovered la. It was just terrible. It's good that it is finished now.

Of course, you won't be interested in any books introduced here any more la as you have so many with you now after this big trip!!!

Yes, let's have sashimi rice next week lunch when you have settled down!!! Yum yum..... hehe..

Earlier I introduced a mainland book about inventions and discoveries found at idxx. I think you should get one for your kid given he had asked so many thought-stimulating questions during the trip!! :mrgreen:

I bought some Innovative Kids Now I am reading sets at MyDear. I love the drawing and contents. Cannot help buying!! But I did not pick the compound word making book nor the flip flap phonics book. Prefer real books more!!!

Have a nice flight back ah!!! Did you lose weight at all coz of the late sleep + ah 4-w/o maid life??

Hee.. pandang cakes..either 1 ton or 1 or 2 pieces, is no problem!!!!!!

Did you buy the nature series available in Sesame? Provided you like the set bought at Chung Shing!!

Bluestar,
I have been to D-land & L-land years ago and the food there now is sooo bad?!!!! So, did your son enjoy it?

I went to Sesame today and not much to buy. Just bought 2 sets of Little Grammar and a few books about famous musicians at $10@.

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫

Bluestar,

Remember once you told me that the first few mainland books you bought had been "Hello Reader" mainland version. I discovered that actually they have separate book version which comes along with casette tapes (

). I found one set at Mydear and flipped through it. Found quality not bad. Bigger almost like A4 and then wider pages and more easy to read than the small collection book version (coming with 1 CD per level). I would have bought this version if I had known that !!!! :-( :-(

The price of the sep bk version is about 10-20% higher. The whole set inv. 4 levels (i.e. 20 stories) is about RMB 15x, whilst that for the CD small book version is about RM13x la.

Re: 分享外國或台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫

One joke:

when i was having my tonsilitis, my maid cooked 'spring rolls'!!!!

i : how come you still cook such crispy food when I am sick?

my maid: oh.. i don't know one should not eat crispy food when sick.

i : you don't know??? but my problem is a sore throat. Do you think that crispy things can cure sore throat???

my maid: oh, sorry really but you did not tell me you could not take such when having sore throat.

i : neither did you tell me that you are going to cook spring rolls when I am sick!!!!!

Sigh...................................she was the only one eating the spring rolls!!! My hubby then instructed her to ban spring roll cooking forever at our place!!

What a pig!

In fact, there are numerous such clever stories. Let me 娛樂大家 by quoting one every day.

ah Bluestar,

Forgot to feedback on your proposal for setting up a bookclub tim!

I opine that it would not be as successful as a 2nd-hand book fair to be organised by moms here and held at HKCEC!!! Sponsors: MyDear, Kick my kid, DyMook, ........etc...etc. Probably the public library won't agree to sponsor us.... well maybe the venue only... HA HA.............. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yesterday, ms square told me that her son could read aloud the Magic Box of English (but sometimes in a bad mood) story content!! And, he does not like to be urged/instructed to read this and that..

Seem that we (bookaholic moms) have good results and progress here re cultivating kids' reading abilityl! Let's keep it up, ladies!!!
