Do take a look at Artemis Fowl books, kid genius, fairies and goblins + time warp, fairy + Sci Fi. May be appealing to kids, but quite diff to understand the time warp part.

Hi, Kitty,

Hi, Goosebumps megaset cannot be sold to non-US customers. Do you have US address? If yes, you still can order it using club price.

Lately, I found Beverly Cleary books very good for kids. Bee reads one already called " Two Times Fun". It's the only book of her good for Pre-K to Grade1 level.

Kitty,

I thought the bookclub will sell such items to HK too. But the megapack ordered was not delivered. The club confirmed that such items are 'prohibited' from non-US market. A pity!!

Never mind la. Maybe you can order packs in the flyers instead of special mega sets.

My girl is now 19 lbs heavy - top of the scale!! Progress has been very good despite so little time from me.. haaaa..

But he's OK with going to the dentist for pulling his teeth ga woh.
Yesterday and today, we gave him lots of cold water, water melon, and sugar cane water. Trying to cool down his head. Told him he has to keep off McD for 3 months.

A little blood yesterday, but 100 times better than in past few days already. School uniform was clean (from blood) yesterday.

GN4,

Many thanks!

Pls PM me your bank a/c (HSBC?) and I'll tr $$ back to you la.

btw, amazon usually charge a higher ex rate ($8.05) if you use the converter.

Pls see whether you may switch back to use USD as the rate charged by bank will be cheaper.

Last time the ex rate charged by bank was just $7.9

GN4,

The price of Warriors book set 1-6 is reduced to US$23.56.

I think you may simply cancel the order (if books have not been shipped) and place again to take advantage of the price reduction and use US$ (instead of HKD) to settle the bill.

Hi KL, BS,

Too late la... I cancelled the order. It allowed me to cancel 6 sets of books but I was not allowed to cancel 1 set of Artemis Fowl. Then, I tried to add back the 6 sets of books but failed. Ridiculous!?

At the end, I have to place 2 orders. That means I have to pay 2 times of set up charge of US$4.99. So, my lesson learned is, don't bother to change order easily, unless pretty sure of the system behaviour.

To work out the share, I would propose to do in this way. I pay the first order i.e. Artemis Fowl. Then, KL and BS and I share the 2nd order.

So, the share for the 2nd order: -
BS :-
Artemis Fowl (23.1)
Total cost = 4.99/6*1 + 4.99 +23.1
ie. US$ 28.92

KL :-
Artemis Fowl (23.1)
Warriors (23.56)
Warriors - Prophecy (23.56)
Total cost = 4.99/6*3+4.99*3+23.1+23.56+23.56
i.e. US$87.69

GN4: -
Warriors (23.56)
Warriors - Prophecy (23.56)
Total cost = 4.99/6*2+4.99*2+23.56+23.56
ie. US$ 58.76

Hi buddies,

I am very busy lately. Hard to find time to chat here during the day...

But I am glad to see that my son has improved a lot. His writing becomes legible and tidy, he practices his piano without our reminders, he does his homework timely, he writes his student handbook neatly... he becomes more self-initiative. This is a great reward to my hardwork... Really hope that his good behavious can last long...
