To my Surprise..... (my pram hunt)

I have been hunting around for a Baby Pram for me princess and was (No.1) Surprised!... knn Pram can vary in Prices.. from S$100-ish to S$1000 knn.. WTF?And to think they would only use it for like less than 2 years PLUS not used very often.

I hunt around and ask around and basically the places I found out ARE:
- Robinson
the lastest range is there. and also the $$$$ ones. but it was a pain to go there this festive season plus the lady there is not very friendly. I had always have good service in Robinson but maybe its because my wife and myself have been there looking for like 3 ocassions liaoz..

we "confirm" on one model from Aprica knn S$399... then they say have to take from BASEMENT.. took a very long time..... my wife and myself.. wait damn long and baby also getting irritated... so... we left....

- OG
Walked over to OG..... damn shiok... not crowded. But (No.2) surprisingly they have very good collection og stuff... I mean not only Baby Pram but in general the Orchard outlet seems carry more teandy stuff...And the staff there are really friendly...

the PRAMs there not like Robinson... not so many HI-end ones..found that the brand COMBI(japan design byt made in China) is very light and LUCKYBABY from Korea) is better made but heavier. One LUCKYBABY MODEL caught my eye.. but they have no stock. only a display model... so we sianz half again..

- Babay HyperMart @ Kaki BukitAve 1, 69 Shun Li industrial Park.
yesterday... knn whole day thinking of the PRAM.. so after work.. forced my wife to go with me look for PRAM... we took a quick dinner, grab my princess and we are off.... the cab took us right to the door step...the place was easily spotted to my surprise...


was thinking that there should be more models for us to see to get a suitable one for us. but apparently they carry mostly Eurpean models..slightly bigger and also much heavier.... KLKK and was not very excited about any models there.

there is another shop a few house down..called BabyKingdom... but after the Hypermart experience we just cannot be bothered with such places again. But I must say the hyperMart have a very good collection of items.. the PRAM are good but it is just me.. they have a very good collection of car seat and baby Cot and... too many to name.. and prices are very reasonable... it is good if you are begining to shop for stuff... it is a one stop store..POWER

and they open till 9pm... with enough staff to help/...
very good service.....I will return only if i have a car......

as mentioned it is located in an industrial estate.. so...CAB was a bit of a pain..
the empty ones were always ont he other side of the road. bummer!
... we deciede to cross the bridge to get a cab. but when I was still waiting for a cab on my side, I heard 2 kids... "zoot zoot" for my attention on the opposite block of HDB flats.. I kn wait boh cab see bay toos lanz already stil got funny people "zoot zoot"...

While we were crossing the bridge I saw the same to kids walking across the bridge.... knn I was about to slap them liaoz... but Surprise (No.3) again!!!
They came up to me and told me they zoot for my attention to tell me that
there are rarely empty cab on my side of the road.. and ask me to goto the other street but we had to walk a bit..... knn i was damn taken back... THERE IS HOPE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION!!! :D Thanks again guys!

- Bugis (Seiyu)
while waiting for the cab which came finally in a shor 5mins wait on the other side.. We decided to go Bugis (Seiyu) for a look. My wife have been there for a look before here delivery and found that the collection is pretty okie. So off we went.

After looking at so many designs we roughly had a idea what we want... it was to choose either
- Light weight one
- Sturdy one which would be heavier.


the final 2 models were
- Brand COMBI... very light very spacious, 1-hand operation, big wheels, stand upon closing and reversable pushing direction. S$198
- Brand LcukyBaby... it has all the stuff we had asked for.. only that it is slightly heavier.. but a lot sturdier compared to the COMBI. S$249

make a guess which one we bought.... :D


Surprised one more time!! :D (No.4)
the PRAM @ Seiyu were all chained up...(not the surprise yet) So we aksed for some assistance from the lady over there..(IIRC her name is jennifer..have to confirm again) We asked to see the PRAM in other colour and to test it (lucky this festive season Seiyu opens till 10.30pm :D)So Jennifer (not very tall) dragged the brand new Pram still in the Box out... very pai seh... she did this for us for 2 models that we had requested. She was very helpful and informed us on the weight and even told us which model is customers buying more... I am totally taken back again... 2 time fo such surprises is just too overwhelming..


I would like to thank all that have helped to me our hunt such an interesting one.
May you are blessed with the same for what you have done....

Cheers!

bOo!

Just another day

It has been some time since I had time to spend with my wife. So I took the day off and spend some time with her. But we did had to bring my Princess to the doctors for her jab before this. My mum was all so kind(as usual) to look after Princess bOoeSt for the afternoon. So it was just before noon before we left and head off to orchard... that was yesterday.

We took a cab down to Show Centre where the first stop.. MNG.. She got 2 Ts, but is was like after quite a long while before she finally went to the cashier...*sigh*.. another credit card torture .. :( but hey she has not buy anything since... *no question asked.. just pay*

We hop over to TANGS... after the much needed Facelift we were pretty pleased with the new look that Tangs had. And I saw a few local celebs there as well. One being Dick Lee and the other being Belinda...yes the MTV gal and not host of that funny show with that gimmpy presenter. anyway, not very into them ... in TANGS there me wife can really take her time. walking all over. I told her that I will go to the TECH bay and have a look... so off I went.

@ TECH BAY..
the new arrangement was a good one. all the tech stuff on one side with a Bar counter just beside it....:-D Played a bit of Xbox and went off looking for me wife. she was busy in Island Shop and I helped her pick up some stuff to try. I took some of her confirmed items with me (freeing her of her much needed hands for more shopping) aand off i went to the tech bay again...to the bar actually

I swear nothing feels better than having a beer @ 12.30pm..:d in a shopping mall on a Wednesday Afternoon YEAH!!!! She caught up with me at the bar and gave me a cheeky smile... :] what to do.. I was enjoying myself as much as I can :D

I picked up 2 small handy swiss army "pen" knife to replace my really old one. The other was for my bro... it has been a long time since i got him anything and he did help me a lot for the pass year .... Cheerio to Mitch :D

We the hop over to taka for lunch.. it was a pathetic one.. the blardy Crystal Jade La Mian forgot my Wife's noodles but we did order some other side dishes so.. we left without her noodles...... after which we were wondering about taka and looking at baby stuff... but figured out she has already have enough to last there this period.. so off we went to paragon.

All this time I notice something very interesting.. and I asked my wife.
"Dear.... I just notice something.... Do you find that a lot of gals are wearing less??? and the fact that they need not be extremely pretty people still notice them.. just because of their skimppy attire.."

She totally agreed with me.... again today (acutally for the pass week) this just sudenly occur to me and maybe i am WOLS but the fact is .. Youngster nowadays are more daring to bare and this make them more attractive..??????

FACT:
you need not me super pretty..... but you cannot be super ugly.
just wear less and you'll get the attention you seek....

p.s I wonder how my daughter will be like next time :-D
