22Sep~01Oct07 Australia Trip - Baby Jogger


Only started to write blog actively after returning from Singapore Trip...and just recall the 'expensive stroller', which has been carefully chose for Nat. It was a very frastrating and upsetting experience. It cost us >A$700. First discovered the seat was torn at Melbourne Airport. BT wrote to complain when we wereback in Kuching and it seen like nobody care. After shooting emails from North (US) to South (Aus) of the earth, we got the replacement after a month. That's not the end. I found that the replacement seat was torn again (YES! AGAIN) after just 2 days. The emails shooting started again and they don't even bother to reply. BT made phone call to Aus too to highlight their defects. I was so frastrated and while I was gathering information to question their so called American Soc for Testing and Materials standard T U V standard E N - 1 8 8 8 certification, we received a email from AUS saying that the whole batch of the RED seat have defect (the seat is made in China). We requested for BLACK after all the troubles with the RED.
I still keep all the correspondance and the torn seats. Maybe one day I will forward it to A S T M and T U V to tell them how effective are they to ensure the quality of the product carrying their LOGO. To me (after the stroller case), A S T M, T U V...no different from S I R I M.

3June08 Singapore Trip - Journey to Zoo


What a long journey to Zooooooo!

Started from hotel around 11:30am. Took the MRT from Paya Lebar all the way to Jurong East interchange and took bus 927 to Singapore Zoological Park. Waited for almost 45 minutes at the bus station and the journey by bus took only 20 minutes. Met some 'friends' from Sibu on the bus.
We watched 2 shows at Zoo, the Elephant and Sea Lion. Nat had change to feed the elephant by herself, and of course, got wet by the elephant and sea lion's splashes!
We opt for shopping instead of going to Night Safari. Everyone was so tired after having KFC 'dinner'. We left the Zoo by bus to Ang Mo Ngio and took MRT to Orchard to continue our shopping spreeeeeeee. Bought some food (Sushi), Pa Zhangs, grilled Pork Ribs, and liu lian for supper in Hotel.
What A DAY!

This sign is on every lift but...a lot of normal healthy people are rushing to take the lift...until stroller with babies had to wait for next...next...next trip...we were one of the victimsss...

What a Sing Gov's trick to help the needy and conserve energy at the same time.
