I think the original sets can only play original games, just like the original PSP sets.

I understand that initially the original sets can only play original games. But there is info fr internet if you edit the code setting, the original sets can play both the original and pirated games too. It is proved!

We must support orginal lah! :celebrate:[/quote]Yeah. Heard. :lol:

But my DH has a niece who has 1 stake of pirated wii games. It was given to her by an interior design contractor. (Long story - a hosp has granted her wish to renovate her bedroom into princess theme bedroom during her chemotherapy sessions. So this contractor sent her this wii set with games.)

We are trying to have fun with her using her game sets.

... I tried to order from odonatabook but realised that they don't accept visa. What kind of payment mode did you use?

Hmmm... yes, I paid by visa. May be you shd try again? Or email to the publisher if you still encounter the same problem? After I placed order, the next day odonatabooks.com has sent 2 emails to me for 1/ order confirmed 2/ order received, and followed by another email few days later - 3/ order shipped.[quote] ...Thanks for your recommendation. Ya, I thot the books are great... [/quote]You are welcome. Yes. This is a very good reader! My kids enjoy the books. They progress smoothly and fast comparing to other readers I have at home. Hope your DSs will love it too...

wow... good staff, RAchelmum! I love it especially the 偏旁部首 and 汉语拼音. Will show to my kids. Hope they love and learn from it too! Thank you for sharing!

[quote=\"tree nymph\"]10kg a pack and i need to get 2 packs.

Errr...where's your hubby all this while during that time. Should have just given him a list and get all the stuff? I cannot imagine he also allowed you to go through the chore...

DH left for business trip thinking his mum (with the maid) will get stuff for the confinement nanny to cook. Anyway, that is what his mum said she would in front of DH and FIL mah. I must add that his mum has her own car.[/quote]Wow... no kidding, this mil. If she can let you handle such thing in confinement month and on day 5 after delivery, I can't imagine the challenges you are facing in daily life... Stay strong, tree nymph!

( :idea: If I were you, I wld not do it. I will call up my brothers or other own family members or friends to help me and deliver to me... )

My girl likes the color and illustration.

Hmm..I am nuts on overseas ordering :oops: Let me see whether I can figure out how to order online

No worry. You may preorder and buy from local outlets like: http://elmtreebooks.com/locate_us.php if you prefer it.

Cheers...

Hi All,


Any advise how to monitor & control internet usage for kids? Able to install some filter program to check which website they had went to? The most worried is that they go online chat with strangers & all informations being reveal out.

Experienced parents do share your comments in here.

May be u can peep on this similar thread: Parental control tool for child web surfing here: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31

There are few suggestions what parents here do for their computers at home.

I want to thank mummies for recommending 学前阅读计划 readers. My gal enjoys the readers very much. Finally, I find some chinese readers that she is able to read on her own


I am looking for 900-1200 words series. Pls let me know if you happen to see any local shop or website selling it. Thanks.

Hi maltbibi,

I am really glad to find this reader too. My kids also enjoy reading this reader. I have other readers at home but they are not interested to read it on their own initiative. Except this one! :celebrate:

Last time I called up and spoke to the person in charge of Elmtree from their Aljunied warehouse. She said we may pre-order the series which is not available at their outlet, then pick it up when the books are arrived.

But I didn't order from them, bcoz I don't want the audio CD which comes with the books. I ordered directly fr odonata.com. It took 10 days to receive the books even though I paid by using surface shipping mode.

The odonata.com staff called me up that day told me that for surface shipping mode, it might take 1 to 4 months to reach me as the parcel will be shipped out by sea transportation. She asked me whether I want to change to air shipping mode, which will only take 1 week to receive the book. I was :shock: . (I didn't change bcos if I wanted to TT the additional air shipping charges to her, I wld have to pay the bank S$10 TT charges!) Luckily it took 10 days only! yah men, how could it be to ship a parcel from there to singapore will take 1 to 4 months! Unless all the staffs in shipping company are sleeping while on duty... :lol:

All kids hate them. Does yours? Mine finds it torturous to eat ladie's fingers. Dunno why....cos it is my favourite. Especially in curry fish head.

My boys like it! It is my favourite dish too. But my gal & DH hate it. So if I cook this dish, I have to prepare another dish for them.

I have just received reply from the publisher.


The distributor in Singapore for odonata books is elm tree (as stated by autumnbronze), and their website is http://elmtreebooks.com .

You can find their outlets in Singapore at : http://elmtreebooks.com/locate_us.php

You can choose to order directly from http://www.odonatabooks.com/webshaper/store/viewCat.asp?catID=3 the books with or without CD. But in singapore it comes with CD.

I have placed order for series 3-5 at RM137.70 without CD include surface shipping charges. I think it is cheaper...
