Reminds me of my holiday to Japan with my 22 month old and my 3 month old.

Some dinners she was good. Once awhile go crazy. The 3 month old no issue at all.

Luckily the restaurants were accommodating. I actually managed to eat at michelin guide restaurants with two kids!

But there was once I put my 22 month old outside the restaurant for making too much noise. Luckily didn't get arrested la. Hahaha.

But it's fun to travel la. Good to spend time and create memories with them.

lol, you brought 2 and you managed notworthy.gif

younger more convenient... my cousin brought his daughter to Japan also when she was 5 months, difficult but manageable cos just need to feed milk and movements are limited... 1.5 years and above, oh God... the moment i reach any restaurant, even before we sat down, he'll go berserk like a homing missile looking for automatic sliding doors, staircases and lifts bangwall.gif
he's so fascinated with everything that he didn't even want to eat his porridge doh.gif

how was the food? always wanted to experience a Michelin star restaurant

Bloody fantastic. And super value for money!

don't know why i'm afraid when you said that sweat.gif

i'll do more research, let's hope i get to EAT IN A RESTAURANT in my next holiday!

good luck to you, but i believe yours will be ok since the elder sis can take care of him

It's value for money coz for example... a full 7 course Kobe beef meal for 200 ringgit. A michelin star beef meal cost 400.

U can't get that kind of food for that kind of money here at all.

If u budget 50 a meal u get fantastic food too which u probably pay like 90-100 for it here but taste sub par.

Haha elder sis hates younger brother... Hahaha.

This time short trip so bringing maid la. Hehe. Ticket is super cheap and she can just bunk on the couch in the room. Worth not having to look after one kid!

Why not just buy the new one? After discount it's not significantly more expensive and it comes with a nice box and accessories and warranty.

Just wanted to share this out while it's getting sorted with relevant parties.

My business account, DialsAndStraps, was recently deleted on instagram over a trademark/copyright infringement. The company? International Watchman.

I had read about him back a year or so about the lawsuit in which he trademarked the word "NATO" and there was a lawsuit with him against 18 other NATO strap sellers. Yes, 18 others.

And apparently he won the case, under stupid and fuc8ked up reasons in which many watch strap enthusiasts on WUS condemn it. A quick search on his webstore shows how incompetent he is while running a business.

Keywords for google : International Watchman llc, nato strap lawsuit

Apparently he is now targeting small ebay sellers, Instagram webstore and FB pages just like me and are shutting down us one by one. Pathetic trademark troll lel.

Funny thing about instagram is that they sent me an email stating a violation of the trademark on 423am, another one on the same time on 423am stating that they deleted off my account. Talk about efficiency

Anyways, currently sorting it out with Instagram to get back AT LEAST my trade account name.

http://www.watchfreeks.com/41-straps-other...r-issues-2.html

Just wanted to share how fucked up a person can be and how desperate he can get. Let's see whether does he try to sue Omega and Tudor over the usage of the word NATO as well.

edit: any lawyers can advise whether if I list the ad "NATOs/NATOS" would it be an infringement as well?
*
Is his trademark valid internationally?

PM me if u need help. I have a friend who's a lawyer who deals with all these kind of shit.

Not now. But back in the early 2006-2009, Ball was a microbrand destined to be something big. Kinda like Nomos of its time.
*
Nomos can't be considered a microbrand. Everything is developed in house. Small company. Big vision. Great products. But the new stuff always out of stock because of the slow production rate.

I'd personally go for the new in house.

Much longer power reserve. In house. The aesthetic changes are minor. Why worry about servicing? Won't happen for a long time and you might have sold it then

Are they in Malaysia? I don't purchase stuff online as I don't own a credit card.

I have paid off my credit card a few years ago and I cut it after that. Everything now is paid in cash.

yes bro. if i remember correctly they are based here but they ship to Sg and whole of My. I bought mine before and IIRC i just transfered cash to them and i got the package within 2 days at my office.

Just hit them up on FB. Isofrane Malaysia or Singapore something like that
