Baby Shower Games And Ideas

Singapore lets its hair down

I pick up a tourist brochure as soon as I arrive in the leafy metropolis and read that Old Parliament House is home now to "new age curries" and the trendiest restaurants of the moment (Graze and One Rochester) are in the old British army barracks of Rochester Park, in what is now a hi-tech district called one-north.

The Convent of the Holy Jesus, a school for girls, has been restyled Chijmes and serves up Kahlua-spiked tiramisu.

Even table-top dancing and bungy jumping have been made legal in a city that only two years earlier banned Cosmopolitan magazine and Sex and the City.

The effect is uncannily like that in the classic movie scene: a prim, law-abiding young lady takes off her glasses, shakes loose her hair and shows us what she's been made of all along.

Singapore may not be the wildest place in the world, but these days, as I return to it once or twice a year, I can't help feeling that makeovers are its latest love. Connaught and Havelock, Draycott and Cairnhill - the sonorous old British names still toll above the flower-filled roads cutting through parks and over the spicy backstreets, but what fill those same streets more and more seem to be "royal Thai spas", collagen parlours and bust-enhancement centres that give a curious literalism to the sense of a place that is redoing itself in styles as bold as its colours, as international as its markets and as seductive as its tropical air.

Earlier this year, as I wander around the huge Marina Bay Sands casino and adjoining mall, I wonder if the place that has always seemed the counter-Las Vegas, an artificial city committed to learning and to discipline, has now done a dramatic U-turn.

Singapore and its four million people have long been a handy way of taking the measure of Asia, or at least its dreams. For almost 150 years it was, of course, the classic British port, founded by Stamford Raffles, rich with green lawns and tropical law courts, and carefully segregating its races into the areas now known as Chinatown, Little India and Arab Street.

In the last three decades of the past century it stood, high and shining, for the gleaming but often repressive transnational city of the moment.

Now, however, having opened up to the cultural globe while still preserving what it calls "Asian values", and having decided, it seems, that it has to keep up with the Bangkoks and Shanghais of the world, it seems to be turning into a model of the Asian city of a very new kind of future.

Any fun ideas for a baby shower party? | FunPrep.com

We are playing this game at my shower where you get 4 diapers and number them 1-4 on the outisde.. then you get 4 different types of chocolate candy bars (we are using a hershey bar, a york mint patty, a snickers, and a butterfinger).. you melt a little bit of the candy and make it look like poop and put a little in the each of the diapers.. the guests have to pass the diapers around and guess what type of candy it is based on smell and looks but they cannot taste it. Whoever guesses the most right wins.

We’re also doing the one where you guess how much toilet paper you n eed to go all the way around mommy’s belly.. whoever comes the closest wins.

In this game you fill up a number of bottles “depending on how players you have” lets say you have 5 competitors you give all 5 the baby bottles to drink the trick to this is that the whole must be very tiny so its hard to suck out they will all be seated in a row in front of the crowd to make sure they don’t cheat. You can also be creative lets say if you are having a girl use pink lemonade juice or if you’re having a boy use blueberry cool aide or anything blue who ever finishes first wins You will need a baby bag and put a bunch of baby accessories (pacifier, bottles, diapers, wipes, etc.) anything you can think of that you need for a baby bag. Put the baby bag on a table or floor (where ever the guest can see it) and take out all the things from the bag. Have them look at it for 2-5 minutes and put it away. Each player will have to memorize what’s in the bag and whoever has the most items memorized wins. Bake cupcakes of any flavor. When done place a small baby doll (usually found at craft stores) inside one of the cupcakes then frost them . Upon arriving at the shower make sure everyone receives a cupcake ”let them pick it” . At any time during the shower tell everyone to eat their cupcake. The person who has the baby in their cupcake wins a prize.
