Toy r us has....some kiddy shops at IMM level 2 also have and Kiddy Palace might have....but you have to buy a nos. of pieces and join them together to get the desired length......I used to have one for my kitchen and I only need to buy 1 extra pc....

If it is going to be a permanent fixture, then go to those who sells gate. I believe they can tailor made to desired length and height...Anyway, gate installed can be torn down very easily also...just need some touch up on walls thereafter.

precious, of course i hope to take them out in a couple of years when the kids know the danger of going out to the balcony, that's why i tot of just buying a safety gate. those pressure mounted ones will be easy to take out.
anyway, maybe like what bbgrace said, may have to consult some ID... sigh...

wah...what an experience earlier. wen went into the lift and the lift door closed before I could go in. pressed lift button from outside still cannot open (doors not fully closed yet).
she went up 3rd floor by herself.... cried and cried. i asked an auntie to stay outside the lift in case she comes down with the lift, whilst i ran upstairs. before i reached, auntie shouted to me that she is down. wah...... scared the hell out of her man! and me of course. can u imagine how mnay floors i have to run if the lift stops at top floor????!!!!! sigh.... anyway, taught her to press "1" if it happens again... cos she is not tall enough to press "12" (my flat level).
hopefully she will understand.

Thankfully, there's one helpful auntie....good that she is ok.
Don't press button, put your leg or hand or hard object before the door close....the sensor sense better this way...

jannie,
i agree with precious, stick out your hand or leg would be faster.
My kids learnt not to go in without us after an incident where the lift door closed with them and daddy inside, leaving me outside. Took the opportunity to teach them not to go in first so now they wait for one of us to go in first or go in together with them.
I've also told them that in the event if the door closes without mommy or daddy, to stay inside the lift. Do not run out even when the door opens cos the lift will eventually bring them to back to where mommy is. I don't want to run floor by floor hunting for them. But if it really happens, i wonder if they will remember that. haha!

no. saw smthg we thot we like, but SW facing n owner's asking dun match bank's valuation. in fact bank's valuation was the amt we were willing to offer. nvr mind. no loss to me.
re: trapped in lift
my kids r also learned not to go into the lift before us when the lift door open. they hv to wait for us to say ok. then they can go in. M can reach the button for our level, but not Jo.

I just sold my private property so am also looking around....I'm hoping that the prices to go down more....
I just sold my private property so am also looking around....I'm hoping that the prices to go down more....
i think the rising property prices is just a knee-jerk reaction because there were few new launches in the past half year. Now that there is some signs of optimism in the stock market, pple are going in to buy and the pent up demand with the short-term shortage of supply will push the prices up for a short while. My own sense is that this may not be sustainable.
Economists are still not very optimistic and we've not seen any signs of improvement in unemployment rate. There will be more properties getting TOP by year end or next year and these were the ones that were sold at the peak. There could be pple who may not be able to service the loan or secure a loan (esp those who bought on deferred payment scheme) upon TOP due to job loss or pay cuts and may be forced to sell them. May be worth the while to wait instead of rushing in when everyone is doing so.
This is just my 2 cents worth of assessment lah. There's no way to time it right.

there's a lot of "panic" buying at the new launches bcos a lot of pple r worried that prices will go up. that's why developers r also taking opportunity to raise prices. we r holding out now bcos some coy directors told mr pax that the economy will go down, recession to worsen nx yr...

Precisely, I share the same feelings as you... I took the opportunity to dispose off my CCK properties. I will continue to rent (rental is coming down now) if I can't get a property at an affordable price. I'm zooming in to look at a property having in mind a primary school for A.

i must ask those medicine coys to rename their non-drowsy flu formula to "wake me up" flu formula. i took their descriptions as they are, and took them before i went to bed because i do not want to be drifted into a deep slumber. but who knows, it resulted in 2 sleepless nights. then i went to read the ingredients only to find out they have caffeine in them!!!!!! that is how to keep the patients awake after taking the flu medicine... sigh.....so misleading, right?

i still bring cherylin into the cubicle with me, shawn too since he's still a toddler. for boy, i guess it's a bit more awkward to bring them with us. sometimes, hubby will bring cherylin to toilet with him (cos she wants daddy to bring). hubby will tell her to turn her head and face the door, cannot turn back. so far, she's quite obedient in this aspect.
pax
for me, hubby was from nanyang primary, so we paid $1k to join the alumni recently. can't believe our kids will be going to pri school soon.

Jannie,
I normally go toilet when Ashley needs to go & I'll "shun bian" release myself
Sometimes she'll go out of the cubicle to wait for me, sometimes she stays & i ask her to turn around (but she's NOT compliant & she'll be asking why why why incessantly that's very loud & embarrassing in the toilet). & of cos in the beginning there were really embarrassing qns she pop in the toilet, besides blood & pads!
Nowadays I'll just try to maintain her eye contact on my face/eyes & talk to her and finish & flush while seated so everything is gone by the time i stand up.

hey mummies, this mth's copy of young parents has a card that allows you to redeem a 500ml mineral botanical body wash from ahava worth $26 (only can redeem at the outlet at centerpoint).
i tried and it is really not bad. i think got extracts of mineral from the dead sea, etc etc. i was using this anti-bacteria body foam (reputable brand) and it COMPLETELY dries out my skin. my skin was flaking after a couple of weeks of using - and i dun sleep in air con!!! i tried this ahava body wash for only 2 days and the flaking is visibly under control, without the need to use a lotion after my shower.
anyway, it's a good exchange lah, cos YP magazine costs only $5. and they also give u additional $10 voucher to redeem on next purchase.
oh, and it is SLS and paraben free.

I have sold my property, thinking of buying one in Bt Batok within 1km to St Anthony, so St. Anthony could be the choice for my girl. But still thinking hard....
