Hi Pauline/Iso, SM is going to K's school next year. I won't change lah cos I want the two girls to go to school together. She's going to Btw 2 Trees at Dunearn road now. The school will move to 6th Ave in August so she will change from afternoon to morning session. Infact, I will keep...

Oh wow, congrats Isobellies! #3 girl or boy? Just read your posts on your blog. Good job on the SAHM one. Been busier being a mumpreneur than a worker bee but one thing for sure, the flexi hours, the ability to just take off and bring dd for swimming or music or play without applying for...

Hi mommies, Long time no "see"! *wave* I really miss this forum. Havent checked in for a long long time and I see some mommies are going for #3!! Apple, way to go!!! It's a nice number to hv and I truly enjoy watching the kids play together. I would love to have too but I guess with...

QL, I hear that if wanna do PV, should contact the schools to check which ones accept PV. Some have long waiting lists just to do PV. Some don't even entertain PV.

XY, I think I'll need to hire an intern to sort out my photos and do up the photobook! haha. Just 4 years, 2 kids and (I think) some 35000 photos. Full time job man!

Hi XY, whipping cream is quite fattening actually. hehe, i had to consciously stop doing milky loaf. Am also trying to restart my baking machine. Last few weeks been buying commercial loaf bread, too lazy to bake. where did you get the photobook from? i went through your album of C&C...

Hi mummies, Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2012 for all mommies and children! Our kids will be 4 soon, how time flies! Xiaoyun, no need oil for hokkaido milk bread. I notice most hokkaido milk bread recipes use milk or whipping cream, never oil. Oil most for cakes and muffins...

XY, the zoji home baker makes 1lb loaves so usually my measurements for flour should not exceed 2 cups of flour or 250g. this just a guide from my experience. QL, invest in a good bread knife! It will make slicing easier. I do find the Zoji recipes quite hard too. In fact, the first time I...

XY/QL, Tangzhong method is by far the best to produce soft, fluffy bread that lasts 3-4 days. My mother uses 1 tablespoon of TZ in every Zojirushi recipe and she likes the result (but not me cos I like to try non-Zoji recipes). Just sharing this recipe (non-TZ) that worked very well...

XY, I use instant yeast too. Maybe you should check freshness of your yeast. Put a bit in some lukewarm water. If it frothes and bubbles, it is fresh. Yes, too much yeast can cause yeasty smell and sour-tasting bread. Instead of putting more yeast, try half teaspoon more sugar.

XY, I replied to your SMS immediately leh. Something wrong with Singtel?? I will add yeast according to recipe. Whole sachet is too much liao. Usually 4g of yeast for loaf bread. I find that sugar is the thing that makes the bread rise. Not so much the yeast. Baby_yun, thanks for...

baby_yun, were you the one who emailed SGTC? if you are, then you have the reply already yes? eliaw, haven't allowed the girls to open their pressies yet but sounds great this tumbler gift! thanks for the cupcakes too! I ate them. haha. not the girls.

Hi tong, I also realized we didn't take a grp photo! Thanks for hosting the party Eliaw! Is it too late to join the 3 little pigs? I'm ok with proposed day/time. If too late, it's ok.

Hi eliaw, The balloons are $1.50 each. Not likely to bring a water bouncy as there are several parties that day. But an extra set of clothes + towel is a good idea. They will play until sweat. Eliaw, text me your add ok? We will be there at 3 to set up. See you all on Sat!

Hello from Tokyo! Eliaw, I also can't go tomorrow for Jack&B. Hb also cannot, so MIL will bring. I've given her your mobile number and told her to wait 9.45 outside the theatre. mummies, I can go along with door gifts and other ideas. Do you want balloon for each kid? I have...
