<font color="ff6000"> haha...bigtoes told me sasa commented in forum that i havent been posting. yeah, busy with the little monster these few days. not easy definitely. best time is when he sleeps (like now!). then i can get many things done and cook lunch (within half an hour! cos he usually...

<font color="ff6000"> u girls really can write, i had a hard time reading through the posts... glad most of u enjoyed the x'mas gathering. it was fun and enriching for me to know that one day my boy will grow up to be running here &amp; there! sunnysunny: glad u found your way. very difficult...

<font color="ff6000"> Jas: i think Rachael is really cute! i love her big big eyes! i always tell kieran to open his eyes big big, his eyes are so tiny, will disappear whenever he smiles. </font>

<font color="ff6000"> Aloysius: thanks for your advice. yeah, i'm thinking of getting an external flash, but got budget constraints, so have to wait until at least the economic crisis is over. will have to make do with what i have and improvise in the meantime. alabone: we make the boy do...

<font color="ff6000"> Aloysius: my place very dark, not much light into the house. the lights in the house are filament bulbs, so quite dim. i hate flash, like u, i prefer natural ambience light. but can't slow the shutter speed too much, since the boy keeps moving. if aperture is too wide, the...

<font color="ff6000"> yan: my mum also thinks it's weird to subject the baby to such "torment". but like Jas said, it's actually a form of exercise for the baby. as long as u dont make her do it right after a meal, i think it's perfectly fine. of cos must also make sure it's being done on a...

<font color="ff6000"> Sri Leo: he's 2 and half months old. Aloysius: hehe...thanks. i occasionally pinch his cheeks lah. most of the times his toes, cos they're super fat and round and cute. yan: initially kieran also couldn't do much, but bigtoes and i tried to make him do tummy time a...

<font color="ff6000"> kieran enjoys his tummy time!</font>

<font color="ff6000"> Flos: as i've mentioned earlier, i'll only use the cane if he does something seriously wrong, e.g. stealing. i don't condone irrational and excessive caning, too much caning or smacking will give the kid a wrong impression that violence is right and will solve everything...

<font color="ff6000"> ava: zohan is super duper hilarious! no sense, totally stupid, but it's really extremely funny! at least i find it so. haha. yeah, it's like borat. we watched bond yesterday, was only impressed by the action scenes. other than that, not worth the money. didn't even know...

<font color="ff6000"> sunrays: someone has got to be a "bad guy" when it comes to disciplining the kid. i've volunteered to be the one, cos i think bigtoes is too nice. for the good of the kid, i don't mind being the bad guy if he turns out to be a great person in future.</font>

<font color="ff6000"> xuanting: 养 means "bringing up", 不教 means "not teaching or disciplining", 过 means "fault". ava: thanks. now i feel so much better. haha...</font>

<font color="ff6000"> can't believe bigtoes revealed my deepest darkest secret of having a teddy bear... no, just to clarify, i'm not a fagala, i'm holding on to it cos that was a gift from bigtoes many many years ago.</font>

<font color="ff6000"> alabone: i'm very glad to know that u're teaching your kid good etiquettes! i totally salute that. i'm planning to teach my kid a lot of basic manners from young too, which i think the kids nowadays totally lack, such as addressing the people whenever he steps into a house...

<font color="ff6000"> xuanting: 养不教父之过 means it's the fault of the father if he fails to discipline the child. it comes from 三字经. i wouldn't use the cane unnecessarily too, unless the kid does something really bad, e.g. stealing, shoplifting. no parent will ever have the heart to hurt his/her...

<font color="ff6000"> alabone and SarahMay: i blame the lack of etiquette and manners on family upbringing. nowadays parents totally spoil the kids, treat them like little princes and princesses, and when these "royal blood" grow up, they become super self-centred and don't think about others. i...

<font color="ff6000"> Flos: not sure what material pupsik used for the beansprout pillows. bigtoes and i made one pillow each ourselves, using very thin cloth from my old shirts. i caught kieran once with the pillow on his face at night, and was so worried, but then after i removed the pillow...

<font color="ff6000"> just to inform the mums who will be bringing their toddlers or running kids to attend the xmas gathering, our humble little lodge has not yet been converted to a child-friendly home. there are <u>a lot</u> of potential hazards around that may cause injury (e.g. glass...

<font color="ff6000"> wow wow wow, the response for the xmas gathering is overwhelming!! haha. don't think our tiny little place can accommodate too many people. the 7-foot xmas tree already takes up half the living room's space! might have to limit the number soon before u mums have to queue...

<font color="ff6000"> Flos: red can't stay for long anyway, after a few days of washing then will fade. bigtoes always complains she can't retain her red. </font>
