Hi Cheer, I know a number of my colleagues who are near 60 and they are still very energetic. So you will definitely not be a burden to your kids at that age ! You can withdraw your CPF at age 55. So if you have more than your minimum sum in your CPF account, you can withdraw it and use it...

Hi mommies, I have been reading the posts but no time to write, quite busy with family and work. Hi snowball, Have you got your new maid yet ? I understand how you feel. I still cannot do without a full time maid now. My mother is getting very old. My kids have CCAs which means someone...

Hi snowball, Your maid is really very forward looking. It's hard to decide whether to employ her auntie's daughter because you have never met her before. If you get a maid from an agency, there is also no guarantee that you will get a good maid. Hiring a maid is like gambling, you just...

Hi snowball, I haven't stay at Karon beach before, may be you can try tripadvisor to view customer reviews : http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g1215780-Karon_Phuket-Hotels.html Yes I have been reading a lot of free online novels on my ipad :P, may be that's one reason why I wake up easily...

Hi Diana, Snowball, No problems and no stress leh. My kids are now older and very independent, I am quite relax now compared to a few years ago. My work is also quite easy. I normally wake up after only 4 to 5 hours of sleep, then feel very tired the next day, sian... Hi snowball, It's that...

Hi mommies, I keep waking up at 3 to 4 am at night and find it very difficult to go back to sleep again. Anyone has this problem ? Is it because I am getting old

Hi poohy, After 四五快读， my kids read a few picture books before moving on to 杨红樱 books. We started off with some of her books which are easier than 马小跳. At first there was about 10% of the words which they do not know, but they are able to learn many new words as they read.

Hi Helen, Hope that your gal has recovered by now. The government only talks about increasing the number of childcare centers in order to boost birth rate, they neglected the fact that when kids get sick then parents need to stay home to look after them. Which employer is so kind to let...

Hi mommies, A very belated 恭喜发财 I was busy with exams last few weeks.

poohy, The amount of homework varies every day, sometimes more than 50 pages. Yes I ask my kids to read Chinese books out loud to me, they are reading the 马小跳 novels now. They completed the 四五快读 books at P1, so they know most of the words.

Hi snowball, Good to know that your DD enjoyed school I give $3 to each kid everyday. They save $1 in their piggy bank and take $2 to school. I allow my kids to buy drinks like milo in school. If you ask your DD to drink only from the water bottle, than $1.50 is definitely enough. Here...

Hi Helen, Your girl is also attending P1 this year ?

Hi Leereiner, My boy used to like the Astrosaurs, Jack Stalwart books, and Stink books by Megan McDonald. These books are easy to read, they are chapter books but less wordy compared to Enid Blyton. After finishing these books he read many other books independently, including the first 4 books...

Hi Helen, mumusings, My kids learned counting by watching Richard Scarry Best counting video. The Leapfrog math circus DVD gives a good explanation of the meaning of zero, and the math adventure DVD teaches counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. I think these dvds really helped because I spent very...
