Hi Isabella! If he doesn't have phlegm, it could be too dry for him to be sleeping in aircon room. Or too cold? you mentioned he coughs too even when he sleeps in a room with a fan on. Try switching it off in the middle of the night (Set timer?). What my mom recommends is to boil red...

Hi mommies from this thread! Does anyone know anything about the affiliation in Christian Brothers Schools? e.g. if dh is an old boy of St Michael, does that mean our son can be considered under Phase 2A2 registration at De La Salle Pri? Or if dh is from De La Salle Pri, can our son be under...

Hi Isabella, does he sleep in an air-con environment? does his cough have phlegm? do you always doctor hop after each medication? I know my kids always end up with a cough with an "overdose" of grapes. Think some old folks would say some fruits are too "liang" (cold). for my kids...

hi ky! thanks! think quite "gian" for it already... many friends have also recommended it.

Hi Pris! Thanks for the compliment. Well, thing with my girl is that she's able to do it, but she's either too lazy or too fussy about the toilet-cleaniness (i.e. when we are out, she won't do it if she feels that the toilet isn't up to her standard of hygiene). Or so I observed over the...

Hi ky! Lilian just bought a new tiny notebook from Acer. Check out her blog. She's the queen of comparison! Mommies, still haven't any idea which school to put my son in. We thought of SJI Jr. But they haven't got back to us after my hubby has written in. It would be our third gen...

Hi Serenade! You can view the photos on FB. Do you have one? Provence and Cote d'Azur are lovely: Lavender - checked, sunflower - checked, cicada - checked! Kids enjoyed loads of stuffs: perfume factory, lavender museum, wine cellar tour, dipping in river, the Mediterranean beach...

Hi Serenade! Where's B now for K1? The church kindy near your place?

hi joyful2! as your nick implies, you must be quite a cheerful soul. so don't let the exam stress get to you so quickly, ya? during my school days, I'd like to imagine what the test/exam questions would be. Some people would say I was spotting questions. But I'd like to think that I was...

Hi moo87! Think I'll definitely heed your advice! ;)

Hi Pris! Really admire your diligence in packing and watch me procrastinate until the eleventh hour! Besides, I really would like to enjoy the good weather now and my less than 6 months left here than to be thinking about packing all the time or doing the packing instead of say, picking...

Hey Pris! I need your packing advice.. before I even embark on this huge task, you're relocating twice! You're definitely an expert here. When I think of the move, my blood pressure will shoot up, my head will start throbbing, my breath becomes shorter and I can feel my house spinning...

Hi Serena! Forgot to mention another author I personally like a lot: Leo Lionni. Esp like the titles "Alexander and the Wind-up Mouse", "Fish is Fish", "It's mine", "A Color of His Own". At one time, I remember my kids and I were devouring the whole stash in the library. Another...

For a group read, I would really suggest Julia Donaldson. Her books are written in rhymes, some can even be sung! Check out her gruffalo website. There are songs. I particularly like "Sharing a Shell". My kids want me to sing it every time we read it. One of the grouses of having to read...

Gee, Serena... I feel flattered. But I think Serenade and Alcovelet pick out really great books too. Serenade will recommend you the thehomelibrary.com. There are good children's books reviews there. My choice of books... to my surprise, turns out pretty well with my own brood. It's only by...

Hi ky! Where's the trial? Pm me the details, can? B will be thrilled to do tennis on a regular basis. In fact, I was looking for a class for him here... but the hassle of having to send him to class on days when the car isn't available and if it pours, hails, snows or sleets... well, not...
