Taipei was fantastic esp in terms of family life there
Away fr stresses and strains of SG haha.
I leaving for BKG tmrw nite. Hoping for a smooth trip. One kid is still feverish (langga bacteria) -- been a week liao, groan. Worse come to worse, i will have to pump him with paracetemol prior to clearing customs hurhur. Hand sanitisers on standby too...

Bboomer71,
hahaha...I am not so 'happening' lar. Those skills are part of my national service training
My life is on my family, my career, and my car, like any Singaporeans. The topics that the kids learnt about were general knowledge, which I find it interesting too. Something away from the mainstream syllables. Hope you enjoy your BKK trip
TLL,
Wait till Adrian is older, will send him to TKD, maybe.

Hi Alicia's Daddy,
Happy Father's day! I see...
. Guess i said "cheam" coz when i try to broach these topics with my 5 year old, i can't really tell if he really gets it or not. But you are right. Got to start somewhere, step by step
Sometimes even when they seem to not listen, they will surprise you later with their knowledge coz we planted the seed rt.
Here's a px of my kids having fun at Bangkok airport (when they're not fighting haha). Had a good time even though kids'viral fever continued on and off
. Best part was spending quality time with them lor. Even though mummy (as expected) did not get to shop much (actually i just bought 2 small items for myself, excluding gifts. Pathetic considering all that shopping there!). Cheers!

Wising all daddies a happy fathers' day
Bboomer71
Thanks
Looks like the BKK trip was fun. What's the name of your 2 kids? They are lovely.
You are right abt the quality time. Family trip is all about spending quality time together
Hope the virus goes away quickly.
We went to Malacca A Farmosa sometime last year when Alicia was down with fever too. Spend most time in the hotel, but it was fun driving up and spending time together as a family.

I used to be quite open. But these days with all those stories abt cyber identity theft and stalkers, i'm not entirely comfortable with revealing too much personal info on an open forum. But i'm quite active on Facebook (can set privacy settings better). So PM me if you have an account!
Anyway, my son LOVES Ben 10. It all started with a Nintendo set Granny bought. I bought the game cartridge though... Bit violent, but i think everyone is entitled to their passion! So i jus control the amount of time he spends (weekends only) and try to tap on that. (Going over Ben 10 comic books with him, getting him to read here and there).
It's a 2.5 year gap for my kids.
They are very close and loving. But fight a lot too. Gal is hot-tempered. The Thais were laughing at them fighting haha.
B2,
Are you guys from the civil service? I used to be work for the 'gahmen'.;P
Sanrio,
My kid is not a leftie but he still reverses his letters and numbers occasionally. At first i worried dat he is dyslexic. But as he seems to be improving on his reading/writing otherwise, i shud think he'll grow out of it. I put my gal in Chinese enrichment class. Find it hard to teach her cold on my own. She will say "busy", "don't want", "stop"!!!!

Did you travel by SQ to BKK? They have Ben10 activities pack for children
Couple of us are in FB.
Sanrio,
With the increasing nbr of H1N1 cases, maybe defer travelling for a while, probably until the vaccine is readily available (in another 1-2 months time bah)

Not much changes so far, they have pulled CEs from clinics to do your kind of work now. U shld try sounding out your ex-boss, u have his e mail, right?
Bbommer,

Haha!! U dont sound like a CS, watever dat means (these days, CS less terrok)... Thot somebody mentioned MOH? Maybe i read wrongly, a lot of posts and i only jus joined, heehee.
A's dad,
Last nite I played Nite at the Museum (the original) video after dinner for the kids. They enjoyed it, esp my boy. But after that they both had nitemares in their sleep! Guess it's all the beasts and warriors in the show ;P
I quite worn out pandering to the 2 brats since they have been on home quarantine on Monday. Trying not to fall back on TV (except for Ben 10 at 7 pm on TV ;P, and video for my gal when i get the older one to do homework)
.
Hmm... wonder wat to do dis weekend.... But have to avoid too crowded places like ball room and playground with all this H1N1 going round...

Hi EASY,
I totally agree! Does not help that mummy here also trying to avoid the sun (photo-aging!) The last time i did a 'trek' at Bukit Timah nature reserve, my son asked loudly for air-con. So embarassing... In Taipei (family based there for 2 years), weekends are commonly spent going trekking up hills and moutains.

When my dd was sick, doctor also advised against going aircon places as that's where most easy to catch virus, what more during this H1N1 period. Go to the beach and breathe in the fresh air, apprarently children with asthma encouraged to do that, something about the free ions

Unfortunately, the best thing about the shopping centre is that you can carry the kids (when they refuse to walk) without sweat. Imagine have to carry them when you are on a trail..hahaha...

I think it really depends on the initiatives of the air steward/stewardess, but recently, I noticed they are lacking in this (for the kids). Maybe to save cost??? hahaha...you should tell them you would like to Ta Pao
Wah, that is a very long time ago since you went to the zoo.

giggler,
according to my neighbour,
it's not necessary to go dentist,
unless it's painful.
Or you can use the good old "thread tie behind door" method.

Guess what, Sarah's 2 bottom incisors dropped 2-3 months ago, and permanent teeth have started to come in already. And
i thought that Ben had knocked her teeth out!

Hi Koala,
Yes, my kids attended preschool in Taipei. The school provided a very loving environment. I sense that here is more focused on academic work. Benefit i guess was that my older kid comfy speaking Mandarin.
Anyway, after 6 mths of drilling in worksheets etc. in school here, my kid is getting the hang of things lah.
So early change teeth already? Hmm...
You guys met? Wud b nice to put a face to the names.
But venue preferably no sun hurhur!

Actually this thread not too bad. Think it is normal that pple come and go. At least, some of us will write in once in a while. Still moving... Many of the threads on this forum look lagi dead haha. Everyone is so busy -- hey, we are the pple with young kids! I also jus started my part-time job. Spending free time catching up on reading in the field. So dont think i will initiate to organise for now ;P. Maybe at later date! Hope you guys still chatting here then
On Maths... hmm... am thinking of putting my kid in Kumon nex year. Think good to train him in independent learning
As for the new method of Maths eg. number bonds, box diagrams... actually i feel that it makes more sense than teaching algebra etc. like how we did it. Just buy some assessment books with model answers or research on mummy fora, can get hang of it -- for dose parents who need help
. Ya, but overall, you and i also know that stds are crazy high and jus too much focus on grades. But wat to do? We Singaporeans, have to hurry hurry, adapt to change and stress, sigh...

Hehehe, coping with 3 is not easy. I just live day to day. Try to keep them to a schedule, especially the older 2. I have a PT helper who comes fortnightly to dust and do major cleaning. I've recently bought 2 house cleaning robots to help me with the floors. I drag all 3 along to the market with me once a week. My parents help out with Ben when I bring Sarah to gymnastics on Tuesdays, but on Fridays, I drag all 3 along too. Hubby helps to bath the kids when he comes home from work so that I can complete the dinner cooking. I do ironing after they sleep.
Got the idea??
