angelia,
yikes! must add a disclaimer...
i'm not saying tat all PAP kindergartens r not gd. i guess even when my mum was in PAP or even if my mum didnt say dun send her grandson 2 PAP, we never consider sending gabe 2 PAP (despite a PAP opp my blk). i personally prefer church kindy or other private kindy.

Yingxin has been falling ill on alternate weeks and it always lasted a week ever since she attended playgoup
2 weeks ago, Yingxin fell ill again, had fever, flu and cough and it lasted for a week plus, the GP recommended that I pull her out from playgroup if she keeps having fever on alternate weeks to let her build up her immunity before sending her back to school
AC
of course remember lah!! else we would not smile at each other that day despite the mad crowd! hahahah

Doctors are telling us we may have reached a point if no return for Sabie. Her blood acid level keeps going up and her body tissues still not accepting the oxygen. Please pray a miracle because that is the only thing that can save her now. We will still have faith.
GOD PLS HEAR OUR PRAYERS!!

my girl is currently at PG under PAP. $160 per month, no need to pay fees in June & Dec cos they already divided it out into the 10 months fees.
nursery will be $70+ i think. don't have the fees off hand. it'll be 3 hrs daily session.

Sharon,
lovely pic of ur lovely girls. Shaynnen is growing up real fast, from the pic their size looks similar (but in real-life, of course can see the diff in ur tall Sharwyn)!
Peipei,
ur girl's flipped out hairstyle looks so cool, hehe.
Yah hor, I'm curious why PAP wld be more ex than nursery... err, is nursery = 2004 kids in kindy? Cos I *thought* my gal's kindy is $190/mth excl. misc etc, then "halved" using the younger boy's CDAC?

me also dunno why their pre-nursery is more than double of their nursery. maybe it's new? or they have lesser classes/students per class? they only have 1 class a session, each class is 12 kids, 2 teachers. but shanice's class only has 10 kiddos.
but nursery has to pay Supp fees of $40, which i'm not sure if that's monthly or yearly or what. the school fees is $72 for nursery - 3 hrs. and the pre-nursery is 2 hrs only!
<font color="aa00aa">pawprint,</font>
tods go to pre-nursery, nursery, K1, K2 then Pri 1.... guess we can say nursery = 2004 kids officially starting school.
what u mean by the fees is "halved" using the younger boy's CDAC? got discount ah?

SCHOOL- Just curious, anyone knows how much primary schools cost monthly ah? Its interesting how preschools cost so much more than primary and secondary sch lol 
Also, I realised that some N1s are only 2 hrs whereas others are 3 hours? I wonder what is the difference in terms of what they do?

Pre N or playgroups are more expensive due to the teacher- child ration I think.

No need to pay school fees for primary schools. Its free for all to encourage all to educate their child.
Chinese have to pay Miscellenaous fees. Malays enjoy that for free(I think). I think the school have a little autonomy in this area. So, a government school and a government aided school may pay a different amount. I hope this helps!

lil devil, wahaha this is one of Faye's fave activity too! Except that I am abit more anxious than you, so I will run alongside with her when sliding so that if she falls hopefully wont roll down the steps too much haha
But hor, actually I realised (read about this too) that for kids who are always given the freedom to explore and test their own physical limits, they rarely get into accidents this way because they are usually pretty agile and because they know their own physical limits well, they wont attempt to perform 'stunts' recklessly unless they are very sure that they can do it w/o endangering themselves.

Discipline
Gabby sometimes test my limits so I will sit him down and tell him what went wrong. Yesterday, when I was trying to tell him what not to do, he refused to look at me and listen. Instead, he just stood there and turned his face away! So infuriating. I often try my best to get him to look at me and listen when I discipline him. That way he will know what went wrong. Sigh. When will this ever end?

When will this ever end?
gabby, yar lor, this stage can be very trying at times. Maybe he is listening, but he just didnt wanna look at you? For us, there are especially difficult periods/phases wherby we keep having 'clashes' and I keep finding myself telling her several times a day what she did wrong, and its so frustrating for both of us- for me cause I really dont wanna be the naggy controlling mum, for her because imagine how she feels when she is being told all the time what she is doing wrong, and if she feels lousy then how to behave appropriately? So at one point I will usually make myself break the whole negative cycle and just focus on connecting with her and force myself to let go and not sweat the little things that wont hurt anyone. I find that after the connection is established again, she responds much better to me and my requests and sensitive to my feelings. This always works for us.

yah, i was so very *entertained* by her act!
angelia
theres so many things that quinn did will set me thinking "WHAT IF....." so i just need to let him explore when i'm around then. becos i know theres no way i can STOP all these so all i have to do is just to make sure i am there and hes aware of wat hes doing.
berry
ha!!!! they very flexi hor, can have PLAYGROUND anywhere wan yah, i also believe the theory but theres time when quinns blur and accident happens, but again i feel its still good to let them have more room for exploration and such and again, each time my heart really feel the squeeze and all i do is pray hard tat things wont go wrong and watch him closely.
and for the DISCIPLINE topic, sometimes i really soooo.... tired with all those "quinn, u see...." "quinn, please dun as u will...." "quinn, thats not the correct way..." and when i reach the peak of this, i will simply let go too. especially when i dun feel good *example like when im not well or mood swing* i will either care off him to my PIL since i know i cant PERFORM and while hes there, he will be happier with them to play with and without me around nagging non-stop. and for me, i can sort of break free from that situation and have some space for thinking. but i will only do this when im very very very very....... tired *as in mentally* but most of the time what i will do is i will just concentrate in QUALITY bonding and as for how can i do it at that point of time is i will try too SEE THE GOOD, IGNORE THE EVIL. and from there i can actually see things from a different view. i can even feel how fortunate to have him.
so i guess sometimes we really have to break away from the situation and step back. hubby will ask me how is it possible to do that when ones is being put in that situation *kids doing all the wrong things, whine for the whole day and such* so what i told him is *WE JUST GOT TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND TRY* oh yah, i also discover a way of changing our toddlers mood from SOUR to SWEET. whenever quinn woke up cranky and all, i will say "MORNING" to him with the whole of my heart! using very bright and happy tone. he will still continue BUT me too, with all those good good vibe and usually he will bounce back to a happy boy by noon!
and i even feel so very proud and happy that with my afford and method, hes able to get out of it quick. i believe no toddler actually enjoy their own NEGATIVE cycle too, just that they simply dun know how to bounce back.

lildevil,
Q's really cute in the sliding, hehe. Athena's rather cautious, even on regular slides- she uses her arms and legs to "hold" the sides, then wiggle her butt down. Rather than slide down with a "whoooosh!". But Irvin wld possibly like this... when he's ready, haha. By then my heart could possibly be more ready to accept too .
MILO question,
is Milo really undesirable for kids? Athena seems to be fixated on Milo, particularly the packaging logo (??? beats me!). It seems to be her FAVOURITE (requested) beverage, except we don't buy it to keep at home... so am wondering if it's really just sugar... would it be so bad to keep a tin of it at home?
Hmm my memory really failing me... I had another question but I can't remember what it is now.
