out of many photos, why u post tat! tat's the outing i desperately wanted to go yet could not make it . damn sad
 
My my. I can't imagine we have come so far. Time really flies. Looked how our little babies have grown. The 1st thing i spotted was shermyn's super chubby face then! how i missed her chubby cheeks. =)

We will be at BG but dun think we can get anywhere very near the Symphony Stage to watch the performance as it will be packed and the slope is also quite steep. Will probably just find a less crowded grass patch for the kids to roam around safely.

Oh yes, we must remember to take a GROUP picture ok!
Though it could be an uphill task this time with our todds getting distracted and running all over the place.

lachesiz:
OH that picture!! Look at the todds, they were still babies then!!!
i miss those days when parties meant the mommies could sit &amp; chat, and the babies were only crawling!!

birkenstock:
ordering asap lor, i gan cheong.
latest latest end of 1st week sept.



seagal:
the price on the website is before the 10% discount.
prices depends on the model you choose.
The common ones, ie the madrid and the gizeh, are approx S$70+.
The florida is around S$80+.

have you tried them before? they are really v v v comfortable.

oooh kids size ah ... what's your feet size by local shoe size?
i think their kids size follow adult measurement, equivalent to our local adults' size 2-5.
I suppose you can fit into the kids size if you have small feet???

by the way, if you are keen to buy your first pair, may i suggest that you go down to their boutique to test out the following:
(a) design eg madrid, gizeh, florida etc
(b) size
(c) width: regular or narrow

re the holiday checklist, SURE! i'm more than happy to share, but dun regret ah ... i am SUPER KS!!! carry a million things there, and a million things back.....hahahaha
 
Opps!

Congrats to all new mummies and new mummies-to-be!

Thanks to the "wake up e-mail/sms" by KC and LL, I'm back! It's been a hectic few months with me working day and night and neglecting my lil' pumpkin. She said to me today: "Mummy is a goodbye girl" and I just felt so bad. I hardly have any time for her and when I see her for a few seconds in the day before I rush off, she only hears the all familiar "Bye Bye Baby. Mummy's gotta go to work now." I wish life could be normal for me, but things never seem to turn out that way. *sigh*

I glanced through the archived pages and saw how all the babies here have grown. Most notably, Steffi, Declan, Dean and Cindy look so much bigger now! Alas, JinJin still looks the same. Do you guys have trouble getting your babies to eat? My maid tells me that JinJin takes hrs to finish her meal, if at all. She either avoids the approaching spoon or she'll spit everything out. When you ask her what she wants to eat, she'll tell you "Keropok!" She's surviving on crispy, deep-fried food, ice cream and anything not nutritious. She takes after me!

Dentally, she's rather slow. Still no molars yet.

Mentally, she's doing quite ok. She used to be such a silent baby (no cooing or babbling until she was about 10 mths old), so much so that I thought she was mute, but she's talking fine now. It seems as if she skipped the cooing and babbling stage, and went straight into the talking and reading aloud stage after she turned 1. She understands English, Chinese and a smattering of Bahasa and Teochew, and enjoys translating from one language to another.

She's got quite a good memory. Sometime before National Day, she pointed to the sky and said "Helicopter". I asked her what that was in Chinese and she couldn't tell me. I gave her the answer once, and when I asked her the question 3 days later, she could tell me accurately. Recently, my dad drew some shapes on her magnetic board and she could answer "pentagon, trapezium, parallelogram". Her lack of teeth doesn't make her pronunciation great though...

She's very cheeky. When we tell her not to do something, she'll do it intentionally, then smile and say "Purposely". Yesterday, I left my cup of water on the coffee table. She rushed to it, drank from it and spilt the bulk of the contents on herself and the table. My maid shouted "Naughty JinJin!" and JinJin answered "No, no, big mistake!", laughed and ran off.

She kicked her tutu habit several months ago. Diaper-wise, she's still not toilet trained! She'll let us know if she wants to poo, but not when she wants to pee. TBL, help help help!

Have you guys started your babies on playgroups or playschool? JinJin's still attending Shichida classes, but her class has shrunk from 6 to 3 kids and the other mummies aren't keen to continue. I'd like her to have as much interaction as possible with other children, so I thought a playgroup or playschool would be more suitable. Does anyone have any recommendation for such groups or schools?

We'd love to join you guys for the Botanic Gardens outing. My vote goes to 4 pm Sunday. Will there be a picnic? If you guys bring the food, I'll bring the wine. For the mothers-to-be and lactating mothers, I'll bring something else. Will bottled green tea do?

As for pix, I haven't got any recent ones to share. Jen, sorry, I know you've been waiting for the pix which were taken at the last gathering. I've reminded my hubby many times, but he's an infamous procrastinator.

On a rare occasion when my hubby and I had a pocket of time on a weekday, we took JinJin to the beach at Desaru. My goodness, that place is such a ghost town now. Many of the resorts have closed and we were the only people on the beach, which was nice.

Hi <font color="ff0000">YYP</font>, it's really good to hear from you and your updates on JJ.

Wow .... JJ really didn't disappoint us... her speech and language development is amazing and very advanced!

LOL at her licking the ice kachang ! That's a precious pic!

Diet-wise, we are still very vigilant about giving shermyn table or junk foods. she gets to eat a few bites of french fries and chips (very occasionally), sip some green tea, eat a meal of yong tau foo with rice or spaghetti, snack a few spoons of chicken pie and that's all.

we might be a bit paranoid and extreme but our reasoning is that she will get all her time in the world to eat those unhealthy/junk foods when she grows up so it's important to help her establish healthy eating habits now in order to build a good foundation.

what is JJ eating at home for her meals ? Could her rejection be due to her getting sick of the same old porridge,etc ?

<u>Playgroups</u>
A handful of our todds here are attending PGs like Growing Up Gifted, Kindermusik, Zoophonics and Baby Jumper Gym. Let us know if you want to find out more.

I think Pat's Schoolhouse is not bad too. Have yet to check it out though.

Do take care and come in to our forum when you have the time. I saw the bbbc website and it was really cool!! Both u and hubby are really doing a great job running the hostels/club!

I'm sure JJ will be a sensible gal and will understand her mummy one day. Besides, when your bizs are more established, you would have more time to spend with her in future! =)
 
Opps sorry, I forgot that I have a training course to attend on 23 Sep.

Anyway, looks like most mummies are voting for the evening slots.

YYP,
Your post perks me up and put a smile on my face!
Its always great to read your post and updates on JJ. Its no wonder why JJ is nick "Scholar JJ".
She's so amazing and getting so cheeky! so cute!

She looks chubby and cute in her 2 pc!
Her cheeks are forever so rosy.
Some kids go through a phase whereby they only eat certain items, rejecting past loves.
as long as shes still drinking her milk, should be ok?
You will be spoilt for choices for preschools around your place!!! But many has a wait-list.
I can email you some 'popular'/'better' preschool choices around your area.

Hope to see you at Botanical Garden!
 
YYP:
*jaw drop* Jin Jin IS not just a scholar, she's a child prodigy!!!

Pat Schoolhouse:
I just attended a trial at halifax road, called D'Story Club. 1.5hours playgroup, but i wasn't impressed.
The program was as follows:
Free play (30mins)
Welcome song &amp; story telling
Art &amp; craft
Wash hands
Snack time
Wash hands
Free play at playground
Wash hands
Farewell song + wash off tatoos.

That's all. I wasn't impressed cos the entire classful of kids weren't captivated by the teacher nor the activities.

Price wise, slightly cheaper than kindermusik except for the hefty $105 registration fee.
 
Huh? How come my name is disappear from the list???

How can your forget abt me?

YYP: thanks for the offer of wine! *hic*
guess it won't be a big time picnic affair esp if its held in the evening, cos we also intend to troop over to tanglin mall macdonalds after that.

Seagal: oh yes, timberland IS good. I used them for many years too, but unfortunately their slippers aren't half as quriky as the Birkenstock papillio range. that's how i became a convert!
Timberland also gave me some blisters during the run-in period, birks didn't!
(alamak, i sound like a birk ambassador!)

The service at the birks boutique sucks cos they know we're just there to test sizes! heee
happy.gif

you can find their outlets at Wheelock place, Tanglin Mall and Raffles City (basement 1).

Lemme know your decision asap, cos i want to place my orders by the end of 1st week sep.
I have only 2 slots avail.

Lachesiz, you ordering?

I hope not to exceed S$400 otherwise we'll have to pay GST.
 
YYP,
Im so impressed of Jin Jin latest developmental milestones esp her speech!!

Cody,
Sounds good! Which range is the popular one? Can post pics here? Sorry, I didnt use them before.
crazy.gif
 
YYP....WOW....how I envy JJ...Stef still not talking, jus do her movement instruction instead. Whenever she wants something, we always made her say out loud but she jus refused!!!
 
Shoes:
I beg to differ..i gave timberland many chances.. not durable and not v comfy.
i think my old doc martens were more comfy :p


cody,
will pass. just busted potato's piggy bank. her gu-ni money not enough.
and most prob i will end up with another pair of clogs.. those sandals too dainty for me.
 
Lach,
i think it depends on which range u r referring to for Timberland. I can't comment on their mocassins but I adore their leather sandals esp. the rubber footbed!

Cody,
ok, will let u know asap. thanks!
if eve au can confirm orders fast, i will give it a pass this round.
