heh heh ... here's one who's speaking! 
KC - did u inform elmobbger for me?
tks!
== update ==
finally got a huge load off my shoulders...
i got dean into the kindy of my choice!
Had to register yesterday morning, and had nightmare that i was #5 in the queue.
So i dug myself up at 5am (instead of the intended 4am) and got there by 6am (no thanks to a very sleepy toddler and a less-than-ready helper).
ARGHSSSSSSSSSS i was #4 in the queue!
PANIC ... what if what if what if!
Was kind to #3 - who didn't bring ANY of the required documents or $ for the registration. After some chatting, i REGRETTED telling her!
Cos she mobilised her family for the stuff, and she's vying for the same morning session with me!
ARGHSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I shouldn't have told her!!!
Anyway, i'm kind. Forget it. What's mine will be mine.
4 classes, 24 todds each. 2 sessions per day.
Finally, after a long 2.5hour wait, registration started.
Only 9 vacancies available for the morning session. I'm IN !!! YAY !!!
(Unfortunately, #3 in the queue got the first spot, but heck...i'll just avoid her at parent-teacher meetings...)
Thanked my lucky stars that were now hidden by fluffy clouds. One foot in, at least my subsequent children will get priority enrolment next time. YAY !!! Mission accomplished!!!

Tks joann, KC and yuru.
No lah .... pri 1 is still far away. but having said that, the kiasu syndrome has kicked in.
Got to find pri schools that have affiliations to sec school, whether alma mater alumni's have a min # years membership before you get priority enrolment etc the list goes on. My head swells just thinking of it.
Congrats joann! what's impt is that the baby and mommy are healthy!

mummies, what say you?
what would you do if a friend/acquaintance does/says someting which you disapprove of infront of your kids and theirs?
and you do not want to dispute that in front of the kids (else their own kid will go huh? and the parent/caregiver lose face?). yet you dont want to confuse your own kid?

Lachesiz,
You know I'm no good at such things but what I will do is:
1) Quickly find an excuse to bring kid away from the friend / acquintance, eg to go toilet, so that kid will not get maximum impact on the wrong message
2) Explain to kid in private that what is said or done is not right
3) Distract kid with something else, so that kid will possibly forget the wrong message, after all, they have short attention span now
Just my 2 cents lah, but I must stress I'm usually rather bad at this...

Lachesiz dear,
Unfortunately we are 2km away from that particular branded primary school, no chance to be classmates with Aaron (Mapleleaf) lah! Sob!
Got branded kindy meh? Oh no, I am so clueless, which one? Email me please. I go q tomorrow morning.
The branded Sec and JC hor, seriously I dun think RY can make it there, heheh!
Sigh!
Hey! You wanna shift over to be neighbour with me?

Lachesiz:
the sotong in me probably wouldn't have heard it or even realise it. so erm, my reaction is NIL.
but if i were to hear it (tho i dunno what it constitutes that i disagree that other parents agree to) - i guess i will talk to dean later when we are alone.
KC:
eh no joke k ... alma mater alumni DOES state min # years membership before you qualify for priority enrolment.
and and if you are thinking of volunteering either with the school or grassroots, do it at least 2-3 years advance if its a popular school you're gunning for. i'm serious!
KC:
ya boy, you need not and SHOULD NOT shift. You're in prime school-land!!!
Mngo:
no lah, not KC's fault. I started it cos i super kiasu!
Joann / Lachesiz:
WHOALAMAK!!! 10kg?!?!?? u serious or not?
natural delivery? she must have torn in every direction with or without episotomy!
I only recall a 7kg brazilian woman who delivered by caesarian cos she didn't control her gestation diabetes. Man, the baby was BIGG..
Joann:
actually i think it runs in your kids genes.
No offence, but when i saw Ju for the first time, i thought he was at least 1 year older than the other kids! He's tall and well-built ie broad shoulders, feet bigger than the other kids etc. So i think he may have inherited the ang mo genes - ie big bones and tall.
Actually look at me ... i'm actually big-boned, not fat ....
HAHAHAHAHAH ok ok, no more excuses for my fats...
Just kidding!

Receive this email from a friend.
I don't know how true it is or is it another marketing ploy but no harm FYI.
Sorry, no graphic for this one, and don't laugh, it works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council who discovered it aren't sure why.
To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief.
Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescriptions cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on behalf of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like accupressure. I Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened.
It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition, it has a
soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly .
Lolly tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. Her coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep,( incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough free for hours every night that she used it.
So, if you have children, pass it on, if you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect

TBL:
oh dear, pls take care! think the serum cannot be used now since your wound is still raw. gotta wait for it to be fully healed first before you use the serum.
VICKS:
wow, i had NO IDEA that vicks works that way too!
my remedy for cough is to apply vicks generously at the throat and chest. works wonders but may require occasional re-application thru the night.
for adults, the simpler & equally effective method is to plaster on a piece of koyok at the chest to stop the cough at night.
Tks for the tip!
Anymore good ones to share?
