CL,
Aden looks all grown up liao. So different from last time. I kinda miss their babyish looks.
mashy,
saw 4 houses last fri. 3 houses of 4-rooms and a 5-room. The 4-rooms ones cannot make it esp if you want more space. There's one unit 4-room valued at $420 and surroundings and condition aiyo! I wonder how come its $420 valuation!
The 5-room one...hmm..we quite like it. But its $500k, blk 19X. We felt comfy in the house and its very high floor. Has 4 bedrooms too.

That's nice. If it's Blk 19x, i think the price is ok coz it's very near central and esp since high floor. I think my place low floor already $500k valuation, but doubt anyone will wanna buy my place at that kind of price.
So even with high valuation also no use.

agree with CL, it's v important to be comfy when you step into the house. we visited 20+ houses and the one which we bought was one of the 1st few houses we visited. after we visited the house, no matter how many houses we visited after that, we still think of that house which gave us the most comfy feeling.

Hi Mummies,
I am back from Genting.
Happen to read Mashy's experience with the "I" and i have the same experience in Genting! Totally unexpected!!! looks like they are travelling everywhere.
The gals enjoy the trip because they have their cousins..... but in terms of lodging, rides, food - they definitely very much prefer USA.....
The weather is cooling but the smokers ruined everything........

great that the girls enjoy the trip. Sometimes no matter where you go company is the most important.

my hb mah fan wants near MRT because we probably have to stay for a long time and have to think of transport when Charmaine goes secondary school.
Ya hillview and bukit timah is out because he cursed and sweared every day when we go home.
Today he looked at queenstown area ha ha because we change our return route via river valley.

Your area about how much ?
Oily
My kids are with waterfun at NTU Alumni - 1 north near buona vista. I sign up for 1 term. 2 coach to 4 kids. With ikea discount i think 12 lesson $190 each child. I feel not bad. I no need to go down water with him. He will follow the coach instruction and always volunteer. For my girl who has great phobia of water, she has progressed as in she will have her whole body wet vs previously only lower half ha ha

Chicken Pox
My boy has kenna chicken pox! Noticed the blistery rash today. The most obvious one was his finger, one big blister... it's bothering him. Other than that, he's pretty alright.

First case of H1N1 confirmed in Singapore.
RE. vaccinations & GP
Has anyone of you brought your babies to GP for vaccinations? Am thinking to bringing Matthew to GP for 6-in-1 jabs but have heard stories of how some GPs don't even know much about such vaccinations and will not do growth assessments like how the nurses do it in Polyclinics.
So not sure whether to go back to Polyclinic (ISaac has his done there) or go to GP. My HB wants to go GP to save the hassle of going to Polyclinics.

hope your boy get well soon. does he have chicken pox vaccine before?

my kids have 2 GPs, 1 is for vaccine & growth assessment and another one is for sickness. chosen 1 for vaccine as it's cheapest i can find among the GP clinics around my area. the other one for sickness is good and detail.
i never go to polyclinics for kids' growth assessment 'cos want to save the waiting time. i brought my gal to PD for growth assessment before, it's quite similar to what it's done by the GP.
how does the nurse do in polyclinics? The GP just follows what was stated in the booklet, asks qn, measure the height and take the weight. The GP whom my kids usually visited for sickness told us to save the $ for growth assessment. He mentioned that as long as the kids' growth is about what was stated in the checklist of the booklet, there's no need for growth assessment.

sunny,
the nurses at the Polyclinics are quite professional. You know those lists of questions on developmental milestones in the health booklet? We will fillnup before going to the Polyclinic. The nurses will see what we tick and then they will verify for themselves some of the key milestones. They'll bring out toys and other materials to test baby. Even test using picture cards and ask Isaac to name colours, shapes, animals etc.
Not just take height and weight leh...

oily,
I agree... huge savings in cost, which is why my Isaac went Poly as well. HB and I feel that if baby is healthy, no need to go GP or PD just for jabs. I don't actually mind going to Polyclinic for Matthew except that now with H1N1 cases, I heard that Polys are taking precautions by making people take temperature etc. and thus can wait up to 2 hours or so to see doc and then take jabs, even though appointment is made. Necessary delays but my HB feels he rather avoid.

Hi mummies - Just back from PTM session. Very surprised & (pleased) with alot of E (Excellent) grades for C's development.
His form teacher gave positive & good fdbk while the Chinese teacher asked us to speak more in mandarin to him during the Jun hols as he shows a keen interest to learn but lacks mandarin proficiency.Looks like I have to take out the Chinese books I bot to start reading to him. She also recommended that we start conversing with him in Mandarin.

If u'r place has a pool, then it's condo? usually will have a list of coaches available that does your place. If it's the public pool, then there's an agency that can help too, but the quality not assured. I intend to send my 6-yr old to swim coach at my place in June and hopefully he can swim within these 2 months. The coach charges $60 for 4 times/mth and it seems the typical rate here. My son's been having much too fun in water. 1 mother I notice is coaching her 2 daughters on her own ... very motivating.
On poly vs GP route for vac/growth check, for #1, i went via poly. Paid for a package and everything is settled. And yes, the nurses are very lovely and professional. We also did eye-check when he's 4 (I think). With #2, decided to do PD n GP and realize it's quite cumbersome. Coz we didn't take package, we sourced individually and one GP when we stepped into his clinic, he had to verify the doses from the fridge.... huh, not very professional. PD was very good, the way he does the jabs are superb ... in n out before the kid even knows it. People do say that poly's has a high turnover of the med and so the doses are more "fresh". Given a choice, I'll go to poly, but not in the current situation.
Progress Reports ... schools tend to put good n abv to be encouraging to the kids.

Hey Mashy - Thanks! It's good that yr C gets Es too & for academic stuff. For me, I am happy because I didn't expect it. It's not his academic results that I was focussing on. It was more of his personal development
Both teachers said what made him stand out was that he was friendly, polite & sociable. He wld greet all the teachers when he steps into school. Even the security guard at his bus pick-up/drop off point wld ask for him when he is absent from school.
