Babylon,
Just to share with you what one of the mummy posted the following 3 CC in CCK and Jurong East
1) MMI @ Phoenix Walk
As this center is not a fully air condition centre so it will be good to put my gal there but a bit out of the way if hb cannot fetch her. Really like the activities over there as they teach based on your child learning speed. They teach you the concept before going into the details. Child will get a lots of hand on too.
2) Kinderland @ CCK Central
This will be my next option as convenience for me to fetch my gal if hb is not free. Quite like the activities there as there is music lesson which I think my gal will like it.
For this CC, it seem like there is a lot of craft work which it is good when can prepare the child for future sch projects.
3) Columbia @ Akira Centre
Heard good comments about this school. It is really academic focus and it really prepare your child to Primary School. Got to enrol them during nursery class as they do not take in student after that as they are worried that your child might not be able to catch up with their learning phase.
Another option I was considering for Charmaine previously was Carpe Diem. Check out the web http://www.carpediem.com.sg/
Address near your place should be :

Hi Babylong, Carpe Diem is a good cc. They've got one at Jalan Jurong Kechil, but their schoolbus is pretty limited. Which area are you looking at and do you need schoolbus? For eg, cc in Woodlands got no schoolbus that comes to CCK ... oh, Woodlands is north hor.
Motherhood Fair, think I'll only go down on Sunday if got news of good buy. I'm around the area then ... if anyone is going, can pls help check out price of (1)Pampers L60 ActiveBaby and (2)Karahome Goat Milk sweet. Thanks!

no problem, you can call anytime.. part of my vocation...
hope shannon is ok

Hope you things with you and your husband have cooled down.. its not easy when hubby says hurtful things like that. Sometimes, me and my hb also have bad fights cos things have changed so fast for us.. like get married, have kids and job changes.. very hard for us to cope sometimes...
in the end, altho sometimes, i really "hate" him... i think so couple time alone without the kids really help, cos then can remember what it used to be like when first dating and why we fell in love in the first place...

hi, how shall i pass u your crayola marker set? Do you want me to pass to anyone who stays closer to you?

thanks for all the advice and comfort...i guess it is true that i neglect him. sometimes i just think that he is so busy with work that i m better off spending my time with JH. my hb is the kind once he reach home, he will switch off and relax and even when watching tv, he will not talk to u one. so over time i think my time is better used on JH and this becomes the vicious cycle.
this morn on the train i was thinking abt our past and though i m not ready to give up yet, i dunno what he thinks. but really dun feel like talking to him...
re little skoolhouse
is it still at OCC? i thought they stop already...
re RP lunch
any day is fine for me except wed cos i telecommute! can't wait to eat the nice ramen.

Oh Little Skool House no longer in OCC? What a pity, I really like the enviroment. It's about 1 1/2 years since my nephew left the school. He's turing 8 this year. But their website doesn't seems updated cos OCC is still there and there's no mention of AMK.

I do agree with flo that cold war cannot be used for a prolonged period, it may have adverse effect. I'm using cold war once in a while becos my HB "hear" me better as in he knows I'm really angry whereas when I try to reasoning with him, he thinks I'm nagging.
A short period of "cold war" helps to cool us down and I usually use this period to reflect if I could have handle it a better way etc... in addition, it also much easier to make my HB apologise
which will usually patch things up.
perhaps like the other mum suggest, make a point to spend quality time together once or fortnightly/month to do things together before JH come along.
For myself, we took leave on weekdays to catch a movie,have a good meal and be back by evening just like we are working to relief my MIL.
With the changes.. I'm sure your Hb will appreciate and change

sy,
sometimes we really tend to ignore our HB and just spend time with our young ones.
Like wat cookie mentioned, should apply leave and plan for some couple activities.
Me and HB will make effort to spend some time without Caleb. Some1 told me b4, its our HB who will be with u till we grow old and pass away, not our children. So we must make sure we do not neglect our HB.

Sept 03 bride,
Agree with u....its our HB who will be with u till we grow old and pass away, not our children. I remembered my marriage counsellors emphasizing to all the couples that it is very important to have couple time alone without the kids. Like once a week dinner out alone or just a stroll in the park, etc. It will help strengthen the bond betw couples & also use the time to update each other of their thoughts.

Yah, Daren also like JW, the bottom molars are out before his canine. He only has bottom: 2 central incisors + 2 molars sprouting out now. Upper: 2 central, 2 lateral incisors, 2 canine and 2 molars. I thought he is weird to teeth like that. His upper teeth is now "complete" set, the bottom missing 2 sets.

Hmmm, why not just spend one of the weekends and accompany your hb to do his stuff. Just you and him only. I'm sure he will see that you still do love and treasure him. =)

Yah agree wholeheartedly with you both. I will always remember what was said before. "Husband and Wife are Freehold...Children are Leasehold" Our spouses are with us for life...our children will one day have their own families.

Playgroup
I brought Daren along with me to visit a playgroup this morning that I found on the SGparenting forum, which is payable if I'm keen to enrol. It's not exactly a child care centre. The experience was so-so and somewhat alarming.
When we got there, they were having their breaktime with the children of a vast age group, majority are 2.5 yrs, 2 of them 3 yrs, 1 is 4 yrs and another 5 yrs. YOungest being 19 months.
We sat in for the music and movement session and Daren was estatic, having a ball of a time moving and dancing with the older children, at least I know he is responsive and he is able to pay attention to the teacher when she speaks.
Alarming: The teachers (One is the director, the other us a staff), actually smack the more active/difficult who don't listen to instructions! I'm like thinking to myself ," Ok, so is this what I'll be expecting to happen to D when he goes there?" Since D is very active and gets excited easily, not to mention distracted. One of the 2.5 yr old pooed in his pants, he somehow stuck his index finger in his underpants/diaper and came up to me to show me, probably asking for help to clean him up. The teacher who was conducting the music and movement was totally oblivious to the evident smell! There was a maid there who quickly whisk him away to the back to help clean him up and the maid is there to accompany her little girl!
I personally find the session conducted by the teacher abit disruptive because she got distracted by having to pull that one boy who was distracted and doing his own thing rather than following what she does. And she'll walk to him and yank him to the "naughty corner" while the rest of the class watched. The director all these while was with another batch of students upstairs for the special class which is of course more ex as it involves brain stimulation with the GD and/or SM methods.
They also don't do the regular temperature monitoring checks as well as checking their hands/feet/mouth for ulcer like blisters in the light of possible HFMD.
After I left the place with Daren, I just know in my heart that it is not a good place for him to be even though it's walking distance from my home! Guess back to the drawing block.
I brought Daren along with me to visit a playgroup this morning that I found on the SGparenting forum, which is payable if I'm keen to enrol. It's not exactly a child care centre. The experience was so-so and somewhat alarming.
When we got there, they were having their breaktime with the children of a vast age group, majority are 2.5 yrs, 2 of them 3 yrs, 1 is 4 yrs and another 5 yrs. YOungest being 19 months.
We sat in for the music and movement session and Daren was estatic, having a ball of a time moving and dancing with the older children, at least I know he is responsive and he is able to pay attention to the teacher when she speaks.
Alarming: The teachers (One is the director, the other us a staff), actually smack the more active/difficult who don't listen to instructions! I'm like thinking to myself ," Ok, so is this what I'll be expecting to happen to D when he goes there?" Since D is very active and gets excited easily, not to mention distracted. One of the 2.5 yr old pooed in his pants, he somehow stuck his index finger in his underpants/diaper and came up to me to show me, probably asking for help to clean him up. The teacher who was conducting the music and movement was totally oblivious to the evident smell! There was a maid there who quickly whisk him away to the back to help clean him up and the maid is there to accompany her little girl!
I personally find the session conducted by the teacher abit disruptive because she got distracted by having to pull that one boy who was distracted and doing his own thing rather than following what she does. And she'll walk to him and yank him to the "naughty corner" while the rest of the class watched. The director all these while was with another batch of students upstairs for the special class which is of course more ex as it involves brain stimulation with the GD and/or SM methods.
They also don't do the regular temperature monitoring checks as well as checking their hands/feet/mouth for ulcer like blisters in the light of possible HFMD.

SY,
Sometime my husband and I will dislike each other, simply cant stand each other. Then we will just focus on our son. My husband will keep on scolding, and I choose to keep quiet. While I trying to cool down, I will think what cause it, the reason behind it. I will write letter to my husband talking about the matter, and how hurt I feel, THEN we have a talk.
I agreed with other mummies, must spend some time alone with your hubby without our precious one. Our love one is the one who really company us till the end.
Don't avoid the problems, it will only get worse. Try to work out your relationship with him, I believe he will sense your effort.

Mamachan,
Did you do a surprise visit? I had learnt it when I studied pre-school teaching that time. I think it is good that u brought D there and see it yourself. I also won't choose this school if I were you.
1) Visit the school with the child
2) Give surprise visit. Do not allow the principal or the teacher to know that you are coming at this date this time.
Reason: They will make everything looks good and will not be the same as the usual.
3) Ask for lesson plan, art & crafts and other curriculuums that the students had done.
Reason: You will be expected to see what ur child will be learning there.
4) DO NOT go during Open House (my experience).
Reason: The teachers will be told by the principal to choose all the good handwriting worksheets, best art & craft etc to put on show for Open House. So this is not their usual "art piece"

Well, it was a planned visit which I set an appointment with the director last week. Apparently, the director herself forgot that I'm coming by at the appointed timing. So much for brain stimulation for kids when the teacher herself forgot. =P the irony of it all. It's not a MCYS accreditted CC. It's not considered a CC...enrichment centre for young kids maybe? The playgroup is meant to be 2hrs daily, Mon-Fri.

Tabbieus sms me ... she was there earlier. Said was better than the past, pampers, nepia, sealer, friso. The pampers is $24, so not much cheaper than outside except for the free toy. For Karihome got milk sweet which she's checked for me, it's $12 for 100 (think so) and $16 for 200 (multi-flavoured) - buy 2 bottles get 1 with 70 tablets free. I'm probably going to swing by to stock these up on Sunday.
Mamachan, which enrichment centre is this? Is that the one in the advert banner is it? pm can if not convenient.
