Hmmm... so wanna find out what's it excatly oso.
 


tanwawas,

PEC
I heard is about 400 for this intake....
 
Mummies who have prepared chocolate fondue or tried chocolate fountain before, how do u preserve fruits like apples, etc after u cut them?? How to prevent them from turning yellow? I have placed order for chocolate fountain for my girl's party next saturday and i need to get ready the fruits for dipping.
 
Shicida

Hunniepot,you know what is the schedule for weekdays? Am thinking of signing for one term too to see how.....Have you signed up yet? for which term? I also heard from my friend that the staff there is quite 'ya ya' coz they are so popular.

cheers
 
<font color="0000ff">KK</font>, Soak them in Salt H20, will help to preserve the cols of the fruits.

<font color="0000ff">rach</font>, you got mail.

<font color="0000ff">hunnie</font>, don't hv the link lei.
 
Hi ladies,

Wow, you all are really into bb classes. I'm too busy to bring Enya to any.

Evon,
FTWM dun really have time for personal treats except for taking leave. But there are also limited no. of days we have. So we just hv to make use of lunch time to go shopping. I always go for 20min massage with my colleague during lunch time. Really dun hv time for 1-2hrs spa although I'm dying for one.

As for exercise and weight loss program, that will be doing housework and take care of bb full day during weekends. Taking care of Enya for just 1 morning really tired me out. So save lots of money. No need to go for those program.
 
<font color="ff6000">kk</font>
u can also squeeze a bit of lemon on the cut fruits to prevent oxidation which causes the colour change.
 
<font color="ff6000">tracy</font>
enya is such a pretty girl!
happy.gif
i always try to put this type of hairclip on K but she just pulls it off, does enya let u put it on willingly?
 
miu,

no way she let me put on willingly. I always put it on when she didn't notice. Or else she will pull it out too.
 
preciousbabe,

Thanks for the feedback.. cham.. I forgot how to send the links to a contact group.. think I am really getting very absentminded here.. will try again...

cheers,

I havent sign up yet leh.. you want to sign up together? But Im thinking of weekends.. if weekdays.. do you know the timing?

Tracy,

Enya is so sweet looking! Looks like a girl thru and thru... Amanda still looks like a boy leh.. not enough hair
 
RE:Swiss Roll BP

Those mummies who are involved.. can sms me and let me know what time you will be coming over? Cos I need to plan my time.. as I need to deliver some of the swiss rolls to my SILs.. Thanks!
 
RE: April MTB photos

For those of you on my mailing list, you've got mail! Those who wish to view the pictures.. please drop me a PM...
 
Tracy,
wow...Enya is soooo pretty. I carried Jayden to see and he see liao, kept smiling leh
happy.gif


Hunniepot,
Received the link liao. Thanks
happy.gif

I'm also very absentminded recently and very birdbrain. Wonder why...
 
petite, I'm shock and super shocked!!!!!!! if you make a police report that will create a scar in yr marriage. I would suggest that you and your hb go for marriage / family counsellor. They may help yr hb to understand that the little one is innocent.


ENYA! JIA YOU JIA YOU!! our 2nd celebrity bb in our april thread!
 
petite_chose,
oh gosh. Hmmm... not sure of the situation. But if me, I would make sure he doesn't touch the baby till he cools down. I would tell him that I am bringing my baby to somewhere and he calls me if he thinks he has cooled down.

Going to make a police report, may not be very good unless he always does this.

I got a friend who applies for some papers not to let her husband touch her two children after few such occasions. But she is not close with me; just thru another friend that found out something has happened to her family.
 
tracy,
enya has grown so pretty.

FTWM seems to have such a large sacrifice in her personal life huh? I got a friend who is pregnant with the 2nd one now and she is working and she is feeling very depressed that the second one comes as she cannot perform her best at work. She also complains that she has no quality time for herself now with the second one coming along.

Think, this is something which I am a bit scared of; if to have a second one.

Imagine, annual leave is so limited with bbs having to go for so many jabs and on top of that, sometimes got fever etc. Then sometimes sick .... etc..

I think I putting on spare tyre that my mom keeps saying. I am also scared that my husband doesn't find me nice looking anymore.. a bit depressed.. but try not to think too much for now.

That is why trying find out if anybody got same sentiments.
 
Hi Ladies
Long time didn't pop by,here r some of Ivec's 1 yr old b/d celebration at home to share!!

Wall deco with Ivec's stage by stage photos
761637.jpg
 
Let me catch up on the posts, havent really have e time to read thru or post any thing on the forum as was really busy with work as well as preparing for Ivec's b/d celebration!

RE: Shichida
Hey! I have also signed Ivec up for Shichida! He just had his 1st lessons last week but the timing always seems to clash with his sleeping hrs thus he was rather cranky :p Wanted him to take a short nap but he refused! Sighh..so Tiffany, be thankful tt Lucas still enjoys his lessons, somehow or rather, i feel tt Ivec dun really seem to enjoy :p

RE: PEC
I'm also gg for the PEC next Sat! Soooo far & late!! Sighh...dunno how am i gg to go there..somemore no company..hee..anyone gg as well?

RE: Botanic Gardens
Is this still on? If so, I hv to give it a miss cos very tiring next sat, with his Shichida class then rush to the gathering & later to e PEC ..so hv 2 give it a miss but i'm looking forward to the Labour Day gathering..hmm..is it still on?

Petite
I'm very shocked after reading ur earlier post!! I hope ur hub only does tt this one & only time! u must make sure tt he doesn';t & will not repeat this again..bb is innocent! Anyway, it will b gd if the two of u can sit down to discuss & come to a compromise rather than him venting his anger!

RE: Couple time
I was telling my hub tt couple time is still very impt so we normally try to hv some time alone by gg jogging together & also, we will take a slow walk home after me working nights ...it has also been a while since we went out shopping or watch movie..& honestly, we will feel guilty if we did that w/o having Ivec around..:p..so holidays r definitely out for us!
 
Hey shylyn,

Does the cake taste nice?

petite,

Hmm.. perhaps you might want to gwet your hubby to attend anger management classes? Cos if he does it once.. he might do it another time.. not good for Riz to witness such outburst in anger too... might not be a good idea to report it... cos it might not do your r/s any good at this point in time
 
hey mummies, i'm losing the thread... was busy with nix all these while and fall sick after Nix... sigh... btw, can mummies update me on the kindermusic and seimpi trial class? i'm losing the thread.. thanks..
 
petite,
what's your intention of making a police report? I think better to settle this amicably. If he's generally aggressive, encourage him to go for stress/anger management counselling. You din mention if he's always like that, outburst after a quarrel....
if this is a one-time thing, and 1st time like that, I don't think he meant to hurt bb. It's his gu rou also what! For abuse cases, must be deliberate hurt to bb and usu dealing with recurring incidents.
 
TWWs,
Thanks for the receipe. Looking forward to your tomato and cheese risotto receipe. Post only when you have time lah.

Mrs Ho,
Thanks for the well-wishes on behalf of Reanne.

Evon,
Guess from your description of Shichida program, it somehow sounds similar to GD. Both using flashcards. I agree with Hunniepot on the part of mastering the techniques only if I were to enrolled Reanne for use at home to teach. But gosh, it seems pricey for juz one lesson per week.

les petite,
Not sure how to advise you though. But sincerely hope that you somehow have managed to find a good solution to your tacky problem.
 
<font color="ff6000">bblim</font>
what a beautiful cake, looks too nice to eat!! your girl is very cute, she looks all grown up
happy.gif


<font color="ff6000">petite</font>
i'm sorry to read about what's happened to you and your son. i'm sure you are angry, upset and maybe even scared but as others have highlighted, making a police report is a very serious matter. i sincerely hope you can find a peaceful long-term solution to this problem, perhaps your family can help you?
 
Hunnie
oh yes..the cake was very delicious..think i hv put on another 1 kg becos of it..hehehe...was still drooling thinking abt it..i love the chocolate!

Bblim
Hmm..did u order ur cake from strawberry Shortcake bakery as well? It looks too beautiful to be eaten!! Btw, is it as delicious as it looks?
 
Hi ladies,

Enya thank you all aunties for the compliments. I guess she is blessed with a bb face from her daddy and lots of hair from me.
happy.gif


Hunnie,
Dun worry about Amanda looking like a boy. Few mths ago still got pple ask me Enya is a girl or boy. There is a chinese saying Nu Ta Shi Ba Bian (hope I got it right). Looking at her features, Amanda is going to be a pretty girl when she grows up.

Evon,
I guess these are the sacrifices we have to make but I do not regret having Enya. On the other hand, I think I love her more. I also starts to understand how my parents loved me and worried for me. Being a mother really changed me to be a more responsible and patient person. Talking about having 2nd bb. The thot of it really scares me. I told my hb that I'm not mentally prepared for no. 2. So we might have to wait for another 1-2 yrs then decide.

Re: Gymboree
Yesterday we brought Enya to the trial class. We had lots of fun. I think Enya enjoyed herself too. But it is really tiring for me. I guess I have not been exercising for a long time. Now I'm aching all over.

Chenoa,
Nice meeting you. YY really enjoys herself in the class. My Enya still a bit blur blur. I'm still thinking of whether to sign up for the class as my hb is not always off on Sat. Probably will go for the trial class as and when.

Petite,
I dun really know how to advise you. But just remember, whatever decision you make, think of bb first. Try to talk to your hb when both of you cool down.

bblim,
It's a beautiful cake. I won't bare to eat it!
 
Tracy,
good thing you identified us.
happy.gif
I wasn't paying attention to the other kids/parents. So many pple! Like a marketplace, but the co-ordinator was good - I like her class management. But not impressed with the equipment and program. YY simply enjoys playing...makes no difference if we are dancing/swinging at home or in a setting like Gymboree. She gets excited very easily. I hope she'll not turn out hyper. *headache*
 
Good morning mummies!
I'm from May thread.Would like to chk if any of your have cheap lobangs for helium balloons? Those rubber kind.Any idea whats the market rate per balloon and can PM me the contace p/s..
 
Good morning Mummies

It is so great to see all the birthday celebration photos.

Bblim, I really love your girl's cake!

Petite, I'm so sorry to read your message. Hope everything is okay by now.

Little Tots, I got my balloons from Grefio. But I never do any research to check the price 'cos it was very last min decision to have balloons.

Yesterday decided to let my gal to try self-feeding. I tried with cereals. It was so a funny experience. I think she enjoyed playing with the cereals instead haaaa..

Evon,

Everyone also said Jas looked like a boy initially. All the little boys and girls who saw her called her "DI DI"! It is only recently when her hair is longer then she looked more girl girl heeee.. And those staff at Mac will give her pink balloons. Last time, always gave her blue! heeee.. So I'm sure very soon, XT will pass this phase too
happy.gif
 
Tracy,

Hopefully!
happy.gif
My hubby still wants to cut Amanda's hair as short as possible... No way for me.. she is looking a little more like a girl with whatever little hair she has.. and confirm look like a boy left right centre if her hair is cut short! All the best for the contest! BTW, which contest is that?

bblim

Reanne looks so adorable carrying the stack of plates in her hands... looks like a helpful birthday girl! The cake looks really good!

self-feeding

Brought Amanda to globetrotters on sat night.. and I allowed her to self feed on chicken patties.. and as usual.. more than half the food ended up on the floor.. and even kids who walked past our table.. made comments like: What a mess!
 
Re: Self feeding

Oh gosh.. I tried self feeding on XT. Guess what.

We used the small round biscuits (those small ones... dunno call what) and gave XT. XT would put in her hand and then crushed it and the crumps dropped on the floor and then she would pick up the crumbs to play and not place in her mouth.

We tried to put one in her mouth and she would chew half and then split it out.

Dunno if tix is good or bad.

My mom was telling me that at least she doesn't place anything into her mouth just like that. =p

But gave her handphone/phone/remote control, she would place them into her mouth.

kao_confused.gif


Tiffany,
The speaker is a lady by the name of Lavina (can't remember if I've gotten her name correctly).

Re: FTWM
Tracy, that is my phobia too. My husband is asking when would it be a good time to have a second one as well.
Me also makes use my lunch time to go shopping at City Hall and Bugis areas.

Re: Feeding at least every 2hours?
Any mommies' bbs are behaving in such manner?

XT was waking up at least every 2 hours to be fed at nights. I am wondering if it is because of growth spurt. Or becoz we have to feed her milk powder that is 1 yr old one and not those 6months type.

Any comments?
 
Evon
Thanks.. I think the principal Joycelyn Khoo is definitely a much better speaker and salesperson. Her seminar was very lively and interesting. Anyway, the PEC will be conducted by her.

RE: Feeding at nite
YES.. i also noticed some feeding changes for L. His last feed is 10pm and he will sleep thru till morning and the next feed will be about 6-7+am. But duno wat happened... these few days, he wants milk at 12-1am. He rejects water and his pacifier, but when i made milk, he drank it as though he is very hungry. He will drink and go back to sleep. I have already given him 100% Gain IQ. Hmmm... I am also wondering, why there's a change in his sleep/feed pattern. Dun think the milk u mentioned (for 6mths babies) affect the changing pattern.. Must be some other reasons which i still havent found a solution.

Anyone knows or also facing the same issue?
 
Re: Botanic gardens on 21 April
Hi all, got a bad news to share.

My husband is working on Sunday early morning and so think, we won't be able to make it on the Sat afternoon so that he could ve sufficient rest before heading out work before midnight.

My apologises.

kao_cry.gif
 
Evon,

I believe is not the milk powder either, probably XT is active during the daytime so needs more milk or it could be she seeking for comfort.

Hi mummies,

Have been busy lately with work and my boy. Losing the thread soon oso.

Walking
My boy oso hasnt started walking on his own. He can walk quite well with support, once I tried to let go, he will go back to crawling. My mum said the time is not up. They themselves will know so must enjoy this phase (crawling) cos once they started walking, we, mums, will be even more tiring. Have to chase them.

Have good news. Went for check during the early week of april, n my gynae said, most likely, my baby is a girl. Crossing my fingers. If its a girl, I can close shop liao.

Tiffany, it happened to my boy oso. He has been up around 1plus and will cry for milk. Once we have fed him, he will go to sleep (not so sure its due to growth spurt or the teeting). My boy has been quite sticky to me. He wants to sleep on top of me and wanting me to hug and pat him. Then he kan wan sleep peacefully, if not, he will make lotsa of noises. So he have been lying down on top of me since friday' nite. My hubby said, want attention, no need to behave like tat (cos most ppl said that they know that there's a bb coming soon so they will b quite sticky)

Petite, perhaps u may want to sit down n talk to your hubby w/o making report. Maybe, he did it w/o knowing it.
 
Re: My PTM plays me out yet again.
I've tix PTM whom I would say, did very well two yrs ago. Then suddenly decided to quit becoz got to take care of family. Then I tried a few PTMs before she told me she's available yet again. And so took her in again and tix time, she's going to play me out yet again and the reason to give is becoz she wants to try baby sitting???

Haiz.

I am hesitant to get maid to help.

Looks like no choice, isnt' it?
 


Des,

Congrats! When is ur due date again?

Evon

I am also hesitant about getting a maid.. though I still can cope with the housework now as I am still a SAHM, hope that I still can cope once I become a FTWM.. really dont like the idea of getting a maid..
