Not really like Mindchamp. Mindchamp is a child care with subsidy. Recommended time to reach school is 9am, recommended to pick up is 5.30pm. I find it too long. I "bu she de"

Prefer A to spend more time with B and C. Siblings bonding.

A enjoyed school today too. I had a hard time asking him to go to school till I said "tomorrow we will come to school again."


aishite,
Fees is $800 a month. Still got materials fee which is $300+ annually. I think if have excursion, might need to pay some more.
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

mummies,

20 Jan, Tues: 7-9 pm

For those itchy backside (aka moi), can go take a look :)
 
MTDT,

Yes, in New Orleans. Frankly, shopping here is not the most fantastic as compared to SFO or Boston but it is still pretty much shopable. Quite sad though cos the city still seems to be struggling to recover from Katrina. Any shopping list? Was so excited when I passed by Kids Foot Locker and Childrens Place last night. Heading there today…


Ashite,
I also miss DH lei… at times, when conversation gets dull or when meeting gets drowsy, I wish that all of you would be online! How is Cel? Get her to log on manz! As for missing Kell, that feeling is terrible.

I think you will love shopping here lei. Imagine Banana Republic dresses going at US$50. Keke… Thinking of heading down to Borders tonight to grab books and DVDs for Kell but not sure got enough time or not cos stores closed here at 9pm.

Alamak, what happens to my hubby! Too fanciful a nick for him lei… so relieved hor, when I am away, my hubby also well taken care of by the group.

Aishite,
What's this mindchamps? Sprouting all over the island! Is it like one of those shichidas? Very aggressive in their recruitment too..haha...maybe i should join them! Will pop by their open house if am free lah...btw, which part of east coast are they near?

Re: Seimpi
Any of your tods in Seimpi? How are they doing? Went for a trial last week...thought it was rather structured for an enrichment for a 2-3 year old. Will be going for juzmusic this week and up next is yamaha. Any feedback for these two?

Re: Childrenfirst
MTDT, am interested too! My ger's utterly deprived of these performances. Brought her to BArney only! And the last time, we saw some free show at Kallang Park - a juggling act, a christmas skit and some really awful carolling, and my ger was utterly engrossed. And when she got on cab for home, she actually said,'Mummy, I had fun today!' Aiyoh...feel like slapping myself then. So yes, am definitely going for childrenfirst! What's good?

Re: School
Glad to hear the tods are happy in school!
happy.gif
My ger's alright too...well most of the time..some days she'd wake up and say,'i don't want to go to school' Today was funny though. On reaching school, she ran to her teacher and exclaimed, 'i'm back!' Haha...somehow reminded me of the terminator!
 
Childrenfirst - HMM.. i am not organising anything gals. thus u gals pls get ur own tickets n planning pls. (scared after bb prom! :p)

am going for Magic teapot, in the garden, bedtime martha.

Hi,

Does anyone knows how to make ex-employer pay up the final salary? My last day with the co was 7 Oct and till now, still did not pay huge portion of it. Ex-boss said payment is on hold pending sufficient cashflow in the co, so means duno when he'll pay or if he'd really pay right? Wrote him many emails &amp; this is the only 1 reply I got. Browse MOM website &amp; the Employment Act does not cover if monthly salary is >2.5k; so will they help? Am simply pissed &amp; helpless on what to do.
 
Steffi: It's ok. Thanks for your help still. I've lodge online complaint on MOM website, just duno if they will entertain.

CutieZayn: Thank you. I'll just submit and see if any respond.
 
Rodeo
Try to get in touch with Angeline, Celeste's mum. Her hubby works in MOM and may be able to advise.

Last resort, you can go the legal route...can recommend you my lawyer if you want. She's pretty good. Has successfully helped me dealt with a few litigation cases.
 
kite,
Finally today 3rd day she starts to walk into the class without us holding on to her. Glad that she did enjoyed herself. During snack time she saw MIL and me and we wave to her and she wave back. At least she didnt run to me... I can see that ur Chloe is doing very good as well
happy.gif


Hahaha tomorrow I will just drop her stay for awhile before heading home.

Okipoki:

Good morning!

aishite: Ya, last resort is to take legal route. Sigh... don't wish to break relationship but no choice ley....

okipoki: Great to hear that C is loving school :p ER is also having fun in school. His teacher said he's her little teacher in class. Haha...

Angeline: No prob, just passing you my IT's proposed fix. Thanks for helping me to enquire with MOM. Let me know if you require more details. No, I'm not sahm. I found another job, that's y left the previous 1. My last day was 7 Oct &amp; started in current co on 8 Oct.

hey mtdt

is Z still with nanny? how much are u paying her since he has gone full day in CC?

oki/kite
Glad that both Chloes adapt well in the playgrp.
happy.gif
 
Steffi, give your girl more time, some kids take slightly longer to adapt, she will soon wave goodbye with a smile.
happy.gif


Calliope, Lyn, Oki, Kite, Joy &amp; Aishite, glad to know that your kids are coping well in school.
biggrin.gif


Lyn &amp; Dor, thanks, have selected one indo maid based on phone interview and 'ling gan', she will be in by 1st or 2nd week of Feb, really hope everything will go smoothly. By then I should be scheduled for c-sect already.
 
kite - zav sleeps ard 930-10. next morning wakes up ard 715.. sch bus comes at 735.

Bbloh - thanks

Spicegal - hmm.. 22nd shd be in liao bah. :p
 
Hi Bbloh, will pm you later. Don't want to disclose school name online..

Lyn,
SM school cost quite a bomb! S$800 per month is like full day cc for some centres, right? Think Mindchamp cost around S$1200 for full day?

Rodeo, want to see what Mindchamp is offering in Tamp? Just curious too. The last time I went to them was during an open house in Toa Payoh HQ. The rooms are so cherry and nice.

Spicegal,
G refused to leave home for school this am. Think she was still sleepy coz I tried to cut short her nap so that she goes to bed early. But she still end up sleeping past 10.30pm. She was protesting until she got to school. Heard from hubby that she stopped crying a while after she got in the class. knowing her, I will give her more time to adjust. She is generally slower to warm up in new surroundings. What more I was not around. It takes a lot of courage for all our tots to venture into a totally new world at such tender age. I have to say my heart ache at times to see what she has to go through though I know that she will eventually adjust and like school.
 
Spicegal
Aiyo, my gal is the ultimate one loh...even the teacher is scared of her, asked my mil to stay with her for this week...her wailing/door banging is the loudest..at home, when she's crying/throwing a tantrum, she will usually drop down to the floor and roll all over...really dun know how long she will take to get thru this
 
Joyful: I dun mind going to take a look. But we have to be there for the whole 7-9pm or anytime within that slot? Which day u planning to go? Think sunflower going on 13th. Do we bring the kids along or just us?

I found it's not effective shortening ER's aft nap cos he'll be moody the rest of the day &amp; it doesn't guarantee he'll sleep earlier that night. Usually he sleeps 10+, 11pm then we'll wake him up 8+am to have breakfast then go school.

Steffi: Hmm, so what do you usually react to her tantrums when she drop on the floor?
 
rodeo
we will usually leave her to cry and do our own things in the room etc. eventually she will cool off and revert back to normal...but the thing is, there is the danger of her vomiting when she cries, given the intensity..not sure how the teacher will react...
 
hi all,
talking abt sch... wes suddenly started crying yesterday. guess after the long long break for the new yr. no sch from 31 dec - 6 jan.

this morning, he cried alittle but not as bad as yesterday. my hearts really ache when i see him crying for me. but cant do anything coz he needs to adjust.
sad.gif
 
rodeo, joyfulm,

7pm - 7.30 pm : tour the school.
7.30pm - 9.00pm : talk about school, prog etc, though may end earlier at 8pm++ depending on Q&amp;A.

recommended to come without kids as kids may not sit still in the room for the talk. but if your hb coming, then maybe can bring kids to view place and if kid cannot tahan the long talk time, hb can bring them out to play in the classroom.
 
Kite, my edd is 20th Feb, can schedule c-sect anytime from 5th Feb, but I am still thinking whether to try for VBAC.

Joy, sometimes Jerica will also fuss in the morning when she does not get enough sleep. I think Gabby is doing very well already, Jerica cries every morning during her 1st month in school. So long as she dun cry for the whole day then should be fine.

Steffi, wah your girl really ultimate tantrum thrower...for her case, she definitely will take longer, some of Jerica's classmates will still cry and lie down on the floor even though they have attended school for almost 1 year, sometimes i feel that the more you are worried about them, the more they can sensed it and the more they will make us worry..
 
Sunflower, rodeo, Spice, Dor
Yeh glad that she is adapting well and infact she bids me goodbye after entering the class. But tomorrow not sure cos she will be on school bus.

Kite,
Hahah didnt get to talk to u much today as I am giving my neighbour's mum a ride back home together
happy.gif
Since the lesson ends at 1.45pm these days, I will coax her to sleep from 3pm and she wakes up at 6pm. Tomorrow by the time she reaches home will be 4pm.. headache liao ! Haha your mum also told me that ur ger slept very late ;p
 


Spice,
Wow u are going to due soon, so excited for you. A friend of mine tried VBAC last Nov, perhaps u want to discuss with your gynae.
