eh i never eat sugar at home. never make sweet drink, only drink milk and water. if outside also only order water or te-o-kosong
but sea salt interests me. don't think ntuc carry this? must buy at cold storage?
do recommend me good books on health. thanks..
what do u mean tasted but not eat fruits? u mean only give a ittle bit only? nt puree then mix into cereal n milk? btw do u only give brown rice cereal or white cereal as well? now 1 meal or 2 meals a day?
btw u mentioned that lechitin is brain food rite? i saw one organics lechitin in ntuc (forgot the brand, but it's one and only organic lechitin there), but not sure how to cook/prepare it for me and baby? is it true no need o cook n just sprinkle to baby food?

My hb is gng back cos PR expiring too. I'm only getting spouse visa (temp residency). Not applicable to apply for PR yet unless boy is 2 yrs old.
I will suggest dun give up your PR. It's getting much harder to apply now. You wun know unless you go there and try for a job. My fren who married there is holding spouse visa, but managed to found a job within months and is working for Telstra. You must think further ahead. Having a PR is good and maybe essential for your kids. Supposingly anything happen (touchwood), at least there's still the govt to support and look after them. When you are old and not working, SG govt will not be able to help you much. This is a known fact. So do think twice before giving it up.
vivi,
I'm not sure how old you are now, but the older you get, the more impossible it is for you to get Aust PR. By the time your kid grows up and is independent, I can assure you that it is too late to apply for PR. Now the pt system has increased to 120, and ppl below 30 and above 30 got diff pts allocation under the "age" part.
I will suggest that both you and your hb apply for the PR and see how it goes. Cos even when you get the PR, it doesnt mean that you hv to go back straight away. Most prob you can still stay here for a few yrs before making the move. Also the application process is not that fast. My hb waited for nearly a yr before his pr is approved.

hidora,
i also dont have the heart to give up... but it's kinda of difficult coz hubby and I have to give up our current jobs here and go there to start from scratch. Unless we already found a job there before going over. your hubby got a job already?
both my hubby and i already gotten our PRs... we have been delaying and then discovered i'm preg and hold back. next yr, our PRs will be expired by Oct. So it's either go or give up situation for us.

vivi,
the BP only has 100 categories. Total GD dict has 150 categories. The 2nd BP contains the next 42 categories. Not inclusive of maths also.
For maths to print on A5 size, too small for bb to see.
I've not sort out the 42 categories, so not sure which 8 categories not in.

Oooo canada. Heh, thought you also want to migrate to australia as most sporean go there. You hv relatives in canada?
I know aust wants young people. The younger the higher chance of getting the pr. Is canada the same? Or are you thinking of getting retirement visa?
But if can get the pr, shld get it early. Then can give birth to 2nd, 3rd kids there, and let them have dual citisenship, like mich's boy. ;p Otherwise, let your kid grow up there also good. Then he will come back with slangy english.. hehe, and all the girls will be so blown over. ;pbpbpbp

mspiggy,
It's even easier since both you n hb have pr. And it's also more sayang to give it up. Ya, my hb found a job already. It was a company he went for interview before when he first got his pr. But he was rejected due to lack of experience. Last mth they were hiring and they thought of him. God's blessing I would say.
Another mummy I knew, her hb resigned and went over to Perth. Got a job in 3 mths. I think job market there isn't that bad.
Frankly speaking, my hb also wanted to give up his pr. He likes his job here and he likes singapore more. BUt after some serious thinking, he decided to go back (during then, he has not got the job offer yet) as he believed that this pr will be for our son's good. Then just when he decided to go back, he got this interview from the aust company.

hidora,
wow! u going to settle in australia? think it will be a nice place to retire but donno much abt the work environment there. my neighbour migrated there and their son didnt like it and moved back to singapore.
to get PR there have to retake O-level english? A friend of us told us that he was made to take that to increase his points!! thought it was quite absurb!

Mum2Be,
He's a program developer. I've not gotten a job. Not even close as I'm just preparing to apply for the spouse visa. Cousin there was telling us that childcare is very exp. Better to stay at home then at least got tax rebates. While she say exp, she nv say how exp. So will hv to go there and take a look first before I decided whether can work or not.
vivi,
I see. I only have my brother and mother here. And most prob I will apply visa for them a few yrs down the road when my bro finish his NS and poly.
tinklebell,
My fren liked it there. Cos perth's working env is full of chinese and indians. lol. I think it depends alot on the place moved to. Like sydney, there's more racism as compared to perth. Hmm, I read abt that. Were you saying that your fren's hb is a dr? Oh well, for the sake of the pr, sometimes you gotta do some absurd things. Not to mention that the pt system just increase again.

mum2b,
my uno is working, found out had to change from star shape to plug like rubber white thing.
mil wanted to give brovil in porridge for my boy next time. almost faint, i say no no...that's artificial flavouring but cause hubby side grow up eating this and she say baby will reject plain porridge. mummies, any ideas? surely we dont need artificial flavouring to make food tasty for babies? does brovil / marmite contain msg? how about soya sauce? will u all put salt / soya sauce in baby's porridge next time?

BUT s'pore MUST do right... paper work.. sigh!!!
