Govt aid for having more kids. hmmmm....
Back to the fundamental - we are the parents, rightfully we have to shoulder all the cost and responsiblity for the kids. I think the govt is trying their best to "GIVE" as much as possible.
Personally view - if govt started to give too much then the purpose of having kids are so different.
Wah, but I still have yet to start her on the sight reader leh cos she still likes the pelangi ones for the time being...so I guess I'll pass this time.
hong - ya, true in the sense...
but financial help is always welcome. and it's also partial govt tat cause the cost of living to be so high in Sin (read ERP etc. hahaha)
MTDT,
some pple may have misinterpret the purpose of the govt aids. Infact dun get con by all the aids, the govt may help us now by giving some many "Ang Bao" but once the kids hit Primary or Sec or Uni. Not much already.
Klcc,
Yah wanna go and see if I can get any good package for HK. I went to Chan Brother counter at Suntec and they quote me 2N Shamrock hotel, 1N Disney + passes + flying by CX + airport trf for 4d 3n is ard $800++ near to $900 (incl of airport taxes).
If we were to extend another nite will be $125 per nite, per room. Look like extension is much more cheaper.
If I dun urge my hubby to go and book the HK trip, soon we will all end up in BKK or worse only Gentings. So must do it quick before he change his mind. hahaha..
MTDT,
I never being to HK before leh. Comparing to those go Korea or Japan. I think HK really nothing. hahaha..
Hong, quick go & book then...dig yr hb's pocket bef he decide otherwise..ha..
yr 4D3N package like ok leh..My breakdown for my recent trip per adult =
Package for 4D3N (2N 4* hotel & 1 N at Disney)
$788 + $99(all taxes) + $40 (hol surcharge)
We extended 2 nites = $185 x 2
Morn Mummies,
Reporting from Genting Highlands, Coffee Bean. Waiting to catch our coachback to SG. Had a fantastic time here & Kay enjoyed herself so much! She was so happy that she started singing the moment she woke up in the morn. We rode on all the indoor amusement rides, watch foc movie, magic show etc.
Can see that Kay enjoys herself more than the previous 2 times. Mayb cos she's older now & can understand better. We took Transtar First Class coach & Kay slept all the way up.
PM,
Wat do u mean by having gd news in Aug before u consider having #2?
Can I check something....what is the weight and height of your kids ah? As you know, G is still not eating solid as much as an average toddler. So, I need to keep track on his growth.
Jul - Talk to Emma like how I did with Gianna. After DH and I talk and talk, she finally came out and very quick too. Yup, I chart the health book too coz I need to ensure that his weight/height does not go to zero percentile.
Jul - DH feels that its a waste of time and $$$ lor coz whenever he ask the doctors & therapists, they seem to say that he is very choosy and when they see my DH's shocked face (the face that say...Har, you mean you can tell what's wrong with my son?)..they will say maybe its due to oral sensitivity,etc,etc. However, when they conducted tests, its all NEGATIVE...haiz!!!
JP,
So seems like therapy also not much help huh? Maybe G is just pickier than most kids....just give him whatever he is willing to eat. He seems pretty ok to me from the last time i saw him and definitely has grown from the recent pics.
Jul - Yup, we now on the "all go" mode. Whatever G wants to eat, we will give. As long as he eats and get his system working. Thanks for the reassurance! We takes lots of photos of G also coz my family and relatives are worried about G too. So, seeing his growing ease their hearts a little
Jp I knwo what u mean when u spend time nad $ on the test, put the child in distress and the doc just say 'everything is fine' Of coz we do hope that everything really turns out fine lah.. but for $ spent and nothing has improved. At least shld give u many many other advices on how to make G eat more etc..

I not stress also let him gan cheong till stress....haiz!
JP,
when my nephew turns two my sister also asked the PD why his son was not gaining weight and why is he so small size. Luckily my nephew eats but still so thin and petite.
The PD said if she insisted, he could refer her to NUH for a series of test to check wats wrong with my nephew but the test was going to make the kid quite stressful and not going to be cheap, furthermore the result may not tell much.
My sister dropped the idea eventually.
Are you breastfeeding? Can Garrick pick up BM again?
Jul,
actually I went to do revision leh. I took out the note when I attended the course. Trying to recall how to breathe, checking my note on wat to take note and wat to do when there is a show.
MT,
