hi hi....
seems like tis time isetan sale i "report damage" e highest lor... $300 +a little bit...
wat i buy... quite a number of toys for ayden (which im very guilty about tat i didnt buy anything for belle but im hoping belle can share at least 2 of these toys nex time), cos i bought a Vtech bus which has A-Z, 1-10 and "speaks" when u press e button n play music, etc etc.... then 1 big bag of Mega Blocks.. a travel size doodle pro, n lastly a Tomy Jumbo aeroplane which is reli cool (tat i saw my cousin's son playing with n decided tat i have to buy for A)... other than that juz 'ling ling sui sui' stuff lor....

e rest of e mummies answered liaoz.. GUG is growing up gifted, at Utd Sq...
i dunno abt negative feedback from other threads here lah..
i wanted to bring A to some form of "class",
1stly to expose him to a "classroom environment",
2ndly hoping tat he'll interact with other pple/kids more,
3rdly to have some form of "stimulation" other than playing with e same old stuff all day every day...
brought him to a trial class and i find e contents quite ok lor...
start with "warming up session", whereby they'll put out lots of toys to "attract" e kids to go into e room n stay there... then they'll slowly close e door, sing a 'packing up song'.. then start with story telling... every week they will be teaching 1 alphabet.. n everything in e class will be focused on tat alphabet. got story-telling, a "zoo bag", some hands-on "project" time... finally sing-song session.. then byebye....
prices are abit steep $50 reg fee, $100 deposit n 1mth lesson $168... n i also think e "cirriculum" juz rotate once they've finished all e alphabets lor....
but i dont intend to put him there for very long... mayb 6mths max??? then he's either going into Pre-N liaoz, or playgroup lor....

i think one of e side effects is drowsiness... which im very vulnerable to... take normal cough medicine hor, i also will get drowsy 1... if dont get to sleep after that i'll faint... so muz check if i can take it or not lor....
eh, ayden doesnt sit on his potty... we have to "carry" him over it.. cos since young my mum been training him to poo poo tis way, so he actually have not be poo-ing in diapers for abt 6mths liaoz... he doesnt know how to say pee yet.. but he will make "noise" n wana go into e kitchen (where e toilet n his potty is)... or sometimes he'll touch his "there".. then we'll bring him lor...
ya, i was quite worried abt him overcontrolling... so now only mornings we let him wear e training pants, afternoon switch back to diapers liaoz...

cook rice in pot same as porridge lor.. but put in less water than cooking porridge...
usually i juz "agar agar" e water amt to use... cos rice soak liaoz cook very easily... so i juz boil e water n rice liaoz, then switch to e smallest flame... every once in awhile MUST remember to check hor, scare e flame gets blown out... if rice drying up too soon then i'll add little bit of water at a time.. until reach e "level of softness" i want.. usually tis "cooking process" only take abt 20+-mins.. then juz off e fire n let it "simmer" for awhile more lor...

ya.. tats e name of e pill...
im still latching her on morning b4 i go to work.. n at nights once i come back... at work i think i can still afford e time to pump once a day lor... im already taking fenugreek since i went back to work, initially ok.. but now losing its powers.. also bought e Nursing tea from Moms in Mind to try (taste horrible!
n not helping either... which is why im desperate n thought of domperidone....
abt driving... u can do it 1.... i got my driving license long long ago... last time only once a while happy happy rented a small car (nissan march) to drive, i think only once or twice... then with hubby (then bf only) we bought a mazda 3 (with backside 1).. initially drive also scare scare.. but after driving almost everyday for 2yrs... tis change now to e Wish is chicken feet to me lor... hubby had a hard time parking this Wish initially, but i had no problems adapting at all... i think juz need more practise lor.....
as for swimming.. not for e time being... i think now swimming lessons r only to get e child to get used to e water so it'll be easier to "transit" into proper lessons nex time... ayden simply loves to swim!!! we have problem getting him OUT of e pool.. even after 2hrs... juz tat now with e HFMD, i dont dare to bring him swimming cos we go public pool... plus recently he's down with flu... hopefully when he recovers, e HFMD risk is lower liaoz then can bring him swimming again....

heheheh.. ya.. belle "officially" turns 6mths nex Tue.. so fast hor....
im using e Medela PIS... bought it during ayden's time (during Private Sale!) n used till now liaoz... if not for tis, i may not even be able to continue pumping for so long, cos its reli efficient... n durable, i wanted to send it for servicing last week, but brought it there liaoz they tested, its still in tip-top condition....
thanks for ur support... im still quite lost lor... guess my final decision will come after i come back from my trip n see "how much" milk im left with by then bah.....
