re: babies having cough
I passed the cough & flu virus to RR few weeks ago. They were coughing quite badly & alot of phelgm too. I'll usually give them ginseng powder when they have cough & it had always worked. As for the phelgm, one of my friend was in China with her kids & some of the folks there told her haw helps to clear phelgm so I tried and I think it does help abit. Of cos I also gave them the medicine from the doctor to clear the phelgm so not quite sure it's the medicine or the haw that works. You gals can try giving that though.

pink,
I agree with bbmouse about the budget so we set it at minimum $20? I like to get stuff for kids, so excited over it now. hehe!
Think it should be fine if we leave some kids in the baby area cos it's quite near to it. Some helpers/hubbys are going so can still help 'jagar' while we enjoy ourselves at the cafe.

Baby Girl: poor anna.. hopes she gets well soon. Hey its good that anna still sleeps on her tummy, this will really help her these few nites. lying on tummy, the phlemg won't get stuck on her nose, my doc also asked me to prop a pillow so her head is higher and let her sleep on her side. U try and get a big pillow ( i was using a baby safe one)and let her lie on it these few nites. Rae also dun sleep on pillow, after she okliao, i removed the pillow.

re: Penang Laksa at Aljunied
hey, I went there to tau-pau just now.. and my verdict is... It's NOT nice! ooh ooh... sorry to those who likes it!! ok, 1st of all, it is much better than the Hougang Festival Market one.. so Irin, I suggest u go n eat this Aljunied one.. i think u will like it. It is better than Hougang one, because the Aljunied one, the soup is much better. I can see and taste the fish in the stock, so the soup is more fragrant. What i didn't like about this is, it's too spicy!
Michelle, correct me if I m wrong, but the real authentic Penang laksa is not meant to be spicy right?! I mean, some spicy yes.. but this one is really hot! I think they made it a lot more spicy because Singaporeans generally like spicy stuff. Actually it taste ok, but I don't find it authentic enough. That's my grouse. And of course, the beehoon cannot make it.. but this is a general problem across everywhere in SG. cos in SG, u can't find the same beehoon like in Penang.. when your mum comes over hor, u should ask her to bring the beehoon over! that is so impt!!
Ok, I also ordered the Fried Kway Teow.. not bad. More like the Penang Kway Teow.
bbmouse,
didn't read your comment until now leh.. but ok la, i dun particularly like suan cai.. but if i do go again, i will try to find. thanks.

astro, really? i'll go ask kinder if i can change class to sunday.
btw, gymboree only aval at marine parade? i thot i saw it at tanglin too. is it different?
Re JWT trial
It is super messy like what all of you said. too many babies and too little time. and the staff not very good at handling babies...
and plus that stupid fluffy carpets that they handed out...were so dusty...till now my sensitive nose is still running!

vic: same same the gymbo at tanglin. u can go to the tanglin one, vivo or marine parade. MY feedback is that the classes at marine parade is the best.. very structured and organised unlike the one at vivo.U signing ethan up for kindermusik?? come join us at our class on sunday 11am, think there might be slots available.
Magsmum,
nice meeting u n Mag. err, i realised that i didn't intro myself. i was the one who talked to u towards the later part. I asked u which date is Mag born n I said she is mei-mei. I was sitting next to u.
Enne,
Legolas looks like u! heh, i heard the trainer call him Nicholas. I think hor, it's hard leh.. when u try to pronouce Legolas like Nicholas, pple will assume it's Nicholas. I thot pronouce as Lei-Go-Las sounds nicer leh..
re: JWT
actually i find the session ok la. i agree it's messy but for a free trial.. can't expect much lor. There were a total of 18 babies today! Actually i was laughing away cos I found it very fun to watch all the mums carrying their babes n swinging them.. hee.. i was very 'eng' cos my hubby was the one carrying EJ to play in the session! kekekekekeke...
Astro, i think u can give up on this JWT ADMIN pple.. cos there was a list showing who are the mums that are 'registered' for today.. and the list is actually quite short.. think about 8-10names.. but guess what, none of the names there belong to March Mummies! I glanced through the list.. of course i can't remember all the March mummies name.. but i have a feeling none are our names..
The staff there were so totally overwhelmed when they saw such a huge group of parents/babes.. then they ran out of forms etc.. very jialat. But their swing and equipments not bad. Quite fun actually. Guess if we have to pay, then not worth.. but since it's free, then enjoy!

Hey, YT practiced standing and walking quite a number of times just now! So funny, she kept plopping back on her butt when she tries to stand. The strange thing is if we try to help her by holding her she will just sit down. Hmm, really very independent. She rise her butt high high then stood up and walk like a drunken person. LOL.
YY,
Yar lor, Eille won't be doing her SIL favor by introducing her to my household, haha. Her SIL will sure *&#@ when she saw the amount of work that needs to be done at my place.
Pinkpink,
Aiyo, not funny for us lor cuz already my MIL's sis asked her not to spoil the maid.

autum: wha.. so we all pronouce it differently..hehe. i think i like my pronouciation leh.. hahaha actually lare-go-les also sounds quite nice.
actually Rae name also got 2 pronouciation.. her name racia can be pronouced as "racial" or "rae-Sia" as in the malaysia the "sia". i usually pronouce as "racial" lah.
Like HJ's Elisha's name too.. i pronouced as E-Lie-shar.. but i think HJ say not correct, suppose to be E-Lee-ser.
all these names har.. heheh. ur EJ the best, no confusion at all.. hahaha.

Mummies: Thanks for your concern. Her fever is hovering at below 38, usually 36.9, 37.5, thereabouts. Once it's above 37, we give fever med. And we're going to see the PD tom. Actually I discover we also have the sore throat drops and nose drops in her medicine kit. All within the expiry date of course.
Autum: You find it spicy? Is it becos you put in the chilli padi.
Hey, I found something else which is nice. Avocado with milk juice. Can buy at the fruit juice stall. It's solid!

think anna might not be ablt to drink well. could wake up in the middle of the night..might also vomit coz of the coughing.. these few nights will be hard on u and ur maid liao..

Astro: I know when anyone is unwell, there is reduced appetite. So I'm not particular if she didn't finish her porridge or her milk.
We're giving her a lot of water and porridge water, and she's taking it well. *sigh* Would have brought her to the PD if the clinic is opened on Sundays.

bbmouse: did a very quick google
http://www.hotandcoldhealth.net/id42.html
quite lengthy.. skim thru? middle section. they do have a very brief section (table) saying the cold damp food which causes phelgm..
need to finish up another part of reserach .. else can help to google more.. on this..

YY,
Yar, I saw this walking wings stuff many times liao. Someone was selling at the WTS once and I was tempted but decided against it cuz YT is the type who will sit down once you give her support.
YT also crumpled her cert, lol. But not very badly lar. Her first cert, must keep for her.
1. Those chalky stuff are trichomes. The special leaf extensions that acts as roots for airplants to take in water and nutrients so please dun scrap them off as they won't grow again once scrapped off.
2. Erm, I really dun suggest indoors with fluorescent only. I gave five ionanthas to five colleagues in my previous workplace. None survived and one got stolen or blown away placed outside. My plants that I placed in office survived because I place them right at the window which will get strong late afternoon sun.
3. Easy to do. Just buy those flexible wires (can find at Daiso also) then twist into holder with hook, then put plants in, voila! But hor, nowsaday hard to find the thicker wires at Daiso liao, only got those thin thin ones which dun hold the shape.
4. Ionanthas and Strictas, best for beginners. Fuss free and flowers easily in Singapore's climate. Ionanthas have purple flowers, Stricta's also have purple flowers but have large pink flower bracts. Very attractive. Ionanthas look like mini pineapples, very cute. Pink flower tillandsia ah... argentina has pink flowers but that one dun flower as easily. Mine aborted bloom not even halfway.
You can see here: http://www.tillandsiabiotope.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=25&letter=*
and here: http://www.fcbs.org
for various types of tillandsia.
Oh, btw if you are joining the contest, the answer is bergeri.
