sob sob. no time to read archives.

pink, u be at hm tmr? i might b able to collect the JE spree items fr u.

hope, whr u stay? im gg out tmr. Can we meet to collect the CCT items? U can pm me ur num.
 
ohio!!!

veryberry, I find that i a, quite competent in terms of bringing tian for a long distant journey (5 hours oni la). i brought white bread, water, milk thats all.. tian can sit and play in the carseat for 2 hours, then sian liao. we stopped for toilet break, brought her out shh shh into Longkang... then see this see that for 15 min, the start driving again. wanted to make her sleep but she was not willing to.. so all the way to KL liao (with only one stop). drink milk also in car (carseat).
we departed at 2.30pm, reach KL at 7pm cause she was cooperative enough.
Funny part: when we shh shh her at the grass area, she did not want to and kept arching her body. then ok, hb changed to longkang, she ok?? like dat also can? haha!

Star, u steady bom pipi. CIO without C.. good.
actually, i quickly pat tian to sleep when she wakes up. maybe i should not do it now but being awake for 1 hour like Rae is too long leh.

evelyn, tian also eats the cardboard paper la. I did not know until i saw her munching something then i quickly dig her mouth and grab the paper. she cried. aiyo... tasteless thing she also want. i guess she already had some junk in her stomach.

bbgirl, i think tian also like books leh.
she can choose Book A or Book B so that we will read the story for her. Last time we tried, hb asked her choose Book B (e.g.) then she did! so hb quickly read the story for her. she happie!
 
evelyn, come and think of it.. i think i qort of notice that tian has dar eye circles the next day after i give her meat. at one day i did not give her meat (only meat soup porridge) then her eyes were sui sui the following day.
not sure if I'm right, but i guess this might be the reason. indigestion?
 
astro..jean piaget ah?

in terms of child psychology, he is pro in self-play and self exploration. As for vygotsky, everyone is influenced by the interaction with the environment (things, ppl, etc). I'm greedy and kiasu, i buy the ideas from both of them, and will try to balance in tian's play next time. I guess EC's books have those linkages that can guide children's thought while reading, which is good. I'm going to buy some EC booksl. got a book with pax liao. bbgirl has 20 books.. can form a anna's library liao.
 
QQ, i wanted to play the mickey saves santa VCD the other day for him. Who noes he crawled so fast and hit the keypad so hard till the whole screen went blank...and its totally dead now. faintz....

pink, i just pm u something. go chk it out.
 
star, i think Rae is also kaypoh like tian. if someone is talking loudly and she can hear, she don want to sleep. she will wake up and try to listen.. maybe rae could not go into sleep when she hears sounds from carpark.
my relative kept complaining cause they said i should let tian sleep in a noisy environment so that its easy to take care. alamak how? cause here they speak so loud like wanna "pek yao" everyday... i quickly put tian to sleep in my mum's room, which is the furthest from where ppl normally gather and talk.
 
Think its in the family genes

Tian seems to enjoy alot at the kampung stay. Gd leh to let the kids have a chance to expose to a different environment. U back at ur parents or inlaw's pl?
 
QQ,
tian will be the privileged few that gets to experience kampong life. we all remember the carefree days

re: borders
the new voucher, must buy the books in 3 or 4s for the promo right? different from the past
 
QQ: Good morning.. I like Jean Piaget. I believe in self-play and self-exploration. But ok, I shall not use that as an excuse.
happy.gif


Yes leh. I want to set up a library for her, hence I thot it's ok buying so many books. Looking around for a book shelf now..
happy.gif
I like to have excel spreadsheets to record my items right? Now I've set up a file called baby books spreadsheet. She has more than 50 books now, more if I add her cloth books.
 
SQ: Yah, must buy more than 4 to get the 40% off.. But they show different standards. When I was at the PP one, they say must be in multiples of 4, but in WP, as long as more than 4 it's ok. And at WP, they only ask for 1 coupon.
 
Baby Girl,
ok. thks for the borders note. it does sound confusing. i've been going to look for books for YE, should buy some for myself.

will go later in the evening if i have time
happy.gif


erh... 1 coupon for >4 books enuf liao what. you mean, some of them want more than 1 coupon for the 4 books?! so environmentally unfriendly. i mean, if i have one coupon, that shows i can have as many coupons as i like right. why make me print them?! crazy

btw, i went gymbo yesterday. flabbergasted at the filth of that place!

and blurbelle, that silly ang moh boy did appear! he is really rude and utterly disgraceful i'm appalled at his audacity. i would love to meet his parents so they can get an earful from me!

*super duper bad mood when i think of this*
 
baby girl,
you can adapt to kampong meh? after staying on palatial grounds for so long, are you sure you'll like them?

for the novelty bah... i think kampong is sure fun, but for sure i can't stand the filth. i'm very fussy lah.. cannot kan4 kai1 like QQ
happy.gif
 
SQ.. u going borders ah?
if they need a multiple of 4 books, then u have only 3, then u help me buy the GF new contented toddlers book? thanks. if not, it is fine.. just for the convenience of it if you need 1 more to close deal.
happy.gif


SQ, i dun think u can tahan the life here.
bbgirl, hm... u sure? maybe u can, but i dunno leh. cause got to really close 2 eyes.. her feet is like.. black colour after a few hours crawling here and there.

bbgirl, i am not a reader myself, but i hpoe tian love to read. wah! 50 books liao. if u have a spreadsheet to record the titles, then its very good.
 
QQ,
can. i can buy for you. if no sale, you still want the book? cos i dunno how many i will buy leh. but i def want to buy the Contented Toddlers Years. so we have 2 books liao
happy.gif
 
SQ, i no problem...
if got sales better. thanks!
happy.gif

is borders closing down? why got so many sales??

here in kampong, if you are not married by 30 years old, everyone will be busy match making for you. so my elder brother kena a lot of ppl match make for him... very funny.
 
QQ,
ok ok. i'll try to match so we can all get the sales. lucky you reply soon cos i'll be leaving the office soon.

dunno if they closing down wor. beta go and grab first. haha

your brother damn jialat. lucky man so still never mind. i think the woman would be even more stressed leh
 
SQ. enjoy your shopping.

Re: Standing test
Hmm...the nurse 1st asked me abt whether he can stand n i told her yes so she juz placed him on the floor to test. Then lure him to work a few pace. He walked well w/o tiptoeing & tat's y she reminded us not to use walker. I dun think he's related to autism.

Pink
Wow..pretty pics. U look so sweet despite being squashed :p
 
SQ: I was at Tanglin gymbo. You were at the harbour front one? How come we keep missing each other?

Kampung life: I don't know if I'll get used to it. Maybe I'll die of boredom more than of filth. I think filth u get used to, but boredom is a mind disease..
 
pink,
i like both pictures you have chosen!
i think they are v nice leh.
but my lazy hubby doesn't wanna take pictures too. we took the usual yearly shot last month, and he said enuf liao
sad.gif
 
hi QQ

me oso malaysian - kedah/penang.

my relatives stay in kampong too..and yes, they speak so loudly! Like quarelling! Last time when my aunties come to S'pore to visit us, i always stand far far away when we r outside. Cos the sisters talk so loud..so malu!
 
baby girl,
i was at tanglin. but went at noon. you went 530pm right?

kampung life not boring lah. you bring a book, find a cool shade to sit under! shiok! i'm looking forward to when YE can walk, then can bring her for holidays at the beach and she can play sand with daddy while i laze around. haha
 
SQ
u need some more orders to make the numbers?
I'd like to get the GF toddler book too. But if troublesome it's ok....no worries...
 
haha baby girl,
tomr our plan is to go gymbo at tanglin if it rains. else, we'll go sentosa.

either way, cos of our venue (you at PP me at tanglin), we'll miss each other for sure again.

oh, you also wanna buy that book? should have tombang you, but difficult to collect lah. never mind, i go get my own. now when i think of collection, i'm v lazy. lazy enuf to give up the opportunity to buy. hahah
 
SQ: Yah. 530pm. I find the gymbo at tanglin dirtiest and the staff the rudest! Yucks! The other 2 are not so bad..

Hahaha.. Nice pic you've painted. You forgot that when she can walk you'll be running after her! Cos she will want to explore everything, and she doesn't know what is danger yet.
 
pink,
the photos still nice leh!!! wah, if i spend the 3K, sure get "scolding" from hubby... siao ah, so expensive!!! ;p anyway, me very "meow", won't spend such $$ also lah... hehehe

QQ,
wow, your tian's "playpen", very innovative leh.... hehehe i think i also inside such playpen when i'm young leh.... hahaha...

astro,
oh, teng "molest" anna huh? ay, teng's mummy need to be "counsel" leh... how can allow the son to do this leh... hahaha
 
re: hubby taking pixs
errr.. i think generally man doesn't like to take pix hor, probably felt that it's a waste of $$... in fact w the $100 package hor, my hubby also felt that what's the difference w us snapping pix at home huh???? anyway, i told him it will be birthday present for my boy lah, since it's his 1 yr old. hahaha...

pink,
normal for man to feel that it's a waste of time lah, cos they got impt things to do mah, bring the bread back home is more impt.... well, for that, i will understand lah... anyway, i told my hubby, it's ok if he dun wanna take the pix, then i will go and take pix together w my boy, 2 of us only!!! hahaha... make him jealous! ;p
 
pink,
ay, where is the potter's cafe huh?? which level at safra? probably won't hv the chance to check back the forum later... you sms me can?
 
wah.. now everyone dashing to buy gina ford toddlers.. heehee

mist: no lah.. it's ok one.. ask ur xavier if he wants to be recruited into teng's gang or not?? can enjoy thebenefits one :p

bbgirl: still early. .can model sharing. but dun expect anna to understand untill 1 plus to 2?.. hmm. can't remember the age .. but def not now

happy.gif

astro,
huh, wanna recruit my xavier?? cannot lah.... tian "grab" those toy balls from my xavier during the gymboree, my xavier didn't even made a sound leh.... he dun dare to "put" his hands on other gals leg leh... hahaha

re: GF books
hahaha... i didn buy any leh, cos me really no time...... sigh.... my books all lying in my room, hvn't touch yet... sigh...
 
mommies,
just want to pour out here..hope u all dun mind..

lately i been thinking of going back to workforce..duno is it i siao or what?! prev, i so hapi if i can stay home..but hor, now i starting to think hw nice if i can go back to work...

not that i dun enjoy jaylen's companion..i enjoy every single day and moments with him..but i duno y i still thinking of working..i dun earn much even if i go back to work..after deducting allowance to my mum, daily expenses and all others deduction, i think every mth, i barely have much $ left too..
if i go back to work, there's work stress...

how ah? hb dun encourage me to go back to work...but my mum ok with that..infact, i know that she wishes that too..she would loves to take care of her grandson. reasons that she encourage me to go back to work coz she feels that i still young. such a waste to stay home. and oso, i get to have 'a life of my own'..meaning i wnt be so suaku..haha..
even as a sahm, at times, she will tell me that she helps me take care j while i take a breather at neighborhood mall..even a trip to ntuc, she oso encourage..coz she said, nid to have time off..think she knows me bah..scare i kisiao to face jaylen all day :p

hb dun encourage coz 1st, not that i earnning alots..no pt gog back to work when i left with nothing much every mth..mayb to him, it means no motivation for me to work...oso, he's in navy..mayb nx yr, he will be posted back to ship..and he will have sailing trip..he hopes that one of us will be with jaylen during his growing up...he feels that he oreadi missing his daily growing and his milestone..so he doesnt wants me to miss that too...he dun want me to regret coz jaylen will be our only child. he's not keen on 2nd or more bb...

can anyone help to gv advise or enlighten? it's been my mind for the past weeks...
 
Mash: Hmm..
How abt considering contract work? Sign up with agencies and let them know you're keen only on contract work. For eg like if someone goes on maternity leave and need a temp staff, or if someone is away on medical leave etc.
This way, you won't feel tied down with your work committment. Once the contract ends, you will be at home again. And if they offer you new jobs and the timing is not suitable, u can turn it down. And while you're working, it's "freedom and self-time" for you while your mum taked care of J.. I think your hubby should be able to accept this. Let him know it's not becos' of the money, it's also becos you need to have a wider scope besides taking are of J.
Not a bad idea right?
 
bbgal,
i cant take on contract work..coz once i decided to return to workforce, my mum will have to quit..so i nid to think v carefully..kinda like 'no turning back' decision if i decided to return to work
 
hey BBmar,
cant find your PM, you sms me?

Mist
will sms you

SQ
same same, my hubby very reluctant to take studio pix with me..he's the one who passed the $3k deal call to me, and i agreed to go, so he die die got to go with me for this one...the next studio pix will be either leia alone or me + granny + leia.

Angel
yohoo! Kaiser is happy bb now, so we'll get to see him on sat!
you on leave already?

Babygirl
u are another innovative mummy...know how to form mini gym at home

WHO IS KEEN TO GO GYMBOREE NEXT WEEK? I CAN GO ANYTIME....FROM WED ONWARDS

Mash
if J is going to be your only child, you may want to consider spending more time with him? becos u wont have another chance to go thru the same process...guess your hubby has a point, you may want to wait till J is big enough to go childcare of Kindergarten then go back to workforce?
 
bbgirl,
i dunno how to promote sharing.
but these days when tian munching her apple, we will ask her to give us a bite. she did and then we said thank u. she very happie.. then she kept giving it to ppl.. sigh! not very hygienic la.. still closing my eyes.. haha!
she knows a bit what is GIVE now.

mist.. yalor. i was also in those playpen before.
angel, u fang4 xin1 liao.. good..

mash... if hb is away, then very hard to work, then also jaga J. maybe you can list down all the pros and cons then consider again.. otherwise think think think sometimes will miss some points one. my hb very organised. when i have problem, he will help me list down all the things, then make me compare and think. i think quite useful.
 

mash,
your hubby also in Navy? Which camp is he at? Mine's at Changi.
happy.gif
Hated it when he gotta go for sailing trips. I'll have to jagar everything by myself. Heard from him that his ship & few others might have to go for 2-3 mths trips next year.

If that's really the case & your hubby might be posted back to ship, you might want to reconsider about going back to the workforce. It's not going to be easy having to work and look after baby all by yourself at the end of the day. You'll be too tired to enjoy/play with him.

Or how about those half day part time administrative work? Let me know if you want. I can help you ask my ex-colleagues cos I used to work in recruitment agencies.
