Leo,
what's with the KFC and Spa? Sorry ah, I'm a little out of touch...
PGal
Yes, she was already a transfer. I don't know if she's going to get a new employer but I had to pay board and lodging for her for 21days yesterday (plus still paying her levy). She has been in Singapore about 3 years. She's Filipino. Yes, I have one replacement but I'm thinking if I want it...maybe not. Think the agency a little dodgy.
Sanrio,
how old is your son? think my niece (4) is also in St James...I remember it was St something.
Ya, what's with the two kindie?

Augleo, yes my #2 is due in May. My stomach is stretched to itz fullest liao, think gg to explode. This pregnancy is far worst than the first one. #2 is very "hiong", his kicks are hard and painful, unlike his "ghor ghor", though active but his kicks are the playful sort.
Sigh .... me sending #1 to NTUC childcare when he turns 18 months, cuz maid cannot handle 2 babies at the same time. I really feel heartpain for my #1, having to be thrown in such harsh environment at only 18 months. boo hoo hoo ....

Augleo, NTUC Childcare is not D best choice to put a small toddler in. But I really have no choice, cuz of convenience I must sacrifice quality. Sending #1 for half a day, so after maid finishes household chore and #2 in the morning, she can pop downstairs to pick #1 up. If i want better childcare service, nobody to pick him up.That's my dilemma.
Cool, the kicks #2 is giving me can sometimes drive me to tears.

Me from Pei Chun Primary too!!!! So happy to meet my juniors here. I definitely sending my boys to Pei Chun cuz though the standard has dropped, but overall still good. Somemore it is still a SAP school which put a lot of emphasis on both English and Chinese. That's what I like. Since all we need to do is show our report books to guarantee a place, I will die die move near to Toa Payoh when the boys are 5 or 6 years old. Now me staying in Pasir Ris.
Pisces, don't like to sound like a snob, but frankly, the kids there come from diverse background, don't be surprise the language they use. But then again, I cannot forever keep my boy in such a protected/comfortable environment, he needs to be exposed to adverse places to learn. Am I being too evasive? The one in my block, has HFMD outbreak before, and it is quite run-down.

Sanrio, Min, TaiTai, I think if I want to send my children to a school I think is good but too far, I'll also move so as to minimise their travelling time. When I was in JC, my school was more than 1 hour from my home! my late night study habit formed then, because I'd be so tiredfrom travelling that I will nap away or do other things and only leave studying till night.
So I dun wan my children,esp if they are young, to suffer like that.
cool_d, yah lor, it'd be good if that new Pri sch will become "branded"! But more important to me is conducive environment and dedicated teaching staff...Mee Toh and Nan Qiao not bad right?
MK: yep, redemption from 27Mar. Went to My Litttle feet website but so disappointed to find only 9 pairs of shoes for boys!

SprD: dun mean to scare you... but I remembered at Lele's 9mths assessment at the polyclinic, one of the first thing nurse asked was, "is your child using walker?" I said "sometimes" n she immediately told me to stop using. She said that based on the latest PD research, it has been proven that there is a link between children walking tip-toed and their use of walkers.
She reminded me quite a few times not to use walker cos once the tiptoe habit established, quite hard to rid.
For me, I have never liked walkers la so I seldom let lele sit in. But MIL likes to put him in after meals for "exercise". So I told her about nurses warning and we all stopped using...

Hi Augleo,
So far I have done the following:-
- Booked the venue
- Send out invitation (via Email or sms)
- ordered the cake
- Booked photographer (for this, I'm very kiasu, already booked in Dec)
- Booked for the person to come to the party venue to inflate the balloons
- Outsource All BBQ related items & Agar Agar to Sister in law. She will buy, prepare and deliver.
- Party favour
- Purchased the Decoration items
Things not done:-
- Buffet Catering
- Haven't select photo for montage (friend offered to do as she has the software for this. but i do not intend to show during the party as troublesome to bring laptop and projector)
- Haven't purchase paper plate, forks etc...
- Need to send reminder to guests, photographer, cake shop, balloons inflation services.
I'm quite lazy, so I outsource most of the things. On the actual day, I only have to bring down the necessary items to the chalet and take care of the decorations.... but balloons outsource to ppl to inflate for me. The rest of the items just wait for people to deliver.

hey springdance
sorry, forgot to add that room for desserts doesn't do delivery now coz they said the delivery guy they used to engage gave them some problems so they've yet to find a replacement. so i'll have to collect the cake myself.
hi dlim
