CD,
i think it comes and goes one...It's been 2 mths liao since Josh started CC. I still remember on the 5th day he was so guai and went in w/o crying. Aft that every morning will wayang dun want to go in to school. recently we discovered the trick. If his own teacher is not at the door to receive him, he's perfectly fine!
so we try to catch the timing and send him there and requested for his teacher not to be at the door. he just goes in nicely himself and doesn't cry!
when it's time to go home, sometimes he don't want to leave btw...
SD,
take a night flight. it will be easier to handle esp if the whole day he's been tired out liao...
that's what we do with our flights, esp those more than 6 hours...for those like 3-4 hours type of flights, it doesn't matter what time you fly as long as it is convenient to your schedule.
you mean Jonas now still demands to be carried ah? josh only sometimes but most of the time he's happy to walk on his own or be in the stroller.

hehe...actually i kindda miss the busybuddies class with u all. Jaren still cannot sit but he can support his head by himself. He seems happily content lying on the bed suckling his thumb. Haiz...when get him to do tummy exercise, he will also happily lie on the bed with tummy on....only attempt to flip when i put him on his side n give hima little push....hehe...
This morn, my hubby brought Javen to sch. Also cry when going in...but stop when he is sitting inside waiting for the rest of his classmate to come. Whenhe saw my hubby standing outside, he cry again but didnt attempt to run out. Think he miss us when he's in sch la....cos when i ask him y he cry, he only say "miss mi mi and dad dad"..."no go sch". teacher commented that he's ok during class...no crying...no more beating of other kids liao...phew...n interact well as he can speak quite well and express what he wants to the teacher. But he still carry on to his bag and water bottle. refusing to put down his things for the whole 2 hrs in class.
Javen also like to be carried. only want to walk on his own in a shopping mall, playfround, or when he sees something he likes n want to touch.

when u said javen likes to cling on to his bad n water bottle..it reminds me of another boy in Markus' class...this boy was 2 mths older than Markus..had been there since he was 18 mths..but for the 2 days when I was there..he keep on clinging to his towel..some sort of security blanket..

For the going trip, we book a night flight but return is a afternoon flight. But I guess the difference might not be alot coz Jonas will want to be CARRIED when he sleep, especially in a unfamilar surrounding. So I figured our arms will probably break (after carrying weight of more than 10kg) for 7 hours when we reach Aust!
Cheezel
Ya lor...I miss classes with you & Javen too!
Javen could speak very well already during the Busy Buddies times and I am sure he is even better now. Only my boy has no progress at all.
Are you going to plan for any birthday party for Javen?

SD,
wah..tough leh...maybe can start training him now? or if you dare to try, give him a bit of cough syrup to knock him out. would he allow you to sit down and carry him?
josh dun want use to carry him to sleep since we came back from London last year. it was huge relief man!
SD, Cheezel,
Talk abt bday party, i haven't thought abt Josh's yet. but likely to celebrate in his cc.
zhuzhu,
HK weather in march is nicer and a lot cooler than in SG. only when in Jun-Aug then it gets very humid and warm.

Talk about medicine to knock Jonas out...I did ever thought of giving him "Actifed" on the plane...sure to work one... but seems very wicked lei...giving him medicine when he is fine & healthy.
Hmm...Training him to sleep eaily on own...that seems very difficult to attain before our departure date... Ya know wat, during the weekends, there's heavy rain & thunder rite? He was awaken by the lightest thunder after a short half hour nap (same case for both Sat & Sun) and refuse to sleep on his bed and insisted to be carried...he was wailing & wailing each time the thunder sounds. Hiazzzz..............
ZhuZhu
I'm not even quite sure he can speak simple words actually??? He does makes occasional really soft sounds that seems like 'Thanks' or 'Yes' but we really can't tell.. He seems shy to talk.
Sometimes I find travel agents are really slow to get response from hotel...I think bookings made directly through the hotel's website seems faster and easier to put in requests.
Cool_D
My also stil pondering whether to throw party (which needs ALOT of $$) or keep to a simple family outing for Jonas' birthday. My hubby is DEFINITELY for option 2... afterall, we will have spent quite a hefty amount for the Aust trip b4 his birthday.

Pisces Gal,
Yes, ordered previously from Ai Mummy. But I think she is slowing down her orders this year. You can check whether she is ok to take some more.
I think like 1.5kg, cost around $76.
I will be getting this year birthday cake from PrimeDeli. They have nice pic of Care Bear. My girl now like Care Bear.
Wonder_baby,
How are you now? Well?

Alo alo everyone!
So what's the topic today?
Sgn, wonder_baby
Hmm, I think I better start toilet training soon too. Yesterday I saw a cute toddler's toilet seat at a supermarket, maybe I shud get that.
sgn
I don't dare let Adam go bottomless. If he pees, a LOT OF CLEANING UP TO DO! My mom is very particular with urine coz if not she'll have doubts that the place is clean enough... hehe.
wonderbaby
Hey take care. Get enough rest ok? Do you have some time for yrself to catch up on your sleep? Would someone be able to help take care of Chloe while you have some "me-time" to rest, sleep or just do whatever you wish to do? I think that's important too. When you feel more relaxed, you might feel better.
Yesterday silly me just washed my hair & w/o drying it, I put on my scarf/tudung. By evening, I felt I was getting a cold!! And I really regretted it... I worried I'd fall ill, then what's gonna happen to my work & adam...
Springdance
Hey, don't worry. Adam also not talking much. Just making some purposeful babbles. Adam's cousin, only 14 mths, can say "CAT" already. I was envious ! However, that girl don't know how to look for the cat, while Adam, who's much older, can really hunt the cat down and lure the cat out with his cat sounds. ehhe. So i guess i'll just wait till he starts talking

Hi working mummies /nellu(u still working w d financial sectors?)

tis put me in stress as he is d sole breadwinner n we hv 2 young kids. i really miss holidays but guess we may hv to put it on hold now since hb strongly feels tat we shd b prudent in our spendings tis tx n hv savings for rainy days..
evyday he cum bk hm, can c his stressful face n he wld share w me abt his big clients closing down their plant, retrenchment, pay cut, forced leave etc..
really pray n hope tat our country can get over tis recession soon...

Chix essence taste good to me on the contrary… you ever thought about going to a Chinese physician too “Tiao Li” your body? My hubby’s colliq’s wife used to be rather weak too and could not carry a baby…but she managed to give birth to one gal after getting a Sinsei’s help to prescribe medicine to strengthen her body for a period of time.
ZhuZhu
This is Markus 1st overseas trip? I hope your family have a pleasant holiday in HK….. all the good foods in HK… Yummy!!

No toilet training for Jonas yet too…
Thanks for your encouragement about his speech development… Like Adam, Jonas know how to look for stuff too when we ask him to and it really puts a proud smile on our face when he manage to accomplish it. Just that I’m getting kinda anxious to hear him start talking…
Sanrio
So interesting that our boys are so similar…I wonder if I do ever get a second kid and is a gal…whether she’ll be smart like Cher.
The economy is doing bad now…. Especially if your hubby deals with the US markets, it’s even worst. But dun get too stress up yourself ya… you are your hubby’s emotional support and I’m sure he definitely also appreciates what you have done so much for the family.

evytx i c him so stressful, i oso feel a bit down cos i m like not 'contributing' to d family yet i still can tell him, 'can we go for holidays?' cos i see d fares so cheap now. i suppose he has to tink further since he is d one tat has to support all of us. i do hv tots of gg bk to work but my hb prefers me to stay at hm w d kids as long as we can still lead our life simply n happily. i shd feel happy n contented hoh

usually it's like when he see me going into the bath rm, or when we r getting into the bathrm for his shower. He does not really tell me he wanna go on e toddler toilet seat unless he sees it. Hehe, got wat i mean? So frequency is dependent on wkdays (most of his time in cc) or wkends, more time wif me at hm.
at tis point, i wun say it's regular.

sgn,
yup, healthcare/medical is perhaps a more stable industry as it still hv to function full force (mayb jus cut down expenses) during all tx. oso during tis tx of economic crisis, more stress n mayb more wld fall sick. yes if i do return to work, wld b bk to my old healthcare line. but now i dun hv caregiver for both ash n cher unless both go cc.

economy is bad. I'm having a hard time everyday trying to get biz. been thinking if I should quit too...cos not getting anywhere, plus preggie now also energy level v low having to take care of the household and Josh.
oil-related industries would not be so badly affected in the long run. Currently the situation that your hb mentioned is likely to be temporal and my guess is it'll probably last for 6-12mths. so just continue to pray...anyway i always feel that if God closes one door, he'll open another.
Janet,
nowadays pple's mentality and attitude with money is very bad. They prefer to spend the money they have at hand than to be prudent. The end result: they'll be in debt lor.
i'm glad my hb is v prudent and we do make it a pt to save, reduce our debt where possible and really look for good deals when we want to buy things or make any spending. The long term prudence does help and I'm really not worried at all abt the current situation and really think we can ride out quite well.
SD,
hehe...not ask you to train jonas to sleep on his own lah...possilbe to train him to go to sleep w/o carrying??
sometimes i think for kiddo's fears and other timid beahviour, it depends on the parents' or caregivers' attitude. We've never acted like "poor baby!" with Josh, whenever he falls or for other stuff.. just say "you are alright. or everything is ok." and he's fine. there was once there was a really loud thunderclap and that was the only time he was scared. and the other time was he was cheeky and ran out of his room (naked) and found that the living room lights were off (really dark) and the front door was opened! and he ran back going "aaaaaahhh!" v hilarious but he's been pretty brave and everyone in our family has been pretty consistent with our treatment of kiddo fears so far.
of course each kid is different but i really feel that if we as parents can show them that there is nothing to fear instead of always sheltering them, it'll really help.
oh and btw, my neighbour's 4yo has this fear for animals. and you know why? my neighbours never made any effort to allay these fears or even show that animals are alright.
just thought this might help..
economy is bad. I'm having a hard time everyday trying to get biz. been thinking if I should quit too...cos not getting anywhere, plus preggie now also energy level v low having to take care of the household and Josh.
oil-related industries would not be so badly affected in the long run. Currently the situation that your hb mentioned is likely to be temporal and my guess is it'll probably last for 6-12mths. so just continue to pray...anyway i always feel that if God closes one door, he'll open another.
Janet,
nowadays pple's mentality and attitude with money is very bad. They prefer to spend the money they have at hand than to be prudent. The end result: they'll be in debt lor.
i'm glad my hb is v prudent and we do make it a pt to save, reduce our debt where possible and really look for good deals when we want to buy things or make any spending. The long term prudence does help and I'm really not worried at all abt the current situation and really think we can ride out quite well.

Alo!

Yeah the economy is very bad now and I feel really worried for some people I work with. I wonder how they are going to ride through this. While I don't think I'll be losing my job, I won't be surprised if I were to get a paycut. No choice lor, it's a necessary thing, and only fair that everyone gets a paycut while the economy is doing so badly.

Hey me too, having problem with getting Adam to sleep. he latches on! And I think it's getting worse. I tried placing adam to sleep by just patting him, but it didn't work. And it didn't help that hubby just told me to latch him on (the easiest way!) to get him to sleep. Urgh. Now that he's turning 2 soon, I'm thinking of getting a bed for him. But we don't have an extra room lah. The "supposedly baby room" though painted in baby blue, is full of books and other rubbish....sighs..
Hmmm..but for some reason, I think I'm ready to try for another one. But now "red light" so... gotta wait for some time before we start ...

hehe, at least we women have tears to let go once in a while to let go together with our frustrations...
nellu
are you at work now? or are you still working from home on some days..?
Re: finances
I'm one of those who spend a lot on nonsense stuff. hehe..I feel guilty sometimes but I also feel like i need to make myself happy. so sometimes i do splurge on famous amos cookies, etc. But I guess I really gotta start saving again (the japan trip wiped out quite a bit of my savings
) I am motivated to start saving for my reno when my flat is ready. If possible, dowant to take reno loan.

sanrio,
btw, whenever there is a downturn/recession, companies do get bought out and there will be a lot of restructuring. This is a very normal condition of things as we go through the economic cycles. it is like an evolution of sorts. it will be tough for sure. and being employees we can only keep positive and be flexible.
