zhuzhu,
smecta is for diarrhoea for kids. lacterfort is acidophilis (probiotics) to introduce good bacteria to markus stomach to fight d 'bad bacteria'. perhaps markus is too young for antibiotics. to help him clear his diarrhoea completely n faster, diary is really not suitable for now loh. u can try pediasure (abotts) or nutren (nestle) that is milk powder w almost zero lactose. pediasure is tasty, i tink markus wld like.
cheezel, nellu,
i brought ash n cher to gogobambini, they love. cher can play in d kids area but mus supervise as big kids wld b running ard. is chuan climbing ard w them!! but fun. else there is a smaller bb play area.
sgn,
cher wen for free trial at gymboree once. no i din take up d membership cos i waitg for her to b older then decide wat class more suitable for her. for now, i evytx brg her go kaikai or outdoor n let her run, play n explore.

Heheh...Just a intuitive feeling I guess...but I figured your England is quite good and no wonder, coz you are into PR! I guess you must be doing quite well in your job...did you ever find a pity sometimes that you gave up your job and be a SAHM? Believe your friends must have asked you this question b4.
By the way, that time when you went France, it's a business trip for hubby & family?
Smalldreams
Glad you finally got my email....
The whole trip was shopping & eating...and I got alot of clothes for Jonas...so I guess he's always on my mind whilst in HK...called him every alternate day.
Cheezel
What's your email addy? I send you the link for the pics....

my hubby bought 2 bottles of the minyak oil from his colleague who recommededsay its good for wind in the tummy. i used for a while then i stop and change to ru yi oil as the ruyi oil bottle is smaller and easier to carry ard. last night i tried on Javen, not bad. I gave him gripewater too la. so prob the 2 take effect and help to get rid of the gas in his tummy. he seems better last night liao.
Btw, what minyat means? what is it made of?...i saw the bottle got picture of a plant.....

Too early to think about primary school lei…maybe we should look at playschool now? I know Etonhouse is FAMOUS! But damn expensive…..something like $6000 for a term (around 12 classes).

Got it...email you after this.

SpringD,
thanks for the compliment on my INK-GRUND! hahaha it's deteriorating at an alarming speed!
yes yes i MISS my job terribly. I won't say I was doing very well lah...just ok..and can be better... mostly i missed having the autonomy, the independence (financially) that comes with having a career.
last trip to France and UK, yes, it was hubby's classes actually in France (for 2 weeks), then holiday with a friend (and the 3 of us of course)for 1week in UK aft that. So enjoyable that I really didn't want to come home. I still miss UK a lot.
i'm still not that brave to leave Josh at home with my parents and scoot off for getaway with hubby. :S
smalldreams, mummypoh, sanrio,
it is 1000000 times more SHIOK to spend your own money freely!!
...but then if someone tells you, "just spend the money" and don't question on the purchases aft that...this is the SHIOK-est!!! hahaha
zhuzhu, and everyone else,
RE: pri sch
i self confess i'm kiasu! my hubby got me into thinking abt this. He said "must plan you know. then if property mkt goes down, we can consider shifting nearer to the school." Alamak..how to right? now not X2 income anymore leh.
anyway we are planning to try to put Josh to either SJI Jnr or Nanyang Pri (er..only because I am alumnus)..if the competition gets too stiff, i may just forget abt the whole thing.

Yup....that a HIGH-END playschool to go...many expatriats kids there...singapore based CC got government subsidy I believe so the fees more reasonable...this one is a private international school..hence the difference.
Nellu
Envy Envy Envy!! Hubby go there for classes and the whole family goes along...got extension to UK somemore.
Hmm...As for Primary school...since you are a alumni member of these 2 very well-known school, guess shouldn't be a problem to get Josh in? I heard that serving as a volunteer with the school for a few years also helps....

Definitely suitable for our kiddos!! In fact i can't wait to bring Josh...hubby and I keep on waiting with bated breath for this!
smalldreams,
dun envy me lah..the trade off i have to deal with is to be single parent A LOT. My hubby travels for classes and work A LOT. So i'm also made to work very hard at home. Besides, i don't get to travel that much. The last trip we went along because we thought his being away for 2 weeks is far too long for me to deal with things alone at home. The UK holiday is my bonus! cos our friend was really nice to me and brought me around and made my hubby be the babysitter. hahaha..to think he is my hubby's best friend somemore...
abt volunteering, it's such a headache! i wish we dun have to do that. my pri sch classmate and i were just discussing abt this too, and for him it's worse cos he got no time to volunteer mah..
sanrio,
if i had that kind of benefits, i'd be very 'buay gum guan' to leave my job!

nellu,
I also interested to know about SSO lei...
Also, do you know that just being alumni and in the alumni association put in one phase ahead of those who volunteer...so I suggest that you try to get yourself in the alumni association, then you dont have to do volunteer already.
I think i am also going to do that for my primary school...try to get into the alumni association..

unfortunately i used to be SSO fren. membership expired liao..cos aft they started performing at esplanade we decided to 'boycott' them..hahah hubby complain that SSO is not good enough for the price that they are charging.. he very high class ah..
ab baby proms, i do remember that there is a section of their programme which allows the kids to go and play with the instruments. I think this is quite interesting. of course there will be performance too, but will be short enough for kiddos.
my only concern/worry is that small kiddos like ours may not get much chance with the instruments or may not be able to sit thru the whole thing as with older kiddos. but i think it is worth a try.

gee, this is the first time I've heard of such a programme by SSO! I'm so not an SSO-fan, at the risk of sounding uncultured, I seriously can't connect with it! But my hubby sure can. His late dad was an SSO conductor aeons ago... I guess hubby would be keen to let Adam attend this. maybe he'll the the only dad among the mummies here, hehehe
Whats that event about, anyway?

I think I'll stick to a neighbourhood school. or perhaps explore tanjong katong pri at the very most... quite a mix of nationalities there. But of course, getting in is another story...
Any ideas on where to go on weekends apart from shopping centres? Some place for our kids to roam & explore...
