So how's Jonas now? And how are you? I hope yr flu hasn't developed into something quite full-blown. Sad huh life in singapore... sick also must return to office to clear work. It's like that with me too, then by the time you leave, half day gone liao, and goodness how much virus we've spread around to the others...(whoops..heheh)

With regard to the 4-mths maternity leave, yeah, Cheezel, sure hope you'll qualify for it! Envy!! I envy my colleagues who are going to pop soon - they should qualify for it as there's a 1 yr window period i heard? But then again, am sure our older colleagues also feel the pinch, coz during their time, only 1 or 2 mths paid maternity leave. If everyone wants to wait for the juiciest carrots, then I guess no one will ever have babies!
I agree with Nellu too, it's about a thorough change in mindset. it's an opportunity cost too - career or babies. But personally for me, career I can put one side, but family matters most. At the end of the day nothing can ever replace family...

sometimes when adam shoves his cousin, I can't help but wonder too that he did it coz toddlers are learning about their own territory, so it's natural to protect what's theirs (whatever they're holding). i guess we gotta educate the older toddlers not to snatch etc. I caught his cousin (only 3!!) using her leg to kick adam when she had the opportunity to do so, so I held it back & moved her leg away. she sat down on the bed quietly as if feeling upset i did it, but I just ignored her. hehe. Of coz if adam kicked her, I'll give him a good tiny whack on his legs too. Must teach by actions, cannot by words only...
