Hello All Mummies *wave wave*
I have MIA for some time, not sure if the mummies here still remembers me. My girl is Andrea...
Angel,
Nice meeting you last sat. Happen to see the post here about Berries Orchard, so, I have some question about Jade's teachers. How do you find Jade's teachers? Does Jade enjoy her class?
My elder boy used to attend N1 there too, but the teachers are now different. There is one teacher who taught my boy N1 last year who is very good, apparently transferred to Bishan brance now.
Btw, what makes you pick Orchard Branch? I have tried Hougang branch last year, dont find the teachers good.

atinarin,
Andrea was attending JG Billigual for 2 terms last year. Hmmm.... I find so so only. If your gal is attending Pre-Nursery on Mon-Fri, JG curriculum is very similar. I have pulled Andrea out from JG and awaiting to join Berries as she is still not ready for unaccompanied classes.
Andrea is on waiting list for Sat morning slot for 10.45am, same class as Jade....

Hi Magoo,
I have enrolled her, but will be starting from Term 2, ie End March. Dont think she is ready, her behaviour is very babish.. Bet she will cry her lungs out when I put her in. Haiz... I have been asking her every morning since 2 wks ago if she wants to go school, she said No and shake her head.
She is now toilet-trained, but her maturity still not there to go school lei..

Hi Tiffany,
Who was ur teacher at JG? Mine is Farhan & Julie. My gal is currently at JG @ Forum and she is enjoying herself. She is pretty much an audio learner who dun really pay attention in class..but surprisingly, she knows what is taught. Personally, i find JG teachers better than GUG and childcare teachers.
Re: Fussy eater
The teachers complained that my gal is eating SOOOOO little in school. Just a few mouthful and she is done..How???

Hazel is in school since oct 2009 , she started from dont like school , cry for a week but becsuse kor kor is in the same school and the teacher will bring her to kor kor's class to reassure her that he is still around.
She slimmed down alot after 1 month in school and teachers say she is very choosy with food.
She begin to slowly like school, slowly gain back her weight. Start singing songs and learning her ABCs ...
Nowadays when she is sick , she will ask if cant she go to school ... and on weekends she will miss her friends. Her list of friends goes on and on .... chloe , caden , bell bell .... hehe
Soon ur kids will be like Hazel!

Magoo,
Good to hear your boy has accepted his fate..
Andrea's church kindy only accepts kids who are toilet-trained. Also, being a Sep baby, I thought sending her in Jan would be too scary/early for her. So, I opt to send her starting from Term 2. Meanwhile, I am trying to talk to her daily about how interesting school is...I want to settle her to Pre-Nursery school then later Berries. Dont want to tramatise her.
Poohwei,
Andrea was from Evans road Sat afternoon class. Her English teacher was Melissa and chinese teacher is Gai lao si. Not that JG is not good, but I thought the learning pace is slow. Andrea enjoyed her classes, just that mummy is so bored with the programme, find it so slow pace and repetitive. Moreover, she will be starting her daily Pre-Nursery soon, so, I withdraw her from JG. I plan to put her in Berries to focus on mandarin. Being a weekend mum, I cant have too many enrichment classes for her. Also, so expensive to send her to too many la..
Florence,
Good to hear Hazel settled in well. I hope Andrea will learn to like school too.

Hi Tiffany, nice meeting u too
hope ur néw job goes well, and dont worry I will make sure Rachel takes good care of u! Haha...
Yes Jade is enjoying her berries classes...at home she will sing the songs and she knows all the words that were taught...I am so amazed at how fast she learns things. When I ask jade if she likes berries, she says yes! But when i tell her mummy can't stay with her, she doesn't want to go! But i am sure with more time she will learn to 'accept her fate' too!
Re teachers, I find they are very good! They have so much energy and patience, and can tell they genuinely like to teach. They are very animated...During the class, all the kids are so captivated, adults too haha.

Hi Angel,
Thanks for "looking after" me.. hahha.. Rachel definitely looks like a very pleasant girl and hope we can work well together.
Good to hear Jade is enjoying and she is so clever. She is absorbing well. Agree that the way they conduct their classes are very interesting. Very happy to hear that this time slot has good teachers too. Saw briefly from above post that you will be going to PNG in Apr? Looks like Andrea will not have a chance to see Jade in the same class loh...

Hi Magoo,
I can understand how u feel. After skipping class for 4 days when we were away for cruise, Edison cried badly at school. That day, I assigned my helper to sit outside the class to make sure Edison is OK. Once they lost the momentum, they have to start all over again.
This week is better for Edison. Today, when my PIL picked him from school, they saw him playing happily with friends. He cried for a while when I left him there this morning. The teacher said he stopped crying when I walked out of the classroom.
For Roseola, PD has some lotion to apply to reduce the itchiness. Did you get the lotion from PD?

Sarah is not alone. My girl when she see those childcare picture with children, she will say she want to go to school too. She can even tell my mum that her school uniform is yellow!! (cherie hearts)!! But mummy still can't bear to put her in childcare!!
Magoo
Speedy recovery to Ayden, hope he will adjust well next Monday!
Arisz
I'm sure you can do it. For lunch and dinner, why not try those delivery for this short period. I think they normally have trial or if you are accessible to coffeeshop nearby, just ta bao as food is important to give you strength!!

sigh,...today so drama...i am so tired. had to cook up a story to send my mum's maid home. poor girl. taking care of old people really isn't easy. even i sometimes, get frustrated at my mum ridiculous accusation and paranoia. feel bad firing someone. somemore she is so attached to my kids. with this episode, i am so glad i didn't have a maid... headache. me and hubby are too kind. if got maid, surely we'll be taken advantage of our kindness.

Hi mummies, Good morning!
Magoo,
Ryan just recovered from Rosella too. He had 3 days of high fever and then broke out in rashes 4 days before his bday party. I was praying so hard that the rashes will subside before his party!! Otherwise he will be a very ugly bday boy! Then lucky all gone within 2 days. This is his 2nd time round getting it. First time when he was 8 mths old. I brought him to PD, she prescribed fever medicine and very confidently said 3 days of fever and then asked me to watch out for rashes. And if no rashes and fever persist then bring back to see her. Rashes are not itchy so actually no need to do anything.

Magoo,
I am not sure if she is really popular. When we used to see her at Thomson PD Ctr, she doesnt seemed that popular, usually dont have long waiting time, unless some other popular PD. She seemed to be quite young and started out not many years, so, I guess she is slowly building up her clientele.
I do like her approach and patience. She gives very good advice and very personal and friendly too. I feel comfortable with her.

Hi Arisz,
Yokogi has another BP on Shichida materials today. I'm interested in the random shapes cards. But this one is quite expensive - $128 per set. Want to seek your opinion on it. You think it's good?

mummies with kids in berries
I just went for a trial yesterday with nate. i sat in and felt that 1.5hours is too long. i really dunno what the children learnt. esp for the kids with parents not around, the children are running all over the place and not participative at all. there's 4 kids but i felt the teacher can't really handle them and there's no asst teacher around.
is it the same for others or maybe i just went at the wrong time/place?

Hi mummmies,
Need to ask something personal. I want to stop having children for now. Coz if I get preggy in PNG I will be in big trouble! Anyone do contraceptive implants before? I'm wondering whether to do it in the arm or do one down there. Any thoughts to share? Anyone know how much it costs? And recommendation on which gynae to go do it?

I believe it depends on how capable the teacher is handling the kids. I tried Hougang branch and that particular class teacher cannot make it. Then I went to Orchard, my boy loves it so much and he looks forward every week and able to read all his cards.
Angel,
I had this Hormonal IUD inserted. I went to Dr Eunice Chua at Thomson Medical - TLC, think its 3rd floor. The Hormonal IUI is call mirena.
http://www.mirena.com/html/index.html
Had it inserted in Jul last year, so far so good. I havent really get menses, just some light spotting each month or none.. Symptom varies from individual, so, I count myself lucky that I have almost no menses. My gynae recommended this to me, cos I have endometriosis problem, so, no menses will be better for me. Hope info helps.
I paid about $700 plus, including a pap smear test too.
