Jovialz,
Oh, if that’s the way they teach bilingual, I think hubby sure oppose. He say babies will be confused because to them they will treat it as 1 whole language.. i think he read it somewhere..mmm….but anyway, I will call to check..oh dear, that’s a big scratch on your car! So “xing tong”! But did you make sure you park nicely in the car park because they are people out there cannot stand car parked lop sided and eating into another place and will do something to your car to “teach” you a lesson… and yes, that’s vandalism!
For fabric, can try spotlight at plaza sing but of course fabric there are more expensive but choices quite good..
Ponponta,
Thanks..hehe..try try for 1 lah
Hippo,
Hehe..you’re following the current American idol huh.. I watch one episode but think last season contestant is much better! I really like the winner and the runner up! both equally good!!

mummies,
abt introducing multiple language/dialects to our tods right, sometimes i really wonder if it's a good thing.. i see my nephew, he's mode of communication is so rojak. so far, he is not mastering any dialects.. all "ban tong shui".. but then nowadays, parents also communicate like that, so difficult to control lor..hehe..

aria, i tink there's always 2 sides to the coin ba.. i was spoken to in 3 languages / dialect since young. and i m proud to say i m pretty proficient in all 3.. cos kids are getting out of touch with dialects nowadays and i reali like cantonese to stop my grandma frm talking to adri in canto.. keke.. and i tink it is impt to learn mandarin cos china, the sleeping giant is reali so influential and lotsa money making opportunities.. so.. keke..
chersam, erm.. sad to say the swell only appear a few days later.. it is very heaty, so need to drink more liang.. how is little cherie? taken her first steps already?
hippo, i also missed the final.. they told me mickey mouse idol had won.. sigh...
ariajo, my mom had a friend who was being introduce multiple language and he got confused..so cannot speak till much later..i so scared it will happen to anders coz from young, he is being exposed to mandarin, english and hokkein...will try in 2 years time.. either rabbit or dragon..pray hard for a gal..

aria_jo: i also want yz to be exposed to cantonese from my mum cos i think its a really nice language. myself, i know english, chinese n cantonese from young and i think not so much of a problem being confused or anything.
chersam: poor u, hope the swelling wont come out for you and even if so, it will be minimum..
jovialz: wah really pissed to hear such things happening. dun understand why pple will do such a thing! good thing that the scratch is minimised liao.

ecookie/hippo,
actually understanding these language is one thing and mastering is another. i really pei fu those who can master both english and mandarin as in can speak and write very well in both! that's is the ultimate but most of us fall into the ""ban tong shui" category right? hahaha...

aria jo,
i ever read up an article tat there's this ang mo boy who was exposed to many languages (included those int'l languages) since young. Then come to a certain point, he suddenly forget all languages, dunno how to speak le. May sound scarly here but i tink in s'pore still ok. The most our todd is exposed to 3 or 4 languages/dialects at a time, still acceptable lor.
ponponta & hippo,

ponponta,

Chersam,
Me too!!! I would love to learn cantonese too. I can understand, but can't speak well. However, my HK friend told me I sound like a filipino maid in HK... haha... sounds pathetic right?
CM,
Did you try Zoo Phonics? Read that it's a Bilingual class too. I wanted to check out the Thomson branch.... how do you find it? did you try the parent & child session, or the independent toddler weekday class?
