thx mummies for all the concern...I always dun wanna c the cc name appear on my hp coz its always to inform me my boy kena bullied again. So which is better? victim or bully? 
ecookie, wah...u always got "watches" to bring back for ur mum ah? Tink its hard for the cc to control also since the kiddos action very fast.

maruko,
sama sama, i hate to receive calls fm cc too, very often its bad news. got once i rec'd 3 calls in a day, then i still jokingly tell everyone tat i need to buy my hp no. liao. who knows, tat weekends my hp no. really came up 1st prize although the number is opened fm the back but i forgotten to buy

maruko, actually i also wonder whether it's better to be victim or bully. my girl is quite mild, and i'm always teach her to share/give in to others. so she usually gets her toys snatched away when she's playing with others. very poor thing right... but then teaching her to snatch back like not right also. how???
zhen zhen, now i learn something new!! hahahaha thanks to hannah..
maruko, i can understand how u feel leh.. i wldnt wan my girl to be a bully. but neither will i be able to tolerate pple bullying her.. ha. wat to do? dilemma lor..
ecookie & chersam, i have told my hb my plans for the "contact" list for the school.
#1. my mum obviously cos she is the nearest and can react the fastest.
#2. hb. esp if adri is the bully, pls call him.
#3. if the above 2 are uncontactable after 3 tries each, then it will be me.. whahahahhahahaa! wishful thinking hor?? LOL!
exception to the above-contact list: if adri is being bullied or pushed around, i wana be #1!!! hahahahaha

zhen zhen, hi5! adri looks like a chilli padi esp with her big eyes when she dun smile but hor, she always get picked on by kiddos one leh. maybe they think she got the "qian bian" face.. hahaha! but this silly ger can be pretty SLOW in reacting and she will treat it as nothing happened even though she is just whacked!!! argh!! wat can i do? if she dun react, i can't possibly go and "BULLY" the kid back also leh.. hahaha
hippo, i know what u mean. outside, i tell her "it's ok. we must share our toys", inside i'm thinking "go get your toy back from that irritating kid!". but i'm glad she's quite generous with her stuff. hopefully this bodes well for how she will react with her mei mei.
hahaha Carissa is always the victim so i very heartpain and always say in my heart"why U so st*** go and bully back la ... sobsob" den now come my Carlson ... A little Big Bully peng peng peng ... but good and bad la .. .boy must be able to protect his sis ... but when teacher call ... den peng la ... i scare man ... i think i better give the school my hb's hp no but he always nbr answer the phone one ... so in the end will call me too !!!SYEO

Hippo
Actually, I am 90% confirmed on Cherie Hearts and the term fee after subsidy for full day is about $500 plus. But but ... I saw Matty's school photos and can help thinking that Cherie Hearts don't have those gym facilities for the toddlers to run around!! hiaz hiaz ... still procastinating!!! But location still important as I have to think of times I need to bring her and back to school so it must be really near my work place!!
Mummies going to pop soon, have a safe delivery yah! Guess the weather is just find to do confinement now ... it keeps raining so kind of cool !!

zhen zhen,
who will be fetching hannah to and fro from school? our plan is to drop J in school since it starts at 8. then MIL will take a bus down to fetch J at 11. but my lazy MIL has been dropping hints that it's quite far. (which I think it's bullshit cause 5 mins walk to her also considered far) I will consider letting J take schoolbus when he go N2.

Read about hannah's replies to you and she is really advanced in her speech leh. Mine is still on single words but at least she is finally saying something liao.
Re: School Fee/CC/Pre-school
the fees are really ex whether they are 3hrs, half or full day right!!! Subsidy is on $150/$300 for working mums and most of us who only have one now don't have the CDC thingy .... It's really not cheap to raise a kid in Singapore and we are only talking about two years old ..... looking at the rest who talk about tuition fees/ ballet / etc etc .... it's really scary just to think about it leh

bbwow: same as me! cos the nursery that we are thinking of sending yz to is located to the east but we are still staying in the central. @_@. so the plan is for us to drop him in the morning and then for him to take a school bus back to my mum's place (ard 10-15mins drive). abit heartpain and bu fang xin for him to take school bus at such a tender age. have to see how again. hopefully, i will be a PTWM or SAHM by then.
we decided not to ask my mum to take bus to fetch him cos quite far and also the hassle of both taking bus back to her hse again.. but for ur case, its only 5mins walk!! ur mil is really lazy.. pai seh for saying this.
totoro_bb: there are 2 cherie heart branches at ubi i think . one is the new one u said at ubi ave 2 or something. the other one is nearer to bedok that side, but just opp ubi ave 1.. u can consider that too..

there was once I told Travis after he kena bully to fight back. End up he bcom very 'violent' at home. Den I dun dare to say again liao. Will rather him b victim den go ard bullyin ppl. But of coz will b "sim tia" when hear calls abt him being bullied. Actualli, he in the wrong also for pushin the kiddo, dats y the kiddo "buay song" wanna revenge.
seems like most mummies got the same mixed feelings as me. to b or not to b? kekeke...

to b or not to b? kekeke...totoro, long time no see! glad to hear that kelly is finally speaking. you must be very relieved. but don't worry lah. different kids develop at different pace. like i was telling the other mummies, my girl is good with her verbal skills, but her motor skills aren't very good. until now, she still cannot jump! and your girl has been jumping ard for a long time!!
junnie, she's really very inquisitive. keeps on asking what's this, what's that. and she will observe how we pronounce it, so that she can say it too.

I'm looking at the one at ubi ave 1 as I might be able to take company feeder bus to MRT if the timing is right. When the circle line is fully opened, then taking train is not a problem also. Location wise is about 15mins from my work place by bus + some walking. By car, less then 10mins will reach.
Hippo
Yah, now I need to change my tactic at home. At first, she was all excited about wanting to go to school but these few days she always come up with something and we keep saying go school cannot behave like that etc etc .... end up this morning, when my mother ask her ... she give a BIG NO to school !! hiaz ....
Will work with the school to let her sit in maybe half a day in Nov then if everything ok, I will start her in mid-Dec ... hope that everything goes well......

ecookie,
that's my concern also. taking school bus at 2 yrs old is really a no-no for me. he sure can't sit still and fall from his seat. logistics is 2nd problem to me. I told my hubby that I won't settle for PCF or neighbourhood school just for my in-laws walking convenience.
