gingerleaf, jovial, ponponta,
welcome back from your trip !
hippo,
glad to hear that adri is ok now...I'm more convinced that it's 热毒 rather than virus thingy.
Re: birthday direct
I ordered from spree for Jav's 1st mth. Spent almost $100 including shipping. I orderd theme invitation cards, giftsack, party flavors, table centerpiece, banners, hanging tingy, lots of ballons n etc....They are all under the same theme so they look really nice when I put them up the function room. All the children love the ballons and each of them get one b4 they go home.
The packing is flat and they are all folded like A4 size cardboards. Not bulky and heavy at all.
Re: Lentils
Can get organic lentils at NTUC organic section.
Re: flashcards
I've been flashing GD flashcards to Jav ever since he's 4mths. I borrowed GD 'How to teach your baby to read' from library b4 I bought the cards. Then got another 2 books 'How to teach your baby math' and 'How smart is your baby' when I bought the English and Maths kit from GD.
You need to flash very fast else it's not working. I've not tested Jav b4 so I dunno if Jav understand. Anyway, GD says not to test baby.
