(2007/11) November MTBs

langlao, u made booking already? So I'll jus call them to book the trial?

poissons, i also always go there to eat only but never notice also. ha ha. If int maybe we can join langlao on the 6 Dec.

S@l i jus saw ur macs on ur blog! So lovely....
 


poochi, yes I hv made bookings. do call early to avoid disappointment, think they limit the class size. Can you also ask if we need to pay?
 
langlao, ok ok will call the and ask. Ha mayb after dat we can have ice cream at my fav pl!!

poissons, how u can? If can I will call and help u book.
 
michviv,
Yah, our PD is Dr Yvonne at clementi arcade. I find that she's very detailed and always takes the patience to explain his illness and condition to us. Garreth has been with her since he's 3mths.

Poochi,
U go Clementi Arcade eat wat ah? Everytime we go, the eateries (cake, ice-cream) are all closed..so we end up going to cold storage only.

Langlao,
I PM you liao! Thanks..

Will try calling playdays later to book for the 6 dec slot!
 
poissons, can PM me ur details ie. mummy name / BB name DOB in case they ask me.

poochi:tks i noe about the mobtv but dunno if watch overseas oki or not :p and of cos free better la hehehhehehhe

ueno:ya i will load soon :p,waited for andrew to edit some pixs.....
 
lazykat, sure will bring those clips tat i hv on hand... jus finished packing the clips, phew! now gotta go and rush out more orders. This week really hectic for me, but promised to make nice nice cakes for u all liao...cannot back out! hehehe

Oh ya i hv some macs, u hm? wanna pop by i can pack some for you.

Langlao, ok i think i should hv time to bake macs for Sat...hehehehe. will bake new ones for u all la, this batch im' gonna swallow down soon! *LOL

Weishy, ya agree the pics taken were messy...cos everyone looking at their own hubby *LOL...so on sat, lets ask hubbies to take turns, dun snap all together! and we can also sit down properly 2 rows should be able to squeeze in!
 
poissons:me also interested in getting those tricycle for hayley but dunno which type to choose....local market ones or little tikes etc......
 
Weishy, if u re putting it in HK. Better to get those foldable tricycles. Claire's one got it from HK, paid abt HKD$600+.... coz its foldable and the material not so flimsy lor... Only problem i dun like is they hv limited selection of color, Pink & Blue only... I managed to get the Snoopy one (last one)

Pink => Barbie and Blue => Ultraman. Unfortunately, the tricycle is at my Mum's pl. So u cant see it as a reference.
 
hello mummies...

thanks for welcoming me.. hehehe.. i will make more effort to pop by here more frequently...
actually we'd reli love to come for the gathering tis sat.. but i have a baby full mth celebration to attend... <font color="ff6000">kaye</font>, thank u for emailing me e details...
if i can make it, i'll just pop by for awhile.. but cos i reli cant confirm (need to plan our timing around 2 kiddo's lunch n nap times) i guess its better not to cater any food for us.. but i'll bring along a gift for the gift-exchange if we do make it lah..
kao_smile.gif



<font color="ff6000">lazykat</font>
wow.. im flattered u still rem me from plumsource's gathering... hehe, we all still cant quite figure out who my girl looks like more... but e general consensus is she looks like my mum!


<font color="ff6000">pig, kittybride</font>
cos my kids are juz 1year apart.. initially my main concern was how to balance out my attention to both of them. #2 being newborn requires minimal attention, n #1 at 1+yrs old demands alot of attention. its always the "guilt" of not spending enough time for #2 lor. but i read somewhere that parents shouldnt worry too much abt neglecting subsequent children cos they find most pleasure n stimulating from watching their elder siblings...
other than that, care wise, we do need 1 caregiver for each of them lor...
but when they both grow older, for my kids now.. they start to interact n "play" with each other liaoz... so heartwarming to see lor... hehehe...


<font color="ff6000">pig</font>
"congratz" in advance on your big day this friday!!! have a smooth delivery... bet you can't wait to see #2 rite??
kao_smile.gif

do take care n rest well after ur delivery... but do pop in n share pics of your princess ya!!


<font color="ff6000">plim</font>
wow.. another "toddler" liaoz!!! congratz to ur girl for achieving tis milestone... can imagine how cute she looks when she's walking...
u in US for business trip??? dont worry... our babies will also know n love mummy best at e end of e day... no matter wat okay...


<font color="ff6000">S@L</font>
no prob.. u wan me to find a better shot of her with her hairclip to send you???
sad to say, other than e tiara clip, i havent use any of e clips on her.. cos she recently starts to pull everything off e second i clip for her.. hopefully she'll outgrow tis phase soon n i can "doll her up" with all e nice clippies i got frm u....


<font color="0000ff">playdays</font>
paiseh to ask.. where is playdays??? is it like baby gym type of places??? or more like GUG??? my poor girl havent been to any trials b4... if timing permits wld like to bring her for some too...


sorry for e long postings... u girls r reli reli quick!!! im not catching up fast enough.. hahaha...
kao_sticktongue.gif
 
Starz, great! if u can send me a clearer shot.thanks! Actually Mischa also likes to pull her clips off when i m not looking. what i do is once i put on her hairclip, will quickly distract her so that she forgets abt the clip on the head!
Oh btw i think ur gal resembles u !

cactusnah:u going to mygym???can we join in too,only marine parade mah?
ya andrew also loves cooking but hor......i think i cook better hahhahahhahhaha

Yany:really yummy le..............u guys har.....so good with ur hands
 
Yany: Wow! Such interesting and yummy looking macs!

S@L: Yay! I'm looking forward to trying. Remember to reserve 1 piece for me okie? =)))

Tricycle: I got one for Ethan from Carrefour. They have quite a wide selection for girls and boys. Bought one that has a button for him to play music as he zooms by. He has learnt to press the button by himself then quickly hold on to the handles before we move off! Its a great investment! In my opinion, dun need to buy a "branded" one.
 
Starz: Playdays is at Clementi Arcade along Sunset area. I brought my boy Ethan for a trial last Saturday and wrote a short review for sharing in one of my earlier posts:

Playdays: My verdict? Very good! =) The 2 teachers are very interactive and personal - they remember parents and babies names well and ask alot about the child. The whole lesson is very much like a Julia Gabriel playnest lesson. There is free play, story time, arts and craft, snack time and music time. Ethan thoroughly enjoyed himself. The founder of the centre actually came in to play the keyboard! I like it cos its new and not too crowded yet. =P Let me know what you think? I may consider signing up next year. See how...=)

Me, langlao and Cindy are really into these trials! haha. If you're more interested in the interactive lesson type of trials, you can try Julia Gabriel Playnest (only on weekdays), GUG or Baby jumper gym. For gym trials, there is gymboree, little gym, my gym and JWT kids. So don't worry, there's plenty of trials to try out. If you need more info, just google the name of the schools I listed earlier or PM me.

Have fun!
 
pig: have a safe and smooth delivery!

poissons,
i like ur idea of tricycle club for our babies. AND dressing our bbs to the theme sounds great! i already gotten a xmas hat for Jovan.

playdays trial on 6Dec:
i wan to go! i have gotten the fee &amp; schedule for playdays. seems quite reasonable but they have only 1 class on weekend. sat 3-430pm. cfm v packed.

k@ye,
u have my mobile &amp; email rite? i have ur contacts &amp; addy already. i will pass u cash on sat also
happy.gif
btw, ur big pot of porridge for our bbs is for lunch or dinner huh? J takes lunch at 1130am &amp; dinner at 530pm. sorry huh, i blur like sotong.

Xmas cum Nov Babies Birthday Bash:
btw, Jovan is still coughing. yday took him to PD again &amp; he started J on antibotics. J keep waking up almost every hr at nite for the past week. then he fell off my bed on monday morning. work is also overloading me. i almost "dieded" the last few days. if he still dun recover by sat, think i gotta miss the bash again
sad.gif
he's actually still happy &amp; active but i dun wan to risk him passing the virus to ur bbs.
 
Hi Kittybride,
Hope you and your husband will get a little boy boy this time round. Keep us posted okie?

Hi Rachel,
You too. Keep us posted of your test. And also hope your maid issues can be settled soon so that you can enjoy this pregnancy to the fullest.

Hi starz,
Ya, i am also worried about spending time with the little one as certainly the elder will demand more from us. But i remember you telling me and reading somewhere that when such circumstances arise, the elder one whom is more dong3 shi4 should receive mroe attention from us whereas the younger one will probably be fine with milk and sleep until when older. That really makes me feel better and less guilty.

Hi mummies,
you all enjoy yr gathering on the 29th okay. I will post pics of the little ones once available and fit to do so.
 
Poissons: Hee...great idea for the Tricycle club. But hor, tsk tsk...monster E is terrible now. He learns to climb outta the tricycle even though we buckle him up (we took the buckle from his high chair). So it's really quite scary lor, cannot take my eyes off him for a second.

Dress up for Xmas Part: Great idea. Not sure if i have any Green + Red combination for E. Shall go home and dig. Hee...Getting more and more excited.

Poochi &amp; Mambobb: E is still on 4s too &amp; he is crawling very fast.. Dun think he'll start walking anytime soon.

Langlao: U can type Elaine Nah to search for me or my email: [email protected] to add me in facebook:)

Weishy: Yup, my sis helped me book the 2pm - 3pm slot for Mygym trial on Sunday. And it's only in Marine Parade branch coz it is open house. Call them and book now, another class b4 u leave for HK.

Cat: Hope Jovan recovers soon. U take care too.
 
K@ye:aiya no pixs to show hor.....

michviv:can show the pix of the tricycle?how much har?

langlao:me and k@T still waiting fro the reply from playdays for tomolo.....if they dun can i join u ?sms me la or post here also oki
 
Cactusnah,
Monster G also getting out of hand. His tricyle has a rabbit in the front, 2 hands holding carrot to beat the drum, he actually break one of the carrots, now the poor rabbit is only drumming on solo carrot. He hasn't learn how to climb out of the tricycle yet, but he keeps holding to the handles and stand up, so dangerous!

My MIL bought it at Beauty World, dunno where exactly the shop is cos' she brought my boy there to buy without us. Cost abt $60+ after discount I heard.
 
There's a programme by Pat Koh, something called the storynest on Sat noons.
Cos Playdays is a tad too far for me or my mum, so I have to give it a miss.
Anyone tried GUG? Is it good?
 
Idea on dressing baby up for the party: can red, white and green do? Fantastic idea.

If u ladies are game, we can let the babies play with cooked spagetthi and washable paint. They can bask in sensorial play.
 
Weishy: Here's a photo of Ethan on his bike when he was 6-7 months.Cost about $60+ from Carrefour. Think you can find similar ones at Giant or at town centers like AMK or Toa Payoh. Carrefour at Plaza Sing has a good selection! =)

Gillian: Good idea! I'll bring Ethan's big body bib just in case! Ethan had a trial class at GUG when he was 10 months. The music time was good as well as the arts and craft time but they don't give a snack unlike Julia gabriel or Playdays. The little ones love sitting down to makan! Toys also look rather worn out to me. Playdays is still very new.

Cat: When I went for the trial with Ethan. Class size was good. Not too crowded. But I think with all the November mummies signing up for class, its going to get a little more crowded. But its ok. All friends mah...=)

Langlao: Thanks for the advise on the class dates. Are you thinking of signing up Ashlee? I'm just worried that I may be travelling next year in Jan/Feb, then have to take leave to do make up lesson or ask my MIL to bring Ethan.
 
S@L,
done.. sent u a better shot liaoz...
aiyoo.. at least Mischa "allows" u to distract her... mine, nothing will distract her until she gets e clip off!!! quite a wilful girl i hv...


<font color="ff6000">yany, S@L</font>
i'm always amazed at how wonderful u girls are with baking... i used to love to bake, but only simple things like butter/durian cakes, butter cookies n stuff... but ever since having kids, totally cannot find time to do any baking at all... especially drooling at both ur Macs lor...
kao_drool.gif



<font color="ff6000">michviv</font>
thanks for sharing e info with me again... seems reli good hor... but its abit far for me.. im staying Hougang area... mayb not tis weekend, but will def find a chance to bring belle there...
i had more time n chance to bring my elder son to such baby classes lor.. he's been to mygym, little gym, kindermusik trial.. n attended 2 terms at GUG... now feel abit like i've shortchanged #2.. so making some effort now.. hehehe....


tricycle: i also have 1 which was bought since my son's time.. BUT, my son never liked it.. dont even wana be in it for more than 3mins... while for my girl, she only stays in it for a short while too.. kind of a white elephant in my hse liaoz...
kao_sticktongue.gif



<font color="ff6000">gillian</font>
hi... still remember i "bunked" a ride from u to plumsource's house gathering...
kao_smile.gif

my son actually attended 2 terms at GUG when he was abt 15mths old.. he was in e parents n babe class for 1term, n parents n tots class for 1term... they teach zoo-phonics, got singing session alternate lesson, hands-on time with some simple projects... it reli depends on e tod lor.. my son was totally disinterested in the going-on of the class.. only during singing sessions that he had some interest. even for hands-on time, only selected "projects" tat he liked then he will do lor.. so for my case, i didnt find it particularly "good" for him... but the other kids in e class seems to enjoy it much more than him... in e end i pulled him out cos GUG is reli quite ex, n our saturdays are "burnt" cos after coming back frm class, we cant do much for e rest of e day... perhaps u can go for a trial n see if ur boy enjoys e lesson being committing....
 
langlao:sorry the playdays class is thurs ,which is tomolo
happy.gif


party attire:me will be dressing hayley up with the gift from aunty langlao hehehhehehheheheh :p
very nice!!!!! ans suits the occassion,will bring spare clothes in case all decided to egt dirty hehhehehhehe
 
re: tricycles
wow, so many babies are onto tricycles oredi ah.
my gal still on the stride &amp; ride. she just started to stride by herself but hasn't learn how to climb OUT of it. having problem raising her leg out from one side to the other.

last wkend she was under my hb 'care' and she was on trying to get out by herself. end up she toppled over and hit her head on the cabinet door.

re: xmas party dresscode
i like the idea too!
now gotta dig out those colors liao :D

re: baby porridge
k@ye, i thk chloe will probably have early dinner at your place too coz her lunch is usually around 1pm.
happy.gif


yany
wow, your chocolate macaron makes me drool liao...

S@L,
can't wait to have ONE of yours too!
happy.gif


Pig07
yup, hb very confident he will have a SON but i will just wait for the verdict this Fri.
happy.gif

will keep you all updated for sure.

2 more days to go hor... beta enjoy the time left - go for mani/pedi/hair treatment/spa/etc etc etc before the confinement starts ya! :D

starz
thanks for your advise.
i was also talking to my colig and most of them say i very garang, coz age gap so close between my #1 and #2 - most of them have a least 2 years in between. and i probably wun get any helper coz hb dun like to have a maid at home.
will definitely be a challenge lor... but i guess, is part of life; just have to go thru it
happy.gif

yes, i also can't wait for chloe to have a mate to play with... she's really clingy coz now has all the attention lor.
happy.gif


gillian,
play with cooked spaghetti?
no sauce to go with it rite? else super messy leh. my gal likes to 'press' the noodles or rice that falls onto the table - then she will drag it across (to make it super mashed up) then pretend to touch me or hubby. wah... make our clothings dirty only! ahahha... so notti rite?!

k@ye,
my gal also started to shake butt a little, but mostly is the 'up-down' sequence instead of 'left-right'. maybe can play some kiddy songs to see whose babies have the most "shakable butt". ahahaa...
 
Langlao, Possions playdays class is FOC. Rem to bring extra set of clothes &amp; swim kit cos theres goona be some water activities.

possions, I bked for us tog wif langlao for 6 Nov 3-430pm.
 
Tricycle: My HB bght it from Toa Payoh Kiddy Palace, abt $60 also i think. He bght E there alone, i wasnt with them. Dun really like the design, but anything lah. I saw one nicer one at Carrefour, abt $90 with scooter look alike design. But that model is w/o the safety barrier, worst if i buy that for E. Also, i find those with platform leg rest better and more suitable for our younger ones as compared to those with normal pedal coz they usually wont rest their legs on the pedal. Pedal type is more suitable for older toddlers. Just my view.

Poissons: Ya, i saw from yr blog regarding the poor rabbit. Kee kee...My boy ever fell once from the tricycle, so my MIL is very scare to put him in there.
 
starz thanks i got it
happy.gif
dun drool dun drool, come for the party and u will get to eat my macs...hahaha but hv to make do with my standard la!

Yany, interesting col combi
happy.gif
i still prefer my macs in vibrant tones! wahahhaa...

michviv, yes u should try it. i m hooked! this is what i did yday:
1923034.jpg
 
S@L: wow.. yummy yummy.. ahiyo.. like this hor.. this sat I cant help to eat up all the dessert first before eating up the main dish.. haha..
 
re:tricycle. I have sort of a similiar one like Michviv has something to support bb around the waist, handle to push behind, music to entertain them, something for the feet to rest. Isaac got it for his birthday, think the guest told me she got it from Carrfour I think. But the only thing is that there is no way to adjust the vol so I use a masking tape to tape the speaker to make it softer. They are quite happy to sit inside and u push along. Try it mummies. But maybe can borrrow from someone first, if they really like it then buy it.
happy.gif


pig07: thanks alot. U still remember I got maid problem. Hee...hee.. the problem is still there I just take it in my stride. Give u some headaches examples.

1) Whole of last week doing bed rest, she will want to speak to me daily, 1st day telling me that she wants to transfer to look after elderly, as she is nervous to look after infant. So she wants to work till I am due. Then I let her speak to her agent to tell them about her wishes. Then she is happy for that day.

2) Then she told me she wants to write letter to her hubby, then I told dun write, I let u call. She said she wants. So I told her ok if u want go ahead but let me fax yr letter back to agency for them to check. After writing the letter, she told me, she changed her mind and if I let her call, she will not write the letter. So I got fed up and scolded her...

3)Then again told me she wants to transfer to look after elderly as saw my mil, she very happy as she doesn't have grandma and etc. So I know one of my friends who is looking for a maid to look after elderly, but I did mention to my friend, I dun think my maid can look after one, so I just ask my friend to entertain my maid and tell her the duties she has to do. In the end, my maid told me she is happy working for me and dun want to change. So she is fickle, I will change her anyway.

4) On top of that, agency after care service is really lousy, they will say will get back by then and then, we heard nothing from them. Once in a while need to push them again. This time, again they are giving me a transfer maid, as saying that employer leaving S'pore to work oversea....supposed to send bio data this morning, till now, I heard nothing from today. sigh....

So mummies need to ensure that agency provide good and prompt service before u sign up with them. If not, problem one...
