littleprincesses,
I won't be able to attend the gathering on Friday as we're going back to KL and will only return at the end of the month
We live pretty close to each other, I gather that you are near Hillcrest? I live at Swiss Club
Hope there will be another gathering again soon, have a great time!
Earth_baby,
My hubby is Korean but works in KL so we commute for now. We have double of almost everything so we don't have to bring too much back and forth everytime. Tough but what to do? I'm a SAHM too and help is here so I'm pretty much on my own there, but there's nothing like being able to manage on my own. Makes me feel like supermom haha
Maddy's mum,
Yes art historian and cellist.. haha.. very arty farty couple. Hubby arranges and performs a lot of music for cello and guitar; classical, latin and flamenco stuff. I'll be happy to pass you a CD since you've been exposing Maddy to Yo-Yo Ma already
I really look forward to meeting Maddy, and our babes have the same bday too! But it's such a pity that Ethan and I won't be able to attend the gathering this Friday as we have to return to KL and will only be back at the end of the month
I do hope we'll be able to join the next gathering, have a great time!
About the Veggie Tales, have you gotten them yet?
I'm checking with a supplier if she has some, will let you know if you're interested

For GE, I bought first the Total Shield as a health insurance using Medisave, less than $100, have to check the exact amount at home.
http://www.lifeisgreat.com.sg/en/jsp/products/products/protection/totalshield.jsp
Then the SupremeHealth is to cover the co-insurance, this policy has to be paid by cash, think $200+ a year. I chose the SHP P Plus for Private hospital.
http://www.lifeisgreat.com.sg/en/jsp/pdf/brochure_pdf/supremehealth.pdf
For the AIA, I'll check tonight and email u cos cant remember the infor now as my husband bought it.. me in charge of health plan.. hehee..
I've pm you the GE agent contact number too..

just an opinion, pls dun bomb me or tell me that i am giving the wrong advise. you all are mummies liao.. shld be old enuff to analyse yourself.
Now is not a time to put money in any insurance term/life plans because it still not clear if other financial institutions will fall victim to this "global" crisis. Term/life insurance normally breakeven > 5 yrs. So to stop any of these insurance in the next few yrs , we are sure to lose money.
As for health/home insurance, when you terminate , your premium will normally be pro-rated. So if you dun feel safe , you still can terminate with little loss.
To date : btw me and my hubby with have 15 policies with AIA..

HI MUMMIES! Been MIA for many days. Previously, was down with virus flu/fever, and last week my bb was infected too. Was admitted to hospital 1 night and back home, he cant sleep for 3 nights! He has high fever and bad cough/flu + phelgm. Every time he tried to sleep, 10mins later he will get choke by his phelgm, and cry loudly. Very poor baby! But now, he's recovering well and been very cheerful these few days. Plus he's officially teething last week too, and made him more uncomfortable. And now is my DH down with fever, sigh! very very tiring...

curious, how do let bb try more than 1 type cereal? Need to mix all or???
Re: starting on semi solids
Today pedi says my boy is twice his weight (in fact since long ago), has quite strong upper back, so can soon sit by himself, most importantly, he's losing his interest in milk, so nod nod can start solids!
His daily intake has dropped from 900ml to now 800ml.

XiaoZhu,
Interesting that your son doesn't like solids, mine adores it! He took to the spoon like he was born with it, no pun intended.. heh
He turns 5 months on Friday and we've been feeding him solids for almost 2 weeks now, Healthy Times brown rice cereal as well as Heinz baby jars. Sometimes combined to make a more substantial meal.
Have you tasted the baby jar food yourself? I have and it's not as bland as one might think. It's rather tasty so I actually add a little water to it.
Try the Heinz jars in fruit flavors (apple+mango, pear+banana), your son might like it better. Give him some time, it's an acquired taste for some babies
Alternatively, add finely pounded ikan bilis to porridge or boil pork with the porridge for extra flavor and sweetness. YUM!

RE : TV ( good or bad program ) are all no good for babies..
**do you agree with this article? **
http://www.whitedot.org/issue/iss_story.asp?slug=ADHD%20Toddlers
<font color="0000ff">Are parents who use infant videos such as "Baby Einstein" and "Teletubbies" putting their child at risk for a lifetime of Special Ed classes, school "behavioral therapy" and Ritalin?
In the study of more than 2,000 children, Christakis found that for every hour watched at age one and age three, the children had almost a ten percent higher chance of developing attention problems that could be diagnosed as ADHD by age 7. A toddler watching three hours of infant television daily had nearly a 30 percent higher chance of having attention problems in school. </font>

Diva & Tsukushi - I think it's the content not so tasty. Lol. I did tried the food. Quite blend. If compare home cook one, freshly steam and mashed, taste more sweeter and nicer. XD My boy like the brown rice. Just started let him taste other semi-food food. keke...

i started Dominic with healthy times barley cereal to ease constipation. he likes the taste of it. MIL warned that it may be too cooling. going by chinese method, it makes sense that barley cereal will be more cooling. so i only give him for breakfast on weekends. he doesn't take on weekdays.
another point is that the barley cereal i think likely to be "holland" type barley. barley from china is more cooling , compared to angmo barley. (sorry can't find a better description for angmo barley , i know it comes from holland but maybe other western countries too.)
