Val,
his phlegm and cough is better today. At least better then the weekend. i can really hear his phlegm even when breathing, so scary. I just called back to my mil, he is slowly drinking his milk but needs alot of patiences to coax him.

Anyway i have made appt with Dr Ong, in event if he havent recover by then, i will bring him down for a thorough check.

Ooh i am at work today, doing my handover for this week. No, Liying is not my lunch kakis leh and usually we will drive out to eat, me and colleagues are lazy, we dun walk to Atrium to eat... hehehe

Val , Corynn

That day Saturday i went to the Sebawang for this child care centre openhouse call Star Learner .

I was impress with the centre cos the place sooo big loh ....two semi-D combine together .
The branch at Sebawang is their fourth branch and the biggest and newest which opened 2 years ago .

And they have gym , music , spreed and drama and abacus classes for 2 years and above . But is a full day childcare....
sad.gif
.

I still thinking to put him there as hubby like the place too ...but i scare i very heartpain to put him there for the whole day

When Jorel was there ...he was so happy playing and walking around .

And their ration 5 kids : 1 teacher plus a assiant . And their rates are very attractive loh .

Hubby and I are still discussing to put him there 18mths or 2 years old .

We are still looking around and short-listing some other centres .

If we decided to put him in fullday.I dun want to stress him up by putting him in class for JG or weekend class liao ....cos since the school got all the various activities and weekend we want to spend time wif him .
 
jo,
this is the one u n eric mentioned behind SSC?

ya...if jorel attending full time cc then no point sending him for enrichment class if nt mon to fri attend sch weekends still need to go class.
 
jo,
hahahaa. jorel dun need gym liao. he is already v active. hahahaa.

i like speech and drama and abacus =) how much for each of the extra activity?
 
val ,

But i`m interested in Gym for him ahahah ...The gym is like 45 to 60 dollars for a mth .

Not too sure abt the speech and drama / abacus .

Haven really find out on those yet .
 
jo,
ahaahhaa. scally he even more active aft attending the gym then u really jialat big time. hehehe.

45-60 a mth is quite reasonable le. how often per week? or everyday?
 
Mummies,
Would like to check with you whether your toddlers have start to speak clearly yet? My ger recently has been babbing alot... and sometimes I can only make out certain words...Any way to improve their speech or how shd I teach them?
 
angela, haha.. re: JG.. at least got something to entertain megan liao.. and u won't be that bored also mah..

jo, i read many good comments about star learners in sembawang... if i stay near there, think i will put matthias there also lo. haha.. i went to see other branches in eunos but it's damn old.. the one in simei also not very attractive.. but their fees quite attractive.. haha.. i'm putting matthias in full day childcare for sure cos my mother is going to take care of my niece and don't want my boy to learn bahasa indonesia.. lol. btw, what's the Gym u mentioned? i'm interested in gym for matthias too..

val, what's the speech and drama?

faye77, i think if 2 parcels combined exceed S$400 in CGW or BDL, sure kena GST but for vpost if different merchants, won't kena.

feifei, my boy can say some words quite clearly.. but most of the time, just babbling.. i think it's normal, just let them take their pace..
happy.gif
 
cheri ,

hahah really huh i actually never heard abt this childcare centre until my gal frez told me about it .

The gym classes i haven really find out more yet ....maybe you want to check wif the simei branch .
 
Val ,

Is once a week nia leh ....and if we did not enrol the extra activity .

They will only teach them normal and basic only . But of course i KS if i am in i will let him join the music , gym and speech & drama
 
cheri,
Jo was saying there are extra activities @ Star Learner like gym, speech n drama, abacus etc.

I used to join Act3 when I was in pri sch. So i wans Damien to take up drama n speech as well. I think speech n drama is gd for kids to expressive themselves better =)

Act3, JG and Star Learner has got speech n dramas so next time i wld like to enrol damien to try lo. hehehe.


jo,
HAHAHAHA. u really KS ho! wan him to join gym, music, speech n drama. argh, i think if me, i will also put him in more than 1 activity la. whahaha.

ok. when my hubby is "release" then will arrange weekend to go see. =)

besides cc, do they have playgrd ah?
 
Val ,

they dun have playgroup leh is either half day or full day childcare .

But the rates are similar loh for working mum after the subsidy .
 
cheri ,

Where did you read the comments about star learner huh ?? Cos i try to search cannot find much informations .

Val ,

I haven yet to find out another one which is opposite Star Learn call Perform @junior which my gal frez enrolled her gal there cos their speech and drama is good which i heard .
 
Jo,
I think i know which one u mentioned. It's near the low rise condo right?

I brought Shaine to LNT last sunday. Hmmm, i register for the trial. Will see how lor.
 
Corynn ,

hmmm i only know is opposite Sebangwa Shopping centre loh .

Which LNT you enrol ? Let me know the feedback .

Thank you .

I was quite interested in Igenius too !!
 
ladies ,

My colleague just told me the little Charmaine is actually her not so close cousin`s daughter .

When she knew about it she is so sad ....!!
 
swifygal,
Hmm... like what most of the mummies said, u r not alone lor. Dun worry abt venting yr anger here. We are here to listen and read abt each other problems and try helping one another.
I can understand how u feel especially when all yr close friends and families are not there with u... is never easy to take care of bb all by yrself. But, u must hang on there cos' after a while u will get used to it and be more independent ler. For me, I went thru a few months of bb blue too... when I first bought Rachel over all by myself to join my Hb in India. No MIL, No Mum to help me. So when hb went to work... I have to take care all by myself as well. I also felt the same way once and went a bit crazy, when she juz couldn't stop crying and refuse to sleepz. ALWAYS Try to calm yrself down and think of those happy moments when that happen.
As for the not eating, drinking and slping... try finding out what is the cause first... there must be a reason for them to reject der. Example, Like teething, dun like that particular food or she felt insecure when she fall asleep?
Juz share with us each time u encounter problem, we are here to help okie... We mummies here know yr problem best cos' we have been thru it too =)
Hmm... also juz chking is yr hb schedule a permanent ones or juz temp only? Cos' u must let him know u realli need his support and help too. Afterall, he should play his part as a father too, this is what i think lor. If realli due to work committment cannot change the schedule then is best u seek help in SG first. When yr gal is must older than go back, is juz a suggestion to help u out =)

Diana,
Aiyo!! *Sayang* Daryl... Must be very painful! Is he better now? Dun worry la, maybe after this time, yr hb will be more careful ler.

Jer,
huh? like that also can... nowadays realli diff to hire a normal maid liao.

Angela,
ouch! flip ah... is it bleeding then? poor gal!! Chiamz... like that also kanna f =p
Megan play u out again haha!

Dolly,
Hope Rayden is much better ler.

Re: Zoo Trip
Agreed lor, let's call off this time cos' increase of H1N1 and also the weather is damn hot, can't imagine me with rachel under that hot sun!! sweating away, how to enjoy??

Jo,
ah... that means is yr colleague's niece lor? So poor thing... I'm thinking of donating some $$, although can't help alot but at least make me feel abit better.

Re: Robinson sales at Expo
Today, cheong Expo Robinson's sales and found out they have Fox sales there. Not much nice design left
sad.gif
must be all gone by then liao haha. But still managed to grab a mini skirt and Fox Sweater for Rachel. For me, I grab a Winter Vest Jacket and a top nia. Thought Monday nobody but still alot of Aunties lei... Especially the hourly special call came from the bedsheet section... wah all cheong there like spotted honey keke!
 
dear all,

thank you for all your advice... really feel so much better knowing that i am not alone with these crazy emotions...

i think partly is because i PMS too... all the hormones getting into me, normally i am not so impatient and I am so glad my menses came today... now i know why i am so horrible already...

Dolly and Poky, both of you are right, after i realise what i am doing... i know i got to stop and walk away... better to leave her there crying safely then me trying to vent my anger by being near her... so i quickly walk away to keep cool and to let out my fustration by crying... after that feel better and i can go back carry her and hug her and try to put her to sleep again...though i feel very guilty after the whole episode... really feel very depressed... is like i really love my gal, she is my life but why i have no patience for her leh... you know that kind of thinking... and my imagination can really run wild being all alone...

Diana, Corynn & Alice, my hubby job here is permanent, we are in the process of getting green card, so gog back SG is not an option for now..... and gog back SG may be another problem too cos we have no house no car etc and we practically have no baby stuff back in sg so gog back will be more logistically headache, plus my mum is now caring for my 3 mth old nephew.. .think if go back stay with her i also more headahche another little baby... my hubby is very helpful, after i told him what happen, he din get angry for what i did, and when he is back, he will help me do housework, clean the dishes after i cook, bathe and play with Elysia... only when he is away at work, got no choice loh...


val, thanks for the hug... need lot of it... :p

RE:Sleeping, actually my gal follow a sleep routine at night one and normally concuss at 10.30pm, and it is quite ok, just dunno why last week just go hay wire, dun follow, want to play until 12 - 1 am then tired herself out then sleep

choc, i dun rock my gal to sleep one, she normally after bath, play, read book, sing song then lie down nurse to sleep... dunno why dun follow last week... i did try rocking her to sleep when she cranky last week, instead of sleeping she find it so fun... giggle and laugh... think her energy really very high... but afternoon she also dun sleep long at most 1hr only.. dunno why so much energy

RE: Eating and drinking milk...

Jer, bottle i gave up training long ago, last time let her cry and go hungry for 2 weeks also dun work, she super stubborn one. now using sippy cup (i have to remove the non-drip valve)to feed whole milk, cos she hates formula... but she still wont drink like 4 oz in one go, i can only manage to give to her during meals time, but recently she during meals time also reject, only want to drink water... then solid, ai yo, try so many differnet stuff, ang mo type instant mac&cheese, pasta, chinese type, rice with fish, chicken, beef, egg... she eat a little bit then dun wan liao... I think maybe it's really because teething.. cos her gum aare all swollen and can see the white white teeth inside her gums but nothing coming out leh... is teething like this??? she also nvr really drool or keep looking for things to chew or bite... now her favourite is kid's golden graham breakfast cereal.... and yoghurt... i really hope her teeth faster come out and let this phase pass...

BTW, how much you all feed them now? like if give rice how much by teaspoon? milk shd be drinking how much now?

ok on happier stuff now... i am feeling much better...

show you all a video of my gal dancing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGDGFW
 
argh..... i now very frustrated with the agent! The stupid agent keeping saying that the maid lied about her condition and want us to pay if we want a replacement! My mum works as a clinic assistant, she was the one that noticed why this maid eyeball is protuding out, so she asked the maid. My mum was the one who told me about the maid condition. My mum checked her eye and also realised there is something growing under her eyelid. Then the agent go and tell my mil said maybe maid lying becos she went thru medical checkup and its fine. BUT the thing is medical checkup only check for pregnancy, tb and hiv which i thinks the agency should be jolly aware of it!
 
Jer ,
Oh dear ...maid problem again . Send away one another one problem sigh ...!!


Swifygal ,


I used the Gain IQ milk powder scoop ....rice about each 4 scoops of the rice .

Alice ,
